  • The Grose Family of Ilsington, Devon Helen Wilson
    The Grose Family of Ilsington, Devon Helen Wilson Introduction At a Dartmoor Tinworking Research Group (DTRG) event in Ilsington in February 2014, Dr Tom Greeves gave a presentation on tinners and tinworking in the area. He described the Grose family who played a crucial role in the development of the mining industry around Ilsington from the 1860s until the early C20th and suggested that someone might like to build on his research. Tom has been privileged to correspond with and then interview William Ambrose Grose (the younger) who remembered much about some of the mines in the Ilsington area from the late C19th to the early C20th. William became an honorary member of DTRG, and his obituary appeared in the January 1995 Newsletter. I became more interested in the Grose family when I came across the photographs featured in this article. They have been reproduced with the permission of the owner, John Rose, and some of the family history is based on his research. Cornish Roots The name Grose (and its variants) has been around since Norman times, being Old French for ‘big’ or ‘fat’. This particular spelling is, for some reason, common in Cornwall. The name Ambrose Grose also has a long history, appearing in Cornish church records as early as 1575. The Grose family in Devon used the forename Ambrose five times within three generations, suggesting that they were descended from an ancient Cornish line. The Ilsington branch of the Grose family originated from Roche. William Grose was baptised there in 1789 and married Mary Ann Parsons in 1819.

    Connecting Devon and Somerset DC14-075 February 25, 2014 For immediate release CONNECTING DEVON AND SOMERSET ANNOUNCES SUPERFAST BROADBAND FOR 25 COMMUNITIES Following last month’s announcement on exchange areas, CDS confirms the communities to benefit from high-speed fibre broadband Connecting Devon and Somerset (CDS) today confirmed the next 25 communities to benefit from the £94 million programme to bring superfast broadband to rural areas. Last month, the programme announced that it would make high-speed fibre broadband available to 70,000 homes and businesses by the end of July and revealed the names of the latest exchange areas to be included in the CDS roll-out plans. Now it has been able to go one step further and pinpoint the actual communities within those exchange areas, which will benefit. In Devon, they include Ashford, Landkey, Heanton Punchardon, Braunton, Morthoe, Swimbridge, Burlescombe, Feniton, Ottery St Mary, Dunkeswell, Membury, Honiton, Newton Abbot, Ashburton, Ilsington, Kingskerswell, Bovey Tracey and Belstone. In Somerset, the programme will roll-out to Horton, Barrington, Ilminster, Broadway, Dowlish Wake , Kingstone, and Wellington*. Today’s announcement comes as a result of the detailed survey work that is critical in determining how the roll-out plan takes shape through the life of the programme. The new locations follow 19 exchange areas** where the partnership has already made fibre available and a further seven areas*** which are due to ‘go live’ by the end of March – see Notes to EDitors For Further Details oF these locations. The programme has updated the interactive map on the CDS website, www.connectingdevonandsomerset.co.uk, to reflect this latest announcement.
