My grandparents Henry and Muriel Crawford built Avonside I think around 1900 and my mother and Uncle were brought up there. My grandfather was the local doctor and the village hall and playing fields were built in memory of him . My grandmother wrote and published three gardening books about Avonside , she was a friend of Gertrude Jekyll who often gave her tips on the gardens. I have not seen Avonside for a long time but hope it retains some of the gardens my grandmother loved.
