If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

Does anyone have any info on what ever happened to Little Oakleigh Cottages, as there was meant to be two?? I live in Oakleigh Farm House now, and also wondered if anyone has any info on Mr Charles Lake. We have photos whch I can upload later!
I lived in Higham for 2 years before moving to Canada. I had 4 children who attended a school in Vancouver BC named Charles Dickens School. After 6 years I took a trip back to the UK with my wife and kids. I went to Higham and we were kindly invited to Gashill Place where of course Charles Dickens did most of his writing. We found it quite enjoyable. Thanks for the memory, Higham. Clive Jeffrey
