would you know how I could find out who may have worked there 1916-1918 at all.  Is there any record of this?

[Oliver999]

I have contacted Shropshire Libraries for information on Frankton Grange, will let you know what I find out.  My great-aunt worked there in the 1930/40's, she was Gladys Bellingham, but I don't know too much about the place.  My mother stayed there with her aunt when she was young but has not been back to Frankton since 1970.

thank you, thats very kind of you

It appears that Frankton Grange was demolished in the 1970's only the coach house and barns remain today.  I obtained this information from the Shropshire Library archive service.

Any information about the people that worked there over the years?

[Oliver999]

Hi, the only information given was that Major Robinson lived there in 1941, I have not found out about people who worked there, including my great aunt who would have been there around that time.  I think maybe the Archive Library at Shropshire could help you with that.  It was my understanding that a Doctor Lewis lived there, he was a Coroner,  but that may not be the case.
