Does anyone remember the Bruce family who lived at Dickers Farm during the war? ..... Marcus, Connie, Christine and Heather. Marcus Bruce, worked at Moundsmere Manor and Connie was headmistress at the local school.
My great grandfather Alfred Lyne Bradby was born at Manor Farm in 1845 and in the census of 1871 was single and had a housekeeper living there by the name of Margaret Dow. His father, Anthony Bradby and wife Elizabeth were living at Moundsmere farm Has anybody any information about the farms and owners or tenants at this time, please? I hope to visit the village at the end of October 2012.
Yes, Susan and Margaret both lived in Stenbury Drive all their lives. Susan passed away about 3 years ago and sadly Margaret died in January. She is sorely missed by all in the village.
We lived in a thatched cottage just out of the village, there was a farm nearby where my dad worked. I used to go to St Mary's Church on Sundays. I attended Perins School. I had a friend who lived on the housing estate in the village, her name was Susan Dickins or Dickinson, she had a older sister Margaret. After all these years does anyone remember her?
