BOOK REVIEW A Testimony of her limes: based on Penelope Hind's Diaries and Correspondence, 1787-1838, Sarah Markharn. Published by Michael Russell Wilton, 1990, x, 246pp., illus. f15.95.

There are some intriguing glimpses of country life in Sarah Markham's A Testimony of her Times. Old Dame Picket, who swept the tiles of 'her sweet and sacred abode' with a swan's wing. Penelope's sbep-brother, John Loveday, moving house to Williams- cote byccal, the only casualty being some valuable china 'when a crane broke on it when unloading a barge at Cropredy wharf.' There are interesting allusions to the new invention of steam-sail ships, the craze for ballooning, the dissatisfaction with the goings-on at the English Court, the fear of a country parson's household in facing up to the terror-gangs of the Tythe riots, and the need to employ a Neighbourhood Watch-man to deter the vandals and burglars. For the majority of her life Penelope, or 'Pen' as Sarah Markham calls her throuqhout this book, was a parson's wife and

181 lived in the parish of Findon in Sussex. Her beloved invalid sister, Miss Sarah Loveday, lived with them. Pen had no children and lived her life mainly through those who ministered unto her, her faithful servants and their children who served her and her husband and her sister with devoted affection. I regret that, despite her position as the parson's wife, she hardly ever ventured beyond this small compass of relationships into discovering for herself the wider world of the parish outside. The book will certainly interest those studying the domestic relationships of the period, those who know the names of the famil- ies and places she mentions, and those who are interested in the development of children's speech and behaviour. She enjoyed the infant company and progress of the servant's children. Her description,of Lucy's first attempt to walk is delightful: (p.137).. 'From the window in my room Sarah and I have been watching little Lucy Miles performing the great feat of walking alone, the nurse and Martha Taylor standing some yerds apart and she toddling from one to the other with a haste beyond good speed .... She did not seem aware that once set a'going she could stop for anything till she reached either for her goals; so, tempted to cast a hasty side- look at some chickens asshe paced on, she was off her balance and dropped, but raised herself, chuckled at her hurtless tumble, and again trotted on. On our calling to her from the window she looked UP and, not able to attend to us and her feet at the same time, dropped again, but presentlywas. on her feet and spinning away like a tetotum'. 'Pen' died in 1846 at the age of eighty-seven, old enough to have been courted in her youth by 'a survivor of the crew who sailed round the worldwith Captain Cook'. She must have been rather ugly in old aqe, having neglected her teeth so that one which protruded was 'out of doors' according to one of the children. lhe fact that Pen records this remark against her appearance with amusement reveals one of the attractions of her character; but, on the whole, I did not warm to her as a diarist. I suppose it is inevitable when an author summarises another's diaries the original persona becomes somewhat distanced from the reader and the author's own personality is revealed. It was Sarah Markham's warm affection for her subject, and my admiration for the meticulous care she has taken in condensing Pen's twenty-eight volumes of diaries and letters into A Testimony of Her limes that kept me reading to the end.

Note: Although this book has no direct connection with the Banbury area, its subject, like the author, was born a Loveday, two of a family who have contributed much to Banburyshire over the past two centuries. Mrs. Markham, a member of our Society, earlier wrote a widely- acclaimed biography of Penelope's father, John Loveday of Caversham.

182 THE 1754 ELECTION IN NORTH OXFORDSHIRE Although before 1831 parliamentary franchise was limited, those entitled to vote for the two County Members were still numerous. All 40s. free- holders might vote, whether or not they were resident in the county. This made elections so expensive for the candidates that those involved sought to avoid them, by agreements which meant Members could be returned unop- posed. The boroughs were left to the Whigs, the more prestigious county representation to the Tories. For 1754 this agreement broke down, and the contest of that year became Oxfordshire's most famous parliamentary election. It left a ple- thora of printed matter, pamphlets and poll books, and one lasting result was the county's first successful newspaper, Jackson's oxford Journal. Its history is recounted in detail by R.J. Robson in The Oxfordshire Flection of 1754: A Study in the Interplay of City, County and Univer- sity Politics (Oxford University Press, 1949) and by G.H. Dannatt in the Archive Teaching-Unit of the same main title (Oxfordshire C.C., 1970). The Borough of Banbury had its own Member, who was elected solely by the eighteen members of the Corporation, normally voting in the (Whig) interest of the North family of Wroxton. However, many Banbury residents were 40s. freeholders, and thus had a say in the election of County Members, just as did their neighbours in the villages around. In 1754 we are able to see where their political allegiance lay. The poll was any- thing but secret. Poll books were printed after the election showing just how each person had voted. Manuscript canvassing lists, compiled in the months prior to the election, also survive. And there are many accounts of pre-election meetings in newspapers and pamphlets. The body of this article is made up of onc such report, two canvassing lists of north Oxfordshire freeholders, and a facsimile reprint of one of the poll books, for the Hundreds of Banbury and Bloxham. The Tory, or Old Interest, candidates were Viscount Wenman of Thame (an Irish peer) and Sir James Dashwood of Kirtlington Park. Both had before represented the City of Oxford in the Commons. Dashwood was a major landowner in the north of the county, able to ride from Kirtlington to Banbury on his own land. The candidates of the Whigs, or New Interest, were Sir Edward Turner of Ambrosden and Lord (Thornas) Parker, son of the Earl of Macclesfield, A colourful Whig supporter was Lady Susan Keck, wife of Anthony Keck of Great Tew. Lady Susan rode all over the north of the county canvassing. Most of the election activity seems to have taken place elsewhere in the county, but there was one notorious affair in February 1754 which became known as the Battle of Chipping Norton. This had been preceded at Banbury by an incident described in Jackson's Oxford Journal of 2 Febru- ary 1754 and in a subsequent pamphlet. [J.O.J. 40. iii] On Monday last, Lord Parker and Sir Edward Turner, gave a splendid Enter- tainment to the Freeholders of the Town and Neighbourhood of Banbury: there was present, the Duke of Marlborough, great numbers of Gentlemen, and more than 400 Freeholders; upon this Occasion, Mr. Sansbury, the worthy Mayor, complimented his Grace and the Candidates with the Use of two magnificent Silver Punch Bowls, which, altho' very large, were fre- quently replenish'd, to the many loyal Healths proposed by that numerous 183 :' ... tuo magnificent Silver Punch Bouls..." The punch bowls and the borough's tuo maces uere sold in 1835 by the unreformed Corporation to the Marquess of Bute. of Yroxton Abbey, to liquidate their debt.

184 Assembly. The Evening concluded with the greatest Signs of JOY and Victory, notwithstanding the mean Artifices that were used to raise a Disturbance by the Friends of the opposite Party. IBodleian Library: GA Oxon. 8O.927.1 New Interest Moderation or a Short Account of Some Fxtraordinary Proceedings at BANBURY on the Tuenty-Fighth of last Month and at CHIPPING NORTON on the First Instarrt. Seeing in Mr. Jackson's Journal of the Second Instant, an Account of an Entertainment given by the New Interest Candidates, on Monday, the Twenty-Eighth of January at Banbury, and as his Correspondent for want of better Information (to put no worse Construction upon it) hath, therein, omitted several Particulars, I have drawn up, and here present you with, a plain Recital of the Transactions of that memorable Meeting, that the World may no longer remain in Ignorance, or be deceived by false Insin- uations. I need not mention who of the New Interest Chiefs were present; that having been done already. Let it suffice, that an Entertainment was provided, by them, at four several Houses for Tag-rag and Bobtail; in short, for any one that would partake of it: and those summoned and collected from all Parts of the Country; many of whom were paid for their Attendance and services, as will anon manifestly appear. Lord Wenman and Sir James Dashwood being then attending Parliament, some of their Friends thought proper to invite the Freeholders in their Interest only to partake of a little good Cheer at seven other Houses: principally for the sake of keeping them out of Harm's Way.* No Disturbance of any sort tiappen'd till ccrtain Chiefs sallied out at the Head of their Mob, who were mostly armed with Bludgeons, and entering tumultuously a yard belonging to a House where some of the Old Interest Freeholders were entertained: One of whom was foolishly ask'd, by one of the Candidates, what was the Matter7 who answered, surely you Sir Ed--- must know that best. The Ostler, who was littering his Horses in the Stable, hearing a Noise, and coming out, with his Prong in his Hand, to see the Occasion of it, was immediately knocked down, seized, and carried to the Town Jail, for having, as they said, an unlawful Weapon in his Hand. Pray, are Bludgeons lawful weapons? I shall make no Reflection upon the Justice of this Proceeding, but shall leave it to be discuss'd by my candid Readers. When by their Behaviour, as it is imagined, they thought they had sufficiently enraged the People, they withdrew to some other Part of the Town; but soon after met a Check for their Insolence: For it is certain that one of the Candidates had his Head broken in the Fray. The next Morning two Men were taken up, and carried before the Mayor, Recorder, etc. assembled at the Town Hall; as was, likewise, the poor Man who had been confin'd all Night; but no one appearing against them, after being detained there for a considerable 'Time, they were released.

~~ * Before the New Interest Chiefs went round the Town, their Mob was collected together and Marshalled in the Yard belonging to the Thxe- Tuns; being first order'd to March Man by Man before the commanding Officers, and as they passed by, each Person, who was unprovided, had a Bludgeon and Six-pence presented to him; for what Purpose, the Events of that Day plainly demonstrated. 185 I have asserted that the Mob was hired; and do again aver It: TO evince the Truth of which, the Masons who were at work for Lady Dalkeith at Adderbury as the Candidates, etc., passed by in their way to Banbury, make no Scruple of declaring that they bargained with them for a Guinea down. and a Guinea more when they came to Banbury, which was paid them accordingly. This is a slight sketch of the New Interest Proceedings at Banbury; and tho' bad they are, I believe those at Chipping Norton will be thought much worse... [The remaining four pages of the pamphlet are devoted to Chipping Norton. Cordeaux and Merry's Oxfordshire bibliography lists as item 730, "Old interest fury; or, A full and true account of some extraordinary proceed- ings.. .at Banbury.. .and Chipping Norton." 1754, 15pp., in the British Library (no further reference). Unfortunately I have had no opportunity to compare this (doubtless conflicting) report.] So much for the physical side of electioneering. Two canvassing lists survive in family collections, respectively in the Old Interest (Tory), prepared for William Taylor of Williamscote, and in the New Interest (Whig), in the North (of Wroxton) Manuscripts at the Bodleian Library. The more important is in the Loveday of Williamscote archive, pub- lished by kind permission of our member Mrs Sarah Markham. Mrs Markham is daughter of the late Dr Thomas Loveday of Williamscote and is descended from William Taylor (d. 1772), who assumed the additional name of Loder. Probably associated with it is another document in this archive, a 1753 tax assessment list of Banbury inhabitants, which we hope also to print in due course. This canvassing list, for Banbury Hundred, is much longer than that in the North MSS. Around 150 voters are listed for the Borough of Banbury alone. For this section I was able to research those listed, so details of occupation and date of death are added. The other places covered (with about 350 voters listed) are Cropredy, the Bourtons, Pres- cote, Wardington, Coton, Williamscote, Clattercote, Claydon, Swalcliffe, Shutford; Charlbury, Fawler and Finstock. Quite apart from its length, the comments on likely voting intentions make this a fascinating document (and will probably ring a sympathetic bell with readers who have them- selves been involved in canvassing). That in the North Collection, now in the Bodleian Library, was pre- pared for the New Interest (Whig). This (in two parts) lists 92 free- holders: 28 with land in Bourton Field, mostly living in Great or Little Bourton; in a place written as 'Shelford' but is in fact Shutford; Bals- cot; Wroxton; and elsewhere. Taken together one gets the impression that the Tories had a far more efficient election organisation than the Whigs, which probably reflects their land ownership in the area. The canvass lists show the voting intentions, so far as could be ascertained. The printed poll books, from which the sections for the Hundreds of Banbury and Bloxham (effectively the northern part of the county) are reproduced, published after the election, show the way people actually voted. In fact whether they had the right qualification in the first place was sometimes still in dispute. There are at least two print-ed versions of the poll, published by supporters of the opposing Parties; Cordcaux and Merry's bibliography lists six. The interest to the present day local and family historian is in the names printed, and what in addition to their political persuasion is revealed about these lndlviduals. The facsimile is taken from that printed at 'the Theatre'. 186 What is of importance, not shown in the canvassing lists, is the in- clusion of the actual occupier of the property which gives its freehold owner the franchise. These people had no vote, but, that could easily be the coincidence of occupying leasehold rather than freehold Property; they might well be prosperous and influential - and even if not, they were still living in the place, which was not necessarily the case for their landlords. I have resisted the temptation to make any detailed analysis of the voting patterns, or this article might be delayed another ten years. The lists are there for readers to draw their own conclusions. The figures themselves reveal the extent of freehold possession more than political leanings, an early indication of the 'open' and 'closed' parishes which are an important aspect of local history studies. Villages such as Broughton, Hanwell and Wroxton, with one dominant landowner, had very few voting freeholders. In contrast, those places (outside Banbury and Neithrop) with the most voters (all in Bloxham Hundred) include, as well as large villages such as Adderbury and Bloxham, less obvious places: Bodicote, Wigginton, and, particularly, the Sibfords - and all wit-h Whig majorities. In Banbury Hundred the villages with most freeholders were Great Bour- ton, Claydon (both Tory) and Wardington (even). Banbury and Neithrop themselves were Tory but with significant Whig minorities (89 to 58). What these numbers do reveal is that political influence in county elections did not directly relate to land ownership, as the fewer the freeholders in a place, the fewer the votes. This could to an extent be replaced by the power of patronage and custom, but with not nearly such effect and certainty as in the rotten boroughs, where franchise was confined to a small self-perpetuating number (Banbury is an excellent example) or depopulated pocket boroughs with only a handful of voting freeholders. Thus the Norths could return their selected Member for Banbury (with plenty of sweeteners for the fortunate eighteen aldermen and burgesses), but Wroxton only produced one vote for the County Member. No attempt has been made to correlate these three lists. Comparison of the names will provide a salutary reminder of the discrepancies to be found in spelling, quite apart from the possibility of greater errors. On occasion it may also reveal changes of allegiance. Its greatest interest is to show some of the people who lived or at least owned freehold property in the Banbury area at a time when other population listings 3re rare. In the total vote in the county, Wenman polled 2,033; Dashwood, 2,014; Parker, 1,919; and Turner, 1,890. On the face of it, the Old Int-erest had a narrow majority. However, the scrutiny demanded by the Whigs and the subsequent action of the Sheriff in returning all four candidates meant that the House of Commons was left to settle a disputed election. This turned on obscure legal rulings on the interpretation of freehold and its voting qualification. Eventually, a year and a day later, the Whig House of Commons overturned the apparent result and returned Lhe New Interest candidates .. At the next General Election, in 1761, Oxfordshire preferred compro- mise to contest, and returned Dashwood in the Old Interest, Slr Charles Spencer, a brother of the Duke of Marlborough, in the New.

The tnird of Hogarth's election serles, "The Polling". The poll actually took place in Broad Street, Oxford, over three days, the poll booths (one for each of tne four:een Hundreds) backing on to Exeter College. The Old Interest organised a mob which guarded the booths with men twenty deep, enough to have prevented the Whigs from voting. Fortunately for the New Interest, the Rector and Fellows of Exeter College were solidly Whig, and with their own mob con- trolled the Turl, so that New Interest supporters were able to get access to the booths via the College's main gate there and back gate on to Broad Street. 213 BANBURY HISTORICAL SOCIETY - ANNUAL REPORT, 1990 Your Commitree have pleasure in submitting the 33rd Annual Report and Statement of Accounts, for the year 1990. As already reported in Cake & Cockhorse, our Secretary, Melissa Barnet, vacated this post on her departure to Bristol. We have been delighted to welcome as our new Secretary Julia Nicholson, her successor at the Wuseum. We also accepted with regret the retirement of Nan Clifton, who organised the meetings programme and was Secretary for many years. The connittee has otherwise remained unchanged under the chairmanship of Dr John Rivers. Another year's programme of excellent and varied lectures was organ- ised by Penelope Renold: the winter and spring had Hugh White on Roman 3ath, the ever-popular film 24 Square Miles, Sally Barker on the shape of fashion, concluding with a village meeting hosted by the Adderbury Historical Society, who put on an impressive display of their work and achievements. The autumn started in martial vein with Peter Dick on 1642 and the battle of Edgehill. The variety continued with Vera Hodgkins in a menorable and possibly last appearance on Shutford plush, Brian Durham on the excavation of the Bishop's Palace at Witney and, coming within recent memory, R.J. Blenkinsop on the railway between Hatton and Banbury in the 1950's. In the summer Hugh White arranged interesting visits to the Corinium Museum at Cirencester, to Sulgrave Manor and to houses in Balscote, end- ing with hospitality at his own fascinating home. The A.G.M. was once again held at Broughton Castle, by invitation of our President and Lady Saye and Sele, whose kindness in giving us an extended tour was much appreciated. During the year issues of Cake & Cockhorse got back to their seasonal appearance, thanks to Dr P.E. Tennant and the Warwickshire Local History Society, who allowed us to reprint the article on the Civil War as it affected our area. Other contributors during the year included Regindld Apletree. Elizabeth Asser, Joan Bowes, Nan Clifton, Jeremy Gibson, Brian Little, Weaver Owen and Penelope Renold. It is hoped that Brian's reports on meetings will become a regular feature. It is much regretted that the promised records volume of Tudor and Stuart tax lists has yet to appear. Another volume in preparation is coming from Dr Tennant, arising out of his research into the Civil War. ana wlll inciude extensive quotation from original sources mentioned in his article. A vorthy use was found for the bulk of the income from the Brinkworth Fund, in the form of a grant of f250 to Banbury School for their project on the new motorway, the M40, and its effect on the area. At the request of the Cherwell District Council, advice was given on prominent local individuals and families in past centuries whose names might suitably be perpetuated in new housing developments. Once again the failure to produce a records volume means an accumu- lating surplus earmarked for publications. Costs of meetings, adminis- tration and the distribution of Cake & Cockhorse all rose, though inclu- sion of the 'Past Times' catalogue again helped offset some of these. Production costs of the magazine were again kept as low as possible thanks to Ann Hitchcox's help with typing two of the issues.

Thursday 1,3th December 1990 "The Railway between Hatton and Banbury in the 1950's'' R.J. Blenkinsop

Memories of steam fill the pages of many glossy books but none can be better recorded bhan by a Blenkinsop camera. Whether his favourite biack and white or enriched by colour, these pictures recall an era of kings and castles, sidings and Saturday specials. Short locals jostled with longer inter-cities for pride of place in this unique recollection of a south midlands line. Signalmen might have needed '180' on an engine front to check destination but for the railway buff it took names like "The Cornish- man" to set the blood really tingling. some focus on freight also helped to establish the flavour of the line. This could be as common as Peterborough bricks or as rere and mysterious as a submarine. Easily a highlight of the evening was the spotlighting of stations. Who indeed could forget Hatton with its advert for Virol and its tyrannical tea room lady who could be pgrsuaded to pull a pint at any time of day. Snow Hill's soaring heights contrasted strangely with the almost unnoticed Coventry Avenue. Meanwhile back to the rails and our speaker was parading almost the whole range of railway livery. Plum and split milk coaches had an appeal all of their own. Any idea that the permanent way was for permanent trains was soon shattered by the interspersal of occasion services. There was the Bolshoi Ballet Special and a train that ran in association with the festival of Britain. Lineside memorabilia got more than just a mention. Water troughs, signalboxes, speed gantries and motive power depots all found a place in the cavalcade of railway history. Steam may now be limited to the occasional enthusiast's excur- sion but it is talks like this that really recall the smoke plume and smut of a past generation. The next time you hear "British Rail regrets" don't forget that tyrannical lady at Hatton!
