Norfolk memories
The Cherry Tree Pub Plumstead
My Grandad was Alfred Faulkes who was the last landlord of the Cherry Tree pub before it closed, with his wife Rose. Does anybody have pics of Alfred? I do have one of him standing outside the pub. To hear any memories of the pub would be lovely, I'm Brian's (the youngest son) daughter. Thank you.
Fringwood Farm
I lived and worked for Lord Walpole at Fringwood Farm from 1951 to 1952 and I am lookiny for anyone who worked there at that time who remembers the Turvey family and any photos would be appreciated.
St. Agnes
I remember walking down to my first Christingle. My wife, two-year-old daughter and I experienced a wonderful service which really made all of our Christmas's. With the lovely support of the local villagers, we really felt that we settled in. Since then every year we have made it a tradition to venture down to the church and participate in the Christingle. Although, of course, we didn't make it that time when we all had dreadful colds! But every year, other than that one, we have had a wonderful Cawston Christmas! Thank you!
My Mother
My mother was in the early 1940s called Nancy Southgate, her father ran a paper round from his house. If you leave the village with the church on the left, over the bridge, the row of houses on the left, the last house was where mum was born. Mum was there when an American war plane came down, I have seen the memorial to that event, Mum said it nearly took her head off. I had many great holidays there in the summer, working on Pains Farm with her brother Michael. Her sister still lives there. Mum left in 1945 to marry my dad William John Stocker, he passed away in year 2000, Mum is still alive, now 83. Looking at photos, it has never changed, the church was where I had my first kiss as a lad.
Lenwade
I have lots of memories of Lenwade as I was born at Heath Close, my dad lived there most of his life, my mother and father were married there at the church, St Mary's I believe. My nan, aunties, uncles and cousins lived there. My dad worked at Banhams Farm from the age of 14. I still return to walk up the old line and the feeling I get is so nostalgic as I remember all the tales that I heard from my parents of the happy times, very hard times but they could laugh and that was the most important thing. We lived in a carriage for some times of our life, no running water or loo. I could go on and on, I am so pleased to find this site .
HALL of Reepham
My HALL connection from East Yorkshire to Norfolk comes from my 2 x Grandfather Robert Hall born Hackford 1847 to Thomas Hall and Dorothy Mary Ann Juby. Robert's siblings were Jeremiah 1839, Amelia Sarah Ann 1841, John 1844, George 1845 and Joseph 1849.
Jeremiah married in Cowbit, Lincs 1868 then returned to Reepham on 1871 census. Still looking for details of Amelia, John and Joseph.
George married Maryann Sarah Beckerton 4 children then Anna Eliza Fuller 17 children, lived at WORLDS END COTTAGE, Reepham.
Also Thomas's father also Thomas born Guestwick and married Mary Taylor (Felthorpe) at Guestwick 1802.
Robert was on 1861 census at Foulsham with his mother, John and Joseph.
His mother Dorothy MA (Widow) remarried 1863 to John English at Reepham. Robert married Ellen St Paul of Holme on Spalding Moor, East Yorkshire 1868, where they lived until their deaths.
Do you have any of these in your Family History, if so please contact me. intelligentwend@hotmail.com

Childhood Years From 1948-58
I first saw Barningham Hall from the back of a removals van as we pulled into the yard along side, it looked enormous then, I was 3yrs old, my father,(later known as Mac by every one) was to become Major Mott-radcliffs( later to become Sir Charles) chauffer/handyman and mum was going to help in the kitchens, the first few years we lived in the small cottage in the yard then later moved into the flat above garage and stable where we could often hear the horses stamping around in the night. The gardens were huge and I often played in them with my sister when the "Motts" were away, The kitchen garden was superb with all sorts of fruit and veg that we could pick and eat, many times I hid amongst the fruit trees with my best friend Jimmy and watched as the head gardener Jack Fuller went by but didnt see us, in one of the greenhouses there were really nice grapes where we would hide on cold...
