From Chicklade And Pertwood, A Short Parish History by E.R. Barty, M.A., Chicklade, Old Rectory, first published December 1955:
SOUTHRIDGE AND OTHER HOUSES
In early Victorian times “Mr. Millet lived in the last house in Hindon on the Salisbury road (now Southridge). He went to the house in 1817 and was a Churchwarden (1819-1827). David Mead met with a carriage accident turning the corner there in which he was severely injured and obliged to be put to bed in the Millett’s house where he was laid up for some time. Miss Millett attended him during his illness and afterwards he made her his wife. Mr. Millett was a Solicitor.”
This romantic episode is described in a manuscript work in Devizes Museum :Library, entitled “Monumental Inscriptions” Vol. IV. “Chicklade’ collected by Canon Goddard.
From the “Monumental Inscriptions” we learn that “Charles Millett, Esq. died Feb. 22 1854 aged 75 years and Hannah his wife June 21 1861 aged 84 years.” (Tombstone on North side). Also “in memory of Caroline Hannah, relict of the Rev. David Mead M.A. – and younger daughter of Charles Millett, Esq. who died June 7 1859.” (Tombstone on South side).
From the same volume we learn that Dr. William Dawe lived in the house lately owned by John Locke, Esq. (i.e. Chicklade House).
Lydia Dawe, his widow, died 1852, aged 68 years.
John Pople rented the farm at the East End of the Parish, now the Manor Farm. He died in 1862.
“The family of Hull lived at the farm near Knoyle Down.” (Knoyle Down farm occupied now and for many years by the Warren family). It is not in Chicklade Parish. We have already noted in “Parish Plan and Award’ that Thomas Hull was one of the chief proprietors in the parish about the year 1783. The initials “T.H.’ and date 1818 are above the doorway of the house now known as “The Last Thatch,” formerly Seymour Farm House. There is a tombstone inscription in the Churchyard at Chicklade “Thomas Hull, 1832, Son of Thomas and Elizabeth Hull, aged 71.”
We may presume that the Hulls of different generations belonged to one family or were related.
