Cambridge Chronicle 5th September 1860 p4. Inquest James Kester, a machine man.
An inquest was held before F.Barlow, Esq., Coroner, at Dry Drayton on Thursday last on view of the body of James Kester, machine man, who had been that morning killed by being run over by a straw elevator, drawn by two horses. It appeared that the deceased was going out with his threshing machine, to which three horses were attached and which was standing ready to start in the road opposite his house, waiting for the straw elevator to come up; and to which two young horses belonging to Mr Thompson of Dry Drayton, had been attached. The horses drew the straw elevator quickly out of the field, but when it got onto the hard road it began to rattle, which frightened the horses, and they became restive, and eventually ran away with it. The deceased, hearing something coming along the road at great speed, ran out of his house, to the road, which he had no sooner reached than the horses attached to the straw elevator passed by at full speed, knocking him down and both wheels going over his body, killed him instantly. Verdict, accidental death.

Cambridge Chronicle and Journal - Saturday 5 January 1861 p8 Drunkenness at the Black Horse
Petty Sessions police intelligence. Cambridge Division Petty Sessions, Saturday, December 29th (Before the Rev. J. Thornhill, H. W. Pemberton and R. O. Wale, Esqs.) Wm. Taylor, landlord of the "Black Horse," Dry Drayton, was charged with permitting drunkenness and disorderly conduct in his house, on Sunday last week. Mr. Garratt for the defendant.— William Dewick, labourer, Childerley, said he was at defendant's house on Sunday. He went in about 1 o’clock, and had three or four glasses of rum and two or three of beer. Witness did not pay for any of the grog : his mates, "two Irish chaps", paid for all.— The rum and beer seem to have had a slight effect on witness’ memory, for beyond this he knew nothing further than that he left the house and very soon afterwards measured himself in the dust or rather we should say in the snow — from which position he and his "mates" were rescued by the providential arrival of a policeman.— Defendant has never conducted his house in a loose manner: he has had the "Black Horse" for six years, during which time he has not been complained of. The witness Dewick was taken to the gaol and was given up as beyond cure by Mr. Thurnall. Mr. Stretton, the deputy chief-constable, however, although not a medical man, thought that life might be restored and applied the restoratives generally used in such cases. He also sent for Mr. Bumpstead, by whose assistance the man was restored. The other men soon got over the effect of the rum ; but Dewick had not had any similar stimulant for four years, and hence the consequence. The case against Taylor was dismissed, as it was not proved there had been any disturbance in the house, nor that he had sold an excessive amount of liquor. The magistrates, however, thought it was a very proper case to be brought before them; and highly commended the conduct of the police in the case of Dewick, who had been committed to gaol and was now again at liberty.
Cambridge Independent Press - Saturday 24 August 1861 p5 serious farming accident
We regret to have to record a sad accident which occurred at Dry Drayton, this week, on the farm of Mr. L. E. Barnard. (Where was this?) A labourer, while employed in cutting bands for a steam thrashing machine, by some unfortunate means got his foot among the beaters, when the machine was going at full speed, and his leg completely pulled off from below the knee. He was at once conveyed to Addenbrooke's Hospital, where he received every attention his shocking case required. Amputation at the proper place was skillfully performed by Dr. Humphry, and the poor sufferer is progressing as favourably as can be expected. A similar circumstance occurred at the same farm last year, to a man employed in the same manner; he, however escaped with losing about half a foot. Both accidents occurred the first day of using the machine. These sad accidents ought not to be lost sight of by men employed on machinery. They should act as a caution; for it is really not too much to say that the great majority of these casualties occur through the carelessness of the victims themselves.

Cambridge Chronicle 7th December 1861 p5 Inquest, Thomas Loughton aged 57.
An inquest was held at Dry Drayton, on Friday the 6th inst, before F.Barlow, Esq., on the body of Thomas Laughton, aged 57. The deceased was threshing barley on Wednesday last in a barn on Mr Cole's farm. He was seen in the morning by a boy in the barn on his knees leaning with his hands on the hatch of the barn deer. On going to him it was found he was bleeding from the nose and a quantity of blood was observed on the floor, just under where some barley straw appeared to have slipt from the mow. Up to five years ago he had been subject to fits, and it is supposed that having got up the mow to pull down more barley-straw to thresh he was seized with one of these fits and fell to the floor, on his left temple, which was much swollen and discoloured, and rupturing a blood vessel in the head. Extravasation of blood was produced on the brain, and he died at half past eleven that morning. Verdict, “Accidentally killed by falling from a barley mow”

Cambridge Independent Press - Saturday 6 December 1862 p6 Ploughing Match
The annual gathering of the Oakington, Dry Drayton, and Westwick Agricultural Society took place at Oakington, on Tuesday last. The weather was fine for the occasion, and admirably adapted for ploughing operations. Mr Cole, with his accustomed liberality allowed his land to be used for the contests, for which 29 ploughs were entered. The competitors were upon the ground about 9 o'clock, and set to work in earnest, the majority of the ploughs being used were those of Messrs Howard. The men were occupied for about two hours, but the land was not ploughed in that superior style which ploughmen in neighbouring counties are celebrated for, however, the work was executed in a credible manner and possessed many points worthy of commendation. But if the ploughing was not executed with that perfect skill generally observed at these rural contests, this defect was made up in the draining, which was performed so excellently that no fault could found; in fact it was pronounced to be perfection itself.
The newspaper report detailed all the after dinner toasts and responses. Prizes were awarded by the judges as follows:
First class
1. W.Willimott, employer L.Cole, prize £1.10.0.

Cambridge Independent Press - Saturday 17 December 1864 p8
The annual ploughing and draining matches between the parishes of Oakington, Westwick, Longstanton, and Dry Drayton, took place on Tuesday, the 13th inst., on land in the occupation of Mr. John Papworth. The judges were Mr. Ambrose Gardener and Mr. Chas. Papworth, of Histon. The number of ploughs entered and brought into the competition was 27. At half-past three p.m., the Society with their friends sat down to an excellent dinner, provided for them by Mr. and Mrs. Warboys, landlord and landlady of the Lion and Lamb Inn. Mr. John Linton, of Westwick Hall, occupied the chair, and Mr. Richard Papworth was vice-chairman. After dinner the Chairman proposed "The Queen, the Prince and Princess of Wales, and the of the Royal Family." Mr. Linton proposed the "Judges" (Messrs. Gardener and Papworth). Mr. Gardener thanked them for the compliment, and said that was the fourth year be had been called upon to act as Judge, which shewed that he had given satisfaction, or else they would not wish him to come year after year. Mr. Gardener said that the ploughing was not good; the greater part of it was done very badly, and some of the men ought not to have had any dinner. The draining was very good, and he and his brother judge had great difficulty to tell which really was best; he thought the men ought to have had the prize-money divided amongst them. The Chairman said, that as the work was so badly done, the Committee had agreed not to give such high prizes as they intended. The men were then called in to receive their prizes.

Cambridge Division Petty Sessions, Saturday. May 26. (Before the Revs. J. Thornhill, and C. Warren, Major Pemberton, and T. J. Ficklin, Esq.) Ann Huddleston, of Dry Drayton, a young woman, was charged with having stolen a quantity of calico, some dresses, a petticoat, and 2s, 6d. in money, the property of her mother, on the 16th instant. It appeared from the evidence that some four or five years ago a soldier, belonging to the Marines, was tried for bigamy, and since that time had returned to Dry Drayton, to which parish he belongs, on furlough, and induced the sister of the prisoner to elope with him. They proceeded to Chatham, and upon reaching that town the heartless vagabond turned the poor girl adrift. A few weeks ago the military gentleman again came on furlough to his native village, and formed an acquaintance with the prisoner, who made arrangements to follow in the footsteps of her sister, but preparatory to doing so robbed her mother of the articles specified. Her mother, out of mercy to the girl herself, had her apprehended: and the Bench sentenced her to a month's imprisonment, by which time "the bold son of Mars" will have rejoined his regiment.

Cambridge Division Petty Sessions. Dry Drayton. John Underwood, of the Five Bells, at Dry Drayton, was charged with selling beer at a prohibited time on Sunday, the 8th of November. P.c. Ash visited the house about eleven o'clock in the morning; he had some difficulty in getting admission; when entered he saw the defendant coming from the back door, through which it appeared he had passed three men, into the yard, having supplied them with beer just before doing so. The house is generally well conducted. Fined 5s. and costs.
Dry Drayton. William Chamberlain was charged by William Amps, of Dry Drayton, with using a snare to take game at that parish on Sunday, the 15th November. The defendant is a very old hand at poaching; but some years ago made a promise not to offend again; this he seems to have observed pretty well, but "the ruling passion" has again prevailed, and although he appeared before the Bench in an inebriated condition, he renewed his old promise, and was sent to gaol for ten days, in default of paying a fine - an unusually light punishment for an old offender in such a case.
Dry Drayton. Read Tebbit, farmer, of Dry Drayton, was charged with cruelty to a horse by working the same when it had four open wounds on its shoulders, on the 13th November. P.c. Ash stated that he saw the horse at work in a thrashing machine, and his attention was attracted to it by the flinching manner in which it felt the collar; he examined it and found the wounds before named; the animal was also in a very poor condition. Defendant said the horse had a very thin skin; he had altered the collar to prevent further chafing. It was stated that defendant had been convicted a few months since for similar cruelty. He was now fined 40s. and 14s. costs, the same penalty as was before inflicted on him.

Cambridge Chronicle 2nd January 1869 p5. Presentation to Rev W.Smith.
The Rev W.Smith, having resigned the Rectory of the above Parish, a desire was generally felt to offer some testimonial for his acceptance, as a memento from the parishioners of their grateful remembrance of his unvaried kindness to rich and poor for many years. Instructions were accordingly given to Mr Reed, silversmith, Cambridge, to supply a silver inkstand and a biscuit box, which were, in due course, forwarded to Mr Smith, at his temporary residence at Twickenham, a letter being enclosed from the church-wardens on behalf of the parishioners begging his acceptance of the same. The inkstand bore the following inscription:- “Presented by the Parishioners of Dry Drayton, Cambridgeshire, to their Rector, The Rev Wm Smith, as a small proof of their appreciation of his kind and valuable services, uniformly rendered during a period of 27 years, December 1868”. The rev gentleman in his answer to the churchwardens, acknowledging the safe arrival of the unexpected present, concludes as follows:- “May I ask you to convey to all those who have expressed their kind feelings towards my family and myself, by word or deed, our deep felt gratitude for their great kindness, and our prayers that all things in this world may so work together for their good as to help them forward to that better world, which we all hope one day to attain”. In all matters connected with the Parish, the Rev W.Smith has always taken a most lively interest, a visible and substantial proof of which is to be seen in the fine old church, which, a few years since, was completely restored at his own expense: the greater part is being rebuilt and the interior totally reseated. As a County Magistrate, it is needless to say how universally he was esteemed and respected by all who were bought into contact with him in that capacity. Indeed we may say he was a veritable exemplification of everything befitting an English Gentleman of the good old school; his courteous manner and hospitable nature winning him golden opinions from everyone, frequently to be seen in the country lane or the various towns in the neighborhood, his pleasing face was one which will long be missed, but never forgotten. The new rector is the Rev W.M.Frost, at present residing in the Isle of Wight, and who is not expected to come into residence for several weeks. The Parish has, in the meantime, been placed under the charge of the Rev C.H.Crosse of Cambridge.

Cambridge Chronicle and Journal - Saturday 13 March 1869 p3 Theft of trees
Cambridge Division Petty Sessions, Dry Drayton. The charge against Thomas Haynes, gardener, Fenstanton, for stealing five growing plum trees, the property of James Howard, Dry Drayton, came on for hearing again, when the prosecutor produced Henry Warren, gardener to Messrs. Wood and Ingram, Huntingdon, who said could identify one of the trees from the manner in which it had overswelled the stock In grafting, which, however, he admitted could occur in other persons' trees; but it was a very singular instance, inasmuch as the tree had been grafted on an Improper stock. In defence Haynes said he bought the trees at Hemingford, of a Mr. Reed, but who was dead. The Bench convicted the defendant and fined him £3, cos’s £l 17s. 6d. and damages 5s., or 6 weeks’ imprisonment, with hard labour.
Cambridge Chronicle 3rd April 1869 p8, Supper.
The Rev C.H.Crosse who has been in charge of this Parish for some five or six months past and is now about to cease from his duties in consequence of the new Rector coming into residence, very kindly invited the Church Choir to a feast, in the shape of a supper on Easter Monday evening. Between forty and fifty pounds of beef, with numberless plum puddings and a bountiful supply of ale was the good old English fare provided. They assembled at the Rectory at seven o’clock and grace having been sung, they quickly proceeded to do full justice to the good things put before them. After supper an entertainment, consisting of vocal and instrumental music was provided for their amusement, in which Mr and Mrs Crosse Mr J.Pratt and other friends took part, Mrs Crosse kindly singing several songs. Some instrumental trios for the violin, cornet and piano were well rendered Mr W. Swornsbourne gained great applause for his “Cuckoo Solo” on the violin and Mr Pratt’s comic song caused great amusement and laughter. After the programme was bought to a conclusion, the Rev C Crosse made a short but impressive address to the choir, touching first on their good behaviour at church, not that he desired to praise them for behaving well in the house of God, for it was their duty to do so. He went on then to say that he was pleased on looking over the book in which the attendance was marked, to find that, out of the thirty seven that composed the choir, ten had been present at every practice and every service; and that many others had only been absent once. He was glad also to have an opportunity of testifying to the great attention Mr Jabez Pratt had paid to his duties as organist and choir-master; as soon as he (Mr C) was placed in charge of the parish he had engaged Mr Pratt’s services to form and train a choir, and he was bound to say that he had succeeded almost beyond what could have been expected in so short a time. In conclusion Mr Crosse said he hoped the choir would continue to improve and that at no distant time he should see them taking part in the festivals that were held at Cambridge and Ely. The National Anthem was sung by all present and the evenings proceedings were bought to a close about ten o’clock by some hearty cheers for Mr and Mrs Crosse and for Mr and Mrs Reynolds who kindly lent a very excellent piano for the occasion.
Cambridge Chronicle 8th May 1869 p8 Testimonial to Rev C.H.Crosse

The Chairman said the friends would, also, have to pay the expenses, and if this were not done, the defendants would be again be brought up at the expiration of the three weeks, and the magistrates would then adjudicate the case.

Adjourned Licensing Meeting of the Cambridge Petty Sessional Division. Dry Drayton. The Black Horse, Dry Drayton. William Taylor made application for a renewal of his license of the above ale-house at the last meeting, when a conviction of wife beating was proved against him, and the applicant was said to be of dissolute habits.

Cambridge Chronicle 23 October 1869 p4. Harvest Festival
The improvement of the moral and religious condition of this parish, commenced about a year ago by the Rev C.H.Crosse, and so well continued by the new rector, the Rev G.M.Frost, was made subject of rejoicing on Thursday when the Rector entertained the parish choir and school with a substantial banquet and out door games.

A concert in aid of the choir fund will be given in the school room on Tuesday Nov 9th at 7pm. Mr Jabez Pratt, the efficient choir master has secured the assistance of able vocalists and instrumentalists.
Cambridge Chronicle 13th November 1869
A concert in aid of the Dry Drayton Choir was given to a crowded audience in the Schoolroom, Dry Drayton, on Tuesday last, under the management of Mr J.Pratt of Cambridge. The programme comprised of a good selection of both vocal and instrumental music, although the latter was chosen with better judgement and more skillfully executed, as in our opinion the omission of a song or two in the music hall style, however suited to the popular taste, might have been attended with advantage. The rendering of a fantasia “Il Trovatore” by Messrs Hunt (violin) and Pratt (pianoforte), was the best performance of the evening, the former gentleman proving himself a player of no mean pretentions, while we can accord no greater praise to Mr Pratt, than by saying that he was in his usual form. Well merited encores (or words to that effect plentifully rained down by the Gods above) were accorded to Messrs D’Este and Punt for their admirable singing throughout the programme . Messrs Laughton, Dewberry and Pratt also receiving ovations for the display of their comic powers. On the whole, Mr Pratt and his friends richly deserved the thanks they got on all sides, as nothing was wanting to complete the success of the evening, but the absence of the rector (Mr W.M.Frost) who we regret to say, was prevented from attending by a severe attack of illness.
