History 1886
How many bones must you bury before you can call yourself an African? Updated December 2009 A South African Diary: Contested Identity, My Family - Our Story Part D: 1886 - 1909 Compiled by: Dr. Anthony Turton [email protected] Caution in the use and interpretation of these data This document consists of events data presented in chronological order. It is designed to give the reader an insight into the complex drivers at work over time, by showing how many events were occurring simultaneously. It is also designed to guide future research by serious scholars, who would verify all data independently as a matter of sound scholarship and never accept this as being valid in its own right. Read together, they indicate a trend, whereas read in isolation, they become sterile facts devoid of much meaning. Given that they are “facts”, their origin is generally not cited, as a fact belongs to nobody. On occasion where an interpretation is made, then the commentator’s name is cited as appropriate. Where similar information is shown for different dates, it is because some confusion exists on the exact detail of that event, so the reader must use caution when interpreting it, because a “fact” is something over which no alternate interpretation can be given. These events data are considered by the author to be relevant, based on his professional experience as a trained researcher. Own judgement must be used at all times . All users are urged to verify these data independently. The individual selection of data also represents the author’s bias, so the dataset must not be regarded as being complete.

The Boer War Memorial – Unveiled in Cannon Hill Park, Birmingham – 23Rd June 1906
The Victoria Cross Garden The Story of the Anglo/Boer War Memorial erected in the Victoria Cross Garden, Cheswick Green Will you come with me in silent thought to the battlefields of South Africa, to the lonely graves scattered over the veldt, and to the thousands of those who had died of wounds, disease and sickness since that Great Adventure. John W Pettinger January 2019 The Mysterious Stones Those people who have lived in Cheswick Green since the new Village was built in the 1970s have been aware of a tall column standing in the garden of 194 Creynolds Lane, on the corner of Cheswick Way. A fascinating and mysterious feature. Living in this Village, with its many odd features and origins, has stirred in many of its inhabitants a desire to understand more of its history. The author has some understanding of its origins and some of its odd features. Having relatives who were brought up and lived on the old Mount Estate, and who as children were discouraged from playing in the area around the column. It was regarded as a special, almost sacred place and not a place for playing! But what was its significance, and why was it regarded as special? There exists an old pamphlet from the early 1900s, advertising the features and attractions of the Pleasure Grounds that existed in Cheswick at that time. This document contains a reference to a ‘Victoria Cross Garden’. VICTORIA CROSS GARDEN. This is another object of interest commemorating the South African War, and especially the bravery of the Warwickshire men who were engaged.

CHAPTER XVII. RAILROAD AND INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT. 1841-1860. On the 4th of March, 1841, the Whigs of Keene fired a salute of one hundred and fifty guns in honor of the inauguration of William Henry Harrison as president of the United States. The Sentinel of April 7, shaded with heavy black lines, announced his death. A meeting of the citizens of Keene nominated Charles L. Putnam, a young lawyer who had recently come to town, for postmaster under the new administration. He was appointed, and the office was removed to the first door south of the Cheshire House. For a long term of years, down to about 1850, Elec tion Day-the first Wednesday in June, the day of the meeting of the legislature-was a very enjoyable holiday. This year it was celebrated by a gathering of 1,000 to 1,200 persons, pupils of the district schools and others, on the banks of the Ashuelot river, where they indulged in a feast of "'lection cake," listened to speeches and music, and spent the day in social enjoyment. On the same afternoon, Gen. James Wilson, who had been appointed surveyor general of Wisconsin .and Iowa territories, was given a complimentary dinner at the Chesh ire House, previous to his departure for the West. Hon. Thomas M. Edwards presided, Gen. Wilson made an ele gant speech, toasts were drunk, and other short speeches were made. The valley road up the Ashuelot river from Gilsum to Marlow was opened this year, 1841, connecting with the Beaver brook road, built in 1837, from Keene to Gilsum, and giving an easy and pleasant route to Newport, thirty three miles.

We think of them waiting for the call to arms, Fighting to save their families and farms; We picture the furrow where the dropped plough lies, The women watching them go with quiet eyes. Is it because they died so many springs Ago that we forget the other things They did from day to day? They must have wept, Laughed, talked of the future. I think they kept Their dreams tended as gently as their corn, And planned great things for children yet unborn. And as I watch the spring unfold each year, I think that they held beauty almost as dear As freedom. The battle won, they heeded her command, And planted dogwood in their promised land.

John W Pettinger July 2017 The Significance of the Stones – A Boer War Memorial In the early Spring of 2011 a planning application relating to 194 Creynolds Lane was noted. It was realised that this site was once called The Victoria Cross Garden – a feature of the Mount Pleasure Grounds of the early 1900s, and that remnants of that garden were still on the site. This fact was not generally known. I brought the matter to the attention of the Cheswick Green Parish Council and urged it to attempt to secure any remaining artefacts for the future: suggesting that any such remains could be re-installed at some suitable location within the Village to form an historical feature, preserving our heritage and above all continuing to honour the men to whom it was erected originally – those men of Warwickshire who were engaged in the South African Wars.

UNITED PARISH OF AUBURNDALE Report on Sanctuary History and Design A Resource for the Study and Process of Sanctuary Renovations September 2015 Prepared by Sherwood Norton Working Draft 6.0 9/15/2015; Not for general distribution Please discard prior drafts. Preface A church building communicates the story of the vision, mission, and expression of its faith community. Wisely planned, maintained, and appropriately changed over time, it can shape worship and enhance the ministry of its members and to the community. Poorly designed and maintained, it can detract from the identity and purpose of its congregation. This is the story of the church building of the United Parish of Auburndale – the gathering place where God and people meet. The way the dynamic character of this religious space is organized can be read to understand the reasons for its design, evolution, and change. It is anticipated that this story can enable an appreciation of the building’s sacred spaces and of understanding of tradition becoming innovation, and innovation becoming tradition. It is designed to provoke curiosity, be a catalyst for discussion, and inform a process for change. _______________________________________________________ © United Parish of Auburndale 2015 i Contents Page The Story of the UPA In the Beginning… 1 A Meeting House of Their Own 3 Building Expansion 1878-1892 16 From Meetinghouse to Church Home to Sanctuary 23 1907 Renovations 25 Centennial Celebration 36 Later Additions 40 A Vision Fulfilled 43 The Church’s Presence 47 National Recognition
