I lived here
I lived at The Malt House, Claverdon in the early mid 1960s. It was owned at the time by Mr Jefferson who lived in a lovely new bungalow a little further away. I loved this house even if it was a bit unusual to live in. I went to school in Claverdon and Miss Lewthwaite was my teacher she was really nice. Does anyone else remember this place?
I don't think the Malt House has changed that much, it still looks lovely in the modern photos I have seen of it. I bet the floors still slope upstairs.
In the barn at the end it had a "Copper" where my mum boiled the whites on washing ...read more here

Extracts From Claverdon & Warwickshire books
Claverdon is a
large village which
saw considerable
expansion in
the 1970s and is
mostly inhabited
by commuters. It
is believed that the
medieval village
was enclosed
within a deer park
in 1300, but the
only clue to that
nowadays is the
name of Park Farm,
near the church.
An extract from from"Warwickshire Revisited Photographic Memories".
Dedicated to St Michael and All Angels, the church contains monuments to the Galton family
of Edstone Hall. Sir Francis Galton FRS (1822-1911) was the man who discovered that each
individual has unique fingerprints. There are also some early monuments to the Spencer family,
ancestors of the late Diana, Princess of Wales.

An extract from from"Leamington Spa Town and City Memories".
Mrs Hitchman, widow of Dr
Hitchman, donated the site for this
church together with a large sum of
money. St Mary’s was built between
1877 and 1878 by John Cundall in
brick with a prominent steeple. The
interior is brick-lined. The tower
was a mere 75 feet high and has
been cemented over. In 1875 the old
three-decker pulpit was removed and
the font re-located. The horse and
carriage gives a tranquil atmosphere
on a road which now leads to an
industrial estate.

The River Leam and All Saints’ Church
from the suspension bridge. On the left, the
high walls at the rear of the gardens give an
indication of the flood problems associated
with living on a river.
