Norfolk memories
St. Edmunds or St. Ethelbert?
I am looking for a church called Heringby or St Ethelbert Church where my ancestor Hugh Atte Fenne was buried in the chancel next to his mother. He bequeathed money to rebuild the tower, roof and porch around 1474 when he died. He also founded a college and an almshouse for the poor. Could this be the same church? I have been searching for it. My e-mail is sjlatshaw@comcast.net ~Susan
Happy Schoolday Memories
I have many happy memories of this school, I went there when it first opened, we were so lucky, the school had all modern equipment and really nice classrooms, and a brilliant Headmaster, Mr Phillips, he was very strict but fair, as were most of the teachers, Miss Leadbetter, Mr Flowerdew,Mr Powell, Miss Smith, Mrs Tilbrook, Mr Priest - these are the names that I can remember. I became a Prefect in my final years and loved every minute. Still have photos of school and staff and my reports together with the opening brochure that was issued. Recently revisited this place as my granddaughter is a Teaching Assistant there, she was also a pupil and the visit was very emotional as her classroom was also mine, although different seats, she sat at the front and I in the middle of the same line, how spooky is that! Mr Phillips was a lovely gentleman and always remembered everyone's name, which I thought was amazing with so many pupils. I also... Read more
My Home
My name is Keith Howlett and I was born there in 1946, my father came from Filby and my mother from Norwich. My father was a master grocer and then he became the post master. My first school was Stokesby and then I went to Duncan Hall School in Scratby. We lived there until 1961 when we moved to Norwich.
Riverside
I lived at Riverside (now renamed Bureside) from 1955 - 1961. I went to the village school and clearly remember Miss Freeman. I was baptised at the church, as was my younger brother. My dad was Edward (Teddy) Land who taught in Gorleston - he used to produce posters for village events. My mum was Ethel - she was an active member of the Mother's Union. Does anyone remember them?
STOKESBY 1950 to 1965
I was born in Stokesby in 1946 and was a pupil at the village from 51 thur 58 'ish. Our Head teacher was Sybil Freeman and the Infant teacher was Mrs. Frost/Brown. At the time my nick-name was Pop.
Childhood Memories
I was born in Stokesby in 1945 and lived there until 1965 when I married and went to live in nearby Acle, I remember Head Teacher Sybil Freeman and Miss Brown, also my first day at school, I hated leaving my mum. I was married in the church in 1965. I remember Mr Bransby the Rector and also Revd Foreman. The Ferry Inn was owned by Hector Newby.
Cossey Family
My granddad was born in Stokesby and married Margaret. My mum, Annie, was born in Stokesby along with siblings Christina, Sylvie, Alex and David. Every weekend and school holidays myself and my sisters, Maureen and Margaret, would meet up with our cousins, Ernie and Christopher, David and John and Alexis and Jamie. There are so many happy memories I'd need to write a book to cover them all! However, the local shop/post office was where we would buy our fishing line and float, tie it to a stick and go fishing in the dykes! Blissful, happy and innocent childhood days! Does anyone remember the village medlar tree?
