  • Lark Rise Observations
    1st July, 2008 Issue 21 Oxfordshire Record Office, St Luke’s Church, Temple Road, Cowley, Oxford, OX4 2HT. Telephone 01865 398200. Email [email protected]: www.oxfordshire.gov.uk LARK RISE OBSERVATIONS THE SMITHY AT FRINGFORD Page 1 SEE PAGES 2 and 3 - for ‘Observations’ 1st July, 2008 Issue 21 LARK RISE OBSERVATIONS Anyone watching the recent BBC adaptations of FloraThompson’s Lark Rise to Candleford trilogy will be aware that, although filmed elsewhere, the novels are set in the north-east corner of Oxfordshire with Lark Rise representing Juniper Hill and Candleford supposedly an amalgam of Banbury, Bicester, Brackley and Buckingham. Flora Thompson (nee Timms) lived at End House in Juniper Hill, a hamlet of Cottisford where she attended the local Board school and church on Sundays. Her job in the post office was at Fringford (about 4-5 miles away). In the novels Flora called herself Laura and in the TV series her parents are called Robert and Emma Timmins. In real life her family name was Timms and her parents were called Albert and Emma. The End House where they lived in Juniper Hill can still be seen today (part of a modern dwelling) and its location can be seen on an OS map, c1900. The Cottisford parish registers reveal that 10 children of Albert and Emma were baptized in the church, starting with Martha on 13th Nov 1875 and ending with Cecil Barrie on 6th Mar 1898 (over 20 years, by which time Emma was in her mid-40s). Four of the children, including Martha, Albert (born 1882), Ellen Mary (born 1893) and Cecil Barrie (buried 4th Apr 1900) died in infancy.

  • Flora Thompson Report Commemorating Flora's Life
    FLORA THOMPSON REPORT COMMEMORATING FLORA’S LIFE 70 YEARS AFTER HER DEATH The ‘Evening at Lark Rise’ special evening event on June 28 last, the main focus of the Old Gaol’s Commemoration of Flora Thompson’s life 70 years after her death, was very well attended by over thirty five visitors (plus invited guests), who thoroughly enjoyed both the current standing commemorative exhibition (on until July 5) and the ‘Evening at Lark Rise’ special event, itself. The main thrust of the actual Flora Thompson commemorative exhibition in the Old Gaol exercise yard, held from June 23 to July 5, is to showcase items and memorabilia, including some rare and scarcely seen items, some over 100 years old, and others, although completely complementary to the Flora Thompson story and her life and works, rarely see the light of day. Others, particularly the commemorative china and metal items of the early and mid eighties, although produced in fairly large numbers, are also largely unknown to the general public, even to many Flora aficionados themselves. TO PICK OUT SOME OF THE MORE UNUSUAL ITEMS: The Catholic Fireside Magazine – a bound copy of twelve editions of this periodical each containing work by Flora Thompson, dated July to September 1925. A feature about Flora Thompson (‘poetess’ [sic]) in the Daily Page 15 Mirror dated 3 March 1921. A selection from a collection of over 50 theatre programmes from theatres in all parts of the country, from Buckingham to London, Nottingham to Southampton, and all parts between. A rare copy of ‘Fifty-One Poems’ by Mary Webb (the author of ‘Precious Bane’), signed and inscribed to Winifred Thompson (Flora’s daughter), by the illustrator (and well known wood cut engraver of the time), Joan Hassall.

Flora was something of an enigma during her life. Still is. Maybe at the turn of the 20th Century, life for a woman was more difficult and often subsumed by a picky publisher or a strict husband. Or both. Possibly Flora's book 'Larkrise to Candleford' appeals to the gals because of the frock-fest and vulnerable children and the guys because of the bucolic, clay ruralness of the NE Oxfordshire/Northhamptonshire and Buckinghamshire borders. Candleford may be modelled on the Buckingham of the day. Flora wasn't a particularly famous or prolific writer, only taking up writing in her sixties.

Designed by Alex Marker. New musical arrangements by Tim van Eyken. Movement by Kitty Winter. Costumes by Penn O’Gara. Cast includes: David Brett. Hugo Cox. Rosalind Cressy. Hannah Emanuel. Susie Emmett. Nicky Goldie. Michael Lovatt. Gary Mackay. Tom Murphy. Owyn Stephens. Anna Tolputt. Sophie Trott. TWO PROMENADE PLAYS IN REPERTOIRE! THE FIRST REVIVAL OF BOTH PLAYS SINCE THE ORIGINAL NATIONAL THEATRE PRODUCTION WINNER OF THE PETER BROOK EMPTY SPACE MARK MARVIN AWARD “As she went on her way, gossamer threads, spun from bush to bush, barricaded her pathway, and as she broke through one after another of these fairy barricades she thought, “They’re trying to bind and keep me.” But the threads which were to bind her to her native county were more enduring than gossamer. They were spun of love and kinship and cherished memories.” Lark Rise to Candleford is a lively two-play adaptation for the theatre of Flora Thompson’s classic trilogy of Oxfordshire life at the end of the 19th century, recalling an era when the traditional ways and values of rural society were disappearing beneath the clamour of modern life and finally vanishing forever in the carnage of the First World War. The two plays can be seen in any order, separately or together. Shapeshifter’s dynamic promenade staging, featuring extensive live folk music, immerses the audience in the forgotten communities of a vanishing England.
