Memories of a child who was actually at CROFT CASTLE when it was a boarding school during the war years. On the day the war ended I can remember the Sister Superior lining us up and saying “Now children the war has ended.' I remember looking out over the fields and thinking — well I can’t see anything different! The thoughts of a mere eight year old!
