Sherborne Pageant Participants LIST OF KNOWN PARTICIPANTS Updated 9 Aug 2017 The Sherborne Pageant Project IN EARLY 2015 the project was begun by Rachel Hassall, Sherborne School Archivist To find out about the scripts, the albums, the performance and more visit the School Archives online: http://www.oldshirburnian.org.uk/sherborne-pageant-1905/ For photographs, including the signatures of those taking part - view the Sherborne Pageant Albums on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/sherborneschoolarchives/sets/ You will find, under 'featured pageants - Sherborne', more background information together with wider research into Historical Pageants in Britain, 1905-2016 at http://www.historicalpageants.ac.uk NOW - Rachel has stepped back but her work is being continued by volunteers from the Somerset and Dorset Family History Centre in Sherborne who are attempting to tie up those known to have participated with the photographs, as they are mostly anonymous. It is also hoped to gain additional biographical information as descendents of those who took part come forward to help. LIST OF KNOWN PARTICIPANTS - On the following pages you will find the names of those known so far to have taken part, together with any biographical information we have been able to discover. We give the episode each person appeared in together with the character, if any, they played. S next to some of the names indicates that at the end of a performance those who took part signed their names. You can find the signatures from the Sherborne Pageant Albums on Flickr noted above. P in the last column indicates that we have amassed sufficient information to write a profile for the person concerned. P* indicates a collective profile for Red Indians, Hobby Horses, Maypole dancers etc . To read and, if you wish, download a profile, click here (link) Your help is needed in the preparation of more profiles and we would very much like to hear from you if you can add to our information.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION THE GROUP When I decided to set up DDCAG I was determined that this was not to be a hobby society. The word ‘community’ in our title indicated that our main aim was to engage the people in our excavations wherever we found ourselves working on archaeological sites. It wasn’t just my heritage or the groups, it was everyone’s, especially the people who found themselves living in the same area, on the same land, as those that lived there hundreds and thousands of years before them. Many of the group’s early members came from my adult education classes in archaeology, but that was only the nucleus as we rapidly increased in numbers by going to various local events with our table and various artefacts I had collected for teaching, spreading the word about Dorset archaeology. As with many such groups luck plays a part in kick-starting what can be a long process of building membership and trying to find a project that will stimulate the interest of existing and future members. I was approached in my village cafe by an acquaintance that had heard of the group and suggested that we could have a look at a brick structure on the hill, as no one could remember what its function had been or how old it was. So this became our first project. It gave me an opportunity to teach some basic excavation techniques on a site, I believed, would not produce much in the way of real archaeology. But as we worked we found that the structure was attached to a much larger building with chalk and flint foundations surviving under the large mound of rubble, one that had two rooms, one of which was half cobbled.

  • Mr~ and Mrs. Albert Galer of Uploders, Are Rejoicing in the Birth of a Son, Michael
    PARISH' NOTES (MAY, 1957) Loders, Dottery and Askerswell. The Lateness of Easter, combined with the mild spring weather; had a marked and not at all unpleasin~ e~~ect on the floral decoration of our churches. Instead o~ the unrelieved yellow of primroses, daffodils and forsythia, we had a tinting .of tulips, cherryblossam, bluebells and polyanthus, and at Loders the entire bowl of the font was done in cowslips, which are normally an A.scensiontide flower. Again we are indebted to the ladies who made our drurches so festive, and to the chilBren who made of Loders porch a .Joseph of .Arima.thea1 s garden, complete with pond and ducks. The Easter weather vms all that could be desired, and ·enabled friends who had come from the cities to see the countryside at its best. Services began with a seven .o 1 clock co:n:mrunion at Loders. As the wind was in the right direction; the early risers were 1 met on the church path by the IllUSic of Bridport St• Ms.ry s bells 1 greeting the greatest aay in the year with a :gesurrection fanfare.
