At the end of 1894 the old parish vestry form of local government was abolished, and a parish council, with elected councillors, was established. To record the centenary Reg Auckland, a noted local historian, wrote an account of the first Parish Council meeting. The first councillors to be elected were: John Henry Smith (farmer of Evans Farm)(90 votes), Henry Alexander Taylor
(farmer at Hill and farm and former way warden)(87), William Paul (83),
Samuel Norman (grocer living in Culver Road, Bernards Heath)(82), Rev.
James Alexander Cruikshank (66), James Slimmon (farmer at
Marshalswick Farm)(74), Frederick William Bush (Civil servant
living at Dell Field, Sandridge)(83) and Harry Beasney Cox (farmer at
Pound Farm and former overseer of the poor)(63).
