First came the Wilts & Berks canal from Abingdon-on-Thames to reach the Kennet and Avon canal in mid-Wiltshire. This (shown in blue on the map) passes south of the village and originally ran through into Swindon town centre. It took 15 years to complete with the official Opening Ceremony being conducted on 14th September 1810. The canal was abandoned in 1914 but the Wilts & Berks Canal Trust is gradually restoring parts of it. It didn't mention history that much, so it didn't really let me think of history.

Gibbons wrote these words in her autobiographical novel Enbury Heath (1935). Her biographer and nephew Reggie Oliver maintains that this is clearly a description of Telford Gibbons.

Not far away from The Eagles, and another rung or two up the social ladder are the Springs, Mrs Spring, her bookish niece Hetty and her son Victor, handsome and full of confidence, he is the undisputed Prince Charming of the neighbourhood. Victor is unofficially engaged to Phyllis a rather hilariously awful character that Gibbons is so good at creating. Victor Spring may be the Prince Charming of the piece, but he certainly appears to not be in any way a hero. At a ball which serves to bring some much needed distraction to the inhabitants of The Eagles, Victor first really notices Viola, despite having already given a lift to her and Tina when caught in a rain storm – his intentions however are anything but honourable. I really like this book a lot because of all the morals behind it. ‘The Secret of Nightingale Wood’ is about a twelve year old girl whose family have moved to the countryside after her mother got ill due to her brother’s death. The ‘Hope House’ that they moved into was holding some secrets and mystery. One of the sweets that Henrietta (the twelve year old girl) discovers is to do with ‘Nightingale Wood’. Henrietta makes many friends along the way; on her mission to cure her mum and also help her magical friends. This has become one of my favourite books because the main character shows a lot of determination when she proves some of the people wrong. I think that, in the future, I will read a lot more books written by this author. Where Are They Now". Penguin Books. 2010. Archived from the original on 15 November 2013 .

Village land was originally marsh, hence ‘Marston’, old English for ‘marsh farm’. As the marshes receded, people moved in to farm the fertile land. The remains of a medieval village can still be seen today, and evidence of iron age and roman remains are regularly found in the surrounding fields. The aims of management at both woodlands will be to continue to provide a valuable resource for the health and wellbeing of local communities, with wildlife and biodiversity that will continue to be enhanced through our management, with opportunities taken to enhance these features. Currently Nightingale and Overscourt each have their own dedicated Forest Plan, but despite the fact that they are 40 miles apart, they are due to be amalgamated into one Forest Plan in the near future. This will provide an opportunity to focus on Community Woodland in West England District at a much wider scale with more cohesive management.

I read this because I'm crazy about Gibbons's more famous novel: Cold Comfort Farm. Seriously, I'm in love with that book. This is a very accomplished social comedy set in the mid-1930s. It centers on Viola Wither, a twenty-one-year-old bit of fluff of a widow who has been forced for pecuniary reasons to leave London and go live with her stodgy in-laws in Essex. But Viola is such a slight and shallow character that she can’t really carry an entire novel, so Gibbons sagely widens her lens to focus on several of the women in the book, with little dips into the minds of the men. Viola’s sisters-in-law, Madge and Tina, and a neighboring girl all get their own storylines. Speaking of a waltz at a charity ball, Gibbons says, “It was an exciting melody, slow and dreamy and strong, with the swaying rhythm beating through it like the sea under showers of foam. . . . People glanced at one another and laughed, and waded into the ocean of music as the moonlit bathers had gone out into the silver-green sea . . . and the dancers dreamed that life was beautiful, in a world toppling with monster guns and violent death.” That description drove me straight to YouTube to listen to the melody (the description was better than the tune, sigh). a b c d e f Cooke, Rachel (7 August 2011). "Stella Gibbons: Cold Comfort Farm was just the beginning". The Observer. The family move to the country side; Henrietta’s mum falls ill, the doctor uses the “rest method” to make her better. I enjoyed knowing what Henrietta thought about her new life. Her point of view is clear, I could definitely relate to her! I enjoyed solving the mysteries around the characters, particularly Moth, the lady in the woods: why did she live there?The book I read was called The Secret of Nightingale Wood by Lucy Strange. I think it was the VERY best out of the lot. I REALLY enjoyed reading this book because it was full of amazing similes and super writing. It always keeps you thinking and powers your imagination. When I first started reading this book I just couldn’t put it down! I have suggested this book to literally EVERYONE in my class! I think it is the best book I have read so far. Why I didn’t like it: I didn’t like the book because it took a long time to find out who caused the fire in the woods.

For Gibbons, the suburb offered an ideal vantage point for exploring both urban modernity and countryside traditionalism, and for observing both literary modernism and the vestigial Romanticism of popular rural fiction."El primero de ellos se trata, como no podía ser de otra manera del título que ha supuesto el número 100, y no podía ser otra la elegida que su bandera y una de las artífices de su éxito: Stella Gibbons. El libro en cuestión es “La segunda vida de Viola Wither” y reúne una de esas tramas tan características suyas en la que Viola Wither, la protagonista, se casa con alguien a quien no ama y al enviudar va a vivir con su familia política teniendo a partir de ese momento la posibilidad de conocer a un magnate soltero que se parece a Gatsby y que se caracteriza por su superficialidad. Esta trama le sirve como pretexto para montar todo tipo de situaciones cómicas, con una sátira que siempre se mete con el orden y costumbres imperantes y te lleva en volandas con su prosa elegante sin olvidar momentos entrañables. Nada nuevo a lo que ya nos tenía acostumbrados en sus otras novelas, bien hecho, sin deslumbrar, pero siempre de manera interesante. Es una buena recomendación, sobre todo para el verano.
