Wartime Memories

I well remember living in the village  from 1940 to 1944 being evacuated there as a 6 year old from the East End of London. I lived very close to the war memorial and attended school set up for evacuees in the cricket pavilion on the village green. My temporary parents were Mr & Mrs Bailey who looked after me very well and  their  upbringing has stood me well  during my lifetime.  One very strong memory I have is attending the church regularly and on one occasion giving a reading during the service. I recently located Mrs Bailey's grave in the church grounds and was pleased to find it but a little disappointed at the state it was in. During my time living there the church and the grounds were immaculately kept. Are there any other persons with similar memories of Warborough? I would love to read them.
