Title

Croydon House and Croydon Farm, pre 1620 and Onwards

Description

In 1641, Thomas Siderfin, a lawyer, was the sitting tenant of Croydon, situated south of Timberscombe, approached by a private road beginning at Hole's Square on the eastern side of the village, near the former Timberscombe quarry and passing under Timberscombe Hill to its left. Mr. Siderfin had a 99 year lease for Croydon Farm, first signed 14 December 1620. On 24 October 1641, he bought the property from its owner, Captain Anthony Hill of Ridland in Gloucestershire, the lord of the manor of Timberscombe. John Leigh the younger, a blacksmith from Timberscombe, acted as Mr. Siderfin's trustee and the purchase cost was £180 (1).

Croydon House, as seen in the photographs above, was not part of Mr. Siderfin's purchase. His family began the building of today's Croydon House as the 17th century progressed. The classic "THE BUILDINGS OF ENGLAND, SOMERSET: SOUTH AND WEST" by Julian Orbach and Nikolaus Pevsner (and more commonly known as "Pevsner's", found it "remarkable that the Siderfin family chose to build on this remote site in the later C17...." (2). However Thomas Siderfin's 1641 conveyance described a farm already established with "estates, edifices, buildings, barns, stables, stalls, outhouses, gardens, orchards, yards, backsides, outlets, lands, meadows, pastures, steadings, commons, common on pasture, watercourses, ways, paths, woods, underwoods, profits, commodities, hereditaments and appurtenances" (3). It may have been remote but it certainly appears to have been thriving.

The Thomas Siderfin, who purchased Croydon, seems to have been baptised in 1590 (4). He and his wife, Joane, had at least two sons and a daughter. His elder son, also Thomas Siderfin, also was a lawyer, who had been admitted to the Middle Temple at London. Born in 1637 (5), the younger Thomas Siderfin died in 1681 at Middle Temple, leaving no heirs (6) and Croydon was passed on to his brother, Robert Siderfin, born with his twin sister, Joan, in 1645 (7). Robert too was a lawyer, admitted to Middle Temple in 1675 and served as the High Sheriff of Somerset in 1694 (8).

On the 3rd of February, the year before he inherited Croydon, Robert Siderfin had married Katharine Potkins at St. James, Dukes Place in London (9). It is not clear what happened to Katharine, as on 2 January, 1682, after taking over Croydon, Robert married Katherine Groves at St. Mary Woolnoth, at the corner of Lombard and King Williams Streets in London (10). Unfortunately she passed away in Exeter in 1686, recorded at her death as "of Croydon" (11). Robert remarried again on 16 June 1687 at St. Nicolas, Cole Abbey in London (12). His new wife, Anne Wittewrong, arrived with a marriage settlement of £3000 (13), possibly a factor in the on-going construction of Croydon House.

Looking remarkably different from the upper photograph, the lower photograph of Croydon House was taken on 6 October 1995. In the same sentence where Pevsner wrote that the building of Croydon on a "remote site" was remarkable, just as remarkable was its construction being of a "newly fashionable brick, previously unknown in this region". When most West Somerset homes were constructed of stone, Croydon House was built of hand-made fired brick under a slate roof. In 1830, James Savage, the author of "HISTORY OF THE HUNDRED OF CARHAMPTON" described Croydon House as "an ancient brick one", with wainscotting throughout (14).

While some sources designate Croydon as of the Queen Anne period (15), Pevsner called it "in most respects a typical Restoration house", pointing out its wooden cross windows, and shell-hood doorway, both apparent in the upper photograph, taken in May 2020 by Dr. John Prideaux, the current owner of Croydon, along with his wife Pippa Prideaux. Noted by Pevsner were Croydon's hipped roofs on a heavy wooden cornice, adorned with "untypical painted symbols" between the cornice's medallions, not unlike ones painted at Clarendon House in London between 1664 and 1669. Also described were large-field paneling that survives throughout the house, a panelled archway between the hall and stair hall. The staircase was a closed string style (where the edges of the steps are not visible) with stout balusters.

Pevsner cited that financial difficulties around 1700 had stopped construction of Croydon with only one wing and a part of the house's centre left incomplete. Pevsner's source for this supposition was a 1700 Act of Parliament to regulate Siderfin family finances, uncovered by Dr. John and Pippa Prideaux, after purchasing Croydon at auction in April 2000. Such an act would suggest substantial construction at Croydon would have been already completed or in process by that year.

The house , as seen in the 1995 photograph, has also been described less kindly as "unbalanced", suggesting this could be the result of a large eastern kitchen wing being pulled down, probably c. 1800. In 1830, James Savage wrote that Croydon had two wings but "since it was converted into a farm-house one of the wings has been pulled down". An 1802 Ordnance Surveyor's drawing was the first to depict Somerset's Croydon in any sort of detail but, as pointed out by Dr. Prideaux, it was too small in scale to depict if the eastern wing was or was not evident and that an 1840 Carhampton Tithe Map was more absolute in showing no eastern wing. It did exist though. When Dr. and Mrs. Prideaux began construction of a new extension for Croydon, it was built on the foundations of a former wing. Indeed some of this earlier foundation was sawn through to support the new construction, with indications that even some of the 17th century building was erected on foundations of an even earlier dwelling (16).

Anne Siderfin died in 1708 (17) and Robert Siderfin --who may have married again (18)--died in 1720 and was buried on 14 July at Luxborough (19). They were succeeded at Croydon by Robert's nephew, Robert Darch, who was also his principal creditor (20), likely from Taunton and who in 1699 married Hannah Sprackett of Carhampton (21). In turn, Mr. Darch was succeeded by the Rev. Jonathan Hall, apparently a well-read cleric, who prescribed to Gentleman's Magazine and "Sermons and Tracts: Being the Posthumous Works of the Late Reverend Mr. Henry Groves of Taunton, in Four Volumes"--all delivered to him at Croydon. Rev. Hall died 18 September 1766 (22).

In "HISTORY OF THE HUNDRED OF CARHAMPTON", James Savage contended that Rev. Hall, at his death gave Croydon to the "Clarkes of Bridwell House, near Uffculm, Devon". Croyden become a tenant farm, with the tenancy usually including the out-farms, Combe, Nurcombes or Little Beazley (23). Croydon was sold around 1826 when the current owner, John Clark( or Clarke), lost money in a banking crisis (24). Savage wrote the sale occurred "about three years " before the 1830 publication of his book. The new owner was Robert Hole the younger, (1787-1867) who lived at Harwood Farm (25), a member of the Hole family that purchased over a third of the lands of Timberscombe Parish by the mid 19th century (26), creating what became known as the Knowle Estate. In 1832, Mr. Hole leased Croydon to James and Edward Cording, a tenancy that lasted for over fifty years (27).

The brothers, James and Edward Cording were born respectively in 1793 and 1801 to John and Jane (nee Newland) Cording in Bathealton, Somerset (28). Edward married Mellony Townsend on 1 January 1824 at Culmstock, Devon (29). The first of their ten children, John was born in Upton, Somerset. Their second child, Jane, was born and baptised in 1827 at Huish Champflower, Somerset. The next two children were Mary, born 1829 and William, born 1831. Some sources have these children also born in Upton but at the time of their baptisms Edward and Mellony may have had a house in Kingsbrompton (later renamed Brompton Regis). Likely the family moved often with Edward working from one farm to the next. However, by the 1834 birth of Edward and Mellony's next son, James (30), the family was able to settle in at Croydon, with Edward working alongside his older brother, James.

Besides farming, the brothers were also builders, creating the mill waterwheel at Croydon, described as "a cold job on a winter's night" (31). They are best remembered in Timberscombe for building what became known as Providence Chapel, a Bible Christian Church situated on a steep slope on the southern edge of the village where Church Street junctions with Willow View Lane, opening on the 27th of March 1836. At about the same time, the brothers completed a cottage, which became known as The Knapp (32), just across Church Street. Edward Cording was also a preacher and it is thought that he planned to become a minister at the new chapel and live with his wife and children at The Knapp.

At the age of 42, his older brother, James, died at the end of the same year the chapel was created (33). Their father, John Cording had passed away in 1830 (34), before his sons came to Croydon. Their mother, Jane had lived with them at Croydon and died in 1835 (35). On the 3rd of January 1837, James was buried with his mother at St. Petrock's Church in Timberscombe (36), immediately north to the chapel and The Knapp.

Edward continued his work at Croydon until 1876, although he also built another cottage semi-detached to The Knapp. Now known as the Knapp Cottages, in later years the second cottage was named Higher Ledge. It was built by Edward as a manse, a place for the men to live, who did come to preach at Providence Chapel (37). Sadly, also in 1876, part of the garden wall at Croydon collapsed, killing Mellony Cording (38). Edward retired and at last came to live at the Knapp, but was likely there alone (39).

During their fifty years at Croydon, the Cording brothers brought about several new farm buildings, including a cow and calf house and a Waggon House at the entrance to the farmyard (40). The Cording era did not end with the retirement of Edward Cording. In 1872, the eighth child of Edward and Mellony Cording, Edwin Cording, married Sarah Ann Bowering of Wootton Courtenay and a member of the Bowering family that had farmed East Harwood since at least 1841 (41). After the departure of his father, Edwin and Sarah Ann moved into Croydon and took over the farming (42). Especially before Providence Chapel was built, Croydon had always been a safe location for the Bible Christians to meet for fellowship, as well providing lodging for their travelling preachers (43). This continued during the time of Edwin and Sarah Ann Cording and indeed when the 1881 Census was taken, William Henry Webber, a Bible Christian Minister was listed at Croydon as "Visitor". When Edward Cording died at The Knapp in Timberscombe on the 10th of June 1886, his sole executor was "Edwin Cording of Croydon" (44).

Also listed at Croydon on the 1881 Census was James Edwin Butland, a farmer originally from Cornworthy, Devon, along with his wife, Eliza (nee Clatworthy) Butland, born in Cutcombe and their two young daughters, Elizabeth Ann and Emma Jane. It is not clear if they were living in a section of the main house or (more likely) were in separate housing on the farm. The Butland family also had a visitor on the day the census was taken, William Clatworthy, Eliza's 18-year-old brother, currently apprenticed to learn how be a cordwainer (a shoemaker working with leather). On the 1891 Census, James and Eliza were still at Croydon, joined by two more children, Alfred James and Beatrice May. By 1901, James, Eliza and all four children had emigrated to Canada (45).

Before the 1891 Census, Edwin and Sarah Ann Cording had moved on to Wick St. Lawrence in North Somerset and Croydon was occupied by 29-year-old David James Tapp and 32-year-old Mary Jane Tapp. Both were from Winsford and they were basically newlyweds, having married on the 23rd of October 1890 (46). Mary Jane did not have to change her surname as her husband's father was the father of her father (47). Their time at Croydon was not long. When their daughter, Olive Florence was baptised at St, Mary Magdalene at Winsford in 1892, they were living in Brushford, the hamlet adjacent to Dulverton, just as they were in 1894 and 1897 when Mary Elizabeth and Maud were born (48). Sadly, Mary Jane Tapp died in 1900 and was buried at Winsford (49). On the 1901 Census, David James Tapp, taking along his three young daughters, had begun farming at Highercombe, a large Georgian farm on Room Hill Road, situated between Winsford Hill and Dulverton. In 1911 Tapp married Audrey Marguerite Louise Stirling Dickinson in Dorset--which (perhaps unsurprisingly) did not last (50). By the 1939 England and Wales Register, David Tapp martial status was "Divorced" and he was living at Beech Park Farm, adjacent to Highercombe with two of his daughters, Elizabeth and Maud. At his death in 1949, David Tapp was buried in Winsford Cemetery with Mary Ann (51).

On the 1901 Census, Croydon was listed as "Not in Occupation". By 1910, the estate of Croydon included the farm of Bougham, Combe and Little Beazley. At some point before the 2nd of February 1909 and while still owned by the trustees of the Hole family (52), Croydon was leased to John Purchase (1875-1957) and occupied by him and his wife, Bessie Ann (nee Thorne) and their six children (53). Three more children would be born at Croydon. Originally from North Molton, the Purchase family was at Croydon at least until June 1925, when their youngest son, Dennis George, enrolled at Timberscombe School (54). On the 1939 England and Wales Register, the family had relocated to Westland Pound Farm in Kentisbury, Devon where Bessie Ann died in 1945 and John died in 1957 (55).

Croydon was purchased in 1927 by Fred Beadle (56). Born at Erith, Kent in 1872, Mr. Beadle was son of Frances (Frank) John Beadle, who made his fortune as a Coal Merchant (57). By the 1891 Census, Fred Beadle listed himself as a "Commercial Traveler" and in 1911 as a "Director of Companies". He married Ethel Marion Norris in Erith (58) and before World War I, had purchased 1 Queens Gate in Kensington as their London home (59) and Stowey, just south of Timberscombe--where Mrs. Beadle passed away in 1923 (60). Fred married Suzanne Bechely-Crundall, an artist, two years before he purchased Croydon, as well as properties at Hole's Square in Timberscombe and Beasley Farm (61).

A herdsman originally from Tipperary, Ireland, John Wilfred Thackrah (62) was living and working at Croydon in the mid-1930s. He had married Margaret Grace Philp at Liskeard, Cornwall in 1933, where their first daughter, Margaret Patricia, was born the same year. Their second daughter, Barbara, was born in the Williton District of Somerset (which includes Croydon) in October 1935 (63) and both girls enrolled at Timberscombe School in August 1939, with their father listing Croydon as their address. They had a short stay at the school with the family returning to Cornwall as World War II intensified (64), and where Mr. and Mrs. Thackrah remained until their respective deaths in 1996 and 1979 (65).

During the war, several other children were evacuated to Croydon, including June, Peter and Michael Perfect, David and Josephine Hopkins and Peter Wilmore (all from Erith, Kent) and Maureen and Edwin Gande and Gwendoline, Pamela and Alwyn Tregidgo, from West Ham, Essex (66).

Fred Beadle had moved from Stowey to Clouds, a house in Cowbridge, northeast of Timberscombe, in 1943 (67) after selling his estate to Eric William Towler, who had been born at Yorkshire in 1900 (68). During this time period, the Mr.Beadle's former estate included not only Croydon but also Timberscombe Common, Stowey, Beasley, Bougham and Great House Farm, on the southern edge of Timberscombe. This large estate was split up after the war. Much of Croydon Farm's land became part of Beasley, while Croydon retained the bulk of Bougham and Timberscombe Common (69). Mr. Beadle's final Somerset home was the listed Willett House, built c. 1816 at Elsworthy (70). He died in April 1959 (71). Mr. Towler was awarded the CBE in 1971 for his work as the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the United Oxford Hospitals. He passed away on 29 December 1987 and was buried at St. Petrock's in Timberscombe (72). Coincidentally his home, at the time of his death, was Willett House (73).

After Mr. Towler sold the estate, Croydon, was owned by the Phillips family and Ivor Smith. Croydon was purchased by the Fuller family in 1958, who lived and ran the farm until 2000 (74).

Leonard Cecil Fuller was born in 1906, into a farming family at Suffolk (75). In 1929 he married Lillian Travis in Ormskirk, Lancashire (76), the county where Lillian was born in 1900. They remained in Lancashire, with Leonard identifying himself on the 1939 Register as a Nurseryman and Market Gardener and somewhat unusually for the time, Lillian was listed as a Paid Gardener and Heavy Worker. At this time, she was also the mother of three sons born in Ormskirk, Andrew in 1932, Geoffrey in 1933 and Gordon, born in 1935 (77).

Lillian Fuller passed away in 1984 and Leonard Fuller died in 1991. They are buried together at St. Petrock's (78). Geoffrey, better known as Geoff, lived and worked at Croydon for 40 years. In 1960 he married Doreen M. Coward in Barnstaple, the daughter of Robert William and Ivy Florence Mary (nee Rich) Coward, who married in 1936 (79). Mr. Coward was a Cowman and Farm Labourer, working in South Molton, Devon (80) before coming to the Timberscombe area. He and his wife are also buried at St. Petrock's (81). Another Coward family had a connection to Croydon, as by 1944 Raymond J. and Gladys D. (nee Williams) Coward were living and working at Croydon farm, with their son, Stanley, attending Timberscombe School. They arrived at Croydon from Dulverton and later moved to Withypool (82).

When Croydon was bought by Dr. John and Pippa Prideaux in April 2000, the retiring Geoff Fuller wrote down for Dr. Prideaux a list of accomplishments and alterations achieved at the farm during the time his family was in residence. In December 2021, Dr. Prideaux recalled Mr. Fuller as "extremely helpful in answering lots of questions". Geoff Fuller's list included the re-roofing of the former Fold House as a pole barn, creating a new pole barn alongside the garden wall to store fertiliser, laying a new floor in the old stable for bag corn drying, erecting a large concrete cubicle shed and building a new milking parlour and cow kennels (83). Geoff and Doreen Fuller moved to Periton Road in Minehead (84).

In the first ten years of the new 21st century, John and Pippa Prideaux undertook their own restorations at Croydon, described in recent editions of "THE BUILDINGS OF ENGLAND, SOMERSET: NORTH AND SOUTH" as exemplary. Pevsner cited their work was with the aid of Nick Mahlich and architect Louise Crossman, with Dr. Prideaux writing in 2021 that "there was lots of others that could have been mentioned". Two new bays were built atop former foundations, making Croydon --after perhaps 200 years of occasionally being referred to as incomplete or unbalanced-- truly and "properly symmetrical" (85).
