Clive Long sent us the following:
My dad was born there and grew up in the school house with my nan and grandpa until he went off to join the Royal Air force. My siblings and I spent a lot of time there during holidays and I even attended the school its self for a couple of terms.
Here is my father's service record, as one of Wateringburys own, I feel very happy to share this as it's another great example of achievement from a small community.
There are many references to Clive's father John Long and his family on the website and some can be found on this link:-

I remember the name and am sure I remember him as I went to the village school. A long time ago, and my Aunt, Nora Thorne was friends with Mrs Long. I think we moved to Eastbourne in 1954.We lived in 12, Glebe road.
