Wilford Lodge
Home of Arthur & Catherine Oram & their children John, Arthur “Attie”, Gretta, Emily, James & Isa.
After the death of Catherine in 1920 Wilford Lodge was sold to a member, or ex-member of the British army. Not surprisingly the house was soon burnt down. We (Chris and Carolyn) remember how in 1961 our grandfather James stood in the mossy ruin announcing “This was the room I was born in”. Despite leaving Wilford in 1906 James kept his Irish accent that quickly broadened as he was greeted by locals who recognised him. The site was redeveloped in the early 2000s.
