The Momper's are mentioned in the historical register. They were among those who helped close the north side of Eastwood Circle to through traffic. Prior to that, it was pretty common for residents of the Manor to drive through Eastwood Circle to get to or from Madison Road. The Manor was ultimately razed to dust.

That's right Jerry. Did you look at the school pictures on page 31 ? I really think that you are in them.. Did you and Leroy talk about the Manor?? When Jrs' daughter grauated in 90. Leroy came to his house for the family gathering.Jr had seen Leroy, but the rest of us hadn't seen him in over 25yrs. For me and DoBee it was an emotional time. When Dad passed away in 97 he came to the wake service. There were quite a few kids from the manor too....it was like being kids again and others were asking if he remembered them It was really thoughtful or him to come to it. Hyden

Your recollection that decent, regular people lived at Stratford Manor is correct. However, near the end, it fell into disrepair and neglect. From what I can gather, the Manor started to attract a few seedier people. Unfortunately, it always seems like it only takes a few undesirables to get the most unwanted attraction.

I suspect access through Eastwood Circle was closed off at Duck Creek Road mostly to stop the regular flow of cars traveling between the Manor and Madison Road. The object was probably to give the Eastwood Circle houses more of a private and quiet environment.
