We are going to see, today, a couple of photos showing ‘The Grove’ in Market Lavington. The photos are certainly not brilliant in quality or condition. Here’s the first – it could be almost anywhere.
The Grove, Market Lavington in 1923 = not the most exciting photo!
The Grove showing St Mary’s church, market Lavington in 1923. AShame about the photo condition!
This one is in shocking condition but at least has St Mary’s Church visible and a grazing horse.
We have some information about these images. They are dated as 1923. The pictures were taken by Maude Wright who emigrated to Canada and married there. She sent these pictures to Peggy Gye prior to 1985.
The question for us, which we hope someone can answer, is ‘who was Maude Wright?’ We know nothing at all about her. We do not know if Maude Wright was her married or her maiden name. We don’t know when she emigrated – but presumably after 1923. Do get in touch if you can tell us anything.
Let’s finish with a ten minute digital clean up of that second photo.
