Covenant Card

Not sure when this dates from (1930s or 1940s) or how old the wording is. Interesting though.

Chapel Exterior c 1970

This exterior side shot is probably from around 1970 too. Not much has changed

Chapel Interior c 1970

 

This picture must have been taken in the early seventies (or perhaps late sixties) when the chapel was in a state of disrepair and the meetings took place in the hall next door.

William Rickard's roots

A now removed entry about Weston Mill in Pennycross, Devon, said that

At the time of the census in 1851, 33-years-old Mr James Boon was the corn miller, employing nine men. His wife, Maria, was 38 and they had a two-years-old son, William, who was born at Pennycross. In addition to a visitor from London, there were two manservant cum labourers, Richard and John Wills, aged 15 and 17 respectively, and two female house servants, Miss Susan Pascoe, 20, and Miss Eliza Knight, 16.

Possibly one of the millers that James employed was a Mr William Rickard, the 14-years-old son of farm labourer, Mr Thomas Rickard (born 1792), who lived nearby.
