East Harwood Cottages and Pero Cottage

East Harwood Cottages and Pero Cottage

The 1911 England Census listed the properties (and who was living in them) of the Parish of Timberscombe. Also published separately was the 1911 Summary Book, which listed the same properties together according to what Ecclesiastical Parish they were in--which indicated to what church the property's occupiers paid tithes. The bulk of the Timberscombe Parish listings, from No. 1, a "Private House" at the Cowbridge "Saw Mills", occupied by Mr. Brewer, to No. 67, Allercott, where Mr. Hosegood lived, were--as would be expected-- in the "Ecclesiastical Parish of Timberscombe, St. Michaels"--which was how St. Petrock's, the Timberscombe church was listed at the time. This included all of the houses in the village, including the two pubs, The Rose and Crown and Lion Inn, St. Petrock's Church itself, Hole's Square and most larger properties on western side of Timberscombe, such as Bickham Manor, Well Farm, Bench Farm and West Harwood Farm.

Properties numbered 71 to 81 were in the "Ecclesiastical Parish of Carhampton, St. John the Baptist". These eleven households were to the south of Timberscombe, such as Beasley and Croydon or east of the village, including Knowle House, Duddings, Totterdown and Kitswall Farm. Although on the edges of Timberscombe, historically they have been part of Carhampton--and at least they were somewhat in the direction of the village of Carhampton.

Only three properties were one page in the 1911 Summary Book, listed as being in the "Ecclesiastical Parish of Luccombe, St. Mary's". No. 68 was East Harwood Farm (pictured at SP-133). No. 69 was called "Harwood" and No. 70 was "Pero", respectively pictured here from right to left in the top aerial photograph.

Before 1883 the eleven Carhampton properties were not only considered to be ecclesiastically part of the Parish of Carhampton but were also were united with Carhampton for civil purposes, just as East Harwood Farm, the Harwood property and Pero, were civilly part of the Luccombe Parish. On the first British censuses, taken from 1841 to 1881, these fourteen properties were usually not included on the Timberscombe Census. For example, if searching to find out who lived at East Harwood Farm, one would look at the Luccombe Census--despite that village being over four miles away. Finally around 1883 all fourteen properties were re-designated as being part of the Timberscombe Parish for civil reasons but their Ecclesiastical associations remained intact until well past the 1911 Census (1).

It is generally accepted that the two buildings pictured in the top photograph were cottages associated with East Harwood Farm and indeed by the mid 1900's the larger building was (mostly) addressed as Nos. 1 and 2 East Harwood Cottages and more recently as East Harwood Cottage. It is believed to have been built (perhaps) in the early 1820s and does appear on the 1843 Tithe Map in its current location alongside Harwood Lane. The house that will later be called Pero is not yet constructed but does appear on the 1844 to 1888 Ordnance Survey Map. It and the larger house were each depicted as a rectangular single residence and the lettering on the map of "Harwood Cottages" may apply to both structures. By the 1894-1903 map, the larger property had been divided into two sections.

The Poll Books and Electoral Registers of the 1830's and 1840's indicate that "East Harwood" was owned by the Hon. Peter John Locke King, born 25 January in 1811 in Ockham, Surrey, the second son of Peter King, 7th Lord King of Ockham and Lady Hester Fortescue (3). Not being the first son, and so not likely to inherit in Surrey, King may have been looking for opportunities elsewhere, thus purchasing the Glebe Lands of St. Petrock's Church in Timberscombe and Bickham Manor, as well as East Harwood Farm (4). King's tenant at the latter was Robert White, born in Minehead in 1792 (5) and possibly already at East Harwood Farm by October 1822 when he married Elizabeth Birth, born in Timberscombe. Their wedding was not in Minehead nor Timberscombe but at St. Mary's in Luccombe (6). Nevertheless, by 1832 White was paying an annual rent of "£50 and upwards" for "East Harwood" (7). This likely included the two cottages pictured above as there is no separate mention of them.

Robert and Elizabeth White had four children and within days of each other, during October 1835, the youngest two daughters died, aged 3 and 5, perhaps a factor in leaving East Harwood Farm and moving into the village of Luccombe (8). During the 1840's and the first part the 1850's, the Bowering family, originally from Wootton Courtenay were leasing East Harwood Farm from Peter John Locke King. The Head of the household on the 1841 census was 61-year-old Thomas Bowering, who died in June of that year (9) and was succeeded by his 25-year-old son, also named Thomas.

Besides the Bowering's, listed on the 1841 Census as being at East Harwood Farm, were at least seven other people, including a nurse, three teenaged boys working as farm labourers and a toll house operator married to (but seemingly estranged from) the sister of the elder Thomas Bowering (10). Immediately below these names, on the same page of the census, were three families listed as living at (what seems to read) "Mahens Hole or Coles House". It is possible these are the two cottages pictured on the upper photograph, part of East Harwood Farm , although separated--- especially as one of the families is that of Thomas and Elizabeth (nee Pugsley) Court, along with their four children. Mr. and Mrs. Court (and two children yet to be born) will identified on the 1851 Census as being at "Harwood".

Clearly the Bowering family continued to occupy the main farmhouse at East Harwood Farm and the younger Thomas Bowering was still paying rent in 1846 to Peter John Lock King (11). Besides the family of Thomas and Elizabeth Court, two other families were at "Harwood" (as called on the 1851 Census), being that of George and Sarah (nee Rawle) Hole (with 5 children) and William and Betty Court (with two children and their own lodger, James Rossiter from Timberscombe). It seems likely that these farm labourers and their families were occupying the properties that will later be called Pero and the East Harwood Cottages.

By 1847 the Hon. Peter John Lock King had married in London and been elected as a Member of Parliament ---and had begun selling his Somerset properties (12). All of the East Harwood lands would become the property of the Townsend family for over the next 60 years. The first generation was headed by Henry Townsend, born in 1799 at Culmstock, Devon and pictured in the third photograph. In March 1826, Mr. Townsend married Eliza Baker (13), a member of the Cording family that established Providence Chapel, the Bible Christian Church In Timberscombe by 1836 (14). After successfully farming Bradford Farm in Witheridge, Devon (15) the Townsend family was established at East Harwood by 1854 when Thomas Townsend, the eldest of the ten Townsend children married Elizabeth Palfrey of Carhampton and their wedding record listed him as "farmer of East Harwood" (16).

The 1861 Census listed the farmhouse at East Harwood Farm as "Harwood", which was rather filled with the Townsend family. For the first time, another residence on the estate was given a name, being "East Harwood Cottage" and was occupied by the newly married James Baker (a nephew of Eliza Townsend)) and Martha (nee Harris) Baker (17). Their home could be one of the separate properties but could also be semi-detached to the farmhouse, where a guest cottage still exists with that name. Also listed on the census were two other East Harwood accommodations, numbered as "3" and "4" which housed respectively Thomas and Ann (nee Wood) Mogford (with their children, Elizabeth, Matthew, Emma and Maria ) and Jesse and Mary Lock (along with one daughter, Sarah and Mr. Lock's mother).

It is not until 1871 that variants of a name--that later will be an earlier name for Pero Cottage--was clearly given to the separate cottages. Yet it is still tricky to locate exactly where a family was living. "Knackers Hole" was applied to two distinct , apparently sem-detached, residences, numbered 4 and 5. The four older children of Thomas and Ann Mogford had moved along but their parents were still on the East Harwood estate with two new boys, John and William, born in Luccombe. They are in No. 5. Other new arrivals, William and Jane (nee Burge) Burge, respectively from Huish Champflower and Cutcombe, are there with four children and a lodger, at number 4. The cottage that is numbered 6 has the slightly different name of "Knackershole Cottage" and is occupied by Worthington and Ann (nee Sage) Davis, with their six children, arriving from Timberscombe. Just perhaps the Mogfords and the Burges are at what will later be No. 1 and No. 2 East Harwood Cottages, divided into two residences at this time. Perhaps the Davis clan are at the house that will become Pero.

On the 1881 Census for Luccombe, the listing for East Harwood Farm is marked with an asterisk (*) and is placed on a separate page with three other residences also marked with asterisks. The page was labelled "*East Harwood. The Houses on this page are amalgamated with Timberscombe". East Harwood Farm is numbered as "12" and Nos. 13, 14, 15 and 16 are not named. No. 13 is inhabited by Mary Robinson, a 57-year-old widow and her 19-year-old daughter, also named Mary Robinson and who worked as a nursemaid. Eliza Ellis, a blind 64-year-old, is listed at No. 14 but is described as a "Lodger", so presumably might be living with the Robinsons, perhaps at the house that will become Pero. At No. 15 is Mary Davis, 48 years old, working as a Laundress and also a widow, with her 13-year-old daughter, Elizabeth. They seemingly are not related to Worthington Davis and family, who now appear to be living in the village of Luccombe. Indeed Mary Davis was born as Mary Rew. In 1851, when she was around 18 years old, she had a baby boy she named James (18) and in 1857, Mary married James Davis (19), who died in 1870 (20). Living at No. 16--possibly in the same building if they are indeed at the future East Harwood Cottages-- is James and Mary (nee Cooksley) Rew, with their children William and Elizabeth Rew. James Rew is the son of the Mary Davis next door and his children are named after Mary's parents and James' grandparents, William and Elizabeth Rew, who raised him (21).

The 1891 Census is the first to enter the East Harwood properties on the Timberscombe census, with a box drawn around the three listings that was labelled "Formerly of Luccombe". No. 14 was East Harwood Farm. The listing of No 15 was "Knackers', occupied by the family of John Tudball, a farm labourer. (Never mind the fact that the family name was spelled incorrectly as "Tudbale".) Unfortunately it is still not certain they were living at the future Pero Cottage . When John Tudball enrolled his sons, James and Willie at the Timberscombe School in 1890 and 1893, their address was given as "Harwood Cottages" (22). Nevertheless Mr. Tudball's wife would have been familiar with their home as she was formerly Emma Mogford, the daughter of Thomas and Ann Mogford, who lived here during the 1860s and 1870s. No. 16 was still not named on the 1891 Census but returning to live here was Worthington Davis. He was 71-years-old, apparently widowed and alone. He died in 1894, but not before a final move as at the time of his death, Mr. Davis was living down the road at Pitt Cottage (23).

Only East Harwood Farm and Knackers are mentioned on the 1901 Census. The Tudball family had moved to the nearby Bench Farm (24) and Knackers was occupied by John Pope, a retired farmer, originally from Wootton Courtenay and his wife, Maria (nee Hobbs) Pope. Mr. Pope died in 1901 and was buried in Wootton Courteney, as was Mrs. Pope in 1913 (25).

Thomas John Webber, born the 1st of May 1886 in Bath, was farming in Cutcombe, where in 1908 he married Bessie Farmer, born jn 1887, the daughter of James and Elizabeth (nee Clatworthy) Farmer (26). By 1910, he and Bessie lived at Harwood Cottages with their two-year-old daughter, Winifred (27). Next door was Robert Knight, a gamekeeper, born 16 July 1880 in Wootton Courteney, who had married Mary Ann Norman in 1903 at Washfield, Devon (28). On the 1911 Census they were on Harwood Lane with their daughters, Gladys and Irene, 5 and 4 years-old respectively. While filling out the census, "Knackers" had been given as their address, which was then crossed out and for the first time (at least in this context) "Pero" was written in its place.

"Knackers" persisted though. In 1913, 59 year old James Farmer (who actually lived in Wootton Courtenay) gave the address of Bessie Webber (his 26-year-old daughter) as the home of Dorothy Sarah Farmer (his 11-year-old daughter) when he enrolled her in the Timberscombe School. It was recorded there as "Knackers" (29). Lesley Gordon Stevens was enrolled at the school in January 1917 by his father, James Stevens, with his address still recorded as "Knackers" (30). In April 1919, Mr. Steven's daughter, Marjorie E. J. was admitted, when her address was given as "Pero Cottage Knackers" (31). Essentially, no one seems to be sure what to call it.

On 11 October 1915, Florence Elizabeth Hole and Albert John Hole were enrolled at Timberscombe School, with their address being "Harwood Cottages" and their parent recorded as "John ". A week later, Nellie Hole was enrolled, followed by Ernest Hole the next year (32) . Their father was Arthur John Hole, who was likely already overseas serving with the Royal Engineers in World War I. He was discharged in 1919. Before and after the war, Mr. Hole was a Farm Labourer, who appears to have been working at East Harwood Farm when he enlisted (33). His life illustrates how often a labourer might relocate for work. Arthur John Hole was born in Old Cleeve and married Elizabeth Ann Needs (born in Nettlecombe to another farming family) at Winsford (34). Their daughter, Florence ,was born at Timberscombe in 1907 and Albert John (1908), Nellie (1911) and Ernest (1913) at Selworthy (35). Before coming to Harwood Cottages, the family was working in Wootton Courtenay. After the war, with two more boys, Gilbert (1920) and Ronald (1928), the family lived and worked at Wootton Courtenay again, Taunton, Watchet, Williton, Dulverton and Minehead (36).

In 1921, the census taker actually labelled Pero Cottage as "Pero". It was occupied by 66-year-old Samuel Evans Carter and his wife, Agnes Beaumont (nee Cottle) Carter. Originally from Clutton, Somerset, they had moved to Timberscombe around 1898, with their nine children, when Mr. Carter become the village's Police Constable. Pero was basically their retirement home, seemingly where Samuel Carter died in 1923. Agnes Carter lived until 1940 (37), having moved in with her tenth child, Lillian May, (the only one born in Timberscombe) and her husband Harold Haydon of Carhampton. Interestingly, their Carhampton home, where Agnes died, was called New Pero Cottage (38).

On the 1939 England and Wales Register, Pero is not only still called "Knackers", it is called "Knackers Hole", similar to what it was in 1871. It was occupied by Albert (Bert or Bertie) Stevens, a Farm Worker and Shephard, born at Cutcombe in 1889 and his wife, Alice (nee Vellacott) Stevens, born in 1888 at Lynton, Devon (39). They were married at Exton in 1911 (40). Mr. and Mrs Steven died respectively in 1973 and 1976 and were buried together at St. Petrock's Church in Timberscombe, where Bert had been a longtime bell ringer (41). There does not seem to be a direct connection to the Stevens family at Knackers 20 years earlier nor the Stevens family at West Harwood.

Also on the 1939 Register, the Harwood Cottages have become No. 1 and No. 2 East Harwood Cottages, divided into two residences--although both are occupied by related people. At No. 1 East Harwood Cottage was 58-year-old Frederick Robert Coles , listed as "Incapacitated through Illness", with his wife, Lily Maria (nee Shorney) Coles, aged 57. With them is their daughter, 28-year-old Marjorie Elizabeth, also "Incapacitated through illness" and two sons, 26-year-old William and 22- year-old Ypres, both farm labourers. Semi-detached next door, were three older siblings of Frederick Coles. The eldest was 68-year-old Richard Coles, a retired farmer, along with James Coles, aged 63 and also "Incapacitated through Illness". Neither brother ever married, Their sister, Emily Durman, 67-years-old is simply listed as living here with them. Actually, 18 years earlier, on the 1921 Census, Emily Durham was identified as "Housekeeper" at the Harwood Cottages but the census taker indicates that the property was actually leased in her name. She had been Emily Coles, who married James Durman of Exford in February 1896, who died in October of the same year (42). In truth, Emily seems to have spent the last couple of decades providing a place for her unmarried and usually unemployed brothers to live.

In 1946, auctioneers James Phillips and Sons received instructions to sell No. 1 and No. 2 East Harwood Cottages , along with "about 24 acres of Pasture and Woodland". At that time No. 1 was vacant but No. 2 remained solely occupied by 74-year-old Emily Durman. At other locations, her brothers James died in November 1946 and Richard died in 1948 (43). In the Sales Particulars, both cottages were described as "similarly constructed, with identical accommodation", having living rooms with open brick fireplaces, two bedrooms, a cellar and a coal-house. "Small Gardens" were on the sides of both cottages, along with "Kitchen Gardens" and earth closets (44). Scheduled to be auctioned on the 25th of July at the Victoria Readings Room on Bancks Street, Minehead it seems the auction did not occur. Handwritten on a copy of the Sales Particulars, archived with the St. Petrock's History Group, is "£900 Withdrawn". This suggests money was paid but if purchased at the time, East Harwood Cottages later returned to being part of of East Harwood Farm. Hopefully Mrs. Durham did not have to move straightaway. She died 5 May 1949 at Townsend House in Williton, a combination of a poor house and hospital (45).

As recalled by fellow bell ringers, it seems that in 1950's, Bert and Alice Stevens returned to Harwood Lane, but instead of living at Pero, resided at East Harwood Cottages (46).

The second photograph depicts Shirley Eason on a return visit, likely in the early 1960's, to East Harwood Cottages. Born in Lambeth, London, c.1935. she was the daughter of Harold and Eileen (nee Moxham) Peirce. Mr. Peirce served as butler for the wealthy industrialist, Fred Beadle, both in Kensington, London and his country house, Stowey Farm, south of Timberscombe. When World War II became imminent, most Mr. Beadle's staff relocated to Somerset. The Peirce family was first at a cottage on Stowey Farm and then moved to a house provided by Fred Beadle on Great House Street. At the outbreak of the war, Harold Peirce enlisted with the RAF. After the war, Mr. Peirce chose not to go back into service and thus lost their home. He found work as a lorry driver and eventually his family found a home near Taunton but decided not to leave until Shirley completed her school term and exams at Timberscombe. They moved into East Harwood Cottages during the extremely cold winter of 1947/1948. Shirley Eason remembered their stay as "very, very uncomfortable"--with no electricity, just oil lamps and having do all cooking on the "big open fire". In 2008, Mrs. Eason recalled "I have no memory of the toilet arrangements, but they were probably primitive! (47)".

Around 1959, East Harwood Farm was purchased by Norah Harding. Born 28 January 1920 as Norah Heath in Macclesfield, Cheshire, at the age of 20 she had married Denys Arthur Cox, who was proprietor of the stables at The White Horse Inn at Dulverton (48). Their son, Peter Douglas Richard Cox was born in 1942 (49) and they had settled at Ruggs Farm in Brompton Regis, until Mr. Cox died in 1957 (50). In April 1958, Norah Cox married Norman Eric Harding (51). He and his parents owned Burrow Farm, dated from 1564 (52) and in the hamlet of Burrow, about "5 minutes away from East Harwood Farm via Harwood Lane". They never lived at East Harwood Farm. Norah bought it "for the land", basically presenting it to her new husband (53). Their son, Charles Harding was born in 1960 (54).

Norman Harding died at the age of 53 in 1969. Norah sold East Harwood Farm to the owner of the Swan Hotel in Wells but retained Pero and East Harwood Cottages, both of which she may have lived in at various times. Well remembered by many, Norah Harding died in 1995 (55). Her son by Mr. Cox, Peter Douglas Richard Cox married Ivy M. Darys in 1964 and they inhabited East Harwood Cottages for a time, before living at Dunster Lodge on Manor Road in Minehead (56). He died in 2007 (57). Charles Harding inherited both properties from his mother.

By 1968 East Harwood Cottages became East Harwood Cottage, a single residence. In September of that same year, Adrian and Betty Howe married in Cutcombe Church . They are pictured in the 5th photograph at home in East Harwood Cottage where they lived for a couple of years. Both the upper aerial photograph and the third black and white photograph of East Harwood Cottage are from their time here. Adrian was born in 1944 at Nailsea near Bristol and Betty was born in 1946 in Conventry, coming to Cutcombe when she turned seven. Adrian and Betty met in 1966 at Putham Farm at Wheddon Cross, the village where they settled, with him driving cattle lorries and winning ploughing matches and both of them working and training their beloved horses (58). A later occupant of East Harwood Cottage was William Wynn --whose grandmother owned Queen's Hall on Minehead's Sea Front, opened as a cinema in 1914 and later becoming an amusement arcade (59). Mr. Wynn later became the owner of Bar 21 on the Avenue in Minehead and in 2020 took over the lease of the former Blenheim Gardens Cafe in the centre of Minehead (60).

East Harwood Cottage was occupied in the later 1990's by Alice (nee Jones) Crowhurst, given as their address when her daughter Emma enrolled at Timberscombe School in 1998 (61). In the later 2010's, Alice returned to Harwood, with Richard Pluck but now leasing Pero. From around 2006, Pero was occupied by Caroline E. Morris (62), living there until earlier 2009. In that same year, new occupants of Pero arrived, staying seven years until moving to a very nearby relocation--- East Harwood Cottage.

James (Jim) Bruce's grandparents ran the former Dorchester Hotel in Minehead, where he was born. Theresa E.M. (Terry) Hurn was born in Victoria British Columbia, Canada. After stints in Cutcombe, Minehead again and moving to London when he was 16-years-old, by 1996, Jim had lived at Overdale Cottage in Timberscombe but had a flat in Minehead when he met Terry then living in Dulverton , at the Wellington Hotel in Minehead, They both moved to London, returning and moving into Pero Cottage in July 1999 and marrying on the 3rd of August 2001 at Cutcombe Church. Farley Bruce was born at Pero , but in January 2006 and pregnant with Isabelle (Izzy), Jim and Terry moved into East Harwood Cottage, where she was born, as latter were Raphaela (Raffy) and Jesse. The 2004 sketch of Pero seen above was taken off the wall at East Harwood Cottage in September 2022 by Jesse and shared with the St. Petrock's History Group.

Jim worked as a carpenter and created the new oak door for the re-opened Tudor doorway at St. Petrock's Church, pictured at SP-204. Terry was a yoga instructor and a health coach for the National Health Service. The bottom photograph is of the Bruce family totally inhabiting East Harwood Cottage on 15 September 2022. From left to right are Raffy, Terry (with Prince), Farley, Izzy, Jesse and Jim.
