Photo ref: 6319

I spent most of my school holidays, together with my brother Ronny, at Court Hall from July 1952 to approximately May 1955 - if my memory still serves. From those days. I have retained or rediscovered contact with just two persons: Peter Harris and Claude Camhy. I remember an Irene Condon and a lad called Paul hailing from Mauritius, I seem to remember. Also an Elisabeth and a Berenice. 😀 ...see more

Were the stables and hounds still there when you were there ..... There were two black ponies in the field one was called Jet cant remember the other one. Was so sad when I returned to Devon to find the house demolished .......

this is where my family of Prouts came from in the early 1700 s going back to Richard Prout and Leah Mole my Gr Gr Grandparents Richard Prout and Maria (Nee Tarr )are buried in the church yard along with many other family members iwas lucky enough to visit here in may 1915 thank you for the photos of the villiage etc Carol Erbacher from Australia

As my parents were abroad I was placed here during school holidays for two years. Mr and Mrs Riedel. Have so many photos and memories of all the children were there also. Rosalind, Irene, Marie Elizabeth, Peter Eder, Paul and so many others. Putting our names on the swinging tree, secret rooms, dens, up on the moors and so much more. Went back about 1979 and saw that the facade had gone. I have the W from the church weather vane. Peter Harris
