In 1898 Mathilda won a prize for mathematics at Penarth Intermediate School for Girls. Prize presented by Lord Windsor. Mathilda was a German subject and a visitor at the Vicarage in 1901 - possibly as a governess? Nfi but I have a postcard sent from Butleigh Vicarage in 1903, addressed to a Madame Desmonts, 64, Rue de Sèvres, Paris informing her of the sender's plans to travel via Cannon Street and then Bruxelles to a Frau von Sydow, Crossue Strasse, Frankfurt an Oder which could be from Mathilde or a similar governess/pupil working at the Vicarage.

Robert seems to have had little regard for the law and appears in several court cases for theft or not keeping contracts/paying wages in the 1850's and 1860's – later examples; Robert was summoned for stealing posts and rails at Meare in 1861 [Taunton Courier 26 Jun 1861].

Kingson

1) William Kingson of Taunton bur. 29 Jan 1738 Butleigh

In the entries of the accounts for the Overseers of the Poor for February 1738 there is: “pd 1s Henry Callow and others for sitting up with a chimney sweeper at John Diffords stall, and pd 1s 6d for liquor and stretching him out when dead and pd 6s Mrs. Periam for six yards of flannen at 10d p yard to bury the said chimney sweeper inn. The overseers also paid 4s 6d to ring the bell, dig his grave and carry him to church – plus make out an affidavit. This must have been a terrible tragedy with the sweeper either getting stuck in the chimney or falling from it. We know that this is he since this burial is the only one at the time that concerns a non-Butleigh person. In the records for Taunton St. James a marriage is recorded for William Kingston to an Elizabeth Wey on 7 Aug 1720 and it is almost certainly the same person. In the Taunton records there seems to be just one family with this surname – and William would seem to have been the son of Thomas Kingston (who married Mary Wytch on 3 Feb 1703).

1a) Mathew Knolls [d. 23 Feb 1614?]

Matthew paid £3, 3s Tithing on the Subsidy Roll of 1581. [SRS Vol. 88] The Knollys family owned the St. Clare estates in Butleigh from 1547 and Edward Knollys (d. 1571) left it to another Edward who sold it in 1589. Whether the Knollys and Knolles are the same family needs verifying. Alice married Butleigh 27 Apr 1598 William Callow #

For an early record of the Knollys ownership of land in Butleigh see the case of Court of Star Chamber: Proceedings, Elizabeth I STAC 5/K14/27 - Knolles and Rocke v. Ewyn, Guppy and others.

Hugh Ferrers Knyvett was the Medical Superintendent at the Cottage Hospital in 1901 and lived there with his spinster sister Harriet. In 1881 he had lived at 5, Manor Terrace, Beddington, Surrey where his father was described as 'Rector West Heslerton, York' and Hugh was a 'Medical Student "Guy's"'.

On the 15th April 1898 Dr. Knyvett was called to attend the severely injured Mrs. Anne Brownsell who had been stabbed by Charles Weaver (viz) but she was dead by the time he arrived.
