  • Lance-Corporal Sydney Vernon Pickering
    Lance-Corporal Sydney Vernon Pickering The British Fifth Army attacks on the Somme front stopped over the winter of 1916. They were reduced to surviving the rain, snow, fog, mud fields, waterlogged trenches and shell- holes. As preparations for the spring offensive at Arras began, the 1/4th Battalion of the 12th Battalion Middlesex Regiment prepared to capture the village of Bihucourt in early March 1917. The attacks commenced in January in the Ancre Valley against exhausted German troops holding poor defensive positions left from the fighting in 1916. The Pickering family can trace their origins back to James Pickering and his wife Jane, both born, c1801, in Staffordshire. In the 1841 census James, a ‘tallow chandler’ is living with his family of five sons and a daughter in Upper Green, Newcastle under Lyme. James’ eldest son John was born on 20th November 1820 at Etruriai and baptised at St Giles Church, Newcastle under Lyme on 3rd December 1820.ii John, like his father, became a tallow chandler.iii On 30th August 1846, John married Frances Williams, daughter of Edward Williams a basket maker at Bishop Ryder’s Church, Gem Street, Gosta Green, Birmingham (now demolished to make way for building Aston University). John’s address given on the marriage certificate was 1, Nelson Street South. By 1851, John and Frances and their five children (Mary, their first child is not recorded in the 1851 census but reappears in the 1861 census) are living at 24a, Fordrough Street, Birmingham. John is now Figure 1: Bishop Ryder’s Church, a ‘master chandler, employer and Gosta Green, Birmingham manufacturer’.

  • Bells in and Around Birmingham: a Survey and History
    BELLS IN AND AROUND BIRMINGHAM: A SURVEY AND HISTORY (PART 1: PREFACE, EXPLANATORY NOTES, INTRODUCTION, LOCATIONS A-E) Chris Pickford Version date: 29/09/2020 Preface Not long after I took up ringing in 1966 I began collecting information on the bells in Worcestershire (where I was at boarding school) and Warwickshire (where my parents lived). I date my first ‘serious’ visits to April 1968 since when I have been working intermittently on comprehensive surveys of bells in the two counties. The prospect of tackling a large urban area like Birmingham was always a rather daunting one and for a long time I skirted round it. However, when I took on the role of Bells Adviser to the Birmingham Diocesan Advisory Committee in 1987 I decided to pick up the challenge and during the course of the next couple of years managed to visit nearly every belfry in the area. The work originally led to the creation of a Diocesan Inventory (rather in the format of the present National Bells Register) and the updating of the Council for the Care of Churches’ preservation list for the Diocese. I stepped down as Bells Adviser in 1998 but in 2003-4 - following a return to the Midlands - I did some further survey work and wrote up the entire work in its present form. Since then I have tried to keep it up to date as best I can. I never intended this to be a book - and long ago gave up talking of books to replace Walters’s books on the Church Bells of Warwickshire (1910) Church Bells of Worcestershire (1925-31) - as this sort of study is too specialised (and too detailed in this form) for traditional publication.
