LIFE is full of dissent! Dissent over territory may be resolved by wars and treaties, legal dissent by courts, and even scientific dissent by peer review and the like. But religious dissent has a huge history and just seems to go on. The legacy is a host of chapels – some now private dwellings –- built by Baptists (of two kinds, General and Particular), Quakers, Congregationalists (or Independents), Methodists (Wesleyan and Primitive) and Presbyterians. There are also one-offs, like the chapel of the Countess of Huntingdon’s Congregation at Mortimer West End and an indeterminate Old Meeting House at Ringwood. In the early years there were as many as 20 ‘separatists’, such as the Grindletonians, Levellers, Muggletonians and Brownists. Some of these congregations endure, like the Baptists, who owe their origins to an Englishman in Amsterdam in 1609. Others have combined, like the Presbyterians and Congregationalists who in 1972 formed the United Reformed Church.

WE stopped in Charing Cross Road last week, with the aim of continuing an unhurried wander along its stretch.
Let us resume our virtual stroll,
Home in the mid-1500s to a popular wayfarers’ hostelry called the Plough Inn, by the 1870s the pub had long gone with just its derelict stable yard remaining. Champion pickle makers Crosse & Blackwell bought the site and used it for their expanding central London condiment empire.
C’n’B were a wildly successful catering story in the Victorian years, and became synonymous with this patch. Edmund C and Thomas B had been apprentices at salted fish makers West & Wyatt, and bought the firm in 1830. By 1857 they were flogging 17,000 gallons of mushroom ketchup and shifting 120,000 tins of sardines annually from their West End base. By the time they took on 111, they had sauce mixologists beavering away in Soho Square, Sutton Place, George Yard, Denmark Street, Dean Street and Earl Street.
WE KNOW for many Andovians, picking up a copy of the Advertiser on a Friday is a well-established part of their weekly routine. And some lucky readers got more than they were expecting when visiting local newsagents and shops in recent weeks. Customers purchasing the Advertiser from selected stores have been receiving free gifts when picking up their copy. It is a little way to say thanks to residents for supporting local shops this year - and supporting their local paper too. Stores involved for this Stay Safe, Shop Local promotion were the Family Shopper in Hurstbourne Tarrant, The Papershop in George Yard, Saxonfields in St Birinus Gardens and Martins in the Chantry Centre.
