A Selection of Memories from Scawby
For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our website to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was, prompted by the photographs in our archive. Here are some from Scawby
Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
My great-great-grandfather worked as a gardener and groom at Scawby Hall in the 1800s. He was John Henson. His son, also John, worked there, and also his daughter, Maud Alice. She was a parlour maid but died aged 23 in 1883, leaving a baby of 12 months. He grew up with his grandparents and also worked at the Hall in 1901. His name was Richard Frank but we do not know who his father was as he was illegitimate and therefore his birth certificate does not name the father.
My gt-uncle, Thomas Higgs was a Footman here in 1911, although how the heck he got here from Spratton, Northants, where he was born is anybody's guess! I'd love to know.
