And fortunately, his visit to Devon was recorded with the photo (featured) taken outside the barns. The treasured photo belongs to Anne Alford, who moved to Oakhay Barton with her husband Garfield in July 1956. Garfield’s father, Jim, had bought the property from Reginald Barnes in 1938. “It was the most beautiful house. It had belonged to the church for around 1,000 years, but General Barnes was able to buy it,” explains Anne, who has six grandchildren and three great grandchildren. She brought up her three children at the farm. And they always knew that the farm had received a famous visitor: “It was something that was always talked about when we lived there. We knew that Churchill was a friend of Reggie Barnes and had stopped in to visit him on the way to a rally.” Sir Reginald was born at Oakhay Barton and inherited the property from his father. He met Churchill in November 1895, when aged 24, he was attached as an observer of guerilla warfare to the Spanish Army during the Cuban War of independence.

  • Chapter Viii
    CHAPTER VIII INDIA time was now come for us to embark for the East. THEWe sailed from Southampton in a trooper carrying about 1,200 men, and after a voyage of twenty-three days cast anchor in Bombay Harbour and pulled up the curtain on what might well have been a different planet. It may be imagined how our whole shipful of officers and men were delighted after being cooped up for nearly a month to see the palms and palaces of Bombay lying about us in a wide crescent. We gazed at them over the bulwarks across the shining and surf-ribbed waters. Every one wanted to go on shore at once and see what India was like. The de and formalities of disembarkation which oppress the or lays AngloBoerWar.com dinary traveller are multiplied for those who travel at the royal expense. However, at about three o'clock in the after noon orders were issued that we were to land at eight o'clock it in a of when would be cool 5 and the meantime proportion officers might go ashore independently. A shoal of tiny boats had been lying around us all day long, rising and falling with the swell. We eagerly summoned some of these. It took about a quarter of an hour to reach the quays of the Sassoon I the motion of the Dock. Glad was to be there j for lively skiff to which I and two friends had committed ourselves was fast becoming our main preoccupation. We came along side of a great stone wall with dripping steps and iron rings for hand-holds.

  • Charlton Heritage by Frank Lafferthun
    Charlton Heritage Saratoga County, New York Frank J. Lafforthun, Historian Foreword: For the past 200 years there has been only three short histories written about the heritage of the town of Charlton. The first such known history was written by Prof. Levi Packard, principal of the Charlton Academy, in 1869. From this brief history, of noteworthy interest, became the basis for the history of Charlton included in the "History of Saratoga County" by N. Sylvester. The greater share of information in "Stories & Pictures of Charlton" by W. Bronson Taylor, published in 1959, also conformed to Packard's history. This book "Charlton Heritage” also depends on Prof. Packard, for facts on the early history of Charlton, but goes one step before, and one step beyond that period thus making up a comprehensive collation of facts from 1774 to 1974. Fictional books continue to be written through the imaginations of authors, and bear no facts, but a history recording is acquired by vigilant search of the town records, and from these records this writer has tried to record here information about the town of Charlton, that could be lost forever if the town records were destroyed by fire. Frank J. Lafforthun, Historian Main Street, Charlton October 1, 1978 Cynthia J. Lafforthun, Typist Mechanic Street, Galway Vol. I - Part I An Offspring of Albany County: On the 17th of October, 1683, the first "General Assembly" of the "Colony of New York" chosen by the planters or inhabitants of every part of the government, met at Fort James, in the city of New York, with "free liberty to consult and debate among themselves all matters as shall be apprehended proper to be established for laws for the good government of the said Colony of New York and its dependencies.
