Hi, I'm trying to trace my dad's family history. He lived in Shipston on Stour and his mother was Patricia Lygo (nee Wheatcroft) and his father Charles Lygo. My dad's name was Richard Andrew Lygo born 1961. He had four brothers; Nicholas, Jonathan, Patrick, Christopher and a sister called Melanie. If anyone has any information, please could you share it. Thank you.
I remember fishing here with our mini bottles. Catching minows with wine bottles with the bottom knocked out ( hard to find ). Remember once being trapped under these arches with the river rising and being surrounded by the cows that came down from the field. Very fond memories - shame kids don't get the chance these days to experience such things.
