Browsing – as one does nowadays on the ‘net’, I happened on your site.

I lived in Barton during 1955 to 1962, attending Barton Primary School on Bedford Road , as it was then; continuing on to Luton Girls High School .  I attended St Nicholas for about 3 or 4 of the latter years, singing in the choir, and loving every moment of this time.  From there my family moved to Chester .  Many fond memories are recalled as I view the beautiful water colour of Church Road , leading not only to Church but to the many walks through the Hills. 

I remember those days quite well, during which time Canon Cleaver was Rector and Miss Dee, a most gracious lady, was ‘in charge’ of the choir, amongst her many duties within the church.  During this time also the church organ was moved from the front to the back of the church (at least I think it was that way around) quite an upheaval as I remember.

A long way from ‘home’, I now live in NSW, Australia , and have done since 1967 – however, my trip, via the net, has evoked wonderful feelings and memories that I have still, of Barton.  I look forward to seeing more photo’s as they come to hand, I believe that only now are we realising how little we have captured on film, of the past, and unearthing photo’s etc. is incredibly important lest they be lost for ever.

Keep up the great work on this site!  Listed now in My Favourites, I hope to browse regularly,

Regards
Sue Joinson (nee Stelling - Glenafon, 97 Bedford Road, Barton-le-Cley)

Many of my ancestors were born in Barton although we cannot trace them all. It would be nice to have a bigger history to see if the name of VASS features anywhere in the church

I always look forward to my pilgrimage back to St. Nicholas's whenever I'm back in England. Many thanks to the members of the choir for welcoming me when I've had the pleasure of joining them on a couple of occasions at the Christmas Carol Concert.

I look forward to seeing you all again when back from my adopted country (Oz). Kind regards to you all. Graham Jones
