Quorn, Leicestershire Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound. When I was 9 my grandmother, who at that time was living at Quorn House, Quorn, died and she left me the house and the park land in trust…we moved from London and came to live at Quorn house…I can remember thinking that the house was extremely large and getting lost in the grounds. Quorn seemed to be a fairly small, tightly knit village. It had its own bobby, bobby Norman who seemed to run law and order completely unaided and work a 24 hour day. The church was still very much the hub of the activities in Quorn and the vicar was Canon Rumsey who had a brother, Murray Rumsey, who was a bit of a character who was the local reporter. He was also a lay reader and the choir master…with the outbreak of the war gradually the staff diminished and they were called up. The gardeners too were gradually replaced by Land Girls because the big walled kitchen garden was extensively used for growing fruit and vegetables…it wasn’t long before the house became a Red Cross convalescent home and we had a number of VADs, [Voluntary Aid Detachment] one of whom was a Barbara Mathers who eventually I married and has been living at Quorn ever since.

Evington Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound. Do you remember any Americans in the area as well? They were posted on the… I think they had tents on the race course, and certainly at Shady Lane. But they used what is now the old swimming pool, it isn’t used, they boarded the floor over, you know, filled the pool in with boards, and I think that was their mess hall, and we used to have a village hall and they used to go there, and of course we’d got a cinema and they used to go in the cinema. We used to speak to them, I remember one used to give all the children, the little boys and girls, a ride round the village in his jeep…I don’t think they were here that long really, came somewhere from Italy to settle down, to go back on D-Day…Course we had the German prisoners here…a lot of them were very young, I mean some of them weren’t much older than us 15 year old children, you know. The same with the Americans, some of those were very young. I remember the one who worked on Oadby Lodge because the people there were friends of ours, my mother used to go up there a lot…and they used to spend a lot of their time cutting out, made marvellous tin toys out of a sardine tin, or a treacle tin. I’ve got a ship in a bottle that one made, gave to the family I suppose, but I’ve kept it. And they made wooden toys. I remember when they first came they camped on Shady Lane, because the Americans built the billets on Shady Lane, then they went and they started bringing the German prisoners over, and it was a regular Sunday evening walk to walk from Oadby to Shady Lane. I don’t know what I expected to see, you couldn’t see much anyway, but I can always remember their singing…it was really lovely.
