  • Home Guard: the Forces to Meet the Expected French Invasions / 1
    The Napoleon Series Home Guard: 1805 HOME GUARD: THE FORCES TO MEET THE EXPECTED FRENCH INVASION / 1 SEPTEMBER 1805 The Peace of Amiens lasted 14 months, until Britain declared war on France on 18 May 1803. Napoleon turned his attention to invading England, saying: "All my thoughts are directed towards England. I want only for a favourable wind to plant the Imperial Eagle on the Tower of London." He started to assemble an expeditionary force at Boulogne. The invasion scare started in the middle of 1803. In the next six months, the British government's call for volunteers to resist an invasion was met with a massive response; within a few weeks 280,000 men had volunteered, and the government was unprepared for this numbers of volunteers. The Invasion Scare lasted for roughly two years. Britain’s ‘Home Guard’ of an earlier era watched the coast of France nervously as the Emperor Napoleon assembled a vast armed camp centred on Boulogne, and named them the ‘Army of England’. On 26 August 1805, in response to dramatically changing political events in the east, the Emperor Napoleon ordered Marechal Berthier to send the newly-christened Grande Armèe on a line of march eastwards, ultimately towards Ulm, Vienna and the foggy hills of Austerlitz. Some 180,000 French troops left Boulogne. The Invasion Scare was over. The British Army to repel such an invasion, had it come, was as follows. Many of the General Officers were tasked with commanding the numerous Militia and Volunteer units, and seemingly often held multiple commands. This article, drawn from wide variety of articles and not all of a common date, presents as close a picture as can be discovered of the organisation and location of the regulars, militia and volunteers in the week Napoleon turned east.

  • 1 a Microhistory of British Anti-Slavery Petitioning Richard Huzzey This
    A Microhistory of British Anti-Slavery Petitioning Richard Huzzey This article refines our understanding of abolitionism as “the first modern social movement” through a microhistory of abolitionism in an eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British town. Examining requisitions, which collected signatures calling on a mayor to convene public meetings to launch parliamentary petitions or other associational activities, the article shows how anti-slavery mobilization in Plymouth grew amongst a multiplying variety of religious, political, cultural, and economic institutions. Through a prosopography of those initiating anti-slavery petitions, an analysis of the other requisitions they supported, and qualitative evidence from leading abolitionists’ personal papers, the article details the ways local leaders raised petitions for a national campaign. Civic and religious dynamism at this local level facilitated new forms of contentious mobilization on national and imperial issues. The article therefore directs causal attention to those socio-economic changes that underpinned the associational cultures of abolitionism. provided by Durham Research Online View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk CORE brought to you by 1 Insights into two major problems in modern history might lie in the scrawly pen strokes of Britons living in a port on the southern coast of England at the turn of the nineteenth century.1 Explanations both for the abolition of slavery and for the development of the ideal type of the modern social movement have pointed to the role of parliamentary petitioning in British communities of this period. The eventual emancipation of enslaved people in the Americas marked a crucial disjuncture in colonial and post-colonial economies, alongside striking transformations in humanitarian sentiment, international relations, and racial power across the Atlantic world.

It explores a number of trajectories embarked upon by Boydell and his artists in their collective attempt to promote an English aesthetic. It broadly argues that the Shakespeare Gallery offered an antidote to a variety of perceived problems which had emerged at the Royal Academy over the previous twenty years, defining itself against Academic theory and practice. Identifying and examining the cluster of spatial, ideological and aesthetic concerns which characterised the Shakespeare Gallery, my research suggests that the Gallery promoted a vision for a national art form which corresponded to contemporary senses of English cultural and political identity, and takes issue with current art-historical perceptions about the 'failure' of Boydell's scheme. The introduction maps out some of the existing scholarship in this area and exposes the gaps which art historians have previously left in our understanding of the Shakespeare Gallery.

  • Occasional Papers, No
    Occasional Papers, no. 46 SCUDAMORE DESCENDANTS OF CERTAIN YOUNGER SONS THAT CAME OUT OF UPTON SCUDAMORE, WILTSHIRE by Warren Skidmore Preface The Skidmores of both Somerset and Derbyshire were settled in the area surrounding the village of Wellow in Somerset from the late 15th century. A large number of descendants from around the world come from these ancestors. This family is well documented in Warren Skidmore’s “Thirty Generations”. However, where this family came from, as with the large Westerleigh, Gloucestershire branch, is unknown. Though Skidmore/Scudamore had been a local name in Upon Scudamore up to the 14th century, that branch of the family appeared to end and a cadet branch blossomed in Herefordshire. The family then reappeared in Somerset with a single mention of John Skydemor in 1441 in Dunkerton (next to Wellow) amerced in a view of frankpledge. The line that has been documented as continuous began with Robert Skydmor who is first noticed as a juror in a view of frankpledge in Wellow Hundred in 1486. Of course, this was a time before parish records were required. Unless a person is mentioned in a legal document that has survived they will not have been recorded, and it is likely that there are many people, and indeed generations, of which we do not know. Nevertheless, it does seem that the Wellow Skidmores migrated from elsewhere. The most likely place, given the size of the family there, would be Herefordshire. However, a possibility existed that they may have come from Devon. Skidmores were certainly prominent there, being farmers, clergy and lords of a manor.

  • John and Jane Cranch of Kingsbridge. the Role of Natural History in a Georgian Domestic Crisis
    Rep. Trans. Devon. Ass. Advmt Sci., 151, 219–244 © The Devonshire Association, December 2019 John and Jane Cranch of Kingsbridge. The role of natural history in a Georgian domestic crisis Ian M. Varndell PhD CBiol FRSB Brimley Cross, Bovey Tracey, Devon, TQ13 9DL Email. [email protected] Exeter-born John Cranch (1785–1816) is commemorated in the zoological literature for his ability as an assiduous biologist and to acknowledge his role as the ‘Collector of Objects of Natural History’ on an ill-fated expedition to the River Congo in Africa in 1816. His personal development from humble beginnings in Exeter and as a young shoemaker in Kingsbridge, to obsessive collector, systematist and Associate of the Linnean Society of London is charted. In 1809, he married Jane, his first cousin, who was an articulate and intelligent young woman. Her concerns about her husband’s behaviour were described in detail in the pages of a popular periodical and led to a dramatic interruption to John’s early ambitions. JOHN CRANCH (1785–1816) – THE MAKING OF ‘A REMARKABLE EXONIAN’ John Cranch died at the age of 31, almost certainly of Yellow Fever, on September 4th 1816 and was buried in Embomma (now Boma), a city and port on the Congo River estuary and one of the main trading centres and slave markets in Africa in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.1 His participation as the ‘Collector of Objects of Natural History’2 on an ill-fated expedition funded by the British Government to chart the Congo River and discover its source and natural assets has been well documented (Anonymous, 1818; Baring-Gould, 1925, pp.

  • Ilbert Family and Bowringsleigh
    The Ilbert Family My interest in the Ilbert family began last year when I was researching some of the names of the men who had died in the First World War and who were remembered on the Thurlestone war memorial. One name was Geoffrey Arthur Ilbert, who, in fact, never lived in Thurlestone, but was killed in action on 28th February 1917 and is descended from this family through his great-grandfather Courtenay Ilbert (1780- 1816). This led me to research the Ilbert family history so that I could understand the various relationships and the context with the Ilbert’s of Bowringsleigh. My research will take us from West Alvington, via Thurlestone and South Milton to Canada, France, India, Australia and New Zealand as well as big game hunting in the Sudan, to the Houses of Parliament and attending Court at Buckingham Palace. The name of ILBERT occurs in Domesday Book, as holding land in the county of Dorset, although it is reputed that the Ilberts came over to England with William the Conqueror and initially settled in the North of England. Prior to the 17th century, the family were wool merchants settled at Rill, in the parish of Buckfastleigh, in Devon. This slide is my interpretation of the Ilbert heraldic shield from the line drawing and the description in “A Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Commoners of Great Britain and Ireland, enjoying Territorial Possessions or High Official Rank but Uninvested with Heritable Honours” by John Burke, published in London in four volumes. Volume four published in 1838 records the Ilbert lineage to that date and their heraldic shield is described as; ILBERT (R.L., H.

Sir Thomas lived at Killerton, the Acland family home at Broadclyst. He was a Lecturing Member of the Plymouth Institution from 1855/65 – 1870/71. Babington, Charles Cardale (1808-1895) Botanist and Archaeologist Babbington (right) overlapped at Cambridge with Charles Darwin and, in 1829, they argued over who should have the pick of beetle specimens from a local dealer. He obtained the chair of botany at Cambridge in 1861 and wrote several papers on insects. ‘Beetles’ Babington, who was a member of the Devon & Cornwall Natural History Society, was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1851.
