The Dorney Parish News, in its current format (or akin) was launched in the late 1940s under the editorship of T. W. E. Roche (known as Twee).
T.W.E. Roche was a very erudite man and wrote "The Precious Blood. A History of Burnham Abbey 1266-1966" and "A Pineapple for the King", a history of the Palmer family.
He also wrote the script for the Dorney Pageant on the occasion of the opening of the new Village Hall in Dorney Reach in 1970.
