The top photograph shows four members of the Paxton family of Homelands having tea on the lawn with young relatives in the 1930s. The ivy-clad house is just visible in the background and is shown again in the smaller image.
The ladies in the photo are from left to right, Misses Isabel Paxton, Margaret Paxton and Jessie Paxton and Mrs Margaret Paxton (seated). By the time this photograph was taken Mr Paxton had passed away.
I have already written a post about Mr Robert Paxton and about Homelands but in the near future I intend to write individual posts on the other members of the family. Each one of them led a full and interesting life, in which they contributed immensely to the local community and to a range of good causes. I would love to hear from anyone who knew the Paxtons personally.
