Mrs Gumbs – A Stranger Who Came To Reside At Warminster Common – Has Died

Sunday 10th August 1834

“Death has again invaded our little society, and made us hang our weeping harps on the willows. Mrs. Gumbs, a stranger lately come to reside at the Common, was led to hear the word at our chapel; and she soon found the God of her salvation there. A few weeks ago, she was sent for to go to Wales, to take possession of some property recently left her by the will of a deceased relation. On the day that she was expected home, here to settle in peace and comfort with her young family, news was brought that she was buried! Aged forty-three years.”

William Daniell, The History Of Warminster Common, published 1850.

John Aubrey, in his Natural History Of Wiltshire, written between 1656 and 1691, noted:

“The Gawens of Norrington, in the parish of Alvideston [Alvesdiston], continued in this place four hundred fifty and odd yeares. They had also an estate in Broad Chalke, which was, perhaps, of as great antiquity. On the south downe of the farme of Broad Chalke is a little barrow called Gawen’s-barrow, which must bee before ecclesiastical lawes were established.”
