Churchyard Figure 2 Northern side of the church Figure 4 The southern side of the church Old Burial Ground The ‘Old Burial Ground’, the parish’s second burial ground, is in Church Lane. The land first appears as a ‘Bowling Alley’ in Thorp’s survey of 1741. This showed Ralph Allen’s landholdings in Widcombe. It had originally belonged to Bath Priory until the Dissolution when it was bought from the Crown by Edmund Colthurst. This mansion, the original Figure 3 Eastern section of the graveyard Widcombe House, stood on the site of Widcombe Crescent. Alderman Chapman, Allen’s executor, sold the land on behalf of Gertrude Tucker, Ralph Allen’s wife’s niece and heiress to all his property. The land was purchased by the parish in 1782. An account in the parish archive shows that Messrs Kingston and Bayly were paid £35.15.7½ to adapt it from a Figure 1 The location of the graveyard by the church. bowling alley to a place of burial.

The Burial Acts of 1856 eventually obliged the parish to lay out a properly-run cemetery which opened in 1861 on the Lower Bristol Road; now known as St James’s Cemetery but correctly ‘Lyncombe and Widcombe & St James’ Cemetery’. The Old Burial Ground was then finally closed by an Order in Council in 1870.

  • Rustin Military Collection
    Richard Rustin Military Books Donated 3 October 2009 THE RUSTIN MILITARY COLLECTION The Rustin Military Collection consists of nearly a thousand military books and periodicals collected by Richard E. Rustin during his lifetime. His wife, Ginette Rustin, donated this collection from his estate to the Archive Center and Genealogy Department, Indian River County Main Library, in October 2009 – April 2010. Richard E. Rustin passed away July, 2008. His wife considered him a genius regarding military history. He was a brilliant writer, a former reporter, manager and assistant chief of the New York news bureau. He edited coverage at the heart of the Wall Street Journal’s financial and economic news operations. He served in the U. S. Navy as an officer from 1956 to 1959. The focus of his collection centered on World War I and World War II. The collection also includes books on the Revolutionary War, Civil War, Mexican War, Korean War, and Viet Nam War, among others. Regimental histories and books of detailed campaigns, military science, military equipment and biography predominate. The library is very fortunate to have such a magnificent research collection containing many rare, out of print and hard to find volumes. It should be of great interest to anyone exploring military history. To date, the complete collection has been processed and is available to the public in the Genealogy Department.

Mary Hare School’s production of ‘All That Jazz’, loosely based on the hit West End musical ‘Chicago’, featured song, dance and drama performed by students of all ages.

  • AT EL ALAMEIN UNDER AUCHINLEC KN 30Th June Rommel
    CHAPTER 1 2 AT EL ALAMEIN UNDER AUCHINLEC K N 30th June Rommel 's army was pressing on towards the last British O defences west of the Nile Delta—the partly-prepared El Alamein position which obstructed the 30-mile neck of desert between the sea nea r El Alamein and the Qattara Depression . For some days troops allotte d to its defence had been digging, wiring and laying mines while past the m poured the transport of a retreating army. A system of fortified locations had been laid out there and partly con- structed in the months preceding the launching of the CRUSADER operation. The most developed stronghold provided all round defence for an are a surrounding the El Alamein railway station and extending from the coas t across the main road and railway and south into the desert for a few miles . North of El Alamein railway station the coast road travelled along a low rise which lay between the railway and the narrow strip of salt mars h and sand dunes bordering the sea. To the immediate south only two note- worthy features emerged from a slightly undulant waste of sandy desert : the low ridges of Miteiriya and Ruweisat . South of Ruweisat the desert floor became rougher and was broken by sharp-edged escarpments an d flat-topped hills nowhere rising to more than 700 feet. Cliffs defined th e southern border of the desert tract on which the Eighth Army had chose n to stand; below them lay the waterlogged Qattara Depression, deceptively covered with a brittle sun-baked sand crust .
