Family History
My Great Grandparents Albert Wells and Edith Ann Judson married in this church on 24th December 1912. Edith was born Judson and was born at Holme and so may have been Baptised in this church as well.

The Purewell Japanese Garden
While visiting my sister-in-law Margaret Paine in nearby North Muskham, I discovered this exquisitely beautiful Japanese garden. Known as the Pureland Japanese Garden and Meditation Centre it is in North Clifton.
It appears to have been built by one man (Buddha Maitreya) over many years and is truly staggering in its simple beauty. How can one man have taken a couple of acres of flat land and transofomed it with his bare hands to a landscape of humps, hollows, trees and water. Once seen but never forgotten. A tranquil place that lends itself to higher self-awareness, and meditation.
It is beautiful!

My Ancestors
My mother Alice Harpham & family lived here. She was born 1904 at Dunham, along with John Thomas, Rose, Herbert, Edith, Margaret, & Sydney John. When I searched my family tree, I had been told by my cousin Evelyn in 1980 that my grandma Eliza [nee Todd, originally from Ripon] was found dead in the attic with her throat cut. Eventually I found it was in 1927. Thomas Harpham, their grandad, was the shoemaker, trained by John Harpham in the 1800s. The Whate family are also included, they had a shop on the main street. I was fortunate to meet a lady from Retford, via advert I placed in Retford Times, and I went to her home, and she took me ...read more here

The Church 1890
In this picture the ancient village church
looks brand new; it was. The Reverend
Edward Hadley had All Saints completely
rebuilt between 1886 and 1888, and paid
for it himself.

King Street is the location of the former market place,
which was built over many years ago. Also along here is
the timber-framed Saracen’s Head. In 1646 it was known
as the King’s Arms; it was here that Charles I spent his
last hours of freedom before surrendering to the Scots.

The builder of Syerston Hall, William Fillingham, has a con-
nection with Balderton in that his ancestors were farmers
there. Though William was himself a farmer, he was also a
land surveyor, property developer and investor in canals. He
obtained Syerston in 1792 when he bought 500 acres from
Lewis Fytche for £12,375. William died before Syerston Hall
was finished; it was completed by his son, George.

In earlier times both the Trent and the Devon
were actively fished, sometimes illegally. In
July 1613 ‘a fisher of Newark and a ffowler of
ffarndon’ were indicted for obstructing the
Devon, probably with illegal nets. On the right is
Jobson’s Boathouse. Jobson’s business included
boat building and boat hire.
