Lizzie writes Mo and Do, as we called them, started a little shop at Daisy Cottage, selling things they had made, originating from Do's woodworking. These were displayed in the right hand bay window as you face the cottage. They featured beautifully hand crafted and decorated dolls, and mice of all shapes and sizes. There were also larger items which had been turned on Do's lathe, such as plates, bowls and even barometer casings

It was a partiucular treat for Kate and I, whenever we came to stay at Daisy Cottage to be allowed to choose one thig from the shop, and I still have some of the beautiful dolls and mice that they had made together

CAMBRIDGE EVENING NEWS, Thursday, October 2, 1980
Clerics' celebration . . . (from left) Paul, John, Christopher, Peter and Alaric. Four brothers with almost 250 years service in the Church of England between them got together for a 70th birthday celebration yesterday.
The Rev Christopher WANSEY, who is retired and lives at West Wickham, near Haverhill, celebrated reaching the biblical three-score years and 10 With his older brothers Paul, aged 74, John, 73, and Canon Peter, 72. His sister, Mary Rose, who is herself married to a clergyman, Canon Alaric Rose, was also there.
Religion has always run in the WANSEY family. All the brothers were born in Japan, where their parents were missionaries. They came to England just before the First World War and were educated at Selwyn College and Westcott House, Cambridge.
Christopher returned to Japan and spent four years there as a missionary until the outbreak of the second war.
He retired from his parish at Roydon, Chelmsford, in 1975 and has lived at West Wickham ever since. During his retirement he has written an autobiographical book, 'The Clockwork Church' and his birthday was celebrated yesterday with a service at West Wickham church, followed by a party in the evening. Two of his brothers, Canon Paul WANSEY, recently retired as Rector of Woodbridge in Suffolk, and Peter, presently vicar at High Coniscliffe, County Durham, were both wounded in North Africa in the second war and were awarded the Military Cross. John, who is also retired, was until recently the Vicar of West Lavington, Essex, and now lives in Chichester. Christopher lives with his wife, Olive, at 6 High Street. They have one daughter and two granddaughters.

Dear Mr Wansey
Before you go on leave, I should like to express to you my gratitude for the work you have undertaken on behalf of this Government in connexion with torpedoed seamen.
I realise that much of the success which has attended the Grammer School Hostel, the absence of friction in dealing with its inmates, and the efficient organization of the supply of extra clothing and comforts, have been due to your unselfish devotion to the needs of these unfortunate men.
With good wishes for a safe journey to England and for all success in the future,
Yours very sincerely Hubert Stevenson

Rules of 'Bumping'
A bumps race is a form of rowing race in which a number of boats chase each other in single file, each crew attempting to catch and 'bump' the boat in front without being caught by the boat behind. The form is mainly used in intercollegiate competitions at the University's of Cambridge and Oxford. It is particularly suitable where the stretch of water available is long but narrow, precluding side-by-side racing

Dear Peter
The other new master came on Monday. His name is Hazel and I think he is rather a 'spike'. Anyhow, he must be some good at cricket since he got me out (on my first appearance) for a duck. The other master also plays - There were nets on Monday and Tuesday four overs of a game on Wednesday - after which it began to pelt, fielding practise on Thursday, and a game yesterday. I don't think there's any more news. With much love from your loving brother

Dear Peter
Thank you very much for your letter. There hasn't been much doing at school in the last week except a match against the town 2nd yesterday when I wasn't playing. In the first innings we made 20 and Warminster 31 but in the second we made 46 and just skittled them out for 26, before stumps were drawn. Next week we have 3 matches, on Monday against Shaftesbury, Thursday K.E.S. and Saturday against - (sorry! I've forgotten,) but perhaps we won't play any, since 2 kids have got measles. I advertised my gun in the Bazaar a little while ago, and consequently have sold it for 25/-. I am now advertising my P. Bars. I don't think there's any more news. From your loving brother

July 11th | Dear Peter,
Thank you very much for your letter. I couldn't imagine for a long time what you meant by my fall' but then I remembered I tripped up getting into the pavvy via the window, but I didn't hurt myself much. We played S B[?] yesterday. I had the ball from Harris and got 2 off it, but then the other chaps (Harland) was caught and since I was the last man, I retired. I am at present 5th in the average with 4.5, but will most probably go down to 3 after the last 2 matches. I don't think there's any more news. From your loving brother.

5TH APRIL, 1912. THE FRIEND | FRIENDS' MISSION WORK IN JAPAN
THE accompanying photograph [below dated August 1911] is that of a family of Friends (members of Darlington Monthly Meeting) who reside at Nikko, Japan; H. R. Wansey being engaged in mission work in the coal and copper mining districts of the Island of Hondo. He went out to Japan under the auspices of the Church Missionary Society; but as the result of becoming personally acquainted with some members of the Society of Friends and the study of Quaker literature, he was led to adopt Friends' views and to put them into practice in his life and work. He felt that he could not conscientiously remain as a clergyman of the Established Church, and consequently resigned his position under the C.M.S., thereby losing the financial support of that Society.
In 1910, after receiving a visit from Henry Clark, a member of Darlington Monthly Meeting, who was touring in Japan, H. R. Wansey applied to that Monthly Meeting for membership and was accepted, the application being strongly supported by H. Clark and by other Friends in Japan. From all sources good reports have been recieved with respect to H. R. Wansey's work, and Darlington Friends, as well as members of other Monthly Meetings, have interested themselves in his work. Edward Backhouse of White House, Stockton-on-Tees, and Ernest O. D. Sibson, of 36 Elton Parade, Darlington, have been asked to act as correspondents, on behalf of the Monthly Meeting, with these far distant members, and they will be glad to answer any inquiries with respect to our Friends and their work and its support

Nick often goes to number 10 which remains intact. It was a residence for the Church Missionary Society, so it is interesting that it was where my grandparents started their married life

1901 NORTHERN DESPATCH FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 1959 | Picture from the past
This interesting photograph is of members of St. Cuthbert's (Darlington) Bible Class of 1901, taken in the church doorway.
It is contributed to PICTURES OF THE PAST by Canon P.N. Wansey, Vicar of Darlington, and the great point of interest is that in the centre of the back row is his father, the Rev. H. R. Wansey, who was curate at St. Cuthbert's from 1899-1901

Circa 1899 Henry Raymond WANSEY and sisters and possibly his father
There is no record of the people in the photo, with nothing written on the back or on the page. Henry Raymond is seated. The two ladies are probably Henry Raymond's unmarried sisters Margaret & Florence. Margaret would be 27 yrs and Florence would be 29 yrs. Florence married when she was 36 yrs to Arthur Ralph THOPSON in 1906. Margaret remained unmarried and was later an artist who lived in Kensington.
If the standing man is Henry Raymond's father Arthur Henry he would be 72 yrs. He died 18th Oct 1902 [Patricia GOVE nee ROSE Photo]

Circa 1897 (Presuming Henry Raymond is 24 yrs old)
He was ordained as a deacon in the Durham diocese on 19th December 1897, I assume this photograph was taken shortly after. He was ordained as a priest in the Durham diocese on 28 May 1899

The following is copied from: www.bristollawsociety.com
Arthur Henry Wansey was President of Bristol Law Society from 1891-2.
The London Gazette of May 17th 1859 refers to an auction of the Netham chemical works comprising freehold and leasehold property in St George on the banks of the River Avon. The land together with all building, plant and machinery had previously been owned by Stephen Cox (the lease being for the annual rent of £120) was to be auctioned in the Commercial Rooms in Corn Street pursuant to an order from the Chancery Court. The London Gazette reports that particulars of the property could be viewed in the offices of Palmer and Wansey on Corn Street.
Wansey could not have been in practice for very long, being born in 1827 in Warminster. He was to move to Clifton, building a house called Sambourne on the Clifton Downs near to Sea Walls. Wansey was a Non-Conformist, enjoyed hunting and shooting and went on regular fly-fishing holidays to Ireland and Scotland. He came to the Law at an early age, practising from the early 1950s. He first went into partnership with Henry Palmer, who was his brother-in-law, and in 1860 Wansey became Registrar of the Tolzey Court (a position that Palmer had previously held) later becoming a Deputy Judge.
[Henry Andrews PALMER married Margaret WANSEY (Bn 1808 Dd 1839) on the 25th July 1835 att Saint Denys, Warminster. They had one known child, Emily E. PALMER (Bn 22nd Jan 1837)
Emily E. PALMER married Rev John Meek CLARK in 1865 at Clifton, Gloucestershire. They had three children Margaret, Marian & Basil.]

In 1863 A.H. Wansey’s office was at 24 Clare Street, which was also the Tolzey Court Office, while in 1887 his office was in St. Stephens’ Chambers on Baldwin Street. Wansey’s son Arthur Edward joined him in practice following his passing of the Law examinations, but sadly died in 1892. By 1897 A.H. Wansey’s firm was still known under the title of A.H. Wansey and Son, although his only other surviving son had joined the Church. Following the death of his son, Wansey went into partnership with Edward Meade-King and by 1908 the firm was known as Wansey and Meade-King.
Wansey died in October 1902 aged 74 and his obituary in the Bristol Mercury described him as a man of commanding presence and looks with a genial and kindly nature. He had an 'old time courtesy which impressed itself on all those who had dealings with him'.
