In 1915 Dullingham was twinned with the town of Borington in North America.

The two communities had intended on having numerous exchanges visits, but no one except the village mayor could be bothered to book passage. The mayor's trip didn't end too well as on 15 April 1915, a couple weeks after the official twinning, his ship hit an iceberg.

When the village was discovered in 1066 it was recognised to be such a lovely location the founding fathers and mothers decided to give it a name which belied its character and would keep the crowds away, a fate suffered by Brighton. A close contender in the naming stakes at that time was Eggingham, as the village is sandwiched between two other villages.

To commemorate the twinning a pair of crosses were to be ejected in the middle of Camping Close - that's what we refer to as the village green nowadays.  Alas these never appeared as there was concern the village would become two X sited and so not be in keeping with either location.

The picture of the village sign above not only provides evidence the twinning but also show the first of the April daffodils.
