JOHN ATYEO HOUSE PLAQUE

John’s family home was 60 High Street, Dilton Marsh, Westbury, Wilts, BA23 4DY.

A wall plaque has been arranged by the Local History Society and will be unveiled on:

Friday, 24th September at 6.30pm.

A gathering will be held afterwards at Dilton Marsh Memorial Hall also in the High Street but BA13 4DW followed by:

“JOHN ATYEO’S LIFE IN FOOTBALL”

a talk by John’s biographer Tom Hopegood at 7.30pm

A shame that talk at 7.30pm couldn't be recorded (or streamed) - many would love to hear it.

Sorry.....I don't get it?  What is the connection between Madeira and Jersey/Guernsey...am I missing something?

During the 1960's Jersey signed an agreement with Madeira for individuals to settle on the island as 'staff' for the holiday trade. Therefore there is a significant number of 'Madeiran' individuals, and their families, now settled on the island.
