Jacksons And Popes

A Memory of Somerleyton.

My husband's mother came from Somerleyton, and he and I visited the village and church two or three times between 1978 and 2004. We though it a very beautiful area. The churchyard has the last resting places of quite a few of my husband's ancestors, and I believe some of them worked at Somerleyton Hall. In, I think, in the gardening area. His mother's maiden name was Florence Jackson, and her mother's maiden name was Pope.Tomorrow, I am visiting the village and Hall with the Essex Theatre and Leisure Club, and I just know that it will be a memorable day. I hope to find the village as beautiful as it is in my memory!
