Hello, from a fellow ‘Downall Greener!’ I used to live here many years ago. In fact I used to have a small Hill named after me. In fact when I ‘left’ Gustavus Hillock, as it became known to the not so many locals, they decided to place a church on top of it, due to my name meaning ‘gods staff’. It’s great to see the old church still standing proud albeit it has changed since I ‘left’. It would be nice to see a plaque or similar on the church wall saying Gustavus Hillock. The name Gustavus Hillock is still recognised on that ‘google’ thing. It would be good for the locals to always remember. Regards to you all. Gustavus. (My father was Latvian)
