Workman family

My grandmother was born in Bishampton 1891, Maggie Elizabeth Workman, daughter to Honeybourn and Emma Spires. Her aunt Sarah Spires donated a large sum of money to the church, there is a plaque to say.
Honeybourn's father was George Workman, he married Margaret Standley. Does anyone have information? I would appreciate any information, photos etc.

Via Pershore

Our grandparents live in Chipping Campden. When we lived in Worcester we would drive through Pershore on the way there. As a young child I used to acknowledge the little flags which were hung on string in between the buildings on either side of the high street.

Davis Family History

I have been researching the Davis family, who lived on Feckenham Square for many years. My grandfather used to tell us that he remembers going to his grandparent's house when he was a boy in the early 1900s. I have found family members living here as early as 1861, although they certainly lived in the village before then. I live in... [more]

Via Great Hampton

Our grandparents live in Chipping Campden. When we lived in Worcester we would always go through Evesham on the way to Chipping Campden.

How cleaned up the church has become since... [more]

The camping meadow could be viewed from the bridge spanning the river.
The camping equipment we had was very basic indeed,... [more]

Hampton Ferry, Memories

First placed here by the monks of Evesham Abbey in the thirteenth century to enable them to tend the vineyard that they planted on Clarkes Hill, the original use of the cottage was a wine store.  Their system of pulling the ferry rope between two stauntions to get across the river is still used to this very day, in spite of...

I remember that Jane and Amber

Our family lived in Droitwich until 1965 when we moved to Australia. My brother and I went to Rashwood School and I remember that hill. I used to play rounders on the grassed area near the vegetable patch. The school lunches I remember as pretty gross except for the deserts. Mr Pointer was the Headmaster when we left, I had just...

Teenage Years!

Mum and Dad bought The Coach House and Walled Garden when the estate was split up after Lord Doverdale died - we were there 1952 - 61. As a lad I used to help furnish the show flats in the big house by moving the furniture from one to another as they were sold! For 2/6d. I seem to... [more]
