The Postcard

 

A postcard that was published by Moore & Wingham, Publishers of High-Class Postcards, 39 East Street, Chichester, Sussex. The artwork was by George Fossick.

 

The card was posted in Southsea using a 1d. stamp on the 6th. August 1931. It was sent to:

 

The Rev. Bruce Cornford, M.A.,

Queen's Road,

Waterlooville,

Hants.

 

The message on the divided back was as follows:

 

"When paying in some more

money this morning, I enquired

about that odd eight shillings &

sixpence, & was told that it was

interest allowed, so it is all right,

and not a printer's error.

B.L."

 

The Rev. Bruce Cornford

 

The Reverend Bruce Cornford was born in 1867.

 

His clerical career didn’t have the most auspicious of beginnings. Having just been made a Deacon, Cornford was sent to serve his curacy in Portsmouth.

 

The vicar who was meant to be training him was laid-back, when he wasn’t away on holiday.

 

After being left alone to run the parish for a prolonged period while the incumbent was on the continent, Cornford finally cracked and, in protest at these regular absences, put his superior’s house on the market.

 

When the Vicar was glancing over the English newspapers some time later, he happened to notice a sizeable Portsmouth residence up for sale. His interest piqued, he read on, only to realise to his horror that it was his own house that was being flogged to the highest bidder.

 

The ‘all enquiries to Rev. Bruce Cornford’ part of the advert rather gave the game away – the Vicar cut short his jaunt and Cornford got the sack.

 

In a 1923 issue of the parish magazine, Bruce made the following comment on the christening of Princess Mary’s baby:

 

"I should like to make my tiny protest at a solemn

piece of bunkum enacted at the christening of the

Lascelles baby by the Most Rev. the Lord Archbishop

of York.

General Higginson, of the Guards, aged 96, was one

of the sponsors for this child, and the Archbishop thus

solemnly addressed him:

“Ye are to take care that this child be

brought to the Bishop so soon as he

can say the Creed, the Lord s Prayer,

the Ten Commandments, and be further

instructed in the Church Catechism set

forth for that purpose.”

Surely this is simply farcical. When the baby is four, the

General will be 100, and should he live to that great age

I do not think there will be much possibility of effectual

communication between the two.

When the Archbishop was Vicar at Portsea I think he

used to tell his people that 15 or 16 was usually the best

age for a confirmation candidate.

The General, if he lives, will then be 111, and hardly in a

condition to approach the bishop with the child."

 

In 1928 the Reverend Bruce Cornford convened the inaugural meeting of the Waterlooville & District Motor Cycle and Light Car Club. The meeting took place at The Heroes Pub in Waterlooville.

 

Bruce died in 1940.

Finally, 27 kilometres (that’s 16 miles) after leaving Aumont-Aubrac, the village of Nasbinals – our stop for the night – is in sight.
