Introduction
Edwin Sloper Beaven (1857-1941) was one of the leading breeders of barley in the first half of the twentieth century. He was born near Heytesbury in Wiltshire and began working on his father’s farm there at the age of 13. Later Beaven became a maltster in Warminster, Wiltshire, and became interested in the quality of malting barley. In 1894 he purchased 4 acres of land at Boreham just outside Warminster and began to carry out experimental trials of barley. One outcome of his experiments was a new variety, Plumage-Archer, which was one of the principal types of malting barely until new hybrids, such as Proctor, were introduced after the Second World War. Beaven was associated with the brewers Arthur Guinness, Son & Co who took over his maltings and trial grounds after his death in 1941. Much of Beaven’s work was published posthumously in the book Barley (1947).

These records include some relating to work carried out by Beaven’s executors and trustees for the period 1942-1945.

Records deposited in January 1998 as a gift by John R. Young & Susan E. Oldham.

Local Girl Returns To Warminster

In the early May 1997 issue of The Warminster Digest, his free news sheet for the town, Paul Macdonald wrote:

Anne-Marie Berridge has come back to Warminster a grown up woman and is now teaching at St. John’s School.

Known to many for her community work as a teenager for organisations like the Red Cross she is the daughter of Tony and Sue Berridge of local coach and taxi fame. Anne-Marie left school aiming to be a teacher.

Her training took place in the neighbouring county of Hampshire. Anne-Marie is, the Warminster Digest believes, one of the last teachers to qualify with a Batchelor of Education degree following the changes that have been implemented in recent years.

Anne-Marie filled the gap left when Miss Payne put on her walking shoes and back pack to take a year’s sabbatical by touring foreign parts.

Vivian Belcher, 1918 ~ 1991

Vivian Belcher was born in the Berkshire village of Challow Station in 1918. He was one of nine children. After education at the village school at Goosey, he started work on a local farm, when aged 14.

In 1936 he “took the King’s shilling” and joined the Tank Corps. He did his training at Bovington Camp, Dorset, becoming a dispatch rider. His duties as a dispatch rider led to his meeting Alice Butcher, who was to become his wife.

Viv was taken prisoner in Greece in 1941 and spent the rest of the Second World War working on farms in Austria. He maintained what contact he could with folks back home, and was re-united with Alice in May 1945. They married at Warminster in July 1945.

After the war Viv worked at Bishopstrow Mill for two years. He then became a fitter at the REME, Warminster, where he was employed for 36 years, working mainly on tanks.

In 1959 he secured a plot of land at Boreham Road, east of what is now Highbury Park, and with the help of Alice, he saved enough money to start building his own bungalow on the plot in 1967. The bungalow was completed three years later and the couple moved in, during October 1970.

Viv served as a sidesman at the Parish Church of St. Denys, The Minster, Warminster, for 30 years, and he also helped care for the churchyard. He also offered his assistance at Kingdown School, Warminster, with the Learning Support Scheme.

Vivian Belcher died on 5th November 1991, just a few days after attending the funeral of his wife Alice. Viv’s funeral service was held at St. Denys Church on Friday 22nd November 1991. Canon Roger Sharpe, assisted by the Rev. Peter Hawksworth, conducted the service. Among the mourners were Mr. and Mrs. J. Belcher (son and daughter-in-law), Mr. and Mrs. B. Avery (son-in-law and daughter), and Miss E. Avery, Miss S. Belcher, and Master S. Belcher (grandchildren). Cremation followed at Bath. A private burial of Viv’s ashes was carried out later at the Minster Churchyard, Warminster.

Eddie Ball Loved Jimmy White’s Fat Cakes

From the book Yesterday’s Warminster, by Danny Howell, published in 1987:

Eddie Ball (1907-1985) worked part-time while he was still attending school as an errand boy for Mary Hatton’s mother, Amy Butler. He said “Once I went up to a house on the Boreham Road to deliver a hat and on the way back a gentleman on a horse passed me, going in the direction towards Salisbury. As he passed he dropped a box which landed in the road. I shouted to him “Sir, sir, you’ve dropped something’ but he didn’t take any notice. I chased after him, still shouting, but he didn’t realise I was trying to tell him about the box. He told me to “Bugger off’ and carried on his way. I took the box home and when I opened it, I found it was full of packets of cigarettes.

There were a lot of wealthy people living on the Boreham Road and I had to go up that way, quite often, delivering hats for Mrs Butler. Always, on the way back, I would call in at Jimmy White’s bakery, near the top of East Street, next to the Rose and Crown. Jimmy sold little fat cakes, or lardy cakes as they are known now. They were seven for sixpence and I used to buy a bagful. They were beautiful and when you ate them, the grease oozed out of them and ran down the sides of your chin.’

The Long Way Round For Charity

From the Wiltshire Times and News, Friday 23 March 1984:

Travelling long distances the hard way for charity is becoming a tradition in the Bonner family.

Last April, Marie Bonner rode her horse 98 miles from Tredegar, Gwent, where she then lived, to the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Brian Bonner, of Jersey Hill, Crockerton, and raised £140 for Dr. Barnado’s.

In August her brother Will plans to ride his moped 1,400 miles from Warminster to John O’Groats and back to raise money for the £20,000 multiple sclerosis decompression treatment chamber it is hoped will be installed at the Beckford Community Centre, Warminster, at the end of June.

Marie (27) and Will (24) both live in West Street, Warminster. Will is secretary of Warminster’s Lunatic Fringe, an informal group specialising in way-out stunts for charities.

Lunatic Fringe are now making a concentrated drive to help the Mid-West Friends of Action Research into Multiple Sclerosis pay for the decompression chamber. Will’s ride will be part of that effort. He hopes to average 22 m.p.h. on his three-year-old moped and complete the journey in 11 days. To keep expenses to a minimum, he will stop overnight with friends and multiple sclerosis groups, and will not have a back-up van.

Will has already done several hundred miles on his moped, but this will be his longest. He has asked Jimmy Saville to “fix it” for him to visit an oil rig when he gets to Scotland.

He plans to collect funds along the way, and is seeking private and commercial sponsors in the West before he starts. Anybody wishing to help is asked to contact him at 96 West Street, or the Lunatic Fringe chairman Mr. Danny Howell.

Last year Lunatic Fringe, dressed as gnomes, did a sponsored walk for Warminster Gateway Club for young mentally handicapped adults; held a car treasure hunt for the Marie Curie Cancer Foundation; and staged a Christmas party for Warminster and District Physically Handicapped and Able-Bodied Club.

Mr. Howell said: “Our policy now is to support local charity organisations and projects. It seemed a natural progression to do something for one of the many groups which use the Beckford Centre. The multiple sclerosis treatment chamber is one of the most expensive projects there, so we decided to help that first.”

Lunatic Fringe are already running a lottery for the chamber, and the draw for cash prizes will be held at an Easter disco at Princecroft Primary School, Warminster. Other Fringe events will include discos, concerts, competitions and sponsored sports.

Mid-West Friends Chairman Mr. Tony Williams, who lives in Wingfield Road, Trowbridge, and suffers from multiple sclerosis himself, said: “We have already raised nearly £12,000, which means we can order the chamber later this month. Fully trained medical staff will operate the chamber. We need another £8,000 to pay for the chamber, but our costs will not end there.”

“We still have to pay the running costs of the chamber, including staff salaries. We have a long way to go.”

Will To Take The High Road

Warminster Lunatic Fringe

A press report by Danny Howell, published in March 1984:

The fund-raising campaign to finance the installation and running costs of a decompression chamber at the Beckford Centre to provide experimental treatment for multiple sclerosis victims is to receive backing from a marathon moped ride planned for the late summer.

Will Bonner, a young West Street man, intends riding his three-year-old Honda to John O’Groats and back at a steady 22 miles an hour, so expecting to complete the 1,400 mile journey in 11 August days.

Mr. Bonner, whose sister Marie raised £140 for Dr. Barnardo’s with a sponsored horse ride, last April, is a member of the Warminster fund-raising group called The Lunatic Fringe, who have chosen the Beckford project, organised by the Mid-West Friends of Action Research into Multiple Sclerosis (A.R.M.S.), as their major good cause for the year.

A.R.M.S. have so far raised £12,000 towards the £20,000 needed to buy the decompression equipment, and, already on order, the chamber is expected to be installed at the end of June.

All the same, a great deal of money is still needed to meet running costs and the salaries of qualified staff.

Lunatic Fringe chairman Mr. Danny Howell said this week: “It seemed a natural progression that sooner or later we would do something for one of the many groups now using the Beckford Centre.”

“We have already begun fund-raising for the project by running a lottery, and the draw will be made at an Easter disco at Princecroft School. Other events include discos, concerts, competitions and sponsored sports.

Past beneficiaries of Lunatic Fringe enterprise include the Marie Curie Cancer Foundation, the Gateway Club, and Warminster Physically Handicapped and Able-Bodied Club.
