Dating from about 1910, and probably in the garden of the old vicarage up the Back Lane in Worthen. This was where Rev Henry Jerrom [curate] then lived, and it was he who organised this group of players: I suspect he is sitting in the middle.The violinist sitting second from left (with the bowler hat) is Ted Benbow, and the man behind him with a cap is Bob Trentham. The cellist is Tom Ryder, a tailor, whose wife Jessie taught at Worthen school, and whose daughter Edie later taught infants at both Bromlow and Worthen schools. One of the sitting female violinists will be Mary Vaughan [later Mrs Mary Marsh], daughter of the Vaughans who then ran the White Horse in Worthen.
