Timberscombe Women's Institute Meeting at the Old Village Hall, c. 1974
Title
Timberscombe Women's Institute Meeting at the Old Village Hall, c. 1974
Subject
Description
Two photographs of a Women's Institute Meeting held at the Old Village Hall in Timberscombe. Thought of as a British institution, it is somewhat a surprise to learn that the Women's Institute, better known as the WI, was founded in 1897 at Stoney Creek, Ontario, Canada, with the first speaker being Adelaide Hoodless, addressing the wives of the members of the local Farmer's Institute. However the concept of the Canadian WI was based on the Women's Guild, created in Scotland in 1887. The first United Kingdom WI meeting was at Llanfairpwll, Anglesey, Wales on 16 September 1915 (1).
Each WI has its own charter, run by its own members, but the WI's have united over the years, passing resolutions supporting national concerns. The first WI resolution was passed in 1918, calling for "convenient and sanitary houses". Other historic resolutions were in support of women being allowed on juries, increasing the number of women police and advocating equal pay for equal work (2). The WI was renowned for campaigns to supply much needed food--all sorts of food, not just jam and tea cakes--throughout the years of World War II rationing (3).
The Timberscombe Women's Institute was formed in 1949. It celebrated its Silver Jubilee in November of 1974, with five of the founding members present, including Mrs. Enderby, their first president. These photographs may be of that meeting or may be a 1975 gathering, observing the European Architectural Heritage Year (4).
In 2020 and in 2022, with the aid of Joyce Smith, Mary Holcombe and Gwynie Poole, some of the women in these photographs have been identified. Using the bottom photograph, the first woman standing to the left (by the impressive Timberscombe WI banner), is Edith Poole, born Edith Seward on 14 May 1911 at Chard, Somerset. In October 1934, at Dorset, she married Frederick William Poole, originally from Taunton (5). By the 1939 England and Wales Register, Mr. and Mrs. Poole were living in Devonia Cottage at Cowbridge, where they settled for the rest of their lives (6). Mr. Poole worked as a Motor Van Driver (7). Their son, Derek Poole, was born in July 1942 (8). Fred Poole died in 1996 and Edith passed away on 11 September 2007 and they are buried together at St. Petrock's Churchyard (9). On the 7th of May 2006, a week before her 95th birthday, Mrs. Poole was asked to cut the ribbon of a new village hall built on the site of this village hall. She is pictured at the ceremony on SP-091.
The woman to the right of Mrs. Poole is not yet identified. To her right ( in the front row, wearing spectacles), is Dorothy Ada Clatworthy, known to all as Dot. She was born Dorothy Meatyard in April 1907 in London at Battersea (10). In London, Dot listed her employment as "Storekeeper on the Railway" (11) and in 1936 was living at 22 Power Street in Battersea (12). By 1939, she was staying with her future sister-in-law, Evelyn (nee Clatworthy) and her husband, George Elford, at Ford Cottage in Timberscombe and working as a Cashier (13). In July 1946, Dot married Fred Clatworthy, a mason, born in Timberscombe (14). Both are remembered as avid Timberscombe Cricket Club supporters (as seen at SP-176), Fred being a former team member (15).
Seated to the left at the table is Hilary Ruth Aston Humphreys (called Ruth) of Stowey Farm (16), born as Ruth Maltin at Bristol in April 1928 (17). She married Anthony F. Humphreys, of the St. Lawrence Vicarage, Stroud, Somerset in April 1951 (18). Seated to the right is Mary E. Bosley, who resided at the West Lodge on Cowbridge Road (19). Standing directly behind her, the lady with the white hair is believed to be Barbara MaryTaylor, who lived at Marigold Holme on Great House Street in Timberscombe. She and her husband, John Richard Taylor moved to Timberscombe from Birmingham in 1960 (20).
Tilting her head, just behind and to the right of Mrs. Taylor, is Mavis Grabham, born Mavis Doreen Bishop in July 1920 (21). She married Kenneth (Ken) Samuel Grabham, the blacksmith at Cowbridge Mill, in April 1949 (22) . They lived at Mayfield in Cowbridge. Mavis passed away in March 1999, with Ken surviving her until February 2007. They are buried at St. Petrock's (23).
Smiling in the centre, the woman to the left of Mavis Grabham and Mrs. Taylor is Phyllis Muriel Hewlett, born in March 1908, remembered by Joyce Smith as a longtime cleaner of the Timberscombe School. Born as Phyllis Park, in July 1943 she married Basil G. Hewlett of Kingston, Surrey, in her hometown, Lewisham, London (24). Mr. Hewlett had served in World War I with the Northampton Regiment and then worked as a Paper Maker and Exporter (25). He passed away in 1972 and Mrs. Hewlett died in 1984. She and her husband are buried together at St. Petrock's (26).
On the right end of the photograph, with her handbag over her left arm, is Kathleen Annie Willis, born in 1907 in Minehead as Kathleen Axon (27). In 1934 she married William H. Willis at Minehead (28). On 30 September 1935, Mrs. Willis became the Head Mistress of the Timberscombe School, a position she held until July 1967, guiding the school through World War II, the influx of evacuated children during the war and the absorbing further children when the schools in Luccombe and Wootton Courtenay closed (29). She also was the choir mistress for many years at St. Petrock's Church (30). Mrs Willis passed away in 1984 and was buried at the Minehead Cemetary (31).
The woman standing between Mrs. Willis and Mrs. Taylor and looking down towards the table was identified by Gwynie Poole as Dorothy Alice (nee Fieldgate) Lamacraft. She and her husband, Edgar Francis Lamacraft were the owners of Knowle House. Mrs. Lamacraft was born in 1906 at Maidstone, Kent and married Mr. Lamacraft at Taunton in 1931 (32). Mrs. Lamacraft died in 1996 and was buried with her husband at St. Petrock's (33),
The building, as seen here, came about beginning in 1950 when the National Council of Social Services and the Timberscombe Village Hall Committee of Management agreed to erect a suitable accommodation to be available for local recreational and social activities--such as a meeting place for the newly formed Women's Institute. 416 square yards of the Glebe land of the church rectory farm was leased from the Diocese of Bath and Wells (34).
The first accommodation, the "Old Village Hall" as pictured here, was always intended to be temporary. It was two connected timber nissen huts, built during World War II and mounted on brick and concrete foundations. Part of the exterior can be seen at SP-089. Unlike the second and current village hall, which is positioned in a south (where its entrance is placed )to north direction, the Old Village Hall, as it became to be known, faced west to east.
For £190, in 1964 the Village Hall Management Committee purchased the Old Village Hall from the National Council of Social Services. Even at this point, it was becoming clear the building would need to be rebuilt. It has to be admitted in these photographs that the interior does not appear to be that solid or particularly spacious, although it is interesting to see the roof lines slanting in the gabled directions of the two timber huts.
In 1976, the old structure was sold to to local farmer to house his sheep (35) and the New Village Hall (pictured at SP-092) and car park were constructed. On the 8th of August 1977, the land where the hall was located was also purchased from the Diocese for £1400 plus legal fees. Another £100 was spent to purchase an extra bit of land, where the New Village Hall's doorway and porch would be placed (36).
In 2020 a handwritten list of the women who were members of the WI, around the time these photographs were taken, was donated by someone who prefers to remain anonymous. No doubt some of the women currently unidentified in the photographs are included on this list, which was as follows:
MRS BOYCOTT- likely Molly Louisa (nee Court) Boycott, born in 1910. She was the wife of Joseph Raymond Boycott and at the time of her death in 1991, she resided at No. 1 Council House in Wootton Courtenay. Mrs. Boycott was buried at that village's All Saint's Church (37).
