Caldecott memories
My great great grandfather lived here.
My grandfather William Keightley moved to Sheffield, Yorkshire in the 1890s.
He was born in one of these cottages, as was my great grandfather Albert Keightley. On the 1871 Census he is listed at no. 44 Cottage and on the 1881 Census he is listed at no. 31 cottage with the "White Hart" Inn as No. 32.
I would love to hear from any family members still living at Caldecott.

My life in South Luffenham
Born in November 1942 I was christened, confirmed and married in St Mary's. My father cleaned, stoked the boiler, wound the clock, and cut the grass. I in turn sang in the choir, served at the altar and rang the bells and stoked the boiler when dad was at work on night shift, a spooky experience in the dead of winter for a young lad. I married in 1966 and moved away, visiting until mum and dad moved to Oakham.

Castle hit by storm
Not 100% sure if it was 1966 or 67, but I do remember that the castle roof was covered with a tarp for quite some time after lightening hit the castle during a storm.
