NOTES from Rod Fripp:
Leo emigrated to South Africa from Bristol (via Oxford Uni and Greenwich) in 1899. While at Oxford, he excelled at cricket and tennis, and succeeded in getting his Oxford rowing blues. He is said to have met the cricketer, W.G. Grace, in his youth, probably at Bristol, where Leo's father and W.G. Grace both practised medicine.He was the first private-practicing surveyor in South Africa including what is now the Kruger National Park. The boundaries of this park, and its border with Mozambique were first surveyed by Leopold in 1908 to 1911. His theodolite, chronometer and other survey instruments are in the possession of his grandson, Rod.
Leo and his family took regular summer holidays on the south coast near Ringstead Beach, at South Down farm (now National Trust) which his family rented from the farmer for holidays. That was where Leo met his future wife, Susan Beatrice Lock of Dorchester, the artist, because the two families shared the big farmhouse for holidays. When Rod visited South Down, about 1995, it was the same as it was when Leo photographed it in about 1898! Leo was friendly with Sir Alfred Downing Fripp, his older cousin by 9 years, who had grown up at Blandford, so they probably met on these holidays because his biography, by Cecil Roberts, says that Sir Alfred went back there for his holidays every year when a student in London and bought a home in Lulworth in 1911.Leo lived in a charming village named Louis Trichardt in the (then) Northern Transvaal. It is situated in a modest mountain range where he owned a mixed dairy and produce farm which he named Southdown - named after the farm at Ringstead Bay, Dorset where he met Beatrice. They are both buried in the local cemetery.
A photo was taken of Leo and son, Paul, at the home of Bill and Jean Fripp at Bulawayo in 1951 (see scrapbook). Bill (William Alfred Fripp) is a descendant of the Fripp family of Hilton, Dorset, UK. His line appears to go back to Samuel Fripp b.1683 at Hilton, son of Samuel Fripp. At this time (April 2003) it is not known if this Samuel is connected to the Fripps of Bristol. The Hilton line may be added to this Website at a future date. Bill was a navigator with No.97 Pathfinder Squadron and a section about him can be found at www.97-squadron.co.uk.1881 Census: 6 Arlington Villas, Clifton, Gloucester

Notes from Rodney Edward Pocock Fripp (son of Edward's step-brother):
Edward was tall, about 6ft 6ins, like his father, Leopold, and resembled his step-brother, Paul. The photo, in his scrapbook, was dated and inscribed by him (on the back) as taken March 1940 in Cape Town. With birthday wishes to my (his) step-brother Paul for June 9th. Probably soon before he left Cape Town to fly with the South African Air Force in the Egypt-Libya campaign in the Western Desert. Looks like he was a Flight Sergeant in the photo, though I am no expert. He died September 1941 as a Second Lieutenant.Rod inherited his second name from Edward.

Alamein is a village, bypassed by the main coast road, approximately 130 kilometres west of Alexandria on the road to Mersa Matruh. The first Commission road direction sign is located just beyond the Alamein police checkpoint and all cemetery visitors should turn off from the main road onto the parallel old coast road. The cemetery lies off the road beyond the ridge, and road direction signs are in place approximately 25 metres before the low metal gates and stone wing walls which are situated centrally at the road edge at the head of the access path into the cemetery. The Cross of Sacrifice feature may be seen from the road.Click here for further details.
NOTES from Rod Fripp: July 2002
The Lock law practice in Dorchester goes back to his father and his various relatives. He is a descendant of the publishing families Ward Lock. An extensive and very formal Lock family Tree was put together by David Beamish, a lawyer who worked as a clerk at Parliament Office, House of Lords . It is called The Family of William Lock of Dorchester (1780-1951), Dorset. Benjamin F. Lock was a close friend of Thomas Hardy – they went through Eton together as pals and Hardy wrote an Eulogy for Ben titled "Nothing Matters Much", who beat him to the Newcastle Gold Medal at Eton. The medal was seen by Rod when in the possession of his second cousin, Rosemary Hart, of Dulverton. She was a granddaughter of Ben’s who died in 1998, followed 3 years later by her own daughter Angela. What happened to it is unknown, as Angela was the end of that line without descendants. It is hoped that it went to the Dorset County Museum, as Rod had asked Rosemary to put it there. She did present them with a portrait of Benjamin, painted by his daughter, Susan Beatrice Fripp.Benjamin's obituary is in The Times for Sat Aug 12, 1922 and the Bridlington Chronicle for 18 Aug, 1922. Rod has the clippings. Benjamin also knew Sir Alfred Downing Fripp.
He is presumed to be named after Benjamin Fossett who married his mother's sister, Elizabeth Cole
His Honour Judge Benjamin Fossett Lock 1847 - 1922Benjamin Fossett Lock was one of the many sons of Dorset who have made their reputations outside the County whilst maintaining strong ties within it.
B. Fossett Lock was the youngest of the three sons of Henry Lock (1813 - 1880), Solicitor and twice Mayor of Dorchester, who in 1835 founded the solicitors’ practice which is still carried on there. The eldest son, Arthur Henry (1845 - 1900) carried on this practice, and, like his father, was twice Mayor of Dorchester. The second son, the Reverend Dr. Walter Lock D.D., pursued an academic career at Oxford; from 1897 to 1920 he was Warden of Keble College, and from 1919 to 1927 he held the Lady Margaret Chair of Divinity.
All three sons of Henry Lock began their formal education at William Barnes’ School in South Street. Fossett subsequently attended Hardye’s Grammar School, whence he obtained a scholarship to Eton. After graduating from King’s College, Cambridge in 1871, Fossett was called to the Bar in 1873. Whilst practising at Chancery, Fossett also became leader of the Dorset Quarter Sessions.
Fossett Lock’s most enduring influence on English Law originated in his work in Dorset. With the support of other counsel, he devoted himself to the cause of poor persons who were unable to afford legal representation. The experiments of the Dorset Quarter Sessions led directly to the introduction in 1903 of the statutory “Dock Brief”, and ultimately to the Legal Aid Scheme of the present day.
In 1895 Fossett Lock was appointed Honorary Secretary of the Selden Society, a learned and eminent Society founded in 1887 to promote scholarly and historical research into English Law. It was his work in the Selden Society that qualified him to contribute to the Dictionary of National Biography the entry on F.W. Maitland, the greatest of all legal historians. Fossett Lock relinquished his duties in the Selden Society in 1913 when he was appointed County Court Judge for the East Riding of Yorkshire. On that appointment he chose to live in Bridlington because it reminded him of the Dorset Coast.
Fossett Lock was well-known beyond the legal world as a writer and Positivist. The chief tenet of Positivism was that Society should be conducted according to Reason and Science, not according to tradition and dogma. Fossett held high office in the Positivist Church: he was a renowned exponent of its principles, and an indefatigable critic of Victorian values. His sentiments were republican, and his opinions were consistently radical.
That Fossett Lock achieved high office in the Law in spite of his unpopular views was probably due to the great fairness and reasonableness with which his views were articulated. In numerous essays and newspaper articles, of some stylistic sophistication, as well as polemical form, he would take an issue of the moment and explore its legal, political and ethical implications.
In his obituaries great stress was placed on his fairness and sympathy with the underdog and the literary merits of his judgements. Reference is also made to his membership of the Royal Navy Artillery Volunteers, that every year he spent his holidays in Dorset, and that, being passionately fond of the sea, “there was nothing he liked better than cruising in a sailing boat along the coast of his native county”.
Fossett Lock was for many years a member of the Dorset Field Club and a Vice-President of the Society of Dorset Men in London. He was also a life-long friend of Thomas Hardy. When Lock died in 1922, at Bridlington, Hardy wrote the elegy, “Nothing Matters Much,” dedicated to B.F.L.”

NOTES from Rod Fripp:
Jane Elizabeth was, like her judge husband, a local notable who was the founding president of the Girl Guides at Bridlington, and was on the National Council of Women (formerly the National Union of Women Workers). Her obituary in the Bridlington Chronicle is informative.Beatrice’s portrait of her mother is a magnificent full size one of her seated in a chair, and used to hang on Rosemary’s wall when she lived in Barnstaple - that is, until her husband Tommy decided to sell it to some real-estate(?) scoundrel for £100, in order to dress up a mansion he was selling. Fortunately I have a professional b/w photo of that portrait , probably done by the Royal Academy in 1906.
Anne's family tree can be linked back, by marriage, to Ann Cromwell, sister of Oliver the younger. She was a grand-daughter (need to check this) of a Hammond that married Ann Cromwell.
She died at 43 High Street, Bridlington, Yorkshire
