The Aftermath of the Fire at Stowey Farm on the 4th of June 1948
Subject
Description
Three black and white photographs taken by R. Kingsley Tayler of the aftermath of a major fire in the early morning of the 4th of June 1948 at the historic Stowey Farmhouse (1). A subsequent headline of the Somerset County Herald read "WEST SOMERSET MANSION DAMAGED" and further away, The Yorkshire Observer described the event as "THE BEAUTIFUL SOMERSET HOMESTEAD" that was "GUTTED BY FIRE".
The three photographs were shared in 2022 by Hilary Ruth Aston (nee Maltin) Humphreys (better known simply as "Ruth") and her son, Rev. Stephen Humphreys. Ruth and her husband, Anthony Frederick Humphreys, had purchased Stowey Farm in 1961. The owner of Stowey Farm in 1948 had been Eric William Towler. The top photograph, depicting a firefighter on the smoking remains of a thatched roof, was stamped on its reverse with "R. Kingsley Tayler, The Avenue, Minehead, phone 345" but all three photographs are recognisable as Mr. Tayler's work. The third photograph gives a better indication that practically no actual roof survived on the farmhouse. The second photograph had "7 June 1948" inked on the reverse. Stephen Humphrey, assistant priest at Selworthy Church, identified the handwriting as that of his father, who had been a Churchwarden at St. Petrock's at Timberscombe and who passed away in February 2019. Likely it was not until the third day after the fire that a photographer was able to approach the still smouldering ruins.
While only a couple of miles south of Timberscombe, Stowey Farm is in the Parish of Cutcombe with post-medieval origins, appearing in the Somerset Domesday Book as "Estaweit". Becoming known as "Stowey in Cutcombe" its lands extended past the site of the current Stowey Farm, including Stowey Wood and Kersham Wood to its west and Old Stowey Farm and Old Stowey Wood to its southeast, comprised of a multitude of structures including cottages, barns and various farming buildings, as well as meadows, orchards, and ponds (2). In his classic "History of the Hundred of Carhampton", published in 1830, James Savage wrote of Stowey Farmhouse as the home of the prosperous Edbrooke family from the later 17th century until the death of Robert Edbrooke on the 17th of July 1836 (3). His son, Nathaniel Edbrooke, seems to have chosen not to live at Stowey Farm but retained ownership (4). Stowey Farm was leased to various farming families who oversaw the estate, with some of the other properties let as residences but were largely inhabited by agricultural labourers and their families (5).
By the 1891 Census, the farmhouse at Stowey was occupied by the family of Edwin and Elizabeth (nee Gold) Thorne. He was originally from a farming family in North Molton, Devon, while Mrs. Thorne was raised in Somerset at Exton. Edwin Thorne died in 1905, when two of his sons, William and Louis, were named as his executors (6), with Elizabeth designated as "Head of Household" (7). Mrs. Thorne passed away in 1911 (8).
Described as a "Valuable Freehold Estate", Stowey Farm and its 344 acres was offered for sale by auction, held at the Luttrell Arms Hotel on Monday, the 30th of June 1919. Anyone who wished to view the estate in advance was advised to "apply to Mr. THORNE, the Tenant" (9). This was likely Louis Thorne. By then his brother, William, was farming Lower House Farm at Cutcombe, just west of Stowey Farm. After the auction, Louis Thorne would successfully farm Great House Farm in Timberscombe until his death in 1952 (10). He was likely the last occupant of the Stowey Farmhouse to list his occupation simply as "Farmer".
At the age of 19, Fred Beadle, of Erith, Kent, described himself as a "Commercial Traveller "(11). By the 1911 Census, when he was 39-years-old, Beadle was listed as a "Director of Companies", which included coal mining, shipping and the production of concrete (12). He and his wife, Ethel Marion (nee Norris) Beadle, also from Erith, Kent and the daughter of a silk merchant (13) were the purchasers of Stowey Farm at the 1919 auction, paying £4,500 as well as an extra £201 15s " for timber" (14). Stowey Farm was to be their country home, as Mr. and Mrs. Beadle already owned a house in London, 1 Queens Gate in Kensington, at the head of a terraced row (15).
The Sales Particulars, at the time of the auction, already defined the farmhouse at Stowey Farm as well situated and "in good repair", with a sitting room, a parlour, a large front kitchen, six bedrooms and three staircases. In 2022, Stephen Humphreys and his mother, Ruth, credited Fred Beadle for connecting the existing farmhouse to another house and shed, ultimately creating a celebrated manor house--indeed one that could be called a "Mansion" in the later headlines. Ironically the Sales Particulars also described the 1919 farmhouse as "stone built and slated", surrounded by other buildings, "all built of stone with slate roofs". Perhaps to make their country home more "country", Mr. and Mrs. Beadle (or their successor, Eric Towler) exchanged the slates on the roof with thatch--that in 1948 burned so completely.
Ethel Beadle died at Stowey Farm, aged 53, on the 29th of April 1923 (16). On the 25th of January 1925, Fred Beadle married a 20-year-old artist, Suzanne Bechley-Crundall from Hampstead, London. (17). At Stowey Farm, she soon set up a studio adjacent to the farmhouse (18).
With the approach of World War II, Stowey Farm became more of a full-time home for Fred and Suzanne Beadle, as well as their staff (19). On the 18th of October 1939, the Court Circular Column of Buckingham Palace in The Times, reported that Mr. and Mrs. Beadle had left 1 Queens Gate for 15 Grosvenor Square, London but their permanent address would be "Stowey Farm, Timberscombe, Minehead". However in January 1943, Beadle sold Stowey Farm to Eric William Towler and had moved to Clouds, on Cowbridge Road, northeast of Timberscombe (20).
Mr. Towler was born in Adwalton ,Yorkshire (21). During World War I, Towler served with the Royal Navy Reserves (22), after which he invested his complete savings in a small coal sales business, ultimately becoming a leader in the rapidly growing steel industry (23). In 1921, he married Isabel Edith Ina (the name she used) Hemsworth in Derbyshire (24) and by 1926 was the father of two sons, Derek Gordon and Eric John, and a daughter named Deirdra Margaret but known as Peggie. The family settled at Tong Hall, a Grade I Listed building built in 1702 at Tong, near Bradford and the headquarters of Dorman, Long and Co., Ltd. , the steel producing company where Towler was "Mines Director" (25). In 3 May 1943, Peggie died of polio at the age of 17 (26), a tragedy that spurred Eric Towler to quickly uproot himself and his remaining family to West Somerset and Stowey Farm. The move included his daughter as on 7 May 1943, Peggie was buried at St. Petrock's in a service officiated by Rev. G.H. Steven, the Vicar at Tong, coming to Timberscombe. Obviously this was an emotionally charged change for the entire Towler family (27).
Somerset may have been what Eric Towler needed. Also well-known as a breeder and exhibitor of farm stock (28), it seems Towler now wished to concentrate on that side of his life. For the rest of his years, he returned there almost every spring to hunt (29). However within five years, Stowey Farm (now with 550 acres) was back on the market, as seen in a real estate listing in the 16th of April 1948 issue of Country Life (visible at SP-273). In a memoriam, written within a month after Mr. Towler's death in December 1987, a close friend wrote the "fringes of Exmoor" were one of "his lasting loves" but did not like the local "style of farming" (30). His marriage also was unraveling (31).
Certainly a fire, such as seen in R. Kingsley's Tayler's photographs, would never be welcomed but seems to have been especially terrible timing for Towler (and his family). The newspaper coverage sited that the blaze was fought by brigades from Minehead, Williton, Dulverton and Taunton, as well as " Mr. Towler and his staff, aided by prisoners of war". They were all hampered by a strong wind. "Polish Labour and employees of neighbouring farms" also helped and rescued some smaller furniture, carpets and silver. Larger and more valuable furniture was lost, including properties which "Mr. Towler took with him from Tong Hall" and an antique four-poster bed. The Yorkshire Observer ended its coverage with "only recently Mr. Towler had decided to sell Stowey Farm, which consisted of 2,000 acres (likely inflated), half of which he had farmed himself" (32).
Eric William Towler did go on to own another farm, Harnage, an estate in South Shropshire (33). A second marriage did not last but a third did and and he had three more sons after the age of 64 (34). They all settled in Glympton, Oxfordshire, where Towler became the director of the Nuffield, the Radcliffe and the United Oxford Hospitals, for which he was awarded the CBE in 1971 (35). His final home though was back in West Somerset, where he lived at Willet House in Elsworthy--which was also the final home of Fred Beadle (36). And Eric William Towler was buried at St. Petrock's Church in Timberscombe in a separate grave from his daughter. In July 1952, Ina Towler has married Mr. Herbert Brooks in Ealing, Middlesex (37). She died in 1977 and she too returned to Timberscombe and was buried as Ina Brooks in the same grave as Peggie Towler (37).
R. Kingsley Tayler (1905-1979) was a commercial, portrait and newspaper photographer who around 1939 opened his own studio at 11 The Avenue, Minehead (38). He is considered one of the finest photographers who worked in West Somerset (as the top photograph here certainly attests). The fourth photograph of Stowey Farmhouse, in colour, was one of two taken on the 14th of May 2017, titled "West Somerset: Stowey Farm". It was taken, copyrighted and shared by Lewis Clarke. Mr. Clarke's version was almost photographed from the same angle of the third photograph by Mr. Tayler, amply demonstrating that the Stowey Farm (or Manor) house recovered--albeit with a slate roof.
The three photographs were shared in 2022 by Hilary Ruth Aston (nee Maltin) Humphreys (better known simply as "Ruth") and her son, Rev. Stephen Humphreys. Ruth and her husband, Anthony Frederick Humphreys, had purchased Stowey Farm in 1961. The owner of Stowey Farm in 1948 had been Eric William Towler.
