David,

My Mum and Dad remember Ken Greasley, I wonder if he remembers them?. We used to own The Old White House Antiques, Fine Furnishings and Period Furnishings. John and Jennifer Dilly and children Carolyn, Richard & Claire.

I remeber the old V.C. hall, my grandad and grandma, Fred & Dorothy Gilbert (Nan was sister to Ken Geasley) were caretakers of the old village hall. Fred always locked up after a wedding or party at the hall. He was also incharge of the bingo every monday night. Unfortunatly Grandad Fred never got to see the new hall but Nan did - and she didn't like it either !!!!
But it is nice for me to see uncle Ken and others that I know on these photos.
Thank you,
Donna Blanche (nee Taylor)
