Avon memories
My Ancestry
I have wonderful memories of visting Compton Martin in the 1990s and a lunch at the Ring O' Bells. My strong interest in the village is because my grandfather Charles Stallard was born there in 1879, his father George in 1844 and his grandmother Martha Badman in 1811. My Stallard family lived at Compton Martin for many years having come from nearby Wrington. If there are any Stallards or Badmans still living in the area I would love to contact them.

Moon Family
Although I do not know West Harptree very well, my great-grandmother and great-grandfather are buried here, and there is a memorial to my grandfather William Moon in the church, he died in 1915 in India while in the army. If anyone knows about either the Moon or Bendle families I would love to hear from you.
My Memory of Going to School in The Manor House
Chew Magna, High School - this was in fact the High School for Sacred Heart High School & Preparatory School, which I attended for 3 years.
I was in my first year senior's when the high school closed, from my memory it was a close-knit family community. People seemed to respect the building which we had the priviledge to go to school in. School sports day that final year was held on the lawns in front of the Manor House and a 'cross-country' fun run was completed in the grounds up to the car park. Teachers and pupils alike joined in and it was an amazing day. Then our day to leave came and it was one of the saddest days, saying goodbye to friends, teachers and The Manor House. I am lucky that my aunt & uncle still live in the village and I have been back a few times to visit the house. The 2nd time in particular, I walked in and... Read more
Happy Memories
This photo brought back a flood of happy memories. The only school I actually liked!
I was second year senior when the school closed. Sad day. I remember the creepy tunnel down in the art room by the sink.
Wedding
I got married to my husband Paul in this beautiful St Andrew's Church at Chew Magna on Sat August 7th 1982. My maiden name was Tracey Mapstone and my dad Dennis and his parents were born in Chew Magna and I still have my nan there at the age of 98 years old and she is Mrs Mary Mapstone.
Penny Sweets!
I can remember my friend's parents owned this shop .... her name was Lynn Thomas and we used to have penny sweets for free as her parents owned the shop!
My Old School.
I went to the Sacred Heart Convent School from the age of five in 1966 until I was 16 in 1970. My name then was Tracey Mapstone and I lived in Chew Magna at that time, then later on we moved to Stanton Drew. It was a lovely school, you were taught old fashioned values and most of all you were taught respect!
