Dulverton Voice
Issue 36
April 2016
Free
Welcome to issue 36
Again a mixed issue, no Mathew Meets but we are starting a series on “Meet a local
Business” we would like to know who you would like us to invite.
On this page the story of a local “Hero”, and a bit later on about Joyce Burton, do you
remember her and what she did?
We will be covering the effect of all road closures on our Town in the next issue, and would
welcome your comments to include.
We hope you find this month’s Dulverton Voice of interest.
25 years ago on the 21st October 1991, Dave
Thomas popped home from work and found
Chrissie in and out of consciousness. Luckily,
being a retained firefighter, he knew what to
do, and his quick action saved her life.
Chrissie, who had two children Becky 5 and
Dean 4, was in a coma for 6 weeks and when
she came round she suffered from epilepsy.
In the last 25 years she has worked tirelessly
fund raising for a range of Dulverton Clubs,
have you tried to get passed her when she is
selling raffle tickets?
Many people have helped her with her fund
raising for the Epilepsy Society, in recent times
the Co-op has been very supportive.
We have just learnt she has been awarded
“The Epilepsy Hero for 2016” congratulations and richly deserved.
Also The Queen has invited her to the Queen’s
Birthday Lunch in the Mall, which will be a
great occasion for those who have given so
much in helping others.
Chrissie is so proud and she wants to thank all
her friends in our town who have helped her
over the years a special thanks to husband
David.
Our picture shows Chrissie next to another
famous Exmoor Lady - Lorna Doone

Mark Weston, one of the candidates for the
Commissioner Job, asked to visit Dulverton
so he could hear first-hand from local people
the issues that affected them. Mark was shown
around Dulverton by our 2 WSDC Councillors
and met with local residents, shopkeepers and
talked about our issues.
We understand that a wide range of issues
were raised and it’s nice that someone bothered to come and see us right on the edge of
the patch.

Remember Joyce?
Few who lived in our town in
the early part of this century
didn’t know Joyce Burton,
who lived at 5 Church Lane
and let cottages 3 and 4 to
young people so they could
get started on the housing
ladder. Yes by this time 3
cottages were run down but
they provided a home her
and some young towns
people.
under the control of All
Saints.
In her later years she
received support from many,
with Hazel Peck leading the
way.
In September 2011 the
cottages were ready and the
first two young tenants
moved in to much local and
diocesan press coverage.
They were the lucky ones
almost 30 couples had
applied.
When she died Hazel and
Daphne Appleby (a previous
Rectors Wife) were 2 of the
executors and except for a
few small bequests she left
her estate to All Saints
Church and it was clear she
hoped that the cottages
would be used in the same
way. The executors spent
much time ensuring the
cottages were clearly kept
A large amount of work was
required to bring the cottages
up to a good standard and
whilst Joyce had also left the
Church some money if was
not enough for the work and
to give the cottages gardens,
so it was agreed to sell
number 5.
Since then the cottages have
been well used and the
tenants have move up the
housing ladder as hoped.
We understand that the
Parochial Church Council is
proposing to sell these
cottages, which bring them
an income. Their rationale
was clearly set out in the
paper issued with the Parish
Magazine – “All Saints 5 year
plan
for
Mission
Sustainability
and
improvement” if you have not
seen a copy I am certain the
Church Wardens or a
member of the PCC or The
Rector will give you a copy.
These cottages are different
to Number 1 Church lane
which has been the church’s
for many years and 1 Church
Walk which is owned by the
Gardiner Trust.
The need is still there to help
today’s young people, so
what good does it do to sell
these cottages on the open
market.
We make no comment but
the following was made by
someone who has now
moved away but worked
hard to provide what they
and others felt was needed.
“We left them a heritage.
They are selling off the family
silver, sadly”.
We have had a lot of
comments
which
have
contributed to the writing of
this article, all which agree
with the sentiment above, we
would
welcome
your
Comments.

and marketing, future planning etc.
Who inspires you - I suppose it would be Steve
Jobs. He had an idea, he stuck with it, he told
people what they wanted (when they didn’t
know they wanted it!) he did have a darker side
but he was an inspiration.
How do you generate new ideas - Regards to
design, I don’t know is the honest answer, I just
play with ideas till something happens that I like.
Regarding the business don’t stick to the norm,
I also look at what other people are
doing/needing. I often try introducing new
services, sometimes it works, sometimes it
doesn’t.
If you had a chance to start over what would
you do differently - I would acknowledge I
need to know more in certain areas. Have the
confidence to stick to my guns!
If you were to give someone starting a
business advice what would it be - Be
prepared to change. Business is like crazy
paving. You think you have planned how to get
from A to B but you find the path is not so
straight. You have to be prepared to change.
For example, I recently was offered an
opportunity to co-produce and manage the
Exmoor News, this may lead onto other areas
for growth.
What makes you happy - Being creative.
Being with people I love and animals.
If you were an animal, what would you like
to be - An otter, happy on land and in the water.
What do you do to relax - Watch West Wing
on box set! - Art, painting, reading.
Is there anywhere you would like to go - I
would love to go into space but am
claustrophobic!
What 5 persons alive or dead, would you
invite to dinner - Oscar Wilde, David
Attenborough, Billy Connolly,
Spike Milligan and Queen
Elizabeth I.
What got you into the business - I trained as
a graphic artist in an ad agency and when
computers and desk top publishing came along
I was hooked. I also enjoy learning anything
about I.T. which means it broadens my
capabilities.
What gives you most satisfaction in your
working life - Happy customers. They say
“Customer is king” – it’s so true.
What motivates you - It’s not money I can say
that. I think its being creative, solving problems,
being your own boss.
What challenges do you face - Running a
small business you have to be a Jack of all
trades, any try not to be master of none. It can
be a challenge (which I enjoy) but can involve
things you prefer not to do. There is never
enough time.
What 3 key elements do you need to
start/run a business - Enthusiasm, flexibility
and an eye for opportunities.
If you had a magic wand - Admin would get
done by itself!
What three things do you need to be a
success - Is what you do viable. Find out what
your customers want. See if there is a way to
improve what you do.
What changes would you like to see in the
next five years - I would love to see more
opportunity for small business on Exmoor to
stimulate jobs and growth. This includes better
communications, 4G mobile signals, fast
broadband for all across Exmoor, good
transport systems and roads,
more
affordable
business
premises. From a sales point of
view, higher profile for all
businesses on Exmoor. Grants
are well and good, but they have
to be paid back. An easy path to
find pertinent information on
subjects such as cost effective
recruitment,
training,
consultancy, premises, IT, sales

Where
in
Dulverton would
you start If you
wanted to be in a
professional film?
Well how about
looking in the
Tantivy window!
Yes, where a card was asking for film extras for a
period film to be shot on Exmoor.
The Auditions were at the Wellington Hotel in
Minehead and 100s turned up, a real cross section
of humanity, queuing right out of the door for most
of the day.
After 2 hours of queuing, you were given a form
asking a range of questions, your clothes sizes?
happy to have your hair cut? Can you ride? and
so on.
Of the 100’s there they were only looking for about
30 or so, so when all the info had been gathered
and some pictures taken it was off home.
Two months go past and the phone rings; it’s the
production company, still interested? yes, well can
you be at Porlock Methodist Hall at 8.30am on
Sunday?
The hall was full of clothes, shoes etc.so, dressed
to suit it was on to makeup. After 2 hours you are
transformed and so to Porlock Weir which has
been transformed into a 19th century fishing port.
The filming starts with take after take, the extras
were well looked after but 5 days of filming with
make up each morning is very tiring, but fun as
well.
We know many people from Dulverton appeared
in the Land Girls a few years ago, but the Tantivy
Notice board seems to be the place to start now.
Our picture shows our local extra (on the right) in
full dress and make up and we leave it to you to
work out who it is! By the way the film was “Feast
of July”

The Vintage Film Club
I visited their monthly film show last month, I was not sure what to expect, a flickery picture with
a piano playing in time with the film? No.
What I found was a group of around 15 with tea in hand waiting for the film to start, flicker no,
poor sound no, but a super bit of kit where they could enjoy “Whistle down the Wind” the 1961
film.
This was all with the help of
the Community Budgeting in
August last year, together
with U3A, the Vintage Film
Club received a grant so that
both organisations could buy
and share the projection and
sound equipment.

Much has been written over the last months and when I
had a chance to see a successful scheme in action I took
the opportunity.
Milverton are running the scheme with great success, they
have 13 members who work in teams of 3.They select the
safe places to operate with the local Police and wear Hi –
Visibility jackets.
They were operating when I visited them on a road with
a 20mph Limit and during their watch 97 cars had passed
16 were over the limit and the highest speed was
34mph.The highest they ever recorded was 47mph over
twice the limit, but they were having the effect of reducing
the average speed.
They have had no real problems except the odd V for
“Victory” sign and they were happy to be photographed
for our magazine. So it seems to work in Milverton and it’s
a shame we don’t at least try it here, I think 4 people have
offered to train and give it a go, but the council need 4
more to make it worthwhile, so why not offer, cards are in
the post office or mail us and we will pass it on. If we don’t
give it a go we will never know if it will help Dulverton.
What happens to those caught speeding, a letter is sent
on the 1st and 2nd occasions someone is caught and if
they are caught a 3rd time the police take the letter round
with some words of advice.

More Garages and Transport. (part 1)
It is some while since I wrote about the above title,
this month I would like to recount some facts and
stories about the Carnarvon Arms Garage, also a long
established garage and transport concern situated in
Brushford.
We will start in the mid nineteenth century when much
of the land to the south of Dulverton was owned by
the Earl of Carnarvon and some of the ground was
being sold off to the then Devon and Somerset
Railway. In this process the Earl kept some of the land
to build a hotel next to the Dulverton station site, also
retaining some fields close to the village of Brushford;
this being the year 1873.
My Great Grandfather James Nelder, whose family
hailed from Cornwood near Plymouth, had run the
Angel Inn and the Black Horse pub in Tiverton,was
headhunted by the Earl to obtain a licence to sell liquor
and spirits at the newly built Hotel in Brushford.
This he did by buying the said licence from "The
Country House Inn in Dulverton" thus taking up the
post of Hotel licensee.
After a short while he sent his son, Charles, to London
to learn the trade, where he had a hard time as an
apprentice and was convicted of stealing money from
his employer. This was proved as he had some
marked money in his apron pocket found by the police.
Charles protested his innocence and found out that
the marked money had been planted by a crooked
police detective. However to try and get a pardon for
a false conviction was very nearly impossible.
It turns out that his father was well in with the society
of the time and got letters of support from several of
the gentry which indeed led to a pardon from the
Queen.
Had he not had this Charles would not have been able
to take over the license to run the Hotel in the future.
Indeed Charles and his mother were left to run the
hotel on James death in 1879.
Charles married and had quite a large family of both
boys and girls . One of the boys being Reginald who
took over the running of the Hotel on Charles death
along with my father George.
To return to the garage and transport, Charles was an
entrepreneur and started a horse and carriage service
between Dulverton station and Lynmouth in 1895. At
this time he was also supplying goods and materials
to builders (he was well placed to import these items)
as he was situated so close to the station. The
consequence being that he provided horse transport
with carts and kept horses at livery, while following
one of his loves in horse dealing!
The demand for mechanized transport led to two
brothers called Spencer requesting to buy land from
what had now become The Carnarvon Arms Hotel Co.
set up by the Nelder family.
This was a piece of land bounded by Brushford Station
Road, Brushford New Road and what is now called
Market Close, opposite its current location. In 1908
there rose a structure that was to become Carnarvon
Arms Garage built in a style known as a Dutch Barn,
(used by many farmers locally for storing hay and the
like.)
