Boulge Was my Home
My family owned the Boulge Hall estate at the time of your photograph. I was christened in Boulge Church in 1940.

I remember Boulge well throughout my childhood. How sad that it was demolished.
I have some faded photos of the interior and a couple of others of the outside.
Nothing else remains.
