Hello David,

My mother (nearly 92 and born in Horsham St. Faith and who lived at one
time in Newton St. Faith) has just answered a couple of questions which
may be of assistance to you.

She new of a Willimot family who lived in a cottage on Wood Farm because
her parents' neighbours, who lived in Waterloo Close, Horsham St. Faith,
were also WIllimotts. My grandfather worked on an adjacent farm.

Anyway, my mum says the farm was located on the Old Catton or Spixworth
road out of Horsham St. Faith. I'll have a look on some old maps I
have and let you know if I find any reference to same.

Best wishes

Alan Ellis
