Mason family
My great great grandfather, Fred Mason was born in Outwell, Norfolk around 1859, he had a brother, john Thomas. It is believed that the family ran/owned a laundrette business. In 1880 he married Jane Ann Yates from Rostherne Village, Altrincham, cheshire. Why he and his brother moved to cheshire is unknown. still looking for any information.

Grandmother lived at Gaywood Hall
My late grandmother, Sheila Clifford (Bagge) Evans, grew up at Gaywood Hall. I was very close to her and she shared many stories of growing up in this area with me. I live in the U.S., specifically Arizona, but hope to someday travel to Norfolk.

Extracts From Denver & Norfolk books
This is one of the largest keeps in the country, richly decorated inside with a well-preserved medieval kitchen.
The castle is built on a massive defensive earthwork, giving unrivalled views across the land and out to sea.

This entrance lodge to
the house and gardens
was private until the
area was opened to the
public for the first time
in 1908. All moneys
from admission charges
go to a huge list of
charities, and garden
produce is given to
local hospitals.

The owners of Gayton Flour Mill built all these properties to house their workers.
The mill had a bakery supplying bread for the whole village, which was displayed in
baskets and delivered by horse and cart. Depending on the strength of the wind,
the employees were called out day or night to work the mill.

This narrow gateway, constructed of cobbled flint and brickwork, was built in the 13th century to defend the
northern entrance of this well-preserved town, which was also fortified by earthworks connected to
the west side of the castle. The shop premises and house on the left-hand side of the picture have been
demolished. The cottages on the right-hand side are constructed from building materials taken from the castle
ruins, as is the case with many other properties in the town.

In the grounds of Greyfriars are the Bank Lane arches. Previously, this part of Greyfriars had been used to house
cattle and other farm animals awaiting market. The 14th-century arches were re-sited from Bank Lane near Ferry
Street, an area demolished in 1910.
