A Southeastern View of Timberscombe, pre 1905
Title
A Southeastern View of Timberscombe, pre 1905
Subject
Description
Two copies of a photograph of Timberscombe, taken from a southeastern angle on the hillside over Willow Bank. The top and darker version of the photograph was one of the first photographs donated in 2018 to the St. Petrock's History Group by Joy and Martin Booth of The Knapp on Church Street, Timberscombe. This first photograph was undated and remained so despite many attempts to discover its origin.
In August 2022, an original postcard featuring the same photograph was shared by James Bowley of Buckinghamshire and the current owner of Yew Tree Cottage on Church Street in Timberscombe. The postcard is the second photograph, the same scene (although in a lighter tone) and is labelled on the upper left, "Timberscombe from Croydon Hill", in red lettering much like the style of early postcard distributors such as Judges's Ltd. and John Valentine's, later Valentine & Sons, Ltd. The latter was situated in Battleton, Somerset (1).
More specifically, the reverse side of Mr. Bowley's postcard was clearly mailed February 1905, postmarked over the half penny stamp of Edward VII, King of England from 1901 to 1910--dating the photograph as pre 1905.
On the lower right are a cluster of larger buildings, built in the early 19th century, on the southeast corner of the area of Timberscombe called Hole's Square. The foremost building, with its front facade visible, later became known as The Studio, possibly so named as it was thought to have been occupied by John Arthur Mease Lomas, an artist born the 18th of July 1862 at North Shields Jarrow, Durham. His family had moved to Minehead in 1875 and when grown, J. A. Mease Lomas (as he was usually identified) lived in Porlock. He came to Timberscombe around 1938, where he lived until his death in 1950 (2). In those years, The Studio was known as "Hole's Square" and was occupied by the family of Herbert and Elizabeth (nee Blackmore) Slade. It is also where Mrs. Slade grew up and may well have been occupied by the Blackmore family at the time of this photograph. Elizabeth Slade was still at the house, Hole's Square, in November 1952 when she appeared before the Parish Council with complaints about scrap metal dumped in the road by her neighbours--more than two years after the death of J.A. Mease Lomas, While it is certainly possible that he (or another artist) leased studio space at the large house seen here, Mr. Lomas had a wooden structure built nearby (on the current lot of No. 2 Willow Bank) by a local Timberscombe carpenter, Frank Huxtable, to be used as a studio, also with living quarters (3).
The top left window on the house, Hole's Square, is seen enclosed, as it has remained. Indeed the building, with its arched doorway, is little changed, although in 2022 it was given its third name, becoming "Finnbar".
To its right, the long building, facing the other direction is End Cottage. The extension on the right back of End Cottage was later raised more to the roof level. End Cottage was not attached to Hole's Square, but it's northern end is semi-detached to The Bracken, the house facing the same direction as Hole's Square (although it does look separate in this photograph). The more square cottage behind End Cottage was Hill Cottage, possibly divided into two residences and occupied at the time of this photograph by a retired farm labourer, Robert Quick and his wife Mary (nee Pearce) Quick and farm labourer, Joseph Farmer and his wife, Elizabeth Ann (nee Moles) Farmer (4). Hill House was still visible on the 1921-1943 Ordnance Survey Map but it was later demolished, beginning in 1979 (5). In front of the house, Hole's Square, along the horizontal path across the bottom of the photograph, is a long storage shed. This appears on the 1844-1888 Ordnance Survey Map. It still survives but with it's three front-facing doors enclosed by bricks.
The lane in front of the the house, Hole's Square, travels down to a junction. Here, the road going to the right is Great House Street. At its beginning, a circle of children appear to be in the road. Behind and to the right of the children and facing the road, is a row of buildings. The buildings in the centre of the row appear to have completely damaged walls and a missing roof, as if there had been a fire. Earlier maps, such as the 1844 to 1888 Ordnance Survey Map, had depicted up to five semi-detached cottages in this area. In this photograph, only what appears to be an extension on the left and the building on the right survive and are roofed. By the 1921-1943 Ordnance Survey Map, the roofed left-end extension and the damaged middle area had been rebuilt. On the corner, a new house had been erected by William Floyde, built for himself and his family and called Hill View (6). To the right of Hill View and facing the road were two new semi-detached cottages, separated from any other buildings. All three new structures actually first appeared on the 1911 Census and the 1911 Summary and were probably completed by 1908, when the more southern of the new semi-detached residences was probably occupied by Sidney and Bessie Thorne and their children. Mr. Thorne died that same year (7) but Mrs. Thorne and her children were listed there in 1911. To her right, Mr. Robert Baker and his family are listed living in northern semi-detached house and "W. Floyde" was listed as owner at the named Hill View to Mrs. Thorne's left. Mr. Floyde's front door likely faced Willow View Lane, the extension of the path coming down from Hole's Square. By the 1921 Census all of the families were still there with the Thorne home now known as "Corner" or "Corner Cottage" and the Baker home called "Rona" --or sometimes "Rona the Corner".
In February 2022, David Burton donated a letter written by his grandmother, Nellie Burton, where in 1963 she still identified her home as "Rona". Later Corner Cottage and Rona were respectively renamed Hillcrest and Paxholt. In 2019, Sheila Ridd, the owner of Hillcrest (who had lived there for 25 years) knew it had 19th century origins but was rebuilt after some sort of disaster--possibly after whatever happened in this photograph. In the mid 20th century, new semi-detached cottages, No. 1 Willow View and No. 2 Willow House, will be built to the left of Hill View (which was later replaced by Willow Cottage) with their fronts also facing Willow View Lane.
The path, Willow View Lane, continues past the enclosed empty fields on each side, to a ford of medieval origin, called Churnet Ford. Past the ford, to the right are an assembly of buildings, being The Old Mill, a former corn mill of 17th/18th century origins and possibly earlier (8). It has been maintained and restored as a single residence. Just past The Old Mill, on the left of a bridleway, is the former Methodist Chapel (also called the Providence Chapel) with a darkened door and two windows facing toward the camera. It opened in 1836, built by brothers, James and Edward Cording (9). It held its final service on the 18th of August 2019. Visible over the chapel's roof, is the roof of a barn that can be seen on the 1843 Tithe Map and still survives. Past it is another roof with three evenly spaced chimneys, across Church Street, the road where Willow View Lane and the bridleway ends. These are the semi-detached Higher Ledge (on the left) and The Knapp (on the right). The Knapp was also built by Edward Cording, likely at the same time he was building the Methodist Chapel. It appears on the 1843 Tithe Map and Mr. Cording moved into it in 1876 (10). Higher Ledge appeared on the 1844-1888 Ordnance Survey Map.
Going to the right of the Knapp, crossing back to the other side of Church Street and traveling down toward the centre of Timberscombe, is the 18th century Great House Farm (11), with its' stables to the left of the former farmhouse. Across from Great House Farm is the 12th century St. Petrock's Church, built on a former settlement, likely religious, that has been carbon dated to 777A.D. (12). St. Petrock's nave and a south aisle were added in the 1500's and the tower was rebuilt in 1708 (13). Past a stone wall running across the western graveyard of the church, the peaks of two gabled roofs are seen, running east to west. On the left, the darker one is an addition to the original schoolhouse of the Timberscombe School that first appears on the Ordnance Survey Map of 1844-1888, being built in 1876. To its right, a lower peaked-roof atop a horizontal white building (with dark openings facing the direction of the camera) is seen to end becoming semi-detached to the other east to west gabled roof, creating an L-shaped structure depicted on the Tithe Map of 1843 and which was built beginning in 1805 (14). The horizontal section was Timberscombe School's original schoolroom and taller roof at its right end is over the structure built to house the Head Teacher and family. Later it becomes a residence called School House and alterations will eventually connect both schoolrooms.
To the right of the church is the centre of the village. It is difficult to identify separate buildings but here is The Lion Inn, The Old Forge, the buildings along Jubilee Terrace and various shops and homes on Brook Street. Seen across the top of these, are the rooflines of Nos. 2 and 3 Jubilee Terrace and Combe (sometimes spelled Coombe) House, with two smaller chimneys on lower roofs to their left. Past these smaller chimneys is a darker building consisting of two semi-detached gabled sections, each with two chimneys. This is Timberscombe's Old Vicarage. There has been a church vicarage at this site since at least the 16th century. This building was declared unfit for a vicar by 1815, but with minor improvement, continued to be leased to lesser clergymen. Between 1855-1864, there were more extensive alterations and enlargements, with the building becoming to look more as it appears in this photograph. It was sold in 1962 and in the 1970's was converted into flats (15).
Near the centre right edge of the photograph, back on Great House Street, the three storey white house is the 17th or 18th century Great House, with the smaller 19th century Stable Cottage semi-detached on its left side (16). To its left, on the top right edge of the open field in the photograph's centre, runs a long stone wall. This is believed to have been built connecting the Great House to Great House Farm, across the village. On the other side of the left end of the wall are the roof tops of Slade Cottage, possibly an early mill and Marigold Cottage, a listed thatched cottage, believed to have been built by 1780, if not earlier (17). Later its name was changed to Marigold Holme. Past the right end of the wall, is a larger dark house called Duck Cottage. Great House Street was formerly known as Duck Lane. The long wall still survives behind the gardens of these three cottages. Across the road from these are two whiter semi-detached cottages Veredale and Overdale, both at least early 19th century (18).
Past Veredale and Overdale, to the right of the village centre, are a line of cottages that face Brook Street (and later Brewers Green, a village green), on the northeastern end of Timberscombe. The first, seen more clearly on the left with a chimney in the centre of the roof, was originally two sheds that will later combine and be known as two of the three residences known collectively as "The Gardens" and will again separate to become Garden and Brook Cottages in the 21st century (19). To their right, placed in a more south to north slant is another cottage that was the third member of the group of cottages known as "The Gardens", later called Briar Cottage. At its northern end, with the longer, whiter roof top, is the cottage known as Brook Cottage, later to be called Pump Cottage and still later renamed Tiki Cottage. To the right of Brook Cottage, are the backs of Berrowcote, the village Post Office at the time of this photograph (20), the Retreat (later Ivy Cottage), The Rose and Crown Inn (later Rosemont House) ending with a slightly lower roof over what was possibly a stable for the inn. Later it will be converted to the residence called Linhay Cottage.
The message and address on the reverse of James Bowley's postcard, seen above, are interesting. It was sent from 15 Southwell Gardens, South Kensington, London to Moscow Road, Bayswater, Middlesex, London, neither nowhere near Timberscombe. The sender signs with initials, possibly "L A M" and the recipient is Mrs. Cot--unless it is "Cox" with a crooked "x". The intrigue is the postscript at the bottom of the message, saying "another view of the old spot", at least suggesting both the sender and recipient must be familiar with what is pictured on the front.
There is a definite Timberscombe connection. 15 Southwell Gardens, South Kensington was the London address of Lord Justice Sir George Farwell and his wife, Lady Mary Erskine (nee Wickens) Farwell (21). Knighted in October 1899 (22), Farwell had been called to the Bar in 1871, was an honorific member of the Queen's Council, raised to the High Court in 1899 and was appointed a Lord of Appeal in 1906, England and Wale's highest court (23). And the Farwell family leased Knowle House, the manor house on the northeastern edge of Timberscombe from Mrs. Jesse Battersby, after the 1896 death of her husband, Mr. Worsley Battersby (24) George and Mary Farwell and their daughter, Maud Farwell, were active participants in Timberscombe's community (25). Sir George Farwell died on 30 September 1915 and Dame Mary Erskine Farwell died on 17 March 1925. They are buried together near the North Porch at St. Petrock's (26) .
The Farwell family had a number of servants, many of which would have traveled between 15 Southwell Gardens and Knowle House, certainly their servant with the job title of Household Head. Her name was Louisa Ann Maidment (27)--- with initials that suggest a possible sender of this postcard.
In August 2022, an original postcard featuring the same photograph was shared by James Bowley of Buckinghamshire and the current owner of Yew Tree Cottage on Church Street in Timberscombe. The postcard is the second photograph, the same scene (although in a lighter tone) and is labelled on the upper left, "Timberscombe from Croydon Hill", in red lettering much like the style of early postcard distributors such as Judges's Ltd. and John Valentine's, later Valentine & Sons, Ltd. The latter was situated in Battleton, Somerset (1).
More specifically, the reverse side of Mr. Bowley's postcard was clearly mailed February 1905, postmarked over the half penny stamp of Edward VII, King of England from 1901 to 1910--dating the photograph as pre 1905.
On the lower right are a cluster of larger buildings, built in the early 19th century, on the southeast corner of the area of Timberscombe called Hole's Square. The foremost building, with its front facade visible, later became known as The Studio, possibly so named as it was thought to have been occupied by John Arthur Mease Lomas, an artist born the 18th of July 1862 at North Shields Jarrow, Durham. His family had moved to Minehead in 1875 and when grown, J. A. Mease Lomas (as he was usually identified) lived in Porlock. He came to Timberscombe around 1938, where he lived until his death in 1950 (2). In those years, The Studio was known as "Hole's Square" and was occupied by the family of Herbert and Elizabeth (nee Blackmore) Slade. It is also where Mrs. Slade grew up and may well have been occupied by the Blackmore family at the time of this photograph. Elizabeth Slade was still at the house, Hole's Square, in November 1952 when she appeared before the Parish Council with complaints about scrap metal dumped in the road by her neighbours--more than two years after the death of J.A. Mease Lomas, While it is certainly possible that he (or another artist) leased studio space at the large house seen here, Mr. Lomas had a wooden structure built nearby (on the current lot of No. 2 Willow Bank) by a local Timberscombe carpenter, Frank Huxtable, to be used as a studio, also with living quarters (3).
The top left window on the house, Hole's Square, is seen enclosed, as it has remained. Indeed the building, with its arched doorway, is little changed, although in 2022 it was given its third name, becoming "Finnbar".
To its right, the long building, facing the other direction is End Cottage. The extension on the right back of End Cottage was later raised more to the roof level. End Cottage was not attached to Hole's Square, but it's northern end is semi-detached to The Bracken, the house facing the same direction as Hole's Square (although it does look separate in this photograph). The more square cottage behind End Cottage was Hill Cottage, possibly divided into two residences and occupied at the time of this photograph by a retired farm labourer, Robert Quick and his wife Mary (nee Pearce) Quick and farm labourer, Joseph Farmer and his wife, Elizabeth Ann (nee Moles) Farmer (4). Hill House was still visible on the 1921-1943 Ordnance Survey Map but it was later demolished, beginning in 1979 (5). In front of the house, Hole's Square, along the horizontal path across the bottom of the photograph, is a long storage shed. This appears on the 1844-1888 Ordnance Survey Map. It still survives but with it's three front-facing doors enclosed by bricks.
The lane in front of the the house, Hole's Square, travels down to a junction. Here, the road going to the right is Great House Street. At its beginning, a circle of children appear to be in the road. Behind and to the right of the children and facing the road, is a row of buildings. The buildings in the centre of the row appear to have completely damaged walls and a missing roof, as if there had been a fire. Earlier maps, such as the 1844 to 1888 Ordnance Survey Map, had depicted up to five semi-detached cottages in this area. In this photograph, only what appears to be an extension on the left and the building on the right survive and are roofed. By the 1921-1943 Ordnance Survey Map, the roofed left-end extension and the damaged middle area had been rebuilt. On the corner, a new house had been erected by William Floyde, built for himself and his family and called Hill View (6). To the right of Hill View and facing the road were two new semi-detached cottages, separated from any other buildings. All three new structures actually first appeared on the 1911 Census and the 1911 Summary and were probably completed by 1908, when the more southern of the new semi-detached residences was probably occupied by Sidney and Bessie Thorne and their children. Mr. Thorne died that same year (7) but Mrs. Thorne and her children were listed there in 1911. To her right, Mr. Robert Baker and his family are listed living in northern semi-detached house and "W. Floyde" was listed as owner at the named Hill View to Mrs. Thorne's left. Mr. Floyde's front door likely faced Willow View Lane, the extension of the path coming down from Hole's Square. By the 1921 Census all of the families were still there with the Thorne home now known as "Corner" or "Corner Cottage" and the Baker home called "Rona" --or sometimes "Rona the Corner".
In February 2022, David Burton donated a letter written by his grandmother, Nellie Burton, where in 1963 she still identified her home as "Rona". Later Corner Cottage and Rona were respectively renamed Hillcrest and Paxholt. In 2019, Sheila Ridd, the owner of Hillcrest (who had lived there for 25 years) knew it had 19th century origins but was rebuilt after some sort of disaster--possibly after whatever happened in this photograph. In the mid 20th century, new semi-detached cottages, No. 1 Willow View and No. 2 Willow House, will be built to the left of Hill View (which was later replaced by Willow Cottage) with their fronts also facing Willow View Lane.
The path, Willow View Lane, continues past the enclosed empty fields on each side, to a ford of medieval origin, called Churnet Ford. Past the ford, to the right are an assembly of buildings, being The Old Mill, a former corn mill of 17th/18th century origins and possibly earlier (8). It has been maintained and restored as a single residence. Just past The Old Mill, on the left of a bridleway, is the former Methodist Chapel (also called the Providence Chapel) with a darkened door and two windows facing toward the camera. It opened in 1836, built by brothers, James and Edward Cording (9). It held its final service on the 18th of August 2019. Visible over the chapel's roof, is the roof of a barn that can be seen on the 1843 Tithe Map and still survives. Past it is another roof with three evenly spaced chimneys, across Church Street, the road where Willow View Lane and the bridleway ends. These are the semi-detached Higher Ledge (on the left) and The Knapp (on the right). The Knapp was also built by Edward Cording, likely at the same time he was building the Methodist Chapel. It appears on the 1843 Tithe Map and Mr. Cording moved into it in 1876 (10). Higher Ledge appeared on the 1844-1888 Ordnance Survey Map.
Going to the right of the Knapp, crossing back to the other side of Church Street and traveling down toward the centre of Timberscombe, is the 18th century Great House Farm (11), with its' stables to the left of the former farmhouse. Across from Great House Farm is the 12th century St. Petrock's Church, built on a former settlement, likely religious, that has been carbon dated to 777A.D. (12). St. Petrock's nave and a south aisle were added in the 1500's and the tower was rebuilt in 1708 (13). Past a stone wall running across the western graveyard of the church, the peaks of two gabled roofs are seen, running east to west. On the left, the darker one is an addition to the original schoolhouse of the Timberscombe School that first appears on the Ordnance Survey Map of 1844-1888, being built in 1876. To its right, a lower peaked-roof atop a horizontal white building (with dark openings facing the direction of the camera) is seen to end becoming semi-detached to the other east to west gabled roof, creating an L-shaped structure depicted on the Tithe Map of 1843 and which was built beginning in 1805 (14). The horizontal section was Timberscombe School's original schoolroom and taller roof at its right end is over the structure built to house the Head Teacher and family. Later it becomes a residence called School House and alterations will eventually connect both schoolrooms.
To the right of the church is the centre of the village. It is difficult to identify separate buildings but here is The Lion Inn, The Old Forge, the buildings along Jubilee Terrace and various shops and homes on Brook Street. Seen across the top of these, are the rooflines of Nos. 2 and 3 Jubilee Terrace and Combe (sometimes spelled Coombe) House, with two smaller chimneys on lower roofs to their left. Past these smaller chimneys is a darker building consisting of two semi-detached gabled sections, each with two chimneys. This is Timberscombe's Old Vicarage. There has been a church vicarage at this site since at least the 16th century. This building was declared unfit for a vicar by 1815, but with minor improvement, continued to be leased to lesser clergymen. Between 1855-1864, there were more extensive alterations and enlargements, with the building becoming to look more as it appears in this photograph. It was sold in 1962 and in the 1970's was converted into flats (15).
Near the centre right edge of the photograph, back on Great House Street, the three storey white house is the 17th or 18th century Great House, with the smaller 19th century Stable Cottage semi-detached on its left side (16). To its left, on the top right edge of the open field in the photograph's centre, runs a long stone wall. This is believed to have been built connecting the Great House to Great House Farm, across the village. On the other side of the left end of the wall are the roof tops of Slade Cottage, possibly an early mill and Marigold Cottage, a listed thatched cottage, believed to have been built by 1780, if not earlier (17). Later its name was changed to Marigold Holme. Past the right end of the wall, is a larger dark house called Duck Cottage. Great House Street was formerly known as Duck Lane. The long wall still survives behind the gardens of these three cottages. Across the road from these are two whiter semi-detached cottages Veredale and Overdale, both at least early 19th century (18).
Past Veredale and Overdale, to the right of the village centre, are a line of cottages that face Brook Street (and later Brewers Green, a village green), on the northeastern end of Timberscombe. The first, seen more clearly on the left with a chimney in the centre of the roof, was originally two sheds that will later combine and be known as two of the three residences known collectively as "The Gardens" and will again separate to become Garden and Brook Cottages in the 21st century (19). To their right, placed in a more south to north slant is another cottage that was the third member of the group of cottages known as "The Gardens", later called Briar Cottage. At its northern end, with the longer, whiter roof top, is the cottage known as Brook Cottage, later to be called Pump Cottage and still later renamed Tiki Cottage. To the right of Brook Cottage, are the backs of Berrowcote, the village Post Office at the time of this photograph (20), the Retreat (later Ivy Cottage), The Rose and Crown Inn (later Rosemont House) ending with a slightly lower roof over what was possibly a stable for the inn. Later it will be converted to the residence called Linhay Cottage.
The message and address on the reverse of James Bowley's postcard, seen above, are interesting. It was sent from 15 Southwell Gardens, South Kensington, London to Moscow Road, Bayswater, Middlesex, London, neither nowhere near Timberscombe. The sender signs with initials, possibly "L A M" and the recipient is Mrs. Cot--unless it is "Cox" with a crooked "x". The intrigue is the postscript at the bottom of the message, saying "another view of the old spot", at least suggesting both the sender and recipient must be familiar with what is pictured on the front.
There is a definite Timberscombe connection. 15 Southwell Gardens, South Kensington was the London address of Lord Justice Sir George Farwell and his wife, Lady Mary Erskine (nee Wickens) Farwell (21). Knighted in October 1899 (22), Farwell had been called to the Bar in 1871, was an honorific member of the Queen's Council, raised to the High Court in 1899 and was appointed a Lord of Appeal in 1906, England and Wale's highest court (23). And the Farwell family leased Knowle House, the manor house on the northeastern edge of Timberscombe from Mrs. Jesse Battersby, after the 1896 death of her husband, Mr. Worsley Battersby (24) George and Mary Farwell and their daughter, Maud Farwell, were active participants in Timberscombe's community (25). Sir George Farwell died on 30 September 1915 and Dame Mary Erskine Farwell died on 17 March 1925. They are buried together near the North Porch at St. Petrock's (26) .
The Farwell family had a number of servants, many of which would have traveled between 15 Southwell Gardens and Knowle House, certainly their servant with the job title of Household Head. Her name was Louisa Ann Maidment (27)--- with initials that suggest a possible sender of this postcard.
