We have recently come into possession of an interesting trophy from the 1930s. A gentleman called Nigel has kindly donated it to us. His grandmother, Mrs M.A.Pearce, everyone called her Molly, had won the cup 3 times in succession in the 1930s, so she got to keep it. The trophy has the following engraving.

1930

Molly was married to Arthur Charles Pearce, who worked for Frank and Agnes Marshall at Ham Farm, Ham Lane, Wraxall. They lived in a terrace of cottages in Wraxall until the early 50’s, and then moved to ‘Hill Croft’, Tower House Lane. Arthur used to grow rows of Dahlias, many ended up as floral displays at Wraxall church. They had 2 daughters: Brenda and Mary. Brenda was Nigel’s mother, they lived in the Tyntesfield Estate until 1956.

We are very please to receive this trophy and look forward to presenting it to a worthy winner next year. The committee will decide on a category soon.

Some of our members can remember the Wraxall Village Club Flower Shows. We will be sharing their memories with you in due course.
