The Green

The Green, Denbury - background shows wall of the Manor House before it was raised to 10 feet in about 1913 because the vicar complained he could see a daughter of the house playing tennis on a Sunday. So Mr Curtis, then Lord of the Manor, raised the wall so vicar could not see from the vicarage. There was no little ill feeling between the two households and this was a manifestation of it. Lettice Curtis, one of the daughters, became a prominent pilot. Rev. D.H. BARIGGS 1910-1916. DRA 1287 DB 033
