On Christmas Eve Celebrations were in full swing at Stamford Bridge Care Home, as one of its residents reached her 105th birthday in style. Emily was joined by staff, relatives, friends and other residents as she received a telegram from the King in recognition of her landmark birthday. A gathering was held at the home and guests enjoyed a special birthday cake made by the home’s chef.

Emily was born in 1919 in Easingwold and she has always been a local girl. Emily and her husband Henry lived on a farm for many years before Henry unfortunately passed away almost 40 years ago. Emily and Henry share a son and a daughter who are both now married and have children of their own. Emily has four grandchildren and ten great grandchildren. Emily moved into Stamford Bridge on the 9th December 2022 and has since enjoyed many activities like welcoming Alpacas into the home and a trip out to Burnby Hall Gardens to name a couple.

Emma Smith, General Manager of Barchester Stamford Bridge added: “We’re delighted to be celebrating a truly remarkable woman as she reaches this amazing milestone. Emily is such a popular resident who always has an interesting tale to tell, and we look forward to hearing many more as we look forward to her next birthday.”
