Fry Family Tree 2012

THE FRY FAMILY TREE
This family tree was originally researched and recorded by David Fry of
Tunbridge Wells.
David made the results of his research available to us at Frenchay Village
Museum, with the express purpose of making it available to anyone interested in
the Fry family. This we have endeavored to do by adding it to our website as a
free resource.
It shows many other families as well for this 2012 version features well over
2000 individuals and more than 500 family names.
Sadly, this research is published posthumously, as David died in the Spring of
2014. We, and family historians everywhere, owe a great debt of thanks to
David and his family – his wife Jackie and daughter Nina and her husband Zach
- for the efforts they made to ensure we were able to make this information
available.

David Fry
David Fry was born on 4th January 1940 in Shoreham, Sussex. He married Jacqueline
Woodward (Jackie) in 1967 in Reading, Berkshire, and their daughter Nina was born in 1970.
In the 1990s, with Jackie’s invaluable help, David started researching his ancestors, and he
went to extraordinary lengths to ensure the accuracy of his findings. The results of his many
years of research is not just a list of names and relationships, but copious notes on where the
information came from, and reports of visits made to confirm facts. He visited Frenchay on
several occasions, most notably in 2003, when events were held to mark the 275 th anniversary
of the founding of J S Fry & Sons, the famous chocolate manufacturer. David’s research had
shown that the firm’s founder, Dr. Joseph Fry, was his 1st Cousin 7 times removed.
Sadly, David died on 16th May 2014 in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
Just before his death David told us that he wanted the fruits of his research to come
to Frenchay Village Museum, and we are grateful to his family who made sure this
happened. In the Spring of 2015 we collected boxes of paper records from Jackie,
which covered some twenty years of research, and in August 2015 Jackie, with her
daughter Nina and son-in-law Zach came to Frenchay with a box of discs containing
David’s “Family Tree Maker” backup files. The latest of these has been used to
generate the pdf file “Fry Family Tree”, which is on this website.
We are very grateful to David and his family for entrusting us with his research, a
lasting legacy that will be invaluable to researchers around the world, now and in the
future.
The photograph above of David and Jackie was taken on the occasion of his 60 th
birthday.

OUR 8th GREAT GRANDFATHER
Clothworker... this appears to be the first found 'Occupation of Clothworker in the Fry Family'.
Note: According to The Family History Magazine the Civil War was between 1642 and 1650
and The Society of Friends was established in 1647 by George Fox.
2001...20 June...At Bristol Records Office/Archives of J.S.Fry & Sons/ Notes on the Pedigree of the
Family of Fry, by Sir John Pease Fry, Page 1& 2, it says...Living within the sphere of influence of the
Great Abbey of Malmesbury, it is probable that the Frys, like so many other English freeman in
mediaeval times, suffered at the hands both of the Church and Crown, and had little love for either, a
trait long noticeable in our own and other branches of the family , and particularly prominent in the
history of John Fry [1609-1657], the regicide member for Dorsetshire in the Long Parliament, who
himself had probably a Wiltshire origin and whose family was possibly connected with our own.
William Fry, of Sutton Benger [1627-1698], a sturdy Puritan, was one of the earliest adherents of
George Fox, and a century later we find Joseph Fry, of Bristol [1728-1787], displaying the same
characteristic family tendencies [see Latimer's "Annals of Bristol," p. 178].

Notes for Zephaniah Fry: Family Tree File No. 39
This is the FIRST ZEPHANIAH and OUR SEVENTH GREAT GRANDFATHER
1719...31 November & 7th December...The following members of the Fry Family attended the
Marriage of Jacob Young and Mary Smart. We found the Marriage entry showing them as Witnesses
at the FRC on the 4th October 2001 when we visited there. The Reference was RG6/ 1539/029/25.
The Witnesses were William Fry, Zeph Fry, Richard Fry, Margaret Fry & Mary Fry. This 'Zeph' had to
be the one because 'Zeph' his son had died in 1716.
2000...October...According to The Dictionery of National Biography, 1912-1921, pages 200, for Sir Edward
Fry, [Born November 1827, Died 1918] it says' he was a member of a 'Long established Wessex Family at
Corston, near Malmesbury, who followed George Fox and was imprisoned as a Recalcitrant Quaker in
1684'. We will try to find out about this. TD list 20/10/2001************
...1....Their son... Zephaniah... went off and produced the 'Clothier [or 'Clothes' }' line that we are
descended from.
...2....Their son... John ............ went off and produced Dr. Joseph of 'Fry's Chocolate' fame
2001... January 5...According to Lincoln'n Inn Library who sent us Chapter 1 of 'A Memoir of Sir
Edward Fry, by his Daughter Agnes [printed in 1921], " The family appears to have maintained itself
at Corston until the times of the Civil War, when it seems that they lost their property and migrated a
few miles to the village of Sutton Benger, where one of the family- by name Zephaniah-became a
follower of George Fox, and in 1684 'was taken at a meeting of the Quakers' and' was tendered the
oath of allegiance, and for refusing to swear was imprisoned for three months" [2] Besse's Sufferings
of The Quakers, published 1753.
According to The Family History Magazine the Civil War was between 1642 and 1650 and
The Society of Friends was established in 1647 by George Fox.
20 June 2001***********Imprisonment...Taken from Bristol Records Office on visit / Files of Dr.

Joseph Fry, Chocolate Maker / Accession Number. AN 27041018/ M0003610AN/ B20853 /
Biography [50 Pages], it says on page 1..." Whether born a Quaker or not, we know that he was
one in 1683, when he was 25, for his name appears in a list of Friends arrested by one, Thomas
Stokes, Church Warden of "Konton" [sic] [Keynsham?. Attendance of meetings for worship was
illegal under the Conventicle Act. He was ordered to take the Oath of Allegience. This was
refused, Quakers following literally the command ' Swear not at all', and he was sent to prison in
Ilchester Gaol for three months, a mild sentrence for those days"...
2001...4 October...At the FRC, see above 1719 for details of what we found this day.
2003...27 March...Jackie & I visit Sutton Benger Post Office and purchase the book "Sutton Benger, by
Kay S Taylor...Extracts from the Book "Sutton Benger from Saxon Times to the Dawn of the 21st
Century, by Kay S. Taylor."Page 17...Religious refugees from the continent, many of whom were in the
textile industry, chose to settle in towns such as Trowbridge, Chippenham, and Bradford-on-Avon,
which were centres of the Wiltshire clothing trade. . ....There is some correlation between the clothing
towns and the areas in which Quakerism flourished. The seventeenth century clothier, Zephaniah Fry,
embraced the doctrines of the new Society of Friends, with his home in Sutton Benger becoming a
centre of Quakerism... In 1727 the newly built home of Zephaniah's son John, now the Vintige Inn in
Seagry Road, was given a certificate of registration as a Quaker Meeting House. It was John's son
Joseph who moved to Bristol where he founded the Fry's Chocolate Factory...Quakers were still much
in evidence, although the Rev Davies had poor opinion of them. He provided the information that there
were about seven known Quakers in two families of low degree... As already noted above, a century
earlier the
Quakers in Sutton Benger had been leading members of the community, with wealthy clothier
Zephaniah Fry being a prominent figure in the North Wiltshire Society of Friends.... Not all the
eighteenth century Quakers here were such humble stock as the Rev Davies implied, as
Zephaniah's descendant John Fry was still active among them, and had published a book of
Selected poems containing Religious Epistles etc. which was prefaced "Sutton Benger 25
March 1774"...
2003...28 June ...Whilst on holiday, Jackie & I visit Ilchester, a tiny Town, which, for 500 years
was the County Town of Somerset. We visited the Museum and found details of the Jail that had
been there, until it was demolished about 1846. The only sign of the Prison now is the long wall
that fronts onto the river. We are awaiting any details from the Curator of the Museum.
2003...18 September...at FRC...found Original Marriage Entry.
2003...18 September...On a visit to the FRC...we find a Marriage of a George Grant & Ann
Sparrow that Zephaniah & Jane were Witnesses to, dated 6th July 1697. We have taken a

Chocolate Maker / Accession Number/ AN 27041018/ M0003610AN/ B20853 / The Biography of
Marion Fry Pease, [48 Pages],
.............It says on page 1 & 2 ...Zephaniah married Jane Smith in 1686, of whom I know nothing.
They had eight children, four sons and four daughters. Their youngest son, John (1701-1775)
thus describes their home in "the little village" of Sutton Benger "quite in the country", as it still is:-
"Here first I breathed and so became the

care Of an industrious, frugal, pious pair;
And providence, propitious, deigned to bless
Their outward labours with deserved success."
Zephaniah was, as was his father before him, engaged in the cloth trade. A letter to his
son, John, then an apprentice in London, dated 1717, speaks of sending worsted yarn with
which he is to "desire thy Aunt to knit thy hosen".
We are descended from this John, the youngest of the four sons, born in 1701. He wrote
and published several little books of verse and, in one, records autobiographical details. He
writes that "when suitable (say at 13 or 14) I was removed from home" and "planted in the great
metropolis", where he often wanted the advice and help of his parents "amidst the hurries and
the strife of trade, I found myself alone "deprived of outward help, no counsellor at hand". He
then turned for help to "his parents' God" and realised that he must leave London. He seems to
have done this on his marriage with Mary Storrs in 1726, when he was only 25; yet in some
verses entitled "A Resolution Realized" written some years before this date he describes himself
as "blest in his present condition", not wishing either for riches or "for more business because of
its cares", but intending to use thankfully "what the bounty of heaven has furnished as needful,
not sparingly given". One wonders how this youth of, say 22 or 23, could have made sufficient
savings on which to live simply for the rest of his life. There is no indication of the nature of his
business. The dates seem to be about 1715 to 1726 - almost exactly those of the unquiet years
of the reign of George 1st. In 1720-21 London was distracted by the South Sea Bubble. Did John
Fry speculate successfully in the shares? Many Quakers, it is recorded, managed to lose their
money in it! (N.B. I am informed that in the 18th Century it was quite common for a man to take
shares in a ship and, if the voyage proved successful, to find himself suddenly a rich man.)
So in 1726, when he was 25, he could contemplate marriage with Mary Storrs, daughter
of Joseph Storrs of Chesterfield, and build a small house in Sutton Benger. It still stands, with
their initials "J.M.F." and the date, 1726, over what was the door. He tells us how he "retired from
trade to a still, quiet life" "withonly one servant, myself and my wife, to a rural, convenient and
good habitation.
"And what time I don't in my duty employ, With

my garden, my books and my pen I enjoy,
Save in rides and in walks; and I then contemplate,
How seldom such favours are known by the great."
So John and Mary, at 25 and 23, settled down, as they hoped, to life-long "peace and content".
But who was Mary Storrs?
My cousin, Gervase Ford of Leeds, sent me recently some family records and among
them I found a number of letters copied by his mother, Elizabeth Storrs Walker. These letters are
from Brooklyn, New York, U.S.A., and are dated January 26th 1863. From them it appears that
one, Samuel Storrs of Sutton, in Nottinghamshire, son of Thomas Storrs of Sutton, near
Mansfield, emigrated to America in 1683, and named the Settlement which he founded in
Connecticut "Mansfield". All the bearers of the name in America trace their descent to him, and
they all hold a family tradition that they are descended from a Philip du Storrs who came to
England with the Conqueror in 1066 and was Provider or Taster or Keeper of Stores to the King.
Some of these American Storrs came to England in the 1870's, traced their ancestors to the
district between Mansfield and Sheffield, and made enquiries of the Herald's Office in England,
which confirmed the tradition "All of the name of Storrs are descended from Philip du Storrs who
came to England with the Conqueror." The estate of Storrs Hall, near Windermere in Lancashire,
was held by the family for centuries, but has died out. However, the evidence seems clear that a
branch migrated to Nottinghamshire. The American visitors found a tablet in the church at Sutton,
near Mansfield, to the memory of Cordell Storrs, 1698. This name, in the form "Cordial Storrs" re-
appears in the Connecticut family several times. Elizabeth Storrs Walker adds a pedigree
showing her descent from a Cordell Storrs. His son, William Storrs of Chesterfield, born in 1638,
must have become a convert to Quakerism. He had several children - a son, Joseph Storrs, born
1670, whose daughter Mary, born 1703, married John Fry of Sutton Benger in 1726; and another
son, John Storrs, is the ancestor of Elizabeth Storrs Ford (nee Walker).
So Mary, in her quiet home in Wiltshire, could claim an interesting descent, and handed
on the names of her father, Joseph, for four generations.
Four sons were born to John and Mary Fry between 1728 and 1737.
It is sad to relate that the happiness they anticipated was, it seems, not fully achieved.
John Fry laboured in the unpaid ministry of the Society of Friends, and he must have taken an
active part in its business for he was four times Clerk to London Yearly Meeting, in 1746, 1751
and 1756.
The yearly meting, which has been held in London each year for some 250 years, is the
highest authority in the Society - representing all the "particular" meetings; but also attended by any
members who wish to be present. The Clerk is both Chairman and Secretary. No vote is ever taken
but the Clerk sums up the "sense of the meeting" in minutes which he reads aloud. They are not
recorded till it is clear they accord with the "weight" of the meeting - a slow but very effective manner
of conducting business. The Clerk must obviously be a person of exceptional ability. John Fry would
have rejoiced to know that his great, great grandson, Joseph Storrs Fry (1826-1913), held the office
thirteen times - a longer record than that of any Friend in the history of the society.
But a poem, dated 1764, speaks of much discouragement:-
"Thus having laboured nearly forty years,

Yet to the church smalle benefit occure" ..
"With peace I can't from labouring refrain,
But leave the event and faithful hope to be
Till death shall terminate the work and me."
The poem is addressed to a friend and he goes on:-
"Consider first my inward tribulations My

outward trials next and provocations My
native heat of temper - how inclined Unto
an active, lively, busy mind.
Each soul knows best its inward bitterness
And sees the cause of all its own distress."
In the second half of the 18th Century the Society of Friends was affected by the
prevalent dryness of religious thought, numbers were falling, few new converts were made. Many
were influenced by the deism of the day, and those who were faithful were, for the most part,
quietists, whose religion was a personal matter, not to be spoken of, while they laid stress on
outward customs, peculiarities of dress, language and behaviour. The enthusiasm of the 17th
Century had died out.
It seems possible that John Fry's lively mind inclined him to doubt. He himself described his
ministry as giving advice, cautions, information. I have found in his verses no allusions to Christ, the
Evangelical revival which was to transform the Society in the 19th Century was not yet.
One source of disappointment was that three of his four sons moved to London or
Bristol, cities "where I could no freedom find nor there reside with any peace of mind."
Of Joseph, the oldest, I will write fully. William Storrs, the second son, born in 1736,
went to London, became and Tea and Spice merchant and banker, with great warehouses in
Mildred Court in the city, and, before his elder son. Joseph, married Elizabeth Gurney of
Earlham in 1800, had moved to Plashot, the beautiful estate in West Ham which was, on his
death, to become the home of Joseph and Elizabeth Fry. It is now built over. The youngest son,
Cornelius, was in business in Bristol, I believe in Mary-le-Port Street. Daughters of his married
into the Ash and Ball families.
Their father was not able to enjoy their successful careers. In a poem "to his Children
written in the 75th year of his age" (they were then almost in middle age) he warns them
against the World, the Flesh and the Devil, dwelling in neat verse on each, and then goes on:-
"There is another danger often near .. Which

is (I doubt) you are too much employed In
commerce, for true peace to be enjoyed."
After an earnest exhortation to the religious life, "Tis God alone who gives an inward
sense of all our daily wants" -
"For if luke-warmness over us prevail

The vitals of religion soon will fail."
He goes on:-
"Let all your acts be over understood

That your design alone is doing good;
And let not your intentions be confined
But move with courteous stop to all man-
kind From foolish waste and avarice refrain
But give with liberal hand your honest gain,
Avoid extremes whenever they appear And
in the middle path you'll surely steer."
These verses are dated 1775. John Fry died on September 18th of that year, and Mary only
survived him till November 17th. There are several references in the poem to that "virtuous
and religious wife."
In the character of this good man one seems to notice traits which re-appear in his
descendants - market business ability, little worldly ambition, a determination to carry out a plan
of life which satisfied the conscience, a mind rather analitical than constructive, and a self
criticism which led to a dislike of notoriety.
He speaks of "a natural heat of temper", but his was perhaps not incompatible with
an emotional coolness and inability to experience emotional piety or to convey it to others.
There is a 17th Century oak linen chest in our possession which once stood in the Sutton
Benger home.
John and Mary's son Joseph Fry, was born on June 16th 1728 at Sutton Benger. He was
apprenticed to Henry Portsmouth, M.D. of Basingstoke, but did not proceed to Edinburgh as so
many 18th Century Quakers did, to take his Degree, as it was the only University which did not
impose a religious test on its members. Perhaps John Fry's modest means prevented a
University education for this able son. Henry Portsmouth, whom a surviving common-place book
shows to have been a most systematic reader, had two daughters - the older, Anna, became the
wife of Joseph Fry. Of the younger I came across this story. James Logan, a young school-
master who went with William Penn from Bristol to Pennsylvania as his secretary in 1698 and
eventually became Deputy Governor of the Colony, had a grandson, William, who was sent to
England to study under Henry Portsmouth at Basingstoke. This youth made what is described as
"a run-away match" with the doctor's younger daughter. It is recorded in the Journal of John
Woolman, the Quaker Saint, that in 1772, when he was voyaging from America to England, he
went from the steerage to the cabin during a violent storm to calm the terror of the cabin
passengers. Among them was a young widow travelling home to England with her baby. She was
Anna Fry's sister. Her son, William Portsmouth Logan, grew up in England but died as a young
man. There is, in Philadelphia, a number of letters from Joseph and Anna Fry in the possession
of a solicitor, William Logan Fox. The Logan replies must, I think, once have been at Union
Street. Mr Fox wrote to me asking for information about them, but I failed to obtain it.
At the conclusion of his apprenticeship, about 1750, Joseph Fry set up as an apothecary
in Small Street, Bristol. He would be about 22. He was admitted a Freeman of the city in 1753.
He was generally called Dr Fry, as apothecaries often were in the 18th Century, "and his affable
and courteous manner and sound Christian principles soon secured him a large practice among
the highest class of his fellow citizens."
Dr Arthur Raistrick, of King's College, Newcastle, in his recent book "Quakers in Science
and Industry" describes Joseph Fry as a typical Friend of the period, with scholarly interests and
alert mind which linked him with many industrial interests in and around his home town -
chocolate, type-founding, china, soap boiling and chemical production. He married Anna
Portsmouth about 1754. A friend sent me lately a cutting from a Bristol newspaper of 1778. Anna
had sent to it a rhyme about Friends at the Friars Meeting House, beginning - "Fire, fire, cried
Sammy Dyer, Where, where quoth Jacob Player", and so on, rhyming on some dozen names. It
suggests a cheerful authoress.
Joseph Fry is stated to have been a good chemist for his day and this knowledge served
him in his various ventures of chocolate making, which dates from his purchase of Churchman's
patent, and grew out of his chocolate making for his patients, and in the soap boiling business.
A note in Dr Raistrick's book indicates that in 1761 the Frys were living in Narrow Wine
Street and that he, a man not yet 40, was already in partnership with Alderman Fripp in the
soap boiling firm of "Fry, Fripp & Co.", a firm which passed into the hands of Christopher
Thomas and finally, in the 20th Century, into that of Levers.
His partnership with Richard Champion - then a Quaker - was not of long duration. The
Bristol China works only ran for a few years. Perhaps when it was wound up the remaining
stock was distributed among the partners. Joseph's grandson, Francis Fry, had a fine collection
of Bristol china, some of which he inherited.
I have no note of the date at which he established his chemical works at Battersea..
Perhaps the most interesting of Joseph Fry's many ventures was the Type Founding.
He became a partner in the firm of Fry and Pine in Bristol. Pine was also a printer and printed in
Bristol four very fine editions of the Bible and Folio and Quarto from their own type.
About 1770 the business was removed to London and, after working with another firm, it became
"Joseph Fry & Son, Letter Founders to the Prince of Wales." The son was J.F.'s second son,
Edmund, who had taken a Medical Degree (presumably at Edinburgh) but did not practise
medicine, and became well known as a type founder. He made type for the oriental languages
into which the Bible Society was translating the Scriptures in the early 19th Century. I do not
know whether the printing firm of his great nephew, John Fry, derived from this. John Fry, in
partnership with his brother-in-law, Robert Barclay, invented the method of minute printings on
cheques which is so familiar today.
Joseph Fry died, after a short illness, in 1787 in his 58th year. His funeral at the Friars
Meeting House was very largely attended by his fellow citizens.
The Frys were lifelong and loyal members of the Society of Friends. I have two books
belonging to them - a copy of William Law's Letters, inscribed "Joseph Fry, Apothecary," and a
copy of the Life of Madame Guyon, the 17th Century French mystic, which belonged to Anna
Fry when she resided in Berkeley Square. These books suggest that it was the 17th Century
mysticism of the first Quakers which interested them. The evangelical revival of the 19th
Century was not yet.
The large miniature of Anna Fry, dated 1781, when she was about 50, is that of a
plain woman with a clever face and good carriage.
The silhouette of her husband is that of a plain man, with a large head, high forehead,
bob wig, a very prominent thin aquilino nose, curiously full lips and double chin.
Joseph and Anna Fry had three sons and four daughters, two of whom died as children, and
the youngest a year after her marriage. The only surviving daughter, Sarah, was unmarried and well
remembered as my grandfather's loved aunt. When Joseph Fry died in 1787 his two elder sons,
Henry and Edmund, were over 30 and already established in London. His youngest son, Joseph
Storrs Fry, was only 20 and the Bristol business descended to him. He went into partnership with his
mother, and the firm was "Anna Fry & Son" till 1795. In the following section I shall say something of
this life of my great grandfather, principally recording some family tradition
about him.
In the small portrait of him by Branwhite it is not easy to trace any resemblance to either
of his parents. The large, somewhat round forehead surrounded by neat silver-grey hair, the well
set, large grey eyes, the straight nose and small delicate mouth and chin, certainly descended to
some of his grand-children. My mother writes of him - "He was a very clever man - kind -
hospitable and generous. He had a good deal of humour and enjoyed a droll story. Though so
kind, I believe he made people, who were not pretty quick-witted, afraid of him. He had an
original mind and was very unconventional in thought and action." My mother goes on to
describe his religious attitude. He was much attracted to the Evangelical aspect of Christian
doctrine, though remaining a convinced Quaker. Records of his last days "give the impression of
a man of a very independent and real character, who disliked any sort of forced sentiment - who
would have been the last to force his thoughts and words into any conventional channel."
He inherited the business capacity of his father. In the letter addressed to the Secretary
of the Royal Society of Arts, which I have already quoted, he speaks of having resided at
Bolingbroke House, Battersea. He must have been sent there as a boy to learn chemistry at his
father's Chemical works in Battersea. He writes in 1792, when he was 25, enquiring whether the
Society continues their premium for the improvement of Cranes for Wharves. "I have a plan
which I should have put in practice before this time but my various engagements have prevented.
I have no doubt but it will answer every aim of the Society. I believe the cranes on our wharves
are as perfect as any in the country - but they have no contrivance to shift their powers, of course
they are nearly as long raising five cwt as fifty."
PART OF 39
J.S. Fry's most intimate friend was his cousin, Dr Gawen Ball. They often met and would, I have
been told, retire, after others had gone to bed, to the kitchen, there to enjoy their churchwarden
pipes over the fire and to tell and re-tell each other their old stories and familiar jokes. Two of
their rhymes, whether made up by them I do now know, were these:-
"To pay your debt be very

slow For oft it may befall
That by some lucky hit or
go, You need not pay at all."
and
"Tis a very good world that we live in,

To spend, or to lend, or to give in,
But to borrow or beg, or keep a man's own 'Tis
the very worst world that ever was known."
My other notes of J.S.F. are embodied in the following record of his wife.

Kay S Taylor...Extracts from the Book "Sutton Benger from Saxon Times to the Dawn of the 21st
Century, by Kay S. Taylor." Page 17...Religious refugees from the continent, many of whom were in
the textile industry, chose to settle in towns such as Trowbridge, Chippenham, and Bradford-on-Avon,
which were centres of the Wiltshire clothing trade. . ....There is some correlation between the clothing
towns and the areas in which Quakerism flourished. The seventeenth century clothier, Zephaniah Fry,
embraced the doctrines of the new Society of Friends, with his home in Sutton Benger becoming a
centre of Quakerism... In 1727 the newly built home of Zephaniah's son John, now the Vintige Inn in
Seagry Road, was given a certificate of registration as a Quaker Meeting House. It was John's son
Joseph who moved to Bristol where he founded the Fry's Chocolate Factory...Quakers were still much
in evidence, although the Rev Davies had poor
opinion of them. He provided the information that there were about seven known Quakers in two
families of low degree... As already noted above, a century earlier the Quakers in Sutton Benger
had been leading members of the community, with wealthy clothier Zephaniah Fry being a
prominent figure in the North Wiltshire Society of Friends.... Not all the eighteenth century
Quakers here were such humble stock as the Rev Davies implied, as Zephaniah's descendant
John Fry was still active among them, and had published a book of Selected poems containing
Religious Epistles etc. which was prefaced "Sutton Benger 25 March 1774"....

Dr. Joseph Fry
Born 16 March 1728. Died 29 March 1787
Eldest Son of John Fry, of Sutton Benger, Wiltshire.
Typefounder, and Author of 'Select Poems,'1774, 4th edition, 1793. He was educated in the
North of England, and afterwards bound apprentice to Henry Portsmouth of Basingstoke, an
eminent Doctor [Gentlemans Magazine 1787, vol. [vii. Pt. I. P. 385], whose eldest daughter,
Anna, he afterwards married.
He was the first member of his family to settle in Bristol, where he acquired a considerable
medical practice, and 'was led to take a part in many new scientific undertakings' [Hugh Owen,
Two Centuries of Ceramic Art in Bristol, 1873, page 218].
After a time he abandoned Medicine for business persuits. He helped Richard Champion in his
Bristol China Works, and began to make chocolate, having purchased Churchman's Patent
Right. The Chocolate and Cocoa manufactory thus started has been carried on by the family
down to the present day.
The success of John Baskerville caused Fry to turn his attention, in 1764, to 'Type-founding,'
and he entered into partnership with William Pine, the first printer of the 'Bristol Gazette,' who
had a large business in Wine Street.
Their new type may be traced in several works issued between 1764 and 1770. The manager of
Messrs. Fry & Pine was Isaac Moore, formerly a Whitesmith at Birmingham [E. Rowe Mores,
Dissertation upon English Typogr. Founders, 1778, page 83], after whose speedy admission to
Partnership the business was removed to London, and carried on as ' Isaac Moore & Co, in
Queen Street, near Upper Moorfields.'
Luckombe mentions Moore as one of three London Founders [History of Printing, 1770, page
244]. In 1774 the London firm produced a fine folio Bible, and in 1774-1776 a well-printed edition
in 5 volumes. About this time they somewhat abandoned their earlier Baskerville style of letter, to
follow the more popular Caslon character. In 1774 Pine printed in Bristol, a Bible in a pearl type,
asserted to be ' the smallest a Bible was ever printed with.' To all these editions notes were added
to escape the penalty of infringing the patent.
Two years later the firm became J. Fry & Co., and issued in 1777 reprints of the octavo and folio
Bibles. Pine subsequently withdrew entirely. Fry took his sons, Edmund [died 1835] and Henry,
into partnership in 1782, and bought largely at the sale of James's Foundry in that year. The
business was removed to Worship Street, where in 1785 was issued 'A Specimen of Printing
Types made by Joseph Fry & Sons, Letter-Founders and Marking Instrument Makers by the
Kings Royal Letters Patent.' In the advertisement the proprietors 'flatter themselves' that the types
which are now called new ' will mix with, and be totally unknown from, the most approved founts
made by the late ingenious artist, William Caslon,'
The next year they published another 'Specimen,' with new founts, and including seven pages of
oriental types. They now called themselves 'Letter-founders to the Prince of Wales.' Up to the time
of his death Fry was a partner with Alderman William Fripp, as Fry, Fripp, & Co., Soap Boilers.
This business is now in the hands of Christopher Thomas Brothers. Fry also had some chemical
works at Battersea, in which his son assisted him.
Fry died after a few days illness on the 29th March 1787, age 59, having retired from business a
short time before. Like his Father and Grandfather he was a member of the Society of Friends,
and was buried at the Friars, Bristol. After his death the Chocolate and Cocoa manufactory was
carried on by his widow under the style of Anna Fry & Son. The previous title had been Fry,
Vaughan & Co. In 1795 the works were removed from Newgate Street, Bristol to Union Street,
Bristol, where a Watt's Steam Engine was erected, the first in Bristol.
The son was Joseph Storrs Fry [1766- 1835], whose three sons, Joseph, Francis [1803-1866]
and Richard were subsequently joined with him as J.S. Fry & Sons, the name the firm has since
born. His widow was associated for a short time with her sons in the Type-foundry. She died at
Charterhouse Square, London, on the 22nd October 1803, age 83.

An Interesting Eighteenth Century Document.
Bristol Manufacturers Memorial.
We give below a copy of an Eighteenth Century Bristol document which may be regarded as of
unique interest, on account of the circumstances which called it forth, the official attention which
was given to it, and the extent to which, with certain parts of it, modern needs for Legislation are
anticipated in it. The Sender of the memorial [Mr Joseph Fry] was born in 1723, and he was the
Great Grandfather of the present Chairman of the eminent firm in Union Street. The memorial is
endorsed by the Lords Commissioners of his Majesty's Treasury, and it is referred to the
Commissioners of Excise for consideration and report. The full report on the memorial made by
the Commissioners of Excise is dated June 27th 1776. The memorial was as follows: -
Treas. Board Papers. 1776. Bdle. 448.
To The Right Honourable The Lords Commissioners of The Treasury.
The Humble Memorial of Joseph Fry. of Bristol, Maker of Chocolate.
Sheweth
That the trading vessels from Ireland to Wales, Bristol, and many other parts of England, bring
over very large quantities of chocolate, which is of a quality equal to much that is made in
England, and is now become greatly in repute. It is sold publickly, and even daily hawked about
the streets of Bristol, Bath, Salisbury, Worcester, and Birmingham, to the great diminution of his
trade in those and many other places.
That in a clause in a late Act concerning hawkers a penalty of ten pounds is imposed on any
person who shall hawk about tea, tho' he may have a permit with it; but Chocolate, altho' it pays
two shillings and three pence per pound excise, besides about ten shillings per hundredweight
on the Cocoa Nuts from which it is made [which is more than is paid on some sorts of Tea], is
nevertheless not included in the said Clause, which your Memorialist presumes was an
oversight, as it would certainly have been great check both to buyer and seller.
That the officers on Bristol tho' they do, or may know the Hawkers of this article, have several
times assured your Memoralist they shall not take any notice
of them, or it, in future, because they have made many seizures and at one time above five
hundred pounds weight on which they paid considerable expenses, but that they not only never
received any gratuity for making the seizure, but were never repaid the money they were
actually out of pocket for carriage to London, packages, &c.
Your Memorialist therefore with much deference proposes, that such Chocolate as may be
seized in future, and shall be condemned may be sold as Brandy is, for as much as it will yield,
and without first reserving the Duty of 2s 3d per pound, which would make the officers viligent
[sic] and active to prevent smugling.
That it appears clearly to your Memorialist and to many who have attended to the subject of this
memorial, that if one shilling or at least nine pence were to be taken from the present Excise Duty, and
instead thereof seven shillings were to be paid on every hundredweight of Cocoa Nuts, when made
into chocolate, which would be about six pence per pound on the shells they would produce, this
practice of smugling would be much diminished and the lowering the price of Chocolate would
proportionately increase the sale. As it is certain that good and beautiful Chocolate cannot be made in
warm climates, and that abroad the English chocolate is preferr'd to most if not any other sort,
doubtless very large quantities would be exported to the East and West Indies and many other places,
if a suitable Drawback were to be allowed on Exportation, which if it were to be granted and the Duty
now paid on the Importation of the Nuts were to remain, together with the above mentioned seven
shillings, and three pence per pound of the Excise Duty, it would amount to above five pence per
pound on all that should be exported, even tho' it should partly be run back into the nation again,
whereas what is now smugled pays nothing.
To avoid countenancing fraud, by leaving the stamps of Inland Duty on exported Chocolate, it
is humbly proposed that they should not be put on at all, but Devices of different kinds, for
those intended for exportation, and those to be used for home consumption.
It may perhaps not be amiss to observe to your Lordships that within about two years past
smuggling is vastly increased in Bristol, and for many miles round, by a desperate Gang of
Villains, who distribute immense Quantities of excisable Goods in those parts.
As is expected some alterations are likely to be made respecting Coffee or Tea, it is hoped
the above may properly be considered at the same time.
All which is humbly submitted to your Lordships' consideration, to make such provision therein
as may be most advantageous for securing the revenues and extending the trade.
Joseph Fry. Whitehall

Elizabeth Fry, n'ee Gurney, Born 21 May 1780. Died 12 October 1845
Prison Reformer, born at Earlham in Norfolk, was the third daughter of John Gurney, Banker in
Norwich, and member of an old Quaker Family. Her younger Brothers included Daniel Gurney
and Joseph John Gurney. Elizabeth in youth joined in social gaieties. Under the preaching and
influence of an American named Savery she became deeply imoressed by the Gospel. Her
earliest work was to visit the poor at Earlham and in Norwich, relieving the sick, and forming a
class for the instruction of the children.
At the age of twenty she married Joseph Fry who appears to have been of a much colder and
more commonplace nature than his wife. The family was large. Amid all her public labours
she never ceased to devote herself to their welfare; it was a great disapointment to her that
some of them left The Society of Friends.
Soon after her marriage she was much exercised by the question whether or not she was called
to the ministry among her people. Naturally she had an intense aversion to such a work, but on
the death of her father, when she was twenty-nine, she was constrained to take part in the public
service, and there-after experienced such 'incomings of love, joy, peace,'that she no longer
doubted, and was accordingly soon after recognised as a Minister.
She spoke with marvelous effect. The pathos of her voice was almost miraculous, and melted
alike the hardest criminals and the most impervious men of the world. Cool observers who had
witnessed the effects of her appeals in Newgate Prison could hardly describe the scene without
tears.
Her connection with prisons began practically in 1813. As a child of fifteen she had been deeply
interested in the House of Correction at Norwich, and had prevailed on her father to allow her to
visit it. At the instigation of some of her friends who had come to know of the state of things at
Newgate, and particularly of William Forster [1784-1854], she now turned her attention to the
condition of the female prisoners. The state of things was appalling. Nearly three hundred
women, with their children, were huddled together in two wards and two cells; some of them
convicted, some not yet tried, innocent and guilty, misdemeanants and fellons, all tumbled
together; without employment, without nightclothes or bedclothes, sleeping on the bare floor,
cooking and washing, eating and sleeping in the same apartment.
A tap in the prison gave them the opportunity of supplying themselves with drink. Even the
Governor was afraid to trust himself in the place, and when the Quakers were about to visit he
advised them to leave their watches behind. ' The Begging,' as she afterwards described the
scene to a Committee of the House of Commons, 'swearing, gaming, fighting, singing, dancing,
dressing up in mens clothes were too bad to be described, so that we did not think it suitable to
admit young persons with us.'
At first she tried no more than to supply the most destitute with clothes. Then she established a
school, which was very successfull. A matron was afterwards appointed. But the main cause of
reformation was her personal influence and exertions. The reading of the scriptures was a
leading part of her remedial measures, and her impressive tones and profound reverance made
a deep impression. She was the heart and soul of an association formed in 1817 for the
improvement of female prisoners in Newgate.
The effects of her labours were thus described by the American minister of the day: 'Two days
ago I saw the greatest curiosity in London, aye and in England too, compared to which
Westminster Abbey, The Tower, Somerset House, the British Museum, nay Parliament itself, sink
into utter insignifiance. I have seen Elizabeth Fry in Newgate, and I have witnessed there the
miraculous effect of true Christianity upon the most depraved of human beings. And yet the
wretched outcasts have been tamed and subdued by the Christian eloquence of Mrs. Fry '
Her success attracted the attention of all classes, including Royalty. Transported criminals were
sent in those days to New South Wales, and the voyage was performed without classification,
employment, or superintendence. At New South Wales no arrangements were made for
enabling them to earn an honest living. Mrs. Fry exerted herself greatly to induce the
government to make proper regulations for the voyage, and to provide suitable home and
proper employment for them on arriving.
She took a lively interest in the condition of other prisons besides Newgate. Sometimes
combining her work as a Minister of the Quaker Communion with her prison labours, she would
travel through the country, especially visiting places where there were prisons, ascertaining their
condition, conferring with the local authorities, making suggestions to them, and forming ladies
associations for more effectually carrying out the object.
Her visits, too, extended beyond the limits of the United Kingdom. In 1820 she corresponded with
the Princess Mestchersky of Russia; the Dowager-Empresss became deeply interested, and her
son Nicholas allowed her to convert a Royal Palace into a Palace prison. Mrs. Fry, however, did
not desire to encourage such sentimental philanthropy. In France, Louis-Philippe and his Queen
received her kindly; so did the King of Prussia and his family. At Kaiserswerth she had the most
interesting time; Fliedner owned that her example had moved him greatly; while she was
impressed, after visiting Kaiserwerth, with the impoortrance of having trained nurses to attend
the sick, and instituted an order of 'nursing sisters,' whose aid has been sought and valued by
persons of all classes.
Although prison reform was her chief work, she attended to other questions. She was much
impressed by the miseries of homeless wanderers in London during the rigorous winter of
1819-1820, and especially by the death of a poor boy who was found frozen to death on a
doorstep. A 'nightly shelter, for the homeless' was the result, soup and bread, as well as a
bed, being given to those who applied.
The scheme prospered under a committee of ladies, of whom she was the head, and they did
not limit their efforts merely to providing the night's lodging, but tried to find occupation for the
unemployed. In like manner finding Brighton to be greatly infested with beggars, she instituted a
district visiting society designed to relieve real distress, to prevent mendicity and impostute, and
encourage industry.
Observing how the members of the blockade or preventative service were exposed to dreary
idleness, she got them a supply of bibles and usefull books, and by-and by libraries were
supplied to the preventative stations. A remark on the temptations of discharged prisoners led to
the opening, by a lady who heard it, of The Royal Manor Hall Asylum.
In 1828 her husband became bankrupt, and he and his family sank from affluence to poverty. Much
suffering was entailed on others, and Mrs. Fry could no longer help the needy as she had been
accustomed to do. But she continued her duties as a Minister, in addition to all her philantropic work
and her domestic duties. She was equally at home with all ranks; at one time we find her entertaining
the King of Prussia at dinner, at another, drinking tea with a poor shoemaker who had been able to
procure but one luxury for her entertainment- a little fresh butter.
She died at Ramsgate on 12th October 1845, and was buried in the Friend's burial- ground at
Barking. Mrs. Fry was the author of; 1 'Observations on Female. Prisoners,'Lond. 1827. 2. '

2000...15 November ...
A Book 'People & Places' [Phyllis Burholt in [ November 2000 [ has been reading thus ..]
Elizabeth Fry, n'ee Gurney
Quaker & Prison Reformer. The American Ambassador said " I have seen the two Greatest
Sights in London, St Pauls Cathedral and Mrs Fry reading to the prisoners of Newgate".
Lord Byron wrote 'Oh, Mrs Fry, why go to Newgate, why? Preach to the poor rogues? And
wherefore not begin with Carlton or with other houses your hand at hardened imperial sinto
mend the peoples absurdity a jargon, a merely philantropic din unless you make theirs better I
thought you had more religion Mrs Fry, Better -Fy!
She was born a Gurney at Earlham Hall. The Gurney's were 'wide' Quakers. The women did not wear
the grey dress & bonnet nor the men the broad brimmed hat. Elizabeth, or Betsy Gurney, the fourth of
twelve children, grew up in a hous of red cloaks, purple boots, ponies, hide and seek, in the
cupboards, music, dancing to the " dear elatingfiddle, play acting, Republican sentiments and free
thinking. To some degree, Betsy was the 'odd man out', a neurotic child, afraid of the dark even in her
teens. Afraid of death and the sea- subjectto a reaccuring dream of drowning.
Her periods of depression were known to the family as 'valleys'. Of herself, She wrote in 1797 " I
am a bubble, without beauty of mind, or person. I am now 17 and if some kind and great
circumstance does not happen to me, I shall have my talents devoured by Moth and Rust"
The great and kind circumstances occurred in February 1798, when William Savery, a Quaker
Tanner from Philadelphia, arrived in Norwich on a Religious visit. He found Goats Lane Meeting
so unsympathetic that he ' expected to pass the meeting in silent suffering, but at last he was
able to speak. After spending the day with him, Elizabeth returned home and wrote in her diary "
today I have felt that there is a God".
Soon afterwards she dreamed again of the rushing sea, but she was in a safe place and it
could not reach her.
No immediate and drastric change was made in her life. She went to London, called on Mrs.
Siddons, went to the "Opera" Mrs. Twiss gave me some paint for the evening. I painted a little; I
had my hair dressed and did look pretty for me. Soon afterwards she became a 'plain' friend,
wearing a grey costume and talking to thee and thou but it was long before she found the work
of her life.
She had married a London Merchant Joseph Fry and bore him eight children before she entered
Newgate Prison for the first time in 1813. The commission was brought to her by another
American Quaker, the French Émigré', Nobleman Stephen Grellet. On a religious impulse, he
had gone to Newgate and was astonished beyond description at the mass of woe and misery
which he saw. He begged Elizabeth Fry to do something for the women.
This account of what she found is given by a compannion. " The Railing was crowded with half-
naked women struggling together for the front positions, with the most boisterous violence and
begging with the utmost vociferation. I felt as if I was going into a den of wild beasts. I recollect
quite shuddering when the door was closed upon us and we were locked in with such a herd of
novel and desperate compannions."
But in 1817 Rev. C.B.Taylor had a different story to tell. " I was present when she read a portion
of the word of God to the women. There they sat in respectful silence, every eye fixed upon the
grave sweet countanance of the gentle lady who was about to address them- never till then and
never since then have I heard anyone read as did Elizabeth Fry that chapter".
An enquirer asked her method " I never refer to their past. We have all sinned and come short".
Elizabeth Fry's aims in Prison Reform included separating men from women, classifying
prisoners and giving them instruction and employment and with energy, she furthered this
programme in France, Germany, Switzerland, Belguim, Holland and Denmark until her influence
spread throughout the world.
One of the energetic sociological Saints of the 19th Century, she said before her death. "Since
my Heart was touched at seventeen years old, I believe, I have never wakened from sleep,
without my first waking thought being best how I could serve the Lord"

Quaker reformers grave lost to history

By Robin Young.
Elizabeth Fry, the Quaker prison reformer who is commemorated on the new £5 note, is buried
in an unmarked grave in a grassy park in Barking, East London.
There is nothing at the site to draw attention to the fact that one of the 19th century's most
influential women is buried there. A bronze plaque noting the location was stolen from its
plinth years ago and has not been replaced.
What had been a Quaker burial ground was taken over by the Barking and Dagenham Council
in 1979. The gravestone that had been erected in Mrs Fry's honour was removed to another
Quaker Burial Ground at Wanstead, East London, but records at the Friends Meeting House
indicate that her body was not moved.
Born to a banking family in Norwich in 1780, Mrs Fry first visited Newgate prison in 1813. From
Christmas 1816, despite family difficulties [she bore 11 children], she started regular visits to
Newgate and organised the Association for the Improvement of the Female Prisoners in
Newgate.. In 1818 she became the first woman to be called to give evidence to a committee of
the House of Commons.
An early champion of women's rights and strong opponent of the Death Penalty, she was so
well known that she received support from Queen Victoria, and the King of Prussia visited her to
learn about the work.
This did not save her from suffering humiliation when in 1828 her husband's bank crashed.
Thanks to her brother, her husband's debts were repaid and Mrs Fry received an annual
stipend that enabled her to continue her work.
There is a statue of Mrs Fry at the Old Bailey, and a bas relief at Wormwood Scrubs prison.
There is also a bust in East Ham Town Hall and a plaque opposite Mansion House in the City
of London, at the site of one of her homes.

Captain Cook's childhood home to be sold

By John Naish and Helen Stud
A NORTH YORKSHIRE estate that was once home to Captain Cook and the prison reformer
Elizabeth Fry has been put up for sale now that the Fry family's bloodline has now come to an
end. The 750-acre estate, which belonged to the Quaker family that became renowned for the
manufacture of chocolate , is to be split into several smaller plots under the auctioneer's hammer
next month.
The estate was bought by the Fry family at the turn of the 19th century as Elizabeth Fry
was beginning her lifelong efforts to improve conditions for jailed women.
After her death, Sir Theodore Fry, Mayor of Darlington and a liberal MP in the late1800's, also
lived on the estate.
The property has attracted strong interest from potential buyers, according to Richard Murray
Wells, of Smith Gore estate agents. The sale is expected to take the form of sealed bids with a
deadline for best and final offers set for the middle of July.
Part of the Roseberry estate which is situated on the edge of the North York Moors national
Park, has been donated to the National Trust, but the remaining farm buildings are expected to
fetch more than £1 million.
The real PRIZE IS CONSIDERED TO BE Aireyholme Farm, a farmhouse set in 282 acres.
Cook lived there in a tied cottage until he was 16.
Cook was later credited with the discovery of the east coast of Australia. In his three epic
voyages he discovered more of the Earth's surface than any other explorer of the 18th century
and was equally acclaimed as a scientist, cartographer and surveyor.
The property, which includes outhouses, is expected to be sold separately from the rest of
the estate, with an asking price of £290.000

DR. EDMUND FRY. Born 1754. Died 22nd December 1835 Second Son of Dr. Joseph Fry [1728-1787]
Type-Founder; Was born at Bristol in 1754. He studied medicine; took the degree of M.D. at
Edinburgh, and spent some time at St. George's Hospital, London.
In 1782 his Father admitted his two sons, Edmund and Henry, as Partners in the Type-Foundry
Business in Queen Street, London. The Father retired in 1787, when the new firm, Edmund Fry & Co,
issued their first 'Specimen of Printing Types,' followed the next year by an enlarged edition. Fry cut
several Founts of the original type, which fill twelve pages. In 1788 the printing business was
separated from the foundry, and remained at Worship Street, as the ' Cicero Press,' under the
management of Henry Fry.
The foundry was removed to a place opposite Bunhill Fields in Chiswell Street, and new works erected
in a Street then called 'Type Street'. Homer's series of the classics [1789-1794], printed by Millar
Ritchie were from the characters of the Type Street foundry. In 1793 'Edmund Fry & Co; letter founders
to the Prince of Wales,' produced a 'Specimen of Metal-cast Ornaments curiously adjusted to paper,'
which gained vogue among printers.
The next year Fry took Isaac Steel into partnership, and published a ' Specimen' which ' shows a
marked advance on its predecessors' [T.B. Reed, Old English Letter Foundries, p.306]
In 1798 he circulated a 'Prospectus' of the great work on which he had been occupied for sixteen years,
published as ' Pantographia, containing accurate Copies of all the known Alphabets of the
World, together with an English explanation of the peculiar Force of Power of each Letter, to
which are added Specimens of all well- authenticated Oral Languages, forming a
Comprehensive Digest of Phonology,' 1799,
The volume contains eighteen varieties of the Chaldee and thirty-two of the Greek. Fry
expressly cut many of the characters for his book. On the admission of George Knowles in
1799, the firm took the name of Fry, Steele, & Co. At the commencement of the present century
the modern-faced type supplanted the old-faced. 'Specimens of modern cut printing typ-es
from the foundry of Messrs. Fry & Steele' are given in
C. Stower's 'Printers Grammar,' 1808.
About this time Fry reassumed sole management of the business. In 1816 a 'Specimen of
Printing Types by Edmund Fry, Letter Founder to the King and Prince Regent,' was published.
The firm soon after became Edmund Fry & Son, on the admission of his son Windover. Fry cut
several founts of Oriental types for the University of Cambridge, The British and Foreign Bible
Society, and other bodies. In a 'Specimen' printed in 1824 the name is changed back to 'Edmund
Fry' at ' the Polyglot Foundry.'
In 1828 he endevoured to dispose of the business, and issued a descriptive circular [see Reed,
pp. 310-312]. It was purchased by William Thorowgood of Fann Street, and the stock removed in
1829. It has since been in the hands of Thorowgood & Besley, then R. Besley & Co., and now Sir
Charles Reed & Sons.
In 1833 twenty designs for raised type for the blind were submitted to the Royal Scottish Society
of Arts, who had offered a prize for the best example. Among them was one from Fry, to whom
the Gold Medal was awarded a couple of years after his death [Transactions, 1837,], which took
place at Dalby Terrace, City Road, London, at the age of eighty-one, on December 1835.
Fry was one of the most learned of the English typefounders, but retired with a very small
competence. He was a member of the Company of Stationers. He was married twice: first to
Jenny, daughter of Nicholas Windover, of Stockbridge, Hampshire, of whose issue one son
only survived, Windover Fry [1797-1835]; secondly to Ann Hancock, by whom he had a son,
Arthur [1809-1878].
A portrait of Fry, painted by Frede'rique Boileau, was shown at the Caxton Exhibition in 1877
[Catalogue, p.336]. A Silouette has been reproduced by Reed [letter Foundries, p.298] and
Fry [Memoir, p.16].

Broughton Gifford, Nr Melksham, Wilts, son of Joseph and Betty. Wilts say Robert Fry is the
ONLY Robert Fry baptized there.
8/9/1998...Telephoned Revd.Hogarth, 8, Church St, Beckington, Bath, Somerset, BA3 6TG,

Phone 01373-830314. Somerset Archives told me he is the keeper of the Registers of Lullington.
He was very helpful, and arranged to take us to the church at Lullington.
11/9/1998...Revd. Alan Hogarth took us through Beckington, a small village of only a hundred or
so residents and he told us that this used to be a very prosperous village in the 18th century
involved in the "Production of Cloth", and pointed out some very grand houses of the period
where the wealthy traders lived. This was interesting because Roberts Occupation [detailed on
his son Thomas's Marriage Certificate] is 'Clothier'. Beckington was on the important 'Trade Road'
of the time and lies 5 miles south of Trowbridge and 3 miles north of Frome. Half a mile north is
the village of 'Rode' where son Thomas says he was born, and the 'Unnamed Child of Robert and
Mary is buried as per the Rode Parish Register [1805-1812]. Lullington is about 3/4 mile SW of
Beckington.
Lullington, Somerset...We arrive in this very tiny village and park outside All Saints Church, which
is about 100 yards from the Square, the Centre of which stands the covered Water Pump. The
entrance is through a covered gate and a pathway leads to the Centre of the church. The grounds
are extremely well tended and on the left are a few graves covered with fresh flowers. These
graves are less than 50 years old and are obviously looked after on a regular basis. The Fabric of
the church is in very good order and the guttering and downpipes are dated 1872. We are led
round the church past the doorway to the North Doorway. This is not used now and is the oldest
part of the church which was built between 1070-1100. On entering, the first item seen is the
large font which has a Latin inscription. [Further details of the Church, see leaflet.] Revd. Hogarth
took us to the vestry and got the registers from the safe. Immediately we found more children of
Robert & Mary of Lullington, in the Baptism Register, ie. Henry, Henry Pearce and Isaac that we
did not know of. We see the Burial Register and find Henry and Samual. There is no more
mention of Robert & Mary's family after 1818 in any register up to 1850.
Other 'Fry' entries are: Baptism's..1816..June 22..Page 3 entry no 23...Ann, Daughter of George
& Eleanor Fry of Lullington. [we have opened a separate Family file for them]
1826...July 30 entry no 79...Samual James, son of William & Sarah Fry of Lullington, Fathers
Profession is ' Manufacturary' & 1831...November 28, entry no 97, William Henry, son of William &
Sarah Fry of Lullington, profession ' Labourer'. [we have opened a separate Family file for them]
Is George , one of Robert's Brothers from Broughton Gifford.???

Mr Peter Weeks, the Squire of the village from the farm next to the church gave us a potted
history of Lullington and said he has the only farm around that still employs 'Estate Workers
Village was bought in 1810-1820 by a Mr Cox , a Banker and Lord Bath was a Patron for 2-300
years. The Last patron was a 'Duckworth' who died about 10 years ago. The inside of the church
is full of plaques commemorating various 'Duckworths' from the 1800's. William Duckworth
restored the Church in 1862. We were shown the very Rare Silver Chalice made in 1562.
We were told there was a big fire in the village when most houses were burned down and destroyed
probably because all the roofs were thatched. Only some belongings were saved. There was no
water in the village and it was a small distance to the Cloth Mill nearest the river for the water. This
Mill and another nearby , together with the farms provided the local employment. Where the main
Wool Mill stood next to the river now is a huge Dairy Factory and employs people from miles around.
A History of Lullington and Orchard Lees is being written by a Michael Mc Garvie, 19 Styles Hill,
Frome, Somerset, and hopes it will be produced in the next year or so.
11/9/1998...We visited the Church at Broughton Gifford, Nr. Melksham. This is a very imposing
building on a hill in the lower end of the village . It was locked. The Churchyard was very well
kept and there are dozens of old gravestones non of which could we find a 'Fry'. The churchyard
is in two halves, separated by the road which despite being a country lane, is extremely busy.
The detached part of the yard is all 'Modern Graves' and still in use. A Plack inside the porchway
commemorates the 1914/18 war and a 'Fry ' of the 14th Hussars amongst those of the village
who died. We had very limited time here and took several photo's. The Church warden is Mr.
David Chandler, Jasmine Cottage, Broughton Gifford. Phone 782241: The Revd. Ron Hart, The
Rectory, Holt, Phone 782289.
11/9/1998...email to Bernard Welshman...Please try to find Robert & Mary on Somt.

15/11/98...Wrote to Michael McGarvie in Frome...Can you tell us anything,???
23.11.98...Phoned Frome Local History Library...01373-471336...They will send some copy.
Population of Lullington was ..[1801...157], [1811..178,] [1821..224], [1840..145]. there were 37

houses & 39 families [25 in Agriculture & there was 791 Acres of land. There was a Murder
there, Source Frome Local History Library 23.11.1998
25/11/1998...reply from Michael McGarvie....Wonderful Information !! He writes thus..." "I've come

across the Fry's certainly. I expect you know that Robert Fry went Bankrupt in 1809. I believe there
was a notice in the Salisbury & Winchester Journal. I think the Original Fry's came from Bristol, not
then having the Mill but a property called 'James's Batch', later merely The Batch. Robert Fry &
Thomas Jones, of Bristol, Wool-Staplers, Clothiers & Woollen Drapers, took the premises in 1779, a
close of meadow lately converted into an Orchard with a tenement thereon erected" .
... "In 1783, Fry & Jones assigned the premises to Zephania Fry, of Bristol, Clothier.
Fry conveyed to William Pryor in 1785" ..
... "In 1808, Francis Pryor, Spinster of Lullington conveyed James's Batch to Robert Fry
of Road, Somerset, Spinner Frytook out a Mortgage of £800 with a Frome Banker John Douglas
Middleton [a descendant lives in Road]. The premises now included a factory and workshop,
lately erected" "Fry. also appears to have become Undertenant to a Mr Grant at Lullington Mill
and no doubt overstretched himself ..Fryappears in the Mortgages until 1814. When he went
bankrupt, the workshops at James's Batch were unfinished and his machinery was offered for
sale together with the unexpired lease of the Mill".
He sends 1818 map of Lullington which shows 'James's Batch' [97a] and this appears to be
next door to the 'Mill House Garden' Jackie & I were shown by Alan Hogarth. He also sent the
'For Auction' poster for Lullington Mill in 1855.
1998...26 November... Information from Michael McGarvie puts Doubt of Birthplace of Robert as
Broughton Gifford.
26/11/1998...FRC...Have checked entire 1841 & 1851 Census for Lullington. ONLY Samuel
15, Sarah, Mary & Rosea are listed on the '41' ref HO107/942 page15. Also there are NO

22/2/1999...wrote to Sam Coombs. She advertised in 'SDFHS Greenwood Tree' wanting info
re 'Rode'.
24/2/1999...Sam Coombs replies with photo of page 183 of a book by Kenneth Rogers "Wiltshire
& Somerset Woolen Mills, published by Pasold Research Fund 1976 ref ISBN 0 903859 068
[about £8.50]
It says " Lullington Mill. This Mill was among those to which inspectors of medley broad cloth
were appointed in 1727. No more is known of it till 1803, when it was the property of John
Renison, a Bradford Clothier, and R.E. Willmot and was offered to let. It was described as a
factory with two floors 59ft x 20 ft, with two fulling stocks and capable of driving eight or twelve
engines , and had been built four years previously."
"The new lessee was James Grant, fuller, at a rent of £130. Grant must have underlet to a
clothier named ROBERT FRY, who was bankrupt in1809. His machinery was offered for sale
with the un-expired lease of the mill with workshops over and a small factory adjoining. He also
owned a house in the village of Lullington in the garden of which he had erected a building
intended for factory, but then unfinished."
"Grant appears to have occupied the mill for some years; later occupiers included John Cuzner
c1820, James Stancomb and John Morgan who insured the water - driven scribbling mill in 1825,
Richard Scammell c.1830, and James Moore, 1844. In 1838 it was driven by wheels of 10 h.p
and 7h.p and employed thirty hands. But it was only called a fulling mill in the Occupation of
Thomas Marks, when in 1835 an undivided share in it amounting to three-fourths, half of the
remaining fourth, and one third of one eighth of ther same remaining fourth, was offered for sale.
Readers will readily see that the amount 85/96 of the whole. Later in the nineteenth century it
was a sawmill. The mill has been reduced to a single-storey building, of five bays with a two-bay
later extension, perhaps the small factory of c. 1799. It is of stone rubble with stone windows of
standard design. The wheel of breast shot. There are no remains of the building in Lullington,
which stood a short distance south of the church. "

been divided into two cottages is very large and the garden drops steeply down to the river and
flood plain area. There was no sign of the workshops but over the years the stone and rubble
used to build same would have been used for something else. Peter Weeks also showed us his
saw mill building belonging to Mill House which he owns. He said we should ask at Longleate
about previous buildings and layouts as they may well have details in their Archives. He had also
spoken to Michael Mc Garvie who also advised same.

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
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

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

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.

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
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.

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 1956 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

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
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.

Quotes from the Book 'Sir Edward Fry, by his daughter Agnes: Page 13 'Francis Fry took
a principal part in the introduction of the Railways to the West of England'.
============================================================
****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. 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. John Fry, son
of John Doyle Fry, the last chairman who was a member of the Fry family, retired in 1936 and
Barclay & Fry, Ltd. Is continued as a branch of the Metal Box Co.,Ltd., [1] but is engaged in all
the same processes as when under the old management.
[1] Robert Barclay of Reigate, the son of John Barclay of London and grandson of Robert
Barclay of Clapham Common, had married in1857 Sarah Matilda, sister of his Partner Fry.
=========================================================
2001...20 June...According to the Notes of John P. Fry about The Pedigree of the Family of Fry,
he writes that " Mr Francis Fry, FSA [1803-1886] had in his possession a pedigree of his family
compiled by the late Mr. Edmund Hogg Fry, containing the following note, " John Fry of Sutton
Benger [1701-1775], had a parchment in his possession with these coat of arms emblazoned
and signed by the Clarencieux King of Arms, which he affirmed had been in his family some
generations. 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". "The practice of ordering such
services fron China was fashionable at the time and many are in The British Museum". We have
a copy of these notes to hand, taken from Bristol Records Office , ref 38538/12/1

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

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

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
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].
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.
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
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

rang for matins in Highgate the Fry carriage was ready to take the family to Meetings in St.
Martins Lane, Westminster. The faces the children saw on sunday were different from those met
in their daily walks'....
..In 1877 Mariabella announced to the Family that their Father had been made a Judge [and his
income was to be halved to a 'miserable' £5000 per anum]...
..In 1887...The Family moved to Bayswater, and the house overlooked the Broad Walk and
Kensington Gardens. A walk through Hyde Park to a point where Sir Edward could hail a cab to
the Law Courts
...1892...After 15 years on the bench...Retirement to Failand, and it was two hundred acres
sloping towards Portishead and the Bristol Channel.
2001...11 March...Jackie , Nina & Zach have given me a First Edition of Agnes's Book 'A
Memoir' of Sir Edward Fry, her Father, printed in 1921.
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.
from above...In 1877... Mariabella announced to the Family that their Father had been made
a Judge [and his income was to be halved to a 'miserable' £5000 per anum]...
2001...19/20 June...Jackie and I visit St. Bartholamews Church, Lower Failand, Somerset and
find the Grave of Sir and Lady Fry and theiir Daughters Mariabella and Agnes. 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.
We also visited Bristol Records Office and are told that details of this house and the Fry Family are
at Somerset Records Office at Taunton.
2001...15 July...check with Taunton if they have records of Failand Estate. No they Don't.
2006...26 february...Dear Mr Fry,
Thank you for your email. I have copied the Who's Who extract about Sir Edward Fry below.
Other than that, it mentions that he was a member of Lincoln's Inn and so I would suggest you

Sir Edward Fry and Mariabella Hodgkin had the following children:
1. EDWARD PORTSMOUTH13 FRY was born on 19 May 1860 (5, The Grove, Highgate, London).
He died about Dec 1927 in Axbridge Area. He married Francis May, daughter of F.w. May, in
1895 in Frome, Somerset. She was born in 1846 (Frome, Somerset). She died in 1928.

...........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 "life-long illness". [See page 62]

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
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.
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
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.

2001...15 February...Reply from The Keeper of the College Pictures,

Somerville,..They do have a portrait of Margery hanging in the Dining Room.
They will write again when they have more info.
...'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 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.

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.

to register for himself a new coat. In consideration, however, of his strong presumptive claim to
use the old one , the new coat registered was the old one with a slight "difference", viz., Per foose

Notes for John Doyle Fry:
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. 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. John Fry, son
of John Doyle Fry, the last chairman who was a member of the Fry family, retired in 1936 and
Barclay & Fry, Ltd. Is continued as a branch of the Metal Box Co.,Ltd., [1] but is engaged in all
the same processes as when under the old management.
[1] Robert Barclay of Reigate, the son of John Barclay of London and grandson of Robert
Barclay of Clapham Common, had married in1857 Sarah Matilda, sister of his Partner Fry.

of 4, High Street, Hastings. His father is John Henry Etheridge, Gentleman who
we know is a Banker.
Jackie has checked the Marriage Registers and say's the name Etheridge is
very common and may be difficult to follow.
1998...10 July... I telephoned the Parish Priest and he said he would

willingly provide a copy of the Marriage certificate.
1998...11July...We visit the church and the Parish Priest Fr. Daly has the
certificate ready. He tells us that the church was built by a Painter / Artist to
commemorate his wife. We noticed that there was a notice board celebrating the
Centenery of the church in 1983, and it lists all the Parish Priests since the church
opened in 1883. The Marriage was one of the first held there and is listed on page
3 of the Register. The Priest who carried out the service did not become the PP
until about 20 years later. We are told that all the priests come from the same
Order now as they did in 1883. This is 'The Pallatines' from St. Peters, Hatton
Garden from the Society of the Catholic Apostle. The founder St. Vincent Pallotti.
1998...13 July...We visit Hastings Referance Library but can find no trace of
Edith Fry or Herbert on the 1881 Census. We looked at 'The Hastings and St

listing of marriage on the front page or mention in the following week.

likely.

2002...2 December...I Realise at Elizabeth's 40th Annivery, that the painting of the 'Flower Girl' she has,
was painted by 'Kate'. The original was painted by William Logsdail in 1888. This painting has to be
almost 100 years old because Kate died in 1905.
2003...24 February...A copy of the above Painting was shown in the 'Family History Monthly Magazine ,
in December 2002'. A scanned copy is in the file.

2002...16 November...Letter from Joan Fry in Mandurah, Western Australia also sends us part of
a booklet called 'The Fry's of Shenfield & Crendon' celebrating the Fry's Centenery in Australia,
in 1994. The 'Generations List' shows the following on page 5...
The "Crendon Frys"
John and Mary Fry had their first son on Dec. 23 l9l7 and named him Philip Gurney Fry (Phillip)
A second son George Leake Fry (Geordie) arrived in l9l9. Their first daughter, Elizabeth Fry
(EO) was born in l92l, closely followed by another daughter, Rachel Gurney Fry (Rachel0 in
l922. Four years later Joh Michael Partridge Fry (Michael) was born, and their last child, a son,
was born in l932 and name Timothy Clifton Fry (Tim).
Everyone helped on the farm. The children were encouraged to learn all aspects of farming
from milking to growing vegetables. They often had several animals as pets and were
encouraged to take responsibility for raising their own calf. Calf Clubs usually attached to
schools in the area, organised field days, where parades, judging of the best calves, and other
agricultural activities were held. The young Club members acted as junior stewards at the
District Agricultural Shows. The Junior Farmers' movement followed on from the Calf Clubs.
The house on "Crendon" was extended to provide extra bedrooms and a large building to the
rear was built which was named the Nursery.
John helped Mary with the household chores and was the "breadmaker" of the family. He mixed
the dough for baking. All the cooking was done on a large wood stove with two large ovens and
a hob on the side. A big cauldron at the back kept a ready supply of hot water.
For his first year of schooling Philip was taught at home by correspondence lessons but the next
year l926, his brother George was old enough to go to school and both boys were enroled in
Donny brook State School. In l93O an assisted school was opened at 'Crendon'
Many children lived too far out of town to attend the State School and so country families with
school-aged children were given the option of opening their own small school which was used
by the children of nearby families. These schools were referred to as "assisted" schools and the
cost of hiring the teacher was jointly met by the families and the State Government.
For the first few weeks after the school opened it was held in the "Crendon" nursery but later an
old workman's cottage, known as Scott's cottage, was renovated. The cottage's two small rooms
were made into a larger one and the old newspaper which was covering the walls was stripped
off and replaced with wallpaper. There was an open fireplace for heating the building in winter.
The first teacher to arrive was Miss Annie Henry and she was provided with room and board
at 'Crendon", in the house with the Fry family.
Six children attended the 'Crendon School' in the first year. They were Geordie, Elizabeth and
Rachel Fry; Jim Robertson (who was the son of the workman employed at 'Crendon'; Lester
and Len Trigwell.
Miss Henry, the teacher, resigned in l932 immediately after Mary returned from Perth having
given birth to Tim, saying she "could not possibly live in a house with a baby". The next teacher
to arrive was Miss Hazel Crabbe who stayed twelve months and left to get married.
Jean Lawrie was the teacher who took over the school in l935 and Miss Doris Hotchin came in
l936. That year the school was moved to Englishfield, and are closeby. The Fry family of
Crendon continued to provide the teacher's accommodation and Miss Hotchin rode her bicycle to
the school each day.
Life was busy for John and Mary Fry but they both found time to involve themselves in
the community and they were members of various committees.
Mary was a very good pianist. She could sight read music and during the l93Os and 4Os she
would play to the family every Sunday night. She would also play each Christmas morning and
the family would sing carols together.
The family got their first radio in l933. It was a Batty Phone and was operated from a six volt
battery and set of three forty-five volt dry cells, as the State's Electricity system was not
connected to the farm until the late l95Os. One of Mary's favourite programs on the radio was the
serial "Blue Hills" which was broadcast at lpm each day.
Late in l935 John became ill. His health deteriorated over the next few months and he died in
March l936. That year was a very difficult time for the family as a few months after John died,
young Rachel became pregnant and at the end of the year Michael had a serious accident.
In l936 both Rachel and Elizabeth were attending Perth College. When it became obvious Rachel,
aged fourteen, was pregnant, Mary travelled up to Perth to be with her and arranged that she spend
the rest of her pregnancy in the Salvation Army Hostel until her baby was born. Rachel's daughter
was born on September l5th and arrangements were made for her to be adopted.
Postscript. Rachel has since relocated her daughter. She made contact with Joy in l989 and
has discovered she is grandmother to another two children, Faye and Alison. Joy and Rachel
exchange letters and visit each other regularly.
A few weeks after Rachel had her baby, Michael aged lO years old, had a serious accident. He
ran in front of the farm's hay mower and his feet and ankles were badly cut. Philip and Mary drove
him to Perth on a mattress in the back of the ute where he was treated by Dr. Ainslie, a surgeon
of Mount St.
Hospital. Luckily his feet were saved, but it took many months before he could walk again.
On September, 3 l939, at around 8.45pm the Prime Minister of Australia announced over the
radio.......
Fellow Australians, it is my melancholy duty to inform you officially that, in

consequence of a persistence by Germany in her invasion of Poland, Great Britain has
declared war upon her and that as a result, Australia is also at war.
Over the next few months Philip and Geordie both enlisted for active service, but Philip was
manpowered out of active service to run the farm. Elizabeth was working away as a teacher.
Rachel left school to return to 'Crendon' and help on the farm and Michael and Tim continued
their education.
The War officially ended September, 2nd, l945.

2001...20 June...At Bristol Records Office under Ref 38538/12/1 we found ' Notes concerning The
Pedigree of The Family of Fry'. We have a copy of same.
Transcript of "Notes" on The Pedigree of the Family of Fry,
by Sir John Pease Fry. Second Great Grandson of Dr. Joseph Fry
These notes were written by Sir John Pease Fry of Cleveland Lodge, Great Ayton, Middlesborough in
June 1906. He was our Fifth Cousin Three Times Removed.
The Original of these notes were found by Jackie & David on the 20th June 2001 in the Archives of
Messrs. J.S. Fry & Sons, Chocolate Makers of Bristol, which are kept in the Bristol Records Office under
the Ref. 38538/12/1 and are marked " Not to be removed from Library".
Notes
This pedigree of the Fry family, carefully compiled from original sources has now been exactly verified by the
College of Arms, under the supervision of C. H. Athill, Esquire, Richmond Herald, and with the exception of a
few names distinguished by the mark [*] has been registered and recorded for the use of future generations.
That the Frys were settled in and around Malmesbury and Corston in the County of Wilts at a very early period
is undoubted and proved by numerous church monuments and entries in various documents. The name is
variously represented in medieval rolls by le Frye or le Frie, and later by Frye or Frie. One Galfridus le Frye
appears in the Wiltshire Hundred Rolls temp Henry 111., a John and Richard le Frye and a William le Frie in
that of Edward 1., and the name occurs frequently in the County records of a later date. It has however, been
found impossible to prove beyond doubt the exact descent of any generations prior to those
shewn in the Pedigree.
It has long been traditionally supposed that the family was of Norman origin and derived its name from
the village of Fry in Normandy, situated about thirty miles north-west of Rouen, and close to the town
of Gournay-en-Bray, the reputed home of the Gurney family. There seems , however , no other
evidence in favour of this tradition, and it has been pointed out that had this been the case the early
form of the name would probably have appeared as de Fry and not le Fry. Such a family no doubt
existed, and a Nicholas de Fry appears to have been the subject of some enquiries made by Edward
1. in Lincolnshire; and the name spelt in one word still exists in England.
But the family of Fry is almost certainly of Saxon origin and the name, or nickname, signifies
the "freeman", and is a Saxon or English word.
How anxious, says Mr. Bardsley in his well known work on English surnames, those Saxon
husbandman were who had been free to "preserve themselves from a doubtful or suspected
position" such names as Walter le Free will fully shew .our"In Frys a sobriquet that has
acquired much honour of late" years and is represented in mediaeval rolls by such entries as "le
Frye or le Frie, we have but an obsolete rendering of free".
Living within the sphere of influence of the great Abbey of Malmesbury, it is probable that the
Frys, like so many other English freeman in mediaeval times, suffered at the hands both of the
Church and Crown, and had little love for either, a trait long noticeable in our own and other
branches of the family , and particularly prominent in the history of John Fry [1609-1657], the
regicide member for Dorsetshire in the Long Parliament, who himself had probably a Wiltshire
origin and whose family was possibly connected with our own. William Fry, of Sutton Benger
[1627-1698], a sturdy Puritan, was one of the earliest adherents of George Fox, and a century
later we find Joseph Fry, of Bristol [1728-1787], displaying the same characteristic family
tendencies [see Latimer's "Annals of Bristol," p. 178].
With reference to the coat of arms, the white horses and the "dexter arm embowed in armour"
borne for centuries by one or other of the branches of the Fry family, were charges clearly
appropriate to a freedom loving family, and the white horses in harmony with a pre-Norman origin.
The question has been raised in comparatively recent times whether our own early Wiltshire
ancestors were an "armigerous" family , although it is beyond doubt that for very many
generations they have borne and used the arms shown on this pedigree, viz, :Gules three horses
courant in pale Argent. It is certain that these arms were borne by a family of Fry settled at Yarty,
near Axminster, as early as the reign of Edward 1V., and their claim was admitted by the Heralds
on more than one Visitation, but this branch of the Fry family is now extinct. Mr. Francis Fry,
F.S.A. [1803-1886], had in his possession a pedigree of his family compiled by the late Mr.
Edmund Hogg Fry, containing the following note, " John Fry, of Sutton Benger [1701-1775], had a
parchment in his possession with these arms emblazoned and signed by the Clarencieux King of
Arms, which he affirmed had been in his family some generations. This came into the possession
of Mr. William Fry, the Banker [his son], who sent it to China to have a dinner set painted from it
whence it never returned ". There seems no reason to doubt the veracity of this note .
The practice of ordering such services from China was fashionable at the time and many
specimen plates may now be seen at the British Museum.
Moreover, some of this dinner service still exists and a plate belonging to it is now in the
possession of Mr. Francis J. Fry, of Cricket St. Thomas, and exactly corresponds with the arms
as already described and a book plate of John Fry, of Sutton Benger, in the writer's possession.
It may be supposed that such a claim , coupled with a user over so many generations, of arms which
were undoubtedly granted to a member of the family of Fry, was sufficient proof, and it is probable that
the somewhat lax practice of the Heralds' College in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries would
have been satisfied with considerably less. But the records of the College of Arms are not absolutely
complete and, up to the present date, it has not been possible to prove any record of a grant by the
Clarencieux King made to John Fry or any of his direct ancestors. The practice of the Heralds' College
has of late years passed from one extreme to the other, and until further proof of the descent of John
Fry, of Sutton Benger, from the original grantee of these arms
or the unlooked for recovery of the original parchment once in his possession, the College of
Arms cannot be compelled to admit our claim to use them . In 1894 Mr. Theodore Fry, upon being
created a Baronet, found himself obliged to obtain a certificate from this body to the effect that he
was entitled to these arms, and after considerable controversy agreed to register for himself a
new coat. In consideration, however, of his strong presumptive claim to use the old one , the new
coat registered was the old one with a slight "difference", viz., Per foose ? Gulow ? and Sable,
three horses courant in pale Argent, two Flaunces of the last each charged with a horseshoe of
the second. Crest---a dexter arm embowed in armour proper garnished , or the hand grasping a
sword also proper, the pommel and hilt or between two horseshoes Sable, together with the old
family motto, "Estofidelis".
Before leaving the subject it may be observed that, as it would have been quite contrary to
heraldic practice to make two identical grants of arms , the natural inference to be drawn is that
John Fry was himself a lineal descendant of an original grantee. The charge he claimed, viz.,
three horses courant Argent, has been borne by the Frys in the adjoining counties of Dorset and
Somerset [ as well as those in Devon], though on a field Vert , in one case differenced by a fleur-
de-lys. The Wiltshire Frys held land of the Crown in 1553 and thought it worth while to embark on
a Chancery suit in reference thereto in the reign of Elizabeth, a costly undertaking in those days,
especially for persons living at a distance from London.
It may seem optimistic to expect that, after a lapse of two centuries, further evidence can be
brought to light, but in the meantime it also seems impossible to suppose that any member of
the Fry family living between the years 1500-1700 should have cared to possess himself of a
forged grant of arms and to have used a coat to which he knew he was not entitled.
This indeed, seems the only possible alternative, and presents greater difficulties than the
solution already suggested. Both John Fry and his father were strict and simplicity loving
Quakers. John Fry's poems which are to a considerable extent autobiographical, are still in
existence, and no one acquainted with his character could for a moment believe that he would
take the smallest trouble to possess himself of a coat of arms or have any interest in using one
unless in accordance with the strictest right and family practice. Sir Edward Fry, whose legal and
antiquarian knowledge must be almost conclusive on any such point, has always declined to
make use of any but the old family coat. "quiet Quakers," he writes to me, "are of all people the
least likely to have put forward an unfounded "claim to armorial bearings." This coupled with "the
fact that the arms have been handed down our family" is, he thinks, " cogent to prove that the
family were really entitled to use their use." Unfortunately the College of Arms does not
apparently realise the weight of this evidence, and in the meantime if further and absolutely
conclusive proof is not forthcoming, the blame must be laid at the door of Mr. William Fry.
I am much indebted to my brother T.W. Fry, for his assistance in the preparation of these notes.

By William Stephen Fry ("Bill")
Henry and I were taught at home by a governess when we were small. When we were older we
went to high school for two years in Bunbury and boarded with the Mitchell Aunts. Amy and
Kate. then we went away to Guildford Grammar. Oz was one year younger and he was with me
at Guildford. I hated it. Not because I was dumb.... I liked school work but I hated being away
from home. I was always shy. I couldn't take it. I was sixteen and should have been hardened off
a bit by the two years in Bunbury, but I wasn't.. After school I went home for good.
At home we used to attend church regularly and I can remember prayers being said every
morning before work when we were young. They were generally said after breakfast for a couple
of minutes. And we never had any strong drink in the house. I never tasted strong drink till I was
thirty-five.
I didn't get married until I was forty-four years old. My brother Henry had married when he was
twenty-one and my Father had said to me "Don't you ever think of it!") The War stopped me anyway.
I had to stay home and look after the farm. Paul, Sam and Edith went away to the War.
We were farming potatoes mostly then, they were about half the income. We also milked cows
and ran a few sheep. We butchered them ourselves and distributed it around. There was no
refrigeration.
We used to send a bag or two away on the train. We'd milk the cows by hand. I was about six or
seven years old when I started milking. Then when I was about twelve years old we got a milking
machine. We were one of the first in the district to get a machine. We got more cows but we didn't
seem to be any better off. The farms kept getting bigger to service. Used to be that a family could
exist off a hundred acres. The first Cattle Sale we went to there was thirty cows for sale Now there's
never less than three hundred. Now farmers direct sell to the butchers. It's all different.

Oswald Frederick Fry ("Os" or Ott")
Ott became the engineer of the Shenfield half of the Fry family. After attending Benger State
School he spent two years at Bunbury High before going to Perth to attend Guildford Grammar
School. He then went on to attend the University of Western Australia where he studied
engineering. He loved sport and he excelled in rowing and was on the King's Cup Rowing
Team twice during his years at University.
After his graduation he went to Kalgoorlie to work at the Big Bell mine as a mechanical
Engineer, and in l939 he married Barbara Malcom. They lived in various states of Australia as
Ott's career developed and he was offered more challenging positions.
While working in Yallourn, Victoria, Ott designed and developed the largest conveyer to be built
in the Southern Hemisphere.
When he was working in Mt. Isa, Queensland, he ran an Agricultural Show to raise money to
build a new Anglican Church to replace the existing old iron building. He also organised Art
shows in Mt. Isa and through his efforts a permanent Art Gallery was established.
Ott had just been asked to organise the three million pound extensions to the mine at Mt. Isa
when be became ill. He was diagnosed with inoperable cancer.
He asked to return to Shenfield where he was nursed by his wife Barbara and his sister Edith.
He died in l957.

Notes for Joseph Gurney Fry:
Joseph Gurney Fry ("Gurney")
I can remember being taught at home by a governess before I went to school. The Benger
State School opened when I was about seven years old and I was one of the first pupils. Paul
had to come too, to make up the numbers and he was only five. The school was first held in the
Benger Hall and sometime later they built a new building.
I went to Guildford Grammar from l925 to l928. I liked maths and I won the maths prize first year
I was there. I went back for the first term in l928 to help Paul settle in. Paul and I played tennis
together at times. I liked sports. We used to have tennis parties at Benger when I was at home.. I
studied piano for a few years but now I can't play at all.
We used to eat what we grew and we did well. Always plenty of food. Mum used to bake cakes.
Her speciality was meringues. And we ate parrot stew. It was very nice. Sometimes ducks from
the Benger swamp. But I was never a duck shooter. I used to plant the potatoes. My fingers
would be cracked from the clay. After we planted we would put superphosphate in the furrows
and I would
go along and put sulphate of ammonia on top. we had about lO acres of spuds, which were
all harvested and bagged by hand. Some diggers could bag 4O-5O bags a day.
I started going with a local girl named Lilian Pearson in the l93Os. We going for about two or
three years and we announced our engagement June 6 l934. Dad looked around for a farm for us
and bought "Brentwood", a property a few kilometers from "Shenfield" I went out and lived on the
property on August 6 and batched until December l5, when we got married. We went to Perth to
Forrest House for our honeymoon. One day we caught the train to Maylands and walked out to
the aerodrome to go for a joyride in a small plane.
I never worried about things on the farm. I generally just did things. Picked up hints from
the others.
I milked cows for a few months at first but then that was the end of that. I didn't want to milk
cows for a living. Irrigation for the farms from the Collie scheme at Wellington Weir had been
going less than a year at that stage. I'd bought a few sheep and when they were sold I got thirty-
six pounds profit to the end of June. We survived. We planted paspalum and wild white clover to
improve the pasture. I grew a few potatoes. I would buy cattle and build them up and re-sell later.
I bought another hundred acres next door and then later another hundred down the road.

Notes for Samuel Gurney Fry:
Samuel Gurney Fry ("Sam)
I went to the Benger School first, then to Guildford Grammar in the City. Afterwards I worked on the
farm until the War. They had wanted me to join up before the War started but I said, "Nothing doing"
I'm not a peacetime soldier for anybody" but then the War started and I decided to join the Army. I
was in the lOth Light Horse. They had us three months in camp at Naval Base to train.
After the training it was the end of the Light Horse Regiment as there were no horses - it was
all mechanical. We were lucky to join the 2nd/28th Battalion 9th Division which was just being
formed.
We were always at the right place at the right time. We went to Northam for more training for
six months, then we had Chrismas leave, and then on Jan. 3 l94l we hopped on the boat - the
"Equatania" and left Fremantle for the Middle East. We were over there until Feb. l9, l943. We
were there just
over two years. We had a good trip. Initially we went to Cairo in Palestine and we were then sent
to Tobruk to get some training but then the Germans surrounded the city and the training was
over. We were shut in. they couldn't get in and we couldn't get out. After that we were sent to
Palestine again.
Then we went to train in Syria and it was cold with snow on the ground. We thought perhaps I
had appendicitis as well, so they took my appendix out. That made me really sick. I was crook for
quite a while then because I had to get over both, the dysentery and the operation, I was seven
weeks in Hospital. A week before I got out of hospital my mob were taken to El Alamein. So I was
never a
prisoner of war. I came home with a tin hat with a hole right the way through. I was very lucky. All
I got was a slight graze. We came back in February and we got sent to train in Queensland. We
were sent off again in October to New Guinea for six months. I malaria after I came back.

Notes for Alice Gurney Fry:
booklet called 'The Fry's of Shenfield & Crendon' celebrating thr Fry's Centenery in Australia, in 1994.
The 'Generations List' shows the following on page 11....
Alice Gurney Fry ("Alice")
"I went to Benger School first and then later to Perth College. When I was old enough I left school but I
loved music so even when I was living at home, I still travelled into Bunbury once a week to continue
learning the piano. I caught the train, the Old Rattler.
I can still remember the sound of the frogs at Burekup Station as I waited for my train. If I could I would have
played the music the frogs made. Sometimes I would be there alone, listening in the
dark, waiting for another train. The War came the following year.
I enjoyed tennis and all sports. I loved sport. When we were younger, before the War, we had a
tennis court at "Shenfield" in front of the house and we had a tennis party every Sunday . It
was our main entertainment. We used to mow the court with hand mower - the boys pushing
and me pulling. We had lots of visitors but then the War came and people weren't around any
more. Bill was the only one home.
When the War came, Dad and Bill had to work so hard. They still had to grow the same amount
of potatoes, but everyone was away. It was so difficult working in the swamp. I remember on
several occasions Dad got his feet stuck and couldn't get out. We had to rescue him by pulling
him out of his boots".

Notes for Phillip Gurney Fry:
booklet called 'The Fry's of Shenfield & Crendon' celebrating the Fry's Centenery in Australia, in 1994.
The 'Generations List' shows the following on page 11 & 12...
Phillip Gurney Fry ("Phillip")
Phillip first started his education at home by correspondence before he was enroled in Donnybrook
State School. After primary school he spent one year at Hale School in Perth before completing a further
two years at Bunbury High School. While in Bunbury he boarded with Mrs. Webster who lived in the
Back Beach area. After secondary school he attended the Narrogin School of Agriculture for two years.
He was very mechanically minded and was always adapting or inventing something for the farm. He
invented an automatic start-up for the farm's petrol driven 32v electricity system, which allowed it to be
controlled from the house, and he also modified one of the farm's old Fordson tractors so that it ran on
one cylinder which was then used to drive a centrifugal pump which sent water up to the dam supplying
the house.
He was often thinking up ways of moving and storing water and he began formulating a plan to build a
dam on 'Crendon' After many years of planning, the construction began in l955. The dam took a couple
of years to complete and once finished held 8O,OOO,OOO gallons of water. It was later extended to
hold 2OO,OOO,OOOgallons. The original wall to the dam has since been extended and it can now hold
up to 36O,OOO,OOOgallons.
He was an active member of the Farmers' Union and Farm Advisory Group and was President of the
committee for both organisations. He was also the Chairman of the Preston Co-op where he was a
director. Other organisations of which he was a member included the Parents and Citizens Group,
the Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade, and the Fruit Growers' Association.

Late in l935 John became ill. His health deteriorated over the next few months and he died in March l936. That

In l936 both Rachel and Elizabeth were attending Perth College. When it became obvious Rachel, aged
fourteen, was pregnant, Mary travelled up to Perth to be with her and arranged that she spend the rest of
her pregnancy in the Salvation Army Hostel until her baby was born. Rachel's daughter was born
September l5 and arrangements were made for her to be adopted.

2000....January...I asked Maureen why there appeared to be a big gap between John and
when I was born and she said Mum had two Stillbirths.
I asked Pat the same thing and she said she knew there was one Stillbirth and she was called
'Patricia'. I said if there was a Stillbirth then perhaps there was no 'Birth Certificate' because
there was No Birth. ?
To be explored......

Norman Dewdney died today.
2000...14 December...Jackie's Cousin Norman Dewdney was cremated today at Brightlingsea, Essex
2000...15 December...email to Mike & Janet Smith on Holiday for Xmas in the Caymen Islands....
"Karen had innocently phoned 'Uncle Dickie' to tell him that Norman had just died and apparently the old man
just laughed his head off and thought it was a big joke and a wind up. She did not know all the family had
completely stopped having anything to do with him and when we were mentioned he 'exploded with so much
venom about us all' Karen got so upset about it she put the phone down on him. She later got a letter of
apology and a donation. She says she will never speak to him again. Nobody said what was to happen on
tuesday next...it was not the time.
Barry told 'Nicola' that he [the old man] was not wanted at the funeral in case he caused trouble and
apparently the local Police were notified to tell him he would be stopped if he tried to come.
Barry & Brenda picked up Alan & Val at Watford and we met at the house.
About 20 + Family met there and we all walked behind the Coffin, which was draped with the Union
Jack, his Cap and Medals, for about 1/2 mile to the church in the town. Outside there was a 'Guard of
Honour ' of about 8-10 Bearers with, Caps & Medals and what appeared to be Regimental Flags. Inside
the church were at least 400 mourners, it was full. We were ushered to the front two rows.
Norman was apparently 2nd in Command of the R.E.M.E. Regiment at Colchester and one of the
Glowing Tributes, 'Norman, soldier and Friend' was given by his Commanding Officer Lt. Colonel John
Caldreath, including mention that at an Interview for Promotion, Norman was asked 'What Sports did he
play'. "None, Sir, was his reply". That evening, Norman became an Umpire at the Regimental Cricket
Match and continued to learn more about the game and umpiring it over the years and was known for
his extreem fairness in the game. He retired the Services in 1991as we know.
Norman then became Head of Trinity House in charge of Maintenance of all the Countries
Lightships and Stations and a further Tribute was given by Commodore Peter Melsom, RN.. "if
it was 'stationery' it was painted, if it was'nt, it was painted anyway" sort of thing.
A further address was given by Graeme about his Dad.
Yet another address was given by Mr Graham Bullock of The Association of Cricket Umpires
and Scorers. Norman had got to the 'top of the tree' of this Association also, and took up the Top
Appointment of it on October 1st.
After the service all the Family & Friends took a 1/2 mile walk down to the river where a
reception was held for about 400 at the Colne Yacht Club.
When I hear from Barry 'next tuesday', I will let you know what has happened.!
Love
Jackie & David"

August, abt 4.30pm, Michael had a heart attack and died in minutes.
2002...27 August...Letter to Ivor & Jean.

I hope you are both keeping well and you have enjoyed your garden this summer, weather permitting.
Hilda tells me you have been away.
I am writing to tell you that we lost our youngest Brother Michael on the 11th August. He died
suddenly in Ireland. We have been 'going out quit a lot' since to try to think of 'other things'. I
still, sometimes, cannot talk about him.
Mike and Wendy, his wife, 'emigrated' to Ireland just over 3 years ago, after their shop closed, to
escape the rat race and to find some peace and quite. After a few months they bought an old
cottage with some grounds to keep their horse and five dogs, and soon they bought a donkey
and an Irish Wolf Hound Puppy as well.
The house had not been lived in for about 9 years and was truly in a pitiful state. It defies our
belief that they bought it, complete with chronic damp, millions of bees in the chimney, and an
electric light bulb and most important of all, the stables.
They set too and started to get the place around and a year or so later Jackie and I went over
to see them. The house was being transformed. A great deal of work had been done all by
themselves and there was plenty more to do, and they carried on improving the place.
About a year ago they were offered a '6 acre field' about 60 miles away, on a hill, out in the
sticks, up a mountain, near Nenagh, Tipperary, with fantastic views, and the nearest neighbour
½ mile away on the other side of a valley, and no sign of any other living human.. Their dream
had come true and they would build their own house on it and enjoy their animals in the
tranquillity of Ireland. Etc. etc.
They purchased a caravan to live in, sold the first home, and moved on to the site in May this
year. No water, gas, electric, sewage or phone. They laid in a road to put the caravan on, and
pegged out the 6 acres .gota borehole dug 200 feet down for the water, and got a mobile phone.
They then realised that their ambitious plan was going to cost far more than they had anticipated,
and they would have to lower their sights to building only a bungalow and not a house on the site.
Many times I spoke to Mike and reminded him he was 58 years of age and doing what he was
doing was going to be exceptionally hard work, although he had been doing this all his life. He
was never happier, when he had a spade or hammer, screwdriver or cement to hand, to build
something Always. working.
Mike was digging a hole in the field and came into the caravan feeling unwell. Wendy helped him
get his overall and boots off, and he laid down on his bed, and died. He had a heart attack and
was gone in about two minutes. Wendy called the emergencies but it was too late. He was a
month short of his 59th birthday.
We heard what had happened within a couple of hours and it was a great shock to us all, as
you can imagine. Their son Marcus was on a plane within 3-4 hours, and funeral
arrangements were made. We had great difficulty in getting flights out to Ireland at short notice
but John & Maureen and son Matthew, Elizabeth & Malcolm, & Jackie and I were able to get to
Shannon Airport on Wednesday afterwards, before breakfast, the day before the funeral.
In Ireland they bury the dead very quickly, and Marcus managed to get a one day extension
to enable us to get there. He had to dig his fathers grave the custom there.
Mike is buried in a tiny hillside graveyard, miles from anywhere, at Burgess Cemetery,
Ballywilliam Church, a magnificent view facing west into the setting sun. A more peaceful place
would be difficult to find.
We arrived back home only a few hours after the funeral and we are all finding it hard to believe
that our Brother has gone. Wendy intends to sell the land and to buy a small house, with room
for her animals as it would be impossible for her to carry on her life where she is now.
Brother John has had a couple more operations for cancer of the bladder, and on the day
before we went to Ireland he had had the third of six 'Chemo's'. He is getting over his problem
very well and considers it 'done and dusted.', although he was not very well as, expected.
In October he is going to China and is determined to be fit for that wonderful experience.
The Fry Family Tree goes on, and we now have 1389 names on it. I want to find out more about
the 'Bristol' lot so we may come down to Bristol later on in the year, to dig into the archives of
J.S. Fry & Sons again. There is mountains of info. in the Record Office we did not see last time.
As for the 1901, well, nuff said. The enclosed says it all. It still does not
work. Love, Jackie & David

up and set some flowers in it.
