Old School
I was a pupil at the old school and remember the Coronation well. My teacher was Miss Tate and the older pupils were taught by Miss Aires. I remember the maypole and the toilets. I remember the layout of the classrooms, and the garden on higher ground at the back, from where we could scrump apples. We lived on Fossway Cresent but I can't remember the house number, at the bottom of the garden was the pub. My farther worked for the council and he was the plasterer when the houses were built around 1952. I have spoken briefly to the present owners who also schooled there. I would love to meet up with my old school friends. My skype name is mackrel basher, look forward to meeting up some time. Dave Hines
Warwickshire memories
Mini Fishing
I remember fishing here with our mini bottles. Catching minows with wine bottles with the bottom knocked out ( hard to find ). Remember once being trapped under these arches with the river rising and being surrounded by the cows that came down from the field. Very fond memories - shame kids don't get the chance these days to experience such things.
Researching my Dad
Hi, I'm trying to trace my dad's family history. He lived in Shipston on Stour and his mother was Patricia Lygo (nee Wheatcroft) and his father Charles Lygo. My dad's name was Richard Andrew Lygo born 1961. He had four brothers; Nicholas, Jonathan, Patrick, Christopher and a sister called Melanie. If anyone has any information, please could you share it. Thank you.
2 Weeks at Church Cottage
I believe it was 1974. I was invited to my friends wedding. She and her fiance had come to Canada to live and decided to go back to Whatcote to be married, and I was to be a bridesmaid. Two other friends went as well. What fabulous memories I have of those two weeks, getting to know the little town and the surrounding areas! What a country, a taste of the old world and a real delight to get to know the locals at the Royal Oak, where I was renamed 'Double Diamond Lil'. I did enjoy your beer. My favourite lunch was the Plowman's Lunch - loved it! I think a couple named Jack and Elaine were the owners then. I have their picture somewhere. My mind often goes back to that place. When I think about it, I think of the warm weather, the beautiful gardens, the unhurried way of life and the people. I recall picking flowers for the vases in the church for the wedding,... Read more
Aunty Mabel And Uncle Harold Hunt And George And Lil Hunt
Mabel and Harold Hunt were my great aunt and uncle. They lived in the row of thatched cottages in the village. I have many memories of visiting their cottage with the black lead grate that had a fire both summer and winter. That was their means of cooking and heating. They had a pony called Peter that was stabled at the other end of the village in the orchard. Harold kept and raced pigeons. Lil and George lived just down the road in another little cottage. Their sons name was Brian and daughter-in-law's name was Marcia. Does anyone remember the family? I now live in New Zealand and am starting our family tree. Mabel was my maternal grandfathers sister, origins in Shipston on Stour.
History of Goldicote
I married into the family who lived in Goldicote Farm in 1953. I have a copy of the people who occupied Goldicote house from 976 to1953. I also have several pages of its history. The notes were prepared by D.A.McDonnell in 1955.
Victorian Vicar
I've been researching my family tree and have discovered that my great grandfather John Pugh Cranstoun, was vicar of Long Compton from around 1900 until his death in 1920. I think he is buried in the parish churchyard.
