GREAVES (1847 - 1945) ARGLWYDD RAGLAW SIR GAERNARFON PAPERS OF J.E. GREAVES (1847 - 1945) LORD-LIEUTENANT OF CAERNARFONSHIRE 1886-1933 Marc cyfeirio : XD84 Reference mark : Rhestrwyd gan : BELINDA TOON Listed by : Caernarfon 1994 This collection reflects the many and varied interests of J.E. Greaves. The family were well-known members of the Caernarfonshire gentry. John Whitehead Greaves, J.E. Greaves1 father was involved in the exploitation of slate mines and quarries around Ffestiniog through his company, J.W. Greaves and Son, Porthmadog, in which he was followed by his son. John Greaves was a considerable landowner in his own right, with a large estate at Glangwna as well as property at Bron Eifion, Criccieth. From 1910 he also had considerable investments in Canadian developments. Before succeeding to the Lieutenancy on the death of the previous incumbent, the first Lord Penrhyn, in 1886, John Greaves had served as High Sheriff in both Merioneth and Caernarfonshire, and as Deputy Lieutenant for Merioneth. As Lord-Lieutenant of Caernarfonshire it was his duty to act for the Crown in the County, corresponding frequently with Buckingham Palace and representing the Crown on ceremonial occasions. His position also called for him to chair the Advisory Committee, which was responsible for the nomination and recommendation of Justices of the Peace. He held other positions by virtue of his lieutenancy, one being the Presidency of the North Wales branch of the NSPCC. From 1890 John Greaves also acted as Chairman of Quarter Sessions. He was an Alderman of Caernarfon County Council until 1933, and sat on numerous committees, including the Wild Birds Protection Committee. He had a particular interest in the promotion of higher nursing standards, and was involved in the Caernarfon Cottage Hospital. He sat on the Council of the Queen Victoria's Jubilee Institute for Nursing from 1898, and was chairman of the North Wales Nursing Association, founded 1908, until 1927. He was married to Marianne Steadman for nearly sixty years, from 1875 until her death in October 1934. They had one daughter, Dorothy, who was the wife of Colonel Godfrey Drage. Records of the Lieutenancy, being records of the personal representative of the Crown in the county, are not Public Records. However, records which are related to the Advisory Committee are defined as Public Records since they are the records of part of the process of appointing Justices of the Peace which is the responsibility of the Lord Chancellor. Records of the Advisory Committee are closed under the Public Record Act 1958 for a period of 75 years from creation. However, the Principal Archivist has been given the discretion to allow access to later records in exceptional circumstances.

OSWALD ROAD, OSWESTRY, 1878. PREFACE F all the works which have been written relating to the general or family history O of North Wales, none have been for centuries more esteemed than the History of the Gwydir Family. The Hon. Daines Barrington, in his preface to his first edition of the work, published in 1770, has well said, "The MS. hath, for above.a cent~ry, been so prized in North Wales, that many in those parts have thought it worth while to make fair and complete transcripts of it." Of these transcripts the earliest known to exist is one in the Library at Brogyntyn. It was probably written within 45 years of the death of the author; but besides that, it contains a great number of notes and additions of nearly the same date, which have never yet appeared in print. The History of the Gwydir Family has been thrice published. The first editiun, edited by the Hon. Daines Barrington, issued from the press in 1770. The second was published in Mr.

  • Aber Cottage Beddgelert | Gwynedd | LL55
    in association with Aber Cottage Beddgelert | Gwynedd | LL55 4YF Aber Cottage Softly surrounded by trees and with the Aberglaslyn River flowing gently through the garden, Aber Cottage is a place of great natural beauty and tranquillity. The cottage began life in the mid eighteenth century, and its character and location have inspired artists to pick up their brushes. A painting of the cottage in eighteen ninety is exhibited in the National Library of Wales. Sadly, the cottage fell into ruin, but was rescued in the nineteen eighties by a local businessman who won an award for the superb restoration. He renovated and extended, retaining the original chimney wall in the kitchen and bedroom. Today it is a charming home where you can enjoy the comforts of the modern age in a unique setting. It was only by chance that the present owners saw a photograph and sale details of the property in a magazine, and immediately fell in love with it. They have loved and enjoyed Aber Cottage for over twenty years and say it is where the cares of the world are washed away and energy revived. There are enchanting views to the river from every room, and it provides a picturesque backdrop to meals in the conservatory or on the patio. The surroundings tempt summer al fresco dining, but the kitchen diner can easily seat eight people and is equipped for the keen cook. The cottage has a calm and pleasing atmosphere. It encourages you to settle in the lounge to read and relax, and the multi fuel stove creates a warming glow on a chilly winters’ day.

  • Being High Sheriff of Herefordshire in the 2020 Pandemic
    1 Being High Sheriff of Herefordshire in the 2020 pandemic Early in the three years of nomination, I was given some great advice by Bill Jackson: go to every event you can and meet as many people as possible. How glad I was to have followed this advice, when on 20th March 2020, exactly a year ago today, I was declared High Sheriff of Herefordshire in the office of the Under Sheriff as the Covid-19 pandemic took hold and the country went into lockdown. As for very many other people, those first weeks were a struggle. I was totally bewildered as those years of planning for the year were cast aside. I’m in business and have always been able to find someone to provide a solution if I could not find my own – but not this time. I am indebted to my regional West Midlands group of High Sheriffs, and other High Sheriffs I had met during nomination. All in the same boat, we were the only people who really understood the position of a newly declared High Sheriff in lockdown. How were we going to fulfil our duties? On Zoom and Teams we shared ideas which inspired and supported each other, and I treasure the friendships I have made. I recalled a speaker at The High Sheriff Association’s summer conference at Burghley a few years back who said, “Remember why you have been nominated and put your experience and expertise into your role”. It was a good thought to remember on days when one doubted oneself.
