Easton Royal, the Village c1955 (ref: E94017)
Year: 1955 26 EASTON ROYAL
My Greatgrand parents lived in Easton Royal all their lives, Robert & Harriett Waite.
Robert being born in 1867 was brought up by an uncle,he later met and married Harriett Frankam, and they raised 10 children in number 26 Easton Royal.
I first remember going there with my brother to stay for a week or 2 in the summer of 1955 or there abouts. What a lovely place to be! we had such fun and adventures, our gran who was looking after the widowed Harriett, used to take us for walks through the "bottom" and up to the clump. We visited Robert Waite's grave as well, put flowers down and tidy it up. there was no elecric at that time and water was drawn from a well. We had to sit and listen to the Archers every evening, but we did not mind realy. If anyone Knows of this family I would be pleased to hear from them.

Old Post Office
My Great Aunt Alice Reynolds owned this cottage and ran the Village Post Office from here, until 1971.  This explains why there is a telephone box in the garden!  

My mum and her two sisters were evacuated here in the war, then my mum and dad honeymooned in the cottage when they got married.

I stayed here sometimes when I was young, we used to stop here on our way to the west country.  

My aunty is buried in the village church.
