More about this scene
This thatched cottage, now slated, was a 17th-century farmhouse, then two cottages; now it is the lodge for Combe Head House. Inside the house gates (left) are the graves of two pugs, inscribed 'always on guard'. In 1960 the lodge still had a garden privy and was inhabited by a family with nine children.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
My father and mother-in-law lived in Combe St Nicholas during the Second World War. My father-in-law taught at the local school. He then went to war and was a prisoner of war in Japan. My mother-in-law had evacuee children and was involved in village life. l have some history souvenirs of that time and would be interested to hear from anyone living in the village during the war years. Their names were Mr Ronald and Mrs Nancy Comber.
