I am researching my family tree. My Great Grandfather William Southam was born in Catesby Northants 1829. Last year I visited Ashby St Ledger to try and find any information on familes with Surname Noon but had no joy. I have heard some may live in nearby Staverton any information on any living person with the surnames Noon or Southam much appreciated. I would love to meet up. Patricia Birmingham
Holidays
I often stayed with my grandparents during my school holidays, spending many happy hours working alongside the men at Stan Shepherd's farm. I still visit the village and feel very much at peace when I walk round. If anyone remembers Mr. and Mrs Burbidge or has any stories I would love to know.

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.

It was great for playing hide and seek - I found one hiding place that no-one ever found. Sadly, even back then, Steel plates were soon welded over the more interesting points of access but it remained a popular attraction on every visit to the rec. Notice the railings around the roof? They are more recent. One proof of male bravado amongst the 9 to 12 year olds was jumping off the roof onto the grass below. Can you imagine that happening nowadays? I do not live in Daventry any more and I was saddened on a recent visit to see the... Read more
