Going rather further back, my forebears Joseph Osborn and wife Elizabeth Relf b. Whartling 1795 produced all their children at Little Conghurst in the early 1800's. |

I lived in Little Conghurst Cottages, between barn and oast house up until a yesar ago! no. 2 at the rear! Up until recently owned by local farmer Mr Piper / family. Is this the same place? The old shepards cottages? Now being knocked into one house! When we lived there I met a man in his 70's whose aunt and uncle lived there could have been Blackford's??? His name is Dennis (would have to ask my parents his last name). He visited us there with my parents and told us about the doors being originally at the bottom of the stairs and other events surrounding the property. We loved it there but were forced to move by the sale... lovely place/lane area... |

My grandparents Ellen and Luke Blackford lived at Little Conghurst - now called Conghurst cottages I believe. I have very fond memories of staying there during WW2 - and still often visit - via Google Earth street view. |
