Earlier this year Yorkley Arts & Entertainment organised a very successful event at The Bailey Inn to commemorate the centenary of Yorkley Institute. Now there is a 36-page, A5 sized booklet that similarly captures the last hundred years of Yorkley community - Remembered and Forgotten.

This story of Yorkley 1911-2011 includes contributions from David Adams, Gary Brown, Maggie Clutterbuck, Steve Cooper, Roger and Terry Jones, Averil Kear, Chris Nancollas, Freda Phipps, Baroness Jan Royall and Brian Waters, and should be on the bookshelf of every house in the village!

It's on sale at the Forest Bookshop, Dean Heritage Museum and Monmouth Bookshop. Buy local and get it from The Bailey Inn or Yorkley Post Office. A collectors' item, a perfect Christmas stocking-filler and and a bargain at £3.

Look out for Yorkley Arts & Entertainment's next publication, the life and poetry of Yorkley's first Bard of the Forest, Richard Morse.
