Suffolk memories
Evacuation
My brother and I were evacuated to Farnham in 1939. We lived at the Vicarage with 8 other children and 2 ladies looking after us (one was our mother). We used to walk up the lane on Sundays to have lunch at a big house which was owned by 'Lady Stabb'. We ate in the servants quarters but it was very nice. I wonder if there is anyone there who would remember us evacuees. I would love to know. Thank you, Shirley Hards (nee Drew)
What Happened to The Kotarski's ?
Fond memories of Parham makes me write this, remembering the peacefulness.
Surfing the Web, here I am posting a question all the way from he USA.
It was early summer 1954 and I was a Dutch farm exchange student staying with the family Kotarski on the so called "White House farm" just outside Parham village. The farmer was of Polish decent, Genec, who had limited use of one arm, the result of a war injury. His wife Pamela and I milked the cows. They had three sons whose names I forgot. Nice people who enjoyed having me helping out with the chores and fieldwork. They also had a cleaning lady who lived in the village. She used to help out at the village store. Can't remember her name. She was very kind to me loaning me her bicycle so I could go and watch the Polo Pony Chuckas on Sunday afternoons somewhere in the area. I loved dressage and this was the closest to it. People were so nice to... Read more
Parham Church & Hall
Earlier this year, my wife and I visited St Kitts, which has a small museum; here we discovered that Thomas Warner, son of William Warner 'gentleman farmer from near Framlingham', had landed on St Kitts as the first European settler on 16th January 1628, colonising same for the English, and later the same of Antigua. With him was Thomas Jefferson whose grandson(?) became one of the earliest Presidents. Well my name is Warner and we have certainly lived in the Ipswich and Woodbridge areas 7 generations straight back to 1777. So we visited Parham Church this week, and saw the inscriptions on the tombs relating to many Warners, to John Gosnold (Mayflower settler), and to Parham Hall were of huge interest as we are trying to trace the relationship back to the said Thomas Warner (knighted by Eliz 1st). Details of photos or drawings of Parham Hall or connections, or information would be gratefully received. We have many Williams & Henrys in the direct line. Thanks! Michael... Read more
Livin' Good
During the 1960s while stationed at RAF Bentwaters I, with my family, lived at #6 Broad Road, in Wickham Market. Our landlord was Richard Upson, who with his family lived on one side of the house and we occupied the other side. Our neighbour was Police Sergeant Alan Airey who has since passed away.
My time spent in England was without doubt the happiest time of my life.
If we could only turn back time!!
Street Farm Road
We used to live in both houses as my father was the caretaker to the buildings which would have been built to the rear of the photos.
We Played in The Woods
The woods behind South Entrance were our playground. I lived at 5 South Entrance and knew every nook and cranny, and in the spring I knew where every nest was.
Names that come to mind are our neighbours Julian and Christopher Chilvers,
Doreen, Christine Mattinson (or Matteson) then David Nettleingham, Cookie, Richard Green, Colin Thomas. Our biggest secret was the old well, through the far end of the woods, and up Church HIll. It had been covered with a concrete cap, but we chipped away and made a hole, lighting paper and throwing it down to get a good look. It contained dumped wartime explosives, probably incendiaries, which we threw bricks at. I got my eyebrows badly singed when something went off and a wall of fire shot up. Its been filled in now...but did they fill in the explosives too? I suspect so, which means there are houses very nearby. Oops!
I recall vividly making bows and arrows, carrying an air-rifle, dodging Squire Long's wife in her Morris... Read more
THE WOOD AND CHURCH HILL
LIKE JOHN FISHER SAID WE PLAYED IN THE WOODS AND EXPLORED ALL THE SURROUNDING FARMLAND, SCARED OF BEING CAUGHT BY SQUIRE LONG AND LATER MISS ALDOUS. AS FOR THE OLD WELL UP CHURCH HILL, I CAN REMEMBER DROPPING ROCKS DOWN IT WHEN THERE WAS A LOUD BANG AND A FLASH WHICH MADE US DISAPPEAR QUICKLY FROM THE SCENE. I ALWAYS WONDERED WHAT IT HAD BEEN. CERTAINLY TAKES YOU BACK READING THESE MEMORIES.
