HOUSEWARMING AT BADSEY
Mr Joseph Knight’s housewarming dinner at the Wheat Sheaf Inn, Badsey, took place on the 13th inst, when upwards of 30 gentlemen sat down to an excellent dinner provided by the worthy host. The chair was taken by Mr W Parker. After the cloth was drawn, the usual loyal toasts were given, and the evening, which was spent in a friendly and social manner, was enlivened with some excellent songs, etc.
Two months earlier, widower Joseph had married widow, Esther Cook, who, at the time of the 1851 census had been living with her first husband at The Wheatsheaf where he was a baker and grocer.
