From Fran Clover ( Abbas and Templecombe 2002 – 2009 ) Now in year 7

Well my name is Craig Fellows and I go to Yeovil College at the moment, I have been on my work experience at Abbas and Templecombe twice now and I have enjoyed every second of it. The children are unbelievable, they treated me like I had been working there for years.

I also have to thank the teaching staff as all members offered support for my lesson planning or if I just had a general problem of finding my way around the school.

All the best for the future many thanks for the opportunities you supplied me! CRAIG FELLOWS

I was searching the web tonight for any information on Templecombe and came across your school site.My ancestors came from Abbas and Templecombe and I feel that many must have been educated at your school.

My great great grandfather was GEORGE BELBEN (1/6/1854 - 16/2/1926) who married Catherine (Kate) Witt (born 1/7/1850 in Great Durnford Wilts, died 2/4/1929) in St Marys church Templecombe on 7/2/1874.

George and Kate had 9 children, Henry William George Belben (20/11/1874 - 25/8/1942), Caroline Eliza Belben (26/9/1876 - ?), Sarah Belben (31/12/1877 - ?), Anna Kate Belben (30/10/1880 - ?), John Charles Belben (4/7/1882 - 5/4/1884), William John Belben who was my grandfather (5/5/1884 - 1/3/1956), Edwin Frank Belben (31/1/1886 - 14/3/1965), Sidney Herbert Belben (13/9/1889 - 14/11/1949) and Arthur henry belben (23/7/1892).

All the children were born in Abbas & Templecombe.

My great great grandfather George Belben was a railwayman and a sexton at St Marys church Templecombe and I believe there is a plaque in the church which commemorates his service to the church. He actually died in the church on 16/2/1926.

My parents Eric William Belbin ( born 26/3/19180 and Joan Patricia Belbin (born 23/5/1919) live in Gosport, Hants and I live in Christchurch, Dorset.

The family tree that I have unearthed so far is massive and to date stretches back to Joseph Belbin /Belben who married Sarah (date not known). Joseph was buried at St Marys Church Abbas Combe on 2/8/1804 and Sarah was buried on 9/11/1797 also at St Marys.

With best wishes to all in the school,

Pat Baines (nee Belbin)
