Loved: Reg Feddon was a legend in Cumwhinton village REG Feddon was a legend in Cumwhinton. Born in 1933 to Florence and Kelly Feddon, he grew up in the village, attending the primary school there before winning a scholarship to Greggs private school in Carlisle. Yet despite that prestigious start to his academic life, Reg always had his feet planted firmly on the ground. To earn pocket money, he helped his grandfather in his market garden and also local farmer Ernie Wood on his milk round. That early practical experience of working life served Reg well in his adult years. He had a typical village childhood, often cycling the two miles to his aunt and uncle’s home so he could spend time with them in the school holidays.
FAMILIES have been sharing their pictures and experiences of home schooling as they continue to do a sterling job in homes across Southampton. We think all these youngsters and their parents are heroes, just like those still beavering away in schools across the city. The Griffiths brothers are still smiling as they work hard at home in the run up to half term. We also feature a budding writer and a pair of home chefs producing delicious cakes. We d love to celebrate the achievements of your children. Submit pictures at the link below. ARJUN Griffiths, aged 12, is getting stuck into a virtual maths lesson on Microsoft Teams with his Gregg School classmates. Keep up the good work!
