Burrington Church on a Postcard

Note how small the Yew tree is in front of the church. The postmark is indistinct, the date written by the writer is 30/7/22?, the stamps are KGV ½d Green, issued in 1912, Gracie (see below) was married in 1927 so no longer Webber after that date so I think 1922 is correct. The postmark is Chulmleigh and the card was sent to Gracie Webber, c/o Mr P Skinner Esq., Hills View, Hollacombe (where Gracie may have been in service). The writer 'B' states that "Mother is gone to the funeral" [sic] - which could date it more precisely, if there is anybody out there that has a Webber family history. This card is not for sale.

Thanks to Roger Dunn of Dolton who added the following: Mary Grace Webber married Percy Skinner from Hollacombe. It was from "B" who might well have been her sister Bessie. "Mother" would then refer to their step-mother Lucy (nee Copp) as their mother Julia (nee Nethercott) was dead by then.
