Nottinghamshire memories
Glebe Farm, Brough
Situation of Farm
Glebe Farm was situated in the centre of Brough approached along a track off the Fosse Way. About 800mt away was the very busy war time Winthorpe aerodrome.
My association with the farm was through a family relationship; Mr and Mrs L E Stephenson, uncle and aunt, together with their son. They were tenants of the property, owned I believe, by The Church of England. I regularly visited during my school holidays.
The House as I Remember it 1940-1954.
This was a house of unknown early history. It was obvious from its form that it had been extensively added to over the years.
Viewed from different aspects it looked quaint and elegant whilst other views looked utility. It was built of brick, with some natural stone, but in the late 1940's was cement rendered, a practice now known to harm the wall fabric.

Family History
My great grandmother Eliza Clarke was born at the Plough Inn Norwell in 1866.
Her father George Clarke was the landlord at the time.
Murder at Norwell
Not a memory, but I discovered my great great grandmother Mary Antcliffe was sent to prison for the murder of her stepson Joseph aged 18 months. She was accused of beating him to death. There were several neighbours mentioned in the news reports.
Mary -the wife of Joseph Keyworth
Ann -the wife of Charles Cartwright
Maria -the wife of Thomas Wright, carpenter
Mary -the wife of Robert Cawdwell publican, mother of Maria Wright.
Coddington Camp
I lived at the RAF camp at Coddington back in the late 60s early 70s. Does anyone else remember the fun we used to have at the Club discos. Or hanging around in the woods at the back, there was an old disused tennis court, but we managed to have some fun playing there in the long, long summers. The local villagers were so friendly too - I made good friends that I am still in touch with now. I went back to the Camp a couple of years ago - it is now a "posh" housing development.
My Grandad
The funeral of my grandad, Joseph Cobb, was the last one to take place at St Leonard's Church before it was demolished.
Great Grandad's Shop,
Ernest C Rick was my Great Grandmother's first husband. He owned this Gents Outfitters shop in Stodman Street, now it is Bakers Oven. I don't really have any information about him, only that he married Florence and had 2 sons. If anyone knows any more, please feel free to leave comments.
