Welcome to the Merton Village Website

I am working on my genealogy, and discovered my ancestor, Hannah Maycock was baptized in Merton. I am getting ready to order a microfilm of the parish records and discovered they only cover the years 1721 - 1837. I was wondering if the records previous to this time are still in existence? Thanks so much!

Just to say what a pleasure it was helping out with the sound and light at your most wonderful Summer Beer Festival!

family from bletchington (unverified): I would just like to thank the person/people who stole my daughters (age 14) phone,i-pod and money along with her friends phones , camera ect. She had no way of contact me to pick her up. This left scared and crying. I hope you get some plesure out of your theiving.

Hello, Will You Be Needing Any Help This Year For The Summer Beerfest? I Will Be Happy To Help With Anything Thanks Alot
From Fabi

Hello,
some friends of mine are going to the beerfest in July and told me that there would be a fete day on the 18th July. I was wondering whether you already had a face painter for that day, or if not, whether you'd be interested in having me do some face painting on that day. I have been painting for a number of years at community and church events and, after some intensive training, have recently taken up face painting more seriously.
I am based in Oxford and am keen to work locally.
If you go to my website www.lapislizard.co.uk you can get some idea of the standard of work that you can expect.
If you are interested , I would be keen to discuss possibilities.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes

My son has told me about your summer beer festival. When is it? The web only mentions a Winter Festival as I shall be visiting in July I might be able to sample if I knew the date.
Best regards,
