My Ancestors
My great grandfather John Robert Leaman was school master at Castle Acre school - his wife (my great grandmother) was Elizabeth Jane Leaman (nee Ellis). I have visited Castleacre recently and found the village such a beautiful, interesting idyllic place to be. If anyone knows or has any history of this time I would love to hear about them. The time my great grandfather was school master the doctor was Dr Love and the vicar Rev Bloom. I also understand the village school may be closing soon - I would love to have the opportunity to look at the school records where my great grandfather made his diary entries. My grandfather Ellis, my great aunt Jane and siblings were born in Castleacre - any news would be gratefully received.

RE: RE: My Ancestors
My parents kept the the Ship Inn and I was born there in 1941, their names were BILL AND MARTHA BENSLEY. We moved to the Spread Eagle in Swaffham 3 years later. I am wondering if there is still anyone around that remember either my parents or the pub. I would love to hear from any one with any memories.
