Greetings, My name is Diane and I am an American who lived in the Grange on High Street in Islip in the early 60's. My father was in the USAF stationed at Alconberry. I have fond memories of Islip. I remember going to the fair in the churchyard, walking to Thrapston for fish and chips and, much to the dismay of one of the local farmers, I remember chasing some cows around a pasture. I attended a one room school in Islip with the other children from town. A few years ago, I received a letter and some photos from a very kind gentlemen, Mr. T.C. Horrel (I think this was his name). He placed a temporary web page up of the village with some wonderful pictures of the village. If anyone remembers me, please feel free to contact me.

My family owned this public house in the 19th century. Their name was Mary and John T Hull, has anyone a history of this public house? I have visited in 'modern' times and walked Thrapston's roads just to feel the place. I hope someone can help.

My ancestors lived in Thrapston from the early 1800s to 1917. They were saddle and harness makers, does anyone have any pictures of the shop? I believe it was near to the King's public house.

I lived in St James' Crescent from 1955 till 1960, (from ages 1 to 6) and went to the local primary school. I remember a lot of the names of neighbouring families.

Somewhere on the left I seem to remember a barbershop. I had my first ever haircut as a boy there, in about 1957.
