Dalham-Home of my Stuteville Ancestors for 300 years-from  14th century until 1697---home to Sir Martin Stuteville--landowner, Magistrate, JP---friend of Sir Francis Drake---unfortunatley St mary's Church was closed for repair work so I was unable to video the Stuteville memorials BUT I will return---its good that the church is being restored.Stutevilles lay asleep within this church--deep in the vaults.The Affleck Family once had a private vault and chapel now a ruin--they are buried within the churchyard along with some of the Rhodes family connected to Cecil Rhodes--founder of Rhodesia----The churchyard does  look a bit wild compared to the emaculate condition of Dalham  Hall Gardens which I explore in the following videos.I feel the ancestors around when I visit here---I will return to see how the restoration work progressed...
