Shared Memories of Stoke Hammond
 Stoke Hammond, the Parish Church c1955 (ref: S566001) |
Year: 1949
My roots
I lived at the family home at the Three Locks, which was about one mile out of Stoke Hammond. Every Sunday from around five years of age, I walked to St Luke's Parish Church, Stoke Hammond to attend Sunday School. In later years I was the Sunday School teacher for a time. I was also confirmed here. Along with my brother, I joined the church choir which we were members for many years. I remember we walked to the church services very often three times every Sunday. My brother also played the organ during his late teens, and he was a member of the bell ringing team. I also learnt to ring the bells about eight years ago at this church.

 Stoke Hammond, the Three Locks c1965 (ref: S566012b) |
Year: 1944
From birth to 25yrs
I lived at the house just at the top of photo. The outbuildings can clearly be seen in the adjoining field to the family home. I spent all my childhood years playing with my brother and friends here. I used to love watching the working barges going through the locks. My grandfather kept the Three Locks (known then as The New Inn) as publican for 16yrs. (That was when the barges were horse drawn.)

my roots from birth to 50years
2008 and this shop is still here. It has changed very little in looks. It was owned by the same family Bonner from my early memory of about 1950 for many years. Today it remains a post office/shop Posted: 25/04/2008 15:41 by Stephanie Mcpherson |
