Alvirda Rossman was born 24 September 1874 in Fulton, New York, the daughter of Benjamin Rossman (born circa 1833) and Lucinda Spencer (born circa 1839). Alvirda grew up in Fulton, and in 1900, was listed as a milliner, while living with her parents. Alvirda was married on 31 December 1906 to Fred Allen Goodenough (1882-1953). In 1910, the couple was farming in Fulton, but in censuses from 1920 through 1940, they operated a dairy farm in Richmondville, Schoharie County, New York. Alvirda passed away in Cobleskill on 19 February 1956 after an illness of two years.
Photographer Oswald Burnett was born in Jefferson, New York, on 26 September 1841, the son of Spencer Burnett (1816-1884) and Barsina Barger (1818-1906). In 1850, he was living in Jefferson with his parents and three siblings, and his father was a stone mason. In 1860, the family was farming in Blenheim, NY. On 22 September 1862, Oswald enlisted in Company E, New York 134th Infantry Regiment; he was mustered out on 17 February 1863, with a surgeon’s disability certificate. He nonetheless, enlisted on 24 September 1864 in Company Battery M, New York 1st Light Artillery Battery; he was mustered out on 23 June 1865. Shortly after the end of the Civil War, Oswald opened the first full-time photographic gallery in Cobleskill, New York. He was married in 1868 to Hannah L. Dibble (1850-1909) and the couple had four children. It seems that Burnett had given up photography sometime early in the 1890‘s, as he was listed in a directory as a wood turner; in 1900, he was living in Binghamton, NY, and was listed as a wood carter. In 1910, he was widowed and living with a son’s family in Binghamton, and was working as an accountant in the county assessor’s office. Oswald married again, this time to Lallah M. Lindsay on 10 January 1914. Oswald Burnett passed away on 23 April 1916.
The original block of St Mary's Hospital in Norfolk Place was designed by Thomas Hopper in the classical style. It first opened its doors to patients in 1851, the last of the great voluntary hospitals to be founded. Among St Mary's founders was the surgeon Isaac Baker Brown, a controversial figure who performed numerous clitoridectomies at the London Surgical Home, his hospital for women, and who "immediately set to work to remove the clitoris whenever he had the opportunity of doing so." It was at St Mary's Hospital that C.R. Alder Wright first synthesized diamorphine in 1874.
The Clarence Memorial Wing, designed by Sir William Emerson and built with its main frontage on Praed Street, opened in 1904. It was at the hospital that Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin in 1928. Fleming's laboratory has been restored and incorporated into a museum about the discovery and his life and work.
The private Lindo wing, where there have been royal births and several celebrity births, opened in November 1937; it was financed by businessman and hospital board member Frank Charles Lindo, who made a large donation before his death in 1938.
Following the 1944 publication of a report by Sir William Goodenough advocating a minimum size for teaching hospitals, and following the formation of the National Health Service in the 1948, several local hospitals became affiliated to St Mary's Hospital. These included Paddington General Hospital, the Samaritan Hospital for Women and the Western Eye Hospital.
In the 1950s, Felix Eastcott, a consultant surgeon and deputy director of the surgical unit at St Mary's Hospital, carried out pioneering work on carotid endarterectomy designed to reduce the risk of stroke. Paddington General Hospital closed and relocated services to the Paddington basin site in November 1986 and, in common with the other London teaching hospitals who lost their independence at that time, the medical school of St Mary's Hospital merged with that of Imperial College London in 1988.
In 1987 as part of on-going rationalisation within the NHS, the hundred year old Paddington Green Children's Hospital was closed down, the listed buildings sold off and its services absorbed into St Mary's. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Mary%27s_Hospital,_London
For round 8 of 'Get Pushed' the wonderfully creative Nancy Goodenough challenged me with
"...the concept of "Cycle" and decide if you want to go literal or conceptual. Could be bicycle, motorcycle or 'cycle of life.' You've also done many styles and techniques. Do your cycle in the postprocessing method of your choice, but consider something you haven't tried before and would like to stretch to. Of course, an obscure or idiosyncratic point of view gets extra points."
Not only did I enjoy the pleasure of her inspiring and colourful stream, but a really fun push to explore. I knew just where to find the logical subject for this challenge, and was quickly drawn into the "periodically repeated sequence of events" better know as Photoshop layers. To incorporate something new however, I turned to Filter > Distort > Spherical - an effect that seemed to lend itself to the sense of motion that a wheel denotes, and an obscura effect that felt perfectly suited to this vintage find.
And while it's not the most obscure or conceptual of subjects, I've obscured the view beyond the sphere with a few layers of quick burn. As for idiosyncratic - the perspective may not qualify but finding the definition of "behavioral characteristic peculiar to an individual or group", I'd say signing up for repeated rounds of Get Pushed probably qualifies the whole lot of us at this point.
And with this much processing, how could I not post it along with a HSS.
Thanks Nancy, for the push into some seriously fun wheeling around!
This eerie ruby ambrotype, which I had to tease back from oblivion, is a late-life portrait of Baptist deacon William Gold (31 Oct., 1780 – 16 March, 1859) who married Anna (or Annett) Vera Dewey (b. 1780, VT). He was the paternal grandfather of Abbie and Celia Gold, of whom you may read about here: www.flickr.com/photos/60861613@N00/12980093504/. The origins of the Gold family were in England. The immigrant had been Joseph Gold, Deacon William's father, who was “born in London, England, in sight of Whitefield Church. He came to this country at the age of nineteen years, and made his home in what was then Northbury, Connecticut. He served in the Revolutionary War for seven years. Afterwards, he was employed at the government arsenal at Springfield, Massachusetts. Thence he went to Stratford, Connecticut, where he followed farming. In 1822, he came to Roxbury, Vermont, to live with his son [deacon] William and died there in 1924. He married, in Northbury, Patience Goodenough, who died in 1826,” states “New England Families, Genealogical and Memorial: A Record of the Achievements of Her People in the Making of Commonwealths and the Founding of a Nation, Volume 4."

Goodenough Club provides 4 star standard accommodations in five historic Georgian townhouses overlooking a quiet garden square in central London.
Nos. 22–25 Mecklenburgh Square survived the war and were used as a nurses’ home until 1989, when they were handed back in a very dilapidated state. At first, the houses were repaired and used as inexpensive accommodation for short-stay visitors, mostly returning alumni and other academics in London to attend conferences and seminars. By 1997 however it was clear that something drastic had to be done if they were to meet the standards that would be required in the 21st century.
The houses were closed, and plans made to add No. 21 and renovate and upgrade at a cost of £3.5 million. There were delays because the Georgian houses are listed buildings in a conservation area, and the work required the approval of both English Heritage (which refused to allow a lift to be installed) and the London Borough of Camden planning department. Eventually the plans were passed, and the Goodenough Club opened its doors in April 2001. The Club is open to academic and professional visitors as well as conference delegates from around the world
Kulenovic was born March 1, 1975 in Sarajevo, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, SFR Yugoslavia).
She studied at Ontario College of Art and Design University in Toronto, Canada; Mimar Sinan University in Istanbul, Turkey; and Chelsea College of Art and Design (University of the Arts London) in London, England. She is also an alumna of Goodenough College in London, England.[3]
A book about the work of Maya Kulenovic by Edward Lucie-Smith in Dutch and English was published by d'jonge Hond in the Netherlands in 2008.
Whether with portraits, which she terms “faces”, architecture, referred to as “build” works, landscapes or still life images, Kulenovic's focus is to capture an ambience or psychological state. She deliberately explores ambiguity, and in her approach to the painted surface she works in glazed layers as well as destructive techniques to create images evoking a particular atemporal context.[4]
Her influences range from sculpture and painting to architecture, photography and film, and include Roman death masks, 19th century daguerreotype photography, documentary films, stills from damaged motion pictures, Eugène Atget, Margaret Bourke-White, Rembrandt, Turner and Francis Bacon.[5]
Edward Lucie-Smith wrote the following about Kulenovic's work:
"No-one could describe Maya Kulenovic's paintings as 'photographic', but their place in the realist tradition is nevertheless secure. Her work is realist in the way that Rembrandt and Goya are realist. They attempt to explore the essence of human existence, and often come up with uncomfortable truths. These truths are conveyed through paintings that fall into very specific categories, related to the old hierarchy of genres that was discarded by the pioneering Modernists, in Kulenovic's work we find still life paintings, portraits (of a sort), landscapes and architectural compositions"
"(about her portraits) .... the artist's preoccupation seems to be, not the creation of a likeness but the presentation of a psychological state. When one looks at these (portraits), one realizes that they are in fact the key to Kulenovic's work considered as a whole. The still lifes, the architectural compositions, and the landscapes are also, in their essence, attempts to identify and present a particular state of being. This quality is what makes her work so haunting, and so unlike the work of any other artist of her generation that I can immediately think of."
Some Taplin history.
Great great great grand father.
Charles James Blatch Taplin arrived in SA on 27 July 1849 on the Elizabeth which sailed from London. He was born in 1810 in Andover or elsewhere in Hampshire and his family came from the Guernsey Islands. He arrived with his wife Eliza( 1813- 1891). She was Eliza Lansley (Rixson) married on 27 Nov 1834 at St Bride's Church, Fleet St, London. Eliza was a spinster at time of marriage.
He opened his first private school at Brighton in 1850. In the mid-1850s he seems to have taken up a town block and built a residence in Salisbury. By 1856 he had a private school for boys in Salisbury. By 1857 he had 80 boys enrolled. This was St Johns Church of England School. His wife Eliza ran a school for girls from 1858 after continued this after he died in 1866. He was the first registered school teacher at Salisbury from 1855-1866 until he died in 1866. Charles James Blatch was Treasurer of the Anglican Church when the foundation stone of St John’s was laid in 1858 with architect Daniel Garlick being present. The church did not open for services until 1865 a year before he died. He was active in town affairs as well as the Anglican Church. Charles died 14 March 1866. Eliza taught from 1863-1867 at her girl’s school in Salisbury. Eliza died 23 May at her home in Woodville 1891, aged 78 and she was born in 1813 and was three years younger than Charles Taplin. Charles and Eliza are both buried in St John’s Anglican cemetery in Salisbury. When Charles Taplin died his son Charles Goodenough Taplin advertised both schools for sale but it is not clear if he got a buyer. Charles Goodenough Taplin in May 1866 applied to have the two schools registered to himself and this was approved by the central education board on 12 May 1866. C G Taplin appears to have been the Executor of Charles James Blatch Taplin’s will.
Charles and Eliza Taplin only appear to have had two sons: William Taplin born in 1835 and Charles Goodenough Taplin born in 1841. Therefore this is a little surprising that his younger son became the executor of his will. But William was the non-academic son who became a farmer and Charles Goodenough went on to train and become an Anglican minister by 1867. Charles G Taplin became the secretary of the Salisbury Institute in 1867. He was preaching at Auburn by 1866 in the Anglican Church. Charles Goodenough Taplin of Salisbury married Louisa Lambert on 18 sept 1867 in Auburn. A baby son born to the Taplins at Macclesfield in November 1868. He was the Reverend C G Taplin at Echunga in 1870 and he attended social functions at Government House as an Anglican minister. Another son born 24 January at Echunga in 1871 to the Taplins. In 1872 he is rector at Wallaroo and he stayed in the Cornish triangle for many years. On 7th April 1876 a daughter born at Wallaroo. Baby Mabel their only daughter died at Wallaroo in December 1877 at 20 months of age. On the 27th October of 1880 another daughter was born at Wallaroo but baby Gertrude also died early on Christmas Day 1882. She would have been 14 months old. By June 1885 Reverend Taplin is rector at St Margaret’s Church Woodville. Then on the 4th January 1886 another son born. A few months later the Charles Taplin family is moved to Port Lincoln and in June 1886 he is the Anglican minister at St Thomas Anglican Church Port Lincoln. Just over a year later Reverend Charles Taplin took on overdose of opium which he was taking to help him sleep and to calm his nerves. He
committed suicide on Saturday 24th July 1887 at Port Lincoln. He was 46 years old. Presumably his wife and four young sons returned to Adelaide and they would have been 19 years, 16 years, and just 19 months old.
Great great grandfather.
Charles and Eliza Taplin’s other son William Taplin born in 1835 is my great great grand father. There is a strong possibility that he fathered an illegitimate daughter around 1856 before his marriage to Harriet Winzor in 1860. The Winzors of Deal Court, a two storey significant house in the Salisbury area in the 1850s, arrived in SA with money and resources so William Taplin’s marriage to Harriet Winzor was a fortuitous step in his life. As early as 1863 his father-in-law John Winzor was advertising that he had money to lend over a seven year term from £1—to £2,000. This was a very large sum when an 80 acre farm could be purchased for less than £100. John Winzor (1807 to 1874) held land at Salisbury for his dairy and 1,160 acres at Grace Plains which he purchased for just under £1,200 in March 1857 which was next to Mallala when it developed.( sections 62,63,71,72,77,78 etc.
William Taplin and Harriet who married in St Johns Anglican Church Salisbury on 7th July 18690 had four children:
•Alice a daughter who only lived from 1863 to 1865. She is buried in her parents’ grave in Salisbury.
•Lillies Eliza Taplin born on the 29th June 1866 at Sheoak Log near Gawler. She is my great grandmother who died at Enfield on the 5th Feb 1956. I remember visiting her before her death with a grand piano and bookshelves of books in her living room. She was very petite. She married Robert Edwin Argent of Peachey Belt in Zoar Bible Christian Church on 23 March 1887.
•Charles James Blatch Taplin a son born 19 October 1868 at Grace Plains. This son of William and Harriet Taplin married at the Wesleyan Church in Redruth Burra Miss Edithe Thirza Rabbich of Scotland on the 27th July 1893. Charles James Blatch Taplin lived in Burra for most of his married life. He died at Westbourne Park on the 9th May 1940.
•John Winzor Taplin 29 December 1872 at Grace Plains. Lived to 10th January 1920, (a son of William) married Laura Skurray of Gawler/Williamstown 4 Sept 1897. He died just 23 years later and was buried next to his parents in St John’s cemetery Salisbury in 1920. J. W Taplin like his father was an excellent rifle shot and competed for many years firstly in Port Adelaide Rifle Club in 1911 and then East Torrens Rifle Club and eventually the Adelaide Rifle Club in 1917. He was born at Winzor Park Grace Plains. He was an engineer and lived in Harcourt Rd Payneham. This son William Arthur Taplin married Gladys Fielder of Torrensville on 11th November 1920 in the Holder Memorial Church Mile End. He died at Eton Park a district of Payneham.
•Harriet Ann Taplin born at Grace Plains in 11 August 1876. She married John Cook at St Columba Anglican Church Hawthorn in 1913 on 26th July. He was 56 years old on marriage. No children.
William Taplin was a farmer. Although he appears to have mainly lived in Salisbury and his wife no doubt would have wanted to be near her parents and siblings he took up land at Grace Plains. Land there was first offered for sale in 1856 but most farmers did not move into that district until 1865 or after. In August 1866 William Taplin of Salisbury advised he would prosecute people carting wood and carting it from sections 440 441 442 443 444 445 446 and 447. Cattle would be impounded. Contact W Taplin at the property or John Winzor in Angas Street Adelaide. The land was also available for lease. The nearest town Mallala was not established until 1872. William took up land near Barraba in the east of the Hundred not far from the Light River. When did William Taplin take up this land and where did he get the money? Was it from an inheritance from his father who died in 1866? William Taplin took up 1,080 acres which would have cost well over £1,000 in the mid 1860s. His sections were numbers 440,441,442,443,445,446,447 and 409 in the Hundred of Grace. In July 1871 Taplin advised section 313 and 314 for available for lease. He bought section 317 in 1874. He built an eight roomed house on the property for the family. Their only daughter to survive childhood was born there in 1876. William and the family returned to live in Salisbury in 1884 and he had a manager run Winzor Park. In 1892 when William was 57 years old he put the farm up for a seven year lease. He advertised this again in 1893 and in 1894. William died in 1904 aged 69 years. William’s son Charles J B Taplin was the executor of his will. Harriet Taplin died in 1909 and was buried next to William in the Salisbury Anglican cemetery.
He also had section 407 which he tried to lease in 1875. Contacts were to him at Winzor Park near Barraba or George Lovelock in Salisbury. William Taplin attended a meeting in Mallala in September 1875 urging a railway to Mallala. He moved the motion for it. William Taplin by 1876, once it was founded, was in the Mallala Gun Club. He competed and won a prize in 1876. He was also in the South Australian Rifle Club as a member from March 1877. He competed in their matches and won first prize in 200 yard live bird shoot in April 1877. He was the chair of the Mallala Gun Club match with Adelaide at Bolivar in September 1877. He chaired the dinner. William Taplin applied to get 31 members of the Mallala Gun Cub included as members of the South Australian Rifle Club also in September 1877. William Taplin led a deputation to obtain a policeman at Mallala in 1877. Taplin was vice president of the Mallala Gun Club and came first all three shoots in October 1877. He also played in the Mallala Cricket Club. In 1878 he was also a steward of the Mallala Horse Racing Club for their meetings. They held an annual race meeting. William Taplin was also a judge of vegetables submitted to the Port Gawler Show in 1879 at Two Wells. In 1880 he was President of the Mallala Agricultural Show Society. In the 1880 show he exhibited horses, wheat, turkeys, hens etc. He took the prize for the best wheat. He won similar prizes in the 1881 show including geese and 1882 and 1883 etc. By 1883 William Taplin was a JP and charged locals of Hamley Bridge for illegally selling alcohol. Culprits sentenced to two months jail by Taplin. He presided over other similar cases. He began selling his farm stock and animals in 1884. He was a judge of horses at the Virginia Show in 1884 and also Two Wells Show. He was made vice president of the Salisbury Cricket Club in 1884. By November 1884 he was the magistrate in the Salisbury Court as he was a JP. In 1885 he competed in the Virginia Show pigeon shooting match. He last sat on the bench of Salisbury Courthouse in 1899. He died after a long illness. In 1896 he was the referee for Salisbury Gun Club competitions.

This was my eighth week in the flickr group Get Pushed. The purpose of the group is to take a challenge from a partner assigned to you each week. For this challenge I was paired with Nancy Goodenough. She has some remarkable work in her stream and it is definitely worth spending some time viewing her wonderful images. Her images are amazing!
Well, after examining my stream, she stated, "I was thinking rather than the modern buildings . . ., take a graphic sort of image of or in your house or school where the thumbnail looks like a graphic, but closer look you see it's part of a building inside or out. Could be part of a desk or chair even. Let your art go wild in a big graphic way. (No people/no nature in the shot!)
This was the most difficult challenge, but fun challenge. This proved to be hard for me, I think for me because I was so familiar with the subject that nothing really seem graphic enough to me. I really have a lot of room for improvement, but this was truly a push.
This was an excellent push, and I have had a great time working with and corresponding with Nancy.
I hope that this meets your expectations Nancy. I plan to continue working on this topic more. I completed another set of images from my barn at home.
Thanks so much Nancy (Nancy Goodenough) this was truly are great push project.
Check out Nancy's fabulous response to my challenge here It's a must see and beautiful!
Thanks for viewing and have a wonderful day. :D

As early as 1863 his father-in-law John Winzor was advertising that he had money to lend over a seven year term from £1—to £2,000. This was a very large sum when an 80 acre farm could be purchased for less than £100. John Winzor (1807 to 1874) held land at Salisbury for his dairy and 1,160 acres at Grace Plains which he purchased for just under £1,200 in March 1857 which was next to Mallala when it developed.( sections 62,63,71,72,77,78 etc.
William Taplin and Harriet who married in St Johns Anglican Church Salisbury on 7th July 18690 had four children:
•Alice a daughter who only lived from 1863 to 1865. She is buried in her parents’ grave in Salisbury.
•Lillies Eliza Taplin born on the 29th June 1866 at Sheoak Log near Gawler. She is my great grandmother who died at Enfield on the 5th Feb 1956. I remember visiting her before her death with a grand piano and bookshelves of books in her living room. She was very petite. She married Robert Edwin Argent of Peachey Belt in Zoar Bible Christian Church on 23 March 1887.
•Charles James Blatch Taplin a son born 19 October 1868 at Grace Plains. This son of William and Harriet Taplin married at the Wesleyan Church in Redruth Burra Miss Edithe Thirza Rabbich of Scotland on the 27th July 1893. Charles James Blatch Taplin lived in Burra for most of his married life. He died at Westbourne Park on the 9th May 1940.
•John Winzor Taplin 29 December 1872 at Grace Plains. Lived to 10th January 1920, (a son of William) married Laura Skurray of Gawler/Williamstown 4 Sept 1897. He died just 23 years later and was buried next to his parents in St John’s cemetery Salisbury in 1920. J. W Taplin like his father was an excellent rifle shot and competed for many years firstly in Port Adelaide Rifle Club in 1911 and then East Torrens Rifle Club and eventually the Adelaide Rifle Club in 1917. He was born at Winzor Park Grace Plains. He was an engineer and lived in Harcourt Rd Payneham. This son William Arthur Taplin married Gladys Fielder of Torrensville on 11th November 1920 in the Holder Memorial Church Mile End. He died at Eton Park a district of Payneham.
•Harriet Ann Taplin born at Grace Plains in 11 August 1876. She married John Cook at St Columba Anglican Church Hawthorn in 1913 on 26th July. He was 56 years old on marriage. No children.
William Taplin was a farmer. Although he appears to have mainly lived in Salisbury and his wife no doubt would have wanted to be near her parents and siblings he took up land at Grace Plains. Land there was first offered for sale in 1856 but most farmers did not move into that district until 1865 or after. In August 1866 William Taplin of Salisbury advised he would prosecute people carting wood and carting it from sections 440 441 442 443 444 445 446 and 447. Cattle would be impounded. Contact W Taplin at the property or John Winzor in Angas Street Adelaide. The land was also available for lease. The nearest town Mallala was not established until 1872. William took up land near Barraba in the east of the Hundred not far from the Light River. When did William Taplin take up this land and where did he get the money? Was it from an inheritance from his father who died in 1866? William Taplin took up 1,080 acres which would have cost well over £1,000 in the mid 1860s. His sections were numbers 440,441,442,443,445,446,447 and 409 in the Hundred of Grace. In July 1871 Taplin advised section 313 and 314 for available for lease. He bought section 317 in 1874. He built an eight roomed house on the property for the family. Their only daughter to survive childhood was born there in 1876. William and the family returned to live in Salisbury in 1884 and he had a manager run Winzor Park. In 1892 when William was 57 years old he put the farm up for a seven year lease. He advertised this again in 1893 and in 1894. William died in 1904 aged 69 years. William’s son Charles J B Taplin was the executor of his will. Harriet Taplin died in 1909 and was buried next to William in the Salisbury Anglican cemetery.
He also had section 407 which he tried to lease in 1875. Contacts were to him at Winzor Park near Barraba or George Lovelock in Salisbury. William Taplin attended a meeting in Mallala in September 1875 urging a railway to Mallala. He moved the motion for it. William Taplin by 1876, once it was founded, was in the Mallala Gun Club. He competed and won a prize in 1876. He was also in the South Australian Rifle Club as a member from March 1877. He competed in their matches and won first prize in 200 yard live bird shoot in April 1877. He was the chair of the Mallala Gun Club match with Adelaide at Bolivar in September 1877. He chaired the dinner. William Taplin applied to get 31 members of the Mallala Gun Cub included as members of the South Australian Rifle Club also in September 1877. William Taplin led a deputation to obtain a policeman at Mallala in 1877. Taplin was vice president of the Mallala Gun Club and came first all three shoots in October 1877. He also played in the Mallala Cricket Club. In 1878 he was also a steward of the Mallala Horse Racing Club for their meetings. They held an annual race meeting. William Taplin was also a judge of vegetables submitted to the Port Gawler Show in 1879 at Two Wells. In 1880 he was President of the Mallala Agricultural Show Society. In the 1880 show he exhibited horses, wheat, turkeys, hens etc. He took the prize for the best wheat. He won similar prizes in the 1881 show including geese and 1882 and 1883 etc. By 1883 William Taplin was a JP and charged locals of Hamley Bridge for illegally selling alcohol. Culprits sentenced to two months jail by Taplin. He presided over other similar cases. He began selling his farm stock and animals in 1884. He was a judge of horses at the Virginia Show in 1884 and also Two Wells Show. He was made vice president of the Salisbury Cricket Club in 1884. By November 1884 he was the magistrate in the Salisbury Court as he was a JP. In 1885 he competed in the Virginia Show pigeon shooting match. He last sat on the bench of Salisbury Courthouse in 1899. He died after a long illness. In 1896 he was the referee for Salisbury Gun Club competitions.

St Andrew, Chesterton, Cambridge
At the 1911 census, the year before her death, Matilda Jeffs Goodenough lived at Dale Hurst, Cam Road (today Elizabeth Way) with a nurse. Her income was described as being 'of private means'. The house, a large one, survives.
Intriguingly, earlier censuses, as late as 1901, show her as a laundress living across the river in the slums of John Street. It is clearly the same person. What happened in those ten years to allow her to live in a grand house in Cam Road, and to afford such a splendid headstone?
St Andrew's is a large former village church in the densely-packed suburbs of north-east Cambridge. Chesterton was once a village in the water meadows north of the Cam, its parish extending at its most westerly point, a mile or so from the village, to contain the northern medieval suburb of Cambridge which included the castle. Chesterton became a 19th Century industrial and market-gardening suburb, but it was still a separate urban district until 1912 when the boundaries were redrawn so that it became a part of Cambridge, almost doubling the population of the city. The historic centre of old Chesterton was finally physically joined to the rest of urban Cambridge by the Elizabeth Bridge in 1971.
The church is long, aisled and clerestoried, with a landmark spire visible from the river and from higher buildings in the centre of the city. Until the end of the 20th Century the church was overshadowed by the large Pye Radio factory, once manufacturers of radios and televisions, but this has now gone to be replaced by a sea of apartment blocks. Still, it is possible to tell that there was once a village here, with the 18th Century former vicarage to the north-east, and a large grange to the north-west on the edge of the old High Street.
Internally, St Andrew is pretty much all of several successive restorations of the 19th Century, and a dismal reordering of the 1970s. There is a large scheme of generally underwhelming glass by a number of lesser 19th Century workshops. But all of that can be forgiven, because the great star here is one of East Anglia's best 15th Century doom paintings above the chancel arch and the eastern ends of the arcades. The south (Hell) side is best, with the dead rising from their graves and being stuffed down into Hell by grinning devils. You can still see the outline left by the vanished cross of the rood in the centre.
The other major survival is a pair of large, upright bench ends of civilian youths of the early 15th Century. They are presumably precursors of the local youths who in 1579, incited by the parish constable Thomas Parish, ambushed and beat up, in the grounds of the church, university students who had come to Chesterton to challenge the locals to a game of football. Indeed, there has been a long history of unease between Chesterton and the University of Cambridge, mostly due to the suburb's reputation for lawlessness, which lasted into my lifetime. This reputation probably arose because of the proximity to Chesterton of the grounds of Stourbridge Fair, the biggest medieval fair in England, on the other side of the river. When the Fair was at its height, hundreds of small punts and barges would ferry customers across to brothels, ale-houses, cock-pits, bear-baiting, bull-baiting and the like. The university finally suppressed these last two activities in Chesterton in 1581.
I was in the choir of this church from 1970 to 1976, and head chorister for part of that time, under the late, great, Barry Eaden, who made this one of the foremost church choirs in the east of England. I still have dreams set in this building.
The church is open every day.
