From the Rev Leslie Brame in his memoirs  ‘As I Remember It’ we have quite ab it of detail about early wireless in Stowupland (p109). He thought it was before he went to school so around 1920 his sister Kittie (who was 4  years older) said they had been invited to go to Mr Dewing’s house to hear ‘Albert Sandler and his Palm Court Orchestra all the way from London, on his wireless’. Mr Dewing was the senior teacher at the Elementary School and lived in Barn Cottages.

Leslie  remembered thinking that although he had heard of ‘people talking on the telephone from long distances’ …’hearing sounds without – wires —that was hard to believe.‘ But he went with his sister ‘to the Dewing’s house, ‘put on a set of headphones, and heard both talking and music, from London!.’
