Heritage Research - Meeting Derek and Maurice

Steve had an afternoon with Derek Webber and Maurice Butt, listening to their recollections of living in Worlington and some of the events. Maurice was born in Little Witheridge before the second world war and he recollects soldiers camped nearby. The soldiers were deployed on search light and anti-aircraft duties. Maurice spent his early working life working for the Stucley Estate and was able to explain what life was like during his time in the area. He recollected the winter of 1963 when he was living at Keepers Lodge, when he and his wife were snowed in for more than two months. More of  Maurice's stories will appear on our website.
