 | George and Mary Clist, and daughters
George and Mary Clist, and their daughters Dorothy, Annie, and Helen Joy. |
 | Frank, Mark, and George Clist
The handwriting is Leonard Clist's. He has identified My Father Frank on the left. At the top is My father's two brothers, Mark, and George Clist (right). From Mark's clothes and centrality, we deduce that this photo of the three brothers was taken on Mark's wedding day, 12 May 1897. Sadly, Mark died just over two years later. |
 | George Clist with youngest daughter Joy on a horse at the smithy
This is a midget postcard, on the back of which is written (by Leonard Clist) The smithy at Shoreditch nr Taunton. My Uncle George with his youngest daughter Joy - (died young). Circa 1908. George Clist is my great-grandfather, and Joy Clist's portrait is at the top right of every page in this site. |

| Letter from Julian Clist 1974
This letter from Julian Clist to my father-in-law Cyril Chappell relays family details from Julian's uncle Leonard Frank Clist who states that the Shoreditch Smithy was originally part of Lord Portman's estate. I suspected that this was the case, but this is the first mention that I've encountered. Leonard's father was Frank Clist, who was third of six children, not "youngest but one" as stated. When Leonard writes of George and Mark Clist, he is referring to his uncles. When he speaks of Sidney and John Clist in NZ, they are his first cousins. Julian worked for Brinton Carpets (his mother was Anne Brinton) and he met my father-in-law Cyril Chappell of Brisbane who had a carpet business, and the question arose as to my relationship to his line of descent. This correspondence followed as a result. |
| Headstones |
 | George, Mary, and Helen Joy Clist
Headstone for George and Mary Clist, and their daughter Helen Joy Clist. This photo would have been taken soon after the headstone was completed, possibly in 1936. The iron railing is no longer present, but the headstone is well preserved (2018). |

 | The Forge and the Ivy Cottage
This page describes my fascination with two ancestral homes at Shoreditch, Taunton. The Forge was the cottage beside the old Smithy which was once occupied by George and Mary Clist and family, and then by Ted and Emily Rossiter once George and Mary had moved to their new house Ivy Cottage which was built a short distance down the road. Both homes are still there, having passed to new owners; also the old Smithy, but its use has been changed. |

 | Navigating to Shoreditch and Orchard Portman Churchyard
by Roger Clist
Finding the Church of St Michael at Orchard Portman can be very difficult. You can see the church steeple from all around, but no roads seem to lead there. Here are maps and navigation instructions for visiting the Clist graves and homes. Click PDF button to download all pages. |
