The family ran the village shop in Church street, before moving to 'Striped Cottage' in Broadmoor Road, and later to 'The Post Office' on Shipdham Lane, where they ran the Post Office until 1980's.<p></p><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Enid reached the amazing milestone of 100 years, and was Carbrooke's oldest resident.

She was involved in all aspects of Carbrooke throughout her life, attending the village school, and church, and being involved with the social life in Carbrooke. She was a talented artist, and had several pieces of work displayed in London galleries. She specialised in miniatures, and some of us have the honour of owning one, as they were donated as raffle prizes for village events.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Enid had a great pride in her village, and was a wealth of information, for the heritage group, often lending photos and items for our archives.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">She will be greatly missed, and we send our condolences to her family and friends.</span>Carbrooke History and Heritagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16772037380860551920noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2421905237104030711.post-40713127703163971372020-09-23T02:51:00.001-07:002020-09-23T02:51:55.012-07:00John Moray Smith in Carbrooke <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><div>I am looking forward to reading this new purchase, which I discovered whilst doing a Google search for the eccentric artists who were friends of Revd George Chambers, and stayed at Carbrooke Vicarage for a while during 1920/30's. We have a number of pieces by them in the church, including our Nativity figures. I didn't realise how much work they did in Norfolk, especially mural panels that are dotted around the city.</div><div>There is also a panel of theirs in the 'The Flying Fish' Pub, Carbrooke. http://www.citybookshopnorwich.co.uk/product/4459/John-Moray-Smith--The-eccentric-Norwich-artist-who-brought-individuality-to-our-pubs-with-extraordinary-panels-showing-local-scenes-through-the-ages-Paul-Burall<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For example the old church at Carbrooke Parva (Caudle Springs ) was pulled down and the materials used to extend our church in the village. When the Commanderie was dissolved, the materials were used to build or renovate other structures in the village.<p></p><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">Roger Weston tells how he rescued the old school gate posts;</div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">This was rescued by me over twenty years ago, when the spoils from excavations in the school playground were removed and dumped in a local rubbish pit.

It is hard to know how much Carbrooke people would have known about the Crimean War in 1856, but this piece published in 'Norfolk Chronicles', details how they celebrated the ending of the war.

Preparations were going on in different parts of the village in erecting arches and a good display of flags and mottoes, whilst the flags of our brave allies floated in the breeze, and persons were busily engaged arranging tables for all. Preparations being ready by three o’clock, the poorer classes, who were to partake, began to arrive in family groups and family parties, and by the time they had taken their seats, the band struck up “O the Roast Beef of old England”, and at four o’clock 500 well ordered and neatly attired men, women and children were regaled with roast beef, plum-puddings and a bountiful supply of beer. Grace was appropriately chanted. After dinner the health of the Queen was proposed and drank with three times three hearty cheers, followed by other toasts. which were kindly responded to. The Watton band performed well the usual tunes on such occasions. The company sang “God save the Queen”, and “Rule Britannia”. The persons employed as carvers and waiters also sat down, in a commodious booth, to the same English fare. After dinner the rustic sports began with a donkey race, followed by boys and girls running for varius prizes, jumping in sacks and jingling matches, climbing the pole, and dancing. In the evening some good fireworks were displayed, which excited much delight, and the festivities concluded with a large bon-fire, which terminated a day of mirth and amusement to the inhabitants of Carbrooke and adjoining villages, from 2,000 to 3,000 persons being present.</div></div>Carbrooke History and Heritagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16772037380860551920noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2421905237104030711.post-74265293128902266802020-08-29T01:27:00.001-07:002020-08-29T01:27:36.521-07:00Carbrooke Heritage News - Updated Website <div>Carbrooke Heritage Website, is in the process of being updated.

However during the 2018 Heritage Festival in the church, whilst looking for something else, a member of the PCC found what she recognised as the missing armour. We were delighted to have rediscovered it. </span></p><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">It was sent to Norwich Museum, who also sent it to the Royal Armourer, as it was of such interest. It had been presumed to have been Medieval given Carbrookes links with Knights Hospitallers, but instead it was dated to the mid-late 1600s by Norwich Museum, which was very enthusiastic about such a rare find. The armour has been professionally conserved for the village by the museum at a cost of almost £2500.00</div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">The village of Carbrooke has 13 pieces from a suit of Parish Armour dating from the English Civil War period (1642-1651). </div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">What is Parish Armour? </div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">Every village in England was required to send young men to fight in the Civil War, as Pikemen. These conscripts, clad only in leather jerkins, were ‘cannon fodder’ in the battles and had to fight mounted cavalry, who were armed with swords and other lethal weapons – and wore armour.</div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">Those villages which could afford it thus purchased a suit of armour for their soldier, usually made by the local blacksmith. Hence the concept of “Parish Armour”; it remained the property of the parish.</div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">Mike Botting, volunteered to make and donate a cabinet in which to display the armour; and to obtain sponsorship from local people and businesses to defray the cost of conservation. He also donated the model 'Knight' for display purposes.</div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">Should you wish to make a donation towards the restoration of unique local artefact, please contact Mike, Donations of £200 will be acknowledged by a plaque on the cabinet itself, while smaller donations will be listed on a board adjacent to it.</div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">Please make cheques payable to Carbrooke Heritage Group, or you can make BACS transfers to Carbrooke Heritage Group’s account at Lloyds Bank, sort code 30-92-88, account number 01300405. Please write “Parish Armour” on the back of your cheque, or in the “reference” box in your bank transfer. Any amount which you can afford would be greatly appreciated.</div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">The Armour is on permanent display in the church, and can be viewed whenever the church is open, or by arrangement.gg<div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The Smith family will be getting together over the weekend, Enid Clarke (Smith)
still lives in Carbrooke, as does younger brother Brian. Norah will be visiting
from the USA (an American war bride), and sister Betty from Scotland. Believe
it or not, all 3 sisters are in their 90's, with Brian aged 87.<br />
Their mother ran Carbrooke Post Office for many years, during <span class="textexposedshow">the 20th century, and the Smith family have been involved
in many Carbrooke activities over the years.</span><br />

from the success of the poppy production within the community, which were displayed
on the Church for the Remembrance commemorations, we are considering ways we
can work together to produce a lasting item of interest using the talents of
our community. One suggestion is to create a ‘<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Carbrooke Time Line’</b> incorporating, national/international and
local events illustrated by our residents using crafting, stitching,
woodworking and artistic skills. If anyone would like to get involved with this
please get in touch.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

It was well supported and raised about £65 for group funds. More recently we have been involved in preparations for the Remembrance Weekend and the production of poppies. John Coppen gave a presentation on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and their work, again well supported.

The school Headmistress for these years kept meticulous and detailed records of activities in the school, village and outside world during those turbulent years. American servicemen visited the school and provided parties for the children. Several years ago, letters written during war time between Carbrooke school pupils and an American girl were discovered in a library in Norfolk Virginia USA.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;

this time last year, we began considering ways in which we could commemorate
the Centenary of the ending of The Great War. In early summer, a suggestion was
made, that we might knit or crochet poppies, - one for each of the 27 men on Carbrooke
War Memorial. This was being planned in similar ways across the whole country, and
we felt would be a project many would like be involved with - to show their
respect and to be part of something bigger.</span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">A group
conversation grew and grew, until we had decided we might try and produce
hundreds of poppies to cover the church tower, representing those who have been
killed in military action in service of our country. For anyone who doesn’t
know, this would be some project as the church tower is (I am told) 99 feet
high. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Over the
summer, we started planning and passing on the idea, poppy patterns were shared
around, and the handiwork began. I was rather alarmed, when I read in the PCC
minutes that we would be making <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">thousands</i>
of poppies, and I don’t think anyone believed we would really get enough
poppies to do anything significant, but by the autumn, poppy production was
well under way by the whole community, & others who had heard about it
through word of mouth or social media and wanted to be involved.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">How we would
attach the poppies was a quandary, the tower was too tall to hang a net from as
other places have done, and there would be no way of fixing them individually.
Eventually we decided attaching them to strings, trailing them from the top of
the tower, like streamers – a different take on the usual ideas.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">During
October more and more poppies arrived and we began sewing them onto the strings,
the school and playgroup wanted to be involved, with the children making felt
poppies, and playgroup mini wreaths, which have been used to decorate the
screen inside the church.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">We estimate
that we have produced 2500 poppies, and whilst sewing them, often comment on
the different styles and colours of red used, we have done our best to mix them
all up. Apparently there is now a nationwide shortage of red wool! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">You may notice some of the poppies are
purple; - these signify the horses, <span style="background: white; color: #222222;">mules,
camels, bullocks, dogs, carrier pigeons and other <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">animals</span></span> which suffered the same
terrible conditions as the soldiers & were sacrificed in our wars. There
are also some white poppies - our hope that one day there will be lasting
peace.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">At the
beginning of November, the streamers were hoisted to the top of the tower and attached
to the flagpole, with the ends secured into the ground with wooden pegs, we are
particularly pleased that one very long streamer reaches to the war memorial. The
original plan, to place a knitted poppy for each man mentioned, on the war
memorial has also been achieved. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">We set out
to create a tangible commemoration and opportunity to pay respect to our
ancestors, family members, friends or neighbours – and as recognition of the
terrible waste of life & atrocities that has been endured in conflicts,
which drive people apart. This activity on the other hand has bought
communities across the country together.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Many Carbrooke
people, and others further afield, have been involved in our project, who may
not normally meet or work together, this in turn is part of a larger, nationwide
project, to remember, respect and hope for the future. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">We plan to
leave the displays in place until the end of November then all the poppies will
be stored and used again in the future as part of our annual remembrance
service, or for special events.<o:p></o:p></span></p>Carbrooke History and Heritagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16772037380860551920noreply@blogger.com0
