Gill Turner (Eleanor Gillian Turrner) who had lived at 'Wyndies' for many years, died in February 2015 aged 84yrs. Her family have very kindly allowed access to and reproduction of numerous items of her estate. Her father Ralph Victor Turner was a builder and undertaker. He was also a senior Air Raid Warden here in Henham during World War 2. Fortunately Gill preserved some of his records of all three occupations.
