In 1870-72, John Goring's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Easton like this:
In 2006 Easton remains a small village but underwent limited development during the inter and post-war period. The population has grown by about 300 since John Goring's time. Around ten additional houses have been built since 2000, and the land price has rocketed, although planning restrictions are very strict. The church mentioned in the above passage still stands and operates. There are two Pub s in the village (The Chestnut Horse and The Cricketers), a small auto-garage and a village hall. The hall performs various functions including creche services, WI meetings, a pavillion for the village cricket team and is the venue for an annual pantomime. The hall is soon to demolished and rebuilt, using funds from The National Lottery and independent donors. Many events happen in Easton, including the Annual Pantomime (mentioned ubove). The pantomime is loved by all members of the village, whether they take part, or go along to support their friends! Another annual event is the summer fete, where stalls are run, produce sold, games played and money raised. |
