Shared Memories of Holmwood
 Holmwood, Anstie Grange 1915 (ref: 67767A) |
Wounded World War One soldiers?
I'm pretty sure my great grandfather Hubert John Cavell, was brought here after becoming wounded in Ypres, in Belgium. He died on 22/04/1917. Does anybody have any information? I know that the Queen Alexandra nurses trained there. Posted: 15/06/2008 15:10 by Hubert Bristow |

Year: 1954
My birthplace
I was born in the master bedroom on the main floor to the existing owners of Anstie. During our 3 years there we converted it to suites and modernised it considerably. On the day that I was born there were construction workers in the house and one of them cried when he heard the sound of a newborn baby, I was told many times. My parents split in 1956 and my mother sold it and moved to Canada. She regretted the move all her life as it was a special place for her. She trimmed the yew hedge diligently and was delighted to see how it had been maintained 30 years later when she visited it. I have a few pictures of it then inside and out.
