I have my granny's Grandmother clock. It has fabulous Westminster chimes which have been a constant sound throughout my life - first at Granny's house, then my parent's. Despite spending a fortune, it keeps appalling time but that has become part of it's charm.

I have jewellery and China from both sides of the family.

Wall pictures with Victorian scenes and black frames.

I have 2 cups and saucers that belonged to my great grandmothers’ on my paternal side. I am struck by how tiny the cups are.

An oak monk's bench which stood in their hall and which I claimed after they died. As a child I was fascinated that a piece of furniture could transform from a bench into a table

Never knew either grandma, so no memories.

A rocking chair.
