- Baptism: 22 Mar 1733, Swindon, Wiltshire; Christ Church, Swindon
- Occupation: Before 1765, The Star & Garter Inn, Andover, Hampshire; Publican
- Occupation: 1765, Fovant Hut, Fovant, Wiltshire; Publican - kept the White Hart (Fovant Hut) on Salisbury Plain for 60 years
Notes:
1. In ' An Actual Survey of the Great Post Roads between London and Falmouth' , by Cary in 1784, Fovant Hut or The White Hart is shown. (White Hart, a name familiar all over England for inns, is possibly a scribe's error for 'White's Hut'. White was probably a former occupier of the Hut; for the hedge running south from the turnpike almost opposite the Hut is called 'White's Hedge'. It is the boundary between Fifield Bavant and Ebbesbourne Wake.)
Fovant Hut did a brisk trade in the old days, and was the recognised meeting place where champions from rival villages engaged at fisticuffs. It was also to Fovant Hut that Parson Chaffin was wont to saunter, fiddle in hand. There he met other pretended fiddlers, whose object in coming there was not to scrape their instruments but to watch for deer which, pestered by flies, might stray from the woods of Cranborne Chase and seek sanctuary in the valley.
Occupation:
Fovant Hut has also been known as the White Hart Inn or the Hut on Salisbury Plain. It was one of a series of posting houses along the turnpike road, which ran along the ridge of the downs above the village. Although we do not know when the inn was established, the Salisbury and Winchester Journal referred to it as ‘new built’ in 1757. William Kennell, the first landlord, advertised that he had:
‘a stock of neat Wines, rich Cordials, and all sorts of Spirituous Liquors to be sold Wholesale and Retail.’
According to the National Burial Index William Kennell was buried in Horningsham in Nov 1762 age not given (just 15 miles away from Fovant as the crow flies).
We don't know who kept the Hut after his death until Richard & Elizabeth took it on in 1765.
The inn did a thriving trade until 1787 when the Lower Road (now the A30) was turnpiked. It is not known when the inn ceased to trade, but it has long since been a private house.
In 1785 Parliament sent it's surveyors to establish the Enclosure details. The first meeting took place at Fovant Hut on 19th Sept 1785.

Source Notes
Richard Mills' will is recorded in The Clay Papers 'Some Notes on the History of Fovant' amassed by the late Doctor Richard Clay. In 1967 he used some of this material to produce a small booklet that gave a short history of the village, but in general the papers remained just a collection of loose pieces of paper.
Although the original papers are held by Mr Robert Snow, Doctor Clay's grandson, copies of the documents were deposited with Salisbury Museum. Over the years interested parties made further copies, until there were several such 'collections'. In 2002, Mike Harden of Fovant History Interest Group collated, edited and indexed these different versions and had, what might be called, the definitive version of Doctor Clay's original papers bound into a single volume. Copies of this volume are now held in museums, libraries and record offices in Salisbury, Devizes and Trowbridge.

Notes:
from Katie Woolf
Frederick was working as a groomsman at the Crown Hotel, Emsworth, Hampshire when he died 1896/97. Family myth is that he liked his drink and fell off the horse. He either worked for or followed the famous jockey Frederick Archer, and his son was called Archer after him. Following Frederick's death his wife (with four children) married George Henry Light and they had one daughter, Irene. Emily and James Williams are the witnesses to Fredrick’s wedding in 1886. Emily was James’s wife and also registered Fredrick’s death.

Notes:
Part of a posting on the Ancestry message boards dated 22nd Feb 2005:-
"The family story has it that she was working in a big house as a domestic servant when the next door neighbour who was a major in the army was visited by William Barr, a mere private, and after delivering the message was sent to the kitchen for a cuppa. There he met Ada from next door. They married soon after. Romantic isn't it? William Barr rose to a quartermaster sergeant in the Royal Engineers and 10-years later (1902) their son John Victor Barr was born in Gillingham, Kent."

Handling of Hydrostatic Fuses
The explosion in HMS Vernon on March 19, 1930 which resulted in the deaths of Gilbert Hutchinson (46) of 39 Wadham Road, North End and William George Williams (54) of 94 Clayhalll Road Gosport was the subject of an exhaustive inquiry by the Portsmouth Coroner (Sir Thomas Bramsdom, JP) at the Guildhall on Wednesday afternoon.
The City Coroner sat with a jury, and Mr S. Brutton represented the Admiralty, Mr E J Bechervause was for the Mining School in HMS Vernon, Mr F A Maxwell-Wells represented the two widows, and Captain Pedlar, the Factory Inspector, was present on behalf of the Home Office. Harold Charles Shotter, a School Teacher, identified the body of the late Mr Hutchinson as that of his Uncle. The next witness was James Smith a clerk in the Dockyard who identified the body of the late Mr Williams as that of his father-in-law.
Lieut-Commander Douglas Geo. Wilberforce Curry, second assistant to the Superintendent of Design at Woolwich, said that last October he received the issue of two Hydrostatic Fuses. They were forwarded to the Superintendent of Mines in HMS Vernon. He understood that the Vernon tests would be carried out in deep water and not in a tank.
Percy Ernest Masters, the shop manager at Woolwich Arsenal spoke to the labelling of the fuses as being loaded when they left Woolwich for the Vernon, via Priddy's Hard. At Woolwich a fuse was always assumed to be loaded unless it was labeled otherwise.
William Neal, a storehouseman at Priddy's Hard said that the case (produced) arrived at the store on February 11. An "Experimental" label was on the box, but it did not show that the fuse was filled.
Commissioned Gunner Anthony Beard of HMS Vernon said that when the fuses were received by him he pointed out to Mr Pickford that there was a possibility of the fuses being loaded. Mr. Pickford, however, thought that they were unloaded. The fuses were delivered to the witness from Priddy's Hard in a box marked "Loaded" and the witness treated them as such.
P O Charles Crook of the Vernon, said that he received instructions from Mr Beard to issue the explosives to the late Mr Williams. The word "filled" did not appear on the box label.
THE EXPLOSION
A fitter named William Samuel, employed in the Mines School, said that on March 19 he saw the two deceased men and Mr Pickford.
Mr Williams had a fuse in his hand, and he asked the witness for a spanner, shortly afterwards be heard a sharp report and saw Mr Pickford with his hand covered in blood. Mr Hutchinson was lying on the floor and in the other end of the workshop Mr. Williams was lying in
great pain.
Mr Jessie Ward, a fitter in the School said that the heard the report and saw Mr Williams and Mr Pickford staggering about. He also saw Mr Hutchinson suffering from severe head injuries.
A FINGER BLOWN AWAY
The chief witness was Mr. Frederick Pickford, the principal technical officer in the Mines School, who appeared with his right hand heavily bandaged. He became distressed when he came to describe the accident. He said that he never thought that the fuse was filled, and he proceeded to take down the fuse. He went across to the test shop and asked the deceased man, Williams, to unscrew the detonator. Unfortunately for the late Mr Hutchinson, his was the first bench they came to and the operations were carried out on this bench. The explosion then occurred and the witness saw that a finger had gone from his right hand. He also saw Mr Hutchinson and Mr Williams collapse. The witness was discharged from Haslar Hospital on Monday. He never saw the box in which the fuses arrived from Woolwich via Priddy's Hard. Had he seen the box he would have expected to find the fuses loaded.
He agreed with the Coroner that in future it would be wise to distinctly mark a loaded fuse.
Replying to Captain Pedlar, the witness said that had he known that the fuses were loaded he would have sent them back to be emptied. He saw none of the correspondence accompanying the fuses.
Surgeon Commander Cory, Dr. R. H. Hodges, and Surgeon Commander O'Flynn gave medical evidence as to the cause of death in each case, and in his address to the jury, Sir Thomas Bramsdon said that the case emphasized the need for loaded fuses being marked as such.
VERDICT AND RIDER
The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental Death." and added a rider to the effect that the fuses should be clearly marked.
Died:
General Peritonitis following wounds to the abdomen and peritoneal cavity brought about by the explosion of hydrostatic fuse which was being taken to .... for experimental purposes at the Naval .... .... HMS Vernon on the 21st March 1930 of the same month accidental death.
Another sailor working with him was killed instantly.

- Cremated: 4 Feb 1971, Portsdown Crematorium
Notes:
According to Ron Mills, a relative, whom he thought may have been Jesse Mills, was prepared to pay the costs of sending William George Mills to Winchester College. George's mother Eva Annie insisted that he go straight into the Army instead.
He did so as a bugler.
Was this the reason behind a possible rift between the Mills and Williams families?.
It is clear that William George was prevented from knowing anything about his relatives apart from some very sketchy details.
Birth:
The copy of his birth certificate is dated 18th October 1901 and stamped
"Royal Commission Patriotic Fund". This is just five months after the death of Thomas William.
The assumption is that Eva Annie may have had a grant to pay for the burial of her husband.
Ron & I visited the offices of the Patriotic Fund in London during May 2003. They don't have any records of grants to individuals.

Celia read the following poem:-
The words of this poem reflect how the family believes Daddy would be thinking now
Death is nothing at all
I have only slipped away into the next room
I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to each other
That we are still
Call me by my old familiar name
Speak to me in the easy way you always used
Put no difference into your tone
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Laugh as we always laughed
At the little jokes we always enjoyed together
Play, smile, think of me, and talk to me
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was
Let it be spoken without effort
Without the ghost of a shadow in it
Life means all that it ever meant
It is the same as it ever was
There is absolute unbroken continuity
What is death but a negligible accident?
Why should I be out of mind
Because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you for an interval
Somewhere very near
Just around the corner
All is well.
Nothing is past; nothing is lost
One brief moment and all will be as it was before
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!
by Canon Henry Scott Holland.
Lance concluded with this:-
Death is only an old door
Set in a garden wall.
On gentle hinges it gives at dusk,
When the thrushes call.
Along the lintel's green leaves beyond,
The light lies still.
Very willing and weary feet
Go over that sill.
There is nothing to trouble any heart,
Nothing to hurt at all
Death is only a quiet door
In an old wall.

Notes:
GORDON RAYMOND MILLS
Gordon Raymond Mills was a unique character, born the youngest of three, in Gosport on the October 5th 1926. He spent his childhood in various places around the world due to the fact that his father, William George was in the Royal Engineers.
In his younger days, Gordon was a keen and enthusiastic sportsman, involved in many sporting teams, notably football, hockey, swimming and tennis, both at school and college. He had great pride in showing the scar from an operation to pin his broken leg; the result of a footballing injury obtained when he was 12, which he maintained to his last days, was NOT an accident!
One thing he will always be remembered for was his love of taking things apart to see how they worked or, more importantly, how he could improve them! He was never very good at putting things back together however, hence lots of bits and pieces lying around which may come in handy for something else!
Gordon began his working life as an electronics engineer with the Admiralty Surface Weapons Establishment. He worked his way up through the years and perhaps one of his happiest times, when on board HMS Girdleness, was his involvement in the development of new surface to air guided missile systems. He was very proud of his work, but never really talked about it in detail. We think he took his oath of secrecy very seriously!
He continued to work at A.S.W.E. until his early retirement having achieved the dizzy heights of Senior Scientific Officer, a position of which he and his family were justifiably proud.
Gordon was a loving and devoted son who cared for his parents and elder sister Eileen in their final years. He liked to keep himself to himself but always maintained a loving relationship with his older brother Ron and Sister in law, Joyce. As in all sibling relationships, the elder brother offered the younger much advice, most of which was duly ignored or forgotten!
Gordon was a generous and loving uncle to his nephews, Brian and Corin, and niece, Celia, and was always on hand to help out when financial crises occurred. This continued with his great nephews, Matthew and James and nieces, Emma, Elena and Zoe all of whom have experienced the kindness and generosity of the man.
It came as shock to Gordon to have become ill, as he had always enjoyed good health. His last eight weeks spent in hospital was a considerable trial for him, but he managed to maintain a dignified and grateful demeanour with the hospital staff whose care was very much appreciated.
Over the last few weeks, Gordon was pleased and comforted to know that he had the love and support of his family in his hour of need. He will be missed by all of them.
Rest in peace, Gordon; no doubt you will be sitting in your comfy reclining chair and watching a state of the art wide screen TV! Say "Hello" to your Dad, Mum and Eileen for us. We love you.
Celia Walker - 9th June 2003 - read at Gordon's funeral.
Occupation:
The Admiralty Surface Weapons Establishment originated in an Experimental Department set up in 1917 at HM Signal School, Portsmouth, to coordinate research work undertaken since 1896 on the Torpedo School ships HMS Defiance and HMS Vernon. In 1941 the Experimental Department became the Admiralty Signal Establishment which, like its predecessors, was largely concerned with communications. However, technological advances during the Second World War necessitated an increase in related fields of research, and in 1948 these were brought under one body, the Admiralty Signal and Radar Establishment at Portsmouth. In 1959 it was decided that missile technology justified an extension of its scope, and on being amalgamated with the Admiralty Gunnery Establishment (AGE) it received the title of Admiralty Surface Weapons Establishment (ASWE). It is responsible for various aspects of research, development, design and trial of equipment, devices and techniques in the fields of communications, radar missile control, and electronic counter-measures and in related fields.
In 1971 the Admiralty Compass Observatory was absorbed into ASWE as its Navigation Division, and in 1984 the Establishment was amalgamated with Admiralty Underwater Weapons Establishment (AUWE) and Admiralty Marine Technology Establishment (AMTE) to form the Admiralty Research Establishment (ARE).

Description: Britain's first guided missile test ship for Sea Slug
Seaslug missile tests - Malta
WH876, in U.14 configuration, was used as a pilotless drone target by 728B Squadron. This was a Royal Navy squadron, at Hal Far, Malta, who flew these target drone Canberras on guided missile trials [Seacat and Seaslug]. WH876 was numbered "595" whilst with the RN. The Canberras, six of them, were painted all-over white with wide black bands around the outer part of the wings. The navy only managed to shoot down one of the six - WH921 ("590") - brought down by a missile fired by HMS Girdle Ness on 6 October 1961. Having survived the Navy(!), WH876 returned to the UK in December 1961 where it was put into store at Pershore. The cockpit section is kept at Boscombe Down.
