I lived at The Noak in the 1960's.......in fact, my parents owned it for much of the 60's (Derek and Claire Herbert).
I am actually interested in tracking down Richard Bray, who I notice got a mention in a Feb 2008 edition of your magazine.
His parents ran the next-door farm, and I was particularly friendly with Richard.
Do you have any contact details by chance ??
Kind Regards
Mark Heritage
