I remember Feckenham Square when I was young and into my early teens. Both my grandparents, Vera and Jack Parker, are buried at Feckenham Church. My grandad was born in the parish and so buried in the parish. I live in Australia and visit the church when I visit my parents, who live in Headless Cross. My grandad and I would go to the square to watch the cricket and he said when he passed on, he would be buried in the church grounds so he could still listen to them playing.

I have been researching the Davis family, who lived on Feckenham Square for many years. My grandfather used to tell us that he remembers going to his grandparent's house when he was a boy in the early 1900s. I have found family members living here as early as 1861, although they certainly lived in the village before then. I live in Australia, and I would dearly love to see these places one day.
