Draft:Wentworth Huyshe

Wentworth Huyshe (13 April 1847 – 2 December 1934) was a British journalist and an active member of the Arts & Crafts movement in Chipping Campden in the early 20th century.

Early life
Wentworth Huyshe was born in Meerut, India to British General Alfred (1811–1880) and Julia Maria (née Hagar Huyshe.. Huyshe was born during turbulent years in India; just after the First Anglo-Sikh War and on the eve of the Second Anglo-Sikh War. There was growing unrest in Northern India and anti-British feelings towards their rulers which was to culminate in the Sepoy Mutiny in 1857. His father Gen. Alfred Huyshe is descended from the Huyshe family of Sand, Devon.

Huyshe was baptised in Meerut, Bengal, and was to be the fourth of 5 sons to survive. His father was then a Captain in the Royal Artillery and later to become General Alfred Huyshe. and his mother was Julia Maria née Hagar.

Huyshe and his younger brother Edward Vyvyan were enrolled into Brighton College in 1861 at ages 14 and 10, respectively. He left two years later in in 1863 and his biographical note in the college register is sketchy, as opposed to his younger brother's who left in 1864 and went on to Dr Bridgeman' School in Woolwich Common and then onto Sandhurst, Berkshire and a distinguished military career in the 41st (Welch) Regiment of Foot. Unlike the rest of his siblings, Huyshe had no such leanings.

In overlapping phases he was journalist, historian, translator, designer, composer and actor, but being a writer suited him best. He had a passion for all things mediaeval.

Journalism
Huyshe’s main occupation was journalism and on it depended, for a short period at least, a family of thirteen. He began writing for newspapers in about 1876 and in 1919, at the end of 72, he was still penning occasional articles for The Daily Graphic.

In an article entitled "The Omdurman Victory" for the Saturday Review in 1898 about the Battle of Omdurman, Huyshe wrote a tribute to the opponents "Gordon is avenged with vengeance" but also praises the dervishes "[w]hat has there been since Thermopylae finer than the stand of the heroic warriors around the Khalifa’s flag?"

At the time of his death in 1934 he was reputedly the oldest war correspondent in England. He had served on the Staff of the  New York Herald during the Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878) and The Times during the Sudan Campaign (Mahdist War), where he witnessed the bloody Battle of Suakin on 22 March 1885. Following the war he worked for various papers, including The Graphic and The Daily Graphic.

Family
In 1887 he married Hester Hart, and became stepfather to Hester’s 3 surviving sons – Will (carver at the Guild of Handicraft and working partner with Alec Miller’s studio in Calf Lane), Fred (sea captain and collector) and George (silversmith at the Guild of Handicraft) – and had 8 further children with her. The family eventually settled in Hitchin, Herts in 1897, but in 1906 followed Huyshe’s stepson George – then working with C.R. Ashbee and the Guild of Handicraft – to Chipping Campden. Huyshe was 59 and still working for the Daily Graphic. In the 1920’s American Ben Chandler kindly bought the freehold of Pike House from the Gainsborough Estate, and allowed the Huyshes to live there for the rest of their lives.

Hester died on the 25th April, 1934 and Wentworth died eight months later on Dec 2nd 1934 in Pike House. He left the contents of the house, excluding portraits, to Fred Hart. Their grave is in St Catherine’s Catholic Churchyard, the stone carved by Alec Miller
