I was born in Chagford in 1940 at Moorlands Hotel which my Grandfather owned. I do visit from time to time but am rather a long way away in Australia. I have many memories of Chagford and Dartmoor and even now I often tell my Wife about things that happened in the years that I lived there.

I used to spend my summer holidays with an aunt and uncle at corner cottage in the 1960's. They were Margaret and Claude (Ginger) Cousins. As I grew up I lost touch with them I now live in Tiverton and visited Chagford I managed to find a headstone for them in Chagford church. Does anyone remember them. My auntie used to be a housekeeper for Sir Frank Whittle. I would love to hear from anyone who remembers them as I have very fond memories.
