Lilliput Lane's "Pretty As A Picture" is based on Gatehouse at Mentmore Towers Cheddington Lodge, LU7 0QN  [IoE 42109 ]

It's always good to hear about people who have lived in the Lilliput Lane Originals.

Mrs Irene Fountain kindly provides several photos for this page, including these old photos of Cheddington Lodge and writes:

"Cheddington Lodge, which was once called Park Lodge as this was where my mother lived as a child from 1924-1933 the family name was Millins and this was also the home where her father, Dennis, grew up in."

 

Irene Fountain also provides the photos to the right and below.

To the right is her great grandmother with her 3 son's who lived in the cottage this was taken in the first world war :

  • her grand father Dennis Millins is on the right,

  • his elder brother John in the center and

  • his youngest brother Frederick on the left, sadly Frederick was killed at Flanders and he is on both Mentmore and Cheddington war memorial, he also received the military medal.
