My Grandmother attended a Children's home from 1950 to 1953. She remembers quite a lot. She is 82 now. Her name was June Ball. There was a Matron called Miss or Mrs Ford. She was Friend's with a girl named Carol. The cook there was called Mrs Barrett. The Vicar was called Father Inon. The headmaster of the school she went to was Mr Loosley. She also said that there was a little girl called Ruth. Who was never visited in all the time she was there. She was just left there and forgotten about. My Grandmother does not have happy memories of the place. But she described the house the same. Up a hill along a short drive and the house was through a gate on the right. There was also a stream with a bridge across it on the way to school.
