Revd John Kemp was the priest at St Andrew’s from 1990-1994, before he and his wife retired to Suffolk.

Yesterday, their daughter Liz visited The Hermitage, which was her parents’ home for three years. Liz and her husband, Paul had happy memories of visiting with their sons.

The Hermitage has changed from how they remembered it, as it was later altered to provide an additional bedroom and bathroom at the fron. A new terrace was built.
The planned changes are shown on this old plan, with the extension pencilled in.

Liz remembers eating out on the original terrace, where the front door and entrance are today.
