Please direct any Highbrook queries to John Downe Village Days As part of the fund-raising for the refurbishment of the Village Hall in 1998-1999, the residents of Highbrook ran Village days in May 1998 and 2002.. The village days included sheep racing, a treasure hunt, a classic car show, cream teas, plant sales and open gardens.
As part of the publicity, and in order to involve everyone there was a Scarecrow competition in which every household made and put on display a scarecrow. This became
a major local attraction and certainly made In December 2001, the West Hoathly Millennium Parish Map was launched at a very well attended ceremony in West Hoathly Village Hall. Chairman of the Parish Council Christine Field explained how the project started, and thanked all those who had participated. Pauline Comber, of Comber & Son, unveiled the Map, which stands approximately 5 feet tall. Eighteen artists had combined their talents to produce the Map, including Terry Cooper and Bob Sellens from Highbrook. The picture includes the names of all residents of the parish in 2000 and watercolours and calligraphy by Highbrook residents. The master copy of the Map will hang in the lobby of West Hoathly Village Hall, and a framed copy now hangs in Highbrook Village Hall, as a mark of gratitude to those Highbrook residents who contributed their time and expertise to the project.
