Worcestershire memories

My grandmother, Emma Everrett was married at St. Mary's church in Hampton Lovett, to Frederick William Gately on 28th April 1931.
If anyone has any information about this I would love to hear from them.

Phillip my grandfather, who I never knew, worked in the big house as a coachman I believe and I want to see if there are any reletives still surviving who may be related to me.

Lived in Chaddesley 1950-1967
I lived in Chaddesley from about 1955 to 1967 when I left and went to America. I went to the village school and the Grange School in Stourbridge. Some of the names I remember from that time are: Jeff Stone, Dave Gold, Lawrence Rose, Rosemary Purchase and John George.
If you lived there at that time, it would be great to hear what happened over the years.
Kidderminster / The Canal
Being born and raised in Kidderminster leaves me with a lot of good memories. I moved to the USA in 1958. My Dad worked on the canal before the war and indeed during the war. As a kid I spent a lot of my time walking and playing up and down that canal. We would sometimes ask a passing barge for a ride and they would steer close to the bank and allow us to jump on board. On one or two occasions I have seen barge horses break the tow line and and run wild down the often narrow towpath. I have jumped over the fence or hedgerow to get out of the way several times. I lived near the Horsefair and would have to run over there to get one or other news agents and pick up the "Pink Un" or the "Green Un" to get the latest horse racing results, Many hours were spent at St Georges park on Radford...

MEMOIR

Ronald George Westwood 1932 - 2011. It contains a good deal of information about the history of Cedeslai / Chaddesley Corbett and the legend assoiated with the Lady Ediva. With the assistance of Mrs Ruth Flowerdew of the Chaddesley Corbett Historical Soceity and later from the Midlands Historical Society when I visited Birmingham in 1982. I am a tenth generation of Hew Westwood, born Chaddesley Corbett c. 1525, died there 3 April 1586. My right to use the arms granted on 24th November in the 44th year of the reign of Eliizabeth 1 (Guillims Heraldry 1744) was confirmed by the Earl of Rossinver King of Arms in 1987. I adopted the mottot Fortuna Audaces Adjuvat ( Fortune Favours the Bold"in 1977 and added it to my armorial bearing.
Rashwood School
I was at Rashwood School fron 1960 ish to 1967. My memory of the school was a very big entrance, we were allowed to take our roller skates to school and go from the top of the hill to the bottom, also the play bars had concrete underneath and we did acrobatics on them that would definely not be allowed today. My memory of the school is very happy. I remember one teacher had a farm, we had a fun day looking at the animals. Can you remember the milk? Solid in the winter and ugh! warm in the summer. I also remember the big open fields on the right of the school where the boys always played cricket. Sometimes I was alowed to join in as a fielder because I could catch. My uncle at one time was the headmaster, Michael Crowther. Please get in touch if you can remember these times.
