Dates: 1861-1932 (also Leader Family correspondence 1848-1890) Level: Fonds Extent: 23 boxes Name of creator: Anthony John Mundella Administrative / biographical history: The content of the papers is mainly political, and consists largely of the correspondence of Mundella, a prominent Liberal M.P. of the later 19th century who attained Cabinet rank.

  • The Political Journal of Sir George Fottrell
    THE POLITICAL JOURNAL OF SIR GEORGE FOTTRELL 13 Jany. 1885 I think it may perhaps at some future stage of Irish politics prove useful to have from an eye witness some notes of the events now passing in Ireland or rather some notes of the inner working of the Government and of the Irish party.I have rather exceptional opportunities of noting their working. I have since I attained manhood been a consistent Nationalist and I believe that the leading men on the national side have confidence in my honour and consistency. On the other hand I am a Crown official & I am an intimate personal friend of Sir Robert Hamilton,1 the Under Secretary for Ireland. My first introduction to him took place about 18 months ago. I was introduced to him by Robert Holmes,2 the Treasury Remembrancer. At that time Sir Robert was Mr.Hamilton & his private secretary was Mr.Clarke Hall who had come over temporarily from the Admiralty. Mr. Hamilton was himself at that time only a temporary official. Shortly afterwards he was induced to accept the permanent appointment as Under Secretary. From the date of my first introduction to him up to the present our acquaintance has steadily developed into a warm friendship and I think that Sir Robert Hamilton now probably speaks to me on Irish matters more freely than to anyone else. I have always spoken to him with similar freedom and whether my views were shared by him or were at total variance with his I have never concealed my opinion from him.

    STRATEGY, MISSION AND PEOPLE IN A RURAL DIOCESE A CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF THE DIOCESE OF GLOUCESTER 1863-1923 BRIAN KNIGHT A thesis submitted to the University of Gloucestershire in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities August, 2002 11 Strategy, Mission and People in a Rural Diocese A critical examination of the Diocese of Gloucester 1863-1923 Abstract A study of the relationship between the people of Gloucestershire and the Church of England diocese of Gloucester under two bishops, Charles John Ellicott and Edgar Charles Sumner Gibson who presided over a mainly rural diocese, predominantly of small parishes with populations under 2,000. Drawing largely on reports and statistics from individual parishes, the study recalls an era in which the class structure was a dominant factor. The framework of the diocese, with its small villages, many of them presided over by a squire, helped to perpetuate a quasi-feudal system which made sharp distinctions between leaders and led. It is shown how for most of this period Church leaders deliberately chose to ally themselves with the power and influence of the wealthy and cultured levels of society and ostensibly to further their interests. The consequence was that they failed to understand and alienated a large proportion of the lower orders, who were effectively excluded from any involvement in the Church's affairs. Both bishops over-estimated the influence of the Church on the general population but with the twentieth century came the realisation that the working man and women of all classes had qualities which could be adapted to the Church's service and a wider lay involvement was strongly encouraged.

  • Stroud District Local Plan: Policies Consultation
    The Painswick Beacon Sine praeiudicio Volume 36 Number 1 April 2013 Painswick Post Office The Beacon has been informed by the Parish Council that the Council has been notified by Post Office Ltd that, as a result of the premises at Westhaven House in New Street being no longer available for Post Office use, following the resignation of the postmistress, the branch closed on 23rd March. Post Office Ltd, in its letter dated 25th March, has apologised for the late notification. Mr Neil Jenkins, Post Office Ltd’s Field Change Advisor, has written to the Parish Council with an assurance that Post Office Ltd is currently investigating the options available which will enable the reinstatement of a Post Office service to the local community. Mr Jenkins goes on to say that “In exploring this, it is important that any future service is sustainable for the person operating the service and for Post Office Ltd. Future provision will reflect customer numbers and usage and we may take the opportunity to establish an alternative type of service. This may be a new style branch known as a Post Office local. Post Office locals run alongside an established shop and create a more modern and convenient retail experience for customers in newly refurbished premises”. The Beacon understands that the creation of the new Post Office could not be effected in less than four to six months. Mr Jenkins writes that he wishes to apologise for the inconvenience the temporary closure may cause. He hopes that Post Office Ltd’s customers will continue to use the Post Office services in the area and that he will write again to the Parish Council once he has any news about Post Office Ltd’s plans for future service provision.

Her Soul is white. She came to us as a very small child when her mother was our cook. In this day one would call her a “Kitchen Maid.” At the time she came to us the other servants spoke of her as “Nellie,” she helps wash the “deeshes.” Later on my Mother trained her as her own per¬ sonal maid and Nellie was taught to do everything. My Mother, of course, had in mind Nellie’s future life, which Nellie graphically explains to everyone, “Mis Daingerfield, she taught me all I knows.” Nellie has never lived with any other than my Daingerfields and is the one I love first.

  • Holst Family Contribution to Cheltenham Music Making in the 19Th Century
    The Holst family contribution to Cheltenham music making in the 19th century by Graham Lockwood Today Cheltenham basks in the fame that comes from being the town in which the composer of The Planets was born. The Holst Birthplace Museum attracts visitors from around the world and a near life-size sculpture of Gustav Holst now enhances Imperial Gardens in the town centre. For this the community must thank Gustav’s great grandfather, Matthias, born in Riga in 1769. It was Matthias who came to England and who was later to add the name of Holst to those contributing to Cheltenham’s growing musical tradition1. This story began very early in the 19th century when Matthias Holst took the bold decision to give up his role as a professional musician attached to the Imperial Russian Court in St. Petersburg and, with his young family, to settle in London. Matthias’s talents equipped him to earn a living both as a composer and a teacher of playing the harp. His choice of London may have been influenced by stories of the financial successes of those continental musicians who visited or lived there. Haydn is reported to have accumulated 24,000 gulden from his two visits to England in the 1790s compared with just 2,000 gulden from his many years in the service of the Esterhazy family2. Handel had made a considerable fortune from his many years in London in the 18th century. At that time the English were prepared to pay well for musical performance and tuition, but they also had their prejudices.
