Just a short note to say Bess the dog is still doing very well and is very bright and lively. She can still manage a four mile walk with ease - she will be sixteen in March. Please could you pass on to anyone who knew her as Ginny(Joan) and Paddy Edwards dog. She is very happy and we think they would have been pleased.

A wonderful website. My connection is that supposedly my great,great grandfather, James Sherwill is mentioned as coming from this town.
Are there any Sherwills still there? He left in 1856. Would love to hear any info.
Thanks
Mike

I have a small collection of Military Memorabilia (mainly wiltshire Regiment) but I do have a Band Sidedrum of the Queens Royal Regt. On the back is a small silver plaque indicating that this Drum was presented to the 70th Batallion, Queens Royal Regiment in November 1941 Rawlinson Barracks Denbury - followed by the name of the Officer who made the presentation....this 'might' be of passing interest to anyone researching the History of the Camp.....

Admin reply: Hello Martin,

Apologies for the delay in replying - been laid up for a week with dreadful chest/stomach virus. Most interested to hear about the Sidedrum. We've had a lot of contact from people from the whole gamut of time from 1939 (opening of Rawlinson Barracks) until 1969 when it was finally abandoned by the military. If you've a digital camera I'd be most appreciative if you could photograph the drum (and also its plaque) against a plain background so it can be included in the feature on Denbury Camp (local name for Rawlinson Barracks) on our website. Thank you so much for taking the trouble to contact us.

Really liked the website. We inherited Bess our border collie from Ginny(Jean) and Paddy Edwards who lived in Denbury. Please tell anyone who knew them that Bess is still going strong and is a very happy, lively and healthy fourteen year old!!She still loves chasing sticks especially large ones

I signed the original Guest Book some while back, having found it through researching my MARTIN family history and finding that they were from Denbury, from 1760s to 1850s. My thanks to Bernie Duggan who provide me with some info.
Then Robert MARTIN (occupation Turner) moved his wife and 3 children to Charlton in Kent (now part of Greater London. Another branch of the MARTINS went to Wolborough and were engravers. One of which exhibited and the Great Exhibition of 1851.
If anyone reads this and is related to the Martins please email me.
