Friends of St. Andrew's Church

Valerie, who is the Chair of the Friends of St Andrews, has asked me to forward on to you the Agenda for their AGM 

Although you may not be a registered Friend of St Andrews, but as member of the congregation you give your support to the church in another way, it would be appreciated if you could find time to attend their AGM and hear about their plans, finance and the past contribution they make to the church.

 I have to say without them the church would be a poorer place and not in such a good structural state of repair and we would not have the village plant sale which is an enormous social event.

You will not be "pressed ganged" into anything but your presence at the AGM would give encouragement and thanks to them, so please, if possible, diary today Monday 26th March at 7.30 in church.

Kind regards, David

HERRIDGE, Reginald

The Feniton History Group are commerating Reginald Herridge who died in WW1

Born : Feniton 1889

Baptised : 25th December 1889

Parents : William and Mary Herridge, Sidmouth Junction.

Married : Ivy Blanch Best – Honiton Q3/1915

Died : 22nd March 1918

Buried : Sery-les-Mezieres Communal Cemetery, France. Grave 8.

1891 Census : 62 Railway Cottages, Feniton – aged 1

1901 Census : Sidmouth Junction – aged 11

1911 Census : Parkholm, West Hill, Budleigh Salterton – boarder aged 21.

Occupations : Railway Porter

Address on enlisting : Budleigh Salterton. He enlisted in Exeter.

Regiment : 7th Battalion, Queens Own (Royal West Kent) Regiment

Rank : Private

Service Number : TF/241343

Notes : The 7th Battalion landed at Le Havre on 27th July 1915. He is buried in Sery-les-Mezieres Communal Cemetery, France, along with four other British soldiers. This is behind German lines in an area that was never occupied by the British until almost the end of the war. The most likely explanation is that he was taken prisoner of war during the German offensive in early 1918, was probably wounded during his capture and subsequently died of the wounds in captivity – possibly at a German field hospital. At the time of his death his wife was living at 8 Holland Road, St Thomas, Exeter. Although he has a Territorial Force reference, he may have been a volunteer as the 7th was a volunteer battalion.
