Village Appraisal 1997-1999
Appraisal cover Leading up the Millennium, a team of villagers researched and collated a wide variety of information on Ickford and published it as a Village Appraisal in 1999.

It is a survey of views of local people to take stock of all aspects of their community. It gathered facts & opinions from local residents and looked at both the past and present of Ickford to enable us to participate in shaping our future.
