Born in Skellingthorpe (Whitley Way) in 1950, we moved to 103 Swift Gardens, St. Giles in about 1954. My mum always used to say that it was meant to be a “temporary” arrangement but we still lived there into the late 1960s. I attended St. Giles Infants, Junior and Secondary Modern for Boys schools. Moved away for a few years after I got married, but came back and have lived here since about 1975.
My main interest is genealogy/family history having traced my mum’s family (mainly in Lincolnshire) back to the mid 1700s. Still researching, but have come to a halt with my dad’s paternal family in County Down in 1860s

THE HISTORY OF ST. GILES PROJECT
A project inspired by Andrew Fielding’s St. Giles Group on Facebook
I haven’t decided just how the end result of this project will be published,
but I am hoping to find a sponsor to fund the provision of a free copy to each
household on St. Giles.
Ideas and help would be appreciated.
I have compiled a provisional list of areas to be covered on the next page.

St. Giles became one of the most popular saints in the West, the patron saint of woodland, of lepers, beggars, cripples, and of those struck by sudden misery, and driven into solitude like the hind, which, according to one tradition, came to St. Giles wounded.
