Farming - The illustrations of sugar beet lifting, ploughing by tractor, and irrigation equipment record farming practice in this area.
The 'Devil's Pit' and 'Devil's Stone' - The researches of the Map Makers included investigations of local folklore regarding the 'Devil's Pit' and 'Devil's Stone' in the field between Bartholomews Lane and Heath Road. A party of Map Makers visited the site to inspect the pit and stone - Beelzebub was not in attendance !
The smooth but unworked shape of the stone supports expert advice that the stone is probably of glacial origin. After extraction of clay from the pit had ceased, stories probably grew about it, prompted by the nearby site of St.Bartholomews Chapel - Christian houses of worship were often built on or near old pagan sites to give continuity. It is suggested that tales of a possible old pagan site coupled with the presence of the stone have become intertwined over the years and thus created a local myth.
The Wenhaston Axe - The beautifully shaped Stone Age axe, measuring almost seven inches by over three inches, was found in a Wenhaston field. A ploughman, unable to find suitable sticks which he normally used to mark his stretch, gathered stones to make a small cairn for the same purpose. He noticed that one of the stones was smooth and of regular shape. His interest aroused, he washed the mud off the stone in a puddle, saw it was something special, and retained it.
The ploughman's wife, aware of the research being carried out for the Wenhaston Map, brought the stone to the attention of the Map Makers who concluded that it is the oldest man-made object found in Wenhaston and recorded it on the map.
Footpath Walking - The parish has many footpaths and enthusiastic walkers from the village and district regularly meet to use the paths and help to keep them open, as well as enjoying the attractive countryside of this area.
Millennium Celebrations - Several events were held in Wenhaston to celebrate the Millennium. These included 'The Millennium Fast Show', presentations of 'The Millennial History of Wenhaston' by Keith Johnceline, and of The Wenhaston Map, a Festival Weekend comprising a Fun Day, Procession and Pageant, and a Party held in the Village Hall. Old Father Time appeared at the Village Hall Party to see out the old and welcome in the new millennium.
