Historical Photos of Our Parish
Did you know…?
Staffordshire Past Track has some fantastic historical information on Staffordshire and our parish. One such example is this photo, taken circa 1900 – 1910.
A view of the corner of Marston Road and High Street with the Wheaton Aston Institute and Reading Room on the left, built in 1887, and now the Village Hall. On the right is Mayland’s supply store and Post Office. In local directories of 1904 1912 the proprietor and sub-postmaster is listed as George Rhodes Mayland. The Mayland family ran the shop between 1901 and 1972 when the building was demolished.
Date:1900 – 1910

Preparing Young People for the New Term
It is important to remember that every young person will have had different experiences during the school holidays. Some may feel ready to go back to school and for a change in environment, whilst other’s might be feeling apprehensive at the thought of returning due feeling more secure at home and overwhelmed thinking about the changes a new school year will bring.
As a parent or carer your role during the holidays may have accelerated and you might have had extra time to talk and connect with your young person being around them more at home. There are ways to keep connected as we approach the first term of the school year, to check in with them and to talk about their mental health.
