Shropshire memories
Memory's of Noneley
My name is Tim Hamer, I'm 53 and live in Coventry. My family owned Manyor Farm at Noneley between 1952 and 1962 when we left for the West Country. I remember the Pitt family just down the road, Chris, Steve, and Shelia. The Birch family owned Noneley Hall Farm, Grafton Hall Farm was owned by the Lokiers and Foresters Arms Farm by the Wests. All farms have since changed hands and I don't know who owns them now. I have many happy memories of Noneley, I still have an Auntie and a cousin living in Wem, Irene Filmore and Michael Filmore.
Noneley 2010
My name is Stephen Geary and my partner, Jodie Flynn, an Australian, and I live at Noneley Hall with our 4 four children, Charles (16), Abigail (14), Teddy (22m) and Madeleine (4m). The house was the farmhouse for Noneley Hall Farm, comprising the house, farm buildings and just over 300 acres.
We moved here in August 2006, purchasing the house and the four acre field to the west, across the lane, from Mr Peter and Mrs Caroline Birch. The farm buildings were sold to Chartland, a Shrewsbury-based property development company in 2006 and were converted into 6 properties during 2007 and 2008. The 300 or so acres were sold to Griffiths, a large egg producer.
Mr Birch was the nephew of Mr Percy Birch who owned the house from at least the 1960's as referenced in Tim Hamer's Memory on Noneley. We understand a Mr Fardo (spelling?) owned the property before Mr Birch, possibly from the 1920's and... Read more
St Margaret's School, Yeaton Peverey
I was a pupil at St Margaret's School for Girls about this time, it was run by a Miss Hainselin and Mrs Scott. A most beautiful place to be, although I can't say I learnt anything but to speak well and behave like a lady! It was taken over by a Mr Chadwick and his family. Lots of stories and history. But I was rather a wild child - say no more. The beautiful house was owned by Sir Offley Wakemen who I believe died in 1991. I do wonder what has happened to the lovely building now?
A Long Time Ago
I lived in Codsall Wood between 1944 and 1952 I attended Albrighton Infants School between 1950 and 1952, I still have my school cap, the only names I can remember was the dinner lady a Mrs Orange and 2 other pupils Darryl Massey and George Carrington, I remember we used to go on nature walks and play soccer across the road, I seem to recall there was a factory with a soccer field attached and occupied by cows which meant dodging not the cows but their droppings, I used to go to school by taxi (Knotts in Albrighton) come to think of it I shared the taxi with Audrey & Margaret Parks next door neighbour in Codsall Wood and John Lewis who became a Solicitor in Bridgnorth, I remember sharing the taxi with them but not being at school, we used to play a game in the taxi, see who could remain standing when we went round corners, on one occasion I fell on John and he fell out ,...

My Grandmother
The 1901 census shows my grandmother Emma Mainwaring, then aged 14, working as a domestic servant at Kenwicks Park. Thinking that Kenwicks Park was the name of a large country house I started to search for it only to find that Kenwicks Park refers to a locality. Can anyone suggest where I can find the exact house where my grandmother worked?
I am desperate to take a photo of the property to add to my family history.
Shelton House
I was working at Shelton House during 1962 when it was Dr Barnados. Last week I went back for the first time since leaving the area to look for it and cannot find it. Does anyone know what happened to it?
Tedsmore Hall
My father came from Tedsmore Hall. He was Roger Mainwaring Crees and Mainwaring is a family name. He is deceased now, but I do have a photograph of the old house. I intend to journey into Wales next week and will go and see that place although it looks as if the house has been demolished as I cannot find any reference to it. I have a couple of books written by the Rev. Thomas Bulkeley Owen, my ancestor. I do have other photographs and family history but have only just begun to unravel it all. Victoria Crees.
