Barton News (Extract)
Luton News 5th November, 1942

"The village presents a somewhat naked appearance this week, a removal squad having gone round on Monday and taken all the iron railings etc.  Scheduled under the Government's scheme for requisitioning such articles for use in the munitions industry.  The two Methodist Chapels are among buildings thus denuded." (Luton News 5th November, 1942).
