The tea and scones were excellent and we could sit in the sunny garden looking up to the excavation site and recover from all the excitement and hard graft of the day. During these visits I was drawn to the very interesting leaflet available to guests called “Hobb’s, a little bit of history” written by Ray and Rose Lambe, the present owners. It was illustrated by an intriguing photo of a half-timbered building. Being a keen family historian the whole story whetted my appetite making me want to know more. Time has passed and at last I have had the time to follow all the leads from the Lambe’s leaflet.
