Good Memories
The year was probably 1956 to 1960. I used to go to my uncle's farm with my cousin, Colin Brunt, he had 2 race horses, Lyng Gold and Misty Evening, I used to go up and ride out with him.
The Bakery Stores, Post Office
I was born in 1943, I don't remember much until school years at Burrowbridge Primary, head teacher was Mr Brazier. My father used to be 'Jack of all trades', he used to recharge the old accumulaters, run the bakery, he used to make pop, Mother ran the shop and Gran used to run the post office and telephone exchange. Me and my brothers used to bake bread, make cakes and do deliveries, and my sister helped Mum.
Pear Tree Cottage Greenway
We used to visit my grandparents on Sundays. Quite often during the Spring we would drive through the flooded levels and see boats on the water. I remember wanting desperately to go for a ride in one! It didn't happen. My Grandfather was Charles Perry who was a stonemason and Grandma's name was Laura. They had 4 children, Rose, George (known as Gordon) my Dad, Kathleen and Wilfred. It would be great if anyone remembers the family or perhaps the house?
Fivehead Parish, Somerset
My wife and I visited your lovely church in July 1982 where we discovered that our family bible was used on the pulpit every Sunday.
The Bible was donated by my ancestor, Mary Corpe in approx. 1854.
We were told Mary Corpe handed out sixpences on the front door step on her 100th birthday. We also have a stained glass window which was donated in her memory in the window of the church.
I would be interested in having family history from the back of the bible (births, deaths & marriages etc) sent to me if possible. Would somebody be able to help?
Many thanks for a wonderful visit.
Regards

Fivehead Baptist Church
One Sunday in August 1998 my husband and I were privileged to attend a Sunday morning service in the Fivehead Baptist Church. It was an emotional time to sit there and read the marble plaque on the wall for my great grand father Joshua Corpe. Joshua's son William Wescombe came to New Zealand in 1858 and since then many of his descendants have visited both the Baptist Church and St Martin's. I have researched the Corpe family very thoroughly and am happy to have contact with any members. Catherine Birch - nee Corpe
My Home
I was born in the third house along on this photo and I like to think that the child in the photo next to the telegraph pole is in fact me. My Mum and Dad had six of us children and quite often my Mother would be looking after an elderly relative as well, it beats me how we all used to fit.
I used to have this photo once upon a time I bought it from the local Post Office as a post card but I lost it years ago it's lovely to be able to get another copy.
There are twelve houses in the row now as they must have built two more in the late fifties and six more in the sixties.
With Regards
