We are grateful to Claire and Mark Vice of Watchfield for the donation of some original documents that were the deeds for their premises at Watchfield.
The buildings to which the documents refer are the property that was formerly the village Post Office in the High Street, and the three small cottages attached to it. This listing will be a valuable aid to those seeking to learn more of the evolution of the village and to those researching their family history.
