A Busy Weekend

A busy weekend for Ruth and myself, commencing with a church stewarding duty on the Saturday morning, followed by a quick lunch in the tea-room before heading off to a family history fair at Worcester Rugby Club. The "usual suspects" were present at this event and we had some very interesting chats with a number of representatives on the various stands; we also bumped into fellow steward Angela Snow and a number of other familiar faces. On Sunday morning we drove over to south Lincolnshire to Harlaxton Manor near Grantham which is only open to the public on one day in the year. It is here that a number of statuary ornaments can be found which were originally to be found at Witley Court before the 1937 fire which devastated the building. See separate article in the Pages section which will appear soon.
