Saturday 19 October 1901 – Retirement of Arthur H Savory of Aldington Manor

RETIRED

Mr Arthur H Savory of Aldington Manor, who has been a successful agriculturist, has just relinquished farming in this district.  Acknowledging a handsome presentation made to him by the Badsey Rangers Football Club the other night, he said that in his 28 years at Aldington he had spent £1000 a year in labour, another £1000 a year in rent, rates, cattle, etc, and another £1000 a year in manures etc, so that he ought to have made his fortune and let someone else have a turn.
