More about this scene
Horndon has historical footnotes to make it both proud and ashamed. Firstly, the Shaa family, who owned land here, produced two Mayors of London. Secondly, a local farmer called Thomas Higbed was burned at the stake in 1555, on a charge of heresy. He died in his own village, probably in a field opposite the school.

Grace was her niece whom she bought up when her sister died not long after childbirth. Grace's daughter Ellen born in 1893 was my great-grandmother. Ellen moved with her husband in the mid 1920s to Wwales to ...see more
My name is Lee Struthers. I lived in Horndon back in the 1960s with my parents and sister at Alwin on Hilcrets Road, we moved to New Zealand in 1968.

I remember going to school there and going to Cubs & of course church.
