The Bakers of Highfields Story
Return to the Farndale Family Website
A Journey
through time, following in the footsteps of one family.
The Time Traveller’s
Handbook
When you
first visit the Farndale Story, please read the Time Traveller’s Handbook
before using the Matrix for the first time.
Quick Key
I suggest
that you start by reading the
Orientation, top right of the matrix in a light green box.
The Numbered Stories
take you on the main journey into the past. You’re best to read them in the
numbered order, starting with the light blue shaded box. However more
rebellious readers can travel through time in a more random order if that is
what you prefer.
The Explainers
tell of places and historical events, and of historical factors which
influenced our family’s story. They provide a little more depth as you visit
different eras of time.
The Thirty
Objects and Places take you on a geographical tour, and provide directions if you would like to visit our
ancestral lands in person. You will come into contact with
places and objects that will put you in direct contact with the family through
time.
The Bakers are a few of our ancestors waiting to
be introduced to you, to further enhance your journey through time.
All these
pages are full of hyperlinks. These will
take you to the underlying research if you would like to explore in more depth, or check the source material. Every member of the
Farndale family has his or her own webpage.
The Bakers of Highfields will follow.
