Village Hall Pre-School Survey
15th November 2022
The Village Hall Committee is pleased that so many village households have taken the time to
provide considered responses to the recent survey in connection with the proposal to make
alterations to the current configuration of the village hall to facilitate the establishment of a pre-
school there. 85 responses were received representing a 22.7% return. Of those 53 were in favour,
26 against and 6 that we would categorise as contradictory.
The village hall committee and the pre-school working party will be working together to progress the
proposal and will provide further updates as matters progress.

We are sad to report that Jim Holloway died peacefully on Friday 4th November 2022 aged 92.
Jim Holloway’s funeral will be held at the South Oxfordshire Crematorium and Memorial Park, Garford, Near Abingdon OX13 5PA on Monday 21st November at 3pm and afterwards at La Fontana in East Hanney, Wantage OX12 0HP.
All are welcome to attend either the service and/ or the wake and Gary Holloway asks that you contact him at either by email on grholloway88@gmail.com or on his mobile 07802 754214 so that the family knows numbers attending.
Jim was an Appleton person through-and-through, having moved to the village when he was two years of age. His father was the Magdalen College Game Keeper and the family lived at Keepers House.
After attending school at Appleton and then Royce’s in Abingdon he began a career in retail management with J Sainsbury.
In 1971 Jim, and his wife Pat, purchased the Appleton Village Shop and they became an integral part of village life until selling up and retiring in 1991.
Pat and Jim thoroughly enjoyed their retirement years spending time with their six children, twelve grandchildren and six great grandchildren. Pat predeceased Jim just as Lockdown started.
We offer our sincere condolences to the family.
