Opening the Bazaar, 9th August. The “restoration” of the Parish Church of St Nicholas Guisborough imposed a heavy burden on the parishioners and a popular source of income was the bazaar. Colonel Chaloner the new Lord of the Manor is on the platform, with the new Rector, the Rev. AN Thomas, by his side.
The second picture shows a lull in the proceedings and the third children presenting flowers.
The Bazaar booklet shows that no-one wished to hide their light under a bushel! One name does not appear in it – that of the rector who followed Mr Thomas when he went to Australia to put on his mitre as the Bishop of Adelaide. His successor, the Rev GH Cobham, had the task of raising sufficient money to pay off the outstanding debt.

“..... his appearance on the platform excited considerable astonishment, a first impression being that a female in male attire was before the audience, whose age was about 28 years, of tall stature, finely proportioned, dark, swarthy, clean-shaved visage, with perfectly formed features, and masses of black unparted hair; evening attire, poetically turned up cuffs and salmon coloured silk handkerchief, watch in trousers fob and old-fashioned seal pendant.”
