Notes made 7 Oct 1986

Birdie and I visited Purleigh, Latchingdon and Hales Farm. Hales Farm is in the parish of Purleigh. The children were christened at Purleigh but not when young. The family attended church in Latchingdon - they walked there. Their house was equidistant from the 2 churches. When Reg became ill with rheumatic fever when he was about 20 in 1920 he had to rest a lot and the vicar of Purleigh visited every week. The family were impressed and started going to Purleigh church.

Birdie remembered the day her father died. He'd gone back to work in London after being at home for a year with angina. He used to be driven by the coachman to the station at Purleigh. He came home early that day. Birdie had washed her hair and rushed out to meet him. He was grey, was carried upstairs and died that night. In the war (1914?) he's gone for a medical check. He was very surprised and shocked to be told he'd got a bad heart and was classified C3.

Ivy House was rented from the Sloughgroves originally. When Mr Sloughgrove died in 1917 they had to decide whether to buy the farmland or to move. They had made a garden and enlarged the house. SHG was still alive and FFE had expectations that when she died the family would get money from Digory's property at Fforestfach so they bought the land with a mortgage. It was called Hales Farm and was 122 acres. It came with 25 men and 22 horses. Two maids lived in when the children were young. One got them up and they didn't come downstairs until their father had left at 8 am. They went to school at Miss Heap's (down the road) (Have photo- may be Tenelba).

Gordon Lance lived with his parents and 2 sisters in Maldon. His parents and sisters moved to London and he went to live with the Euren's to finish his schooling at Maldon Grammar School.

From Obituary FFE held the following Foreign Orders Dutch: Order of Prince Orange of Nassau returned by AME as it was due back on his death. Serbian: Order of the Serbian Red Cross and Order of St Sava, 5th Class Belgian: Chevalier of the Order of Leopold.
