Visiting the Corner House
I visited Weobley in the late 60s as a child with my Mother to visit our Herefordshire cousins. We stayed with Mum's Great Uncle Fred (Frederick Hope) and his daughter, Mabel Hope. They lived at the Corner House and I think Mabel's brother, Rogers Hope, lived near by in Broad Street. We came from London and I remember opening a cupboard door in the house to find a staircase. Mabel kept little hens in the back garden, which I think were gleeny fowl, which were the first live chickens I ever encountered. She sent us back to London with a basket of fresh eggs. My Grandmother, Mary Hope, was born at Bearwood Farm, near Pembridge ...read more here

Research - 1700s
I am looking for information about Sarnesfield in the 1700s and about the court house. Also, as I live in Canada and do not know much about the British law system, I would need to know how the courts operated in those years. What I need to know is about the size of the town, prominent citizens, marketplace and anything else you could tell me about Sarnesfield. Or where I could obtain this information.
This is for a story I am writing and Sarnesfield is the place the characters in my story lived in the 1700s.
Thank you for any help you can give me.

Mrs Price's tuck shop
I lived at Lucton in the late 1960s and remember buying sweets from the shop.
I vaguely remember a young girl staying there who we played with in the meadow. The Buttons Sandra mentions are probably the BUFTONS.

Ye Old Tuck Shop and Mrs Price
My grandmother was Ann Elizabeth Price and lived in a beautiful house. She ran a little shop in the house and it was called YE OLD TUCK SHOPE. It is the most beautiful little village I have every seen. I remember the people around, how kind and friendly the were. The buttons and the Davies and old Fred. I remember playing in the meadow and paddling in the brook, and fetching water from the spring. I had a fabulous childhood and came over every year from Ireland with my mum and brother and sisters. I would love if someone from those times 62 - late 70's would get in touch if they have any memories.

Extracts From Pembridge & Herefordshire books
The Red Lion is the building on
the right. Like so many other local
timber buildings, it now has a
brick façade. The survival of so
many timber buildings is a
reminder that by the 17th and
18th centuries, the village’s
fortunes had declined.
An extract from from"Herefordshire Living Memories".
This view looks into the village as you would see it if you were
approaching from Kington. The building on the left is the
appropriately named Westend Cottage which was built in the
17th century.
An extract from from"Herefordshire Living Memories".
The delightful little market shelter in the foreground dates from the
16th century. Legend has it that there was once an upper floor that
was used as a lock-up for local miscreants, but this is generally thought
to be unlikely.
An extract from from"Herefordshire Living Memories".
The New Inn can be
seen in this photograph,
on the right-hand side of
the road. ‘New’ isn’t a
very accurate description
of the inn – but it was
new once, when it was
built in the early 1600s.
An extract from from"Herefordshire Living Memories".
There can’t be many village shops that can claim to have been trading for more than 200 years. The timber
building on the left can make just that claim. Known as The Olde Steppes, this shop was in business in 1777.
Prior to that time it is thought to have been a rectory, Pembridge’s church sits on the hillside just behind it.
