Laurence’s tail

The author, Laurence In January 2011, I rang the Pyne Arms to see if I could find someone in the village who was remotely interested in family history. I knew my great grandfather John Lloyd had taught at the Board School (now the village hall) between 1890 and 1900 but knew no more than that. I was not prepared for the level of interest, enthusiasm and help from Sarah at the pub! Within a few days I had a photo of John from 1895 thanks to farmer Bryan Smyth and the promise of a warm welcome should I ever come to East Down! John Lloyd is the adult on the right in the photo below.

I had already planned to cycle across Exmoor in August this year and it was easy for me to visit the village. Sarah recommended A Night in Gail’s – a great guest house just up the road in Kentisbury which was just what I needed. And the pub was so welcoming that evening as was the excellent food and drink! Everyone I met made me feel at home and I found out a lot about the village and the old school.

Best wishes to everyone!

Henry’s Tail

Woof Woof The Pyne Arms, North Devon,
Henry the Tri coloured cavalier King Charles Spaniel here.
My master Tim took me for miles all over the place and so was very tired.
Here is a pic of me on Saunton beach wet and bedraggled. I did enjoy myself.
