A very local stop off this morning in search of my Brontë history links. This was Roe Head, the school attended by the Brontë sisters, and where Charlotte went on to teach.

A newspaper report from Apr 1928 headed "A Chatham Divorce" summarising a court case where Mrs Lilian Francis Harmsworth filed for divorce against her husband George Harmsworth due to his adultery and alleged cruelty. The text details marriage in 1912, military service from 1914 to 1919, and the court's decision granting Mrs Harmsworth custody of their child and decree nisi with costs.
Eight years later, in 1928, she secured an uncontested divorce on grounds of his adultery. She remarried soon after - and I hope, at last, she found stability and happiness 🌹

The Gordon Moodey lecture 2026 Monday 13 April at 7.45 pm 'Making the starry vault of heaven: unlocking a masterpiece of Tudor carpentry at Hampton Court Palace' by Dr Lee Prosser, Historic Royal Palaces The ceiling of the Chapel Royal at Hampton Court Palace, with its gilded angels is one of England's greatest 16th century architectural achievements. Yet what appears to be a stone vault is entirely constructed in timber, and stands as a complicated creation of Henry VIII's carpenters in the 1530s. A new research project has begun to reveal the fascinating story of its conception and creation.
Save the date for our AGM on Monday, April 13 at 7pm, followed by the Gordon Moodey lecture at 7:45 (below).

Picking daffodils, 1950s. Mrs Ruth Wallis, née Ruth Hosking Williams, holding a basket of newly cut daffodils. From Skewjack, near Sennen, Mrs Wallis later lived at Roskestal Farm, St Levan. In the 1950s and ‘60s the daffodils were always picked in full bloom to send away. Nowadays, they are harvested in bud.
Rescued seal, St Ives, 1956. A baby seal, who washed up three times in St. Ives and Hayle, seen on the sofa with artist Robert Brennan. It was finally rescued from Porthgwidden beach in November 1956 and Mr Brennan put it in his bath for safe keeping, before the RSPCA took it to Mousehole Wild Bird Hospital.
Lighthouse Keeper relieved from duty, Wolf Rock, 1950s. Lighthouse keeper J. S. Hughes being relieved from duty at Wolf Rock. Hughes is perilously transported from the lighthouse to a Trinity House relief vessel via a system of ropes and pulleys. This was the only way of getting people on and off the lighthouse. Three lighthouse keepers at a time would serve a two-month spell of duty, but as the transfer was weather dependent going home could sometimes be delayed by bad sea conditions.
Geevor miners, 1950s. Miners Dickie Dodd and Joe Wall in front of Victory Shaft with its newly installed steel headgear and electric winder. In Douglas Williams’s book West Cornwall Camera this image is captioned “A typically robust study of two Geevor tin miners”.

Great Ellingham One-Place Study. Image: Photo looking along a village street on a sunny, blue-skied day. On the left is a two-storey, four-bay cottage with white walls and a tiled roof, with further cottages and their gardens further along that side of the street. On the right, part of another building with white walls can be seen in the foreground, with the spire-topped tower of the village church a little further long the street, partially hidden by a couple of trees. One-Place Studies, where family history and local history unite.
The story of Brick Kiln Farm (and those who lived there) continues on Heather Etteridge’s Great Ellingham One-Place Study website, with two posts added so far this month. Some #OnePlaceStudy reading for you on #OnePlaceWednesday!
