Long hot summers, having to find things to do - one week it was making bows and arrows, then conkers, then catching newts in the pond... [more]

Wilkins of Priors Hardwick

If anyone has knowledge of the Wilkins family of Priors Hardwick who lived at Church End in the 1800s, I'd love to hear from you. My husband's ancestor Mary Wilkins was born there in 1820 and bore a daughter (Eliza) out of wedlock in 1840. The child lived with her grandparents in the village, while Mary went on to marry Michael... [more]

Douglas Scott

I wonder if someone can let me know the name of the man featured on the statue at the crossroads outside the hotel.  I do remember that one of his names was repeated and seem to remember that it was .... Montague-Douglas-Scott.  Who was he?

I used to pass that way on my way to and from Rugby High School... [more]

Almshouses

Wonder if any one can help.
I've family roots in Dunchurch - Mary Shaw 1855 - 1933 and Jane Shaw 1853 - 1943 both died in the Almshouses.
It has always been said that Jane died in mysterious circumstances in a fire.
Does anyone have any info that relates to this?

st peters church gates

Hi

hope someone can help, there is great debate going on in dunchurch at the moment. There is no record of when the church gates were put up and we need to find out because English Heritage are trying to stop them from being removed, but the church wants to replace them for security reasons. The oldest member of the... [more]

The Southam Family

My great-grandfather William Southam was born in 1829 in Catesby in Northamptonshire. He married Eliza Green, born Wormleighton, Warks. They lived in Ladbroke, Warks, in a cottage next to the School House that still exists but is now a private house. They had children: William 1857, Elizabeth 1860, Mary Matilda 1863, Albert 1870 and George 1870 (Ttwins), and Frederick 1873. Any... [more]

Markham's of Bascote

My husbands family were from Bascote. His ancestor Edwin Markham moved there as an ag labourer in the 1870s. His wife Maria died shortly after, and he married again. He had very many children, and used to drink at the Fox and Hen pub - the landlords were witnesses at his wedding! Sadly his cottage, by the pub, has... [more]

Happy Childhood

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. My mother was "in service" at a large house in the village... [more]

Leamington Spa Town and City Memories

The River Leam and All Saints' Church from the suspension bridge. On the left, the high walls at the rear of the gardens give an indication of the flood problems associated with living on a river.

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]

Rugby Town and City Memories

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]
