My nan

I just love this photo because my gran was born here in the 1890s.  She was Elizabeth Ann Barwick (nee French) and she also, when married, lived just around the corner at Southern Wood Farm, Malmsmead.  Wonderful lady.

Memories of a four year old

My memories of Court Hall School started in 1955 when I went with my brother from our London home, at the tender age of four and five. My father was told not to visit us for 3 months and so we were left. The head was Mr. Owen Reidel, and his wife Simone, who was French. They had two children, Nicole and Anthony. I remember the school as huge and rambling, and the ground equally so. There was a kitchen garden and Mr Reidel kept bees. There were two classes, Mr. Reidel taking the older group, and another teacher the younger ones. I don't remember her name unfortunately. There can only have been at the most 20 children in the school, ...read more here

Woody Bay

I have a lot of information about Woody Bay from the 1880's to the 1980's. I lived there myself from 1968 to 1971 and had connections with the place after that.

Rather than ramble on for ages and ages, the simple answer is for me to give you my e-mail address (Mail@McIlhattons.com) and let anyone interested ask me questions direct.

Key words: Throckmorton, Bailey, Benjamin Greene-Lake, Smith, Lynton & Lynmouth Urban District Council, West, Marlowe, Woody Bay Hotel, Slattenslade, Elkie Brooks, Andrews, Kempf, Lynton & Barnstaple Railway, Law Society, Inkerman, Martinhoe, Parracombe, de Wichelhalse, folk stories, Valley of the Rocks, Lee Abbey, Hunters' Inn.

The Nulty family at Kittitoe near Parracombe

I think I was 12 years old and living in Hatch End, Middlesex, when I first noticed a lovely girl of about my own age called Alison Nulty. She moved to Parracombe as her family wanted to start a chicken farm on a beautiful old house called Kittitoe. The Nulty family invited us to go and spend a few days with them at half-term soon after they settled in Devon. I loved those few days there - we stayed up late playing pontoon in the barn by the light of an oil lamp and I was in love! Being 12 years old of course meant I didn't do anything about it although I did manage to get a photograph of her ...read more here
