Fine building is synonymous with Robert Marriott Ltd., a member of the Robert Marriott Group, famous for quality building since 1890. In the past 80 years Marriotts have established a reputation for meticulous craftsmanship on the largest and small­ est scales. Whether it is a £7,000,000 housing contract near Bletchley, a new head­ quarters for Buckinghamshire County Council at Aylesbury (right) or restor­ ation and alterations to Easton Maudit Church (left) Marriotts have the experi­ ence, the expertise and the men to carry out work of the most exacting standards and to a strict schedule. In the last century Marriotts made a name for itself by the skill of its crafts­ men employed on restoring buildings of great historical importance. A re­ markable tribute to the firm's founder, the late Mr. Robert Marriott was paid in 1948 by Sir Albert Richardson, later President of the Royal Academy, when he said: "He was a master builder of the calibre of the Grimbolds and other famous country men. He spared no pains and placed ultimate good before financial gain. No mean craftsman him­ self, he demanded similar excellence from his helpers." Three-quarters of a century later Marriotts' highly specialised Special Projects Division displays the same inherent skills in the same delicate work on buildings throughout the Midlands. To date Hatfield House, Long Melford Hall in Suffolk, the Branch Library at Earls Barton, the restoration of Castle Cottage at Higham Ferrers, Fisons Ltd., Cambridge, Greens Norton School, Woburn Abbey restorations and the Falcon Inn, Castle Ashby, all bear witness to the craftsmanship of Marriotts.

  • Struensee's Ghost: Narratives of Pascal Paoli and Ebenezer Richardson in Philadelphian Newspapers, 1767
    O’Donnell 1 Struensee’s Ghost: Narratives of Pascal Paoli and Ebenezer Richardson in Philadelphian Newspapers, 1767 – 1776 In Copenhagen, January 1772, a revolution occurred in Denmark. The country rejected German culture and embarked on a new programme of re-discovering and redefining the Danish people.1 The Revolution was precipitated by the arrest of Count Johann Friedrich Struensee. Since 1771, Struensee had been the court favourite, Royal Secretary, and personal physician to the Danish King, Christian VII. He was eventually executed in April 1772 for treason and lèse-majesté, convicted of signing the King’s name without due authority.2 He had become a particularly noisome figure in Danish politics by heedlessly pursuing a modernising agenda of abolishing traditional privileges in favour of enlightened rule. And like other attempts in European courts, these ‘rational’ innovations were not greeted enthusiastically. Struensee first surrounded himself with a select group of cronies then systematically isolated himself from the court, along the way incurring the wrath of merchants, burghers, and industrialists. Struensee finally pressed his enlightened reform too far when he ordered the dissolution of the Royal Guards. By 1772 Struensee was protected only by the Queen, with whom he was having an illicit sexual relationship, and the King, who had long suffered from a deteriorating and dissociative mental illness –thought either to be schizophrenia or porphyria and probably not caused by excessive masturbation as Struensee himself diagnosed.3 When Struensee’s ministry was toppled, the old court party made the Queen Dowager Juliana regent, and the King’s half brother Frederick her Prime Minister – this was the Revolution.

The former work of the writer, entitled " Hall Marks on Gold and Silver Plate," has been so extensively patronised by the public as to call for six editions since the date of its first appearance in I860, supplying a most important aid to Ama- teurs and Collectors of Old Plate, enabling them to ascertain the precise date of manufacture by the sign manual of the Goldsmiths' Company, stamped upon it when sent to be assayed. That it has been generally appreciated is evident from the fact that it is to be found in the hands of every leading Goldsmith in the United Kingdom, as well as Amateurs and Possessors of family plate.
