Kelly's Directory of Dorsetshire 1895
Gillingham is a market town of modern appearance and extensive parish and liberty, on the river Stour at its junction with Shreenwater, at the northern extremity of the county, with a station on the London and South Western railway, 4½ miles north-west from Shaftesbury, 6 ½ from Wincanton and 105 from London by road, in the Northern division of the county, liberty of Gillingham, petty sessional division, union and county court district of Shaftesbury, rural deanery of Shaftesbury (Shaftesbury portion), archdeaconry of Dorset and diocese of Salisbury. The town is lighted with gas by a company. Petty sessions are held here in conjunction with Shaftesbury.
The church of St. Mary the Virgin was, with the exception of the chancel, rebuilt in the year 1838; it is an edifice of stone partly in the perpendicular style, consisting of Decorated chancel with aisles, nave, aisles with galleries, south porch, lofty embattled western tower terminating in pinnacles and containing a clock and 8 bells, one of which has recently been recast and the others re-hung and refitted, and two more bells were added in 1894: all the windows in the chancel are stained: there is a fine monument with two recumbent figures dated 1625 to a former vicar named Jessop, and his brother, a physician who resided in this place; also a marble monument in the north chancel aisle to the last co-heiress of the Dirdoe family, dated 1733: the interior of the church has been lately (1889) refitted with open benches instead of pews, new communion table, seats for clergy, pulpit and lectern: there are about 850 sittings. The register dates from the year 1559.
The living is a vicarage, with the chapelries of Hilton and East and West Stower annexed, average tithe rent-charge £1,146, joint gross yearly value £1,152, net £318, with residence, in the gift of the Bishop of Salisbury, and held since 1891 by the Rev. Sidney Edmund Davies M.A. of Worcester College, Oxford, and rural dean of Shaftesbury. There are chapels for Baptists, Wesleyans and Primitive Methodists. A Burial Board of 9 members was formed here in the year 1860. The Cemetery, near to the church contains 1a. 1r. 24p. and has a mortuary chapel: another cemetery of upwards of 2a. has recently been added. In Newbury is a Lecture Hall, in which concerts, entertainments and lectures are given: it will seat about 400 persons.
Gillingham is the headquarters of the L Company of the 1st Vol. Battalion Dorsetshire Regt. commanded by Captain B.E. Freame, and mustering about 100 men. Here are three flour mills, and extensive brewery belonging to Messrs. Matthews and Co. situated at Wyke, and a large bacon-curing establishment. Bricks, tiles and drain-pipes are made here at the Gillingham Pottery Company's works, at which also terra-cotta ware is manufactured; there is also a large dairy depot here for manufacturing cheese and the supply of milk to London markets, under the management of the Salisbury, Semley and Gillingham Dairies Lim: in the addition to which there is another factory owned by the Gillingham Dairy Farmers' Association. The Wilts and Dorset Bank have a large branch here, and Stuckey's Banking Company an agency from Wincanton.
Here is a weekly paper called "The Weekly Record", published by Messrs. James Ridout and Co. on Wednesday night for Thursday. In the churchyard a Church Institute of about 40 members, with a library attached. A market-house and a market have been opened near the station. In the Cheese Market is a large hall capable of accommodating 700 people and is used for public entertainments, lectures, &c. Fairs are held for cattle on Trinity Monday and for pleasure on the 12th September, both of which are very sparsely attended. The market is held every alternate Monday, and on the same day two cattle auctions are conducted by Messrs. Senior and Godwin and Mr Allen Benjafield. The calf market has gained a wonderful reputation being noted as the second largest in the kingdom. The markets generally are very fully attended.
William Read left by his will in the year 1798 5s. per week to 7 aged persons and the amount of £15 to be distributed yearly on St. Thomas' day in bread. A sanguinary battle was fought between Edmund Ironside and Cnut in this neighbourhood, in which Cnut was defeated with great slaughter. The principal land-owners are Lord Stalbridge, who is lord of the manor, the Messrs. Bell and George Blandford Matthews esq., Lord Carbery and the representatives of the late Col. Philip W. Matthews. The soil is a mixture; subsoil, clay and stone. The chief crops are wheat and barley, and some land is pasture. The area is 7,834a. 3r. 30p: rateable value, £21,392; the population in 1891 was 3,303 Parish Clerk - James Sheppard. Sexton, Charles Cox Bealing
Sandley is 3.5 miles west-by-south and 5 miles east from Templecombe. This is the headquarters of the Compton Stud, where there are over 100 loose boxes and nearly 300 acres of land laid out in suitable paddocks. There is also a covered ring for the stallions, the walls of which are almost completely covered with prize cards won by them; 20 or 30 thoroughbred stallions and noted breeders of both thoroughbred and half-bred stock; a show is annually held in August, bringing together all the stock of the above stallions, and Messrs. Tattersall preside over the sale held in connection.
Milton is 1.25 miles north, on the Stour. The church of SS. Simon and Jude is a handsome stone structure, in the Early English style, and consists of apsidal chancel, nave and aisles, divided from the nave by three fine arches resting on circular piers with highly carved capitals and lofty western tower with spire and 1 bell: the chancel is paved with encaustic tiles and there is an organ: the seats are all open and will seat 250 persons: the Rev.
