No.1
Victoria Terrace, Clifton ( the first
house on the left) was lived in by Robert Knibbs
b. Deddington Aug 1835, his wife Elizabeth and 10
children of
whom George Levi was my grandfather. The house remained in the family for several generations and the last family member to be born there was Robert Knibbs' great-grandson, Colin Rapley, in 1943. Colin told me that the cottage was very old fashioned and even in the 1940's, they still collected water from the village well, used oil lamps, and had an outside loo. A pig was kept at the bottom of the garden and when killed, it was salted and hung in the kitchen. No. 3 Victoria Terrace was lived in by Robert's son, Walter Knibbs, from about 1948 after his wife Ruth died. |
| The church at the far end of the terrace is St James Church which was built in 1851 on land given by Thomas Wright, the husband of Robert Knibbs' sister Sarah. Thomas Wright and Sarah lived at St James Farm, Clifton, Oxfordshire, England. |
