Researching Ancestors

A Memory of Hinton Charterhouse.

On Sunday 21st Feb 2010 my mother, family and I visited Hinton Charterhouse to look for information on the Wiltshire family who lived in the High Street. We found the bow window house that was a butchers shop and where they lived.
In the graveyard are the grave of Charles and Louise, my great grandfather's parents, and the 2 graves of the Foxcroft family for whom my great-grandfather worked as a groundsman.My gg's sister was a first aider in the village and I believe also a midwife. We also visited Farleigh Hungerford castle where my gg was also a groundsman.

Have you got any memories or know of any stories relating to this family please. We would love to see them posted on here to fill in a few gaps and even refresh my mother's memory.
PS. She remembers the Vigor family next door whose grave we also found.

My mother was Grace Vigar ( we lived a few doors up from Gladys ) and they were great friends. I well remember Gladys and her mother and father. She was known for her kindness, always willing to use her nursing skills to help anyone who asked.
I have many lovely memories of them all. Regards, Gillian Bishop nee Vigar.
