Where is/was SPRING HILL Chipping Campden? COMPLETED

[suecee]

Hi Arranroots

I have contacted the CADHAS who have been very helpful but no-one has heard of Dingle Lodge. They have given me the name of the current occupant of Spring Hill House and I have written to him to see if he can help me.

Spring Hill House isn't on Fish Hill it is just southeast of Seven Wells and closer to Snowshill. I can't see a Spring Hill Farm on my map.

The Polish camp was not in the immediate area of Spring Hill House but a bit further north near Cross Hands and it moved to Northwick Park in about 1951. I am not sure whether the two lodges are part of the same estate as Spring Hill appears in the Broadway district for all censuses and my Dingle Lodge is in district 2 Chipping Campden and the other lodge in district 7 Blockley. It has been too well carved up to tell what belongs where.

I'll keep you posted.

Sue

It's not easy, is it?

Hi Arranroots

I have been in contact with the current owner of Spring Hill House and he has confirmed that the house I had identified from the satellite map is Dingle Lodge although it has been known as Keepers Lodge for at least the last 50 years.
He has also said that he would be delighted for me to visit at any time to see the lodge - so a great result! I think though that I will wait for better weather in the spring to visit the area.

That's fantastic, Sue! 

Don't go next week unless you have your snow gear on!

Let us know how you get on.

Kind regards, Arranroots

I have a couple of photographs of Dingle Lodge, Spring Hill which looks like a lodge at the entrance to some larger house.
I know that  John & Priscilla Miles (my 2xgt-grandparents) were living in Dingle Lodge, Chipping Campden in the 1901 census.
The enumerator's notes for district 2 of Chipping Campden actually lists "Dingle Lodge (new)" but I have been unable to find any other reference to either Dingle Lodge or Spring Hill in Chipping Campden.

Does anyone know the whereabouts of Spring Hill?

If you want to know anything about Spring Hill Farm or Dingle Lodge contact the Blockley Heritage Society at
www.blockley-heritage-soc.co.uk
They will be able to fill you in on the above. The "farm" was part of the Northwick estate formerly owned by Captain Edward Spencer Churchill 1st cousin of Sir Winston.

My researcher page where you will also find almost all of Blockley's parish registers along with census from 1841-1901 is www.allthecotswolds.com  I run Blockley's parish council web site from the West Coast of Canada

Arranroots mentions on this chat the site for the old Polish refuge camp that was at Northwick, my cousin in Blockley was a reporter for the Evesham Journal covering a lot for them, also became a member of Blockley council for over 30 years and still after over 25 years a tour guide at Snowshill Manor

Hi Thanks

I am currently working with a cousin in Blockley, my tree on Genes Reunited and the parish registers to link all families of Blockley by marriage, with those resources I have the tree up to 12,800 and counting

Hi Panthers1
 
Thank you for the suggestions, I will certainly pursue the Blockley Heritage Soc. I have already made good use of your Cotswolds site, particularly in the days before the 1841 and 1851 censuses came online. The Blockley 1827 census was an extra bonus.
The parish records have also been very useful for my Webb family of Blockley and Barnet family of Chipping Campden. When I returned to the site to try and find out more about Dingle Lodge I discovered interesting items that you must have added more recently.

Keep up the good work it is much appreciated. 


I have now found out from birth and death certificates found when clearing out her home that my grandmother's younger brother was born at Dingle Lodge in 1900 and died there age 3 days. No-one in the family knew anything about him other than there had been an infant son who had not survived but as the rest of the family were born in London or Sussex I had searched fruitlessly in the wrong place.
That knowledge has now made Dingle Lodge more than just a name.

Thanks all
Regards
Suecee
