Notes from Memories of a Country Girlhood - Ellen Smith © :-

* 'My Father, Thomas Warner Wootton, was a master builder. Following in his fathers footsteps, he built houses for over fifty years in Wymewold and other places. He was a man of a great sense of humour and a great tease to his family. My Mother was the most wonderful women i have known and the older i get, that opinion grows stronger. Her maiden name was Mary Hardy. My parents spent fifty extremely happy years together, having seven children, three boys and four girls.

 

We (Nell & Parents) lived in a three storey house in Clay Street.  It had no bathroom and the closet was twenty yards up the garden. It had a large garden which we grew our vegetables and soft fruits. At the side of the garden was the builders yard.' *

 

Bill Wootton (Thomas's Son) remembers living in the large white house next the the Village Hall currently occupied by the Beggs familly, he remembers moving to the house on the corner of Hoton Road and Clay Street when he was young, this is currently occupied by Russell Hubbard and his family.

 Notes from:- Many fingers In The Pie - Ellen Smith ©

 

* All my Mothers life she had rather a large goitre in her neck. She had been told this would kill her and she should have an operation to remove it, which of course she refused to do. In the end, when she was eighty-six, the goitre collapsed on to the vein leading to the heart causing  an abnormally slow heartbeat. A Specialist, who came to examine her said he could operate but there was only twenty per-cent chance of recovery. Mother refused the operation saying "Please let me die in my own bed". Mother lived a few weeks with this slow heartbeat, then passed away.*
