  • The Development of the Welsh Country House

    The Development of the Welsh Country House

    The Development of the Welsh Country House: ‘dy lŷs enaid y wlad /your court, the soul of the land ’ Aberbechan, near Newtown, Powys by John Ingleby, 1796. A house celebrated in bardic poetry for architectural achievements. NLW/PD9162 PhD Archaeology 2015 Mark Baker Summary This thesis focuses on two main themes in the architectural history of the country house in Wales, investigating firstly its development, and secondly some of the distinctively Welsh features of these houses. It argues that both themes have been marginal in recent historiography of Welsh architecture, culture and society. In this work, houses owned by families of Welsh descent are discussed to ascertain whether ethnicity and nationhood are actually identifiable in the architecture. Critical analysis of built fabric is supplemented and supported by primary sources such as the poetry of the bards, building accounts and records, architectural drawings, travel journals, photographs, works of art and a variety of secondary sources. In this thesis, it becomes apparent that one of the most distinctive features of country houses in Wales is the unit-system. Thi s form of dual planning is a peculiarly Welsh feature, enabling two ‘households’ to co -exist simultaneously, adjacent to each other but not necessarily physically connected. Such forms of building are absent from most regions of England, and its presence here is due to differences in the development of the Welsh family. The existence of a different legal system and associated customs in Wales, such as the prominence of gavelkind and female inheritance, are thus expressed in physical form. This practice has set a precedent for design and planning which has influenced a distinctly Welsh country house plan, based not only upon the need to accommodate several family members but also on a desire to preserve the domestic property of their ancestors as a physical manifestation of precedency, pedigree and memory.

  • Illegitimate Births in Gloucester, MA, 1855-1894

    Illegitimate Births in Gloucester, MA, 1855-1894

    ILLEGITIMATE BIRTHS IN GLOUCESTER, MA, 1855 – 1894 The term “illegitimacy” is derived from the Latin illegitimus, meaning “not in accordance with the law.” A child is considered illegitimate when it is conceived and born outside of the regulatory sanctions of marriage. In order to facilitate genealogical research the Gloucester, Massachusetts, City Archive department is in the process of building a series of data bases of the births, marriages, and deaths that took place in Gloucester in the last half of the 19th century. As we entered birth information into this data base we wondered what became of those children identified as ‘illegitimate.’ The following is a result of those ruminations. Please note that the figures provided are not conclusive, as during the period 1860 to 1875 the legal status of the child was only sporadically noted in the official records – an interesting fact in and of itself. Also, at the time of this survey, deaths were only available in an easily searchable format for the years between 1851 and 1873. Obtaining the figures from 1874 to 1894 would have consumed more time than was available to this researcher. Nonetheless, certain conclusions can still be drawn from the easily obtainable records. Illegitimate births accounted for less than 1% of the overall births in Gloucester during the thirty-nine years spanned by the survey, and were equally divided between the sexes (108 boys and 107 girls). This figure seems extraordinarily low compared, for instance, to the year 2000 when approximately 26% of all births in Massachusetts were recorded as illegitimate. However, one must take into account various social factors.
  • 'The Country of My Heart': Lord Howard De Walden and Wales

    'The Country of My Heart': Lord Howard De Walden and Wales

    18 ‘The Country of my Heart’: Lord Howard de Walden and Wales Hazel Walford Davies The subject of this lecture is the eighth Lord Howard de Walden, or Thomas Evelyn Scott-Ellis (1880–1946), dramatist, librettist, essayist, linguist, medievalist, actor, poet, and painter – a Renaissance man. He was also a billionaire, professional national fencing champion, owner of Haymarket Theatre, hunter of wild animals on his Kenyan estate, rally racing driver, and owner of race horses, yachts, and estates. Here was a very English lord who, in 1911, on the occasion of his engagement to Margherita von Raalte, was described as ‘England’s richest bachelor peer’, and his Marylebone estate as ‘a veritable Eldorado’. My aim will be to trace this deeply English aristocrat’s determined attempt from 1911 onwards to create a modern Welsh identity, not only for himself, but also for Wales, ‘the country of my heart’– a phrase to which I shall return. That this lecture is delivered at 11 Chandos Street, Cavendish Square, London, has a certain appropriateness, since the location forms part of the Lord Howard de Walden estate. And Lord Howard de Walden himself was of course for many years a major player and patron in the history and management of the Honourable Society of Cymmrodorion. At the Annual General Meeting of the Society on 30 January 1936, it was noted that ‘the Rt. Hon. Lord Howard de Walden has indicated his willingness to accept nomination for the Presidency’.1 Members of the Council felt that ‘from the service Lord Howard de Walden has already rendered to cultural causes in Wales, and the pleasure with which he accepted the nomination […] the Society could find no person who could better fill this high office’.2 On his death, ten years later, it was noted in the ‘Report of the Council of The Honourable Society of Cymmrodorion’, that: [The] Society had suffered a great loss in the passing of our President, Lord Howard de Walden.
