My grandmother was in service at Cholderton House for several years from about 1929 to 1931, but left when she was 20 to get married. Her name was Ida Gladys Lever and she was from the village of Chilmark . According to my mother, she was very happy during her time at Cholderton House, and always said how nice her employers were. Could you tell me what the owners' family name was at that time ? I wonder if there is anyone still alive who would know about those times. Thank you!
My great aunt and great uncle, Dolly Phillips and Tom White (they were brother and sister, she widowed, he a batchelor) lived in the first cottage on the left of the lane in the 1970's and early 1980's and probably before this although I don't know how long for. We visited frequently when I was a child since we only lived in Salisbury, although this was always on a Sunday and so I never actually saw the shop open. I'd love to know how old these cottages are.
