I believe my Great Grandparents Annie and Maurice (Frank) Coombes lived and farmed at Church Farm during the 1920s.  My father Thomas (Aubrey) Coombes used to spend most of his school holidays there as a boy. This was a very happy time in his life. Long summers helping his grandfather and being spoilt by grandmother Annie.  

When they gave up the farm, they moved a few doors down into The White House. Both are buried in the churchyard along with one of their sons who died as an infant.

Annie lived all her life in Sixpenny Handley where she was born, leaving only once to visit Salisbury for a day out!!

I am researching my family history, I understand that the Adams family in Handley are cousins of the Coombes.  Any information would be appreciated.

Does anyone remember the 'cheese making' competitions held in Handley in the 1930's and 40's.  My mother tells me a relative won the title for best cheese maker 3 years running.  Her name was Florence Lydford known as Flossie.  She was the daughter of Charlie Lydford and Florence nee Coombes Lydford.
