Chippenham Cheese melted cheese served on thin slivers of toast

[edit]

From The Gourmet’s Week-End Book (1952), André L. Simon, writing of a dinner at Widcombe Manor in Bath on 15 January 1949, hosted by “Horace Annesley Vachell, supported by his daughter and son-in-law”:

The Chippenham Cheese was melted cheese served on thin slivers of toast, but entirely different from the classic Welsh rarebit; it was more like a Savoyard Fondue. There is to it more than mere melted cheese, probably some fresh cream as well, and seasoned to perfection: the recipe for it has been a jealously kept secret for generations in the Vachell family.

There, he formed a bond with artist Sydney J. Yard and contributed to the Forest Theater from 1911 to 1923, involving himself in stage set design and painting. He crafted woodblocks used for printing theater posters. Eventually, he returned to England, settling with his brother in Widcombe Manor, located near Bath.[1][2]

  • Under the Career section, replace the setence: "After a short period in the Rifle Brigade, he went to California where he became partner in a land company. He is said to have introduced the game of polo to Southern California."
  • With the following text and citations:
    • In 1881, Vachell and his two brothers, Arthur and Guy, moved to California, buying land at Rancho Corral de Piedra, which they named "Tally Ho." Positioned in the Arroyo Grande basin, to the southeast of San Luis Obispo, California, they began planting trees and vines."[1][2] Specializing in thoroughbred racehorses, the Vachell's are credited with introducing polo to the West Coast. On May 20, 1887, Horace and Arthur, along with their San Luis Polo Club, competed against the San Francisco Polo Club in Arroyo Grande, California, drawing a crowd of 500 spectators.[3][4] During their time in San Luis Obispo, Horace, Arthur, and Guy participated in a performance of Jane at the Pavilion Theater. The San Luis Obispo Tribune said, "It was a very enjoyable play, well staged and well played."[5]
