The Old Vicarage North Leigh, England

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.
