Well now, I'm about to relate to you the whole of my life story,
and I can assure you that it will be a true one.
I was born at Benenden, Standen Street, in the old Leasden House.
My father, he worked under the Wesley family for forty-seven years and he never had a day off.
His job was groom gardener,
but like all other men on these farms, you kept getting it piled on to you
and finally he had to look after the cows, pigs, and everything else,
and soon as ever I got just big enough I had to go over there and help him, Saturdays and whenever I was at home.
And uh, it was all jolly hard work,
I could never carry a full bucket of water because I wadn't big enough.
But however, I used to struggle in to the old cows and bullocks and help Father all I could,
and help him cut up the chaff with an old horse bi the name of Boxer,
and finally it got that I got just man enough to be houseboy.
Then I had to go round and help with the house,
and chop up the wood and such like, and do all odd jobs, run errands, and post the letters, and sometimes go and meet the postman.
Well as time went on, I got little better man,
and they wanted a carter boy to go with the old carter and the horses, so they put me along with him.
I didn't want the job, I told Father I didn't want the carter boy job.
He said, You go and do as you're told.
And in them days it was discipline, no back answers, you had to do as you was told.
Anyhow, I went along with this old man, old Mr Barnes, he was a nice old man,
never heard that man swear in my life, I didn't,
and I never known him to grumble.
If there was anything you didn't do quite right, he'd always got patience enough to tell you about it.
Used to have a team of four great horses
and one of'em was very bad tempered, oh it was old Boxer, he'd bite you, he bit me several times.
He'd come right at you, he would, with his mouth wide open,
and he'd have you if you didn't get out of the way pretty quick.
But anyhow, I got wide-o to him,
I hit him one day when he come to me, I met him and I hit him right up the face with the butt of the whip.
He didn't come for me anymore.
But anyhow, we used to have to go to work and do the ploughing with'em, one in front of the other in them days,
and the old mare on the front, her name was Violet, I remember,
she was a rat-tailed old mare, she hadn't got any hair on her tail, only on the end,
and her name was Violet,
and that old mare, she knew far more about it than what I knew.
I used to have to hold the whip both hands if the wind blowed to keep it upright, this great long old whip, ten foot long.
But anyhow, I used to have to drive these horses,
and when they got out at the end, 'course that old mare knew her job, she used to go out and come back round again and off back up the furrow again.
And we used to have to go down to a, a field, down the lower end of the farm.
There was seven acres in it,
and we'd got to plough that in six days.
That had to be done by Saturday night.
We used to get out at seven o'clock in the morning,
and unyoke at four in the afternoon.
And then carry on and clean'em, groom'em, cut chaff and various jobs, till tea time.
And then he would stop there till six o'clock and see to'em,
then I had to go back and stop there with'im till eight o'clock,
finish up what jobs there was,
and feed'em and water'em, and put their beds down and so on for the night.
And I had to be up there-- up again half past six the next morning, ready for the next day's work.
I know sometimes when hop picking time, they used to grow a lot of hops in those days,
and uh, it was almost a constant job to and fro to Cranbrook station.
We used to start off at midnight,
and get down in the station so as to be first, or amongst the first,
and we was generally the first one down there.
I put the horses' nose bag on down in Cranbrook station at two o'clock in the morning.
And 'course you was the first one to get unloaded,
or else that meant staying about there perhaps till seven o'clock that night.
I've seen hops all the way from the station right up to the old Hartley pub there, one load behind the other,
and some of'em, that was pretty late in the evening before they got away,
but we used to get back home again.
And I remember once when we went home, he said, well now, he said, when you've had a bit to eat, he said, you'd better go out to the forest and green and get a load of brush for the hop pickers.
That was for their fires.
So we had to go out to the forest and green there and, up in the wood, and get five hundred of brush.
And then we had to come home and unload them.
He'd tell you there was a load of hops ready for you to go away with the next morning.
That meant start tw--, by twelve o'clock again at night.
And that's how that used to go on all through the hop picking.
I never saw any money for it.
I worked hard and long days at home, but I never saw any money.
Well as time went on I got a bit dissatisfied.
My chums, they'd always got a few shillings when they went out,
they'd always got something to spend, but I hadn't,
and I told my mother, I said, I think I'd ought to have a little money, I said, All my pals have got some.
And uh, Oh, she said, You must remember where your bread's a-buttered, she said, You can't have it, she said, We can't afford it, she said, Probably they're better off than we are,
but they wadn't, you know, they didn't get any more money than my father did, but...
Anyhow, I could never get any money out of her.
If there was a few coppers we'd always've a lot of rankling about it,
and one day I got a bit cheeky, something went wrong with my employer and me and he told me I'd better find a fresh job.
And that was the best thing that ever happened to me in my life.
And Father, he come home, and he grumbled and groused at me rather about it,
but my brother Bob, he come down a few nights afterwards
and he said he'd heard of a job at Cranbrook under Mr Chopman, carter boy over there.
So that's where I went and I lodged wi-- 'long with Mr Rickman and his wife, he was carter.
And eh, I had ten bob a week,
and eh, I paid them seven and sixpence for my lodgings.
That left me half a crown to clothe myself and find my boots and one thing and the other.
However, that went on for some time, and when I went away, my old mother, she never put much in my clothes box.
Well I don't suppose she'd got the money to get it, or I remember I never had much.
But anyhow eh, my boots, they begun to get pretty dilapidated,
and he said to me, Well, I don't know, Boy, he said, You want a new pair of boots? I said, Yes, I keep getting wet foot.
He said, You'd better go down to Marchant and Tubbs,
that was a shop down in Cranbrook,
and he said, That's where I always have my clothes, So you go down there and, and tell'im you want a new pair of boots.
He said, You give'im what money you've got, he said, and tell'im you'll pay the rest when you've saved it up.
I went down there and I asked him for this pair of boots, and he wouldn't hear of it.
Well I went back home again, up to where I lodged,
and he said, What's the matter with you boy?
I said, Well he wouldn't let me have them boots, I said, I be afraid I'll have to manage with what I got.
He said, You won't, you know, he said.
He put on his jacket, Where's my jacket, Mother, he said.
And he put on his jacket, he went down there, he come back with them boots.
He said, If that man hadn't'a let you had them boots, he said, I'd'a never bought nothing else off him.
So uh that went on, and as time went on, 'course I didn't spend anything then much, I used to keep putting this half a crown away till I got a few shillings together to buy what little bits I wanted.
But I was a long time, you know, getting myself clothed up.
And of course mi shirts and that, they wore out,
and, the landlady, she was good enough, used to wash'em and iron'em and get'em all ready for me,
they, they was more or less like a father and mother to me.
Well that man, he was a marvellous chap, great big fellow he was.
And he told me that during his young days, he said, We was like you, he said, We didn't have a bit more than enough.
He said, I remember one Sunday morning, he said, Laying a-bed, he said, Mother wouldn't let us get up.
She told us to lay there till she'd got the breakfast ready.
He said, And when we did get up and went down to our breakfast, he said, It was a, a suet pudding and a swede turnip.
He said, That was our breakfast, he said, That's all the grub there was in the house.
However, he said, As time went on, he said, We grabbled about and one went away from home and got a job and went away, and another one, he said, And we got through life somehow.
But that just tells you how hard that life was in those days.
And that man, after living like that, he grew into a man strong enough and big enough that he would carry a barrel of brimstone,
he'd take that out of the waggon and carried it in the oast-house, and that weighed four hundredweight.
But he was a nice chap.
I worked with him until finally he, ehm, carried on,
I remember once, well we'd always got one mare there that used to breed a foal every year.
Well of course the time come along when she'd got to rest,
and eh, I, eh, was set to work with them two old oxen.
I didn't know nothing about'em, I'd been used to bullocks and that all my life,
I wadn't afraid of'em,
but eh I didn't know nothing what to say to'em or do or anything,
and Mr Chopman said, You'd better go and get them old oxen first, he said, You go round to George Head, he said, He'll tell you how to go on.
He was stockman, he used to work'em sometimes.
Well I went round the buildings and found him and we went out into the orchard,
and soon as we went in the gate the old bullocks, they begun to saunter away up towards us,
and he put the yoke on one of'em, that was old Winch, the one that worked the off-side,
and he held the end up and pulled the bow out, and Winder, he come sauntering up under the yoke, and he yoked him up.
There, he said, That's how you do that job.
He said, I never show anybody anything, only once.
I said, Alright.
So he had the old bullocks out,
and he had'em up to the cart,
and they walked round, one of them did, the off-bullock, and stepped over the nib and they stood theirselves in position
and he went up between'em and lifted the old pole up and put the plug in.
Now, he said, there's one thing you want to remember, he said, When you put that plug in, he said, tie it in with that bit of thong, he said, 'Cause that might drop out.
However, that went on, and I had these old bullocks, I had to go in the yard with a lot of cart, with some litter in there, you know, when they got dirty, straw and one thing and the other, and...
I know when I first went to go through the gate I got up against the post.
I assumed as if I wanted to get hold of'em like I did with the horses,
but that didn't work.
So after that I walked through myself and they used to come through alright, they would never to-- run into anything.
However, I carried on with these old oxen,
and then they'd got an old horse bi the name of Captain, he was very very deaf,
and I used to dress all the corn,
I used to have the old horse hooked on in front of'em and a long pole on him to lead'im, to guide him,
and I had these two old oxen on the roll, and the dredge coming along behind, I used to dress all the corn like that.
Marvellous old things to work with.
Now I carried on there till such times that they took over Sissinghurst Castle and Bettingham Farm.
And they wanted me to go down there with'em.
So I went down there and lodged with one of the workmen down there,
and I carried on there till finally I thought to myself, well I'll get married and settle myself down.
So I was twenty-two years of age then,
and uh he said to me, well, I told him I was gonna get married,
and he said, Well, he said, There's nowhere for you to live, he said, Only in the old tower.
Well, I said, That'd be alright I think.
Well, he said, I'll have it all done out for you.
That was in the old tower at Sissinghurst Castle there.
So he had it all done out and that was my first home. In a castle.
And I paid a shilling a week rent.
'Tidn't everybody in my circumstances has lived in a castle for a shilling a week, is it?
However, that went on for some time,
and finally there was all sorts of tales about it,
and my first wife, she got pretty nervous about it,
and uh, we'd got a little dog, I think that heaped the coals on the fire.
One night we lost this little dog,
and all of a sudden I said to her, I said, Well where's Stumpy?
Said she didn't know.
Well, I said, She must be here somewhere, I said, she couldn't have gone out, 'cause the door was shut.
Hunted all round, finally I went right up to the top in our bedroom,
and I met that little dog coming down.
That had got down, oh six or seven steps perhaps, from the top, or a little further,
and she was standing there shivering and shaking, foaming at the mouth, she seemed frightened out of her life.
Well I picked her up in mi arms and stroked her and asked her what was the matter and brought her down.
And uh, after I got her down, you know, she licked herself and that, and she seemed to come round alright,
now, whether that dog saw anything or whatnot I don't know.
But I have heard tales since that, a dog can always see these things where a human being can't.
But anyhow, finally we came away from there and that was it.
And here I am now, back more or less on my own ground, not far from Benenden,
and I'm enjoying life very well up to the present.
I feel well and I keep carrying on.
My eighty-seventh birthday'll fall next October,
and up till last summer I worked twenty yard of allotment,
and I was pretty fond of my garden, but I think I shall give it up now, have a rest, let somebody else carry on.
[INTERVIEWER] Was it more difficult working with oxen than with horses?
Well no, I don't think it was.
For one thing, they were more obedient than a horse.
If you said anything to'em they would respond.
A horse, sometimes, they are very self-willed, or a lot of them are,
although there is some, I've had some horses almost like a human being, they seemed to know pretty near as much as you knew yourself.
But a bullock, if you, what I mean to say, treated him right, you didn't dare be unkind to'im, to make'im nervous,
but if you treated'em right I always thought they was more obedient than a horse.
'Course we always worked two together.
And the off-bullock never only had one syllable in his name.
Hence Winch and Winder, Pink and Piny, such names as that.
[INTERVIEWER] Is that so y--, they knew the difference if you called them?
Called them. Yes, and they would always know their place.
That off-bullock, if you was going to yoke them up, he'd always be the first one to come to you,
and his mate, he knew, he might be back there amongst all the others, but he'd find his way up there.
They was mates together and that's how they always worked.
I remember once at Sissinghurst Castle ploughing a bit of ground down there, I had to bust this piece of ground up for to plant kale,
and I had one of the old-fashioned wooden ploughs, no wheels on it, just the foot,
and uh I had the two old oxen, one bullock in the furrow and one out, and the horses out of the furrow, they'd fo--, walk along and follow the edge of that furrow,
and I ploughed all that frog mead piece, oh several acres of it, with two horses and two oxen.
Used to always have the oxen behind on the plough, all there was in it you had to give them time to pull out at the end, because they was a bit slow.
[INTERVIEWER] You ploughed with horses and oxen at the same time?
Yes. Yeah. Oh they wouldn't hurt a horse, they wouldn't gore him or anything like that.
They'd walk along, they used to work together alright. Yeah.
[INTERVIEWER] When did you last work with oxen on the land?
Yes. The only trouble with oxen was in wet, if the land was wet.
Now where they took their front foot out, they put their hind foot in,
they always do that, a bullock does, if he's walking, if you notice, and of course that trod the ground in such holes.
We never used to have them on the land when it was very very wet.
We used to have them now clearing the yards out, all the manure come out of the yards after the bullocks had been in there all the winter.
[INDISTINCT] They would always have you run on top of their mixon as we used to call it, the lump, and eh, to keep it tight so that it shouldn't ferment.
And, eh, sometimes if that was left a day or two, when you went up on that, they would go right down through it.
I've had them old bullocks sometimes, one of'em'd go right down in up to his belly.
Well the only thing to do was to shelve the cart up, take all the weight off their neck
and then tell them to start, and the one that was on the top, well he'd pull the other one out.
Oh yeah they'd pull one another out.
'Course if you got a horse down in, mired in like that, that was a nasty business.
You had to get his cart out of the way and more or less dig him out. Yes.
But they were marvellous farmers, the Chopman brother.
There was a thousand acres of it all told.
Used to start off in the morning, you'd alwa-- we always had to plough an acre,
it was the stumps round the field, used to have to plough from stump to stump.
They used to give you extra time to plough the outside.
But we always had to plough an acre. Seven inches deep, ten inches wide.
You've got to keep away from the edge, otherwise you wouldn't get it, especially in a short corner when you first started perhaps.
If you've got the full length of the field, then you could go a bit steadier. Three horses abreast. Yeah.
[INTERVIEWER] How would you do round the outside, did you, did you dig round the outside at all with spades?
Well yes, I, they used to dig the corners out, you know, where you couldn't plough in those days,
but we used to plough it all, most of it, keep going round and round till you'd ploughed it all you see. Yeah.
In those days, well, a workman's wage was about fifteen bob a week, you got on some farms, they'd give you fifteen shillings a week,
but more or less a lot of them only got thirteen shillings you know.
That wadn't a lot for a man to keep his wife and family on, was it?
'Course they never paid any rent much, a couple of bob perhaps, eighteen pence, a couple of bob, hm.
[INTERVIEWER] Was it slower ploughing with oxen than with horses?
Well, I don't know.
I wouldn't, I think I would rather have a team of oxen than horses because they're steadier, and they always, uh, you've always got that bit of a sway, you got used to it,
and eh, well I think it was easier really, 'cause you, you sort of always knew what they was going to do.
'Course a, a lot of these properly worked horses, they never make a mistake, not all day long,
but I think I would prefer oxen. Hm.
They're very easily and quickly subdued you know.
If you got a pair of oxen out, got'em roped to a post or something where you could get hold of'em and get the yoke on'em,
and then hook'em on to something heavy that they couldn't move,
and hook the other old oxen on in front of'em,
well you had to more or less drag them about,
but, if they had a day at that, they was, you know, pretty well cobbled, they, they didn't want to cut up rough not much the next day.
They used to very soon get out of breath and hang their old tongues out.
Sometimes we've had'em sulk and lay down,
we used to go down to a stream if you was anywhere near one
and get a little old tin or a bottle or something, drop of water in it, put a few drops in their ear, they pretty soon jump up.
They didn't like that. Yeah.
They was faithful old things though.
I always liked them.
Only 'course these days, oh, they wouldn't, wouldn't be fast enough, nothing is fast enough today.
[INTERVIEWER] When did you last work with them on the land?
Pardon?
[INTERVIEWER] How, when did they disappear from the land?
Yeah, oh well now, I should think it was, I don't actually know, but I should think it was at the beginning of the last war, when these tractors begun come about.
That's when I think they was more or less disarmed.
Because Sissinghurst Castle, that was the last place down here in the south of England that oxen was worked. Yes.
[INTERVIEWER] So you--
And eh, I think that was about the time that they, you know, went out, yeah.
I've got a photograph of them two old oxen back there.
And eh, 'course these tractors and that pushed the horses and the oxen off the farms.
Although at certain parts of the country I understand that they still work oxen.
I saw a photograph in the paper some time ago where a man was breaking two in to go in a ploughing match.
And he was driving them on a line like we used to hold the horses.
I often wonder how he got on with it, but it was quite interesting.
[INTERVIEWER] Did you used to enter ploughing matches when you were working with them?
Well we never, we used to have a bit of a ploughing match, like, but never, I never went there with our oxen. No.
We used to take'em down to the horse show, a couple of them for, just for a bit of an exhibition.

I
could
never

I
wadn't

day-s
it
was
discipline
no

you
had

was
very
bad tempered

oh
it
was
old
Boxer

he

bite
you

he
bit
me
several
time-s

he

come
right
at

would
with
his

wide
open

and
he

have
you

if
you
did-n't
get
out
of
the
way
pretty
quick

anyhow
I
got
wide-o
to
him

I
hit
him
one
day

when
he
come
to
me

I
met
him

and
I
hit
him
right
up
the
face
with
the
butt
of
the
whip

he
did-n't
come
for
me
anymore

anyhow
we
used

have
to
go
to
work

and
0
do
the
ploughing
with

one
in

of
the
other
in
them
day-s

and
the
old
mare
on
the
front
her
name
was
Violet
I
remember

she
was
a
rat-tailed
old
mare
#
she
had-n't
got
any
hair
on
her
tail
only
on
the
end

and
her
name
was
Violet

and
that
old
mare
she
knew
far
more
about
it

what
I
knew

I
used
to
have
to
hold
the
whip
both
hand-s

if
the
wind
blow-ed
#
0
to
keep
it
upright
this
great
long
old
whip
ten
foot
long

but
anyhow
I
used
to
have
to
drive
these
horse-s
#
and
#
when
they
got
out
at
the
end
%
'course
that
old
mare
knew
her
job

used
to
go
out

0
come
back
round
again

and
0
off
back
up

and
we
used
to
have
to
go
down
to
a
a
field
down
the
low-er
end
of
the
farm

there
was
seven
acre-s
in
it

and
we

got
to
plough
that
in
six
day-s

that
had
to
be
done
by
Saturday night

used

up
there
up
again
half
past
six
the
next
morning
ready
for
the
next
day='s
work
#
I
know
#
sometimes
when
hop picking time
they
used
to
grow
a
lot
of
hops
in
those
day-s
#
and
uh
it
was
almost
a
constant
job
to
and
fro
to
Cranbrook station

we
used
to
start
off
at
midnight

and
0
get
down
in
the
station

so
as
0
to
be
first
or
amongst
the
first

and
we
was
generally
the
first
one
down
there
#
I
put
the
horse-s'
nose bag
on
down
in
Cranbrook station
at
two
o'clock
in
the
morning

and
'course
you
was
the
first
one

0
to
get
unload-ed

or
else
that
meant

0
stay-ing
about
there
perhaps
till
seven
o'clock
that
night
#
I
='ve
seen
hops
all
the
way
from
the
station
right
up
to
the
old
Hartley pub
there
one
load
behind
the
other
#
and
some
of
='em
that
was
pretty
late
in
the
evening
#
before
they
got
away
#
but
we
used
to
get
back
home
again
#
and
I
remember
#
once
#
when
we
went
home
%
he
said
well
now
#
he
said
#
when
you
='ve
had
a
bit
to
eat
#
he
said
#
you
='d
better
go
out
to
the
forest
and
green
#
and
0
get
a
load
of
brush
for
the
hop picker-s
#
that
was
for
their
fire-s
#
so
we
had
to
go
out
to
the
forest
and
green
there
and
up
in
the
wood
#
and
0
get
five hundred
of
brush
#
and
then
we
had
to
come
home
#
and
0
unload
them
#
he
='d
tell
you
#
there
was
a
load
of
hops
ready
for
you
#
0
to
go
away
with
0
the
next
morning
#
that
meant
#
0
start
tw--
by
twelve
o'clock
again
at
night
#
and
that
='s
#
how
that
used
to
go
on
all
through
the
hop picking
#
I
never
saw
any
money
for
it
#
I
work-ed
hard
and
long
day-s
at
home
#
but
I
never
saw
any
money
#
well
#
as
time
went
on
%
I
got
a
bit
dissatisfied
#
my
chum-s
they
='d
always
got
a
few
shilling-s
#
when
they
went
out
#
they
='d
always
got
something
#
0
to
spend

but
I
had-n't
0
#
and
I
told
my
mother

I
said

I
think
#
I
='d
ought
to
have
a
little
money

I
said

all
my
pal-s
have
got
some
#
and
uh
oh
she
said

you
must
remember

where
your
bread

she
said
#
you
can't
have
it

we
can't
afford
it

she
said
#
probably
they
='re
better
off

than
we
are
0
#
but
they
wadn't
0
you
know
#
they
did-n't
get
any
more
money
#
than
my
father
did
0
but
#
anyhow
I
could
never
get
any
money
out
of
her

#
if
there
was
a
few
copper-s
%
we
='d
always
='ve
a
lot
of
rankling
about
it
#
and
one
day
I
got
a
bit
cheeky
#
something
went
wrong
with
my
employer
and
me
#
and
he
told
me
#
I
='d
better
find
a
fresh
job

and
that
was
the
best
thing
#
that
0
ever
happen-ed
to
me
in
my
life

and
Father
he
come
home

and
he
grumble-d

and
0
grouse-d
at
me
rather
about
it

but
my
brother
Bob

come
down
a
few
night-s
afterwards

and
he
said

he
='d
heard
of
a

about
#
and
one
went
away
from
home
#
and
0
got
a
job
#
and
0
went
away
and
another
one
#
he
said
#
and
we
got
through
life
somehow
#
but
that
just
tell-s
you
#
how
hard
that
life
was
in
those
day-s
#
and
that
man
#
after
0
living
like
that
%
he
grew
into
a
man
strong
enough
and
big
enough
#
that
he
would
carry
a
barrel
of
brimstone
#
he
='d
take
that
out
of
the
waggon
#
and
0
carried
it
in
the
oast-house
#
and
that
weigh-ed
four
hundredweight
#
but
he
was
a
nice
chap
#
I
work-ed
with
him
#
until
finally
he
ehm
carried
on
#
I
remember
once
well
we
='d
always
got
one
mare
there
#
that
0
used
to
breed
a
foal
every
year
#
well
of
course
the
time
come
along
#
when
she
='d
got
to
rest
#
and
eh
I
eh
was
set
#
0
to
work
with
them
two
old
oxen
#
I
did-n't
know
nothing
about
='em
#
I
='d
been
used
to
bullock-s
and
that
all
my
life
#
I
wadn't
afraid
of
='em
#
but
eh
I
did-n't
know
nothing
#
what
0
to
say
to
='em
#
or
0
do
or
anything
#
and
Mr Chopman
said
#
you
='d
better
go
get
them
old
oxen
first
#
he
said
#
you
go
round
to
George Head
#
he
said
#
he
='ll
tell
you
#
how
0
to
go
on
#
he
was
stockman
#
he
used
to
work
='em
sometimes
#
well
I
went
round
the
building-s
#
and
0
found
him
#
and
we
went
out
into
the
orchard
#
and
#
soon
as
we
went
in
the
gate
%
the
old
bullock-s
they
begun
#
0
to
saunter
away
up
towards
us
#
and
he
put
the
yoke
on
one
of
='em
#
that
was
old
Winch
the
one
#
that
0
work-ed
the
off-side
#
and
he
held
the
end
up
#
and
0
pull-ed
the
bow
out
#
and
Winder
he
come
saunter-ing
up
under
the
yoke
#
and
he
yoke-d
him
up
#
there
he
said
#
that
='s
#
how
you
do
that
job
#
he
said
#
I
never
show
anybody
anything
only
once
#
I
said
alright
#
so
he
had
the
old
bullock-s
out
#
and
he
had
='em
up
to
the
cart
#
and
they
walk-ed
round
one
of
them
did
the
off-bullock
#
and
0
stepped
over
the
nib
#
and
they
stood
theirselves
in
position
#
and
he
went
up
between
='em
#
and
0
lift-ed
the
old
pole
up
#
and
0
put
the
plug
in
#
now
he
said
#
there
='s
one
thing
#
0
you
want
#
0
to
remember
0
#
he
said
#
#
when
you
put
that
plug
in
#
he
said
%
0
tie
it
in
with
that
bit
of
thong
#
he
said
#
'cause
that
might
drop
out
#
however
that
went
on
#
and
I
had
these
old
bullock-s
#
I
had
to
go
in
the
yard
with
a
lot
of
cart
with
some
litter
in
there
you
know
#
when
they
got
dirty
%
straw
and
one
thing
and
the
other
and
#
I
know
#
#
when
I
first
went
#
0
to
go
through
the
gate
%
I
got
up
against
the
post
#
I
assume-d
#
as
if
I
want-ed
#
0
to
get
hold
of
='em
#
like
I
did
0
with
the
horse-s
#
but
that
did-n't
work
#
so
after
that
I
walk-ed
through
myself
#
and
they
used
to
come
through
alright
#
they
would
never
to--
run
into
anything
#
however
I
carried
on
with
these
old
oxen
#
and
then
they
='d
got
an
old
horse
bi
the
name
of
Captain
#
he
was
very
very
deaf
#
and
I
used
to
dress
all
the
corn
#
I
used
to
have
the
old
horse
#
0
hook-ed
on
in
front
of
='em
%
and
a
long
pole
on
him
#
0
to
lead
='im
#
0
to
guide
him
#
and
I
had
these
two
old
oxen
on
the
roll
and
the
dredge
#
0
coming
along
behind
#
I
used
to
dress
all
the
corn
like
that
#
0
marvellous
old
thing-s
#
to
work
with
#
now
I
carried
on
there
till
such
time-s
#
that
they
took
over
Sissinghurst Castle
and
Bettingham Farm
#
and
they
want-ed
me
#
0
to
go
down
there
with
='em
#
so
I
went
down
there
#
and
0
lodge-d
with
one
of
the
workmen
down
there
#
and
I
carried
on
there
#
till
finally
I
thought
to
myself
#
well
I
='ll
get
married
#
and
0
settle
myself
down
#
so
I
was
twenty-two
year-s
of
age
then
#
and
uh
he
said
to
me
#
well
I
told
him
#
I
was
gonna
get
married
#
and
he
said
well
#
he
said
#
there
='s
nowhere
for
you
#
0
to
live
#
he
said
%
only
in
the
old
tower
#
well
I
said
#
#
that
='d
be
alright
%
I
think
#
well
he
said
#
I
='ll
have
it
all
#
0
done
out
for
you
#
that
was
in
the
old
tower
at
Sissinghurst Castle
there
#
so
he
had
it
all
#
0
done
out
#
and
that
was
my
first
home
in
a
castle
#
and
I
paid
a
shilling
a
week
rent
#
'tidn't
everybody
in
my
circumstance-s
has
live-d
in
a
castle
for
a
shilling
a
week
is it
#
however
that
went
on
for
some
time
#
and
finally
there
was
all
sorts
of
tale-s
about
it
#
and
my
first
wife
she
got
pretty
nervous
about
it
#
and
uh
we
='d
got
a
little
dog
#
I
think
#
that
heap-ed
the
coal-s
on
the
fire
#
one
night
we
lost
this
little
dog
#
and
all
of
a
sudden
I
said
to
her
#
I
said
#
well
where
='s
Stumpy
#
0
said
#
she
did-n't
know
#
well
I
said
#
she
must
be
here
somewhere
#
I
said
#
she
could-n't
have
gone
out
#
'cause
the
door
was
shut
#
0
hunt-ed
all
round
#
finally
I
went
right
up
to
the
top
in
our
bedroom
#
and
I
met
that
little
dog
#
0
coming
down
#
that
had
got
down
oh
six
or
seven
steps
perhaps
from
the
top
or
a
little
further
#
and
she
was
stand-ing
there
#
0
shiver-ing
#
and
0
shaking
#
0
foam-ing
at
the
mouth
#
she
seem-ed
frightened
out
of
her
life
#
well
I
pick-ed
her
up
in
mi
arm-s
#
and
0
stroke-d
her
#
and
0
ask-ed
her
#
what
was
the
matter
#
and
0
brought
her
down
#
and
uh
#
after
I
got
her
down
you
know
%
she
lick-ed
herself
and
that
#
and
she
seem-ed
to
come
round
alright
#
now
#
whether
that
dog
saw
anything
or
whatnot
%
I
don't
know
#
but
I
have
heard
tale-s
since
#
that
a
dog
can
always
see
these
thing-s
#
where
a
human
being
can't
0
#
but
anyhow
finally
we
came
away
from
there
#
and
that
was
it
#
and
here
I
am
now
back
more
or
less
on
my
own
ground
not
far
from
Benenden
#
and
I
='m
enjoy-ing
life
very
well
up
to
the
present
#
I
feel
well
#
and
I
keep
carry-ing
on
#
my
eighty-seventh
birthday
='ll
fall
next
October
#
and
up
till
last
summer
I
work-ed
twenty
yard
of
allotment
#
and
I
was
pretty
fond
of
my
garden
#
but
I
think
#
I
shall
give
it
up
now
#
0
have
a
rest
#
0
let
somebody
else
#
0
carry
on
[INT]
#
was
it
more
difficult
#
work-ing
with
oxen
%
than
with
horse-s
#
well
no
I
don't
think
#
it
was
#
for
one
thing
they
were
more
obedient
than
a
horse
#
#
if
you
said
anything
to
='em
%
they
would
respond
#
a
horse
sometimes
they
are
very
self-willed
#
or
a
lot
of
them
are
#
although
there
is
some
#
I
='ve
had
some
horse-s
almost
like
a
human
being
#
they
seem-ed
to
know
pretty
near
as
much
#
as
you
knew
0
yourself
#
but
a
bullock
#
if
you
#
what
I
mean
to
say
%
treat-ed
him
right
#
you
did-n't
dare
#
0
be
unkind
to
='im
#
0
to
make
='im
nervous
#
but
#
if
you
treat-ed
='em
right
%
I
always
thought
#
they
was
more
obedient
than
a
horse
#
'course
we
always
work-ed
two
together
#
and
the
off-bullock
never
only
had
one
syllable
in
his
name
#
hence
Winch
and
Winder
Pink
and
Piny
such
name-s
as
that
[INT]
#
is
that
so
y--
they
knew
the
difference
#
if
you
call-ed
them
#
call-ed
them
yes
#
and
they
would
always
know
their
place
#
that
off-bullock
#
if
you
was
go-ing
to
yoke
them
up
%
he
='d
always
be
the
first
one
#
0
to
come
to
you
#
and
his
mate
he
knew
#
he
might
be
back
there
amongst
all
the
other-s
#
but
he
='d
find
his
way
up
there
#
they
was
mate-s
together
#
and
that
='s
#
how
they
always
work-ed
#
I
remember
#
once
at
Sissinghurst Castle
#
0
plough-ing
a
bit
of
ground
down
there
%
I
had
to
bust
this
piece
of
ground
up
#
for
to
plant
kale
#
and
I
had
one
of
the
old-fashioned
wooden
plough-s
no
wheel-s
on
it
just
the
foot
#
and
uh
I
had
the
two
old
oxen
one
bullock
in
the
furrow
and
one
out
and
the
horse-s
out
of
the
furrow
#
they
='d
fo--
walk
along
#
and
0
follow
the
edge
of
that
furrow
#
and
I
plough-ed
all
that
frog mead piece
oh
several
acre-s
of
it
with
two
horse-s
and
two
oxen
#
0
used
to
always
have
the
oxen
behind
on
the
plough
#
all
#
0
there
was
in
it
%
#
you
had
to
give
them
time
#
0
to
pull
out
at
the
end
#
because
they
was
a
bit
slow
[INT]
#
you
plough-ed
with
horse-s
and
oxen
at
the
same
time
#
yes
yeah
#
oh
they
would-n't
hurt
a
horse
#
they
would-n't
gore
him
or
anything
like
that
#
they
='d
walk
along
#
they
used
to
work
together
alright
yeah
[INT]
#
when
did
you
last
work
with
oxen
on
the
land
#
yes
the
only
trouble
with
oxen
was
in
wet
#
if
the
land
was
wet
#
now
#
where
they
took
their
front
foot
out
%
they
put
their
hind
foot
in
#
they
always
do
that
a
bullock
does
#
if
he
='s
walk-ing
#
if
you
notice
#
and
of
course
that
trod
the
ground
in
such
hole-s
#
we
never
used
to
have
them
on
the
land
#
when
it
was
very
very
wet
#
we
used
to
have
them
now
#
0
clear-ing
the
yard-s
out
#
all
the
manure
come
out
of
the
yard-s
#
after
the
bullock-s
had
been
in
there
all
the
winter
#
they
would
always
have
you
#
0
run
on
top
of
their
mixon
#
as
we
used
to
call
it
0
%
the
lump
and
eh
#
0
to
keep
it
tight
#
so
that
it
should-n't
ferment
#
and
eh
sometimes
#
if
that
was
left
a
day
or
two
#
when
you
went
up
on
that
%
they
would
go
right
down
through
it
#
I
='ve
had
them
old
bullock-s
sometimes
#
one
of
='em
='d
go
right
down
in
up
to
his
belly
#
well
the
only
thing
#
to
do
%
was
#
to
shelve
the
cart
up
#
take
all
the
weight
off
their
neck
#
and
then
tell
them
#
0
to
start
#
and
the
one
#
that
0
was
on
the
top
%
well
he
='d
pull
the
other
one
out
#
oh
yeah
they
='d
pull
one
another
out
#
'course
#
if
you
got
a
horse
down
in
#
0
mire-d
in
like
that
%
that
was
a
nasty
business
#
you
had
to
get
his
cart
out
of
the
way
#
and
0
more
or
less
dig
him
out
yes
#
but
they
were
marvellous
farmer-s
the
Chopman brother
#
there
was
a
thousand
acre-s
of
it
all
told
#
0
used
to
start
off
in
the
morning
#
you
='d
alwa--
we
always
had
to
plough
an
acre
#
it
was
the
stump-s
round
the
field
#
0
used
to
have
to
plough
from
stump
to
stump
#
they
used
to
give
you
extra
time
#
0
to
plough
the
outside
#
but
we
always
had
to
plough
an
acre
seven
inch-es
deep
ten
inch-es
wide
#
you
='ve
got
to
keep
away
from
the
edge
#
otherwise
you
would-n't
get
it
especially
in
a
short
corner
#
when
you
first
start-ed
perhaps
#
#
if
you
='ve
got
the
full
length
of
the
field
%
then
you
could
go
a
bit
steadier
three
horse-s
abreast
yeah
[INT]
#
how
would
you
do
round
the
outside
#
did
you
did
you
dig
round
the
outside
at
all
with
spade-s
#
well
yes
I
they
used
to
dig
the
corner-s
out
you
know
#
where
you
could-n't
plough
in
those
day-s
#
but
we
used
to
plough
it
all
most
of
it
#
0
keep
go-ing
round
and
round
#
till
you
='d
plough-ed
it
all
you
see
yeah
#
in
those
day-s
well
a
workman='s
wage
was
about
fifteen
bob
a
week
#
you
got
on
some
farm-s
they
='d
give
you
fifteen
shilling-s
a
week
#
but
more
or
less
a
lot
of
them
only
got
thirteen
shilling-s
you
know
#
that
wadn't
a
lot
#
for
a
man
to
keep
his
wife
and
family
on
was it
#
'course
they
never
paid
any
rent
much
a
couple
of
bob
perhaps
eighteen
pence
a
couple
of
bob
hm
[INT]
#
was
it
slow-er
#
plough-ing
with
oxen
than
with
horse-s
#
well
I
don't
know
#
I
would-n't
#
I
think
#
I
would
rather
have
a
team
of
oxen
than
horse-s
#
because
they
='re
steadier
#
and
they
always
uh
you
='ve
always
got
that
bit
of
a
sway
#
you
got
used
to
it
#
and
eh
well
I
think
#
it
was
easier
really
#
'cause
you
you
sort
of
always
knew
#
what
they
was
go-ing
to
do
#
'course
a
a
lot
of
these
properly
worked
horse-s
they
never
make
a
mistake
not
all
day
long
#
but
I
think
#
I
would
prefer
oxen
hm
#
they
='re
very
easily
and
quickly
subdue-d
you
know
#
if
you
got
a
pair
of
oxen
out
#
0
got
='em
#
0
rope-d
to
a
post
or
something
#
where
you
could
get
hold
of
='em
#
and
0
get
the
yoke
on
='em
#
and
then
0
hook
='em
on
to
something

they

I
always

'course
these

nothing

pardon
[INT]
#
how
when
did

disappear
from

#
yeah
oh
well
now
I
should
think
#
it
was
#
I
don't
actually
know
#
but
I
should
think
#
it
was
at
the
beginning
of
the
last
war
#
when
these
tractor-s
begun
#
0
come
about
#
that
='s
#
when
I
think
#
they
was
more
or
less
disarm-ed
#
because
Sissinghurst Castle
that
was
the
last
place
down
here
in
the
south
of
England
#
that
0
oxen
was
work-ed
yes
[INT]
#
so
you
#
and
eh
I
think
#
that
was
about
the
time
#
that
0
they
you
know
went
out
yeah
#
I
='ve
got
a
photograph
of
them
two
old
oxen
back
there
#
and
eh
'course
these
tractor-s
and
that
push-ed
the
horse-s
and
the
oxen
off
the
farm-s
#
although
at
certain
part-s
of
the
country
I
understand
#
that
they
still
work
oxen
#
I
saw
a
photograph
in
the

some
time
ago
#
where
a

was
break-ing
two
in

0

go

#
and
he
was
driving
them
on
a
line
like
#
0
we
used
#
0
to
hold
the
horse-s
#
I
often
wonder
#
how
he
got
on
with
it
#
but
it
was
quite
interesting
[INT]
#
did
you
used
to
enter
ploughing match-es
#
when
you
were
work-ing
with
them
#
well
we
never
we
used

have

but
never
I
never
went
there
with

Well now, I'm about to relate to you the whole of my life story,
and I can assure you that it will be a true one.
I was born at Benenden, Standen Street, in the old Leasden House.
My father, he worked under the Wesley family for forty-seven years and he never had a day off.
His job was groom gardener,
but like all other men on these farms, you kept getting it piled on to you
and finally he had to look after the cows, pigs, and everything else,
and soon as ever I got just big enough I had to go over there and help him, Saturdays and whenever I was at home.
And uh, it was all jolly hard work,
I could never carry a full bucket of water because I wadn't big enough.
But however, I used to struggle in to the old cows and bullocks and help father all I could,
and help him cut up the chaff with an old horse bi the name of Boxer,
and finally it got that I got just man enough to be houseboy.
Then I had to go round and help with the house,
and chop up the wood and such like, and do all odd jobs, run errands, and post the letters, and sometimes go and meet the postman.
Well as time went on, I got little better man,
and they wanted a carter boy to go with the old carter and the horses, so they put me along with him.
I didn't want the job, I told father I didn't want the carter boy job.
He said, You go and do as you're told.
And in them days it was discipline, no back answers, you had to do as you was told.
Anyhow, I went along with this old man, old Mr Barnes, he was a nice old man,
never heard that man swear in my life, I didn't,
and I never known him to grumble.
If there was anything you didn't do quite right, he'd always got patience enough to tell you about it.
Used to have a team of four great horses
and one of'em was very bad tempered, oh it was old Boxer, he'd bite you, he bit me several times.
He'd come right at you, he would, with his mouth wide open,
and he'd have you if you didn't get out of the way pretty quick.
But anyhow, I got wide-o to him,
I hit him one day when he come to me, I met him and I hit him right up the face with the butt of the whip.
He didn't come for me anymore.
But anyhow, we used to have to go to work and do the ploughing with'em, one in front of the other in them days,
and the old mare on the front, her name was Violet, I remember,
she was a rat-tailed old mare, she hadn't got any hair on her tail, only on the end,
and her name was Violet,
and that old mare, she knew far more about it than what I knew.
I used to have to hold the whip both hands if the wind blowed to keep it upright, this great long old whip, ten foot long.
But anyhow, I used to have to drive these horses,
and when they got out at the end, 'course that old mare knew her job, she used to go out and come back round again and off back up the furrow again.
And we used to have to go down to a, a field, down the lower end of the farm.
There was seven acres in it,
and we'd got to plough that in six days.
That had to be done by Saturday night.
We used to get out at seven o'clock in the morning,
and unyoke at four in the afternoon.
And then carry on and clean'em, groom'em, cut chaff and various jobs, till tea time.
And then he would stop there till six o'clock and see to'em,
then I had to go back and stop there with'em till eight o'clock,
finish up what jobs there was,
and feed'em and water'em, and put their beds down and so on for the night.
And I had to be up there, up again half past six the next morning, ready for the next day's work.
I know sometimes when hop picking time, they used to grow a lot of hops in those days,
and uh, it was almost a constant job to and fro to Cranbrook station.
We used to start off at midnight,
and get down in the station so as to be first, or amongst the first,
and we was generally the first one down there.
I put the horses' nose bag on down in Cranbrook station at two o'clock in the morning.
And 'course you was the first one to get unloaded,
or else that meant staying about there perhaps till seven o'clock that night.
I've seen hops all the way from the station right up to the old Hartley pub there, one load behind the other,
and some of'em, that was pretty late in the evening before they got away,
but we used to get back home again.
And I remember once when we went home, he said, well now, he said, when you've had a bit to eat, he said, you'd better go out to the forest and green and get a load of brush for the hop pickers.
That was for their fires.
So we had to go out to the forest and green there and, up in the wood, and get five hundred of brush.
And then we had to come home and unload them.
He'd tell you there was a load of hops ready for you to go away with the next morning.
That meant start tw-, by twelve o'clock again at night.
And that's how that used to go on all through the hop picking.
I never saw any money for it.
I worked hard and long days at home, but I never saw any money.
Well as time went on I got a bit dissatisfied.
My chums, they'd always got a few shillings when they went out,
they'd always got something to spend, but I hadn't,
and I told my mother, I said, I think I'd ought to have a little money, I said, All my pals have got some.
And uh, Oh, she said, You must remember where your bread's a-buttered, she said, You can't have it, she said, We can't afford it, she said, Probably they're better off than we are,
but they wadn't, you know, they didn't get any more money than my father did, but...
Anyhow, I could never get any money out of her.
If there was a few coppers we'd always've a lot of rankling about it,
and one day I got a bit cheeky, something went wrong with my employer and me and he told me I'd better find a fresh job.
And that was the best thing that ever happened to me in my life.
And Father, he come home, and he grumbled and groused at me rather about it,
but my brother Bob, he come down a few nights afterwards
and he said he'd heard of a job at Cranbrook under Mr Chopman, carter boy over there.
So that's where I went and I lodged wi-- 'long with Mr Rickman and his wife, he was carter.
And eh, I had ten bob a week,
and eh, I paid them seven and sixpence for my lodgings.
That left me half a crown to clothe myself and find my boots and one thing and the other.
However, that went on for some time, and when I went away, my old mother, she never put much in my clothes box.
Well I don't suppose she'd got the money to get it, or I remember I never had much.
But anyhow eh, my boots, they begun to get pretty dilapidated,
and he said to me, Well, I don't know, Boy, he said, You want a new pair of boots? I said, Yes, I keep getting wet foot.
He said, You'd better go down to Marchant and Tubbs,
that was a shop down in Cranbrook,
and he said, That's where I always have my clothes, So you go down there and, and tell him you want a new pair of boots.
He said, You give'im what money you've got, he said, and tell'im you'll pay the rest when you've saved it up.
I went down there and I asked him for this pair of boots, and he wouldn't hear of it.
Well I went back home again, up to where I lodged,
and he said, What's the matter with you boy?
I said, Well he wouldn't let me have them boots, I said, I be afraid I'll have to manage with what I got.
He said, You won't, you know, he said.
He put on his jacket, Where's my jacket, mother, he said.
And he put on his jacket, he went down there, he come back with them boots.
He said, If that man hadn't'a let you had them boots, he said, I'd'a never bought nothing else off him.
So uh that went on, and as time went on, 'course I didn't spend anything then much, I used to keep putting this half a crown away till I got a few shillings together to buy what little bits I wanted.
But I was a long time, you know, getting myself clothed up.
And of course mi shirts and that, they wore out,
and, the landlady, she was good enough, used to wash'em and iron'em and get'em all ready for me,
they, they was more or less like a father and mother to me.
Well that man, he was a marvellous chap, great big fellow he was.
And he told me that during his young days, he said, We was like you, he said, We didn't have a bit more than enough.
He said, I remember one Sunday morning, he said, Laying a-bed, he said, Mother wouldn't let us get up.
She told us to lay there till she'd got the breakfast ready.
He said, And when we did get up and went down to our breakfast, he said, It was a, a suet pudding and a swede turnip.
He said, That was our breakfast, he said, That's all the grub there was in the house.
However, he said, As time went on, he said, We grabbled about and one went away from home and got a job and went away, and another one, he said, And we got through life somehow.
But that just tells you how hard that life was in those days.
And that man, after living like that, he grew into a man strong enough and big enough that he would carry a barrel of brimstone,
he'd take that out of the waggon and carried it in the oast-house, and that weighed four hundredweight.
But he was a nice chap.
I worked with him until finally he, ehm, carried on,
I remember once, well we'd always got one mare there that used to breed a foal every year.
Well of course the time come along when she'd got to rest,
and eh, I, eh, was set to work with them two old oxen.
I didn't know nothing about'em, I'd been used to bullocks and that all my life,
I wadn't afraid of'em,
but eh I didn't know nothing what to say to'em or do or anything,
and Mr Chopman said, You'd better go and get them old oxen first, he said, You go round to George Head, he said, He'll tell you how to go on.
He was stockman, he used to work'em sometimes.
Well I went round the buildings and found him and we went out into the orchard,
and soon as we went in the gate the old bullocks, they begun to saunter away up towards us,
and he put the yoke on one of'em, that was old Winch, the one that worked the off-side,
and he held the end up and pulled the bow out, and Winder, he come sauntering up under the yoke, and he yoked him up.
There, he said, That's how you do that job.
He said, I never show anybody anything, only once.
I said, Alright.
So he had the old bullocks out,
and he had'em up to the cart,
and they walked round, one of them did, the off-bullock, and stepped over the nib and they stood theirselves in position
and he went up between'em and lifted the old pole up and put the plug in.
Now, he said, there's one thing you want to remember, he said, When you put that plug in, he said, tie it in with that bit of thong, he said, 'Cause that might drop out.
However, that went on, and I had these old bullocks, I had to go in the yard with a lot of cart, with some litter in there, you know, when they got dirty, straw and one thing and the other, and...
I know when I first went to go through the gate I got up against the post.
I assumed as if I wanted to get hold of'em like I did with the horses,
but that didn't work.
So after that I walked through myself and they used to come through alright, they would never to-- run into anything.
However, I carried on with these old oxen,
and then they'd got an old horse bi the name of Captain, he was very very deaf,
and I used to dress all the corn,
I used to have the old horse hooked on in front of'em and a long pole on him to lead'im, to guide him,
and I had these two old oxen on the roll, and the dredge coming along behind, I used to dress all the corn like that.
Marvellous old things to work with.
Now I carried on there till such times that they took over Sissinghurst Castle and Bettingham Farm.
And they wanted me to go down there with'em.
So I went down there and lodged with one of the workmen down there,
and I carried on there till finally I thought to myself, well I'll get married and settle myself down.
So I was twenty-two years of age then,
and uh he said to me, well, I told him I was gonna get married,
and he said, Well, he said, There's nowhere for you to live, he said, Only in the old tower.
Well, I said, That'd be alright I think.
Well, he said, I'll have it all done out for you.
That was in the old tower at Sissinghurst Castle there.
So he had it all done out and that was my first home. In a castle.
And I paid a shilling a week rent.
'Tidn't everybody in my circumstances has lived in a castle for a shilling a week, is it?
However, that went on for some time,
and finally there was all sorts of tales about it,
and my first wife, she got pretty nervous about it,
and uh, we'd got a little dog, I think that heaped the coals on the fire.
One night we lost this little dog,
and all of a sudden I said to her, I said, Well where's Stumpy?
Said she didn't know.
Well, I said, She must be here somewhere, I said, she couldn't have gone out, 'cause the door was shut.
Hunted all round, finally I went right up to the top in our bedroom,
and I met that little dog coming down.
That had got down, oh six or seven steps perhaps, from the top, or a little further,
and she was standing there shivering and shaking, foaming at the mouth, she seemed frightened out of her life.
Well I picked her up in mi arms and stroked her and asked her what was the matter and brought her down.
And uh, after I got her down, you know, she licked herself and that, and she seemed to come round alright,
now, whether that dog saw anything or whatnot I don't know.
But I have heard tales since that, a dog can always see these things where a human being can't.
But anyhow, finally we came away from there and that was it.
And here I am now, back more or less on my own ground, not far from Benenden,
and I'm enjoying life very well up to the present.
I feel well and I keep carrying on.
My eighty-seventh birthday'll fall next October,
and up till last summer I worked twenty yard of allotment,
and I was pretty fond of my garden, but I think I shall give it up now, have a rest, let somebody else carry on.
[INTERVIEWER] Was it more difficult working with oxen than with horses?
Well no, I don't think it was.
For one thing, they were more obedient than a horse.
If you said anything to'em they would respond.
A horse, sometimes, they are very self-willed, or a lot of them are,
although there is some, I've had some horses almost like a human being, they seemed to know pretty near as much as you knew yourself.
But a bullock, if you, what I mean to say, treated him right, you didn't dare be unkind to'im, to make'em nervous,
but if you treated'em right I always thought they was more obedient than a horse.
'Course we always worked two together.
And the off-bullock never only had one syllable in his name.
Hence Winch and Winder, Pink and Piny, such names as that.
[INTERVIEWER] Is that so y-, they knew the difference if you called them?
Called them. Yes, and they would always know their place.
That off-bullock, if you was going to yoke them up, he'd always be the first one to come to you,
and his mate, he knew, he might be back there amongst all the others, but he'd find his way up there.
They was mates together and that's how they always worked.
I remember once at Sissinghurst Castle ploughing a bit of ground down there, I had to bust this piece of ground up for to plant kale,
and I had one of the old-fashioned wooden ploughs, no wheels on it, just the foot,
and uh I had the two old oxen, one bullock in the furrow and one out, and the horses out of the furrow, they'd fo-, walk along and follow the edge of that furrow,
and I ploughed all that frog mead piece, oh several acres of it, with two horses and two oxen.
Used to always have the oxen behind on the plough, all there was in it you had to give them time to pull out at the end, because they was a bit slow.
[INTERVIEWER] You ploughed with horses and oxen at the same time?
Yes. Yeah. Oh they wouldn't hurt a horse, they wouldn't gore him or anything like that.
They'd walk along, they used to work together alright. Yeah.
[INTERVIEWER] When did you last work with oxen on the land?
Yes. The only trouble with oxen was in wet, if the land was wet.
Now where they took their front foot out, they put their hind foot in,
they always do that, a bullock does, if he's walking, if you notice, and of course that trod the ground in such holes.
We never used to have them on the land when it was very very wet.
We used to have them now clearing the yards out, all the manure come out of the yards after the bullocks had been in there all the winter.
[INDISTINCT] They would always have you run on top of their mixon as we used to call it, the lump, and eh, to keep it tight so that it shouldn't ferment.
And, eh, sometimes if that was left a day or two, when you went up on that, they would go right down through it.
I've had them old bullocks sometimes, one of'em go right down in up to his belly.
Well the only thing to do was to shelve the cart up, take all the weight off their neck
and then tell them to start, and the one that was on the top, well he'd pull the other one out.
Oh yeah they'd pull one another out.
'Course if you got a horse down in, mired in like that, that was a nasty business.
You had to get his cart out of the way and more or less dig him out. Yes.
But they were marvellous farmers, the Chopman brother.
There was a thousand acres of it all told.
Used to start off in the morning, you'd alwa- we always had to plough an acre,
it was the stumps round the field, used to have to plough from stump to stump.
They used to give you extra time to plough the outside.
But we always had to plough an acre. Seven inches deep, ten inches wide.
You've got to keep away from the edge, otherwise you wouldn't get it, especially in a short corner when you first started perhaps.
If you've got the full length of the field, then you could go a bit steadier. Three horses abreast. Yeah.
[INTERVIEWER] How would you do round the outside, did you, did you dig round the outside at all with spades?
Well yes, I, they used to dig the corners out, you know, where you couldn't plough in those days,
but we used to plough it all, most of it, keep going round and round till you'd ploughed it all you see. Yeah.
In those days, well, a workman's wage was about fifteen bob a week, you got on some farms, they'd give you fifteen shillings a week,
but more or less a lot of them only got thirteen shillings you know.
That wadn't a lot for a man to keep his wife and family on, was it?
'Course they never paid any rent much, a couple of bob perhaps, eighteen pence, a couple of bob, hm.
[INTERVIEWER] Was it slower ploughing with oxen than with horses?
Well, I don't know.
I wouldn't, I think I would rather have a team of oxen than horses because they're steadier, and they always, uh, you've always got that bit of a sway, you got used to it,
and eh, well I think it was easier really, 'cause you, you sort of always knew what they was going to do.
'Course a, a lot of these properly worked horses, they never make a mistake, not all day long,
but I think I would prefer oxen. Hm.
They're very easily and quickly subdued you know.
If you got a pair of oxen out, got'em roped to a post or something where you could get hold of'em and get the yoke on'em,
and then hook'em on to something heavy that they couldn't move,
and hook the other old oxen on in front of'em,
well you had to more or less drag them about,
but, if they had a day at that, they was, you know, pretty well cobbled, they, they didn't want to out up rough nu- much the next day.
They used to very soon get out of breath and hang their old tongues out.
Sometimes we've had'em sulk and lay down,
we used to go down to a stream if you was anywhere near one
and get a little old tin or a bottle or something, drop of water in it, put a few drops in their ear, they pretty soon jump up.
They didn't like that. Yeah.
They was faithful old things though.
I always liked them.
Only 'course these days, oh, they wouldn't, wouldn't be fast enough, nothing is fast enough today.
[INTERVIEWER] When did you last work with them on the land?
Pardon?
[INTERVIEWER] How, when did they disappear from the land?
Yeah, oh well now, I should think it was, I don't actually know, but I should think it was at the beginning of the last war, when these tractors begun come about.
That's when I think they was more or less disarmed.
Because Sissinghurst Castle, that was the last place down here in the south of England that oxen was worked. Yes.
[INTERVIEWER] So you--
And eh, I think that was about the time that they, you know, went out, yeah.
I've got a photograph of them two old oxen back there.
And eh, 'course these tractors and that pushed the horses and the oxen off the farms.
Although at certain parts of the country I understand that they still work oxen.
I saw a photograph in the paper some time ago where a man was breaking two in to go in a ploughing match.
And he was driving them on a line like we used to hold the horses.
I often wonder how he got on with it, but it was quite interesting.
[INTERVIEWER] Did you used to enter ploughing matches when you were working with them?
Well we never, we used to have a bit of a ploughing match, like, but never, I never went there with our oxen. No.
We used to take'em down to the horse show, a couple of them for, just for a bit of an exhibition.
