St Bernards Grange, Sheldon

Does anyone have any info or photos of St Bernards Grange Sheldon before it became a pub? Think it belonged to the Wimbush family and I wonder who owned it before that. Grateful for any help
 
Re: St Bernard's Grange, Sheldon

Hi Kathy

All I can tell you is it was the home of Ambrose Wimbush until he died in 1935 and then became a public house & restaurant.

This photo was taken in 1920 before it was a pub.

Thanks Phil ~ thats great. Family 'legend' says that my grandfathers sister, Marie Louise Southall had her wedding reception there in 1910. Groom was Andrew James Harrison and apparantly a Hungarian band played on the lawn outside. Bet that was quite a family 'do'. Kathy
