Old Rectory, Feltwell
I lived in the Old Rectory from the year I was born (1990) to 1993 and 1997 to 1999. It was a wonderful place to grow up, if a little spooky. We moved to Lakenheath shortly after.
Living in Feltwell
While my husband was stationed at RAF Lakenheath we moved to the Old Rectory in Feltwell. We lived there from late 1961 to May 1964. We met Mrs. Rose Nixon when our youngest daughter was born and she would come visit and help me with our two daughters. I remember the shopkeepers trying to help me make change, I really had trouble learning the British currency. I will always remember the time spent in Feltwell even though I can't remember all of the names of the people that I met. I would like to ask that if anyone in Feltwell has a recent photo of the Old Rectory to please send me a copy of it.
Norfolk memories
Outdoor Swimming Pool c1965
My dad was in the RAF and this was my first secondary school after leaving Feltwell junior school. It was the best school I ever attended. But for injury I narrowly missed getting the Victor Ludorum (sorry if spelling incorrect) the highest prize for sports. I was in the school band and played the cornet. The outdoor swimming pool was a great memory and in summer there were lots of competitions. I was good at swimming having been living in Singapore for two years. We swam nearly every day! I regret that I can't remember any names partly as a consequence of us always moving on with being in the RAF. My next school was Ixworth where things went down hill and I was very unhappy.
The Fullers of Methwold Hythe
Our Fuller family has its origins in Methwold and Methwold Hythe, back as far as records go and up until the 1930s. Many other good old Methwold names like Wortley, Dusgate, Riches, Rolfe, Royal and Simons cross into the line through marriage.

Searching For my Roots And my English Relatives
All I had was a plate to start with, and on it was the name of Stoke Ferry. When I visited my son when he was living in Cambridge I determined to go and visit the village. While there, the editor of a local paper took my information and I met the man who ran the English garage, but was unable to locate my relatives. Sadly, I had to leave. It would have meant so much to me to connect with them. Upon returning home, I began to do some genealogical research and discovered that my grandfather John English and my grandmother Dorothea Redfern had indeed, come from Stoke Ferry. I subsequently discovered a book written about Stoke Ferry and discovered a picture of my great grandfather and his 15 children. How I wish I could connect with some of my English relatives. I walked the streets of Stoke Ferry and felt something that cannot be described - accompanied by a sense... Read more
