The box By Josie
Everybody was excited, soon the box was opened and all was revealed.
A candle snuffer, a glass bottle, a paraffin lamp, a book called Gulliver's travels, a corn dolly.
Also there was a key that was found when the gardener was planting bulbs with the help of 3 class ones.
An embroidered cloth, a thimble a needle case, a hat pin and a French knitting doll.
At the bottom of the box there was a scrap of paper that said… ‘These items belong to Mildred May Partridge, 1893’
Class three did some research and they found a lot about Mildred. They also found that her granddaughter was Rachel Wells who lives in Vale Lane.
Anne Maltby a local villager came in to give the children some information about her book
