| Recently we received an e-mail from George Robins (below) who told a fascinating tale:- |
 “In 1955 I was an apprentice carpenter with Chapman Lowry & Puttick working on the new Treloars School at Upper Froyle. We carpenters were sent to line out the new village hall about March time. I have described the job in my very rough draft that I started a couple of years ago and attach an extract which may be of interest.”

| George has given us permission to quote from his work which you can read below (Froyle Village Hall) and in Memories (Treloar School). |
| “The other job was lining out the walls of the village hall at Lower Froyle with “Tentest” insulating board. We were supplied with a special tool for the joints. This was rather like a lightweight plane with a Stanley knife blade set at a forty five-degree angle. This was used on the edges of the boards to give a vee joint where they came together. Many years later I was in Lower Froyle and popped round to see the pavilion and it was just as we had left it but I believe that it has now been replaced with a new building.” |
