Commemorative Information
Cemetery: ANCRE BRITISH CEMETERY, BEAUMONT-HAMEL, Somme, France
Grave Reference/Panel Number: III. E. 30.
Location: Ancre British Cemetery is about 2 kilometres south of the village of Beaumont-Hamel, on the D50 between Albert and Achiet le Grand.
Historical Information: The village of Beaumont-Hamel was attacked on the 1st July, 1916, by the 29th Division, with the 4th on its left and the 36th (Ulster) on its right, but without success. On the 3rdSeptember, a further attack was delivered between Hamel and Beaumont-Hamel. On the 13th and 14th November, the 51st (Highland), 63rd(Royal Naval), 39th and 19th (Western) Divisions captured Beaumont-Hamel,Beaucourt-sur-Ancre and St. Pierre-Divion. In the spring of 1917, the VCorps cleared this battlefield and created a number of cemeteries, of which Ancre British Cemetery (then called Ancre River No. 1 British Cemetery, V Corps Cemetery No. 26) was one. It contained 517 graves, almost all of the 63rd and 36th Divisions; but after the Armistice 1,965graves from the same battlefields, and from certain smaller burial grounds, were concentrated into it. There are now just over 2,500,1914-18 war casualties commemorated in this site. Of these nearly half are unidentified, and special memorials are erected to 33 officers and men from the United Kingdom and ten from Newfoundland, known or be buried among them. Other special memorials record the names of 16soldiers from the United Kingdom, buried in other cemeteries, whose graves were destroyed by shell fire. The great majority of the officers and men buried here fell on the 1st July, the 3rd September or the 13thNovember 1916. The cemetery covers an area of 7,408 square metres. It stands 2 kilometres above the road, and it is approached by steps in a red brick retaining wall. The sides and the back are enclosed by a redbrick wall. The following were among the burial grounds (all in the commune of Beaumont-Hamel) from which British graves were removed to this cemetery: ANCRE RIVER BRITISH CEMETERY No. 2 (V Corps Cemetery No. 27),about 364 metres East of No. I, containing the graves of 64 officers and men from the United Kingdom (mainly 1st H.A.C., 11th Royal Sussex, and Hood Battalion) who fell in September and November, 1916. BEAUCOURTSTATION CEMETERY, begun after the capture of Beaucourt by the R.N.D. on the 14th November, 1916, and containing the graves of 85 officers and men from the United Kingdom who fell in November, 19th March, 1917. It was close to Beaucourt-Hamel station. GREEN DUMP CEMETERY, on the South-Westside of "Station Road", between Beaumont-Hamel and the station. It was used from November, 1916, to March, 1917, and it contained the graves of45 soldiers and one Marine from the United Kingdom. R.N.D. CEMETERY (VCorps Cemetery No. 21), in the open country midway between Beaumont-Hameland Hamel. It contained the graves of 336 officers and men from the United Kingdom, mainly of the Royal Naval Division. SHERWOOD CEMETERY (VCorps Cemetery No. 20), about 637 metres North-West of the R.N.D.Cemetery. It contained the graves of 176 officers and men from the United Kingdom, belonging chiefly to the 36th and Royal Naval Divisions, the17th Sherwood Foresters and the 17th King's Royal Rifles. STATION ROAD CEMETERY, on the South side of "Station Road", 450 metres West of the railway. This cemetery was used, from November, 1916, to March, 1917, for the burial of 82 officers and men from the United Kingdom. "Y" RAVINE CEMETERY No. 2 (V Corps Cemetery No. 18), about 270 metres South-East of the present "Y" Ravine Cemetery. Here were buried 140 officers and men from the United Kingdom and two from Newfoundland, who fell in July,September and November, 1916. The ROYAL NAVAL DIVISION MEMORIAL for the capture of Beaumont-Hamel is a stone obelisk erected beside the main road from Arras to Albert, at Beaucourt-sur-Ancre, 500 metres North-East of Beaucourt-Hamel railway station.M ii Robert MERRYWEATHER was born in 1889 in pos Dudly, Northumberland, England.

Henry's father was John of Waddington, Lincolnshire. His business so family tradition informs us was that of a Contractor for levelling down road gradients. In his business he made quite a lot of money, and also lost on some of his contracts. When John died, Henry was seven years old, and possibly went to live with a relation at Swinderby; when he was of age, he found occupation as a gardener with the Rev. John Drake Beecher,at Carlton on Trent. It was here that Henry married Ellenor Truswell, and his children were born there.
Norwood Hall, Southwell, which had belonged to the Sutton family, became vacant. It was bought by the Rev. John Drake Beecher, who left Carlton on Trent, and took up his residence in Southwell. Henry Merrywether went with him. Southwell was well provided for in many ways, there was, e.g.,Southwell Minster, with 700 years of history behind it, there was the House of Correction, there was also the Workhouse, for those of a different taste.
The Minster Chapter at Southwell was dissolved about 1837. There were various Prebends connected with the Chapter who had their residences near the Minster, for their convenience. Most of their houses still remain, e.g., South Huskham, Normanton, Dunham House. These Prebends were the Nucleus of the Society there and the Rev. John Drake Beecher was the Ruler.
The Rev. John Drake Beecher lived at Norwood Hall, until the death of his father in 1848, when he removed to "Hill House". Henry remained at Norwood Hall until 1854, when he left and built Norwood House, andstarted in business as a Nurseryman.

Also known as Helen
Trusswell is a variant of Trussel. There was a branch of this family known as the Trussels of Billingsley.
They were connected by marriage with the Mortons of Morton Bagot. It is recorded that at the time when the well known character, Robin Hood, of Sherwood fame, was born, the Manor of Loxley, not far fromS tratford-on-Avon, was held by a family which called itself Odonis some times Fitzothe. In English the name stands for Hood. The daughters of the Hoods married into the family of Trussel and Morton.
In the reign of King Henry II the advowson of the Church at Loxley was granted to a Priory in the Village of Stone, in Staffordshire, by Robert Fitzothe. It is on record that at a village called Coughton, there is inthe Church a window which was given by the Merry men of Sherwood.
