Three small children play on the long village street leading up the hill to the church, lined with well-kept red-brick and timbered cottages and neat gardens, and with the Swan public house halfway along on the right.

Sparked a Memory for you?

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

I lived at Swinford with my family from 1953 to approx 1966 or '67. My father put in the pool after we had a very extensive fire on Guy Fawkes night. I loved the house, the gardens and the resident ghost who I believed to be Veronica, wife of Alfred Austin. When I was 18 we moved to Hampshire. My brother went to prep school at Friars in Great Chart. Very fond memories of Great Chart!
If I own the title 'Lord of the Manor of Swinford', how can I relate myself to the Swinford Manor? I would be pleased to get a reply or acknowledgement from you. Regards Nelson Brunton
