If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I was born in 1951 in the first house on the right number 7 and grew up in the village. My parents were farmers and I lived at the house with them, my sister Barbara and my brother Christopher. We all went to Marton School, as did my mother. Fabulous village and a fantastic era to be a child.
I have found something that relates to the marriage of my grandparents' wedding on 16th Oct 1900. On the botton it says West Marton so I assume that they were married there in St Peter's Church. I know they had the first 2 of their 10 children there before moving to Escrick near York. But I would love to know where they lived in West Marton. Their names were Francis Edward Digweed and Violet Richardson.
