St. George’s School, at Woodcock Road, Warminster, held their annual Harvest Festival, this morning at 10.00 a.m. The staff and children invited local residents to join them. As usual, the children, after the event delivered the harvest produce to neighbouring residents, particularly the senior citizens in the bungalows at St. George’s Close.
Harvest produce delivered by the children of St. George’s School, Warminster, to a bungalow at St. George’s Close. The produce included a cabbage, a parsnip, carrots, onions, potatoes, apples, oranges, plums, a box of bran flakes, pasta, noodles, pea and mint risotto, tinned raspberries, sardines and country vegetable soup.

Some of the children are in school uniform, some are wearing biblical costumes. Among the schoolchildren pictured are:

Wilfred Middlebrook, in The Changing Face Of Warminster, first written in 1960, updated in 1971, noted:
The Catholic Church of St. George, a modern red-brick building with a stone statue of England’s patron saint above the doorway, was built in 1922. A priest used to travel from Frome to administer to this new church, but as time went on there were increasing signs that Warminster was to become a military town. In 1938, when the Tank Barracks were being constructed, this little Catholic Church was also enlarged and a priest’s residence added.
Mention of this Catholic Church brings us to another big change in the face of Warminster, where Boreham Farm has been demolished at Boreham Crossroads, and a vast level playing field created there. At the Woodcock Road corner of this field is the newly-erected Catholic School, the first of its kind in Warminster.
