 Cawston, St Agnes's Church c1965 (ref: C415012) |
Year: 1994
St. Agnes A memory of Cawston, Norfolk I remember walking down to my first Christingle. My wife, two-year-old daughter and I experienced a wonderful service which really made all of our Christmas's. With the lovely support of the local villagers, we really felt that we settled in. Since then every year we have made it a tradition to venture down to the church and participate in the Christingle. Although, of course, we didn't make it that time when we all had dreadful colds! But every year, other than that one, we have had a wonderful Cawston Christmas! Thank you!

Occupations in Great Witchingham A memory of Huntworth, Somerset I have found out that my great, great, great grandfather, William Brigham was a baker at Great Witchingham (1841 census). My other GGG grandfather, James Smith, was a miller. James Smith's son, Frederick, was the grocer/draper/flower seller (1871 census). William's grandson, Frederick, became the rate collector, coal and oil merchant by 1896. Would love to find any pictures of the area. Posted: 01/01/2008 20:17 by Julie Angell |

The Bawdeswell Plane Crash, The Willows and The Rectory. A memory of Huntworth, Somerset Although I was just a little lad I can remember seeing the smoking debris of All Saints Church after the Mosquito crashed on it. I was staying in "The Willows" which is opposite the church with my mum, my sisters, my cousins and my aunts, who were all evacuees from London. It was a miracle that the plane never hit the house. Next to the Willows was a corrugated iron building and I remember that there were a lot of cars and lorries that seemed to be stored there. I remember how dark it was in The Willows but my mum told me later that it was because there was no electricity, just oil lamps. My mum bless her is still going strong at 96 years of age. Her name is Hannah, her sisters were Nellie and Kate, perhaps somebody in Bawdeswell will remember them. My cousins who stayed in Bawdeswell were Maureen Goddard, Bryan Donaghue, Kathleen Donaghue, Patricia Donaghue and my sisters Sheila and Veronica. We also spent some time living in "The Rectory". My sister Veronica was born in The Rectory and sadly my nan died there. When my dad was on leave from the army he used to take my mum for a drink in The Bell public house. Mainly my childhood memories of Bawdeswell are very happy ones. I have made a couple of visits back there over the years and they have been very nostalgic.

Year: 1890s
Bird Family A memory of Huntworth, Somerset Hello My name is Chris Dann I am a direct decendant of Frank Gilbert Bird of Honingham, England and I am looking for decendants of his brothers and sisters. Frank had an older brother named Charles Edward Bird born in 1893, a younger brother named Cyril Victor Bird born in 1900 and a younger sister named Olive born in 1892. Olive married a Stanley Shickle and they lived in East Dereham. Frank also had a younger sister named Kathleen born in 1904, Harvey George born in 1906, Eric Perival 1908 and Melville Eve born in 1910. The family grew up at Tollgate Farm and sometime after the 1901 census the name of the farm was changed to the Grange Farm. If you are a decendant of any of these people I would like to talk to you and both get and give an update on our family history. I look forword to talking to you.

Year: 1961
1961 & 1962 A memory of Melton Constable, Norfolk The years were 61 and 62. I was the son of an American Serviceman stationed at the Air Base. My father chose to send me to the local elementary school. I was a tan kid from Florida starting the 1st grade In England! My parents would laugh as they heard my speech change and I become one of the local kids. My first grade teacher was Mrs. Hunt. I used to play at a place called "The Rec". It was a magical time in my life and the primary education I recieved there was of great advantage to me. I hope to return someday for a visit. Steven Posted: 07/06/2007 13:55 by Steven Adams |
