Evacuation To The Country

A Memory of Worlington.

My sister Maureen and I were evacuated to Worlington Rectory, Worlington, Suffolk during World War 2. Although I was very young, we were looked after by a wonderful woman called Mrs Whitehead whose husband, I assume was the local vicar or such. I don't remember him. My recollection was towards the end of the war around late 1944/45, although my sister arrived there long before I came along, I was born in 1943. She doted on us like a mother would while we there as I do believe they had no children of their own. My sister continued writing to Mrs Whitehead long after the war ended right up into the sixties.
