From Lacey Green History

(The following is an excerpt from the article 1956 Rita Probert (Autobiography)
In the 1950s here was still a 'class divide'. At The Salmon, Loosley Row lived Mr and Mrs Isdell-Carpenter, they, too, were kindly, but we ‘knew our place’ – they were upper class. Their daughter Sally was one of the last Debutantes to be presented at Court. They also had servants, which was very impressive.
Mrs Isdell-Carpenter started a sewing circle, then later thought it would be good to have a club for the older residents of Loosley Row & Lacey Green – thus the 81st Club was formed. My mother became a helper and later, when elderly herself, a member.)
in early 1962 Mrs Isdell-Carperter resigne fromthe 81st Club on moving to Surrey.
