Hello again
You are Uncle Em’s great-granddaughter!
What a nice surprise! He was such a gentleman. Everyone in the family really liked him & loved seeing him.
I will share a little more later.
I am not on FB, & so I sent an email to your church/work address: office@icdurham.org (Subject: Message for Angela Flynn from Barbara Kienzle)
I hope that was right.
I am trying to find Huguenot ancestors who lived in Worcestershire sometime before and around 1750 with the name Minett (or similar spelling). Our ancestor Thomas Minett moved to Oswestry where he got married in 1782. He was a malster and innkeeper (Sun Inn in Oswestry). I have found several Minetts in the Evesham area that are likely relatives and would welcome any information I can get to find the right ancestors. with thanks in advance
If you look at the People Index on our website, you will see that there were five people with the name of MINET living in Badsey from at least 1778-1800. Where they came from and where they went to after James Minet’s death in 1800 (or this family line may simply have died out) is not known. I see from Ancestry that there was a James Minet, son of Thomas and Mary Minet, baptised in 1734 in London, and a James Minet, son of Jonathan Minet, baptised in 1734 in Stratford-on-Avon. James’ age at time of death was given as 67, so those two people are possible lines of enquiry.
Thanks for this information. I have been looking into these Minets but not been able to find a link to the Thomas Minett who moved on to live in Oswestry. So I was hoping that someone would be able to provide more information in the hope that I could link any of them to our family tree.
If you click on Churchyard Inscriptions, then Church Survey Books by Peter Stewart, then Bengeworth, Evesham. In that book you will a number of Minett burials in both the old Parish Church of Bengeworth, and a number of Minett burials in the index to burials in Bengeworth Cemetery, Evesham, which I have added to the rear of the book. As for the rest of Evesham, there is only one Minett burial in All Saints Churchyard, and that was James Minett who buried there in 1850. There is also a single burial in Waterside Cemetery, Evesham, a William Minett who was buried there in 1982.
Just been trying to trace a family connection with the Phillips Family and Evesham and your site proved extremely helpful leading me to the Riverside Hotel which was Haven Court in 1939
This was such a delight to read about the Land Girls at Wickhamford Manor...and to see a picture of my my mum Irene Seymour...in Joan Galloways album was such a surprise:)
I am so pleased that you have discovered the Badsey Society website and enjoyed the article on the Land Army Girls, including your mother, who were billeted in Wickhamford Manor in WW2.
It was an absolute pleasure for Tom and I to visit Joan Broscomb (nee Galloway) and see her wonderful collection of photos and for her to allow us include them on the website.
I wonder if by any chance you might have any photos or memorabilia relating to your mother's time at Wickhamford. If so we would love to see them and include them in the website.
Your help would be much appreciated.

Hello Jo,
If you contact me via the Badsey Society email address ,then we can arrange how to make contact to look at your photos and get copies to us to put on the web-site.
Further to my recent query, I have downloaded a copy of Anthony Jarrett's Will (1635) from the National Archives and he did indeed have property in Chipping Campden and Broad Campden as well as Evesham and Bengeworth. His children were Augustine and William, Elizabeth and Rebecca and he had grandchildren. Augustine and William Marten - Rebecca's children. If you are able to add anything else I would be grateful, particularly if you have any information about Anthony Jarrett's brother Augustine.
As part of Chipping Campden History Society's Campden House project, I am researching the life of Sir Baptist Hicks (1551-1629) and there were a number of law suits between him and members of the Jarrett family about his acquisition of the Manor of Campden. I am wondering if there is any link between the Badsey/Aldington Jarretts and the Campden Jarretts? My Jarretts were Augustine, Anthony and Richard and their father was possibly Christopher. I don't have much information about them - Augustine was a malster and Anthony and Richard were dyers, but also landholders. Anthony is sometimes described as 'gentleman'. I have no dates of birth, marriage or death, although there is a will for Richard, probate granted 7th Feb 1633; his children were Clemens (d), Judith, Mary, Perkins, Margaret, Augustine, Richard and Elizabeth. Augustine is not a very common name, and neither is Jarrett, so I just thought there might be some connection. Can you help?
Thank you for your email. I am not aware of a connection between the Badsey Jarretts and Chipping Campden Jarretts, but that is not to say that there is not. Augustine Jarrett (1647-1685), whose memorial (along with his parents) is in Badsey Church, was the youngest son of William Jarrett (c1608-1681) and Jane Watson. If you go to the index of people, https://www.badseysociety.uk/index-people, on the Badsey Society website, you will see all the mentions of Jarretts. Summarised details of Augustine's will, https://www.badseysociety.uk/wills/56051, which will give you some idea of family relationships. I hope this helps.
I have only recently found this ancestor and have been very interested to see his home and advertisement. He was the step-son of John Poole. His mother was Joyce Poole nee Jelfs. Now about to search for a photo of The Royal Oak, Badsey where John Poole was innkeeper and where Alfred George Kerr grew up.
Thank you for making contact, Sue. We would be delighted to receive some photographs of the Butcher family, so that I can add them to the WW1 section 'Wickhamford Goes to War'. As Muriel was the only Wickhamford woman who I found who had served, it would be especially nice to have a picture of her.
What a great book - both Dad and I enjoyed it - Dad recognised most of the names. Didn't realise you were mentioning my Great Grandad, Auntie and Uncle as we could have provided pictures.
Dear Readers My names Lee Gibson Im a historian dose anyone have any old photos of Aldington siding? my Moore ancestors lived there.
Email classicmotorcycle124@gmail.com
What an amazing website - My grandfather was Samuel Grove who lived at ' Summerfields' - That was all I knew. To find a picture of the house and details of the address is remarkable. Are there any folk named Grove still living in Badsey?
We just wanted to say well done, for firstly writing the book and for a very interesting evening.
From a personal point of view I met Terry Sparrow again after 38 years - Terry was secretary for a very strong Badsey Rangers team that I played in as a 15/16 year old ! He was brilliant in everything he did then and nothing has changed.
Brian Smith’s contribution was particularly poignant for me, as my Grandfather Norris also talked very little about his time in WW1 - preferring to forget the horrors that he witnessed.
I remember visiting him in hospital just before he passed and I will never forget those final moments.
Grandad thought he was in a field hospital on the front, all he kept saying was how wonderful the nurses and doctors were looking after “our poor boys”
Sixty years after the conflict at the age of 86 and having rarely spoken of WW1, he sadly ended his days with it firmly in his mind and unwittingly recalling it.
What a fantastic and inspiring website! I have visited hundreds of websites while researching former pupils of Christ College (the school attended by three of the Sladden brothers) but I can't think of one that shows such meticulous detail, while also making local history so accessible and digital resources so easily available. The site and its attendant research is an extraordinary achievement. Congratulations to all concerned.
My family lived in Wickhamford in 1901 in the place that now has Whytebury and Oakenshaw cottages. They were the Farman family who moved to the Fleece Yard in Bridge Street, Evesham until the cottages were pulled down late twenties. They then moved to Laburnham Cottage in Orchard Walk, Evesham. In 1999 when my last relative there passed away I had to clear the cottage and found many amazing old items etc. Amongst them was a pencil and charcoal drawing of a cottage, dated 24th December 1908 signed by T or J Freeman. Years later, through your amazing site, I found exactly the same cottage amongst your photos! It was only then that I realised the significance of the drawing! I had it framed and it has hung in my house ever since. My question is, who was the artist? There's no one left to ask, but I'm so glad I kept the drawing at the time.
Thank you for your comments, Sue. I came across the photograph quite by accident when following up another line of research, but realised where the cottages were as Corner Cottage is in the background. I would like to add your drawing to the website if possible. If that is all right with you perhaps you could let me know and we can arrange matters.
Hello I am researching my family tree. I know several of the Plumb side are buried in Waterside.
I am aware of mu grandparent Albert and Annie Maud Plumb and their sones Harry And baby Albert but am wondering if if there is a list of people buried at Waterside that I can access online as I as quite a way from the HUB inn worcester.
My book on Waterside cemetery, covering all the burials, up until 2005, is in the Evesham Library. You have to ask for it as it is locked away, and for reference only. I can tell you that there are a total of 17 persons with the name Plumb buried in Waterside, 4 in Bengeworth and 2 in Hampton. There are 3 Checketts buried in Waterside and 2 in Hampton. I see that your grandparents are Albert & Annie Maude Plumb who have a monument in the cemetery as do your great grandparents Albert & Mary Ann. Some your gandfather's brothers are also in Waterside.
I have given my e-mail address should you require any help.
My grateful thanks for all the work done on this site.....I'm directly descended from the Hobys as my grandmother was Elise Philippa Salfeld Hoby. It is remarkable how much she resembled some of the faces on the tombs both here and at Bisham and indeed I have a Hoby Nose and hands. Grandmama was very interested indeed in family doing and history and she'd have been overjoyed to see how much people are prepared to make all this available to the public. What a pity she didn't live into the age of the internet.
If my genealogical research is correct and I am following the right line of my ancestry, I believe I am a great-great-great granddaughter of Thomas Thorp (1780-1848) who was part of the family who owned the silk mill in Badsey. I have found your article about the Thorp family and the mill extremely interesting and it has made some of my research a lot easier. I think I am on the correct ancestral route as some of your information in the article ties in with information I had already found. I hope to visit Badsey at some time in the future
with reference to pic and details of Sherwood farm the notes say this house / bungalow was built in the 1960s can I confirm this is wrong information . the house was built in 1975 as it was built by my father.
I am related...through my Mum, who was an Agg. I will have to visit Badsey soon....I’m sure there are relations of mine still around. Decimus Agg was related to us.
