  • PREFACE in 1974 Enid and I Decided to Look for a House of Our Own As I
    PREFACE In 1974 Enid and I decided to look for a house of our own as I was due to retire in 1976. Gloucestershire we knew was a nice county in which to live. We had certain connections with it. On our days off we frequently toured the Cotswolds, we were then living in Henley-on-Thames. Added to this, in about 1910 my father considered buying the practice at Northleach and so becoming its local doctor, however, he went to Weobley in Herefordshire. His father, James Strachan Clarke who died in 1976 aged 45 or 46 had been a tenant farmer at Ashwick Grange, Marshfield and apparently the Land Agent of the people living at Ashwick Hall. Unfortunately, the records of ownership of the Hall were destroyed in the Bristol blitz during World War II so I know nothing about them. In the parish church there is a brass plate concerning him. The name is incorrect, he is called James Stephenson Clarke, this was an error on the part of my Aunt Agnes, his eldest daughter. In 1775 a certain John Clarke married Jane Stephenson, she is alleged to be the beauty of the Clarkes (though I would think, judging from the pictures, that my wife Enid, runs her a close second and is probably ahead of her). The name Stephenson became attached to the Clarkes until the present day. After a long search we saw a photograph of our cottage in the premises of Bloss, Tippett and Taylor of Bourton-on-the-Water and in 1976 bought it from Mr.
