The Old Mill as Photographed by R. Kingsley Tayler
Subject
Description
The three photographs above were taken by R. Kingsley Tayler, depicting Timberscombe's Old Mill and the area in front of it. It is not clear when the photographs were taken, but long after the former corn mill was converted to a private residence. The photographs were shared by Richard and Marion Jeffrey, who purchased the Old Mill in May 2010, only the fourth set of occupants to use it solely as a home. They inherited the photographs from Graham and Barbara Stock, who in October 1991 had bought the Old Mill from the Ray family, who almost exactly sixty-six years earlier, in October 1925, had paid £310 to purchase it (1). In 2020, Marion Jeffrey suspected that either Frederick Lambert Ray or his son, Ernest (Ernie) Lambert Ray, had hired R. Kingsley Tayler-- perhaps in the 1960's or the 1970's-- possibly to document their ownership of the land in front of the mill, perhaps where the distinctive chicken houses are placed in these photographs.
On the top photograph, the peaks of the three gabled chicken houses are seen over the top of the hedge (cut back in these photographs) that separates the area in front of the mill from the field called John's Field, where R. Kingsley Tayler would have been standing to take this photograph. It is possible Mr. Tayler's photographs were taken earlier than the 1960's, as the chicken houses are also evident in a photograph at SP-016, which may have been taken as early as 1948 (2). Regardless of the dates, it is interesting to see the top photograph here, compared to two other photographs of the Old Mill's front facade at SP-017. One is thought to have been taken between 1883 to 1897 and the other was taken in 2021, both of them perhaps around 70 years before and after the photograph here. On the oldest photograph, the building is rendered and a mill shaft is seen to the left--but basically (and refreshingly) the exterior of this historic building is little changed.
The mill was well established around 1800 and on the site of earlier mills and other structures that were at least post-medieval (3). Even older is the body of water evident in the second photograph, the ancient Churnet Ford, with its' walkway crossing over the Churnet, the stream that flows from Croydon Hill through Timberscombe to the River Avill (4). The ford was part of a medieval route, now designated a bridle pathway and described in "THE VILLAGE OF TIMBERSCOMBE AND ITS CHURCH", by B.L.K. Henderson and G.O.E. Henderson, as traveled by both pilgrim and tramp, who would have heard the "clack" of an old corn mill, "the one near the Church" (5). At the Churnet Ford, the pathway is marked by an older Exmoor-styled sign, with burned-in carved lettering reading "Restricted Byway Church". Somewhat evident on the third photograph is the partially cobbled pathway which continues to and past the mill, leading travelers to steep stone steps (visible on the 2021 photograph at SP-017), rising to Church Street and to the southern churchyard entrance of St. Petrock's Church.
In 1767 William Baker inherited the mill--it would not be known as "Old Mill" until it was offered as a residence-- from his father, John Baker, probably the Mr. John Baker who was buried at St. Petrock's on 10 April 1763 (6). William Baker was certainly not the actual miller. On a list dated 1783 and titled "Tything of Timberscombe" and under the heading of "Names of Proprietors Vis: those to whom the freehold belongs", Mr. Baker owned ten properties, including Bougham, Well and "parts of Haywards", none of which were his personal domicile (7). The same was true for the next owner of the mill, Montague Bere Baker Bere, Esq. , who actually lived at Morebath, Devon. After his death in 1804, Mr. Bere's lengthy will, probated on 12 April 1804, included various Timberscombe properties, including the mill (8). This would not be surprising as Mr. Bere was baptised on the 23rd of May 1774 at Timberscombe, as Montague Baker, the son of William Baker and his wife, Ann (9), the daughter of Davy Bere, Esq., of Morebath (10). Montague then assumed the surname and arms of Bere by Royal License. When he was 17, Montague Bere Baker Bere entered Trinity Hall College at Cambridge, by which time his father was listed as "William (Baker), Esq., deceased of Timberscomb (as spelled), Somerset" (11).
John Bellew was born c. 1789 in Yarnscombe, Devon (12) and married Elizabeth Blackmore at Timberscombe in 1813 (13). At his daughter's baptism at Timberscombe in 1826, John Bellew's profession was listed as "miller" (14)--although he also identified elsewhere as a carpenter. Nevertheless, five years later, Mr. Bellew purchased the mill for £355 (15) and an actual miller became the owner. On the 1832 Poll Book and Electoral Register, Mr. Bellew's home was identified as "Timberscombe-mills", just as it was also listed on England's first census in 1841. On the second and third photographs, the eastern side of a tall white building is visible. A concrete and stone patio extends from its' ground level, partly obscured by the chicken houses. Perched on the steep slope of the land just east of Church Street, this structure was built in 1836 as the Bible Christian Church, also known as Providence Chapel (16). The land was given by John Bellew and on the 1843 Tithe Map, when the building was identified as "Wesleyan Chapel", the property was still listed as owned and occupied by Mr. Bellew. His wife, Elizabeth, had died, aged 47, in 1833 (17) and by 1851, John Bellew remarried and had relocated to Bristol, where he died in 1862 (18). In 1907 the Bible Christian Church became part of the United Methodist Church. As the Timberscombe Methodist Church, a final service was held on the 18th of August 2019 (19). In 2021, the structure was purchased by Richard and Marion Jeffrey.
Born 1831 (20) in Sampford Arundel, Somerset, by the 1861 Census John Townsend listed his occupation as "Butcher & Miller", living at the mill with his wife Betsy (nee Dascombe) Townsend, an infant daughter and three young sons, the youngest being Thomas Townsend, aged three--who would eventually be the last to live at the mill as a mill. In 1881, John Townsend appears to have chosen a change of direction and was farming 78 acres at "Farm House" in Timberscombe (21) and by 1883, George Morgan had purchased the mill (22). A widower, he moved in with his daughter, Clara Jane Morgan, listed as his "Housekeeper" (23). Mr. Morgan died in February 1897 (24) and that same year, his daughter was identified as "miller" in the current Kelly's Directory. Within two years, 46-year-old Clara Jane Morgan married 41-year-old Thomas Townsend (25), the former three-year-old living at the mill. Clara Jane continued to be listed as the miller in the 1906 and 1910 Kelly's Directories--although she had died 4 July 1909 (26). Thomas Townsend listed his profession as "butcher", while continuing at the mill until his death on 31 August 1916 (27). Mr. Townsend was buried at St. Petrock's with his "Beloved Wife", Clara Jane (28).
The mill was inherited by James Morgan, a cousin of George Morgan. It was offered for sale at auction on 7 February 1917, where it was headlined as "THE OLD MILL TIMBERSCOMBE"(29). Perhaps there were no satisfactory bids as the mill was (or soon would be) inhabited by William and Fanny (nee Chave, previously Prescott) Pyne, the first occupants to live here solely as a residence. From at least 1894 to either 1907 or 1908, Mr. and Mrs. Pyne had been the innkeepers of Timberscombe's The Rose and Crown, a public house on Brook Street (30). In 1915, for unclear reasons , the pub had lost it's license and closed (31). About the same time that Mr. and Mrs. Pyne came to stay at the Old Mill, their youngest daughter, Beatrice Ann Marie (nee Pyne) Hole was converting the former Rose and Crown to a temperance hotel, later becoming an apartment house, both known as Rosemont (32). Her husband, Charles Hole, born in Timberscombe in 1884 (33), was serving in World War I with the Somerset Light Infantry. On 10 July 1918, Pvt. Hole was discharged because of "Disability"and his home address was listed as "The Mill", in Timberscombe (34). Possibly, with changes taking place at Rosemont, Beatrice and her husband were at times staying with her parents at The Old Mill.
Also staying with William and Fanny Payne at the Old Mill, for about six months, possibly in 1919, were two of their grand-daughters. Their eldest daughter, Mehrab and her husband, Gilbert Westcott, were living at the time at Puddington, Devon with six daughters. Lucy May, born in 1911 and Ena Lillian, born in 1913, came temporarily to Timberscombe to attend Timberscombe School while their family moved from Puddington to Witheridge, Devon. On 10 March 2022, Mr. David McCluskey, the son of Lucy, recalled that this had been a happy time for his mother and Aunt Ena and they especially enjoyed hearing the gentle sounds of the Churnet Ford from the Old Mill. An anecdote that they told was hearing a "well-to-do, rather pompous boy, who had fallen in the stream and was heard to cry. "Pull me out, Mr Gooding, father'll pay!"
William Pyne died on the 17th of April 1925 and was buried at St. Petrocks (35). As stated above, in October of the same year, James Morgan sold The Old Mill to the Ray family. (Fanny Pyne died and was buried with her husband in 1930 (36)--perhaps Beatrice Hole had a room at Rosemont for her mother in her final years). Born in Westfield, Sussex in 1880, Frederick Lambert Ray had worked as a Builder and a Carpenter (37). He married his first wife, Flora Kate Potter in 1902 (38) at Eastbourne, who died in September 1908 (39). Still in Eastbourne, Mr. Ray married Edith Brain in 1911 (40).
On the 5th of November 1911, their son, Ernest Lambert Ray, was baptized at Weston on Green in Oxfordshire (41). At the time of the 1921 Census, the Ray family was closer to Timberscombe, living in Cutcombe. With the outbreak of World War II, in 1939 Ernie Ray was called up to the Medical Corp. He made it back to the Old Mill in 1941, to marry Kathleen Mary Prole, the daughter of Harry and Annie Maria (nee Wilsher) Prole, born in Timberscombe in 1913, the ninth of ten children (42). Kathleen was apparently much on her own with her in-laws until 1947 when Ernie returned full-time from the Medical Corp (43). Frederick Lambert Ray and Edith Ray died respectively in 1976 and 1978 (44). Kathleen passed away on 17 November 1994 at Oak Lodge on Martlet Road in Minehead and Ernie died 22 January 1998. He and Kathleen are buried together at St. Petrock's Churchyard (45).
R. Kingsley Tayler was a commercial and portrait photographer, who also photographed for West Somerset newspapers. Tayler was born in November 1905 as Richard Kingsley Tayler, originally from Redruth, Cornwall (46). During 1935, he opened a photography studio at No. 11 The Avenue in Minehead, where he still worked and lived in 1971 (47). R .Kingsley Tayler died January 1979 (48). There is a fourth Tayler photograph, taken at the same session as these three photographs, shown at SP-232. On the bottom two photographs seen here, at the top of the pathway running past the left side of the Methodist Chapel, a large barn is visible across Church Street, as well as a gable roofed building, glimpsed past the chapel. This structure, unoccupied for many years, is visible on the 1843 Tithe Map of Timberscombe, when likely owned by John Bellew. The barn appeared on the 1921-1943 Ordnance Survey Map and both were used as farm buildings associated with Great House Farm (49). They still stand in modern times.
