North Yorkshire memories
Wedding Day
I was married in this church on 23rd December 1950 to Eunice Ethel Smith who lived at High Mill Cottage.
Family Memories
Relatives of my mum, she is 85 years young, originally ran the Malt Shovel Inn in Crakehall. My mum was born in 1925 so this must have been the 1920s to 1930s. I have old photos of the Malt Shovel then but can find no records of them.
My Childhood
As a child I spent many a happy summer holiday in the castle grounds. My aunt was cook at the castle and my uncle worked the land. From what I remember I think it was then owned by the Clutterbuck family. My aunt and uncle lived in the lodge just down the hill from the castle near the church. Somewear in the lake is a necklace belonging to my mum as my aunty and her used to go in the old rowing boat they had. She lost it while they were messing about. I hope to try to revisit the castle one day and take my children to see it, the lake and the old ice house if it is still there.
Family History
I am researching my family history and HANNAH WILKINSON was born at TUNSTALL in the early 1800s. Does anyone know of any information regarding the family and where in the village they lived.

Tunstall Village Circa 1949/50
My parents used to own the local post office/ grocery store which I now believe is a private house. One of my brothers took it over from my mother and I used to stay there on holiday. When my parents owned the post office, I remember we had a "nanny" to look after us by the name of Hannah Coates. She used to live in a little cottage over the brook at the rear of our property. I, no doubt, will remember more over time and I will contact one of my seven sisters to find out more. The sister I have in mind is called Jessie, and I still see her quite often. If anyone can shed any light on this period I would be very interested. My parents' names were George and Lily Brown. Thanks.
Living at Catterick Garrison in 1936/40
I was an Army 'brat. My father served with the Royal Tank Corps/Regiment after territorial service with the Green Howards. We lived on the Garrison[Cambrai Lines] in married quarters. Next door neighbours included a CSM with some sons, one of my age. 'Janker Wallahs' [defaulters] were used to assist in his garden. One of the lads asked if I liked radishes - a fruit/plant/veg that I did not know. We carefully pulled up 2 and found them delicious! A row was lifted, eaten, and then the foliage replaced. The CSM - assuming that his garden had not been watered by the assigned people - had a fit, then lifted one radish from the ground!!! We had always been trained to never lie - owned up and were given 15 minutes on the Kemmel Lines suare -'Jankers'. What our fathers did not realise was that drilling [with toy rifles] alongside the real defaulters was a great thrill!! Colonel Jerram was the Battalion C.O. - a true gentleman who ALWAYS remembered... Read more
The Old Games Room
I learned the game of snooker here as a young lad. My father was based in Catterick. I also learned to swim at the pool there.
