*James Frederick's parents were John Gardiner from Souldern, Oxfordshire, and Susannah Stockley - hence Richard's middle name. He was working away the day the picture was taken so the photographer's assistant stood in for him and they later took a head and shoulder of JF and superimposed it. PhotoShop techniques are not new!

# Frederick Gardner was a blacksmith in Deddington and made the metal flags on top of the church tower.

The family owned a Thomas Fardon I Long case clock
