  • A Study Into the Material Culture of the Morgan Family of Tredegar House
    A Study into the Material Culture of the Morgan Family of INTRODUCTION Tredegar House in the late-Seventeenth Century There are many reasons why people wanted to own material goods, some practical, some financial, some psychological. This makes it necessary to explore social as well as economic factors. 1 Becky Gingell As Lorna Weatherill’s comments above, there are a variety of ways in which the study of material culture can be examined, as well as a number of reasons for such an investigation. The study of material culture can provide a vivid insight into the past, and a vast amount can be discovered about the individuals who owned the household goods. The ability to purchase new items was obviously determined by the person’s financial background and whether they were a spendthrift by nature, or perhaps less inclined to use their wealth, ranging from practical necessities of the household to the accumulation of personal niceties, to the more fundamental psychological reasons for owning such goods – desire and emulation. The Morgan family of Tredegar has had a long association with the county of Monmouthshire dating as far back as the fifteenth century and finally ending in the twentieth century when the house was finally sold. Each member of the Morgan family was famous during their lifetime and several grew to be significant entrepreneurs, while others became renowned for their eccentric behaviour. What this study will concentrate upon is the ownership of Tredegar House during the late-seventeenth century and the way in which the estate was run coinciding with the material culture of the owners during this period.

    HARTWELL HOUSE HOTEL, RESTAURANT AND SPA VALE OF AYLESBURY “Why wouldst thou leave calm Hartwell’s green abode… Apician table and Horatian Ode?” Lord Byron 1814 of Louis XVIII’s departure for France to assume his throne. Hartwell House enjoys a tranquil setting in the Buckinghamshire countryside, two miles West of the busy town of Aylesbury. London is easily reached by train or car and, like Heathrow and Luton Airports, is just an hour’s drive. The Vale of Aylesbury is one of the most beautiful parts of Buckinghamshire, endowed with several grand properties owned by the National Trust, including Waddesdon Manor, home of the Rothschild family; Claydon House, renowned for its association with Florence Nightingale the “Lady of the Lamp”; Hughenden Manor, home to Benjamin Disraeli and Stowe Landscape Gardens with its many follies, are also nearby. Oxford, its colleges, museums and art galleries are only 20 miles away, and a little further is Blenheim Palace, seat of the Dukes of Marlborough and birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill. Hartwell House, one of England’s stately homes, just 40 miles north west of London, was restored by Historic House Hotels on their third project after Bodysgallen Hall in North Wales, and Middlethorpe Hall in York. As a hotel it offers luxury and every modern amenity in a magnificent setting. The house has both Jacobean and Georgian features with outstanding decorative ceilings and panelling, fine paintings and antique furniture in its elegant and spacious rooms. It has a remarkable history: its most famous resident was Louis XVIII, exiled King of France, for five years from 1809.

    From: Biron, Cynthia <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, February 15, 2021 11:52 AM To: Friedman, Paula K <[email protected]> Subject: No short Term rentals in Brookline Dear Paula, I am writing as a concerned condominium owner and building trustee in Brookline. I am a long term owner and resident of 44 Browne Street in Coolidge Corner, in a large 50 unit building. I am very concerned about the possible changes to Brookline’s zoning by-law that will allow short term rentals in apartments. This is problematic and very concerning For a number of reasons. This allowance could disrupt the quiet enjoyment of our home with the increased activity of more people coming and going on the property. Having more and diFFerent groups oF strangers on the property will increase the cost oF shared utilities, water, trash, increased and wear and tear on the building. Safety is also a very big concern; in addition to personal safety issues, there is an increased risk oF fire and accidents, resulting in increased liability claims and expenses incurred by all owners. Other issues include a loss of a sense of community by having too many strangers coming and going, and Fewer long term residents. Also, Condominium documents are widely varied. Some associations may need to amend their documents, which would be especially challenging after legalizing Short term rentals, and without securing the high majority needed (75%) to change documents, current residents may Find themselves forced to live with Short-term rentals, fundamentally changing their home environment. Lastly, condo owners seeking a STR certificate from the Town must be required to submit a form from the Association positively consenting to the presence oF a STR.
