1: Post-1897, church has a clock
(installed 1897); note the 'big tree' in the churchyard behind the pub.
2: The village school class appears to be sitting in front of the pub; note
the number of chimneys at the front.
3: Village outing, card date on front 14th August 1906 (courtesy Dartington
Rural Archive)
4. Same event
5: Post-1948, possibly 1952, the hunt at the pub, note one chimney less and
work stains on main and 'prentice' rooves following removal of a chimney
after a fire at the pub in 1948.
[The Church House Inn was sold on 5th June 1950 by the church trustees to
Iris Bamford.]
6. Bar card used by Wilfred & Mary Fry, identical to the one produced a
little earlier by Mark & Betty Goddard.
7. The Frys with the hunt in 1953.
8. The Frys again, celebrating the Coronation of Elizabeth II the same year.
9. 1950s, the chimney removal scars have healed, and the trench repair
patterns in the tarmac look the same as on the bar card.
10. Either it's coincidence that the church clock says the same time as 9.
or 9. and 10. are essentially the same photo.
11. An E. M. Morison (Totnes) postcard, bearing a 3p stamp, which gives a
sending date between Feb 1971 and Sept 1973
12. From the 1977 Jubilee Album, note another change of chimney.
13: For those that know the Church House Inn, this photo is taken from by the
double doors. The bar hatch was at the front of the building. The area
occupied by the present-day bar was then 3 separate rooms. The 'Square' is
behind the wall to the right.
14/15: Photos taken from old bar hatch, looking towards double doors, single
front door visible beyond. Wall with leaded light on right is no longer
present (two slightly different picture framings).
16. The former Globe Inn, closed in 1952 by Mark & Betty Goddard, which
became Marbeth Cottage (and much later Globe House) at the bottom of the
village. The sign above the door reads "William H White Retailer of Spirits
& Beer to be Consumed on the Premises. Dealer in Tobacco" This property is
shown as 'Annexe Cottage' on the bar card at 6. This postcard was posted in
1918 and bears a Harberton postmark. |
