FRANCIS JAMES CAMBRIDGE

DEATH OF Mr. F. J. CAMBRIDGE NEWBURY'S OLDEST LICENSEE


The oldest and one of the best known licensees in the town, Mr. Francis James Cambridge died on Thursday last after ten weeks' illness. He was in his 82nd year and had held the licence of "The Catherine Wheel," Cheap-street for 37 years. Although of a retiring disposition, Mr. Cambridge was genial and kind-hearted. He first came to Newbury from Dorchester, and was an engineer for the Great Western Railway Co., being in charge of the permanent way from Reading to Bath. In this profession he followed his father, who built the Screw Bridge at Bath.
It was in May 1907 that Mr. Cambridge returned to Newbury and became landlord of "The Catherine Wheel."

His wife died in 1910, and he leaves two sons and one daughter. The funeral took place at Newbury Parish Church on Monday, the rector, the Rev. Bertram Russell, officiating. Many old friends attended. Mr. Dyer represented the Department of the Divisional Superintendent of the Line at Paddington, and Mr. F.C. Paget (stationmaster) represented the Newbury G.W.R. Staff.

The family mourners were Mr. F.P. G. Cambridge and Mr. H.J. M. Cambridge (sons), Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hall (son-in-law and daughter), Sergt. Jack Gray and Mrs. Gray (grand-daughter), Mrs. Kenneth Furney (niece), and Lieut. Col. And Mrs. W. Dent (nephew and niece).
The interment was in the same grave aas his wife at Newtown-road Cemetery.
