Frederick Dickman – memoirs of his early years in Hickling

Fred Dickman recorded his early memories of Hickling on tape which were later transcribed by his son-in-law Mike Nichols; they represent a wonderful snapshot of the village in the early 1900s.

  • Frederick (Fred) John Dickman was born in Hickling 9th June 1905. In the 1921 census he is recorded as assisting his father on his farm. Mike Nicholl’s family tree explains that he was a poultry farmer and corn merchant. He died in Nottingham on the 15th August 1991.
  • Doris Elizabeth Woolley was born in Hickling 30th December 1900. Her family farmed at Barland Fields on Bridegate Lane. She died in July 1974 at Highfield Farm, Long Clawson.
  • They married on the 10th April 1928 in the Methodist Chapel in Hickling (consequently, there are no marriage entries in the Hickling Church registers and the online records simply show as being in the Bingham District).
    • Mary (Dickman) Nichols was Fred and Doris’ 2nd daughter.
