Description
In her memoir, "AWAY & HOME-WORLD WAR II: Somerset and Essex, 1939-1945", Pat Herniman wrote about being evacuated, at the age of seven, from London in 1939 to stay with her grandparents, Harry and Annie (nee Wilsher) Prole at Kiln Farmhouse in Timberscombe. Among her earliest memories were "The Rev. Isidore Lach-Szyrma visited for occasional evening chats with Gran". Writing the book in 2016, Mrs. Herniman speculated "maybe he was a Polish refugee with an empathy for evacuees? (1)"
Yes and no. Rev. Philip Isidore Lach-Szyrma (his full name) was indeed of Polish heritage but both he and his father were born in England. His father's father was not so much an evacuee as he was a refugee. And perhaps young Pat Robinson (Mrs. Herniman's name at the time) would have been surprised just how distinguished were the backgrounds of these men.
Isidore Lach-Szyrma's grandfather was Krystyn Lach Szyrma (1790-1866), a well known Polish writer and a soldier holding the rank of a Colonel. He was also Professor of Philosophy at the Warsaw University, a position he was holding on the 29th of November 1830, when young Polish officers rebelled against the Russian Empire in an uprising known as the November Rising or the Cadet Polish-Russian War. A leader of the rebellion was Krystyn Lach Szyrma. After some early successes, the uprising was crushed by the Russian Imperial Army, with the result that Poland lost its autonomy and was absorbed into the Russian Empire. By 1832, Warsaw University was shuttered but by then Professor Lach Szyrma had been forced to flee his country, eventually arriving in Edinburgh. Later, visiting Plymouth, he met and married Sarah Frances Field Somerville (1802-1869). Their son, Wladyslaw Somerville Lach Szyrma was born on Christmas Day, 1841 in the village of Davenport (which later became a district of Plymouth). Krystyn Lach Szyrma remained active as a journalist and a translator, often reporting on or translating publications from Poland. The third photograph depicts a portrait made of Krystyn Lach Szyrma around 1830, so likely not long before he left his country (2).
With an English mother and a Polish father, Wladyslaw Somerville Lach-Syzrma (he hyphenated the family surname) not only spoke both languages but was fluent in French as well. As a young man he wrote poetry and at Brasenose College Oxford studied the Classics, earning his MA in 1861. In 1865 Lach-Szyrma was ordained as an Anglican minister and accepted a curacy at Pensilva, Cornwall , followed by a series of ministries including St. Ives, Lydford, St. Paul's at Truro and a chaplaincy of Court Church in Paris (3). He had an early marriage, where his wife died. At Brighton, in 1864, Wladyslaw married Rosina Atkinson (4). They had 13 children, of which Philip Isidore Lach-Szyrma was the third. "Philip" was the the name of his mother's father (5).
By 1875, Wladyslaw Lach-Szyrma came to be vicar of St. Peter's Church at Newlyn near Penzance, choosing it over more prestigious offers. Being here, besides ministering, he was in the midst of where he wanted to write about the history and antiquities of Cornwall--which he did prolifically (6). Also, while at St. Peter's, he became a pioneer writer of science fiction. Indeed Wladyslaw Lach-Szyrma is credited with the first use of "Martian" as a noun in his 1883 book, Aleriel or Voyage to Other Worlds, where the main character, Aleriel, pretended to be a hunchback to obscure his wings (7). Described as a "minor forerunner to C S Lewis", at his death at Essex in 1915, with the success of both sort of books, Rev. Lach-Szyrma had become a much wealthier man than most clergymen (8). His photograph is the second, between his son and father.
Born in January 1870, Philip Isidore Lach-Szyrma was baptised by his father during his time at St. Paul's Church in Truro (9). Isidore (the name that he seem to favour) may have moved around a lot during his childhood, considering how many churches his father served but by October 1889, he was attending Keble College Oxford, having previously attended the Sutton Valence School, a prestigious boarding school near Maidstone in southeast, England, established in 1576 (10). In Oxford he received his MA in Theology and Isidore's first church position was as curate at St. Luke's in Barrow, Lancashire from 1893 to 1895 (11). In 1895, Lach-Szyrma moved on to Stroud, Gloucestershire, where two districts, Slad and Uplands, had separate churches that were served by one vicar, the newly appointed Rev. John Bevan. Lach-Szyrma was curate under Bevan at the Slad church where he stayed until 1902 (12). Likely he was involved with both churches yet Isidore Lach-Szyrma's time here sounds rather lonely, living--in the Uplands district- at a furnished bed and sitting room on the first and ground floor (13).
Clearly 1902 was a year of great change for 32-year-old Philip Isidore Lach-Szyrma. On the 11th of April it was announced that King Edward VII had been "pleased, by Letters Patent under the Great Seal, to present the Rev. Philip Isidore Lach-Szyrma to the vicarage of Aldborough Hatch, in the county of Essex", concluding that this was "his Majesty's gift in full right" (14).
Aldborough Hatch, Essex was (and is) part of Ilford, on the eastern outskirts of London and in the Borough of Redbridge. Also in the Borough of Redbridge --just a mile or so from Aldborough Hatch--was Barkingside, also in the county of Essex. Serving as vicar at Holy Trinity in Barkingside since 1888 was Wladyslaw Somerville Lach-Szyrma, Isidore's influential father. While he continued to write about and maintain his contacts in Cornwall, Wladyslaw and Rosina Lach-Szyrma left there after the death of three of their children between 1879 and 1887 (15). While strings may have been pulled, Rev. Isidore Lach-Szyrma would remain and served as vicar at St. Peters's Church in Aldborough Hatch for around 30 years (16).
On the 26th of April 1905, he returned to Lancashire, where he married Harriette Ellen Lister Hall at St. Mary's Church in Eccles (17). The wedding was widely covered in newspapers from Lancashire, London and Cornwall. The service was performed by Isidore's father and his best man was his younger brother, Percy Lach-Szyrma. Rosina Lach-Syrma presented drawing room chairs to her son and his wife. A detailed list of over 100 other gifts was published in the newspaper, with the first one being that the bridegroom gave the bride a silver card-case. A reception was held at the home of Harriette's brother, from which the newlyweds departed at mid-afternoon to leave for their honeymoon in Cornwall. Harriette Lach-Szyrma wore an "ermine fur"for the journey (18). Sadly she died on the 5th of May 1909, with her husband and at the Vicarage in Aldborough Hatch (19).
Rev. Lach-Szyrma married again, at the age of 61, in June 1931 at the Portishead Parish Church in Somerset. His second wife was Elsie Rose Jackson, born and baptised at Barnstaple, Devon in 1886 (20). One of the two ministers that officiated the ceremony was Rev. Leonard Jackson, the brother of the bride. At the conclusion of the wedding, the couple passed through a honour guard of local Girl Guides, as Miss Jackson had been their commissioner. In their coverage of the wedding on June 11 1931, the Western Daily Press reported that the bridegroom had recently been appointed to be the rector of the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul at Weston-in-Gordano, a small Somerset village between Clevedon and Portishead (21). It is not clear when Lach -Szyrma left Aldborough Hatch. He was reported to still be the vicar there in September 1931 when the Rev. John Bevan,--who Isidore curated under in Gloucestershire from 1895 to 1902-- died after 36 years of service at the Slad and Uplands Churches. Rev. Lach-Szyrma sent regrets that he was not able to attend the funeral as he was needed at Aldborough Hatch to officiate at the funeral of one of his "old parishioners" (22). His wording suggests that he may have begun serving at Weston-in-Gardano.
At Timberscombe, on the cover of the October 1936 issue of St. Petrock's Church Parish Magazine, the space for the vicar's name was left empty (as seen at SP-215). On the reverse of the cover, a letter was printed, addressed to the congregation from Rev. George Pepys Whatley, who had arrived to serve St. Petrock's as vicar only the year before. Whatley wrote that this would be his last letter to them as-- to his regret-- he would be leaving Timberscombe after so short a stay. His doctors had warned him that if he continued as vicar, he would certainly suffer "a further break-down". Rev. Whatley had already stayed longer than he should and hoped that his congregation would welcome "his successor, Mr. Philip Isidore Lach-Szyrma" when he arrived.
Certainly George Pepys Whatley was not well. At a meeting of the Timberscombe School Managers on 26 June 1936, normally chaired by the vicar, it was noted he was "absent through serious illness"(23). Perhaps because of publication deadlines, Mr. Whatley's letter in the October edition of the parish magazine had been written earlier as Rev. and Mrs. Lach-Szyrma had indeed arrived. In Timberscombe School's Log Book, the Head Teacher, Kathleen A. Willis, wrote that the school was closed on the afternoon of 30 September 1936 "in order that it could be used for a tea to follow the Service of Induction of Rev. P. I. Lach-Schyrma as Vicar of Timberscombe" (24). (She had not yet mastered the spelling of the new vicar's surname). As their new Chairman, Isidore was welcomed by the School Managers for their 13 January 1937 meeting (25). However there is reason to suspect that Isidore Lach-Szyrma's original arrival had been delayed as he too had not been well.
Lach-Szyrma and his wife arrived at Timberscombe with the rumblings of a second World War increasing. He is not mentioned that much in the school's Log Book, although at the opening of a school year, as vicar, he would take Senior children for instruction in the Holy Communion Service and on occasion would be an invigilator for Scholarship Examinations (26). However by August 1939 he was missing important meetings and the Minute Book recorded "the absence of the Vicar owing to ill health was much regretted" (27). During September 1939, the school and all of Timberscombe was preparing for the first arrival of an unknown number of evacuee children from the London area, as well as some of their parents-- numbers that would indeed quickly double in the following weeks. The vicar wrote to the Education Authorities in Taunton, asking if there would be any financial aid for these unexpected expenses, such as black-out curtains, lodging and extra heating. He was turned down (28). There were also problems with the unsatisfactory condition of the school's playground and necessary repairs for the school lavatories, which fairly or not, was attributed to the vicar being too ill to communicate with the correct people (29).
He seemed better in the first months of 1940 but by June, Rev. Lach-Szyrma was again ill (30). On the 4th of July 1940, Philip Isidore Lach-Szyrma died at the Vicarage in Timberscombe (31). His funeral was held on the 8th and was attended by the Senior girls of Timberscombe School and the Boy's Choir members, likely conducted by Mrs. Willis (32). At the next meeting of the School Managers, held on the 15th of July, "Regret was expressed at the death of the late Vicar--Mr. Lach-Szyrma--whose kindliness & interest was much appreciated by all & deep sympathy was expressed for Mrs. Lach-Szyrma for her great loss (33)". Elsie Rose Lach-Szyrma returned to Devon where she lived in the village of Morchard Bishop but died in Shepton Mallet, Somerset at the Old Rectory Lamyatt on the 8th of February 1965 (34).
The Western Times newspaper recorded that the Rev. Philip Isidore Lach-Szyrma died "after a long illness at the age of 70". Heeding his doctor's advice, Rev. George Pepys lived until the age of 75 at Finchley, Middlesex, London (35).
Yes and no. Rev. Philip Isidore Lach-Szyrma (his full name) was indeed of Polish heritage but both he and his father were born in England. His father's father was not so much an evacuee as he was a refugee.
