The only thing he told me about Fenny Compton was that at the age of 9 years his mother received a note from the school master that Henry need not attend school any... [more]

Warwickshire memories
I lived with my grandma Elizabeth (Lizzie) Bignell at No 10 Ten Cottages from 1943 to around 1948. The houses were Estate owned (and still are) and my grandad Robert Bignell worked at the manor house first as a shepherd and then in his later years as a gardener.

Leamington Spa Town and City Memories
Mrs Hitchman, widow of Dr Hitchman, donated the site for this church together with a large sum of money. St Mary's was built between 1877 and 1878 by John Cundall in brick with a prominent steeple. The interior is brick-lined. The tower was a mere 75 feet high and has been cemented over. In 1875 the old three-decker pulpit was removed and the font re-located. The horse and carriage gives a tranquil... [more]

To the west of Old Quad (above, 72159) lies Old Big School, surmounted by School House dormitories. In the shallow recess stands a pump which was used by the boys to collect their washing water until washrooms and indoor toilets were installed in 1922. The lozenge-shaped washroom windows can be seen (centre, 72159) on the south side of Old Quad. Cloisters... [more]
