More about this scene

Before its restoration, Plaxtol's church was an almost complete 17th-century creation, with a fine hammerbeam roof and an ancient reredos. The old rectory, of warm red brick, with its tall chimneys and light-gathering broad bay windows has creeper running rampant all over it.

1901 Census
The Rector in 1901, according to 1901 census, was William Dalrymple Fanshawe who was born in Ireland around 1856 and is related to the three brothers Dalynple Fanshawe who all commanded Corps or Division in World War I. Only looked him up because I have a three volume edition of Shaftesbury's Characteristicks which he owned in 1880. My own great grandfather was the next recorded owner of the work.

Despite over 20 years’ work on the archive, these scans have still not been individually checked and may prove to be damaged, faded, or not of sufficient quality to ever be offered in our full product range. However, if you would particularly like to buy one of these please get in touch quoting the Frith negative number,(s) the town name and size of print you would like to buy. On receipt of your enquiry our archivist will check the scan and advise you if the quality is good enough.

What is an Album?

An album is a way to save a selection of Frith photos, maps and memories that are of interest to you.

Creating an Album enables you to make short lists and then make a final selection from the album. In particular it makes ordering things like calendars much easier - simply create an Album of the 12 photos you like and then use the Album when placng your order - our order process will give you this option.

You can create as many Albums as you want, so perhaps make one for your hometown, where you live now, where your parents live now etc.
