Village Show– Followed by Sports
Keen Interest in Hargrave Exhibition
The fourth annual Hargrave Flower Show was held on Bank Holiday in the schoolroom and adjoining field, by kind permission respectively of the Rector (Rev. F C Boultbee) and Mr. T. Newton, and marked a distinct advance, the numbers of exhibitors being 109, as compared with about 60 last year, while entries were close on 500, compared with about 350 last year. Raunds, Higham Ferrers, Rushden, and other places contributed prize-winners. With the exception of a very wet morning on the day of the first show, the society has been fortunate in the way of weather, and there seems no reason why its career should not be one of increasing usefulness.

Jubilee Day 1935 - Parade at Hargrave
The celebration of the Royal Silver Jubilee in Hargrave was a memorable one, with flags and streamers at vantage points. And cottages displaying emblems.
Bells of the Parish Church heralded the morning. The thanksgiving service held in the Church was an impressive one. The hymn, “I vow to thee my country,” was given as a solo by a boy chorister, and an address by the Rector. Following the service all children were assembled on the Rectory lawn and presented with suitably-inscribed mementoes.
Frivolity had its fling in the afternoon, when there was a parade in which a large number took part in nursery rhyme, historical and burlesque selections, prizes being given.
Children’s sports followed, and excellent tea was provided for all the village, and adult sports took place in the evening. While a halt was called, loud-speakers broadcast the King’s speech.
