JOSEPH-STORRS FRY [ The Second] Born 6th August 1826. Died 7th July 1913
Cocoa manufacturer and Quaker Philanthropist, he was born in Union Street, Bristol, the eldest son of Joseph Fry, of Bristol, by his wife Mary Ann, daughter of Edward Swaine, of Henley-on Thames. A younger brother was the distinguished jurist Sir Edward Fry.
He was educated chiefly at home, but was at Bristol College for a short time. After learning business methods in an accountant's office, he entered the business of cocoa and chocolate manufacture, established in Bristol in the middle of the eighteenth century by his Great-Grandfather, Joseph Fry. In 1855 he became a partner in the firm.
Fry's interest in local affairs of a religious and social character was deep and constant. For many years he conducted a brief service with the employees of the cocoa works, and in his will he left £42,000 to be distributed among them.
In 1871 he joined the young Men's Christian Association in Bristol, and he became president in 1877. In 1877 he was elected a member of the committee of the Bristol General Hospital, becoming later chairman, treasurer, and president. Up to the last few years of his life he visited the hospital every Christmas Eve and spoke to each patient at his bedside. In 1909 he became an honary freeman of the city, and in 1912 the University of Bristol conferred on him the honary degree of LL.D.
Fry was born a member of the Society of Friends and throughout his life gave ungrudging attention to its interests. He rose to the highest position in this religious body, being 'clerk' [or President] of the 'London Yearly Meeting' for fifteen years [1870-1875, 1881-1889], the longest period for which that office has been held by any individual since 1704.
He was a preacher among the Friends and a pioneer in many organizations connected with their Sunday schools and home and foreign missions.
Fry's private life was singularly uneventful. The room which he occupied on the business premises to the end of his life was, he believed, the room in which he had been born. He lived with his mother for sixty years and never married.
The things which usually interest men in his position-travel, politics, art, science, intercourse with nature- had no attraction for him. The distribution of his charities
Generation 11 (con't)
occupied no inconsiderable portion of his time and thought. He died 7 July 1913. The funeral was a remarkable demonstation of the esteem in which he was held by his fellow-citizens.

2001...February...Snippets from the Book 'Margery Fry' by Enid Huws Jones.....
...'In the autumn of 1913 she became, [Sara Margery Fry] , through the will of her bachelor uncle, Joseph Storrs Fry, financially independant for the rest of her life. He is said to have died in the room where he was born, in the old house in front of the original cocoa factory'.
...'Yet Uncle Joseph had a memorable funeral: the factory choir sang at the graveside, and at the same time as Friends were holding ' a meeting for worship on the occasion of the death of our Friend', a memorial service took place in Bristol Cathedral'.
...'Though Uncle Joseph's interests had seemed strangely limited to his niece, his will was a masterpiece. Night after night he must have sat in his lonely room, parcelling out his huge wealth as if for a great christmas treat. First came gifts to his workers and the great benefactions to Quakers and other causes. Then came the legacies, as one after another this apparently lonely old man remembered those who had shown kindness or need. he had made one miscalculation: He was nearly twice as rich as he had believed himself to be.
When the residue of the estate was divided Margery Fry found herself with a larger income than a university professor: just ten times as large, by Margery's friend Dr. Fisher reckoning in 1917, as the pay of 42,200 certificated elementary school teachers, men and women.
2001...25 May...from the book 'Sir Edward Fry'...it says, page 37...The eldest [Joseph Storrs] , combined the charecters of a successful man of business and a leading member of the Society of Friends....As a young man he was introduced to the Family Business of cocoa and chocolate...when he joined it as a partner in 1855 it was a small affair...At the time of his death it gave employment to over 5000 people'.
2001...20 June ...at Bristol Records Office we found the book "Memoir of Francis Fry" by Theodore Fry, where it mentions Joseph Storrs Fry, the second. ....."Within the Society he rose to occupy the highest position: for fifteen years [1870-89] he was Clerk of the London Yearly Meeting- the longest period during which that office has been held by any individual for almost two centuries".

THE CHILDREN OF JOSEPH AND MARY ANN FRY
Joseph Storrs Fry - born 1826, died 1913.
Generation 11 (con't)
Of middle height - with rather curling dark hair which early became quite white, grey eyes - clean shaven- with a delicate rather retrousee nose - a refined mouth - a frequent smile - rather bland and benevolent than humorous.
Slight as a young man, inclined to be stout as he grew old. Always dressed in the black broad cloth, orthodox Friend's collarless swallow tail coat - a high shirt collar and black tie. He wore Wellington boots under his trousers. His large, rather wide brimmed top hat was always a little on the back of his head.
He had beautiful, very wide hands, with the blue veins showing through the skin; a courteous, rather detached manner - a clear sonorous voice - a pleasant chuckling laugh.
He was a very small eater, not a teetotaller till, I think, middle life; he was sadly unpunctual for the 2.30 or 3 o'clock dinner at Charlotte Street.
He was not a man of very deep or passionate feeling. He was never married and it was believed that he was never in love. His strongest affection was probably given to his mother with whom he lived in intimate relation till her death at 89. I remember how at a family gathering on the evening after her funeral, he, a man of 60, suddenly broke down in tears.
He was extraordinarly conservative in his habits. He left school when he was 16 or 17 and at once entered the family business; from that day till he was well past 80, year in year out he went down to the office in Union Street, leaving the house about 8.30 in order to conduct the religious service with the work people with which his business day always began. The business was not very flourishing when he entered it - it employed about 56 people. He left it one of the largest concerns in the city with over 3,000 workers. When he was a school boy his masters used to say that there was nothing to choose between his intellectual gifts and those of his brother Edward. He devoted these gifts to the business and to the service of the Society of Friends.
He was a leading minister, frequently preaching in Meeting and, for something like 20 years, Clerk to Yearly Meeting, the most important post in that democratic Society, and all his life he diligently attended to the affairs of the Society in Bristol. He was also Chairman to the General Hospital, to which he gave very generously both time and money; the joint donor with one of the Wills family of the great convalescent home on Dendham Down. He gave largely to the University and the Blind Asylum and took a leading part in a great deal of the religious and philanthropical life in the city. In later life he seldom took holidays. He would sometimes join a family party at the sea-side for a few days, and once or twice went abroad with one or other of his brothers, and went once to America.
He read the "Times" daily after dinner - before he went back to Union Street. His other reading was I think mainly religious and biblical - but he must have read much as a young man - he knew his Johnson and Boswell, his Coleridge and Wordsworth well. I remember a speech when he gave the prizes to the Grammar School Boys when he was an old man, full of quotations from Virgil and of literary suggestion.
The business under him was run on the old-fashioned paternal or rather perhaps personal lines, for he had a great objection to interfering with what he considered the private affairs of the workers. He saw every applicant for work himself and I have little doubt gave every boy and girl good advice about their conduct and so on. All the work people [in the days before sick insurance] had a regular allowance in case of illness, and he visited them in their homes or at the Hospital himself. A large and comfortable dining room was provided with arrangements for warming up food, and the Bible reading and hymn singing brought him face to face with the whole factory daily.
There were no welfare workers in those days and he must have been kept very fully informed by the foremen and forewomen. There are plenty of people in Bristol
Generation 11 (con't)
still eager to tell of the personal ties which used to hold the concern together- and inclined to lament the very different and much more advanced methods of the present.
His personal habits were exceedingly simple. He did not keep a carriage till after his mother's death - when her carriage and pair was exchanged for a single horse brougham. He had to leave Charlotte street about 1890, the landlord having sold the house for a hostel and he moved into lodgings in Upper Belgrave Road - warehousing his furniture. The brougham remained in the stables close to charlotte Street, and after 27 years, Henry, our Grandmother's old coachman, daily drove the couple of miles to Belgrave Road to take him to business.
He, the richest man at the time in Bristol, lived contentedly in these lodgings for a number of years, and finally bought the house, installing the lodging house keeper and his wife as his servants, and replacing part of their furniture by his own.
This simplicity was not in any way connected with miserliness. He had so few wants that it sometimes seemed as if he could not easily imagine how many more most of us have - bur I remember a delightful £5 tip when I was a girl, and an offer of a brougham and horse to my mother when he thought she had not a sufficiently comfortable carriage. For many years he gave her and some other relative's £100 a year, thinking they had not as much to give away as they wished, and I have an impression that he once gave her a much larger sum for distribution in charity as she chose.
He gave largely and unostentatiously to public objects and his Will was extraordinarily interesting. He left small legacies to an enormous number of people in humble circumstances in Bristol whom he must have known in connection with his religious and social work, and legacies - all carefully considered - to every one employed in whatever capacity in the works. I should not think any Will ever gave such extended pleasure and satisfaction.. It was like him also to make his 37 nephews and nieces, and not their parents , his residuary legatees.
His Christmas cheques were an amusing illustration of his kindly conservation. Our grandmother in the later years of her life, substituted for her Christmas present to her 37 grandchildren, tips ranging from a sovereign to a shilling according to our ages. At her death e.g. our family tip amounted to £6.5.0d., and the other families had, of course, other sums. For 27 years every Christmas Eve, each family received a cheque for exactly those sums " in memory of my dear Mother" and accompanied by a noble box of chocolates.
During the last few years of his life , Uncle Joseph gradually lost his sight. He bore this trial with great serenity. He died of old age at 86.

FRANCIS FRY,
Born 28th October 1803 - Died 12th November 1886
SECOND SON OF JOSEPH STORRS FRY [1769-1835]
Bibliographer, born at Westbury-on-Trym, Nr. Bristol on the 28th October 1893. He was educated at a large school at Fishponds, in the neighborhood of Frenchay, kept by a Quaker named Joel Lean, and commenced his business training at Croydon.
Fron his twentieth year to middle age he devoted himself to the rapidly increasing business of the firm of J.S. Fry & Sons, cocoa and chocolate manufacturers, at Bristol, in which he was afterwards a Partner.
In 1833 he married Matilda, only daughter of Daniel and Anne Penrose, of 'Brittas, Co. Wicklow.' He took part in the introduction of Railways in the West of England, and was a member of the Board of the Bristol and Gloucester Railway, which held its first sitting 11th July 1839, retaining his postion during the various amalgamations of the line until it's union with The Midland Railway.
He was also a Director of the Bristol and Exeter, The South Devon, and other Railways. He took a principal share in managing The Bristol Waterworks [1846] until his death. In 1839 he removed to Cotham, between Bristol and Redland, built a house close to the Old Tower, re-presented in many of the books which he afterwards purchased.
With William Forster, Father of W.E. Forster and Robert Alsop he visited Northern Italy in 1850, as a deputation from The Society of Friends to various Crowned Heads, praying for their countenance in the abolition of Slavery
[B. Seebohm, Memoirs of William Forster, 1865, ii 284].
In 1852 he made proposals to the railway companies for a general parcel despatch throughout the United Kingdom. He catalogued The Library of the Friends Monthly Meeting at Bristol in 1860, and visited Germany. A discovery in Munich about the books printed at Worms by Peter Schoeffer the younger enabled him to decide that Tyndale's first English New Testament came from Schoeffer's press. Two years later Fry produced his careful facsimile reprint, by means of tracing and Lithography, of Tyndale's New Testamont [1525 or 1526], the first complete edition printed in English, from the only perfect copy known, now in The Baptist College, Bristol.
In the same year he edited a facsmile reprint of the pamplet known as the
'Souldier's Pocket Bible,' distributed to Cromwell's army, and discovered by G. Livermore of Boston, who had himself reprinted it the previous year.
Several editions were circulated among the soldiers during the American Civil War. It was somewhat altered and enlarged as the
'Christian Soldiers Penny Bible', [1693], also fascimiled and edited by Fry. In 1863 he issued a couple of small rare pieces illustrative of Tyndale's version and in 1865 published his remarkable treatise on the Great Bible of 1539, the six editions of Cranmer's Bible of 1540 and 1541, and the five editions of the authorised version.
Fry visited many private and public libraries to collate different copies of these Bibles, and was able to settle the peculiarities of the various issues. This work was followed by his account of Coverdale's translation of the Scriptures, and his description of forty editions of Tyndale's version, most of which vary among themselves. Laborious accuracy, great bibliographical acumen, and a profound acquaintance with the history of the English Bible mark these three books.
He was a member of the committee of the Bristol Philosophical Society, as well as of the Bristol Museum and Library. Books and China formed his chief study. His Collection of specimens
Generation 11 (con't)
produced at the Bristol factory betweem 1768 and 1781 was particularly complete. Many examples are described by Hugh Owen [Two Centuries of Ceramic Art in Bristol, 1873, pp78-9, 97, 243, &c.] His collection of bibles and testament numbered nearly thirteen hundred, chiefly english, especially editions of the version of Tyndale, Coverdale, and Cranmer, but with a number of first editions in other languages.
He took an active interest in many associations for social improvement. He died 12th November 1886, soon after the completion of his eighty-third year, and was buried in The Friends Graveyard at Kings Weston, near Bristol.
His writings are 1. '[A catalogue of books in the library belonging to The Friends Monthly Meeting in Bristol', 3rd edit. Bristol, 1860.
' The First New Testament printed in the English Language [1525 or 1526], translated from the Greek by William Tyndale, reproduced in facsimile, with introduction,] Bristol 1862.

****2001...20 June...We found a copy of the book "Quakers in Commerce" in Bristol Records Office when on a visit, and in it was " Memoir of Francis Fry of Bristol by his son Theodore Fry. M.P. as follows: Page 194, "... In the next generation , too, that of the great-grandsons of Dr. Joseph Fry, members of the family made their mark in various fields. Francis Fry, the collector of books and director of railway companies [and brother to Edward and Lewes], had three notable sons-Francis James, of J.S. Fry & Sons; Theodore; and John Doyle Fry, the printer and stationer.
John Doyle Fry's brother -in -law, Robert Barclay, [1] a lineal descendant of Robert Barclay the Apologist and himself an authority on the early history of the Society, had in 1855 bought a stationer's business dating back to 1799. When the two relatives joined in 1867, under the title of the new partnership two great Quaker names were coupled together- Barclay & Fry. Robert Barclay was responsible for three important inventions: he designed the two-revolution printing press; he solved the problem of how to make the paper used for cheques chemically protected [the cheque books of a very great number of banks in this country are printed by Barclay & Fry]; and thirdly he devised the process of printing on tin, from which has developed an extensive business in decorated tin boxes.

This came into the posession of Mr. William Fry, the Banker [his son], who sent it to China to have a dinner set painted from whence it never returned".

Ref. HO 107/708 3 Page 5. The houses in the street were not numbered on the census. Bonus is that 'Mary Fry age 70' is living there. This must be Thomas 1 Dyers Mother. No places of birth are shown. Also there is 'Henrietta Rowlands age 20 a dress maker..Is this William B Rowlands Sister
??
1998...16 April...At FRC...Found the Marriage of Thomas and Sarah on the IGI and Marriage Books again Ref 1 October 1845 Stepney, St. Dunstan Vol 2 509. Have Ordered Certificate. Hopefully this will show both Parents and places of Birth. 1861 census for 9, Dorchester Place, Ref RG9/242 Folio 42, shows the 'House as Empty' . Where did they live??...Also on the IGI Mary Dyer's [many of] , Wiltshire page 4656...no sign or marriage to Robert. Also checked Somerset. Also got copy of Wilts map for 1849. It also Mentions that 'Rwode' was called 'Rode'in The Doomsday Book'.
LOOK at the details from Somerset Records Office....The Father is ROBERT, the Mother is ? Mary' and one of their children is 'Joseph'. Is this 'Joseph' the Father of MARY ANN DYER FRY ??? If Thomas's Father turns out to be 'Robert' on his marriage certificate then the Family at 'Lullington' MUST be the one we are looking for.

2003...28 March...On a visit to the Frenchay Museum, Bristol today, Alan Freke told us that those who were buried at 'Quaker Friars in the centre of Bristol' were Reintered.
This was because that burial ground was turned into a car park and some building work done. He found out that the remains were Reintered in 1965 to the Avonview Cemetery, Blackworth Road, St. George, Bristol. He took us there and we took photos and a video of the New Headstone. Many of our Ancestors were buried at Quaker Friars over the years and this note is being applied to their files so that we know where any remains now rest.

"As Henry grew older, he followed Fry family tradition and bacame a member of the Army Reserve.
He was a Captain in the lst Essex Rifle Volunteers of the Hornchurch Company when he married Edith Horatia Partridge in l875. Edith Partridge and Henry Partridge Fry were distantly related as they shared the same ancestor Henry Patridge (l7ll - l793.).....After their marriage Edith and Henry lived in Shenfield located on the outskirts of Brentwood in Essex and they had three children during the next six years.
In l88l Henry became ill. It was Christmas time and the family were attending a social function at the nearby Shenfield School. Henry began to feel unwell during the evening and had to be taken home. He was complaining of acute pain which was at first thought to be the result of having taken a chill and nothing serious. The next day he was still unwell and was seen by the local family doctor Dr.Quennell and also by Dr. Ramskill of the London Hospital; Unfortunately nothing could be done and he succumbed to inflamation of the pericarditis and died the day before his 4lst birthday on December, 7 l88l.
Edith was pregnant at the time of Henry's death. Their son Henry Phillip was born on May 28, l882 and Edith named him Henry Philip Fry and he became known as' Phil'.

Rt. Hon. Sir Edward Fry, G.C.B., P.C., B.A., D.C.L., LL.d., F.R.S., F.C.A., F.L.S., Kt. Lord Justice of the Court of Appeal
Born 4th November 1827. Died 18th October 1918.
Judge, was born in Union Street, Bristol. He was the second son of Joseph Fry, a member of a Wessex Family long established at Corston, near Malmesbury, who followed George Fox and was imprisoned as a recalcitrant Quaker in 1684. Edward Fry's paternal Great Grandfather, Joseph Fry, abandoned medicine for business; the latter's son Edmund Fry, who also abandoned medicine for trade, was the most learned Type Founder of his day. Joseph Fry, the Father of Edward, was an omnivorous reader with strong free-trade, liberal, religious, and philanthopid interests; his wife, Mary Ann, daughter of Edward Swaine, of Henley-on-Thames, traveller for a firm of druggists, was an able, self-confident, bouyant woman, with very strong Quaker convictions, very decisive judgements in practicle matters, and a love of poetry. Edwards father and his Quaker friends instilled in the boy an intense love of observation, and a lifelong interest in scenery, animals and more especially plants-
'which I hope , prevented my growing into a mere lawyer'.
His earliest recollections were of the Bristol riots of 1831. His home education included Latin, French, and German.
The study of Greek was postponed, against his wish, till he had to prepare for Bristol college in 1841.
There he and his elder Brother, Joseph Storrs Fry, were ridiculed at first for their Quaker dress and language. Edward at once made his mark and gained a medal for English verse. The college, however, was closed and Dr. James Booth, the Headmaster, opened a private school. Edward records that at the age of fourteen he greedily devoured Berkeley's New Theory of Vision, with a permanent effect on his outlook on matter. With Walter Bagehot, who was at the same school, he formed a fruitful and stimulating friendship.
At the end of 1842 schooldays were over, and from1843 till he went to London in October 1848 Fry was in business and acquired a practicle knowledge of accountancy and shipbroking. He did not take to a mercantile life, but he found time to read widely in a classics, literature, and history, and actually wrote at the age of nineteen A Traetise of the Elective Monarchies of Europe [1846]. In the spring of the same year he sent to the Zoological Society of London a paper on The Osteology of the Hylobates agiles, based on a remarkable specimen which had lived in the Clifton Zoological Gardens. This paper and another on The relations of the Edentata to the Reptiles, especially of the Armadilloes to the Tortoises, were published by the society. He worked very hard at zoology, and in 1849 in the London matriculation examination secured the prize for that subject, beating [Sir] William Henry Flower who was to become the head of the Natural History Museum at South Kensington. But he was also interested in the study of the osteology of the skull, having seen fossil bones at Weston-super-Mare as early as 1838, and he worked with William Budd, who encouraged his surgical enthusiasms. Fry also found time for thought on the subjects of free trade and education, and as the result of a continental tour in 1848 contributed an article on Germany in 1848 to the London University Magazine.
After this visit Fry decided to go to the bar, and with this in view he entered University College, London, where Thomas Hodgkin and Walter Bagehot were fellow students. After making a brilliant mark at the college, he took his B.A. degree in1851. He entered the chambers first of Bevan Braithwait, the conveyancer, then of Edward Bullen, the eminent special pleaser in the Temple, and draughtsman, and was called to the bar at Lincolns Inn in 1854.
The beginning was not auspicious. He was called at a moment when family financial affairs had been given temporary anxiety, and for a long period briefs failed to flow in. But he was working all the while, and soon after the publication [1858] of his well known book , A Treatise on the specific Performance of Contacts, the tide began to turn. Fry, in the time of probation, also produced a volume, Essays on the Accordance of Christianity with the Nature of Man [1857], which secured
Generation 12 (con't)
the approval of Baron von Bunsen, who expresses surprise that there was any one in England who would write such a book.
The early years in London from 1848 to 1859 were haunted by fear of Failure. Fry's tastes were austere and his judgement too well balanced for him to entertain what seemed like false hopes. But sadness and fear of failure ended when he married in the Friends Meeting House at Lewes in 1859, Mariabella, daughter of the Quaker barrister, John Hodgkin. It was about this time that Fry discarded the external peculiarities of Quakerism as not being really connected with religious life. In 1859 he issued a pamphlet on this subject.
From 1859 until he was raised to the bench in 1877 Fry acquired a steadily growing practice, not only in Chancery and company work but at the Parliamentry bar. He took silk in 1869 and joined the court of Vice-Chancellor James, competing with [Sir] Richard Paul Amphlett and [Sir] Edward Ebenezer Kay, who like himself, were later to sit in the Court of Appeal. He quickly made his mark by a convincing argument in a company case in which he opposed by Lord Westbury, Sir Roundell Palmer, and others.
He succeeded and was warmly congratulated by his opponents. When James became a Lord Justice, Fry practised for a time before Vice-Chancellor Bacon, but eventually migrated to the Rolls court, presided over by Lord Romilly and, after 1873, by Sir George Jessel. But pressure of work in the House of Lords made it necessary for him soon to 'go special'. This did not long have the desired effect, and his work was greatly on the increase when, in April 1877, he was offered by Lord Cairns, the additional judgeship in the chancery division authorized that year by statute.
He accepted the offer with considerable misgiving, and characteristictically set to work to put in writing his conceptions of his new duties. His precepts are worthy of study by all judges.
Fry was the first Judge appointed after the Judicature Act had merged the High Court of Chancery in the High Court, the first Chancery Judge to bear the Title of Mr. Justice and to go circuit. His Knighthood followed in the usual form. He at first dreaded the circuit work, but came to like it, and impressed the bar with his judicial versatility.
Probably Fry's principal legal achievement took place before he passed in 1883, on the death of Sir George Jessel, to the Court of Appeal. The Judicature Act's of 1873 and 1875, in addition to the reorganisation of the courts, had provided a body of rules to regulate practice in the separate divisions of the new High Court. After some years these rules needed revision as a result of experience, and it was necessary to provide a comparatively inexpensive machinery enabling trustees, executors, and beneficiaries to secure necessary judical aid without the ruinous costs of an administration suit, often enough undertaken for the sake of the costs.
Fry was on the Rule Committee of the Judges, and with respect to this particular evil he regarded his work as one of the best actions of his life. In fact ' he invented the proceedure by originating summons which affected a beneficial revolution'.
Lord Cozens-Hardy also says that the gradual development of the new system of practice which replaced the old practice of the High Court of Chancery might almost be called the invention of Fry. From 1883 to whitsontide 1892 Fry sat in The Court of Appeal with, among others, Lord Esher, Lords Justices Baggallay, Cotton, Lindley, and Bowen. Lord Esher tried Fry's patience and temper sometimes, but on the whole these two very different men got on well enough, while relations between Fry and Lindley and Bowen were the happiest possible. Sir Alfred Hopkinson [ Memoir of Sir Edward Fry, p 81] says that Lindley, Bowen, and Fry together 'contributed invaluable work in the development of English case law when there was a special need for men who possessed such qualities as his [Fry's] for dealing with the new conditions then arising'.
The same writer says of Fry, 'no better example of this power to master fully the most complicated facts, to state the relevant matter clearly, to draw from a long series of precedents the true principles to guide a decision and to apply them fearlessly, can be given than the judgment delivered by him and adopted as the judgement of the whole Court of Appeal in the Banstead Common Case' [Robertson v. Hartropp, 1889].
Generation 12 (con't)
Sir Edward Fry decided to retire in 1892 on the completion of his fifteenth year on the bench. Actually there was a quarter of a century of active life before him and he was at this height of his judicial powers. He was somewhat weary of the noise and turmoil of the courts and longed to live permanently in the country with more leisure for reading and travel.
The Fry's left London for their country home at Failand, near Clifton. There the ex-judge sat in the local court of petty sessions and the aldermanship of the Somerset County Council. He was eighty-six when he retired from this work. From time to time he also sat on the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.
Various estimates exist of the judicial capacity of Sir Edward Fry. Probably the final estimate will be that he was a great Judge, though his abilities were never tested by a seat in the House of Lords. Infinitely painstaking and verysatile to an unusual degree, with a very large range of knowledge, he combined a passion for seeking out first principals and for doing justice, with a fixed determination not to move out of the ambit of the case as limited by the facts before him. His strictly logical mind in these circumstances tended not only to limit the application of a judgment, but to rely on a somewhat technical view of the facts and of the law.
He was working in a difficult period of transition from the old practice to the new, and his type of mind was of particular value in the period 1877 to 1892. In The House of Lords he might have given freer scope to his passion for first principals than was possible in the new Supreme Court. When he was free of highly technical civil proceedure he was, whether in cases at quarter sessions or in his writing on legal themes, capable of the longest outlook.
Probably, when the history of English Law for the period falls into perspective, it will be found that Fry did more than any other lawyer, with perhaps the exception of Lord Cairns, to secure perfect continuity in the adaptation, under purified conditions of civil proceedure, of the rules of law to modern social conditions.
Fry's later life was one of singular and beneficent activity. He took more than four years of leisure and travel, and then, when on the verge of seventy years, he plunged once more into the turmoil of work. He accepted in 1897 the offer to preside over the royal commission on the Irish Land Acts, an office which he filled with such capacity, knowledge, and tact that his services were at once widely called upon. In 1898 he acted as consiliator, under the Consiliation Act of 1896, in the colliery strike of South Wales and Monmouth, and although the conciliation failed, his report led to the termination of the strike; the men had full confidence in him.
In 1901 he acted as arbitrator in the Grimsby Fishery dispute; In 1902 he sat as president on the court of arbitration connected with the water companies of London. His remuneration for this heavy work was £5.000, of which he returned over £3.000 as he declined to receive more than would have made up his salary if he had been sitting as a Lord Justice.
In 1906 and 1907 he acted as arbitrator between the London and North Western Railway Company and its men, and issued an award [February 1909] that worked smoothly and well for a time. He declined any fee for 'the most tiresome piece of business which I have ever transacted'.
In the meantime Fry was brought into touch with international affairs in 1902-1903 by acting as arbitrator at the Hague between the United States and Mexico in the pious funds of California dispute, the first case to be brought before the Hague tribunal created by the first Hague conference in 1899. In November 1900 he had been given a place on the list of judges for this court. The five arbitrators, after some difficulties, settled and issued their award.
Fry's next task was to act as the British legal assessor on the commission appointed to deal with the North Sea [Dogger bank] incident in October 1904, when the Russian fleet attacked in a moment of panic, the British herring fleet- an incident that threatened war. Fry's work on the commission- the findings of which upheld the British case-was highly commended. He played an active part at the second Hague Conference of 1907, when he was the doyen of the conference as ambassador extra-ordinary and first plenipotentiary delegate of Great Britain.
Generation 12 (con't)
Fry, although an Octogenarian, made his personality felt; he took a leading part in the debates, and was entrusted by the British Government with the duty of raising the question of the limitation of armaments and of making the offer that Great Britain would exchange information with any other nation on the subject of naval construction.
In the next year he again acted at The Hague as one of the arbitrators in the quarrel between France and Germany over the Casablanca incident. In May 1909 the award was made, and the two nations acted on it and exchanged apologies according to the sentence of the court.
The remaining nine years of Fry's life were occupied with the various pursuits, literary, scientific, and educational, in which he delighted. His interest in the University of London lasted for nearly half a century. He joined the council of University College during the busiest of his years at the bar, and strove hard and successfully to secure a teaching university for London. He did much on the senate of the university to bring into the university all the institutions of high educational character in the metropolis.
The scheme which eventually was adopted was not very different from that for which he had always striven. His efforts were not limited to London. In 1906 he presided over the commission to enquire into the condition of Trinity College, Dublin, and of the Royal University of Ireland with a view to the solution of the problem of university education in Ireland. He dissented from the main report, and the view taken by himself, Sir Arthur W. Rucker, and [Sir] J.G. Butcher that the ancient foundation of Trinity College should be preserved was accepted by Mr. Birrell when he became Chief Secretary in 1907.
Fry, who on two occasions declined the offer of a Peerage, was created G.C.B. in 1907; he was also elected fellow of the Royal Society [1883] and Honorary Fellow of Balliol College, Oxford [1894].
He died 18th October 1918 at Failand. He had nine children, two sons and seven daughters, of whom one died at the age of four. Lady Fry survived him.

2001...2 January...A reply to our enquiry to The Association of Lincoln's Inn, in December 2000.
From Guy Holborn, Librarian of the Association.
.....I cannot add a great deal to his DNB entry. There is a full-length biography of him in the form of the Memoir by his daughter, Agnes, cited in the DNB entry. I am enclosing a copy of the first
Generation 12 (con't)
chapter, which may be of particular interest to you, " Ancestry and Parents".
......He was Not Lord Chief Justice of England [as advised by the Cadbury' Pedegree of the Family of Fry] but he WAS a Lord Justice of Appeal, ie, a Court of Appeal Judge.
"On the points of detail from their own records [the Library] , I can tell you he was admitted as a student member of Lincoln's Inn at the age of 21, on the 1st November 1849 and was called to the Bar on 9th June 1854. He was elected a Bencher of the Inn on the 25th November 1869 and held the office of Treasurer [the head of the Inn, elected annually] for the year 1892.
Perhaps of more local interest to us, rather than of biographical interest to you, is where he sat as a judge of the Chancery Division of the High Court. His appointment in 1877 was a new one and since at that time the Royal Courts of Justice in the Strand had not yet been built, there was a problem in finding accomodation for his court. Lincoln's Inn agreed to provide it by utilising a lecture room under the newly built extension to the Library.
The court moved out in the 1880's when the Law Courts building was opened, but ever since the room has been known as the "Court Room". For many years thereafter it was a rather dingy accommodation for the Library stacks, but it has recently been splendidly refurbished as a meeting room, called the "Old Court Room".
His eldest son, Edward Portsmouth Fry was also a member of the Inn - admitted at the age of 22 on 12th January 1883 [of new College, Oxford] and called to the bar on the 25th April1888. But he only appears to have practised as a barrister briefly, since no chambers address is given in the annual Law Lists after the edition of 1892 - possibly because as noted in the Agnes Fry Memoir of their father, he suffered from a "lifelong illness".
We have a portrait of Sir Edward, by his younger son, Roger E. Fry [the well known art writer and artist, member of the Bloomsbury group, also with an entry in DNB, died 1934].
I enclose a photocopy of a black and white photograph of it, and also photocopies of two photographs of him, and of a Spy cartoon from Vanity Fair [ with a transcript of the accompanying text].

Quotes from the Book 'Sir Edward Fry, by his daughter Agnes: Page 19'...Early Years in Bristol...Sir Edward wrote ' I was born in Union Street, Bristol and in a letter to his Aunt Sarah Fry dated 4 November 1827 announcing his birth is added ' the doctor says the boy is larger than one in fifty; he calls him an Eliphant. The house was connected to the Chocolate factory . There was a small back yard, a small steam engine and grinding mills'.
Page 22...he believes in 1833 his Mother and Father moved from their first home in Union Street to 2, Charlotte Street, Park Street, which was to be their final residence.
Page 23...as a child of ten years old he narrated that on July 21st 1838, he watched the steamship 'The Great Western' go forth on her first journey to America.
In a journal of 1839 he mentions reading the Chancellor's speech on the Penny Postage. The following year his Father bought home some of the new stamps and gave him three which had the Queen's portrait on a black ground.
Page 26...Between 1843 and 1848 he lived at home and for more than a year he was with a firm of Accountants [ Robert Fletcher & Co] to learn their art. He drifted about for a few years with no certain prospects. He went to London in October 1848.
Page 56...his loneliness came to a most happy ending in April 1859 when he married Mariabella, to whom he had been engaged for two years.
Page 62...in 1874 he purchased Failand House, in the parish of Wraxall, about four miles from the Clifton Suspension Bridge.
Page 66...On 19 april 1877...Fry recieved a letter from Lord Chancellor Cairns offering him a Judgeship.

We also visit Failand House which today is divided into 3 homes, 0ne of which belongs to Mr & Mrs Mc Gregor who took us round the grounds. These are massive and when Sir Edward had it, it must have amounted to several hundred acres. The Graveyard and House overlook the Severn Estuary, with views for miles. This view even includes the New Severn Bridge.
The Mc. Donalds recommended the following book published by a local author..." Ghosts at Cock Crow, The Story of Failand", by Rita Archer..ISBN 09048265-12-4, Published by redcliffe Press, 49 Park Street, Bristol. We obtained this from Waterstones on 26th July 2001.

SARA MARGERY FRY, 1874-1958
Reformer
8th Child and 6th Daughter of Sir Edward Fry & his wife Mariabella
Sara Margery was born in Highgate and educated at home until she was seventeen; she then spent a year at Miss Lawrence's boarding School [later Roedeen] at Brighton.
In 1892 Sara retired from the Bench and the family moved to Failand in Somerset. Encouraged by her brother, Roger Fry, Sara hoped initially to go to Newnham, but her Quaker parents regarded Cambridge with suspicion as a breeding-ground of agnostics. [So, though she later came to accept an agnostic position, she reached it by another route.] Eventually she succeeded in obtaining permission to sit the entrance examination for Somerville College, Oxford, and went up to read mathematics in 1894, staying until 1897, but taking no examinations.
Somerville friendships, with Eleanor Rathbone and Dorothea Scott among others, remained important through her life. For the next eighteen months she returned to the duties of a daughter at home. The opportunity for an active and independent life came with the unexpected offer of the librarianship at Somerville. There she spent five years from 1899, combining the development and re-housing of the college library with that understanding concern for the young and their problems, which remained one of her outstanding qualities.
Her next post gave her scope to extend this interest in a new setting. Birmingham University had been granted its charter in 1900, and in 1904 she was appointed to the wardenship of a hall of residence for women students in Hagley Road, Edgebaston. Her functions were ' the superintendence of housekeeping and the maintenance of discipline': the latter she interpreted with her customary liberalism, reducing rules to the minimum and allowing students to invite their men friends to dances.
In 1908 the hostel moved into new quarters at University House, for which she had worked hard, and where she used all the resources available to her - pictures, furnishings, music, play-acting, wit and friendship- to create a living community.
On the initiative of Charles Beale, the vice-chancellor, she was made a member of the university council. During this period the range of causes in which she was interested, and of committees on which she served, became increasingly wide- the Staffordshire Education Committee, the County Insurance Committee [set up under the National Insurance Act], the County Sub-committee on Mental Deficiency. Practical experience of the problems of social reform sharpened her tendency towards radicalism. 'Brummagem', she wrote 'is making a first-rate democrat of me.' Shortly before the outbreak of war in 1914 she became financially independent through a legacy from her uncle, Joseph Storrs Fry, and in the summer of 1914 she resigned her post.
Her Quaker background and conscience combined with her experience of social work made it natural that early in the war she should be drawn, with her younger
Generation 12 (con't)
sister Ruth, into work with the Friends' War Victims Relief Committee, first in the Marne and Meuse area, later in the whole of France. From early 1915 until the end of 1917 she remained based on Sermaize, with periodic journeys to other parts of France, dealing with the whole range of problems of those whose lives had been disrupted by the war, from the reconstruction of agriculture to the teaching of embroidery.
Back in England in 1918 Margery Fry was in some uncertainty where her next work should lie, although with a sence of continuing commitment to education in the widest sence. Three events particularly determined the subsequent direction of her life and activities. At the beginning of 1919 she moved to London and set up house at 7, Dalmeny Avenue, overlooking Holloway Prison, with her brother Roger and his children. She thus became more deeply involved in his world, his relationships with artists and writers in particular. In May 1919 she was invited to become a member of the newly established University Grants Committeee, on which she continued to serve until 1948, devoting much of her time and energies to visiting universities and gaining first-hand knowledge of their problems.
At the end of 1918 she had been persuaded by Stephen and Rosa Hobhouse to accept the secretaryship of the Penal Reform League which in 1921 amalgamated with the Howard Association to form the Howard League for Penal Reform, housed at this period in the Fry's front sitting room. From then on the Howard League, which she served as secretary until 1926 and later as chairman and vice-chairman, remained the most important focus of her work. Her understanding of the problems of penal reform was increased by her appointment in 1921 as one of the first women magistrates and in 1922 as the first education advisor to Holloway. In her efforts to improve prison conditions one of the many developments which she initiated was to bring Marlon Richardson in to teach painting to young prisoners. In practice her two main pre-occupations became closely related; visits to universities were combined with visits to prisons; it was sometimes difficult to remember, she once remarked, whether students were in for crimes or prisoners in for examinations.
In 1926, on the retirement of [Dame] Emily Penrose, Sara Margery Fry somewhat reluctantly accepted the principalship of Somerville. In spite of her strong continuing affection for the college, on whose council she had served since 1904, she was genuinely doubtful about her suitability, as 'non-academic' women for the post and the limitations on her independence, which it would involve. But, though finding Oxford in many ways uncongenial and obscurantist, she enjoyed this new opportunity for exercising her remarkable talent for understanding, and unobtrusivively advising, the young and opening their minds to her whole wide range of interests, from penal reform to birdwatching.
Although never deeply involved in university politics, she made occasional notable incursions, which left their mark, as when in 1927 she spoke in Congregation with Cyril Bailey in an unsuccessful effort to resist the imposition of a 'numerus clausus' on the womens colleges. Students who came in contact with her were especially impressed by the fact that 'she knew so much about wickedness, and yet could make one believe and work for happy and rational solutions of the most tangled moral and political problems'.
She continued to work on these problems - as a member of the Street Offences Committee [concerned with prostitution and soliciting, but doomed by its composition] and the Young Offenders Committee through which she tried to secure an adequate probation service and to get probation extended to cover a much wider range of offences. But above all she was deeply involved, in association with Roy Calvert, D.N. Pritt, and others, in the campaign for the abolition of Capital Punishment, presenting evidence on behalf of the Howard League to the abortive select committee set up by J.R. Clynes as Home Secretary in 1929.
Generation 12 (con't)
Sara Margery Fry had never intended to spend more than about five years at Somerville. Soon after her retirement in 1931 she established a new base in London, at 48 Clarenden Road, Holland Park, 'absolutely on the borderline of slum and respectability', and filled it with paintings and objects of beauty collected over the years. For the remainder of her life this was her home for the homeless and wanderers of many countries, as well as a meeting- place for radicals and reformers with different interests and shades of opinion.
In the thirties the worsening world situation and her own growing international reputation involved her in a new range of activities, supplementing but not displacing the old. In 1933, shortly after the Japanese invasion of Manchuria, the Universities China Committee invited her to make a lecture tour of Chinese universities. Her intereast in the great transformations taking place in Chinese society, as well as in its ancient civilisation, remained intense, expressed both through her friendships with chinese teachers and students and her work with the China Campaign Committee, for which she lectured and spoke at meetings throughout Britain.
Her understanding of Chinese politics made her particularly concerned to ensure that aid from Britain reached the Chinese Communists and was not directed solely to the Kuomintang Government. During this period also she became increasingly occupied with the problems of penal reform in an international setting, particularly in societies where conditions were worst and factual information most defective.
She visited Geneva in 1935 to try to induce the League of Nations to adopt a convention, which would lay down minimum standard rules for the treatment of prisoners. In 1936 she became a member of the Colonial Office's newly established advisory committee on penal reform, and in 1937 she took part in a Howard League mission to study the prisons and penal systems of South- Eastern Europe.
In Britain during the late thirties her political sympathies were with those of the non-Communist Left who were working for some form of Popular Front. She consequently resigned her membership of the Labour Party [which she had joined in 1918] when early in 1939 its executive expelled Sir Stafford Cripps for advocating such a policy. One specific contribution, which she made at this time to the effort to increase the effectiveness of radical intellectuals, was her sponsorship of the serious but short-lived organisation, For Intellectual Liberty.
When war began in 1939 Sara Margery Fry was already sixty-five, no longer able, as in 1914, to move into some entirely different field of work. She carried on with her existing activities as far as practicable, and took on new commitments where this seemed likely to be useful. She continued to serve as a magistrate; worked on her Clarke Hall lecture, 'The Ancestral Child' [never delivered, but published in 1940]; visited France early in 1940 to investigate the problem of intellectual refugees; experienced the blitz; took part in a study of evacuation and evacuees; served, unwillingly, on the government committee on non-enemy interned aliens [those imprisoned under '18B']; wrote with Champion B. Russell an 'A.B.C. for Juvenile Magistrates' [published in 1942 as A Notebook for the Children's Court], regarding 'rational occupation', for herself as for prisoners, as the best remedy for misery.
During the thirties she had discovered that she enjoyed broadcasting and was good at it, and had served for a time as a Governor of the B.B.C. She took part in the earliest series of 'Any Questions?' and in 1942 became a member of the Brains Trust. Although much distressed by the prospect of leaving her sisters for so long a period, she spent the years 1942-3 in the United States, speaking on penal questions, visiting universities and prisons.
During the dozen years of life which remained after the war Margery Fry retained a
Generation 12 (con't)
vigorous interest in the causes with which she had become identified, withdrawing somewhat from active campaigning, but continuing to talk, write and educate with all her old wit and understanding.
Her central ideas on penal reform were set out in the pamphlet, 'The Future Treatment of the Adult Offender [1944]'. These were further developed in her one full-length book ' Arms of the Law [1951]', in which she put together the material which she had collected over the years on the development of crime and punishment in human society and her proposals for future advance.
Some of the many objectives for which had worked, notably the abolition of the death penalty were partially realized in her lifetime. But half-measures, where she knew what ought to be done, left her unsatisfied. And at eighty she still had the freshness of mind to move into new fields and confront new problems: the importance of developing criminology and penology as academic studies; the need to work out a national scheme of compensation for the victims of violence; the problems of the aged, discussed in her address, 'Old Age Looks at Itself [1955], to the International Association of Gerontology.
But, though any account of Sara Margery Fry's life is bound to pay attention to causes, persons mattered a great deal more to her than causes-or rather, causes were important because they were ways of trying to increase the happiness and diminish the misery of individual people. Deeply disliking all forms of dogmatism, in ethics and politics as well as religion, she believed in working for a world in which the sort of pleasures she valued most- playing the flute, painting pictures, walking in the woods of Provence, enjoying the conversatiion of friends-could be made as widely available as possible. She died at her home in Clarendon Road, where she could watch the birds in the trees at the back, on the 21st April 1958.
A portrait by Roger Fry is at Somerville College, Oxford.

...'In the autumn of 1913 she became, [Sara Margery Fry] , through the will of her bachelor uncle, Joseph Storrs Fry, financially independant for the rest of her life. He is said to have died in the room where he was born, in the old house in front of the original cocoa factory'.
Generation 12 (con't)
...'Yet Uncle Joseph had a memorable funeral: the factory choir sang at the graveside, and at the same time as Friends were holding ' a meeting for worship on the occasion of the death of our Friend' a memorial service took place in Bristol Cathedral'.
...'Though Uncle Joseph's interests had seemed strangely limited to his niece, his will was a masterpiece. Night after night he must have sat in his lonely room, parcelling out his huge wealth as if for a great christmas treat. First came gifts to his workers and the great benefactions to Quakers and other causes. Then came the legacies, as one after another this apparently lonely old man remembered those who had shown kindness or need. he had made one miscalculation: He was nearly twice as rich as he had believed himself to be.
... When the residue of the estate was divided Margery Fry found herself witha larger income than a university professor: just ten times as large, by Margery's friend Dr. Fisher reckoning in 1917, as the pay of 42,200 certificated elementary school teachers, men and women.
...She sent off donations everywhere. Early in 1914 she sent in her resignation from University House.
2001...April...I obtained from the Tunbridge Wells Library "Somerville for Women, An Oxford College, 1879-1993, by Pauline Adams". The history of the College and the 'Principalship of Margery Fry". This book was one of two books recomended by the College.
2001...20 April...from the book " Somerville for Women" it states on page 165, ...In May 1926 she [Margery Fry, Principal Elect,] wrote to the then Principal of Somervillle, Miss Penrose, 'asking for a delay in taking up her new office [as Principal] until the end of Michaelmas Term... so that she could visit her Nephew Julian Fry in British Columbia, Canada'. There, a Riding accident came near to overturning her plans completely; as she lay awaiting rescue one of her first thoughts was ' I shall not have to go to Somerville after all'.
On page 174...Margery remained in Oxford for less than five years. The death of her mother in the spring of 1930 freed her sister Agnes from the cares of long years of nursing, and made possible the extended travel which they had long hoped to undertake together.

There were better opportunities at the Bristol Wagon Works, originally founded by two Quakers, John Fowler [Inventor of the steam plough] and Albert Fry on Temple Street in 1851. It moved to a 12-acre site on Lawrence Hill in 1866, and there built railway carriages and wagons, road vehicles and [through Fowler was no longer involved in the company] farm implements. The majority of its railway output went abroad, but work for this country included steam rail-motors for which power units were supplied by the Avonside Engine Works off Barton Road, a firm that had specialised in industrial and narrow gauge tank engines since taking over part of the old Avonside Ironworks in 1882. In 1923 the Bristol Wagon Works became part of Cammell, Laird Co Ltd and was closed down; the premises were sold to the Bristol Tramways & Carriage Co.
2011...19 July....Signature
Lawrence Hill- always a major thoroughfare as the route to Kingswood- received the dignity of a railway station when Bristol & South Wales Union Railway opened its line to New Passage [for ferries across the severn] in 1863. This was Bristol's first suburban service, filling a gap quite ignored by the Bristol & Gloucester [ later Midland ] Railway Line opened back in 1844.

=========================================================
2001...21 June...Taken from the 'Memoir' of Francis Fry of Bristol, by Theodore Fry, [as taken from "Quakers in Commerce" at Bristol Records Office]...it mentions on page194... 'Lewis Fry, a solicitor in Bristol, still further extended his own wide connections by his marriage in 1858 to a daughter of Francis Gibson of Saffron Walden, thus becoming related to all the Great Quaker Bankers in London and the country.' He began his Parliamentary career in 1878 as Member for his native town of Bristol and did hard work in the House as chairman of many and important committees. As befitted a Quaker, he was a Liberal; but when he came to the conclusion that Gladstone's Home Rule policy would lead to disaster he crossed the floor to the Unionists- and left that party again when he felt unable to support Chamberlain's
Tariff Reform. In Bristol itself Lewis Fry was largely engaged in civic work, particularly on the educational side.

printing press; he solved the problem of how to make the paper used for cheques chemically protected [the cheque books of a very great number of banks in this country are printed by Barclay
Fry]; and thirdly he devised the process of printing on tin, from which has developed an extensive business in decorated tin boxes. On Robert Barclay's' death in 1876 John Doyle Fry bought out the Barclay interest and twenty years later had the Grove Works built in Southwark which are still the headquarters of the firm.

2006...26 February...file revised and reprinted following our visit to Cricket St Thomas Hotel which we confirmed was previously the Home & Seat for Francis James Fry from 1897 to 1918 his Death.
2006...20 February...The following information was given to us about the History of The House & Gardens of Cricket St. Thomas.
Cricket St Thomas was a thriving estate before the Doomsday Book of 1086. Indeed 'Cricket' is an ancient Anglo Saxon word meaning a ridge or hill. During the 12th and 13th Centuries the occupiers or tenants of the estate were the de Cricket family, but in 1387 the manor was sold to Sir Walter de Rodney, an ancestor of the famous Lord Rodney [1719-1792]. In 1446 the estate was bought by Stephen Preston, whose direct descendants continued to enjoy Cricket for a further 220 years. One of these, Sir Amayas Preston, a seafarer of great skill, is credited with the capture of the admiral of the Spanish Armada.
In 1775 the estate moved to Captain Alexander Hood, later Vice Admiral and Baron Bridport. In 1884 the Baronacy passed to Samuel Hood whose wife Charlotte was a niece of Lord Horatio Nelson.
It was Samuel who landscaped the estate by damming streams to create a chain of lakes, pulling down cottages, as there had been a small village on the western bank of the river, diverting roads, planting fine trees, many of which stand today. His son Alexander Nelson Hood GCB reached the rank of General and later became Lord in waiting to Queen Victoria. He lived at Cricket until 1897 when the estate was sold to the chocolate Manufacturer Francis James Fry and then to the Hall Family in 1920.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And so to1965 when Cricket House is registered Grade 11* on the English Heritage Register of Historic Parks and Gardens and is therefore of great importance. The development of the Warner Hotel has therefore been executed with great care to assimilate the buildings and other facilities into his landscape. In particular, the setting of Cricket House and St. Thomas's Church were seen as very important and as such were to remain substantially undisturbed by the new development. Thus the Courtyard Bedrooms which lie to the north of Cricket House have been set down onto the lower terrace level so that this building does not compete with the setting of Cricket House, whilst the flight of steps leading from the East Terrace down to the lower Terrace by the East Front of this building reinforces its subservient position. Similarly, development of the Walled Garden Accommodation and Leisure Club have been sympathetically designed to avoid intruding upon St. Thomas's Church, whilst the cruciform arrangement has allowed existing trees to be maintained and provides for a series of courtyard gardens giving pleasing settings to the bedrooms.
