Photograph of Mr and Mrs Gough with their daughter Joyce (Vincent) Lydiard Park, c1950s

Harry and Phyllis Gough with their daughter Joyce (Vincent), her son Stephen and their dog Patch, in the grounds of Lydiard Park.

Harry Gough, a Verger at St. Mary's Lydiard Tregoze, had been recruited by Swindon Corporation in 1944 to become the first caretaker of Lydiard House. This followed a break-in by American servicemen from the station hospital camp in the park. The Corporation felt it was no longer feasible to leave the House unoccupied.
