2 Rugby Road, Lilbourne
This was the first house my husband and I bought together - we got married in it, and had our first daughter there. We stayed until 2002 - a gorgeous cottage, which we sadly outgrew.

My Family
I have traced my family back to Yelvertoft in the mid 1700's. My family name is York and we are descendants of Thomas York who married Elizabeth Perkins in the late 1700's in Yelvertoft.
If you can help me go further back or are related in any way please contact me.

1941
I was born at Bragborough Hall in 1941 when it was used as a maternity home for mothers from London. My mother came from one of the nearby villages. If anyone has any memories of the hall I would love to know.
Bragborough Hall
If any one has memories from parents about Bragborough Hall as a nursing home during the last war myself and many others who were Bragborough babies would love to hear from you.

POEM FROM RAILWAY BOOK
Reading a book about the old railway line that went through Braunston station and came upon this poem.
Its autumn time in Braunston
And now the forager swears
The cattle rise and listen
In the valleys far and near
And blush at what they hear.
written by
Hugh Kingsmill 1889-1949
