Unveiling the Village Cross at Datchet
The handsome village cross which Mrs Crake has erected at Datchet was unveiled on Thursday. Mrs Crake has lived in the parish for 70 years and is one of only five people who were alive there in 1837 at the time of the Queen’s accession.There was a very large attendance of inhabitants and villagers, and the village wa gaily decorated, the Union Jack being displayed by many houses. However, the Drinking Fountain which the late Lady Georgiana Needham provided for the village appeared neglected, and it would have been left without adornment if old Mr Crude, who was gardener to the late Lady Needham, had not managed to borrow a flag and get one of the more nimble villagers to affix it to the summit.
Punctually at half past twelve the Vicar, with the choir, started from the Church and took up a position near the cross. A hymn was sung and prayers
