Recollections of Hampsthwaite

William Busfield (1859-1940) with his great Grandson Maurice Edward Wray (B-1934). - click for full size image
William Busfield (1859-1940) with his great Grandson Maurice Edward Wray (B-1934).

My name is Maurice Wray and I was born in Chapel Allerton, Leeds in 1934.

My mother however, Dorothy Vivien Wray (Ne Breaks) was born in Hampsthwaite in 1908 and was largely brought up there by her grandparents, William and Sarah Anne Busfield, who lived on Church Lane where Lamb Cottage is now.

The photo is taken around 1939 and they are sitting on the 'Bink' or stone seat which was then outside the front of his house (now Lamb Cottage, on Church Street, Hampsthwaite).
