Dorothy Cotchin recalls her wedding day:
"I was born at 43 Turnpike Road in 1920 and have lived in Husborne Crawley all my life. I met my husband Fred on a moonlit night in 1943 as I rode my bike on my way to work at The Old Rectory in Eversholt. The Rectory had been taken over by the War Office and I was working there in service. Fred was on his way home from his job as crossing keeper at Crawley Holt Crossing. We started talking and two years later we were married at Crawley Church by Cannon Rust." |
