Hi Sharon & Debbie,
My family used to live at Chapel Cottage, just up the road from your grandmother’s shop. My Grandmother’s name was Louisa Brain and my uncle Bernard Brain, her son, used to run a lorry as a general haulier and coal merchant before he died.I well remember Audrey Mace and her mother’s Post Office. I am now 86 years young and have today just returned from a visit to Little Compton with my family. Afraid my wife passed away last April. I now live in Gloucester, not far away. We visited the cemetry today trying to find my grandmother’s grave but no luck. I know it was there as i saw it years ago but no luck now. Keep in touch if you wish,
Regards,
John Cole
