I think , some summer holidays he would take us back down there for a week or so and for us scruffy little urchins from Liverpool it was a culture shock , we used to stay with Mrs Chalk in Hawkpit cottages on the High st , this was in the 60s and apart from Mrs Chalk and her family , Bill , Gord , Tony , Pam and Barb and her wonderful husband Frank who I hero worshipped I remember lots of lovely people who always made us feel welcome , watching milking and visiting a pig farm , Badbury rings and lots of wide open spaces was mind blowing for us as kids , and I wish we could of stayed there and never went home , a beautiful village that has a special place in my heart .Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17572611597617383783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5696866354118014255.post-50151740886033655292011-03-24T18:48:43.621+00:002011-03-24T18:48:43.621+00:00very interesting site, my grandfather charles kerl...very interesting site, my grandfather charles kerley b 1876 son of martin kerley & ann singleton, married elizabeth down.i have a large kerley family tree which i can send to anyone interested.<br /><br />john kerley. <br /><br />kerleypepe@aol.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10529006392497570966noreply@blogger.com
