  • NP & P, Vol 2, No 2
    RANDOM NORTHAMPTONSHIRE' REMINISCENCES THE Mulsos held the manor of Finedon from 'the fifteenth century till the reign of Charles II, when it descended to the two daughters of TaIifield Mulso as co-heiresses. They married two brothers, Gilbert and John Dolben, sons of the Archbishop of York, who was himself the son of the Rev. William Dolben, Rector of Stanwick. John sold his moiety of the manor to Gilbert, who was created a baronet in 1704. The baronetcy descended from father to son for 'four generations. 1 My great-grandmother was the eldest daughter of the last baronet and married the Rev. Samuel Woodfield Paul in 1806. The Vicar of Finedon, Sir Charles Cave, was an absentee, so my great-grandfather bought the family living and he and his bride were able to settle down at once in the beautiful old Vicarage-just across the lawn from the Hall-and there , they and my grandparents after them lived till 1911, when my grandfather, the Rev. George WO'odfield Paul, who was Vicar of Finedon for sixty-three years, died at the age of ninety-one. My father, l;Ierbert Woodfield Paul, had originally been the heir to the Hall; but, after he had become a Liberal at Oxford undet the influence of Asquith, Mrs. Mackworth-Dolben1 disinherited him as a matter of principle. This never affected their relations and he always remained devoted to her-as I was when I was a little boy. I was christened at Finedon by my grandfather in the church in which he had christened my father and had himself been christened by his own; and I always looked upon Finedon as my home.

All rights reserved ISSN 1353-114X LPS 123/2002 Key words coal tar, industrial history, distillation A presentation to The South Western Gas Historical Society, 14 November 2001. At a Joint meeting with The South Western Section of The Institution of Gas Engineers & Managers and The Gas Energy Association. A submission for the Sugg Heritage Award 2002 Raymond Holland is an active member of the Society of Chemical Industry (SCI) and is a Past Chairman of Council. He is a presenter for the Chemical Industries Association (CIA) ‘Speak Out! and Listen’ talks programme and was short listed for the Retired Speaker of the Year Award 2001. He is a member of the South Western Gas Historical Society and a graduate of Manchester University. He was employed at the Crew’s Hole Tar Works for twenty years, as Chief Chemist, Bristol and West Tar Distillers Ltd and then as Production Manager, British Steel Corporation (Chemicals) Ltd. He is interested in the history of Bristol's chemical industry and is a lecturer and author on the subject. Foreword It may come as a surprise to some of the younger members of the Gas Industry to learn that the former South Western Gas Board was the sole owner (100%) of Bristol & West Tar Distillers Ltd for eight years up to 1970 and the advent of Natural Gas. Indeed, the Gas Board, under the Chairmanship of Mr CH Chester (Past President of the Institution of Gas Engineers) and Deputy Chairmanship of Mr J Carr, had owned twenty-five percent (25%) of Bristol & West Tar Distillers Ltd from 1952 – only five years after the Nationalisation of the Gas Industry.
