The Taunton Courier, Wednesday, August 15, 1838.

Wootton Courtney.-- “Eleazer” informs us, in a very circumstantial narrative, of the dire discordance prevailing in the otherwise quiet, and pleasant little village of Wootton Courtney, - detailing how the Clergyman refused to christen the child of Thomas Ketnor, “a leading singer, on one of the prayer days in Lent, unless the ceremony were performed on a Sunday;” how the said Thomas Ketnor, thereupon, proceeded to resent his disappointment by transferring his dulcet tones to Luckham church - how bravely the choristers of Selworthy advanced “to the rescue” of their unfortunate friends, the deserted Wootton Courtneyans - how the said Ketnor, in compassion to them at the conscious misery he was inflicting by his contumely, resumed his attendance in the singing gallery; and, to pass over a small volume of recital, how much dissatisfied the Clergyman was with the offensive bearing towards him of the said obnoxious Thomas, who, with the other vocal conspirators, contrived to suppress the remainder of the service, and induce the minister, by drowning his voice, to leave the church abruptly; all this, and much more, has been inflicted upon us.

H.J. Marshall in Exmoor, Sporting & Otherwise, p.20 (1948), records that there was still a Chibbett living in Porlock. Of Henry John Chibbett, he writes:

"One of the most original and loveable of all was Chibbett the carpenter. He had a cottage, which still stands, opposite 'The Ship'. Over the half hatch one could see him working at his trade, exactly like Holman Hunt's picture of Joseph6, the village carpenter. I have often wondered if he was the original for that picture, for Holman Hunt used to come to Porlock in those days and must often have seen him. His straggling Nazarite beard, his ascetic face with its broad forehead and big shining eyes amid the litter of his workshop - all were there.

"He was retiring and seemed shy and reserved. Yet he had travelled about the world in most unlikely places. By degrees he took me into his confidence, and the story of his odyssey came out.

"In his younger days the urge to travel would suddenly come upon him. He obeyed the call; turned the key in his workshop; took his bag of tools and just enough money to take him to Bristol Quay - no more. Arrived there, he would go aboard the first ship that took his fancy, and ask the captain if he wanted a ship's carpenter. Chibbett always seemed to strike a lucky ship. One ship took him to Canada. There he wandered, carrying his bag of tools on his back, from ranch to ranch, always finding work waiting for him. I remember, in answer to my enquiry, "How did you get on?" his answer was: "The difficulty was to get away. I could have stayed for months or years. There was plenty to do. They wouldn't let me go."

"So he travelled from place to place, through lonely ranches and villages springing rapidly into towns, and always carrying his bag of tools. Right across Canada he went, everywhere helping settlers and adventurers to build their houses and barns and stables and mend their wagons and farm tackle.

"What a life it must have been! And he had nothing but his bag of tools and his skills to use them! His interest was life.

"Another voyage brought him eventually to Palestine. There he made a spiritual pilgrimage. There, through all the sacred places of that - to him - Holy Land, he followed, always with his bag of tools on his back, literally in his Master's footsteps and following his Master's trade."

Holman Hunt, Detail of The Detail of John Everett Millais’ Shadow of Death, 1873 The Carpenter’s Shop, 1849-50

6 Was Marshall referring to Hunt’s painting The Shadow of Death, which shows Jesus, and not Joseph, in his carpenter’s workshop. Otherwise, perhaps it was Millais’ Christ in the House of his Parents (‘The Carpenter’s Shop) which does portray Joseph; this was painted in 1849-1850, which rather destroys Marshall’s point about Henry John being the model.

2.1.2 Walter Chibbett

Walter was the son of John Chibbett and Maria née Foy, and was born in 1854 at Luccombe.He married Sarah Ann Cape in Q3 1882, and they had a child, Walter John, in 1884. Sarah Ann died the following year.

William, second son of John Chibbett and Ann née Ridler, was baptized at Porlock on 7th February 1820. It’s not clear if William ever worked, and I wonder if he was mentally deficient in some way.
