October 2013 filmrichmond|NEWSLETTER Hey, it’s us again, coming to you from a still rather sunny Richmond upon Thames. On the one hand we quite like this unseasonably warm weather but as the nights draw in - shouldn’t it be getting chilly? We just want to get our woolies out! Although we do appreciate that all of you on location at 6am will be hoping it stays warm for a little while longer.

The village has so much to offer; there’s the river Thames of course, with a good long stretch of it completely unspoilt by modern buildings; a picturesque pond surrounded by elegant Edwardian and Georgian properties; a Common with a variety of landscapes (clean cut grassed areas, wild grass and woodland and hidden pathways); the pretty town centre with a good selection of independent stores; Barn Elms Sports Centre, recently redeveloped with football and rugby pitches, a running track (waiting for redevelopment so currently looking very ‘period’) and newly built changing rooms. Barnes has a classic 1930s style library completely modernised inside; Old Barnes Cemetery, spookily overgrown, very atmospheric and surrounded by woodland; Barnes Station (on a leafy lane so could look like anywhere in the countryside) and of course, private properties in abundance (some of which are registered with us). Oh and unit parking isn’t a problem either with Barn Elms and the London Wetland Centre a hop, skip and a jump from wherever you may be.

James Cooper Stewart
THE JAMES C STEWART MELBOURNE CONNECTION Adrian Fletcher – last update 15 January 2015 afletch at paradoxplace dot com www.ciaofamiglia.com James Cooper Stewart (1836 – 1919 (83)) was the son of another James Stewart (a master house painter) and his wife Mary (May) (Falconer) who lived in Brechin, north of Edinburgh. Their names appear in the 1841, 1851 and 1861 (without James jnr) Scottish censuses and we have managed to trace hand written registry records of some of their ancestor births, marriages and deaths back to 1777. The Stewart’s brownstone residence at 62 High Street, Brechin, is now a dilapidated boarded up shopfront which can be driven past via Google Earth. This is the record of James Cooper’s birth in Brechin in 1836. “Cooper” was May Falconer’s mother’s maiden name. Stewart emigrated from Liverpool to Melbourne (“for his health”) as a paying first class passenger aboard the famous sailing clipper “The Marco Polo” (“The Fastest Ship in the World”) in 1857. Melbourne was then 22 years old, the gold rush had been on since the early part of the decade and Victoria itself had been created in 1851. During this voyage he kept a diary and we have both a photocopy and typed transcript of this as well as a copy of part of the passenger list. The original diary has not been located yet. The diary is written in the form of a letter dated 27 September 1857 to James’ father back in Brechin: The opening paragraph covers leaving home in Brechin on Monday June 1 1857 and “the pangs of grief which rent my breast as I tore myself from all I loved”.

Descendants of James Patterson
Descendants of James Patterson By Catherine Reuther Table of Contents Descendants of James Patterson 1 Source Citations 508 Name Index 563 Produced by: Catherine Reuther : 20 Jan 2016 Descendants of James Patterson 1-James Patterson James married Mary Ferrell. They had two children: Abraham and Alexander. 2-Abraham Patterson, son of James Patterson1 and Mary Ferrell1, was born in 1756 in County Derry, Ireland,2 died on 27 Jul 1806 in Chester district, South Carolina3 at age 50, and was buried in Old Purity Presbyterian Church, Chester, South Carolina.4 General Notes: Abraham Patterson was considered a man of means in Ireland. He had a man and a woman servant and kept a horse and buggy. He was a merchant and a farmer.

She was called Peggy. Abraham wrote a number of poems which were published in book form in Baltimore in 1805.

Beverley Brook Partnership
BEVERLEY BROOK PARTNERSHIP Working together since 2013, the Beverley Brook Catchment Partnership aims to improve, restore and protect the health of the Beverley Brook and its catchment for both local wildlife and local communities. THE RIVER Starting in Worcester Park, the Beverley Brook travels north passing through key green spaces such as Richmond Park and Wimbledon Common and joining the Thames in Barnes. “Our vision is for the Beverley Brook to be a clean river, rich in biodiversity, that is a resource for an engaged local community” Explore this Catchment Plan to find out more about the Beverley Brook: its history, the issues it faces and what the Partnership is doing to restore and protect the Beverley Brook. THE BEVERLEY BROOK “Beverley Brook comes from Beaver’s Ley, which means place where Beavers rest” Was the Brook named after beavers which once inhabited the river? KEY INFORMATION LAND COVER Length 14.3km Tributaries Pyl Brook and East Pyl Catchment Area 64 km2 Type Heavily Modified Population 880,000 The Beverley Brook rises in Worcester Park and travels 14 km to Richmond where it joins the River Thames at Barn Elms. The Brook passes through Richmond Park, Wimbledon Common and the London Wetland Centre, all of which are Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) and key green spaces in south London. Historically, the Beverley Brook rose from minor springs along the edge of the North Downs, but with increases in ground-water Based upon LCM2015 © NERC (CEH) 2017 abstraction, these springs no longer exist Improved and now the Brook is entirely Woodland grassland disconnected from the Freshwater chalk aquifer.

The Character of the Landscape
THE CHARACTER OF THE LANDSCAPE The Thames enters the Greater London Area at Hampton. From Hampton to Erith, the river flows through the metropolis; an urban area even though much of the riverside is verdant open space, particularly in the first stretch between Hampton and Kew. The character of the river is wonderfully varied and this chapter concentrates on understanding how that variety works. We have deliberately avoided detailed uniform design guidelines, such as standard building setbacks from the water’s edge. At this level, such guidelines would tend to stifle rather than encourage the variety in character. Instead we have tried to highlight the main factors which determine the landscape character and propose policies to conserve and enhance it. Policy LC 1: New development and new initiatives within the Strategy area should be judged against the paramount aim of conserving and enhancing the unique character of the Thames Landscape as defined in the Strategy. The River Although, being a physical boundary, the river is often on the periphery of county and local authority jurisdictions, it is essentially the centre of the landscape. The Thames has carved the terraces and banks which line its course, the valley sides drain down to its edges and the water acts as the main visual and physical focus. It is a dynamic force, constantly changing with the tide and reflecting the wind and the weather on its surface. KEW SYON Between Hampton and Kew, the Thames is forced around Richmond Hill, flowing from south to north in a series of tight bends. It is not until Putney that the river resumes its gentler rhythm.

The Burial Grounds of Putney London SW15
1 The Burial Grounds of Putney London SW15 Introduction The chronology of Putney’s burial grounds is broadly as follows: St Mary’s Church, Putney Bridge: 12th/13th century to 1763. Putney Old Burial Ground (POBG), Upper Richmond Road: 1763 to 1854. Putney Lower Common Cemetery (PLCC), Mill Hill Road: 1855 to 1891. Putney Vale Cemetery (PVC), Kingston Road: 1891 to present. Closure dates are nominal and burials took place later, e.g. in family graves or in special circumstances. They continued at St Mary’s, in the churchyard (in large numbers) until 1854 and inside the church until 1863; in POBG until 1900; and in PLCC until the 1950s – even as late as 1975. St Mary’s Church The parish church was Putney’s only burial 1797 ground for some 500 years. St Mary’s is not mentioned by name until c. 1290, though there may have been a church or chapel of ease (a satellite of St Mary’s Wimbledon) on the site as early as the 12th century. Nothing remains of those early churches and the oldest part of the present building is the tower, which dates from c. 1450. St Mary’s was severely damaged by a storm in 1703, was rebuilt, apart from the tower, in 1836, and extensively damaged by an arson-started fire during the night of 6th/7th June 1973, with only the walls, columns and, again, the 15th century tower surviving. Rebuilding, to a design by Ronald Sims, with the altar, unusually, on the north side and stained glass by Alan Younger (who also designed the stained glass above the entrance to Putney Exchange) was completed in 1982.
