    Fantastic photos – brought a little tear to my eye to see Barningham in all it’s (her?) nostalgic glory! Keep up the good work! Helen

    THIS is a long shot, but I’m doing my family history and wonder if anyone can help.
    My grandmother was Hannah Bell, I think she may have been a maid. Her daughter Mary Bell, my mum, was born in 1921 and adopted as a child by Mr and Mrs Pearson who lived at Newsham House. I have a picture of her outside the house aged about eight and I believe she went to Dalton school.
    She had a child and later moved to The Nook (which I think has since changed its name). She later moved to South Wales UK in 1951/1952 and got married.
    A couple of years ago I came up and stayed in Barningham and went to see Sir Anthony Milbank who confirmed that Newsham House belongs to them.
    While I was there I went to the house and a very kind lady who lived there was good enough to show me and my friend her home (I was bowled over by her kindness) and was very grateful.
    She thought the house was used during the First World War by the Army as their HQ but I have not been able to get any information on this.
    Any information about Mary or Newsham House would be much appreciated
