My mother was born in Hartest in what was then, the police station, in 1925. Her father was PC Alfred Edward Dewy. As a child in the 60's and 70's, I was taken to Hartest and shown the house. I loved going, and now I live near Bury St Edmunds, I would love to go again, but I cannot remember where the house was in the village. Can anyone help?
Went to Sunday School here as well... my uncle and aunt ran it at the time.
