This is the story of a Norfolk woman,Hilda Hobart - now in her 93rd year. She tells of an age when poverty was a shared experience and community was as important as family. Born in 1914, she also tells of an age shrouded in the secrecy of woman who were forced to give birth in the workhouse, having fallen into disgrace by producing an illegitimate child. This book is the result of many conversations with Daisy Hobart, with the specific aim of producing a book to record her memories of childhood in Horsham St Faiths. The words are her own, with some additional, agreed, editing and census research.
