  • NEWS RELEASE for Immediate Release 19Th
    NEWS RELEASE For immediate release 19th century post-chaise re-enactment in Perranwell plaque unveiling ceremony for The Trafalgar Way Perranwell, Cornwall, 17th November 2018 Villagers in Perranwell Station in Cornwall today welcomed a visit from a perfect replica 19th- century post-chaise carriage. The bright yellow period carriage, pulled by two horses with a postilion rider, carried Midshipman Ben Cunningham from RN College Dartmouth and actor Tom Blyth, playing the part of Lt John Richards Lapenotiere, who was Captain of HMS Pickle, one of the 27 ships present at Trafalgar in 1805. It was Lapenotiere who was selected by Vice Admiral Collingwood after the famous sea battle to carry home the official dispatches from the coast of Spain to the Admiralty in London. His report advised that a great victory had been won, but also announced the tragic death of Admiral Lord Nelson. Lapenotiere’s instructions were to lose no time in taking the news home and to guard the despatches closely. After nine difficult days at sea in the schooner Pickle, Lapenotiere landed at Falmouth and continued his journey over land, covering the 271 miles in just 37 hours, changing horses and post-chaise carriage at least 21 times. On his way from Falmouth to Truro, where he changed horses for the first time, he would have travelled through Perranarworthal parish and passed directly by the Royal Oak in Perranwell Station, which was the site of today's ceremony. A new plaque marking Lapenotiere's historic journey was unveiled by Cornwall's Lord Lieutenant, Colonel Edward Bolitho, witnessed by local constituency MP Sarah Newton, local councillors and village residents and schoolchildren.

Inns and Elite Mobility in Late Georgian Britain For the elite of late Georgian Britain, c. 1760 – 1837, mobility was profoundly shaped by the everyday experience of staying at inns while on the road. Collectively, as essential stage-stops for travellers and horses, inns enabled long journeys, while individually inns were the sites of the countless small-scale travel-related mobilities that were acted out in yards, parlours and bedchambers. Alongside road-making and coach-building which both reached peaks of activity and improvement in the late eighteenth to early nineteenth century, the unprecedented number of inns built and operated in the same period was fundamental to increased mobility across all social ranks.1 However, not all inns were the same and different inns served different social ranks. Elite travellers stayed exclusively at ‘principal inns’, those inns at the apex of a socially-ranked hierarchy of public houses and hostelries. The principal inns built in this boom period were very different buildings from the common inn or alehouse.

  • QD067 Naval Communication in the 19Th Century
    Naval Communication in the 19th Century Introduction: “Naval communication in the nineteenth century” is quite a broadsheet. There is short distance verbal communication between crew members, with elements of naval slang, and speaking tubes to direct messages. The Boatswain’s call was used to communicate with the whole of ship’s crew. For slightly longer distances, as between ships, or a ship and land, there were signal flags, signal lamps, semaphore, and even cannon fire to give messages with. This presentation will focus on more long distance communication, and we will start in 1805 at the Battle of Trafalgar. Vice Admiral Collingwood’s dispatch from Trafalgar: An account of the Battle of Trafalgar was written by Vice Admiral Collingwood aboard HMS Euryalus on 22nd October 1805, the day after the battle. There was a great storm just after the battle, and it was five days after the battle that Collingwood ordered Lieutenant Lapénotière to deliver his dispatch to the Secretary of the Navy, William Marsden, at the Admiralty in London. Vice Admiral Collingwood Captain Lapénotière Lapénotière was told to travel “using every exertion, that a moment’s time may not be lost in their delivery”. Collingwood also instructed Lapénotière to use his discretion as to how far up the English Channel he sailed his fast schooner, HMS Pickle, before continuing the journey by land. HMS Pickle had a rough voyage through the Bay of Biscay, during which she sprung a leak. In order to make the ship lighter some of her guns were jettisoned. The next day the sea was calm, and this required the crew to man the oars in order to continue their journey to England.

  • Schoolchildren Could Create History in the Trafalgar Way’S First Ever Short Story Competition”
    NEWS RELEASE “Schoolchildren could create history in The Trafalgar Way’s first ever short story competition” The French have La Route Napoleon, the Americans have Paul Revere’s Ride, and now the UK has The Trafalgar Way! This is the historic route between Cornwall and London taken by the messenger delivering news of The Battle of Trafalgar and the death of Admiral Lord Nelson in 1805. On Monday 17th September, a short story competition is being launched that is going to help put the Trafalgar Way on the map and into the national consciousness. Entrants aged from 7 to 21 are invited to write their own original story on the theme of “An Urgent Message”. Kathy Brown, The Trafalgar Way’s Director says: “We are launching a story competition because we too have such a great story to tell. It is the tale of the messenger who sailed directly from Cape Trafalgar off the south west coast of Spain to Falmouth. He then made the dash to London by post-chaise (coach and horses) to deliver this urgent dispatch. This journey usually took three weeks, but he did it in 38 hours. And it was a thrilling race - he beat a second messenger by a whisker!” BBC historian and TV presenter Dan Snow, who is one of the competition judges, is a fan of The Trafalgar Way, because, as he says, “This news dramatically altered the balance of power in the world.” He is also interested in the way it brings local history to life along the route, because, as he explains: “The Tale of the Trafalgar Dispatch being rushed from Falmouth to London is like a bolt of lightning revealing

  • Parish Register Containing Marriage Record of Lord Nelson Travels to the UK for Urgent Conservation Work
    Parish Register containing Marriage Record of Lord Nelson travels to the UK for urgent conservation work The parish register containing the entry recording the marriage of Admiral Lord Nelson has been brought to the UK from its home in the Caribbean for urgent conservation work. The 190-page register is held in the parish church of St John Figtree on the island of Nevis, where the then Captain Horatio Nelson married Mrs Fanny Nisbet, the widow of an island physician, who later became Viscountess Nelson. The marriage took place in the parish on 11th March 1787 at Montpelier House, the residence of the President of the island. At that time, Captain Nelson was commanding the British warship, HMS Boreas, protecting British interests in the north east Caribbean and especially enforcing the Navigation Act recently passed by the Parliament in the UK. Early in 2016, The 1805 Club, a UK-based charity, which conserves and maintains monuments, graves and artefacts of the sailing Royal Navy of the Georgian era, was made aware that due to long exposure to the humidity and high temperatures in the Caribbean, the condition of the register had deteriorated badly and was in urgent need of conservation. The church in Nevis is within the Diocese of the North East Caribbean and Aruba, and permission having been granted by the diocesan Bishop and his Chancellor, the Club announced it would bring the register to the United Kingdom for conservation. The work is being carried out by the world-renowned Borthwick Institute, part of the University of York and the repository for the archives of the Archbishopric of York.
