Year: 1947
Calceby ... my soul mate. A memory of Calceby, Lincolnshire Calceby... I came to live here in 1947, not a country girl by birth, having lived in Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire, for the first fourteen years of my life. This hamlet was to become my home for the next three years, isolated and buried in the heart of the wolds. I came to know every part of the landscape, and walking very soon became my hobby. My interest in history became larger than life because here I was surrounded with evidence of a long forgotten past. The ruined St Andrews Church on the top of the hill was my playground, and most days I would spend my time exploring every nook and cranny, and under the turf surrounding the walls lay the inhabitants, what a wealth of stories they could have told me of the lives and deaths of this small and unobtrusive village. The Black Death was soon to come and desolate the population, leaving it ruined and abandoned. The once village now became a hamlet, and without its inhabitants the church was soon obsolete. Life did carry on but never returned to how it once had been. I only wish I could have learnt so much more of the history that surrounded Calceby while I lived there, my memories will always be with me, and I have returned a few times just to stand on the bridge and listen to the stream go by as I did as a child. I see my home is still there, and what's left of the ruins!! I have even seen a wonderful sunset once more, breathtaking in its entirety. Who could wish for more!!

Year: 1971
My Ashby Puerorum family A memory of Ashby Puerorum, Lincolnshire My Tasker and Lawies families come from the tiny village of Ashby Puerorum so I went to see the place in 1971 when I first became interested in tracing my family tree. There is a beautiful church - St Andrew's - surrounded by a lovely churchyard and I enjoyed searching among the gravestones until I found two for my family. I have not returned there since but it wqold be interesting to see as I planted some dafodills on the graves back in 1971. I wonder if they are still there!

Year: 1860s
school house A memory of Maltby Le Marsh, Lincolnshire I have been to visit the old school house in Maltby le Marsh which was a charity school, run by Cornelius Binks. He was my Great great great grandfather. I know somewhere out there there is a photograph of him with his wife and the children at the school, I would be very interested if anyone has a copy of this as I only have a photocopy kindly given to me by the present owner.

 Huttoft, the Rose Bowl Cafe c1960 (ref: H479304) |
Mynah Bird? A memory of Huttoft, Lincolnshire I recall many visits to the Rose Bowl Cafe as a small child in the 1960s. We used to walk from Anderby Creek where we used to spend summer holidays. There used to be a Mynah Bird I think. Last edited: 07/07/2008 14:32 by Philippa Mccray |

Grandfather A memory of Hogsthorpe, Lincolnshire I remember going to Hogsthorpe to see some family member. They had the butchers shop. My grandad was Euclid Stephenson. Born1875. Lived on the High Street, he worked as a postman,and was a member of the post office choir, who went to "the Holyland" singing.There is a carving on a house with the Stephenson name on it. Euclid married Lucy Cutts. They moved to Nottingham but returned in 1934. I would love to know if anyone knows of them. Ann Stephenson Last edited: 25/02/2008 09:16 by First Name Last Name |
