From the Wylye Valley Life magazine, Issue No.9, Friday 7 September 1984:
On Saturday 25th August, the Heytesbury Parochial Church Council organised its first car boot sale, at Caffyn’s Forecourt, Heytesbury. It was a great success for fund-raising and everyone selling – what a way of getting rid of surplus items and making money for yourself!
The Church had its own car boot with items kindly donated by the parish as well as supplying refreshments.
In total £76.16 was raised.
It is hoped that another car boot sale will be organised for next Spring.
