May 1901 - Two entertainments at the Old School, Badsey
TWO ENTERTAINMENTS
TWO ENTERTAINMENTS
THE GREAT FLOOD
It is worthy of a place in our records that the worst flood known for many years, some say 30 years, occurred on the last day of the century. The houses at the mill and some in Wickhamford were entirely surrounded by water, and a very great inconvenience was caused to the inhabitants in consequence. In some cases the houses were entirely inundated on the ground floor.
CLOTHING AND COAL CLUBS
It does not seem to be generally known that the Clothing and Coal Clubs are being continued this year. Payments are received from the Badsey and Wickhamford people at the Vicarage on Mondays at 12 noon. Mrs. and Miss Savory are kindly managing the Clubs at Aldington as before.
SUNDAY SCHOOLS
LECTURES FOR WOMEN
A course of Six Lectures for women only, on "First Aid" will be given in the Parish Room at the Vicarage by Miss Sykes. These Lectures will be in continuation of the course on "Nursing" given by Miss Sykes last year. The first lecture will be given on Tuesday, February 20th, at 6.30 p.m., and the other lectures on the five following Tuesdays at the same hour.
BADSEY CHURCH - A HISTORY
The following notes on the history of the Church, as given in the report of the architect (T. G. Jackson, Esq.) at the time of the restoration, are worthy of being put on record. The report is dated January 1st, 1884, and says as follows:
MISCELLANEOUS
We take this opportunity of offering our best, thanks to Mr. William Bennett for giving a half of ton of coke to the Church at Badsey, and also to Mrs. Savory for presenting two embroidered alms bags to Wickhamford Church.
Four lectures on Home Nursing for Women will be given by Miss Edith Sykes in the Vicarage Parish room on Mondays, February 6th, 15th, 20th, and 27th, at 7 p.m. Admission free.
SUNDAY SCHOOLS AND PENNY BANK
THE VILLAGE NURSE
We are desired to state that Nurse Gammond is now resident at 1, Belmont Terrace, Badsey. It is hoped that steps will shortly be taken to ensure the permanent residence in this locality of such a well-qualified nurse who may be at the ready call of those living in the neighbourhood who may require her services.
