The Grange

A Memory of Hadley.

My mother, Hilda Jenkins, came all the way from south wales to take up the position of assistant to the cook at the age of fourteen. It was very hard work with only Wednesday afternoon off and even that had to be spent at scripture union. The best job of all,however, was to take the two gun dogs ,major and colonel,for their walk across the fields and into Hadley woods. She remembers the two sons of the deaths and playing tennis of sorts. All this was during the thirties just before the war.
