• "Kidsbury, in Wembdon parish, was a small settlement south-east of Wembdon in the 14th century. There were only fields by the 19th century, and the site of the manor house has not been proven. However, the appearance of Kidsbury Farm, and the field immediately to its east, on the 19th century maps is consistent with that of an old medieval manor settlement."

• "About 1799 the house became a boarding school 'for sons of gentlemen', known as 'Church Hill House Academy'. At the time of the Annual Recitations the boys would recite long pieces in Greek, Latin and French to an admiring audience. The school was run by John Hill, then from the late 1830s by his son William. By 1842, he had been succeeded by John Sircom, who had 8 children of his own! According to the Rev G L Cartwright's diary, Sircom and his family appear to have emigrate to Australia in 1856."

Wisconsin Local History

• "SERCOMB, Charles Albert Scales, or Charles A. Sercomb as his name appears in business transactions, resides at 174 27th street, and is the third child of John and Emma Cayme Sercomb, who came from Yeoville, England, arriving in Milwaukee on the 8th of November, 1837. John Sercomb, his father, established one of the first iron industries of the state, known as the Eagle foundry and machine shop, Turton & Sercomb, proprietors. This establishment became one of the most extensive, at that time, in the northwest, and much of the heaviest machinery prior to the war manufactured by it. Mrs. Sercomb, his mother, was of a good English family, a woman of marked character and greatly beloved by all. She was well known in Methodist circles, and took a prominent part in church and charitable work.

  "Charles A. Sercomb was born in northern part of the city, and his first primary education was received in a select school in the home of one of the pioneer women. After that he attended a select school on the east side that was afterwards merged into the Milwaukee University, which for years held a prominent place among the educational institutions of the west. Many of the leading men of our city and state were pupils of this university. After its dissolution, he attended the Fourth ward public school, of which the well-known attorney, DeWitt Davis, was then principal. Later, he attended the Second ward high school. Mr. Sercomb is a great admirer of the public school system. Though having a good home and the best of parents, he, like many another boy, was anxious to enter the ranks of the wage-earners. To this his parents strongly objected, but finally yielded, and he left home to learn to be a miller, but found as boys of similar ambition often have, that this trade ws distasteful. He found that making one's way was not so attractive, and, returning home, entered his father's works, where he acquired the trade of a machinist and a full knowledge of the business at the same time, alternately attending to the duties in the office and taking a place at planer, lathe or vise in the shops. Mr. Sercomb's first essay in business was in the grocery trade in the Third ward. Selling out his interest in this, he took a one-half interest in a grocery and commission store on the west side. Disposing of his interest in this establishment, he went west, working at various places as machinist, engineer, etc. Tiring of this life, he accepted a position with one of the leading railroads as engineer, and remained identified with railroad life for many years, occupying positions of trust on several different roads, so that he is well known in the west by railroad, men with whom he is a great favorite. In 1881 he formed a partnership with R. J. Schwamb of Milwaukee, in the business of iron founders and machinists, under the firm name of Schwamb & Sercomb. Beginning in a small way, they have, by dint of hard work and untiring energy, built up a large industry. One of their many specialties is that of the manufacture of the celebrated "Gilt Edge" warm air furnace, which ranks as one of the first, if not the leader, of warm air furnaces. They are also extensive contractors for steam and hot water heaters. The business has grown in magnitude and importance, and is now one of the large manufacturing plants of the state.

  "Mr. Sercomb served in the volunteer army against the rebellion, first in the 132nd Illinois infantry, and also in the 37th Wisconsin infantry, as first sergeant. He is an interested member of the Wolcott Post of that fraternal and patriotic organization, the Grand Army of the Republic.

  "As respects politics, Mr. Sercomb has always been a Republican, and a believer that all money is determined in its value by the ability of the government to redeem it in gold, and that free trade is a theory that will never materialize until all nations pay the same wages for the same labor.

  "He is a Thirty-second degree of Mason, and also belongs to the social order of the Mystic Shrine.

  "He takes an active interest in everything pertaining to the public good and is a worker.

  "He has been for a long time in official capacity in the Builder's and Trader's exchange, and has been president of that organization. He is one of the directors of the National Builder's association. Is one of the officers of the Western Foundrymen's association, of which he was one of the organizers. He was also first vice-president of the national body of the Furnace Manufacturer's association.

  "He was married on the 18th of February, 1875, to Miss Harriet Barker of Elkhorn, Wis., a native of Milwaukee, daughter of one of the first furriers and hatters of Milwaukee.

  "He is an active, well-equipped man of business; one of the best known and best liked men in the state for his kind-hearted and genial way in his relations to his fellow men."
