A Search For Ancestors
A Memory of Buttermere.
I’ve just visited Buttermere to look at the little church where my ancestors (Annetts and Cummins families) would have attended during the Victorian era. A quaint little church set in the valley down a bridle way. Surrounded by hills, it conjures an image of how hard life their lives would have been as many were shepherds in Buttermere. A villager we met in the churchyard explained in the Victorian era there were some 130 residents in Buttermere, but that’s now down to about 30.
