Old photos of Spaldwick
A big thank you to Linda Smith for sending in some old photos of Spaldwick. Lisa, who is currently researching her family tree, is descended from the Brawn family.
John Brawn married Emma Belton in 1866 and farmed at Manor Farm, High Street, Spaldwick until his death in 1912.
Their daughter Edith Emily (Emily) married Mark Bamford Davis, who was a baker in Spaldwick (and made her grandmother’s wedding cake).

Spaldwick: Photos of Spaldwick village in 1965
Thanks to Gery E. Mills for sending in some old Spaldwick photos.
He says, “I have enjoyed your Spaldwick Website and since you are requesting old pictures of Spaldwick, I have attached a few. I am an American that was in the USAF and stationed at Alconbury but lived in Spaldwick with my wife from late 1963 to early 1965. I took the pictures with an 8mm movie camera about late 1964 or early 1965. We lived at 3 Ways Cottage, The Green. We have very fond memories of our time in Spaldwick.”
