Mr Clifford Pilcher, acting secretary of the Bugbrooke Village Preservation Society said this week that he welcomed the purchase of Bugbrooke Hall by the 'Jesus People'.

'I don't think there is any real reaction to the purchase,' he said. 'You could ask all 70 members of the Society about their views and receive different answers - depending mainly on their religious convictions.

'But I am sure that we are all pleased that we have received an assurance that the park will not be used for building development.'
