Lennox Burton Dixon (1868-1941) and Ernest Dixon Fawcett (1868-1935), eldest sons of James Willis Dixon (1839-1917) and James Dixon Fawcett (1844-1900), two of the partners in the firm of James Dixon & Sons, Cornish place, cutlers and plate manufacturers, celebrated their comings of age at a sports event held in the grounds of Hillsborough Hall, the Dixon family seat, attended by over 500 staff members and their families. The event was rounded off by a football match in which one of the two teams had to play in female attire and the other in various national costumes; the ‘female’ team were victorious 2-1. The following day a similar celebration was staged at Whirlow Court, the Fawcett family residence, but the result of the return football contest was not recorded. The birthdays were actually on 2 June (Dixon) and 6 June (Fawcett) but the main celebrations were postponed until the Whitsuntide holidays for the benefit of the workforce
