Grandad Dudley
My Grandma and Grandad lived in a tied cottage in Budby, and I spent many happy times there when I was a little girl. Grandad Dudley was a cabinet maker at Thoresby Hall, and I was given a lovely little music chair by Lord Manvers, but I`m afraid I no longer have it. My Auntie Vera, who also lived in one of the tied cottages, was given some paintings by Lady Manvers, but they were just given to look after, as when Auntie died, the pictures went back to the estate. I was christened at Budby Church, and one of my lovely memories was fetching the milk in churns from the farm in the village. Happy days.
Uncle And Aunt
Uncle worked as a cabinet maker for Thoresby Estate. He and aunty lived in a tied-cottage in the village which Lady Manvers visited occasionally. I met her twice in my lifetime. Aunty baked lovely cakes and made chair covers and clothes all on a small hand sewing machine. There was an Aga in the kitchen making it so cosy and warm, with always something baking or cooking. They were very happy times but sadly came to an end with first uncle's passing, shortly followed by aunty.
