Evacuees
I was evacuated to Evenlode as a small child, I lived with a family in a small cottage opposite the school, I would be interested to make contact with anyone with a similar history or of knowledge of the area at that time. I am not sure of the year, I was quite young. Frank Piner
Looking For Information
Hi, I'm currently researching the strange circles found in the farmer's field at Evenlode during June 1960 which were investigated by Stratford-upon-Avon man John Dennis Llewellyn and his wife Ruby. A Mr Coles from the 'Strores at Evenlode which I have no information on took some excellent colour photographs of the mysterious marks but then failed to let Mr Llewllyn or his companion David C Jones have them, does any one remember Mr Coles or his shop?

Where my Heart Is.
I remember living in Evenlode for nearly 5 years. Mum and Dad ran the Stores and I went to school next door. Mrs Dee was our teacher and there were around 20 of us who attended, all receiving an excellent education from her. I remember that time with a golden glow and write about it all the time. We didn't realise how happy we were, my best friend Suzy, the Wrens who I went for walks with and the church choir. I would love to share memories.
Evenlode School Pupil 1943 to 1949
I lived in Portland House, Evenlode from 1938 until 1957 and then in Portland Terrace until 1961. I remember Mrs Hoggetts at the shop. Football on the village green on a Sunday until the Fox opened at 12 o'clock. Mrs Dee was the school teacher and Mr Dee was a teacher at Burford. Mr Harry Cairns was landlord at the pub. Mrs Williams ran the post office. I played cricket and football for BDE United. We had electric in the village in 1948 and the mains water just before then. Before that we used oil lamps and the village pump. During the Second World War Mr Dippie was the air raid warden. GOOD OLD EVENLODE. John Peachey
Mr &MRS Dicks
I remember the Railway Inn, waiting for Mum & Dad with a bottle of coke and a bag of Smiths crisps outside.
The Taplin Family
Hello, my Great-Grandmother worked in Blockley silk mill. Her name was Emma Taplin, then she went on to marry a West. Her family lived in Paxford and her father worked on the Blockley railway. I only live down the road from Blockley, I found the silk mill Emma and her sister Anna Taplin worked. It felt lovely walking down the same road she went to work on. I followed their footsteps and it felt so good. By looking at the building itself made me realise how hard they had it in those days. Made me think how lucky we are today. But the history that is still around Blockley and Paxford is brill, I found names on war crosses that I had in my family tree, the whole thing as just bso wonderful I can't explain how I feel. I now know where my Great-Grandmother worked and her sister, and now I am trying to find the cottage they lived in in paxford. My Gt-Gt Grandmother came from Wolford in... Read more
History Found
My great-grandfather I found out worked on the Blockley railway line, this was a great history find for me. After thinking that he worked on the land around blockley, I found my listing wrong. But just knowing what he did back in 1800s is a great result for me and my family history file for my family. As for his wife I still am not sure what work she did, but in them days the ladies stayed home and did the child minding and house work. I found out what their children did for a living, and one of these relatives worked at the bakers in Paxford. If you search across the road from the litttle church, you will see a bakers sign on the wall says 'Bakers'. This was great to find that sign. I thank people for leaving things as they were, as so many things are removed or knocked down these days its hard to find any traces of past history today. This is such a shame,... Read more
