Evacuees
I was evacuated to Evenlode as a small child, I lived with a family in a small cottage opposite the school, I would be interested to make contact with anyone with a similar history or of knowledge of the area at that time. I am not sure of the year, I was quite young. Frank Piner
Looking For Information
Hi, I'm currently researching the strange circles found in the farmer's field at Evenlode during June 1960 which were investigated by Stratford-upon-Avon man John Dennis Llewellyn and his wife Ruby. A Mr Coles from the 'Strores at Evenlode which I have no information on took some excellent colour photographs of the mysterious marks but then failed to let Mr Llewllyn or his companion David C Jones have them, does any one remember Mr Coles or his shop?

Where my Heart Is.
I remember living in Evenlode for nearly 5 years. Mum and Dad ran the Stores and I went to school next door. Mrs Dee was our teacher and there were around 20 of us who attended, all receiving an excellent education from her. I remember that time with a golden glow and write about it all the time. We didn't realise how happy we were, my best friend Suzy, the Wrens who I went for walks with and the church choir. I would love to share memories.
Evenlode School Pupil 1943 to 1949
I lived in Portland House, Evenlode from 1938 until 1957 and then in Portland Terrace until 1961. I remember Mrs Hoggetts at the shop. Football on the village green on a Sunday until the Fox opened at 12 o'clock. Mrs Dee was the school teacher and Mr Dee was a teacher at Burford. Mr Harry Cairns was landlord at the pub. Mrs Williams ran the post office. I played cricket and football for BDE United. We had electric in the village in 1948 and the mains water just before then. Before that we used oil lamps and the village pump. During the Second World War Mr Dippie was the air raid warden. GOOD OLD EVENLODE. John Peachey
Oddington 1946 - 1959
I was born in Moreton in Marsh and lived the first 13 years of my life in Oddington.
My father was a farmer and we lived at Green Farm right in the middle of the village. We used to have the village bonfire (November 5th) in our field opposite the farm and my father used to make a large bonfire with bales of straw around the bottom and poor old tractor sump oil on it to get it going. There was always a Guy on the top.
I went to Brandons, a private primary school in the village, and wore a yellow, yes yellow !!! cap and brown blazer. Much ribbing from the other village kids.
I went to Chipping Campden Grammar School and we used to catch the train from Adlestrop station (a famous poem written about it) every school day, with about a half mile walk at both ends.
Very fond, happy memories of my time in Oddington. ... Read more

I remember the Railway Inn, waiting for Mum & Dad with a bottle of coke and a bag of Smiths crisps outside.
The Taplin Family
Hello, my Great-Grandmother worked in Blockley silk mill. Her name was Emma Taplin, then she went on to marry a West. Her family lived in Paxford and her father worked on the Blockley railway. I only live down the road from Blockley, I found the silk mill Emma and her sister Anna Taplin worked. It felt lovely walking down the same road she went to work on. I followed their footsteps and it felt so good. By looking at the building itself made me realise how hard they had it in those days. Made me think how lucky we are today. But the history that is still around Blockley and Paxford is brill, I found names on war crosses that I had in my family tree, the whole thing as just bso wonderful I can't explain how I feel. I now know where my Great-Grandmother worked and her sister, and now I am trying to find the cottage they lived in in paxford. My Gt-Gt Grandmother came from Wolford in... Read more
