Devon memories
Ernest & Alma Green
I was born in this house, in October 1949, Janet Ruth Green. My parents were Alma and Ernest Green. My sister Susan and brother Edward also lived there at that time. Unfortuneatly my father died in1952 and the house was sold. I believe it eventually was turned into flats.
Old School
I enjoyed my time in Tedburn during the late 80s working with Francis Cann. He was a man of the old school and a part of exeters racing history with many wins during his time as a speedway rider. He had a passion for God and motorcycles and did every thing at the double. I rode through the backlanes from dunsford on my 1938 ARIEL RED HUNTER in all weathers and look back upon those times with great affection. I lodged in Dunsford for many years with the family who used to run the A30 cafe until the new road stopped the constant flow of traffic. These are just a few of my very fond recollections.

Sandford Re-Visited
I grew up in Sandford, I lived at 2 Snows House when my name was Sandra Birch. I was one of 4 children and of course Mum and Dad were there too. We moved from Creedy Park Lodge where Dad worked for Sir Patrick Ferguson Davy but moved to Snows when Dad lost his job. It was around 1968 and I was 9 years old when I started at Sandford County Primary School and made friends with Maria Crowe and Annette Bird. The headmaster was Mr Way and his wife was the headmistress, Mrs Way. I remember some of the families that lived in the village, the Hammette family, the Whites, the Webbs, and who could forget old Charlie Perkins who had a riding stables where I spent many a happy time.
There was a little grocery shop which was owned by the Furzes and a friendly post office where I would spend my potato-picking money. Gradually we all grew up and moved away and I now live in... Read more
Happy Holidays
My memories of Sandford are many and full of love and happiness. My family, Mum, Dad, brother Jim, Uncle Lol and Aunt Alice started a lifelong love affair with Devon. We stayed with Charlie and Win Perkins (Uncle Char and Aunt Win) at Mill Farm, our family stayed there every year afterwards and continued with Mum and Dad's grandchildren going there as well as other family members. We became part of the Sandford scene with my Dad and Lol helping Aunt Win and Lil Tatlock on their hoop la stall at the Sandford Revel and me helping Uncle Char giving horse rides to the children. My first ever time on a horse was 1955. On the day we arrived Uncle Char introduced us to Ralph Tatlock, who was treated as their son. Ralph placed me in front of him on an unsaddled Argo Star, one of Char's horses. It seemed very high up to me and I was shocked when Ralph, Argo and I flew over one of the jumps Uncle Char...

Living in Middle Cottage, in The 1960s
Hi, My name is Terry Walsh and my family emigrated from Canada in 1959. My father worked for Mr Adam West, Upton Hellions and we lived in Middle Cottage which also belonged to Mr West. My sister Diane attended primary school in Sanford. Just up the road was the Downs farm. I only remember Andrew but there were two sisters whose names escape me. I went to Haywards Boys' School. Mr Luxton was the head master, my form teacher was Mr Ellis. Mr Nash taught Religious Education. People I remember are Chris Ford, Bruce Vicary, John Ozborn, Cliff Beven, and Colin Hunt. I now am back in Canada and if anyone is interested in contacting me I am at: walsh.terry1@gmail.com Thanks for this opportunity. Terry
Bond Family
I have not been to Whitestone, but my great-great-grandmother...Susannah Bond was born there in 1799. She moved to Newton St. Cyres and married Thomas Crump there. Are there any Bond's still in Whitestone who might be distant relatives ?
Farmer Seward
Samuel Seward farmed at Whitstone Cross he had 60 acres, he also had a housekeeper named Elizabeth Vincent with whom he had 13 children out of wedlock. All the children survived childhood and I wonder if there are any relatives there. He farmed until the 1880s and then retired to Nadderwater where he died in 1890. Elizabeth died at Whitstone Cross in 1869. Oh, and by the way, after Elizabeth died he decided to marry a Selina Mary Mardon Lock, who died in 1900.
