I wonder if anyone can help. If anyone knows anything about Foot's.

My great grandfather John (Jack) Foot amarried Sarah Ellen Short of Hermitage. John's father George Foot (1850-1923 lived for a time at Hermitage and then for many years lived in a now demolished cottage in Upcerne Wood. He is buried and has a tombstone in the churchyard in Upcerne.

Many thanks for any help.

George married 3 x.
Firstly to Mary Ann Thorne (13 children)
Annie Flicker (2 children)
Sarah Newton

I know nothing about Annie or Sarah and if known by anyone then that would be tremendous.

George's father was called William born 1815. He and his wife Mercy both spent their latter years and died in the Cerne Abbas workhouse.

His father Titus Foot lived and died in the Park at Cerne.

If anyone knows anything about the people or location it would be most helpful

Thanks Mark

p.s. George had a son Robert borm 1902 by Annie Flicker. Robert Foot killed himself when about 50 and buried at Upcerne - any information would be of interest.

Hello from the States! I have just returned from a holiday touring around Dorset only to be told by my grandfather that the family originally came from the Cruxton area. Are there any Channings still living in the village?

Dear Community~I am a mature student studying a BA Degree in Fine **Art at the Arts Institute Bournemouth and wonder if anyone could help with my **summer research.The premises i'm researching is:- Unit G~ Midway **Down Business Park~ Copyhold Lane~ Winterbourne Abbas~ Dorset. The current **occupant repairs plant machinery. The previous occupant~ who made dolls houses~ **hand crafted the kitchen. For example~ there are recesses and cupboards framed **by carved panelling and moulding typical of victorian style. The tiles on the **kitchen floor and balustrades~ leading to the now office~ is also indicative of **this era. The lounge is now converted into a workshop accommodating solid **wooden benches strewn with spanners and a miriad of tools. At the top of the **stair well there is a stained glass window ornately framed on this internal **wall.It is not just the fascination of these contrasts that **intrigue me. Historically what was this site? Was it originally part of Midway **Down Farm or an adjacent farm? In which case~ there may be links to manorial **land or tenants. In this connection I'm aware of the meaning of the **word ##'copyhold'~ but had hoped to uncover more relevant info at the Dorset **History Centre## so far lots on the 'Nine Stones'. It would also be interesting **to trace the doll's house maker~ as there may be a possibility he would be **willing to be interviewed. I would like to ask~ please~ does anyone **have any information regarding the above? If you are prepared to part **with it ##would you be kind enough to contact me.Work focuses on my **relationship with this curious building (made out of corrugated iron) **and ##emerges through object~ text and the environment~ although I intend to **experiment with digital imagery and sound recordings. Please be assured **that permission to use any historical photos or text in the **work will be sought.I'm in the process of setting up my own **practice~ but feel strongly that there is a place for Art in the **Community.Best wishes~
