Grandfather
A Memory of Fenny Compton.
I have no personal memory of Fenny Compton. However it was the birthplace of my grandfather, Henry Charles Draper. He was born I think in 1866 or thereabouts.
The only thing he told me about Fenny Compton was that at the age of 9 years his mother received a note from the school master that Henry need not attend school any more as he had put in sufficient attendance. My grandfather told me that this was the result of him being locked in the master's barn after school for some minor misdemeanour, from which he organised his own release by kicking a hole in the back of the barn.
