The Rock.

A Memory of Sampford Peverell.

I was a resident of St Boniface Home, Sampford Peverell, from 1943 to 1946. Our Scout and Cubscout group used 'the Rock' (although we had a different name for it) for many of our scouting activities. The large mound to the west was ideal for semaphore practice and due to a large population of rabbits was referred to as 'Connie Warren'. Many proficiency badge tests were passed using the Rock as a base camp. Perhaps someone can recall its alternative name.

Hi, Michael.
I was there, too, at the same time as you. I still have a photo of you and me in the Gym team photo.
Perhaps you may remember it.
