Swindon residents Mr and Mrs Collett were regular visitors to Lydiard Park for over forty years. Their son Nigel recalled:

'My parents loved Lydiard, and when my father purchased our first car in the sixties we began a habit of visiting at least twice a year that has lasted until now. He was a trades unionist and shop steward in the Great Western Railway works but was proud of the fact that the Corporation had bought the house for the town.'
