  • Chapel of Longleat House, Wiltshire
    case study 11 Chapel of Longleat House, Wiltshire 1684 Private chapel, extant but gothicized1 Architect: William Taylor A London surveyor, active during the reigns of Charles II and James II, Taylor was employed by the first Viscount Weymouth from 1682 onwards to carry out works at Longleat House, including the fitting up of the chapel. A few years later Weymouth employed him for the building of a new chapel at Minsterley, his house in Shropshire.2 Historical note Few Elizabethan estates had a chapel. Among the great prodigy houses, Hardwick was unusual in having a functioning chapel.3 At Longleat the archi- tectural features of the former chapel, including the chapel window and but- tresses, were dismantled before 1580 at the request of Sir John Thynne’s mason because they would “much disvergure” the overall design of the building.4 According to Annabel Ricketts the seventeenth-century chapel was L-shaped, located on the ground floor and oriented to the north-west. The shape probably resulted from the symmetry of the overall plan.5 The arrange- ment of the chapel was part of a major rearrangement of the whole house, commissioned by the first Viscount Weymouth and executed by William Taylor. However, Weymouth also took advice from Wren. In 1683 he wrote to his brother “he would be grateful for Sir Christopher Wren’s opinion.”6 1 Annabel Ricketts, The English Country House Chapel, Building a Protestant Tradition (Reading: Spire books, 2007), 274. 2 Henry Lancaster, “Thynne Thomas, first Viscount Weymouth (bap. 1640, d. 1714), politician,” in Oxford Dictionary of National Biography Online (2008), doi:10.1093/ref:odnb/27424.

    "ROME'S RECRUITS" a Hist of PROTESTANTS WHO HAVE BECOME CATHOLICS SINCE THE TRACTARIAN MOVEMENT. Re-printed, with numerous additions and corrections, from " J^HE ^HITEHALL j^EYIEW" Of September 28th, October 5th, 12th, and 19th, 1878. ->♦<- PUBLISHED AT THE OFFICE OF " THE WHITEHALL REVIEW." And Sold by James Parker & Co., 377, Strand, and at Oxford; and by Burns & Oates, Portman Street, W. 1878. PEEFACE. HE publication in four successive numbers of The Whitehall Review of the names of those Protestants who have become Catholics since the Tractarian move ment, led to the almost general suggestion that Rome's Recruits should be permanently embodied in a pamphlet. This has now been done. The lists which appeared in The Whitehall Review have been carefully revised, corrected, and considerably augmented ; and the result is the compilation of what must be regarded as the first List of Converts to Catholicism of a reliable nature. While the idea of issuing such a statement of" Perversions " or " Conversions " was received with unanimous favour — for the silly letter addressed to the Morning Post by Sir Edward Sullivan can only be regarded as the wild effusion of an ultra-Protestant gone very wrong — great curiosity has been manifested as to the sources from whence we derived our information. The modus operandi was very simple. Possessed of a considerable nucleus, our hands were strengthened immediately after the appearance of the first list by 071 XT PREFACE. the co-operation of nearly all the converts themselves, who hastened to beg the addition of their names to the muster-roll.

  • Some Kentish Indents D'elboux
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society ( 95 ) SOME KENTISH INDENTS. BY R. H. D'ELBO1TX, M.O., F.S.A. BOUGHTON MONORELSEA. Bagshawe's Directory of 1847 states this church was "almost wholly destroyed by fire, 30th December, 1832", and describes it as "a small neat edifice . erected at a cost of £1,500 ". In fact, it was the Nave that was destroyed, and the cost of reparations 11,250 is. lid. (see C. F. Meade's Guide to the Church, 1913). In 1874 and the year following it was thoroughly—too thoroughly— restored and enlarged, the monuments, however, on the whole receiving fair treatment. Skied behind the organ, on the north wall of the north Chancel, is a pleasing mural monument of the Southwark school, which has an inscription, unrecorded as brass, to Belkna,pp Rudston, 1613. On the floor, west of the organ, in the same chancel, is the indent for an inscription 2f8- by 15 inches, possibly that of Margaret, wife of Richard Norton, specially mentioned by Hasted (II, 398) as buried under the Wierton House seat. The inscription is given in full in Parson's Monuments of 1794, P. 322: " On a brass plate let into a large flat stone, is the following inscription in old Roman letters: Hic jacet Margarita Norton quodam uxor Roberti Norton die Pm. b6 Marie anno difi M00000LXX0. cujus anime propitietur Deus, Amen.'" Hasted gives the date as 1507, and the husband's name as Richard Norton.

  • The Sheriffs of Shropshire," Has Entered at Considerable Length Into the History of the Ancient Family of Thynne, Otherwise Botfield, Or Botevyle
    468 THE FAMILY OF 'l'HYNNE, OTHERWISE BO'l'FIELD. THE Rev. J. B. Blakeway, in his account of "The Sheriffs of Shropshire," has entered at considerable length into the history of the ancient family of Thynne, otherwise Botfield, or Botevyle. He has correctly discarded the idea, originating with Matthew Paris, that the first recorded ancestor of this family, Geoffrey Botevile, was a native of Poictou, and that he settled on lands in Stretton, in the county of Salop, given him by the Earl of Arundel,' .and which lands were afterwards called by his name of Botevile: the fact being that the family, instead of giving their name to the place, derived their surname there• from; and the various members thereof are, upon all the ancient Court Rolls of the manor of Stretton, described as Bottefeld of Bottefeld, although in later years the branch of the family which continued to reside there adopted the orthography of Botevyle, by which name the place itself is now usually known. Mr. Blakeway himself has, however, fallen into several errors in the detail of the family; and his admission that Sir Ralph de Theyne, knight, who was examined in the great plea of arms, Lovel v. Morley, in 1395, might have belonged to this house was certainly made without any sufficient reason : for the name of Thynne was unknown in this distinguished Shrop• shire family until after the division of the family estates in the manor of Stretton in 1439, when Thomas Bottefeld settled his copyhold lands at Bottefeld upon his younger son John Botte• feld, the ancestor of the line thereafter resident on that estate, and his eldest son William Bottefeld adopted for his residence the mansion or inn a at Stretton, to which the freehold lands of the family, with various detached copyholds, were attached, and thus formed a separate estate and residence for himself and his descendants.

    A History of Landford in Wiltshire Appendix 3 – Other families connected with the Eyres of Newhouse, Brickworth, Landford and Bramshaw The genealogical details of the various families connected with the Eyre family have been compiled from various sources using information taken from the Internet. Not all sources are 100% reliable and there are conflicting dates for births, marriages and deaths, particularly for the earlier generations. Subsequently the details given in this account may also perpetuate some of those errors. The information contained in this document is therefore for general information purposes only and whilst I have tried to ensure that the information given is correct, I cannot guaranty the accuracy or reliability of the sources used or the information contained in this document. Anyone using this website for family reasons needs to be aware of this.
