This year marks 25 years since the Millennium. To commemorate that occasion, Radley History Club commissioned the artwork to create a large, annotated colour map of Radley featuring many of the village’s historic landmarks. The map – commonly referred to as the ’Millennium Map’ – proved popular and many were sold at the time. Many past and present Radley residents have one!
There are still some left to buy at a cost of £5 (plus postage and packing). If you’d like one, please get in touch with Joyce Huddleston (chairman@radleyhistoryclub.org.uk).
Back in November 2024, one of the maps was sent (courtesy of Royal Mail) all the way to California to someone who had found details of it on this website. His name was Steve Fabes and he’d been born in Radley in 1944 during the war when his parents, refugees from London, were living in the attic flat at Lower Farm. Steve even gave his youngest son the middle name ‘Radley’. He can remember his father referring to the farmer as ‘Mr Frierson’ and thinks the family probably moved back to London in 1946. Steve still has relatives in the UK but has lived in California for over 50 years.
