Memories of Nursing Home c1955, Gaywood
I Was Born at Gaywood Nusing Home in June 1940
On the night I was born at Gaywood Nursing Home, Lord Hawhaw had given a message on the radio that the Germans would be bombing Gaywood Clock, and I was put under a table in the cellar. My father was in the special branch of the Home Guard having been invalided out of the RAF where he had been a fighter pilot.

Gaywood Hall And The Old Estate
I have lived in Gaywood for 74 years attented school ín Gaywood and attented st Faiths Church Gaywood, and known many of the old families of Gaywood, I have so many memories growing up in Gaywood both in the war and peace time, we lived in Hulton Road at one time part of the large Bagge estate we played in the large field in front of the hall, the Bagge family owned most of Gaywood and the last member of the Bagge Family was very strict I can not remember him he was not in my time, but after Gaywood was developed into a large housing estate, cemetery in the field close to the gardens of the hall and crematorium errected in the woodlands, my late mother had a saying that Teddy Bagge must be turning in his grave the way his estate is now looking and he must be haunting the area,
Grandmother Lived at Gaywood Hall
My late grandmother, Sheila Clifford (Bagge) Evans, grew up at Gaywood Hall. I was very close to her and she shared many stories of growing up in this area with me. I live in the U.S., specifically Arizona, but hope to someday travel to Norfolk.
