Memories of The Green c1950, Tintinhull
Rollerskates
Just like to say I have many happy memories of rollerskating down past the green and went to school just by the church in the photograph and remember the stocks on the green. Are they still there by the big oak tree?
Elm Tree
I remember well the village green ,the stocks and the enormous elm tree, we had to walk from school beside St Margarets church, over the green, past the tree and the stocks to the village hall where we had our lunch(ugh school dinners) do you remember Mrs Kensington? Sorry to say the tree was lost to dutch elm disease, the stocks were moved to side of the main walkway into the churchyard.
Great memories of the village I left in 2000

Happy Days!
My young years from the age of 5 to 19 were spent in Tintinhull. I had a very happy time there going to a very good school (I remember Mrs Bradbury). I used to have great fun with our village carnival which was always a great success. When I was older I belonged to the village drama group which was most enjoyable and which I was so proud to be a part of. In 1967 I came back to Tintinhull to live with my 2 children Sean and Debbie who also went to the village school and enjoyed many happy years in the village and who also took part in the carnivals. So many happy memories, too many to mention.
War Time Memories
I was evacuated to Tintinhull during the war years, and remember getting off the train at Pen Mill Station with my gas mask case, and waiting for someone to look after us. I was lucky, there was a Mr and Mrs Lye took me to their home in Montacute Road facing what used to be an allotment where Mr Lye used to garden.
I spent many years with them, a few little thing stick in my mind. Going to the glove factory to pick up the parts for Mrs Lye to sew together and then we would take them back, also on a Sunday morning the fire brigade would set up a target in the square to do their practice, and the large fish pond at Tintinhull House.
The old school where we used to go sadly burnt down years ago.
Many happy days.
I think this is what brought me back to Somerset thirty eight years ago and loving every minute.
