The succession seemed, however,to be as above, and, if that be so, the beds below bed I are probably Bagshot Beds. "The pit at the lower level has been already noticed in our Proceedings; cj. H. W. Monckton and R. S. Herries 'On some Bagshot Pebble Beds and Pebble Gravel,' Proc. Ceol. Assoc., vol. xi, p. 13, at p. 22. The pit has been worked farther back, and the clay is now in consequence thicker. Less of the under­ lying sand is exposed than it was in June, 1888. "The casts of shells which occur in this sand were not abundant, but several were found by members of the party on a small heap of sand at the bottom of the pit." Similarly disturbed strata were again observed in the excavation for the new reservoir close by. A few minutes were then profitably spent in examining Fryerning Church, and its carved Twelfth Century font, etc. At the Spread Eagle a welcome tea awaited the party, which, after thanking the Director, returned by the 7.55 p.m. train to London.

  • St Michael's House, 7 Pound Street
    St Michael’s House, 7 Pound Street Graham Davies and Richard Wells May 2020 The house is set back from the roadside and adjacent properties on the Pound Street hill in Lyme Regis. Of Regency origin, the house underwent a Victorian makeover followed by further changes in the 20th/21st centuries. Initially a private house for almost a hundred years it became an hotel for most of the 20th century before being converted into flats in 2004. The Rev Michael Babbs bought the house in 1818. Did he name the house Mount Nebo or was it the earlier owner and/or builder? 2018 The Rev Babbs (1743-1831) came from London to Lyme Regis as a curate in 1792. He was accompanied by his daughters, Elizabeth and Mary Ann, and their step-mother, his second wife Mary. He rented the recently built house, Belle Vue (today’s Kersbrook), in Pound Road from Samuel Coade and was tenant there for the next 30 years. He served under four different vicars and seemed content to act as a perpetual curate at the Parish Church of St Michael the Archangel. He was a gentleman of additional means. The parish records show him to be a very busy clergyman, well known, not only in society, but to all classes of people in the community. He was described by his sexton, John Upjohn, as ‘a nice gentleman who wrote like copperplate’. It is not known when the house was built, by whom, and from whom it was purchased in 1818.

  • Beatrice Louisa Sturmey
    Beatrice Louisa Sturmey Born 26th December 1879, birth registered in Sturminster, Dorset. In 1881 the census showed her being born in Fifehead, Dorset as they the daughter of James Sturmey, a carter, and his wife Lucy and they were living in Winterbourne St Martin. Other family members were: Mary E (age 11) Annie M (age 7) Ida M (age 3) 1n 1891, the family was living at Wareham Road, Poxwell and Ida and Mary were no longer part of the household. The household now included Florence (age 3) William (aged 2) and a lodger Walter Harris aged 21 In the 1901 census the family was recorded as living in Affpuddle and the only sibling to Beatrice now shown is Francis W aged 12 and the only other member of the household is Beatrice’s daughter Elsie May, then aged 2. Beatrice and her daughters Elsie and Lilian are recorded living in the Poole Workhouse in the 1911 census. Beatrice Sturmey is recorded as dying in 1939 and a death certificate confirms her death on 26th September 1939 at the age of 59. This ties in with a birth in 1879 and no other Beatrice Sturmey is recorded at that time anywhere. There was only one Beatrice Sturmey in the census returns for 1881, 1891 and 1901. Beatrice was, according to an Identity card issued in Poole, working as a Domestic Nurse in 1913 in the Waterloo district of Poole. Beatrice had another daughter Lilian Louisa whose birth was registered in Wareham in 1906. Only one Lilian Sturmey was recorded anywhere in the country.

  • S I D M O U T H
    S I D M O U T H Newsletter September 2017 Issue 48 From the Chairman I closed my piece in the last newsletter by wishing you a great summer unfortunately that has now passed and, according to the met office, we are now officially in Autumn! One of the "hot topics" for the last newsletter was the proposed takeover of the lease of St Francis Church Hall by the Sidmouth Town Band, this has been delayed with no further developments likely until December this year. I'm confident that many organisations, apart from the U3A, hope that the layout of the hall does not change regardless of who operates the lease. It is with some sadness that I've learnt of the passing of Joy Pollock, a founder member of Sidmouth U3A. Joy along with Madge White and June Newbould were the three ladies who met at the Sidmouth Sports Centre and decided to create a steering committee to set-up a U3A branch in Sidmouth. That small seed planted in October 1993 with 15 members has blossomed into our present branch with approaching 350 members. The original membership fee was £5 per head but interestingly the attendance charge for a monthly meeting was 50p the same as it is today! The U3A which Joy helped to start was very different to the organisation we have today, however, when Joy attended the anniversary lunch in 2014 she seemed to approve of the way the branch had developed. There will be those who remember Joy and mourn the passing of one our founder members.
