Earlier this year Helen Dawson (nee Buss) celebrated her 91st birthday. Helen first came to Bodiam from the family home at Dallington as a Land Army girl. She has put herself around and began to write poetry about local interests and social observations. I felt the poem of Bodiam was her best.

Helen has a folder of more poems and hopes they will be published one day.

So now the National Trust is to do a resident’s pass for Bodiam and Ewhurst and Staplecross parish with six passes per household.

The National Trust only with the residents of the parish to go around the castle six times a year for free.
