Wilders/Stevenson/Kerslake photographs
The Wilders family came to Quorn from Walton on the Wolds and the first written record of them in the village is when Samuel Wilders married Elizabeth Goddard in St Bartholomew's Church in 1813.
These photographs were kindly loaned by Ellen Payne nee Kerslake who is Samuel’s great great great granddaughter.
Photograph 1
A fete on the old village green (now the car park) approx 1963.
Left to right: Susan Kendal, Vicky Overton (who lived at the White Hart), Ellen Kerslake. Do you remember wearing a ‘bubbly’ swimming costume too?!
Photograph 2
Eliza Stevenson, Ellen’s grandmother standing in what is believed to be the garden of 111 Meeting Street, which used to be the old Baptist Meeting House, before the Baptist Church was built. Eliza Ann Wilders was born in 1888 in Quorn and married John William Stevenson in 1913. They lived in part of what is now 111 Meeting Street, which was then two cottages, until it was condemned. After they moved out the cottages were renovated and the building is now listed.
Photograph 3
William Henry Kerslake, Ellen’s father, during WW2, standing outside Allen’s bike shop on the corner of School Lane and Leicester Road. The stone pillar still exists today between 1 School Lane (formerly Allen’s shop) and 52 Leicester Road.
