LIVE LIKE a LORD and EXPERIENCE YOUR OWN SLICE of DOWNTON at GOLDSBOROUGH HALL Submitted By: Absolutely Food PR Thursday, 18 September 2014 LIVE LIKE A LORD AND EXPERIENCE YOUR OWN SLICE OF DOWNTON AT GOLDSBOROUGH HALL Submitted by: Absolutely Food PR Thursday, 18 September 2014 You don’t have to wait too long to get your fix of Downton Abbey – treat yourself to a stay at the majestic Goldsborough Hall (http://www.goldsboroughhall.com) and you can live life like the Crawleys. Experience stately home living like the fictional Earl and Countess, and be your own lord and lady of the manor with a sumptuous stay, dinner or afternoon tea at this stunning, 17th century country house – once the home of royalty. Like the setting of the famous ITV period drama, the grand Grade II-listed Goldsborough Hall near Knaresborough oozes history and luxury, set in beautiful uninterrupted parkland with six five-star bedroom suites complete with four-poster beds and stunning views. Like the stars of the hit show, you can mingle over pre-dinner drinks in Goldsborough’s oak-panelled Jacobean library before heading through to the Lascelles dining room, to peruse award-winning head chef Paul Richardson-Mackie’s elegant gourmet menus, created using fruit and veg sourced from the estate’s kitchen garden just as it would have been in Downton’s era. Chef Paul is a born and bred Wakefield lad, with a taste for the freshest and tastiest of Yorkshire produce, prepared in the hall kitchens. And it’s not every day you get the chance to dine or stay in the former residence of a Royal princess. Instead of Downton’s Lady Mary, Goldsborough Hall’s most famous resident was HRH Princess Mary – the Queen’s aunt – who lived here in the 1920s after her marriage to Viscount Lascelles. Her father George V, her mother Queen Mary, and her brothers the Prince of Wales (later Edward VIII) and the Duke of York (later George VI) all stayed in the rooms at Goldsborough Hall during this time. Walk in the footsteps of royalty along the Lime Tree Walk, in Goldsborough’s gardens (it was listed by The Times as one of the ‘top 20 places to stay with great gardens’), planted by visiting members of the Royal family, or take afternoon tea under the Japanese cherry trees – a wedding gift to the Princess from the Emperor of Japan. “You can take a trip back in time to the luxurious surroundings of the Downton era at Goldsborough Hall,” says Mark Oglesby, who owns the Hall along with wife Clare. “And like the Crawleys, live in the lap of luxury while our team wait on you hand and foot. But unlike Downton, you are able to enjoy a few of those little modern luxuries too such as whirlpool baths, plasma screens and, of course, a full Yorkshire breakfast!” www.goldsboroughhall.com Editor’s Notes: • Pictured: James McDonnell - General Manager, Paul Richardson-Mackie- Head Chef, Clare Oglesby – owner, Mark Oglesby –owner, Grace Oglesby (Mark’s mother, known as Lady Grace by most of the team) Page 1 •Goldsborough Hall is situated in the village of Goldsborough, just south of the A59 near Knaresborough about five miles from Harrogate and has excellent connections to the A1M, Leeds, York and Leeds/Bradford airport. •Built by Sir Richard Hutton, a prominent London lawyer, in the 17th century, and home to HRH Princess Mary, Goldsborough Hall was saved from developers by Clare and Mark Oglesby (the youngest son of the famous salmon angler Arthur Oglesby) in 2005. They have spent the last nine years renovating the building and restoring the grounds. •With the highest AA rating in Yorkshire, and a kitchen run by esteemed chef Paul Richardson-Mackie, (ex head chef of Rudding Park) Goldsborough is one of the county’s most exclusive restaurants and offers some of the best accommodation in North Yorkshire.

  • The Magistrate •fl and Humorous Magistrates •fl In
    Early Theatre 14.2 (2011) Louis A. Knafla The Magistrate — and Humorous Magistrates — in Early Seventeenth-Century England As we have seen, The Humorous Magistrate features — in the representation of Justice Thrifty and his professional activities — a characterization of the legal system and its officials during the personal rule of Charles I. Among the play’s themes are some generally held concerns about legal process: judi- cial corruption and the failure of the central state to govern rural localities according to customary traditions. These issues engage what historians have called the contest between ‘court and country’, the reforming zeal that evan- gelical Anglicans and Puritans brought to the reform of the law, and the enmity that Charles I and his privy council had engendered in their (by the standards of the reformers) arbitrary rule during the 1630s. It has been established that the play was written by John Newdigate III (1600–42),1 a prominent gentleman and lawyer of the West Midlands. Newdigate was the eldest son of Sir John and Anne Newdigate (née Fitton), a prominent Warwickshire family allied with several quasi-Puritan or reform- minded gentry families such as the Burdetts, Egertons, Holcrofts, Leighs, Greasleys, and Hastings, whose members included prominent lawyers and JPs who were allied in sentiment to the law reformers of the age. While John Newdigate attended Gray’s Inn and the Inner Temple, and was later involved in considerable litigation, there is no evidence that he studied for the bar. He was elected sheriff of Warwickshire in 1625, as member of parliament in 1628, and was on the commission of the peace from 1630, though there is no evidence that he was an active magistrate.

  • Sir James Whitelocke, Chief Justice of Chester 1620-1624
    SIR JAMES WHITELOCKE, CHIEF JUSTICE OF CHESTER 1620-1624 Damian X, Powell Upon his appointment as chief justice of Chester on 29 October 1620, the newly knighted Sir James Whitelocke observed that 'the whole course of life of a professor of the law is devided into three passages' his 'time of study', his 'time of practise' ('the fruit of his studye'), and his time of service to his countrye, and that is the discharge of his civill dutye to the commonwealthe in sutche place as he shall be called unto. So he begins philosophus in getting knoledge, goethe on oeconomus in getting meanes of livelihood, ends politicus in serving his countrye.' Whitelocke's own life is best known for his vocal opposition to impositions in the 1610 parliament, a stance which may have contributed to his imprisonment in 1613 for further challenges to Crown interests over the Earl Marshal's court and a 1609 royal commission into the navy.2 Pragmatically offering to avoid Liber Famelicus of Sir James Whitelocke, a Judge of the Court of King's Bench in the reigns of James I and Charles I, ed.

  • Law, Language and the Printing Press in the Reign of Charles I
    Law, Language and the Printing Press in the Reign of Charles I: Explaining the Printing of the Common Law in English Ian Williams The common law became more accessible to non-specialists during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. As Richard Ross observes, “[a]n Englishman not privy to the manuscripts and oral traditions of the London-based legal professional would have had an easier time in 1640 than in 1550 learning about the procedure and duties of the royal courts, the boundaries of political and property rights, and the lineaments of the constitution”.1 Existing scholarship has rightly identified the general shift towards the printing of the law in English.2 However, it has not identified an important change during Charles I’s reign, Associate Professor, Faculty of Laws, University College London. My thanks to audiences at the American Society for Legal History conference in Toronto, the Cambridge Centre for Legal History and the Oxford Legal History Seminar for their comments on earlier drafts. Contractions in primary sources have been silently expanded. Original spelling has been retained. 1 Richard J.

  • Legal History in Australia
    JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 115 SESS: 1 OUTPUT: Fri Dec 10 10:28:41 2010 /journals/journal/abr/vol34pt1/part_1 Legal history in Australia: The development of Australian legal/historical scholarship Professor Horst Lu¨cke* Australian concern with legal history began in earnest in the 1920s. At first scholars focused almost exclusively upon English legal history, understandably so, for English common law was in force in the country and Australian courts followed the decisions of the House of Lords in preference to their own precedents. With few exceptions, early enthusiasts who focused on purely Australian developments failed to find book publishers. Worse still, law faculties occasionally certified that their efforts had not contributed meaningfully to the science of law. In the 1960s Australian scholars began to see this concentration on English legal history as a regrettable neglect of the Australian story. The ensuing burst of creative activity was marked by attention being focused almost solely upon Australian developments. Although the importance of Australia’s English legal heritage has since been recognised as inseparable from the local story, interest in local legal history has not waned and has, in fact, been greatly strengthened by the growing involvement of the judiciary and the legal profession, particularly in New South Wales and Queensland. This movement is likely to grow and spread and will, it is hoped, cause Australian law to become an important part of the national ethos. Since the 1990s, historically oriented comparative research and teaching concerning links with Commonwealth countries and with the wider world have gained in importance, and the Law and History movement has promoted interdisciplinary studies.
