Shared Memories of Warborough

Year: 1955
Sheila and Lily Phillips
Does anyone remember my mother and grandmother? My mother Sheila, married John Edwards and moved to Jersey in 1959. Lily lived in Warborough till her death in 1979. She lived in Gravel Walk, Warborough until approx 1973 then moved to sheltered accom until 1979. My mother died in 1977. I went to the local village school where I remember teachers called Mr Dance and Miss Kirby. My father who is still alive played cricket on the village green. He also played badminton and tennis. My gran also worked in the village shop. I also remember Mr King who had the post office. My brother Martin now lives in Spain. We were 5 and 3 when we moved to Jersey but I have many happy memories of visiting Gran in the 60s and 70s . Please contact me at lesleyperry53@hotmail.co.uk if you remember my family.

Year: 1940s
Wartime memories
I well remember living in the village from 1940 to 1944 being evacuated there as a 6 year old from the East End of London. I lived very close to the war memorial and attended school set up for evacuees in the cricket pavilion on the village green. My temporary parents were Mr & Mrs Bailey who looked after me very well and their upbringing has stood me well during my lifetime. One very strong memory I have is attending the church regularly and on one occasion giving a reading during the service. I recently located Mrs Bailey's grave in the church grounds and was pleased to find it but a little disappointed at the state it was in. During my time living there the church and the grounds were immaculately kept. Are there any other persons with similar memories of Warborough? I would love to read them.

Parish Church Cemetery
I visited Warborough had lunch in local pub looked round the church cemetery.There were quite a few 'Beislys' interred there during the 1800's. Also one name on the WW1 memorial. Are there any Beislys still living in the village or nearby.I believe one of the landlords of a pub in Shillingford was Beisly at one time? Posted: 17/12/2006 11:19 by John Beisly |
