TATSFIELD ARCHIVE CATALOGUE

CONTENTS

Most of this material is held by Tatsfield Parish Council or by the Tatsfield History Project. Original items and copies are stored at the Aileen McHugo Building in Tatsfield. Most of the original material has been deposited at the Surrey History Centre in Woking, with hard copies retained in Tatsfield.

The numbering system allows additions to be made to the several thousand items already in the archive with minimum changes to numbering. The contents section indicates where information is likely to be found. Material about a particular subject can often be found spread across different sections of the archive, according to its origin and/or date of acquisition. Scanned versions of material held in the National Archives or at the Surrey History Centre can normally be found in sections 3/1 and 3/4.

The more fertile general areas of the archive are: Images, or books such as: Tatsfield: the first 2000 years (extracts from the text published in 1999), Tales of Tatsfield, (published in 1987) and Tatsfield School Past and Present (published in 2010).

The ‘People’ link leads to nearly 17,000 entries from census returns, church records, directories and other sources. The Parish Registers have details from the 17th to the 19th centuries. The digest of Parish Council minutes (1894-1995) contains brief references to people and events during the years covered. Original minute books covering 1894 to December 2007 have been scanned. Later minutes are available on the Parish Council website.

Local press coverage has information about people and events since the 1880s. A summary of such items from the Westerham Herald and Sevenoaks Chronicle is also included. Local press items have been scanned each month since 2006. Digital copies of the Parish Magazine are available from January 2010.

It recalls that the need for an extension to the Village Hall was identified in the 1930s; that the need for proper medical facilities was identified in the 1940s. The £200,000 building involved the medical practices serving Tatsfield from Biggin Hill and Westerham. Grants were obtained from Tandridge DC and Surrey CC. The building contained consulting and treatment rooms, a waiting room and facilities for staff, as well as the Parish Room – used for Parish Council meetings – on the first floor with kitchen and toilet. The financing of the project was helped by a substantial increase in parish taxation – in the first year of the Community Charge. It was pointed out that as time went by ‘surplus rent income will be available to reduce the impact of the Charge or to subsidise the provision of other much-needed facilities’. The 15-year borrowing arrangement ended with the loan being paid off in 2005. The doctors relinquished the lease on the Surgery in 2010. The upstairs office and three ground floor rooms are let commercially. The former surgery waiting room is now the Parish Room used for meetings. 1/2/10/1 Invitation to opening of the Surgery and Parish Room 7 Dec 1990.

A gospel hall had been built in another part of Tatsfield in 1888. Grants and a public subscription led to Granville Charles Leveson Gower selling a plot to the church for ten shillings. His wife laid the foundation stone in May 1909 and the hall was opened by the Bishop of Southwark in September 1909. The Parish Council bought the hall in 1964 for £3000 and extended it in the 1970s. Further land was purchased in 1984 and discussions started about further extending the hall and building a surgery. The surgery was opened in 1990 but further fundraising, contributions from Surrey County Council and Tandridge District Council and a National Lottery grant were needed before the £269,000 project could be completed in 1999. 1/2/11/1 History of the Village Hall written by Ian Mitchell for the centenary events in 2009. 1/2/11/2 Village Hall history – Background material. 1/2/11/3 Village Hall seating plan 2000 1/2/11/4 Note of meeting of Village Hall Working Group 24 Jan 1996

Reference Description of item 1/9/10 Source references – Tatsfield bibliography. – from ‘Tatsfield, the first 2000 Years’. 1/10 Publications 1/10/1 Tatsfield and Its Surroundings 1928 This is the first known self-contained history of Tatsfield – compiled by Tatsfield School – under the editorship of the headmaster, Mr B. Hammond (see also 2/10/1). (Westerham Herald report is ref. 3/7/2/24) (Daily Telegraph report 3/7/4/1) Among the information contained is that Colegates was then owned by Sir Henry Theobald, that the present Manor House had been known as Nobrighter in 1561, that Colegates probably initially ‘Selecourt’, then Cold Court and Ken Court and named Colegates by Sir Henry Theobald. Copy donated 2011 by Angela Cousins, daughter of Cissie Filmer, nee Adams (cf Head Teacher 1898-1921). 1/10/2 Tales of Tatsfield – Doris Geary 1987 Doris Geary lived at Pond Cottages in the later years of her life. Her maiden name was Watson. The Watsons came to Tatsfield just after the First World War. Doris was the sister of Frank Watson who ran the Tatsfield Garage in Paynesfield Road and of Dick Watson who ran the bakery. She married Charlie Geary, who was Parish Council chairman from 1952 to 1959. Her book is a ‘gold mine’ of information and stories about Tatsfield. She suggests that Pond Cottages were once used as ‘plague cottages’ and refers to a similar use in the late 19th century.

According to Mrs Geary, some of Tatsfield’s road and house names – Emily, Louisa, Georges and Edgar Roads as well as Florence Villas, Marie Villas, Myrtle Cottage, Tommies Villas and Rose Cottage – were decided by a local builder, Charles Field, (also said locally to have built the White House) who used the first names of family members. (In directories of the relevant period he is described as Grocer, carman, coal and corn merchant).

The book refers to a plot for a chapel being reserved in the 1890s at ‘school corner’ to replace the ‘tin hut’ in Borough Road – the Tatsfield Institute where dances were held and the Tatsfield Band would practise.

Mrs Geary suggests that Greenway – formerly Union Road – was the site of the workhouse – Union House. She also repeats the story of Thomas Bates, one of Guy Fawkes’ fellow conspirators, having passed through Tatsfield.

There are also references to Tangland Castle in Goatsfield Road being known as ‘the Folly’ and being the place where Rutland Boughton composed ‘The Immortal Hour’ and to ‘cremation burials’ being found ‘when the pipeline came through Tatsfield’ by the fir trees between the school and the church where there were the remains on an old garden. The book contains extracts from Vestry minutes from the second half of the 19th century as well as the story of the restoration by Doris Geary of the grave of the then parish clerk, Timothy Burgess.

There is further material on the Gospel Hall in Paynesfield Road, on the formation of the WI by Mrs Lawrence of Union Road (Greenway) in the 1920s and the later purchase of the chapel next to the then Post Office in Paynesfield Road as the WI Hall.

Other chapters deal with the school, the volunteer fire brigade under the leadership of Doris Geary’s father, Thomas Watson, who had been a London fireman before retiring to Tatsfield in 1919; details of shops at the beginning of the 20th century and references to a brick works in Red House Road, the Gladstone bag factory at the

Hermitage in Avenue Road – Factory Bottom – and the manufacture of tennis rackets

at the White House. There is also a description of the dedication of the King Edward VII Memorial Garden in 1910, an explanation of a connection with Ruth Ellis and Burgess and Maclean and a reference to ‘Paper Jack’ living in a derelict aeroplane in Ricketts Hill.

The book contains descriptions of the snowy winter of 1926/7, Bottom’s Travelling Fair in the field behind the Parish Hall, the slaughterhouse in Union Road, the Princess Louise Dragoon Guards stationed in Tatsfield during the Second World War and the Sabena air crash. 1/10/2/1 Excerpt from Tales of Tatsfield on Ruth Ellis and Maclean.

Letter from BBC – 26 May 1943 – was signed by L.W. Hayes, Head of Monitoring Service according to War Office. 3/1/ HW14/100 23 March 1944 War Office correspondence marked ‘Top Secret’ referring to BBC Tatsfield Receiving Station activities and interceptions and security assessment at BBC Monitoring Service at Caversham.

Further note indicates BBC asked to monitor Hungarian Police, Hungarian Hellschreiber in connection with German Railways, ‘Ferdinand’ transmissions.
