Fleur De Lys

Picture source: Darkstar


The Fleur De Lys was situated on Wiremead Lane and is now used as a private dwelling.
 
The Fleur-de-Lys is a thatched cottage in the village of Amport, outside Andover.  I was alerted to this a couple of years ago while on my rounds, by the then owners, who approached me expecting a parcel.  They had wanted to change the name, but were refused permission by the council, as it had been a pub 150 years ago

My father, George Rumbold, his brother, Jack and sister Margaret were all born at Fleur-de-Lys,  Amport. Their father, Francis John Rumbold bought it for £400 in 1916 and the family lived there until 1948 after which they moved to Anna Valley where father worked at Anna Valley Motors.
