Tony - thank you for the kind words, it'd be my pleasure! You can email me through the Get Involved tab on the website.

Rob - Do you know we've actually met? I became friends with your son Nick this summer... and I told you about my job working with unexploded ordnance before Nick and I went for a pint.

Elaine - That's fascinating... but that is a little heart-breaking to hear that about Alfred. I hope he found some continued happiness later in life.

thanks for the article William - I am related to the Jones family so sad looks like Alfred Jones moved to Somerset with his older children from his first marriage - he had a very hard time his first wife died aged 30 !

Great article William
I can well believe that anything can happen in Charlbury
By the way would you be prepared to talk about this at a meeting of the Charlbury Society next year?
