We had a Nanny who looked after the children.  Her name was Florence Mills, and she came from Newcastle.  She stayed with us all through.  She was in her young 30s when I was born, I suppose.  When we brought Priors Hall she had her sister came to work here and they looked after my grandmother.  They lived in a Rectory cottage nearby
