Farewell to the last butcher in the village - the end of an era for a taste of old England

Our village is in mourning. Our immensely popular family butcher closes forever this Saturday. The business has existed for over 150 years. Thomas Jarvis was a Victorian local farmer. When houses cost almost nothing, he clubbed together with fellow-agriculturalists to buy Bateman’s, Rudyard Kipling’s future house. In 1870, he opened a butcher’s shop in the neighbouring village of Burwash. It did well. In 1900, he started a second one in our village, Etchingham. Thomas built a combined shop and house for his son Albert, just returned from service with the Royal Sussex Regiment in the Boer war. Near the counter still hangs a photograph of Albert, prosperous and suitably butcher-like in apron, cap and Edwardian moustache, flanking the game that hangs outside the window. To this day, the glass proclaims “A Jarvis” in the ornate lettering of the period.
