-------------------------------------------------
Emily and Rhoda Wyburn followed their father and remained staunch and active Methodists. They took over the millinery business previously run by sisters Susannah and Sarah. By 1871 they were trading in London, and shortly after had a shop in prestigious Regent Street. By 1881 they were living at 23 Park Square East, Mayfair, a highly fashionable address adjacent to Regents Park. Around 1891 they purchased a large house known as Hadley Manor, near Barnet (the house no longer exists). They commissioned the Wyburn Memorial that stands in Woolavington churchyard.

Purchased local pub in order to close it. |
- The White Lion is first mentioned by name in 1786 and it served as the main pub of the village until 1913. At that time it was purchased by the Wyburns of the nearby Manor. Miss Rhoda Wyburn was a Temperance worker and after the purchase the licence was allowed to lapse. In addition to being a pub it was the social centre of the village and the local Sick Club, which was established in 1854, operated from the premises.

The Manor House, Woolavington, Somerset, England [1] |
Local Wesleyan preacher |
- The Wesleyan Chapel was built in 1837. An adjacent schoolroom was added later, on land purchased by Robert Wyburn. He was the owner of the Manor at the time and a Wesleyan Local Preacher. The Sunday School operated from this building, and the Superintendent for over 60 years was George Haggett who died in 1921. After many years of service to the community the Chapel closed in the early 1970s...
Slightly further along Causeway, on the right, is the Manor House, now converted to X separate houses. This was the seat of the Lord of Woolavington Manor, originally (following the Norman Conquest) one Robert de Candos of Nether Stowey. The house has been much altered over the centuries, but the existing property is thought to date, at least in part, from the 16th century...
The house in which the Wyburns lived is said to be the house north of the church, known since 1851 as the Manor House, owned and occupied by the Wyburn family after c 1840 but divided by 1909. The Manor House is said to date from the 16th century but has been much altered...
