My grandparents, Charles and Mollie Leatherland, lived at the Old Rectory in Dunton from the mid 1930s to 1950. I believe that the Old Rectory is now a hotel. My grandparents are no longer alive, but I think they may have been quite well known in Dunton at the time (my grandfather was a local councillor and News Editor of the old Daily Herald newspaper). I don't know the area but the website is most interesting. If anyone has any recollections of the Old Rectory at that time, or even my grandparents, I'd be most interested. Also, somewhere I have an old exercise book which gives lots of information about the Parish Invasion Committe during the second world war, my gradnfather was involved in this, which may be of interest to anyone who had relatives living in Dunton during the 1940s.
