The Artistic and Architectural 1 THE ARTISTIC AND ARCHITECTURAL PATRONAGE OF ANGELA BURDETT COUTTS 2 VOLUMES VOLUME 1 Susan S. Lewis Thesis presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Royal Holloway, University of London, January 2012 2 I declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own: Susan Lewis……………………………… 3 ABSTRACT This thesis focuses on the life and artistic patronage of the Victorian philanthropist, Angela Burdett Coutts. As the daughter of both an aristocrat and a member of the nouveau riche Burdett Coutts was a product of both the new and old world of Victorian society and this thesis seeks to explore the ways in which Burdett Coutts fashioned an identity for herself through her patronage of art and architecture. It explores the ways in which taste, gender and class are reflected in Burdett Coutts’s collecting practice and examines her role as a patron through three case studies; as a collector of paintings, as a philanthropist and as a patron of architecture. Chapter One of the thesis examines Burdett Coutts’s collecting practice in relation to recent work on the cultures of collecting and the fashioning of identities with particular reference to aristocratic Victorian society. It contrasts Burdett Coutts with other notable female collectors of the period, and considers acquisition and display in relation to ideas of class identity. It also examines Burdett Coutts as ‘other’ within male dominated collecting practice and also examines the contrasting sites of acquisition, including auction, private sale and art dealer. Chapter Two looks at Burdett Coutts as patron and collector of art and Chapter Three uses biographical data to examine Burdett Coutts’s role as heiress and philanthropist in the fashioning of class identity. Chapter Four examines Burdett Coutts as a patron of architectural projects and considers the construction of St Stephens Church, Westminster and her contrasting domestic architectural projects in social housing and housing on her private estate. It concludes with her ambitious public architectural scheme at Columbia Market. 4 CONTENTS Acknowledgements. List of illustrations. Introduction.

Bibliography. 5 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank the many people who have provided help and information during the preparation of this thesis. In particular I wish to thank my supervisor, Dr Mary Cowling, for her patience, support, advice and encouragement over the years. The thesis benefited greatly from the access given to me by the Hon. William Burdett Coutts who allowed me to visit his home in Barnes, London to see the unpublished notes on the picture collection of Angela Burdett Coutts compiled by her secretary, Charles Osborne. This was an invaluable source of information on a subject for which comparatively little remains. Ms Tracey Earle, archivist at Coutts & Co, London gave access to the archive and helpful information on the correspondence of Thomas Coutts. The Earl of Harrowby kindly gave me access to the Harrowby archive at Sandon Hall, Staffordshire, and Michael Bosson, the manager of Sandon Hall, provided archive assistance and information in biographical matters relating to the family. Ms Christine Wagg of the Peabody Trust was happy to exchange biographical information, on which there is strangely little, on Henry Darbishire, provide sources for additional research and send me a substantial amount of literature on the first Peabody Estates. Special thanks must also go to Helen Smailes, Senior Curator of British Art at the National Gallery of Scotland for encouragement and very useful information on the life and work of Thomas Faed. Thanks to her I also received assistance and information from Paul McAuliffe, Assistant Keeper of Conservation for Edinburgh City Museum and Art Galleries, in the form of extracts from the Edinburgh City Council Minute Book, newspaper cuttings etc,. particularly in relation to Greyfriar’s Bobby. Ian MacCiver of the Manuscripts Division of the National Library of Scotland also provided extremely useful extracts from the Brodie Papers in Edinburgh City Archives. Similarly Dr Christiana Payne of Oxford Brookes University sent me useful information and advice on the work of James Collinson. 6 Dr Erin Blake of the Folger Shakespeare Library, Washington kindly provided me with information on the Shakespearean portraits and pictures formerly in the Burdett Coutts collection; John Richard, F.S.A, kindly gave me information on the pictures attributed to Holbein which had belonged to Burdett Coutts and David Mannings of King’s College, University of Aberdeen, answered my queries relating to paintings attributed to Reynolds in the collection. Mark Bills was most helpful regarding the work of Edwin Long and Simon Stokes clarified the law relating to copyright. The Rev. Phillip Walsh, vicar of St. Stephen’s Church, kindly provided information on the interior of St. Stephen’s Church, Westminster. My thanks also to the previous incumbent at St Stephens, the Rev. Ralph Godsall; Patrick Crawford, Church Architect at Caroe & Partners; Paul Barlow, the Keeper of Fine Art, Royal Pavilion Library and Museum, Brighton; Leslie Carlyle; Dr. Richard Dennis of University College, London; the late Lady Edna Healey and Ms A. Martinez-Guitarrez of the Archive Department at Christies’ Auction House, all of whom kindly answered queries or provided information for me. I would also like to thank the staff of the following archives and libraries who provided me with assistance during my visits and research at their institutions: The British Library; Lambeth Palace Library; the City and Metropolitan Archive, Clerkenwell; The Church Building Council, Westminster; Hove Public Library, East Sussex; the London Borough of Camden Local History Library and Archive, staff here were particularly helpful with information relating to census returns for Holly Village and the Art Students Home in Brunswick Square; The Heinz Archive, National Portrait Gallery, London; the National Art Library at the Victoria and Albert Museum; the Paul Mellon Centre, Bloomsbury; the Royal Institute of British Architects, London; the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, London; the Witt Library, the Courtauld Institute; the Public Record Office, London; the Watts Gallery, Compton, Surrey; Westminster City Library, West Sussex County Record Office, Chichester and finally to Worthing Library, West Sussex whose staff patiently and good naturedly extracted obscure publications from their reserve collection. Finally, I would like to thank my husband, Mark, for his considerable patience and help (especially with computer problems) over the years, and latterly my children, Nicholas and Simon, for their tolerance. 7 LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS 1 Thomas Coutts by William Beechey, c. 1815. 2 Harriot Mellon as Volante, after William Beechey. 3.

    Edinburgh Graveyards Project: Documentary Survey For Canongate Kirkyard --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Canongate 1.1. Background Canongate’s close proximity to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, which is situated at the eastern end of Canongate Burgh, has been influential on both the fortunes of the Burgh and the establishment of Canongate Kirk. In 1687, King James VII declared that the Abbey Church of Holyroodhouse was to be used as the chapel for the re-established Order of the Thistle and for the performance of Catholic rites when the Royal Court was in residence at Holyrood. The nave of this chapel had been used by the Burgh of Canongate as a place of Protestant worship since the Reformation in the mid sixteenth century, but with the removal of access to the Abbey Church to practise their faith, the parishioners of Canongate were forced to find an alternative venue in which to worship. Fortunately, some 40 years before this edict by James VII, funds had been bequeathed to the inhabitants of Canongate to erect a church in the Burgh - and these funds had never been spent. This money was therefore used to build Canongate Kirk and a Kirkyard was laid out within its grounds shortly after building work commenced in 1688. 1 Development It has been ruminated whether interments may have occurred on this site before the construction of the Kirk or the landscaping of the Kirkyard2 as all burial rights within the church had been removed from the parishioners of the Canongate in the 1670s, when the Abbey Church had became the chapel of the King.3 The earliest known plan of the Kirkyard dates to 1765 (Figure 1), and depicts a rectilinear area on the northern side of Canongate burgh with arboreal planting 1 John Gifford et al., Edinburgh, The Buildings of Scotland: Pevsner Architectural Guides (London : Penguin, 1991).

  • Historical and Contemporary Archaeologies of Social Housing: Changing Experiences of the Modern and New, 1870 to Present
    Historical and contemporary archaeologies of social housing: changing experiences of the modern and new, 1870 to present Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester by Emma Dwyer School of Archaeology and Ancient History University of Leicester 2014 Thesis abstract: Historical and contemporary archaeologies of social housing: changing experiences of the modern and new, 1870 to present Emma Dwyer This thesis has used building recording techniques, documentary research and oral history testimonies to explore how concepts of the modern and new between the 1870s and 1930s shaped the urban built environment, through the study of a particular kind of infrastructure that was developed to meet the needs of expanding cities at this time – social (or municipal) housing – and how social housing was perceived and experienced as a new kind of built environment, by planners, architects, local government and residents. This thesis also addressed how the concepts and priorities of the Victorian and Edwardian periods, and the decisions made by those in authority regarding the form of social housing, continue to shape the urban built environment and impact on the lived experience of social housing today. In order to address this, two research questions were devised: How can changing attitudes and responses to the nature of modern life between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries be seen in the built environment, specifically in the form and use of social housing? Can contradictions between these earlier notions of the modern and new, and our own be seen in the responses of official authority and residents to the built environment? The research questions were applied to three case study areas, three housing estates constructed between 1910 and 1932 in Birmingham, London and Liverpool.

  • Visualising Victoria: Gender, Genre and History in the Young Victoria (2009)
    Visualising Victoria: Gender, Genre and History in The Young Victoria (2009) Julia Kinzler (Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany) Abstract This article explores the ambivalent re-imagination of Queen Victoria in Jean-Marc Vallée’s The Young Victoria (2009). Due to the almost obsessive current interest in Victorian sexuality and gender roles that still seem to frame contemporary debates, this article interrogates the ambiguous depiction of gender relations in this most recent portrayal of Victoria, especially as constructed through the visual imagery of actual artworks incorporated into the film. In its self-conscious (mis)representation of Victorian (royal) history, this essay argues, The Young Victoria addresses the problems and implications of discussing the film as a royal biopic within the generic conventions of heritage cinema. Keywords: biopic, film, gender, genre, iconography, neo-Victorianism, Queen Victoria, royalty, Jean-Marc Vallée. ***** In her influential monograph Victoriana, Cora Kaplan describes the huge popularity of neo-Victorian texts and the “fascination with things Victorian” as a “British postwar vogue which shows no signs of exhaustion” (Kaplan 2007: 2). Yet, from this “rich afterlife of Victorianism” cinematic representations of the eponymous monarch are strangely absent (Johnston and Waters 2008: 8). The recovery of Queen Victoria on film in John Madden’s visualisation of the delicate John-Brown-episode in the Queen’s later life in Mrs Brown (1997) coincided with the academic revival of interest in the monarch reflected by Margaret Homans and Adrienne Munich in Remaking Queen Victoria (1997). Academia and the film industry brought the Queen back to “the centre of Victorian cultures around the globe”, where Homans and Munich believe “she always was” (Homans and Munich 1997: 1).

  • Thomas Hardwick Jnr. (1752-1827)
    THOMAS HARDWICK JNR. (1752-1827) The name of Hardwick in the field of architecture was the most prominent name during the 19th century. From the late 18th century until 1892 the Hardwick Dynasty contributed some of the finest buildings in London and helped restore a great many too. Born in Brentford, greater London, to a prosperous master mason Thomas Hardwick Snr. (1725 -1798) who worked with the Adam brothers during the building of Syon House. Hardwick Jnr. underwent his training during the construction of the Somerset House and was tutored by William Chambers. He became a member of the Royal Academy and won the prestigious gold medal in architecture. Then came his travel to Europe with his close friend/rival Sir John Soane; together they visited Italy and France. Thomas became a notable church architect and the church of St Mary’s is his finest piece of work in London. The building is a prime example of Regency architecture. His other work included the restoration of St James, Piccadilly, St. Paul’s, Convent Garden and St Bartholomew-the-less, in Smithfield. He was also appointed Clerk of Works by King George III at both Hampton Court and Kew Palace. In his later years he became a tutor to none other than JMW Tuner whom he persuaded to concentrate more on painting rather than architecture! He had two sons, John Hardwick, whom became a famous magistrate in London, and also Philip (1792-1870) who would become the second architect in the Hardwick line and who took over his father’s office in 1825.

  • Victoria & Abdul
    Victoria & Abdul For those Anglophiles who want another immersion in the warm, luxurious stew of the British monarchy, look no further for your latest fix than “Victoria and Abdul,” an engaging if utterly predictable dip into late Victorianism by a whole passel of old British pros, plus an attractive newcomer. All you need to know is that Dame Judi Dench rules this film as Queen Victoria, way late in her reign, alienated from her son (the future Edward VII), sour as vinegar from her unending rule, and looking for some—any—breath of the novel and the fresh. As she herself admits when challenged in the film: ”I am cantankerous, greedy, fat; I am perhaps, disagreeably, attached to power.” Her relief comes in the form of one Abdul Karim, a young, literate Indian Muslim (Ali Fazal) who is selected to come to London from Agra in 1887 to deliver a special commemorative coin to Her Majesty on the occasion of her Golden Jubilee. Abdul is supposed to be invisible to the Queen, but instead he catches her eye, then her mood, and finally, her spirit to the point where he becomes her teacher, or “munshi,” in all things Muslim and Indian as well as serving as her clerk. Theirs is a relationship which appalls her family—including the Prince of Wales (a bombastic Eddie Izzard)— and the court—especially in the person of Sir Henry Ponsonby (the uptight Tim Pigott- Smith) but which lasted until the Queen’s death in 1901. Sound familiar? Of course, we are in the same realm as the earlier “Mrs.
