More about this scene

This view of the northern extremity of the borough is from a meadow on the west side of the River Lim. On reaching the Old Mill, the footpath across the fields from Lyme becomes a double-hedged dirt track through a carpet of wild garlic into Uplyme village. 17th-century buildings and the wooden paddles of a mill-wheel are preserved in a thatched time-warp setting. There has been a corn mill on this site from Anglo-Saxon times, as part of a manor that belonged to Glastonbury Abbey.

I also remember two brothers Frank and Ralph I think they were from Africa. I thought the teachers were frightening at the time. I remember we were ...see more
My first school was at Uplyme. I started when I was 4 which was nearly 54 years ago now. I remember the headmaster was a Mr Denham and he lived in a house on the top of the hill opposite the Church. I remember being quite scared of him. The teacher who I also remember with great fondness was a Mrs Hurst, she was a very kind and caring lady. I also remember that at Christmas we always held the Nativity Play inside the church.
