Page Gardens

Bell Barn Lane: Leads to the old farm house which was extended from a small 16th Century shepherd’s cottage which is now the lounge. It is reputed that the oak timbers are from old ships. When Mr Fenton moved to Bell Barn Farm he took on an employee – Sid Page, hence Page Gardens. Sid lived at 29 St. Olaves Road until the outbreak of war. Sid’s claim to fame is that he is pictured with E.S. Fenton in flg.13 of “The Story of Kesgrave” by Gerald and Margaret Ponting. Unfortunately this book is no longer in print and despite much effort a reprint has not been possible.
