Shared Memories of Sixpenny Handley
 Sixpenny Handley, Church Farm c1955 (ref: S794010) |
Year: 1920s
Coombes Of Church Farm
I believe my Great Grandparents Annie and Maurice (Frank) Coombes lived and farmed at Church Farm during the 1920s. My father Thomas (Aubrey) Coombes used to spend most of his school holidays there as a boy. This was a very happy time in his life. Long summers helping his grandfather and being spoilt by grandmother Annie. When they gave up the farm, they moved a few doors down into The White House. Both are buried in the churchyard along with one of their sons who died as an infant. Annie lived all her life in Sixpenny Handley where she was born, leaving only once to visit Salisbury for a day out!! I am researching my family history, I understand that the Adams family in Handley are cousins of the Coombes. Any information would be appreciated. Last edited: 13/03/2008 14:47 by Hilary Coombes |
