Wednesday 20th February
Today we had planned to visit my parents and search out a few ancestors on the way. Graham has recently found out that my great, great grand mother, Mary Ann Page (nee Coldicott born 1841 in Campden), and widowed early, took over the running of The Garrick Inn, High Street, Stratford between 1888 and 1901 She then moved to 'The Unicorn', later known as 'The Pen And Quill' and later The Falcon, both in Bridge Street, but now known by different names
The Garrick is still there in the High Street and has its own intriguing history. We were hoping to meet up and have lunch there, but it was very foggy, and my parents weren't keen to venture out. However, we couldn't resist having a closer look on the way down, especially as we have walked passed so many times unaware of our connection with this building...
