The Old Vicarage North Leigh, England

  • Comment by Jane Harding Eiseman Scribner (jescrib@aol.com) on October 22, 2013

    My Grandfather, the Rev. Walter Harding was Vicar and lived in the Old Vicarage in the 1950's and 1960's. He is buried in the church, I believe. My Mother, Mary Harding Eiseman was a war bride and moved to the US after the War. As children my siblings and I visited our Grandfather (our Grandmother having died before war's end) and stayed with him in the Vicarage several times beginning in 1952-3(?) I particularly remember the wonderful gooseberries my Grandfather grew in his back garden. I also remember being allowed to ring the impressive church bell and in 1959-60 remember spending the summer (probably only 2 weeks) cleaning out what had become a jumble of vegetation in the "secret garden" adjacent to the house, between it and the church. I last visited in 1971 when my husband and I lived in London for a short time.
