Moving to A Great Village
I first moved to South Petherton in the early 1990s. I fell in love with the village and the lovely folk there on a visit to Ham Hill. Quickly I move into a cottage in Yeabridge close to South Petherton, then I was offered a job in Scotland, another place I love, and six year ago after being made unemployed we moved back. We now live in Shepton Beauchamp but visit the coffee stop and Mervyns and shop in South Petherton. I still love the village and never want to leave again.
South Petherton
I grew up near South Petherton and have fond memories, i lived in South Petherton as did my parents in the 1990's. My grandfather Frank White was born in South Petherton in 1895 as was his father Amos and his grandfather Amos. Our family go back quite a few generations in South Petherton. I am researching my White family tree, and would love to hear from anyone with a connection to the Whites of South Petherton.
B. J. Saunders
My father was born in South Petherton. I think his father's name was Charlie Potts, they lived in Compton Road as far as I can remember. I used to love visiting Somerset as my uncle and aunties had farms where I could help (or hinder) my uncles on my summer holidays. One was called Ron and Doris Rowswell who had Hill Farm in Shepton and John and Marjorie Hebditch down at New Cross Farm at West Lambrook. Does anybody have any memories of my father or uncles?
South Petherton Family
I was born at Harp Road Garage, the eldest of 4 boys. I was educated at boarding schools and played cricket for South Petherton. My grandparents and great grandparents owned the original Wheatsheaf Inn opposite the Blake Hall.
My grandmother left the Wheatsheaf to live in The Little Thatch, St James Street. My father, Ernie Giles, was born in 1901 and died in 2003 at Hayes End, having lived all his life in South Petherton.
