Hi Will,

Thank you for your email. Yes I did speak to your father. It was chance call to find out about Broomshields. It was wonderful to speak to him. He was so welcoming and kind in letting me know so much. He even offered to show me round some time.

I will search out the photos and scan them and send them to you. It will take a while. We moved in October and a lot of our stuff is still in boxes.

Send me you email address if you are happy to do that. Please feel free to keep in touch.

Kind regards Peter

Dear Wearsrider and others that have a connection to Broomshields/Broomshiels or the Greenwell family.

My Name is Peter John Maddison Greenwell my Father was John Maddison Greenwell his father Noel Maddison Greenwell

I have more recently spent time in Durham area teaching and had the urge to find out more about my "roots". My father was far more able to research and had a far greater knowledge of our family history which is very much linked to this area and in particular Broomshields as I belive it was our family home possibly for over 400 years.

I have photos of Broomshields and various pieces of family history in the form of silverware and the like that carries the family crest.

My father must have done copious notes on the history as he was invited to do a number of talks to societies and groups on the subject. Sadly since his death I can only put pieces of it together until I can find these notes. Unless I become a research expert?

If there is anyone out there who is related, has any information on the subject I would be delighted to hear from them.

I have just had a conversation with a charming and helpful man who is owner of one of the properties at Broomshileds Hall. He has kindly invited me to visit. He says the property is still very much as it looked for a long time.

Look forward to hearing from anyone.
Kind regards
PMG
