Here is what SHEENA WROTE

LOOKING FOR MY ROOTS!
Hi, - My name is Sheena and I was born in 1948 in Lancaster Infirmary. At the time my father, William Donald MacKay, was the Head Gardener on Lord & Lady Peel’s Hyning Estate where we lived. My family left Lancashire when I was about 2 years old and moved to Melksham in Wiltshire.
I am researching our Family Tree and unfortunately I have little knowledge of this time in my life. I know that I was baptized at St. Oswald Church, Worton although I have no idea of who my godparents were!
Some friends who live in Bolton recently visited Worton and said that the village and church are beautiful, also the people they met were very friendly.
I would be very pleased to hear from anyone who has any information about the church or the Hyning Estate which we now understand is a monastery.
We found LRU and joined when researching the Hyning Estate and thoroughly enjoy the contents.
Our intention is to visit and find more about my roots sometime.

Many thanks - Sheen.
