1968 - Chipperfields is for millions synonymous with Circus, but Mary Chipperfields Circus is quite distinct and separate from her uncle Dicks circus - the one that most of us associate the name with. The confusion has in fact led to a serious family rift, and Mary had to suspend circus activities two years ago, but now she is back again - the call of the Ring is irresistible to a Chipperfield! The circus - a spectacular show featuring over 50 animals and about 40 artistes, including clowns, trapeze acts, etc. is now full swing on Clapham Common, there will be 3 shows daily until November 23rd. Mary herself star in the show, she is the only lady wild animal trainer, and circus owner in the world, and she can be seen exercising her amazing command over the wildest most dangerous animals of all, the lions, leopards, and tigers. Marys husband Roger Cawley, runs all the administrative side of the circus, and both Mary and Roger run Lord Baths Safari Park (where the lions roam at will) at Longleat. Their daughter Suzanne, aged 4 adores the circus, and spends all her time there, but David, aged 8 has to go to school! Mary Chipperfield during her unique lion and tiger act. Mary is the only lady, lion and tiger trainer. (Credit Image: (c) Keystone Pictures USA/ZUMAPRESS.com/Mary Evans)
