Newdigate - Restoration and Re-Opening of Newdigate Church.
The quiet and picturesque village of Newdigate, lying still a considerable distance from any railway, and approached through some of the most beautiful scenery in this favoured county, was the scene on Tuesay last of a ceremony. Newdigate possesses a very ancient church, and it was left somuch in its primitive state up to very recently that it could not have failed to charm the archeologish who might have chanced to pass that way. But for the proper performance of Divine worship it sadly required restoration, and it has been left for the present rector (the Rev.L.S. Kennedy) to see this accomplished in such a manner that the features of the original building have been remarkably well preserved. The result is alike creditable to the architect, Mr Streatfield, of 37 Great Marlborough St, and the builder, Mr William Chart, of Newdigate, who has faithfully carried out his plans.

The work of this church restoration is certainly invested with an interest that an entirely new building would not have possessed, and in order that it may be appreciated a short history of the church past and present will not be out of place.
 - - - 
Previous to the re-opening £1,182 had been promised, including the following: Mr Farnell-Watson, £300: Mrs Farnell-Watson, £100, Mr W. Farnell-Watson, £100, Mr Cubitt M.P.,£100, Mr Lee Steere M.P., £50,  - - Mr Rohde Hawkins, £25, Mr A. Chaldecott, £25, Mr Heath, £20, Rev E.D.Wickham, £20; Rev. L.S.Kennedy (Rector), £20, Mr E. Wormald, £15. 15s: Sir H.W. Peek Bart, M.P., £10, Mrs Gough Nichols £10, Mr Mortimer, £10, Mr A. Powell £10,  - - - violet velvert altar cloth beautifully worked, a gift of Mrs Rohde Hawkins, and also a set of book markers, her own needlework;  - - -

Lunch was laid in a spacious marquee, profusely decorated with flags and banners, and supplied by Mr Kendall, upholsterer, &c. of Dorking. The foral decorations on the tables were deservedly admired, and nothing could have been better than the way in which the general arrangements were carried out by Mr W. Bending, butler to W. Farnell-Watson Esq.,

Mr Farnell-Watson presided, and was supported by the Lord Bishop of Winchester, Mr Cubitt M.P., Mrs Cubitt and Miss Cubitt, the Rev. L.S.Kennedy,  - - -The other clergy already mentioned were also guests, besides the most of the following ladies and gentlemen, all of whom had accepted invitations: - - - Mr H.F.Broadwood and family, Sir Leopold Heath K.C.B., Colonel Calvert and party, Colonel Shute and party, Mr and Mrs Rohde Hawkins, Mr and Mrs Henry Lee Steere, Mr F. Pennington M.P.,  - - -

Unfortunately during the after lunch proceedings the rain came down in torrents, and finding out the weak points in the canvas necessitated the use of umbrellas pretty freely. The speeches, therefore, made under the disadvantage of the rattling rain without, and a somewhat damp atmosphere within.

The County Ball - Once more has old Father Time watched the slowly dropping sand of another year. - - - it is our pleasant duty to record another anniversary of the West Surrey annual county ball, with all its concomitants of light, brilliancy, and joyous festivity, and to add another success to the list of predecessors which we have chronicled in former years.

The sombre-looking massive Public Hall, whose interior is so admirably adapted to the purposes of festive gatherings, had lost much of its wonted dreary aspect, even when viewed from the prosaic point of view of the damp, dirty street without, and the welcome lustreof additional lampswith which the entrance was lighted up, coupled with the faintly-heard strains of music, welcomed the approaching guests as the apparently endless ranks of vehicles rolled up to the brilliantly-illuminated entrance in rapid succession. Inside the portals, the lofty Hall presented a striking contrast to the damp, cold and gloom of the November-like night without, and the warmth and beauty of its appearance were sufficient, even without the stirring strains of "Tres Jolie" which came floating merrily down from the ball-room above, where are few of the earliest arrivals had opened the programme, to inspire the devotee of the mazy reel.  - - -

Fresh arrivals keep pouring in, and till almost midnight the usually quiet street echoes to the rumble of carriage wheels, while within doors the various costumes of the lady visitors, mingling picturesquely with the orthodox black evening dresses of the gentlemen, give an added charm to the beauty of the scene as couple glide deftly about the saloon in ever changing kaleidoscopic splendour, to the entrancing strains of Coote and Tinney's famous band.  - - -
The arrangements made by the stewards, R. Barclay Esq., and L.Rickards Esq., were admirable. Amongst the company present were:- Col. Seymour and party (Brockham), Mr Wharton, Mr C.W. Wilson, Mr R. Barclay and party, Sir Leopold Heath and party, Mr A. Layard, the Rev. Mr Hotham (Buckland), Mrs Broadwood and party (Rusper), Mr H. Lee Steere, Mrs Cazenove (Reigate), - - - 

Valse, quadrille, and galop followed each other in rapid succession, and the deep-toned clock of St.Martin's had long since announced the birth of another day when an adjournment was made for supper.  - - -

Holmwood - Wedding
This usually quiet neighbourhood was somewhat astir on Wednesday, the occasion of the marriage of Miss Heath, eldest daughter of Sir Leopold Heath, of Anstie Grange, South Holmwood, with Lieutenant Cotton, son of Sir Arthur Cotton, of Dorking. 

Owing to  a recent bereavement in the family of the bridegroom, the wedding was conducted on a quiet scale, but nothwithstanding this, some little effort was made on the part of the numerous friends of the two families to mark the event in a becoming spirit, which was testified to in the usual variety of ways, such as floral and other decorations, &c. The marriage took place at the parish church, and the Vicar, the Rev. E.D. Wickham, officiated. 

There were four bridesmaids, including the bride's sister and Miss Broadwood. After the ceremony, which took place about half-past eleven, the wedding party returned to the residence of the bride's father, where the breakfast was partaken of, and subsequently the happy couple departed for their wedding tour amid the warmly evinced well wishes of their friends. The wedding presents were numerous and handsome, and costly.

Thursday 12 January 1882
County Ball -

The re-union took place at the Public Hall on Friday night last, and for brilliancy and number of the assembly compared most favourable with any like occasion. The halland its appendages were most charminly decorated for the occasion by Mr J. W. Kendall,of the High St, who succeeded in producing a most harmonious blending. The entrance hall was carpeted; a number of trees and lamps appearing at the side. This passage, so  soon as dancing commenced, was divided by a curtain, and a number of seats were placed thereon were much requisitioned by many of the guests who wished for a few moments repose apart from the intoxicating waltz or the intricate quadrille.The entrance staircase had a covering of claret-coloured cloth with a pretty edging, large mirrors being also placed on each: and in the ball-room itself much had been done by the decorator.  - - -

The guests began to arrive about half-past nine o'clock, at which time a large number of people had assembled to witness the arrivals. Dancing commenced at ten o'clock, to the strains of Coote and Tinney's band, and was carried on with much vigour until about half-past three on Thursday morning. We believe the number present - 250 in all - exceeded any previous like gathering for some year past.

The stewards were Colonel Seymour, of Brockham Park, Betchworth, and Mr Lionel Rickards, Epsom. Amongst those present were  - - - Admiral Sir Leopold Heath and party (Holmwood), - - - Mr and Mrs Broadwood and party (Holmwood),  -- - Mrs Rohde Hawkins and party (Redlands, Holmwood),  - - -

Capel - Messrs. Geary and the Liberationist Agents, continued their campaign in this district by convening a meeting in this village on Friday, the 8th inst., at 7 p.m. A fairly large audience assembled, amongst whom we noticed Sir Leopold Heath, Colonel Calvert, the Revs. S. Du Sautoy (Ockley), Chichester (Oakwood Hill), Johnstone (Ockley), and Burrows (Dorking), and Messrs. J. H. T. Broadwood, W. Dunlop, J. Smith, J. L. Jardine, and C. W. G. Evelyn. Mr. G. Chambers, of the Church Defence Association, was also present. 

The proceedings were opened by Mr. Geary, who delivered a rambling oration of nearly an hour's duration, including interruptions. Mr. Chambers replied in a much shorter speech, refuting successfully the few definite statements made in the first speaker's long discourse, and wound up by proposing a resolution antagonistic to the objects of the Liberationist Society. This was seconded by Mr. J. H. Broadwood, and a hostile amendment was moved by the Rev. C. Barham. 

A show of hands was eventually called for, but as there was no chairman they were not counted, and it was impossible for anyone to see for cortain who were for and who ware agaiinst as several hands were apparently held both for the resolution and amendment. 

Unfortunately the Liberationists had a considerable portion of the rough element amongst their supporters, and these endeavoured to give weight to their leader's remarks by somewhat free use of lumps of turf and clods of earth. 

Before the meeting broke cheers were given for the Queen, the Church, the Lecturers, Mr. Chambers, for those Dissenters who are not Liberationists, finally, groans for the " Robbers." As far as it was possible to gather, the chief object a large number of those who appeared on the side of tha Liberationists, was not so much to support their views as to show opposition to Ockley, as between that village and this a certain amount of antipathy always exists. 

Mr. Geary appeared to make much capital as could out this feeling, for a large portion of his remarks hinged upon the unceremonious treatment he and his colleagues had received when visiting the former place during the previous week.

WEDDING BELLS. MARRIAGE OF MR. BROADWOOD AND MISS A. R. HEATH.

If the saying is true that "happy the bride upon whom the sun shines'' then there is a bright and pleasant future for the younger daughter Sir Leopold G. Heath, K.C.8., of Anstie Grange Holmwood, Miss Ada Randolph Heath,who was united on Thursday afternoon to Mr. Henry J. Tchundi Broadwood, second son of Mr. Henry Fowler Broadwood, Lyne, Rusper, Sussex. 

The family of the bride is well-known and highly respected in the neighbourhood, Miss Heath having endeared herself in more ways than one to the inhabitants the village, not only by many acts of kindness, but also by the earnest manner in which she had devoted herself to the religious education of the children in the Sunday School, and may therefore, be readily understood, that great interest was manifested the happy event. 

The day was delightfully fine, and everything passed off with the greatest eclat. The ceremony took place in the picturesque parish church of Holmwood which was filled to its utmost by an admiring congregation who were shown to their seats by the churchwardens. 

The bridal party drove up to the church, the bridegroom being accompanied by the best man, Mr. C Des Graz. The bride was elegantly attired in a dress of ivory satin, with long train draped with mousseline de soie, caught up with tufts of ostrich feathers. Her head-dress consisted of a long tulle veil, with sprays of orange flowers, her ornaments being a beautiful set of diamonds. The bride carried a splendid bouquet of white flowers, chiefly of orange blossoms. 

The bridesmaids in attendance were Miss Anny Broadwood. Miss Lucy Broadwood, Miss Donaldson, and Miss Sarah Gambier, who were habited in ivory satin short dresses-trimmed with lace, with tulle veils and while aigrettes, they each carrying a bouquet of tea-roses, and copper beechleaves, which were greatly admired. 

In fact, the toilettes of the ladies of the party were exceedingly handsome. 

The bridal party consisted of Mrs W and Miss Wedgwood, Mr F C Heath.

At the conclusion of the ceremony the newly wedded couple repaired to the vestry to sign the register, Mrs. Kennedy, meanwhile, (owing the absence of Mr.Williams), pealing forth on the organ the strains of Mendelssohn's Wedding March. 

As the party left the church hearty cheers were given by the villagers assembled around the church. There was no wedding breakfast, as the marriage took place in the afternoon, but a garden party was given Anstie Grange after the ceremony, to which 160 guests were invited, which in(cluded) Mr and Mrs Bencke and party, Colonel and Mrs Lewin and party, Mrs Drummond and party, Mr and Mrs Sconse, Mr and Miss Hart.

He was glad to see that an alteration had been made in what at one time he thought was a blot upon the Bill, namely, the advance to Guardians in reference to the poor admitted to the house. As showing the relief(?) that would be made the rates by new fiscal arrangements, he mentioned that three millions would be given for the benefit of the agricultural interest, or equal to 3d.in the £ spread all over the country (applause).  - - -

Nothing more scandalous had happened in Parliament during the last 20 years than the manner in which Mr Gladstone and others of his party had backed up the Irish party in their abuse of the English judge. (applause). They only wanted the truth, and nothing but the truth, and they were determined to have it.

 
The Chairman also spoke on the subject, and the Resolution was carried unanimously, and with cheers.

Hi Michael, This is to congratulate you on your amazing ancestry website that I found in a link from the website for Coldharbour Church, Surrey. I live with my daughter and her family at Taylors Farm, actually in the Coach House, on the old Broadwood estate surrounding their country house of Lyne. So it is through that connection I have taken an interest in their family history, personalities and the piano making business. Lyne House is now divided into apartments but they still have a Broadwood grand piano in the hallway. They have an English country dancing event each May 1st to honour Lucy Broadwood, the folk music collector who once lived there. The person that interests me particularly is Ada Broadwood (nee Heath) who I was initially afraid your site didn’t really mention but before I’d explored the extent of it! The Surrey Mirror’s coverage of her wedding amazed me and the list of presents intrigued my daughter whose comment was, ‘would you want your gift splashed across the local paper’! I found the attached photo in a Broadwood album in the Surrey History Centre which is captioned, ‘Ada in Rome Wood under the family tree 1888’. I spent a couple of sessions in Rome Wood  looking for that beech but unfortunately time and possibly the extent of initial carving into the trunk must have taken their toll !
In the year of Ada’s death, 1957, she is shown as living at Taylors Farm 50m away from us across a pond. Taylors Farm is supposed to be the oldest inhabited house in Surrey given a date of 1255.
I’m wondering whether you might consider adding to your already comprehensive website a mention of Lyne House and the piano making business Ada married into?
Sorry this has ended up rather long but lot to fit in and I’m sure I will have left out something!
Kind Regards, Alex Bone, The Coach House, Taylors Farm, Rusper Road, Capel, Surrey.
