Please send us in any photos you may have of Local Folk around the Village by EMAIL or via our Facebook page
This photo was sent to us by Albert George Davies formerly of Marldon, now a resident of Australia.
It was taken around 1949/50 and was a Chapel Sunday School Outing. He is hoping someone may be able to identify others in the group.
He says:” Just to explain, Granny Davies is my Mum, Granny Everett is my Gran. I’m George. Miss Parson was the Sunday School Teacher and her and Mr Curtis organised the Services at the chapel. I have numbered the ones I can remember. There are several others that look familiar but I just can’t remember who they are. My first name is Albert but most people have always called me George, saved confusion as my Dad was Albert also. Paul is my cousin down from Wales, surname Thomas. We lived next door to the Axfords lovely people, Jordains were on the other side of us and Mrs Moysey lived up the hill.”

She is Edna Hendrick , nee Brown, who trained as a nurse and worked in Reading and West London. Any recollections or correspondence would be greatly appreciated. Here is what we have so far:-
Geoffrey Brown , born 1926 at Love Lane Farm , is standing on the ground third from the right. He passed away in 1987. Do you recognise anyone else in the photo?
The family farmed in Marldon from 1885 to 1934 , before moving to Denbury where they farmed till 1947. Geoffrey and June Brown farmed at Hennock for 30 years.
Grandfather William Brown , born 1889 , My Great Grandfather James Brown born 1851 and my Great Great Grandfather William
Brown born 1824 are all buried with their partners in Marldon churchyard.
A few more interesting items. Copies of 3 paintings of Love Lane Farm and Marldon . A gift to William Brown and Dorothy Jane Jeffery Maddick on their marriage in 1923.
