    Nostell Priory: History of a House, 1730-85 Volume 1 of 2 Frances Sands Ph.D University of York Department of History of Art March 2012 Abstract Nostell Priory is one of the most important eighteenth-century buildings in northern England, with a neo-Palladian exterior, and French and Neo-Classical interior. Moreover, it is one of the most riclily documented houses in the National Trust portfolio, with a considerable hunily archive of correspondence and a large collection of architectural drawings. This thesis provides a design and construction history of Nostell, and focuses on the extant graphic and archival sources. Such material provides a rare opportunity to write a monograph of a house, providing a fuller account than lias hitherto been possible by exploring why and how it was built and decorated, along with a comprehensive architectural drawings catalogue. Nostell appears in general architectural texts by John Cornforth, Eileen Harris and others. These authors, however, analyse Nostell witliin larger studies, and this thesis aims to provide a necessary corrective, giving equal weight to questions of load context and patronage; architecture and design; interior decoration and furniture. Issues of social, politiad and connoisseurial ambition were the driving forces teliind the various phases of construction, which resulted in tensions between the public and private uses of the house, as expressed through the architectural ordering of space, and changes in room usage and decorative schemes. The number of creative and executant contributions at N ostell it is impossible to attribute the design of the house to a single author, resulting in a complex and fundamentally collaborative construction history.

    Index to Yorkshire Journal A full index to the previous year’s issues was published in each Spring issue from 1994 to 2004. It would be extremely time consuming to combine these annual indexes into a single master index, so the annual indexes are individually reproduced in the remainder of this document. Fortunately it is relatively simple to find all references using the search function in your reader – usually this is invoked by pressing the Cntrl and F keys simultaneously. No index exists for the last three 2004 issues, as publication ceased at the end of this year, Each reference is indexed by the issue number (in bold type) followed by the page number. The issue numbers are: Spring Summer Autumn Winter 1993 1 2 3 4 1994 5 6 7 8 1995 9 10 11 12 1996 13 14 15 16 1997 17 18 19 20 1998 21 22 23 24 1999 25 26 27 28 2000 29 30 31 32 2001 33 34 35 36 2002 37 38 39 40 2003 - 41 42 43 2004 44 45 46 47 There was also a trial issue (Winter 1992) referenced by 0 The following suffixes have been used to identify the different types of material being referenced: a an illustration: drawing, painting, etc p photograph cp cover photograph v verse dv dialect verse ss short story (R) book review For example, 2 110p refers to a photograph on page 110 of the summer 1993 issue.

W1–144), in which there was no mention of Pontefract or its castle. He would build the castle at the place which came to be known as Pontefract, and, to judge from his grandson’s charter, he made a valuable grant of tithes to endow a chapel of St Clement in the castle ‘pro salute Willelmi regis maioris, Willelmi filii eius, et filiorum ipsorum’, which was dedicated by Archbishop Thomas before 1100 (Farrer, Early Yorkshire Charters, iii. 185, no. 1492).1 After 1087 Ilbert was confirmed in the castlery by William II (W2/000, Regesta 372b), and his son Robert de Lacy was granted succession to his father’s estates at some time between 1091 and 1100 (W2/000, Regesta 312).

Carpenter, Faculty of History, University of Oxford Richard Sharpe, Faculty of History, University of Oxford NOSTELL PRIORY Augustinian priory of St Oswald King and Martyr County of Yorkshire : Diocese of York Founded c. 1114 Nostell was founded as an Augustinian priory in Henry I’s reign. Modern scholars have assigned the key role to Archbishop Thurstan as part of a pastoral strategy for his diocese (Nicholl, Thurstan, 127–36) or to King Henry himself as the backer of his supposed confessor Athelwold in introducing canons regular to an older foundation (Wightman, ‘Henry I and the foundation of Nostell priory’, 57–60). The charters printed here, supplemented by other material, show that Robert de Lacy I and Archbishop Thomas II were the key figures in the inception of a house of canons at Nostell, and that Thurstan played an important role in its subsequent development. The king’s support is shown by his gift of a daily pension, the churches of Bamburgh and Knaresborough, and certain other property, but there is scant evidence that he was particularly involved or interested in the foundation. The main source for acts of Henry I for Nostell is the cartulary, now BL MS Cotton Vespasian E. XIX (Davis 721). First compiled after 1263, the original foliation ran from fol.
