CAN anyone help please? As a child orphan on holiday from a home in Yorkshire in the late 1940s, I was befriended by the family of the late Bingley Day, of the Judges House, Hovingham, Yorkshire.

Mr Day was renowned for his knowledge of the countryside. I should love to hear from any of his surviving family or anyone who knew them. Mrs Day had two sisters, Belgian refugees from the Great War, who lived at Fritton.
