Happy Memories of Little Comberton
My grandmother lived in Little Comberton, I used to visit her when we lived in Clevedon. When I was 11 in 1967 I spent 6 months with my Ggrandmother before my parents, my brother and myself emigrated to Australia. Even though I was away from my mum and dad I had some happy memories of my time there, I loved the country and all that went with it. I was horse crazy and used to save all my money to go riding at a local horse riding school that from my memory was not far from the old Post Office. I have a photo of me on my favourite horse, Polo was his name, and I still have one of his shoes that was given to me for a keepsake. I went to school for those six months in Pershore. It was in winter time and I can remember waiting for the bus and it was dark. I can remember there was a farmer that used to drive his sheep down... Read more
My Dingley Family
My mother who is 93 this year and very much alive and kicking is descended from the Cropthorne Dingleys. She spent much of her early childhood and teenage years before ww2 with her family in Cropthorne. She has such vivid memories of the area and even remembers many names of the local people. If anyone knows how her anecdotal history might somehow be archived, please do let me know.

Morris Family Millers
My ancestors were millers in this area and one of my gt gt uncles was living at Cropthorne Mill on the 1881 census, his father, my gt gt grandfather, was at Northway Mill in Ashchurch. It's lovely to see what these places were like.
Hampton Ferry, Memories
First placed here by the monks of Evesham Abbey in the thirteenth century to enable them to tend the vineyard that they planted on Clarkes Hill, the original use of the cottage was a wine store. Their system of pulling the ferry rope between two stauntions to get across the river is still used to this very day, in spite of mechanical devices being experimented with, nothing is as easy or secure as the monks original method. The Huxley family moved into the Ferry house in 1929 and their descendants still run the Ferry.
Camping Holiday
As a young teenager with fond memories of Evesham and surrounding areas, I enjoyed with two of my male friends, camping at Weir Camping Meadow, which was located by the River Avon down in the lower part of the town.
The camping meadow could be viewed from the bridge spanning the river.
The camping equipment we had was very basic indeed, a sleeping bag 2 blankets and groundsheet plus one tent barely large enough to accommodate 3 persons, we managed to cook on a very small primer stove using metholated spirits, but the worst part of all was carrying all the equiptment from Evesham railway station, PHEW what a walk that was, but it was worth all the effort.
We spent one week there, boating on the river, my first time on a punt, we met three nice girls of our own age, which made the holiday more enjoyable as you might imagine.
The weather was very kind to us, it never rained the whole of the week, but... Read more
