My one sighting of Theodore Lamb was in the late 1930's there was to be a big sale at the Bell Pub in Adderbury word got around that Thoedore was to be there. He arived on his Bicycle with no tyres and disapeared into the village shop opposite, Mam said I could waite to see him come out although I should have been in school as the bell had just gone. When I finally arrived in class every one was sitting behind their desks and the Head Mistress who for some reason was always called the Governess was demanding to know why I was late. Having given my eplanantion she said she thought my Mother should have had more sense than to encourage me to stare at a poor old man. "He is not a poor old man "says me "He has an old tin and its full of pound notes," I had heard someone talking that had been in the shop.. I was given 50 words to be written out at playtime for being late and another 50 for answering back. We were not given lines like some schools we had to write words all had to be more than five letters and should we have used the same one twice she would always notice. My husband who as a boy grew up on Wiggington heath, where the golf course is. Said that he was two other lads when they saw Theodre Lamb he had bought a chicken hut with ironwheels he gave them sixpence each (a small fortune in those days) to push the hut to where he lived. I believe it gave him shelter for a number of years. I have a news paper cutting which my Mum had put into a scrap book also some thing written about him. if noone gets a phto I will try and find it but am not yet very good at emailing photos Rhoda
