Research Notes

  • Samuel Gray and Diana Vawer Lived in Water's Place - a poor area: "BEDMINSTER: It is a quarter of a century ago that the Rev. Dr. Doudney, 'Old Jonathan', commenced his preaching in his temporary wooden church in Princess Street, but after a few years found the poverty too great to carry on his work without the aid of a soup-kitchen—which he has since built on a most complete scale.

    Every winter, hundreds of the very poor are thankful for its timely help; the outcry for more work meets one in the crowded homes, but the keen struggle is unseen till one is brought in close contact with it in the poorest dwellings of Stillhouse Lane, Whitehouse Street, Water’s Place, the Piggery, and Doveton Street." on 7 April 1861 at 16 Water's Place, Bedminster, Somerset, England, .9
