Aldermaston York Nativity Play
Under the wonderful direction of Pat Eastrop this troupe has been performing every year since 1947. It is a troupe of Aldermaston villagers supplemented by players from other local villages. They tell the story of the first Christmas based on the York Nativity text. The performances take place in the 12th century church of St Mary The Virgin.
In the 'Memories' book about Aldermaston there are stories and photographs of a previous 'Aldermaston Players' in the 1950's and 1960's. This troupe performed in the Parish Hall and were responsible for building the apron stage that was renovated by the latest group.
In the Old Pharosian's Association Newsletter of July 1995 there is an obituary for Major William Sangster Borthwick, GM, RE who lived in Baughurst near Aldermaston and was involved with the Aldermaston Players.
