14 Market Square

14 Market Square consists of two separate but interconnected buildings: the large 3-storey shop (best known as Turnham's or The Grapevine) on the corner next to The George in the centre of the photo above, and the adjacent 4-storey building, The Bakery from the 1950s-80s, now numbered 14C. The latter is described in its listing report as "early C19" but in fact it was "nearly new" in 1873, in an unusual mock-Georgian style. The large shop is listed as "Mid-late C18" but according to Alan Wigley (A Window on Winslow, p.27) "the rendering covers Tudor framing and brickwork". The east end of 12 Market Square appears to have been truncated, and it seems likely that part of it was separated during the 18th century, attached to no.14, then demolished and replaced with the 4-storey building. Along with The George, these shops form an early encroachment into the open space of the original Market Square.

Buckingham Express, 14-28 Nov 1891
  MR. MINTER, Master of the Winslow Workhouse has started a subscription on behalf of Mr. Thomas Simons, hairdresser, formerly of Winslow, and now living in very reduced circumstances in Birmingham.  Some time back Simons, while ill in bed, was robbed of nearly everything in the house by a man and woman whom he had engaged to look after his business.
  Poor Mr. Simons, who was for many years barber, hairdresser, shopkeeper, and subsequently innkeeper in Winslow, has fallen upon evil days of poverty and misfortune in Birmingham.  Mr. Minter…is acting the part of a ‘true Christian’ …in collecting some money for Simons from those who remember him, as very many do.  He was a “character” and in his better days appeared prosperous and well-to-do, but he changed and changed and is now at a very low ebb. Very many of our readers will have a kind thought for their bustling fellow-townsman, and will perhaps send Mr. Minter a few contributions to help on his good and sympathetic plan,
  MR. MINTER...asks us to…thank all those subscribers who have so warmly responded to his appeal on behalf of Thomas Simons.  Mr. Minter has received the following letter from Simons:- “Dear Sir,- Your kind and welcome letter safe to hand.  It is a God-send to me in my trouble.  I do thank you and all the friends who have helped me.  If I could but shave I could do well now, but my right hand has failed me, so I do the housework and conduct the shop as well as I can.”  Between £5 and £6 was forwarded by Mr. Minter.

William Turnham (1850-1937)

William Turnham outside the Bakery at 10 Horn Street, 1930

William Turnham was born in 1850 in Sheep Street. His father John took over the Bakery at 10 Horn Street in 1866. William went to school at Grace’s Academy where he was a contemporary of the future playwright Henry Arthur Jones.  William and his wife Mary lived at 14 Market Square, which they ran as a confectioner's shop, and inherited the bakery business when John Turnham died in 1894. Their son Harry then had his photography studio at 14 Market Square, and Harry's wife Hetty ran the confectioner's.

William was an active Liberal and Congregationalist, a member of the Bucks Volunteers and won many trophies for rifle-shooting. He was best known for his poetry about Winslow, and in 1932 published Turnham's All Sorts. Click on the image on the left to see a poem which he wrote in 1909, copied out in his own writing. Click here for the poem which he wrote about the church clock in 1918. Thanks to Ed Grimsdale for some of the information above.

Mr. W. Turnham, who has succeeded to the poetic mantle at one time worn by the late Mr. Henry Wigley, at Winslow, entertained a large number of people at the Congregational Schoolroom there last week by giving selections from his compositions, some of which have appeared in London magazines.  His themes were varied, ranging from Spelling-bees to Fire Brigades and Rifle Corps of the past, down to the New Woman of today;  with other pieces, both grave and gay.   They certainly were very much appreciated by the audience, the Chairman remarking that he had seen plenty of published pieces which were not equal to Mr. Turnham’s.

I note, by the way, that one of Mr. Turnham’s ancestors was residing at Buckingham as early as 1676, when a John Turnham sold 9 acres of arable land situate in Churchway Furlong to the trustees for the endowment of Buckingham Vicarage.  Thomas Turnham, too, was Mayor of Buckingham in 1720 and again in 1726.
