Barston Association
Just thought I would let you know that there is another very active
organisation within the village of Barston. It is called The Barston
Association and its main function is to organise social events to raise
money for local charities and for the benefit of the village. We have
around 70 members.
Our functions include annual favourites such as a Cheese & Wine
luncheon, summer BBQ, the Village Fete and, for the children, a
Halloween party. We also hold additional functions which are more
flexible in subject and can range from speaker evenings, musical
entertainment, comedy nights, magic shows, discos and wine tasting.
Most of the money we raise each year is generated by holding the annual
Barston Village Fete which takes place each August Bank Holiday Monday
in the field to the rear of The Bulls Head pub in the village itself.
On average we raise in the region of £2,000 per year which is usually
split into 4 or 5 separate donations which are presented to local
charities at our AGM held each January.

Back in 1964, a new member of the Barston community was
born...ME!! Adam Wall. My father [John] ran the Bulls Head up until the
late 80's. I have many happy memories of my life in Barston and feel
lucky to have spent my childhood there...

I am trying to trace my family history
back. We believe that a Lord Grimshaw lived in Barston in the
1700s
in a building named the Trinity House. If anyone can help please let me
know.

My Great Grandfather on my mother's side, David Llewellyn was a
stonemason living with his family in Barston in 1881 according to the
Census of that year. What happened after that? Any Llewellyn's around
now?

I am tracing the family History of the Scarlett family. Adam
and Hannah are buried in St. Swithin's churchyard. Does anyone know of
Knowle Wood which is, I think, a house? Are there any records of who
employed who in Barston in the 19th century? If you can help, please,
contact me.

My sister and I are trying to trace our ancestry and we found out from
older relatives that our grand parents came from the Barston area. Our
name was Taylor and our grand mother Edith Harrison married her first
cousin Sydney Charles Taylor. They moved to the Sheldon area in the
early 1910s. We would like to find out if there are still members of the
Taylor or Harrison families still living in the area.

I am one of a group of cousins who maintain a web site -
http://uk.geocities.com/barstontranters
It is dedicated to the history of our Barston Tranter ancestors.
Members of the group live in Canada, The United States, Australia as
well as various parts of the U.K. Henry Tranter and his sons
John and Daniel owned and lived in the pair of cottages near the Malt
Shovel in Eastcote for most of the 19th century.

I am trying to locate English places mentioned in Shakespeare's plays.
Is Barson actually Barston?
There are some places on the database that I have not quite been able to
pin down. This is just such a case. This is another possible location
for Barson. It is also in the area that would have been Shakespeare's
locale, but I can't say I know any more than that.
