Bishops Waltham, the Bunch of Grapes c1955
Ref: B612018
The Grapes, St Peters Street,1871
My grandmother, Elizabeth Ann Higgs, was widowed in 1869, when her husband, John Russell Higgs, was drowned at sea. Her brother Silas Short was working at the brickyard in the town so she and her 2 children, Annie and Arthur (my father), moved to Bishops Waltham to be near him. Elizabeth ran the "Grapes" as it was then called for about 6 years before moving to Sussex.
I never knew my grandmother but I was very moved to find the lovely little pub and enjoyed having a drink there with my family.

Bishops Waltham, the Palace Ruins c1955
Ref: B612040
I own 2 pieces of oak furniture which my great grandfather made from the old ruins of the Palace. They lived in Bishops Waltham and I believe (informed by my father of 87) his family owned 2 local mills.
