We’ve just had this email from Graham Smith asking if anyone has information on a family he used to spend holidays with:
Harry Edith Maureen and Bronwyn Soanes. Hill farm in the 1940s
A very good evening to you!
I will make this brief, at this stage but am more than happy to go into as much detail as you would like if – and ONLY if – my story is of interest to your village.
I used to spend my holidays, as a young man, at the Hill farm with your Village address but can not remember the name of the farm, although I think there was only one. Is it still there? I remember a stream ran along the bottom of the hill/mountain. My mother (who was killed in ‘44) had three sisters and one, Edith, was married to Harry whose farm it was. Harry became a regular broadcaster on the, then, Home Service radio. I have a multitude of stories of those days that I could relate and some photos.
Kind regards and thank you for taking the time and trouble to read this.
Graham Smith.
