UPDATE: The house was located just across the street and down the road from a Pub (Star Inn) on the right hand side just past a cemetery, it was a "house" that was also the shop downstairs in front.The name Vicarage Lane seems to ring a bell. There was an American lady who had twins who lived on the same road (early 1970's period). Does anyone in the village remember any of this?
Thanks, appreciate any information.
