Wrington Website: Joe Frappell's Recollections |
When Paul Frappell of Bruton filled in a page in the Visitors' Book, he mentioned his father |
Wrington: As I Remember it I was born at No. 2 Council Houses, Station Road, as it was then known, on the 29th June 1928. Having seen Tony Loach's account of his memories, I thought I, and many more of my generation could also contribute to the History of Wrington. The vicar was Reverend Hook. We joined the choir under organist Mr Thatcher [see also Trevor Wedlake's pen portrait of Mr Thatcher - Ed.]. What a choir that was! The Collins family, H J King, the Owen brothers, Fred Weir. |

Reg Millard C Marshall, myself Joe Frappell Oliver Millard. When the air raids started and Bristol became a target we had people come out to Wrington for a peaceful night. They slept in the skittle alley at the Golden Lion. Also a family moved into the rectory and that was the Clark family. I am enclosing a photograph of my family, several of them lived in Wrington. I come through Wrington occasionally. Where have the farms gone such as Cliff Marshall's, George Collins, Dick Hardwick's horses going through the village pulling loads of hay, straw and manure ? They keep on about "Organic Farming", WE GREW UP WITH IT. WE WERE VERY LUCKY. The Frappell Family about 1980, brothers and sisters |
