Chippenham Park: the clock tower through the trees The Grade II* listed stable block dates from the late 17th century. This is a view taken from the boundary of the cricket field on the damp afternoon of St George's Day. Not all of the fine trees in the park had come into leaf in a cool spring.

Chippenham: shadows lengthening This was Chippenham's last league match of a season in which they were champions of Cambridgeshire Cricket Association Junior League Division 1 North. Shadows were lengthening after tea as Camden (Cambridge) made a decent but unsuccessful attempt to overtake the home side's impressive 242 for 8, reaching 186 for 9 in their 40 overs.
