A lovely and fascinating video of a hamlet on my doorstep that I’ve never visited. The level of research that you must do is incredible and must be very enjoyable to do. Thank you so much for sharing.
Many thanks!
Really enjoyed this, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
Found a John Thomas & Sarah Griffin nee Williamson on census records. She was originally from Market Deeping and he from Bourne. They lived together in Carlby for most of their lives together, where he was an agricultural labourer before later being a farm foreman. In the 1901 census they are still living in Carlby but by the 1911 census (2 years after Sarah's passing) his address is listed as Model Farm, Upton.
Well done - thank you !
You are quite correct to call Upton a village...definition of a hamlet below 😊

Thanks for that!
Very informative and interesting. Do you know who owns upton woods or is it council owned? Would like to take a walk but don't want to be trespassing thanks.
No idea but I think it is the Woodland Trust and I'm not sure there are any public footpaths that give you access so difficult one.
