Peter Blount - clockmaker	by Cyril D. Blount (Member 10131495) on 3-Sep-2004
Cleobury Mortimer had a clockmaker in the 18th Century by the name of Peter Blount (1688-1765) He was my 5xggf. He used to look after the clock in the Church. His son was a papermaker - Charles Blount (c1715-c1777). I decided to write this message when I saw the reference to Paper Mill Cottages in one of the replies. Does anyone know anything about them? Any advertising leaflets for the cloc kmaker? A painting of his workshop, which was in Pinkham Close? Clocks made by him? Pieces of paper (I think it was blotting-paper) made by Charles? Thanks Cyril Blount ... more >> Re: Peter Blount - clockmaker by Cyril D. Blount (Member 10131495) on 6-Oct-2004 Further to my message about Peter Blount the clockmaker (1688-1865) of Cleobury Mortimer - here is another question: Do you know where the Trustees Minute Books are for the Lacon Child School when it was still a Charity School in the 18th Century? Peter took apprentices from the School and I would like to see the records. Reply

Baxters and Whatmores	by pritari (Member 10094348) on 18-Apr-2003
Does anyone from Kinlet have any information about the Baxter family? My Baxter ancestors left the Kinlet area in the late 19th century, but there were still relatives living there as of the 1901 census... My mother remembers being taken to visit a (strawberry ?) farm in Cleobury Mortimer as a child - it was owned by a family named Whatmore, and she had the impression that they were Baxter rela tives. Anyone know anything about this? Thanks! ... more >> Reply

Rubbish Dump	by phil (Member 10087831) on 21-Jan-2003
Hi. I am doing some research on cleobury,does anyone know where the victorian rubbish dump is or was, ie where did the good people of cleobury dump their rubbish. Re: Rubbish Dump by John Brewer (Member 10046071) on 20-Feb-2003 I was born in Cleobury in 1951 and lived there until 1970, and have returned there often to visit family. I recall one dump, although whether it goes back to Victorian times I do not know. It is up the lane to Barnsland from the Tenbury Road, on the left about a two-thirds of the way up, just inside the field. Its indentations can still be seen. Would not parish records help? Good luck Re: Rubbish Dump by Brian Challoner (Member 10227863) on 21-Jun-2008 Nothing to do with the rubbish dump but i recognise the name John Brewer, i was just searching the site for old times sake - john the last i heard of you you were in belfast.... what new? Re: Rubbish Dump by John Brewer (Member 10175207) on 6-Aug-2008 Hello Brian. What a pleasant surprise. I was in Cleobury for a two week holiday in early July and met up with Melvyn Romeo and Trevor Green, and we reminisced about the old days with Michael Conniff. I moved from Queen's University Belfast to the University of Aberdeen in 2004, but I married again to a Belfast girl (Grace Bray and I divorced in 1991) and the marital home remains in Belfast. You sh ould look up Lacon Childe School on Friends Reunited, there are plenty of names you'd recognise (Philip Millichamp?). Last I heard of you, you were in Spain, keeping a bar. Let me know more. My email is j.brewer@abdn.ac.uk. The Lacon Childe crowd from Friends Reunited would be pleased to hear about you. ... more >> Reply

Aerial Cottage	by Kerry (Member 10063541) on 25-Mar-2002
just wondered if anyone remembers this place, and if it still exists. T.P.Riley School owned it in the 50/60's, and i am researching it as part of my IT Website on the schools past, and know that it was used by pupils every 3 to 4 weeks socially. All i know is that it was in Cleobury Mortimer! Not much to go by, but maybe somebody recognises the name. please help me and i am very interested in lea rning more about this particular aspect of my schools history.

Sorry. Re: Aerial Cottage by Ben Griffiths (Member 10117173) on 12-Feb-2004 Probably now too late, but if it is any use, Aerial Cottage is on the road to cleeton st. mary, up a long bumpy track, just below the radar on clee hill.

Cleobury Primary School 1966- 1973	by Jackie Lines (Member 10040719) on 12-Aug-2001
Well I would love to hear from old friends Philip Jones, Imogen Brindley, Fay Robinson, Simon Bailey, Beryl Carter, Vanda Phillips, all the Plesters, Tim and Margie Lloyd, Stephen (Chico) and Sandra Phillips, Jane Chapman, David and Jane Atcherley, Anne Benson, any Bills's and if I haven't mentioned your name, email me and jog my ageing memory. I visited CM very briefly in May 2001 and found it m uch unchanged - Glad to see my branch of Lloyds Bank is now a - trendy branch of Lloyds Bank. My kids were disappointed no doughnuts at Onions's the old bakers (now Brown's ?), - but will try again next time passing through. Who remembers Knowles's where we used to pretend we were getting cigarettes for our Mum, John Cope's Butchers when it first opened, Dr Stanway's practice opposite the old post office (when it was a post office), sledging on Clavers, and being in Mrs Purselow's reception class long before they rebuilt the school where the solitary swing, bars, rings and slide used to be on the playing field? ... more >> Re: Cleobury Primary School 1966- 1973 by John Brewer (Member 10046071) on 1-Oct-2001 Jacquie - are you Bob Lines daughter? I recall he was the biology teacher at Lacon Childe's School and that you used to live at the top of Ronhill bank. You may not recall me since I was at the secondary school for most of the period you describe (1963-1968), which is why I recall your father. I have to say I hated biology! The fact that I was headboy (1967-68) was entirely down to the fact that I was good at sport. Now I'm a university professor in sociology - sounds a bit like biology but thank the lord it's nothing like it in subject matter. ... more >> Re: Cleobury Primary School 1966- 1973 by Jackie Lines (Member 10040719) on 23-Sep-2002 Yes John, I am. I never knew he was the Biology teacher there, and he never helped me with my A level - busman's holiday I expect. He and my mother moved to Aberystwyth some years ago. Re: The Lines Family by kathryn edwards (Member 10121703) on 6-Apr-2004 Hello Jackie Lines! You are a few years younger than me I think! Your father Bob Lines taught science I think, and was my form teacher in the first year at Lacon Childe. By that time, Batman Bill Smith was teaching biology. Your Dad was highgly amused because I had aspirations to become an actress!! Your mother taught me at the Junior school - she took over from Miss Jones who went off to Au stralia or new Zealand. She taught some French, amongst other things, I remember. Yes, I do remember Mrs Purslow - tucking one's dress into knickers and doing music and movement. I especially remember Mrs Purslow for removing a large splinter from the palm of my hand with the biggest needle I'd ever seen. ... more >> Re: Cleobury Primary School 1966- 1973 by angelina romeo (Member 10241214) on 3-Oct-2009 hi jaci yes i remember you and your parents!!!!!!!!!!!!!
