The Corner House

A Memory of Lacock.

My father's cousin, Kitty Mortimer (nee Barratt) lived here with her husband Leslie, and their two daughters Andrea and Lynn - mostly throughout the '60s and '70s. I believe they rented the house from the National Trust, as I remember they had to open it to the public at least once a year. (It was a fascinating house inside, although the biggest problem was flooding in times of heavy rainfall - the house used to flood as much as waist height sometimes, and I think the insurance companies used to groan when the Mortimers phoned up yet again for new furniture, carpets, etc.!)

Mr Mortimer, was a teacher of mine at Lacock school. I was friends with Lynette, Andrea was older than me.
