Stone Masons Of Wakerley
A Memory of Wakerley.
My ancestors, the Skinner family came from the village of Wakerley. The men were all Stone Masons. My Great Great Grandfather, Thomas left the village and moved to Thorney before making his home in New Barnet Herts. My Great Grandfather, Walter carried on the tradition of Stonemasonery with his brother, Fred Eldred, having their own business in East Barnet Road.
Considering they were Stone Masons, there are no gravestones in the churchyard in Wakereley, with the exception of Rose and Alonso Skinner who both died in the 1960's.
