Dorset memories
Weekends With The Jones
We used to vist Kim and Dave jones in Mappowder every weekend after we met them in Barbados in 1995. Great friends and good fun. Very special times.
Going to School
I well remember going to the Catholic church as between 1948 and 1954 I attended St Mary's Roman Catholic School. When I first went to the school it was the old school and in 1953 a new one was opened close to the church and we all thought it was great as we had inside toilets and everything was new. The Head mistess was Miss Read.
Marnhull
I remember Marnhull, but can't remember the Catholic church there. I think I know you, I think you knew my sister Linda Bright, now Conway.
Marnhull, Roman Catholic Church
Miss Read was my aunt (she died in 1998) and I attended both the old school and the new one. Fr. Gallagher was the parish priest. The only Pamela I can remember was Pamela Wilson. Could that be Pamela Phillips?
Small But Pretty
I grew up here, a tiny hamlet underneath Bulbarrow Hill. My grandfather and father are buried in the churchyard. My mother still lives here and is a great stalwart of this tiny community.
Farmers of Dorset
My grandfather Cecil Brown was born in 1887 at Caundle Purse on Tripp Farm. His father was Albert Brown and his mother was Emma Sheppard, they were farmers all their lives in and around Barrow Hill, Stalbridge and Trent Farm.
Polegate Farm
I stayed at Polegate Farm in Caundle Marsh as a child. I have a photo of me with a little girl and a dog, on the back is written Phyllis Cooper. I have no idea of my connection but do remember the very happy time and new experience it was as a London child. I also remember connections with Sherborne, a nice looking man named Tom who drove a very smart car and would come up to London driving a lady who I understood was the headmistress of Sherborne school. I believe Tom had a wife named Muriel. I wonder if the farm still exists and who were the Coopers and how were they connected to my family. It is all along time ago.!!
