A Memory of Calmore.
Stanley Fritter's memories of Lower Stoke jogged a few of my own memory chords. Val Mudge was my cousin, my father was Harry Mudge. I was born at the old cottage known as The Shant on the Grain Road on 15.09.1940, my sister Iris following on 07.06.43.
I also remember Mr. Godfrey, the headmaster of the village school as a first class teacher. Although by then at Secondary School I helped him to plant the trees in front of Windmill Cottages to celebrate the Queen's Coronation.
In 1956 I started work at the Royal Naval Armament Depot Lodge Hill and from there as a Weapons and Explosives Engineer in the RAF for 31 years, serving all over the world, including service with the Royal Australian and Royal New Zealand air forces.
Today, along with my wife Lesley I live deep in the Norfolk countryside between Kings Lynn and Swaffham.
