Gatehouse.

As a child I spent many happy holidays in Denton. My Grandparents lived in the right-hand side of the gatehouse; their names were James and Jane Howell. He was a gardener at the Hall.

School Swimming Lessons

It was here that I and many of my school friends learned to swim, around about the time this photograph was taken. The water was always cold and the shape of the pool made length swimming impossible. Summer holidays were spent here too, sometimes it was so crowded little piles of clothes could be found all over the grass... [more]

Branston Hall Sanatorium

Invited to the Hall at turn of Year for a 'Cocktail-Party' as escort to a Nurse on Staff, the setting was magnificent and memorable!  Moreover, the event and hospitality could not have been bettered for the lit exterior equalled the warmth of the interior....some of the old character of the building came alive that night!
Consequent to this, I returned to... [more]

Lincolnshire Living Memoires

The village hall is on the left, and so is the school sign for the village school that stands very near to the church. The village has many attractive ironstone cottages – note the ones on the right. The very popular village pub and restaurant, the Welby Arms, is just beyond the road junction.

Here we see several more of the local ironstone cottages with their well kept and productive gardens. There is a fine crop of runner beans in one garden as well as the usual flowers. This is a lovely tranquil scene with not a car in sight - it is usually the same today. The road to the left leads to the... [more]
