Arnolds Of Rode
A Memory of Rode.
My great aunts Amy And Bet Arnold lived in Ivy house (22 High st) from 1921 to 1965 when they had a bungalow called Mayfair built on the road to St Laurence's church and the main road, . Sadly they died not long after moving there. Ivy house when I visited as a child had no electricity, they still used oil lamps. Their brother Charlie was a farmer and kept cows on fields that I think were rented. The family had originally moved to Orneage farm almost next door to Ivy house in about 1897. Amy and Bet had known the man who was one of the two that found the murdered toddler Francis Kent in 1860, although the man was quite old by the time they knew him.
