Happy Memories of Ian and Daphne Woodcock
Following on from Ian’s article re-published last month, Ian and Daphne and their family went on to live at Shute Farm and run Rye Hill Farm too, until Ian’s retirement. They then moved, but not far, to the last house within the Parish boundaries. Regulars at Longbridge Church, Ian took on mowing the Churchyard. Small chocolate eggs overlooked in the Easter egg hunt were thoroughly enjoyed by the mower. Ian never lost his sense of humour! I have such happy memories of them both, always kind and loving with family at the centre of their lives. A little known fact about Ian: he was an accomplished embroiderer, the back as neat as the front of course. He and Daphne made kneelers for their pew: a pair of Woodcocks facing each other.
