Great Bookham Station Road 1924

A Memory of Great Bookham.

In 1924 my grandparents Charles and Maud Kleboe bought The Croft, Church Road. The Croft is the house with the For Sale sign. They bought it from Mrs Procter, the widow of Dr Procter, who was famous for visiting patients by car. The 1871 census shows a Dr Steadman and family living there. The census includes a resident coachman. The stables are still there behind The Croft. I lived there in the late 1940s/early fifties.

My grandparents lived in the Croft with their 5 children, until 1929 . I have been told that the house was kept for the doctor so the village could be sure of having a doctor . Sadly my grandfather died very young leaving 5 children under 16. The family then moved to Lower Road where I grew up!
