Hi there, My name is Lisa L. Rose-Hawkins. My husband Robert, better known as Hawk, was stationed at RAF Mildenhall 1992-1996. We spent quite a bit of time at The New Inn when Seamus and Julie were the landlords. Not sure who is running it now. We lovedour time in the U.K. and miss it terribly. We would love to move back. We also have friends living in Hockwold, names were Ann & Dave, but for the life of me, we can't remember the last name. We're now living back in the United States, in Texas. We would love to hear from anyone, especially those that might possibly remember us.

My granddad, Fred Newport, was the fishmonger that you mention on your history pages! It’s great to see that his fish and chips are remembered! He lived with his wife Edna, at Rustic Cottage, from some time after WWII until the early 1990’s. My uncles Derek, David and Robert, along with my mother Catherine, all grew up in the village and went to the local primary school. Fred passed away in 1997.

I lived in England I think from 1973-August 1978....Of course like a lot of people there my father was a Master Sargent in the US Air Force. I went to Methwold Secondary School and my best friends were Eva Spitzer, Ann and Kay Carpenter, Susan Neale from Weeting, Karen Green (from Weeting) Sash Puttock either from Feltwell or Weeting. My "boyfriend" was Kenny Strutt whom I think married Mary Tunnely after I moved back to the United States. I lived on Plovers Way around the corner from a little store called "Audrons". My sister Susan was older than I, I can't really remember who her friends were. I had a little brother Daniel Pollock. I made many friends over there....and all my mothers relatives live in Burnham Market and surrounding towns. I want to come back to visit one day. If anyone recognizes the names of anyone I mentioned...please feel free to give them my email address. I would love to especially hear from my dearest friend Karen Green. She had a brother that everyone called "Greenie". My email is sandiblue428@yahoo.com. The last time I had contact with Karen was a letter I received 20 years ago when my daughter was born. She had visited New York and sent me some photos of her. Then I lost her address and that was that. I have been trying to find her ever since!Please help if you can.

I resided in Hockwold from 1975 to 1978 and made many friends while there. I was a member of the Village CIU Club (serving on the committee) and the Club darts team. I would love to hear from old friends via e-mail. I was often referred to as the "English Yank".

I have been looking at your site with great interest, A really excellent site. I am very interested in the Village because my three time Great Grandfather was born in the village, he moved to London to learn the trade of brush maker. He married Rebecca Star from Suffolk and they lived in Kent Street London. I have lots of information of the Green family but nothing much about Robert and his family. His father was John Green and mother was Mary they all seemed to Arg. Labourers at the time of the 1841 census. If anyone knows anything about them or how I can find out more about the family I would be very grateful. If there are any Green connections still living there I would be very willing to share the information I have one the family who moved away. Thank you for the site and the lovely photographs. Pat

Hi, my name is Pamela and I lived in your lovely village from 1955-1957. My stepfather was in the Air Force stationed at Mildenhal Air Base. When my mother and sister speak of our time stationed in England some of the fondest memories are our time living in the cottages across from the pub and town green. My mom speaks highly of all the kind people she met at the pub. One of her stories is we had just moved in and with all the unpacking and such, she and dad went across the street for a beer. They met so many friendly people and the very next morning mom opened the front door and on the steps were a large basket of fresh vegetables and fruits from the townspeople. What kindness they showed. I remember walking down the street once a week for a movie in a small building and then fish and chips wrapped in newspaper, What a treat! Also, going to the little store with a gas pump outside, we didn't know the money that well, so I just put my hand out with coins in it and the shopkeeper took what she needed. I am searching the internet for pictures of several villages we lived in, Tetbury, Ashton Keynes, Bury St. Edmonds for pictures. I want to order prints and frame them for my mother this Christmas for her memories. If anyone knows of a website where I can find these, please email me at Irish4pam@sbcglobal.net. Thank you.

Hi there, I lived in Hockwold as a child for a short time. I left in 1970 but always remember some of the friends I made there. I particularly remember Tansy Bland and she had a younger brother called Roy. Also an older sister but I'm not sure of her name. Tansy and I were in the same class at the school and one vivid memory is of the May Day celebrations where we danced around the maypole on the school field. I used to live in the big white cottage across the road from the village green with my mother and two older brothers. My name was Karen Willis at the time and my brothers are Kevin and Derek. I am a primary teacher now, just finishing a contract in Saudi Arabia. I am returning home to London in a few weeks. My email is kyclancy@hotmail.com. I have enjoyed finding out what is happening there now.

Hi, My name is Leslee Evans and I'm from Shoal Bay, NSW, Australia. My email is bevans@nelsonbay.com . I have just found my great, great grandfather, Thomas West, lived in Wilton Street in 1851. Is this the main street now and does The Black Horse Inn still exist in some form or other? I would love to visit some time in the future. Thanks Leslee
