Warwickshire memories
George Goode
George Goode who was born at Wappenbury in the 1840s was one of the builders who worked constructing this church. He was my great grandfather on my father's side of the family. His daughter was Ellen Louisa Goode who married Thomas Pratt. He was once an officer at the Reformatory at Weston under Wetherley. He later became a master baker and became baker at Moreton Morrell.
Aunt Tilly, Sussex Cottage, Harbury, Warks
As a child I would visit Aunt Tilly and stay during my school holidays, I remember she had a well in the garden, it was near All Saints' Church. I only remember Aunt Tilly being on her own. She was my grandfather's sister, born Mary Matilda Southam in 1863 in Ladbroke, Warks. Later she was a domestic servant in Long Ittchington Hall, then she married a William Wells, born 1871 in Harbury, his father was Edward Wells, his mother was Harriet Wells, maiden name Sheasby. They go back a long way, all from around the Harbury area. Mary (Tilly as she was known) had one child with William, named Ruth Francis Marian Wells. On my researching my family tree it seems Ruth emigrated to California. William and Aunt Tilly married in 1896. Aunt Tilly died in 1952 in Harbury.

Markham's of Bascote
My husbands family were from Bascote. His ancestor Edwin Markham moved there as an ag labourer in the 1870s. His wife Maria died shortly after, and he married again. He had very many children, and used to drink at the Fox and Hen pub - the landlords were witnesses at his wedding! Sadly his cottage, by the pub, has been demolished, but his children all stayed local to Bascote when they grew up; one of his sons died in the Great War, and is named on the Bascote Heath memorial.
Waifs And Strays Society
From approximately 1939-1945 the house was taken over by the Waifs and Strays Society becoming a home for 40 boys. They had moved from Chislehurst, Kent. The house was also used as a landmark by German bombers during their attacks on Coventry.
