Escape to the Country - stories of an often unexpected childhood

The “Long Read” for April is now on line. Click here to take a look. To supplement the story of growing up in the village in the “Stories” section we’ve tracked down some tales from the Children’s Homes at Denham Court and The Lea flavoured with some delightful childhood mischief.

We’ll welcome memories from readers about their own Denham childhood. Just email denhamcommunityhistory@gmail.com.
