Did you know that there were local demonstrations against the Vaccination Bill of 1867? Why were "3 handfuls of wormewood, buglosse, dendelyon and hawthorne budds" prescribed in 1795? Who was Hannah Smith and why was she brought from Wootton to Sarsden in 1826? Why did the man-midwife, Charles Phillips of Chipping Norton, deliver the babies of Churchill?
