Village Carnival Queen
Hello, I have many happy memories of Quarnford, born and bred there till my marrage in 1973. Born at New Lodge, Quarnford. Although we got a lot of low cloud and bad weather, I enjoyed my life living there, as a child I loved walking down to Three Shire's Head. Picking bilberries was another highlight. Also haymaking time.
