"Little Imber on the down, seven miles from any town” reads the old rhyme in one of its many variations and it was this isolation that would lead to the fateful evacuation shortly before Christmas 1943. Dolly spent nearly ten years living at 10 Church Street, Imber. It is her memories that made Imber more than a deserted village, for Dolly had the ability to make the village live again
