Can anyone help me? I would like to contact Alan Barker, whose family lives/d in Virginia Water, or find information on his whereabouts. We were at college in Walsall between 1965-68 and trained to be teachers. He moved back to Virginia Water in 1968 to teach. We kept in touch for a while but I believe he later moved to the USA. After that I lost touch. Last weekend there was a mini college reunion and next year we are hoping to have a 40th reunion and are trying to contact ex-students. So if anyone can provide me with information regarding Alan, I would be most grateful. |

If my information is correct, some years ago the ladies of Windlesham made a quilt with oak leaves and acorn motifs. It was featured in a magazine at that time and I had the cutting. I should be grateful if one of its makers would send me a picture and the story behind the quilt. I am a quilter myself and thought the block was beautiful even from the tiny cutting I had. |

Hi, i am trying to find out if anyone has researched men and women of Virginia Water that were killed in the Second World War? I am researching aircraft crashes in Shropshire and one of the pilots that was killed was F/Lt Roy Harold Phillips (138663), RAFVR, aged 23. He was the Son of Harold Alexander and Marie Ethel Phillips, of Virginia Water, Surrey; husband of Marjorie Eileen Phillips. I am wondering if anyone can help with any further information on this pilot? Perhaps somebody has researched war time casualties? I would be very grateful for any help. Many thanks, Tom |

re question about Glenridge Farm. I also lived on the farm from 1964 -70 and have many happy memories of the childhood where I could roam free and ride horses. I also attended Christchurch school. I visited the spot also , only to find it desolate and run down. Glenridge Hotel was closed down in the mid sixties, the farmhouse was not livd in after about 1970 and I presume the community living in mobile homes also moved on due to lack of utilities. Deborah |

I lived in Virginia Water when I was a little girl between 1958-63 on Glenridge Farm, Callow Hill and attended Christchurch Primary School. After all these years I recently visited the area to show my daughter where I had such freedom to roam throught he forest and ride horses, althought the spot where I used to live is now over run and desolate. Can anyone shed any light on to what happed? I think there was a farmers daughter called Penny on the site. |

Is there anyone still around in Virginia Water who remembers Mr Rex Blake who was the organist at Christ Church from 1936 to 1956. I have in my possession a calendar mounted on a piece of marble which was presented to Rex Blake by the Vicar and congregation which I have inherited from my deceased Aunt (Alice Blake) who was married to Rex. I understand that Uncle Rex was a marvellous organist and pianist. Hope someone may have some memories they can share with me. |
