• It is with deep regret we learn of the passing of Audrey Tarrant. Our sympathies are extended to the family. Audrey Tarrant arrived in Week St Mary on June 16th 1940 as an evacuee. Our grandfather brought a school party here and they fondly called our grandad Pop Martin. She got on the train at Croydon with her two brothers but on arriving in Bude railway station Peter got on the wrong bus and ended up at Whitstone, her brother Colin ended up with Nath & Winnie Cole’s here in the village.

Audrey gave me (David Martin) her memories of the evacuation to Week St Mary for David’s book. Her memories state, “my memories of life in the village will stay with me for the rest of my life and in spite of the war I look back at my time spent in Week St Mary as some of the happiest days of my life.” Well, she certainly never forgot her time here and has regularly returned to the village to visit. She has been here twice recently for both of the funerals of David & Shelia Coles.

Her daughter Gill supported her on the trips, it has been a regular holiday for them staying locally. How wonderful that Week St Mary cast such a spell on you Audrey and you returned so many times over the past 82 years……. Thank you for all your visits; now rest peacefully.
