Sorry, but don't have. I did try to buy it once but council wouldn't play. Did it still have the safe in it when you bought it?

Good job as it was large. It was in the corner of the front room that looks out on to the main drive entrance.

I have been there many times because my mother's friend Mrs Fleming lived there with her husband who was the cemetery superintendent. They had a son Ian who lived abroad. Mrs Fleming went into care after her husband died. This was many moons ago perhaps thirty years or so.

That's absolutely right. We lived just opposite on Rake Lane when I was a kid until 1968 and vaguely remember Mrs Fleming. My mum always told me that the house had an orchard and that she often gave us apples.

My mother told me in the late 60s that a previous occupant's wife became mentally ill while living there telling her husband she could see people getting out of the graves at night.
