Norfolk memories
My Home
My name is Keith Howlett and I was born there in 1946, my father came from Filby and my mother from Norwich. My father was a master grocer and then he became the post master. My first school was Stokesby and then I went to Duncan Hall School in Scratby. We lived there until 1961 when we moved to Norwich.
Riverside
I lived at Riverside (now renamed Bureside) from 1955 - 1961. I went to the village school and clearly remember Miss Freeman. I was baptised at the church, as was my younger brother. My dad was Edward (Teddy) Land who taught in Gorleston - he used to produce posters for village events. My mum was Ethel - she was an active member of the Mother's Union. Does anyone remember them?
STOKESBY 1950 to 1965
I was born in Stokesby in 1946 and was a pupil at the village from 51 thur 58 'ish. Our Head teacher was Sybil Freeman and the Infant teacher was Mrs. Frost/Brown. At the time my nick-name was Pop.
Childhood Memories
I was born in Stokesby in 1945 and lived there until 1965 when I married and went to live in nearby Acle, I remember Head Teacher Sybil Freeman and Miss Brown, also my first day at school, I hated leaving my mum. I was married in the church in 1965. I remember Mr Bransby the Rector and also Revd Foreman. The Ferry Inn was owned by Hector Newby.
Cossey Family
My granddad was born in Stokesby and married Margaret. My mum, Annie, was born in Stokesby along with siblings Christina, Sylvie, Alex and David. Every weekend and school holidays myself and my sisters, Maureen and Margaret, would meet up with our cousins, Ernie and Christopher, David and John and Alexis and Jamie. There are so many happy memories I'd need to write a book to cover them all! However, the local shop/post office was where we would buy our fishing line and float, tie it to a stick and go fishing in the dykes! Blissful, happy and innocent childhood days! Does anyone remember the village medlar tree?
Stokesby 40's 50's 60's
I read the memories of Cossey. I remember well Maureen Perryman, and the Blatchfords and Armours. That brought back many memories of my childhood in Stokesby. I was born at Stokesby Ferry and lived there until I was about 20 years old. I now live in Toronto, Canada and have not really been back to Stokesby for some time. I am told it has changed some. The village hall has gone, where we had many wedding receptions. I remember Mr Starkings who was the shoemender and repaired boots and shoes in a wooden hut. The carpenters shop was just across the road. Mrs Palmer had the meddler tree. Have not had any since my Stokesby days. Miss Freeman taught at the Stokesby school, those really were the good old days. Whips and tops would be spun all the way to school. There would always be a soccer game on the village green. Almost everyone had to walk to... Read more
St. Edmunds or St. Ethelbert?
I am looking for a church called Heringby or St Ethelbert Church where my ancestor Hugh Atte Fenne was buried in the chancel next to his mother. He bequeathed money to rebuild the tower, roof and porch around 1474 when he died. He also founded a college and an almshouse for the poor. Could this be the same church? I have been searching for it. My e-mail is sjlatshaw@comcast.net ~Susan
