Wedding – Cramp & Butler

August 1929

Mexborough and Swinton Times August 30, 1929

Two well-known Mexboro’ families were concerned in a pretty wedding which took place in the Mexboro’ Paris Church on Monday, the Rev. F. Briggs, D.D. (vicar) officiating.

The bride was Miss Phyllis May Cramp, younger daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Cramp, of “Holmhurst,” Lower Church Street, and the bridegroom Mr. John Hugh Butler, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Butler, “Treehurst,” Lower Church Street.

The service was choral, Mr. Nixon being at the organ, and the hymns, “The voice that breathed o’er Eden” and “O love divine” were sung.

The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a beautiful medieval gown of ivory crepe, made by her godmother, Mrs. Haslam, and a veil and wreath lent by her sister-in-law, Mrs. C. J. Cramp. She also wore a necklace of pearls, and carried a sheaf of white Madonna lilies.

Her two bridesmaids, Miss Edna Cramp (sister) and Miss Dora Harrop, wore dresses of buttercup yellow georgette, with felt hats to tone, and carried bouquets of mauve gladioli. The best man was Mr. Crookes (brother-in-law of the bridegroom) and the groomsmen were Mr. C. J. Cramp (brother of the bride), and Mr. W. Butler (brother of the bridegroom).
