I am researching my family tree and I have managed to take one branch of my family, the Howes, back to the late 1600s. As far as I can see all the Howes in St Hilary at that time were related and I was wondering if anyone can offer any further information about this family or life in St Hilary at that time.

My grandparents Evan & Florence lived in the village in Rose Cottage which once stood in the Bush car park and after that at number 1 The Crescent. My father Stanley and his brothers John and Albert grew up in St Hilary. My sister and I visited the village regularly and consider it to be our home. My father and mother both rest in the churchyard along with my grandparents. My grandfather planted the willow which stands outside the village hall where the round tree once stood.

Hi
I used to live in St Hilary for much of my childhood life, with my parents Tony and Chris Ramsden, and my sister Stephanie living in the "New House".
I live in Estonia now(!), and saw the links that brought me to this website. Wonderful history and pictures, which definitely make me feel very emotional.
Greetings from Northern Europe!

Seymour the Elf, on the left, is the St Hilary mascot. If any children in the village would be interested in taking him on their travels let us know. He would be more than happy to accompany them! He, and his friend Angus, travel around the world with villagres and other locals. You can find out about their background and their travels by going to the Village People section of the website (click on the menu link on the left) or click on the link to go straight to their blog. |
