My Birthplace

A Memory of Templecombe.

My grandparents, Frank and Amy Hazzard, lived in Templecombe in Somerset.  They lived in Lilly Lane Farm and then later in Yew Tree House.    My grandfather, Frank Hazzard, was a farmer. He was blind, but was one of only three blind bellringers in the country.  He was also a very good carpenter and I can still remember visiting him in his workshop with the wonderful smell of wood shavings. I still have a box that he made for me.  My grandmother's maiden name was Foreman.  I was born Gillian Mary Owen in Templecombe Hospital on 8th November 1946.

My father was the Rector of Templecombe in the 60's and I used to go to visit your grandfather and read the paper to him sometimes. I was also a bellringer 9in my teens. I live in New Zealand now, but have fond memories of Templecombe and am still in touch with a few people. Ruth (nee Jones).
