Douglas Scott
I wonder if someone can let me know the name of the man featured on the statue at the crossroads outside the hotel. I do remember that one of his names was repeated and seem to remember that it was .... Montague-Douglas-Scott. Who was he? I used to pass that way on my way to and from Rugby High School on the 589 in the 1950s. Last edited: 23/06/2008 16:23 by Diana Hagan |

Almshouses
Wonder if any one can help. I've family roots in Dunchurch - Mary Shaw 1855 - 1933 and Jane Shaw 1853 - 1943 both died in the Almshouses. It has always been said that Jane died in mysterious circumstances in a fire. Does anyone have any info that relates to this? Posted: 08/02/2008 01:01 by Sue Thorp |

st peters church gates
Hi hope someone can help, there is great debate going on in dunchurch at the moment. There is no record of when the church gates were put up and we need to find out because English Heritage are trying to stop them from being removed, but the church wants to replace them for security reasons. The oldest member of the congregation (92 years) cant remeber as she was away for most of the war. I have looked at some pictures from the 1950's and they are in place at the time but cant find anything older. Hope someone can help us resolve this Thanks Louise Posted: 31/01/2008 20:37 by Louise Faill |

Year: 1880s
Markham's of Bascote A memory of Huntworth, Somerset My husbands family were from Bascote. His ancestor Edwin Markham moved there as an ag labourer in the 1870s. His wife Maria died shortly after, and he married again. He had very many children, and used to drink at the Fox and Hen pub - the landlords were witnesses at his wedding! Sadly his cottage, by the pub, has been demolished, but his children all stayed local to Bascote when they grew up; one of his sons died in the Great War, and is named on the Bascote Heath memorial.

George Goode A memory of Leamington Spa, Warwickshire George Goode who was born at Wappenbury in the 1840s was one of the builders who worked constructing this church. He was my great grandfather on my father's side of the family. His daughter was Ellen Louisa Goode who married Thomas Pratt. He was once an officer at the Reformatory at Weston under Wetherley. He later became a master baker and became baker at Moreton Morrell. Last edited: 07/04/2008 10:55 by Susan Dyke |
