I have recently received this request. You don't have to live in Drayton St Leonard to quallify. If you can help, contact the phone number at the bottom:
Hello, my name is Adrian Monti and I am a freelance feature writer who works for the women’s weekly magazine WOMAN. I am putting together an article which I wondered if you might be able to help with or point me in the right direction. It would be great if you could help via what I imagine are your excellent local knowledge and contacts. The feature is about families who have lived in the same house for 100 years ( or a year or so less won’t really matter!). The idea being the great grandchildren or children say who live in the same house that their parents or great grandparents moved into 100 years or more ago. Therefore, at least one member of the family has lived in the house for a century (i.e it hasn’t passed outside the family in that time). It’s one of those features where if you either know of the right person it would be great, but it’s a bit tricky if no one immediately springs to mind. Whoever takes part gets PAID for their time and trouble and of course gets their story in the magazine in their own words and is photographed for it too. It should be fun as well as interesting. Please feel free to circulate my details to anyone who you think can help. I am on 01273 777693 and work from home, or can be emailed on adrian@amonti.freeserve.co.uk
