Here is an account of life during the Blitz, as written by sculptor Clare Sheridan (née Frewen; 1885 – 1970):
“Even as I write, great guns are booming on the Channel. The reverberating explosion has shaken the house; soldiers at the foot of my garden are feverishly digging trenches. When will this capital event happen? We are all keyed up waiting. There are those so firmly convinced of Hitler’s historical sense that they insist he will land here by air or sea or both and that the battle of Britain may be re-enacted here on the site of 1066. And so we wait.”
