Clifton House – 12 Windsor Road
1822 Crowle Enclosure Award William Ducker awarded the plot of land, numbered 207, on Godknow Common. It would appear that they built a property on this land and used the land as a garden.

Aegir – Saturday 23rd February 2019

Chafor’s Shop

In this day of internet shopping, it is a breath of fresh air. Although the Chafor family have only been running the shop […]
