mike142sl Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Does anyone know where this house is/was. Where we go on holiday every year in S Devon there is a grave yard through which we walk the dog, and on a corner is the grave of someone called Wragg who was some sort of sea faring chap. In fact the grave is his wife's as he was buried at sea, but it states 'of Aelflugh Ranmoor Cliffe Sheffield' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayleaf Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 It may be my feeble mind but it does ring some sort of bell. I seem to have come across it somewhere, but I'm blowed if I can remember. Now it's one of those nagging things! I'll have to consult my library, (both shelves!) Was there any date on the grave Mike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike142sl Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 Aelflugh ! Bless you As it happens I am a bit like that - recovering from Flu at the moment.

mike142sl Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 Sorry Syrup, you misunderstand me. 'Aelflugh' is or was the name of a house on Ranmoor Cliffe in Sheffield. The grave is in a place called Galmpton near Hope Cove (all a few miles from Salcombe). I don't have a pic of the grave (yet) but this shows the church in its setting.

mike142sl Posted August 14, 2010 Author Share Posted August 14, 2010 OK, just back from my latest trip to S Devon and have some more info. Firstly the house name is spelt Aellfluh and the chap who lived there was called Earnest George Wragg who was a J.P. He died suddenly off the island of Cyprus on 16th May 1928 and was burried at sea. His wife died 4 years before him and it is her grave that shows the inscription about Ranmoor Cliffe. I've tried uploading a picture of the grave but it won't have it, so may try again another day, but if the above is of any help - especially the fact he was a JP.

vox Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Is this him ? In 1901, Mathew Robinson is described as Hotel Keeper here at the Station Hotel, [Hathersage] with his wife Hannah and their three daughters, he employed three servants. Another inn that was once in Hathersage was the Bluebell. The Station Hotel would remain a focal of activity in the village, and was once a meeting place of the home guard. It was later sold to Ernest George Wragg Brewers, of Ranmoor and then the Tennant Brothers, of the Exchange Brewery of Sheffield. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
