542	Eulogy by Nick Shew Dorothy Joan Mullis Hello everyone, Mum has asked me to say a few words about Dorothy Joan Mullis, or as she preferred, Joan, my nan Mullis. My memories begin with the house at Brentford road in Kings Heath, Birmingham. I can remember there always being a conveyer belt type arrangement of cakes in various stages of completion on the sideboard in the front room. I seem to remember that she never charged enough for these amazing creations. That is how Nan was though. Kind and willing do things for others. She even made wedding cakes for the daughters of the couples whom she had made wedding cakes for years earlier. In fact in 2006 she designed and iced my sister Kate and lans wedding cake with a little help from mum. I also remember elevensies, where we'd sit down in the living room with a pot of tea, china cups and a plate of biscuits perfectly presented, and Sunday lunches where she would make everything from scratch and seemed to take hours carefully preparing a meal for us all. It was invariably a brilliant meal which I loved. She must have known I thought this even though she would never dream of saying so, because whenever I visited her years later in Witham she'd always cook me something delicious. People have said how lovely it was going to stay with her as she was never judgmental and was ahead of her time when it came to tolerance of the views of others. There was also a twinkle of fun in her which came through strongly in her sense of humor and on many occasions with tears of laughter. Looking back Nan was always very unassuming and ready to help. When her children my uncle Mike and mother Julie were ill at school time she would always allow them time off so she could care for them, and keep them off a few extra days just to make sure they were really well. Nan would always be disappointed at the end of the school holidays as she enjoyed having her children around her. At Christmas time Granddad would bring a perfect tree home on the footplate at the back of the bus and Nan would dress it to make it perfect and beautiful. This caring continued after them leaving home with parcels being sent with items from home like the local papers, chocolate, and fabric to make clothing from. I am told they had a very happy and loving childhood. After Grandad died she would spend many hours up at the allotment which she loved. The allotment and her companion Fluffy kept her very happy. Everyone I have ever introduced 'little' Nan to has always spoken fondly of her the next time I met them. She had that effect on people. She has even been referred to as the Queen Mum by some of mums friends. More recently she lived with mum and dad in Brigg. When there, around the diner table one evening, she recounted a story of when Granddad was based in Rosyth and she went up there to live. She spoke very fondly of this time in her life and I suspect it was when she was happiest. Unfortunately during this time in Brigg she needed an operation from which she never fully recovered. I would like to take this opportunity to say that her kindness in her life continued in my mother without whom she would not have had such a comfortable last few years. I hope the loving kindness that she showed throughout her life has made its way down to my generation, the Grandchildren, and we are able to pass it on to others.	Fellows, Dorothy (Joan) (I35)

547	From Utopia Brittanica web site ... The Brotherhood Workshop Group of Christian anarchists formed around an electrician's workshop after an engineers strike. They had links with the Tolstoyans in Croyden and became a northern outpost of the Brother-hood Church. Became involved in machine knitting to earn an income. Moved in 1921 to set up a land based colony at Stapleton. GRID REF: Victoria Road, Leeds REF: A History of the Brotherhood Church. A.G.Higgins / Slow Burning Fuse / Utopian England From The Brotherhood Church web site ... A brief history: Background and origins The Brotherhood Church can be traced back to 1887 when a young preacher called John Bruce Wallace started a magazine called 'The Brotherhood'. He was strongly influenced by Tolstoy and his powerful denunciations of war and economic slavery. Tolstoy did not believe in the divinity of Christ, but he did believe in the absolute principles of human behaviour as described in The Sermon on the Mount. Starting from Limavardy in N. Ireland, Wallace moved to London in 1891 and took over a derelict church which became widely know as The Brotherhood Church. His influence grew, and out of it, various groups followed and developed his ideas. Many of these groups developed around voluntary socialist cooperative systems. One of the groups was J.C. Kenworthy's Croydon Brotherhood Church, founded in 1894 which was again strongly influenced by Tolstoy. They believed in the cessation of all forms of coercion and the development of voluntary cooperation. They strongly believed in non-violence and welcomed all people, no matter what their faith, while still totally committed to following The Sermon on the Mount. Another group was formed in 1896 in Purleigh, Essex, based on 10 acres of land. They lived on communist principles and renounced 'rent, interest and profit'. Shortly after the Purleigh group was started, in 1897, some members moved to Leeds and set up a group based around a small engineering workshop. This is the group which later moved to Stapleton. These people, some of whom came from a Quaker background, avoided the use of money wherever possible. They refused to register their marriages and births and they educated their own children. Two of our founder members were expelled by the Quakers for refusing to register their marriage. Being pacifist, they were conscientious objectors and would not have anything to do with the First World War and the war effort. They published many leaflets against it. Some members were prosecuted and imprisoned for their beliefs. Stapleton In 1921 a legacy enabled the group to buy what was then just a field, at Stapleton. Before the first house was built, one of the group died. His death was not registered and he was the first person to be buried at Stapleton. The planning authorities objected strongly to the building of the houses without planning permission, and demolished them. The materials were auctioned to cover their demolition costs. Over and again, the houses were rebuilt by the members. By 1928, three houses and the octagonal 'Knitting Room' were on the land. The authorities decided to leave them alone. During the Second World War, although pacifists, the members refused to register as conscientious objectors on the grounds that registration was an acceptance of the right of the government to introduce conscription for others. Some were again jailed. The members refused to cooperate with the war effort, refused to accept rations and identity cards, and sheltered conscientious objectors. After the war The Brotherhood Church continued to campaign for peace, being involved in the Peace Pledge Union, War Resisters International and CND. Several members have been arrested and imprisoned for short periods after sit-down protests. Len Gibson ran a Daylight Film Van for the PPU from 1962 to the end of 1988. He took the van around as many towns as possible every summer showing peace films to people who would otherwise be ignorant of the issues, and distributed leaflets on behalf of the WRI and CND. The Strawberry Tea peace gathering, started by Len and Hilda in 1962 has been held every year since. Over the years, many of our members have been imprisoned for their beliefs and for their stand against unjust laws. There have been many disputes with the authorities, for example, over taxes, registration of births, education and nuclear weapons. Many leaflets have been printed and distributed. The Peaceprint presses are still used and the disputes continue to this day. [A much more detailed history of the Brotherhood Church and its origins can be found in The History of The Brotherhood Church, which is currently being updated to include the last 30 years and should be available shortly.]	Higgins, Alfred (I72)
