Pittock Charles Edward Stuart In April 1746, as events at Culloden drifted away from the Jacobites, Lord Elcho called on his leader Charles to charge forward and save the day. When he failed to do so, and instead left the field, Elcho termed him « an Italian coward and a scoundrel» (Scott, p. 213; Ewald, 1875, II, p. 27-33), sometimes popularized as «There you go, you cowardly Italian». Elcho’s squadron of Lifeguard cavalry were one of the Jacobite army’s few crack units: their wealthy and arrogant commander had already loaned Charles Edward 1500 guineas, a loan that was never repaid: to Charles it was a wager on success, to Elcho a commercial transaction, as Frank McLynn (1988, p. 141) has argued. In April 1746, as events at Culloden drifted away from the Jacobites, a cornet in the Horse Guards noted that the Prince wanted to charge forward and save the day. Colonel O’Sullivan ordered Colonel O’Shea of Fitzjames’s (whose name did not appear in the 1984 Muster Roll) to take Charles to safety (Livingstone, 1984).

  • The Original 1949 Cover
    The original 1949 cover 1 This excellent and detailed history of the former parish of St Mary of the Assumption, Burnley (now part of the Parish of the Good Samaritan) was written by Margaret Durkin and originally published in small booklet form to mark the first centenary of St Mary’s church in 1949. The website author has endeavoured to reproduce Mrs Durkin’s work as accurately as he can, and as far as possible as it appeared in the original booklet, but acknowledges that any errors or omissions (hopefully none!) are his. With grateful thanks to John Durkin, eldest son of the author for kind permission to publish on this website, thus ensuring that a wider audience will benefit from Margaret Durkin’s treatise in future. 2 CHAPTER I. THE BURNLEY WOOD CHAPEL. Until the Reformation, all the people of Burnley were professed Catholics and the Parish Church of St. Peter was the centre of the religious life of the town. At the church, people met on Sundays and Feast Days to hear Mass; on every day of the week the offices of the Sacred Liturgy were performed by the priests, and, in the chantry chapels,1 Masses were offered up for the repose of the souls of the founders of the chantry and of their families. It was in 1534 that, for those who wished to remain Catholics, the conflict began between loyalty to the Sovereign and fidelity to religious beliefs. All the priests in Burnley took the oath of allegiance to Henry VIII as "Supreme Head of the Church" and the majority of laymen accepted the new system.

Hurren Sarah Tarlow THE GOLDEN AND GHOULISH AGE OF THE GIBBET IN BRITAIN Sarah Tarlow Palgrave Historical Studies in the Criminal Corpse and its Afterlife Series Editors Owen Davies School of Humanities University of Hertfordshire Hatfeld, UK Elizabeth T. Hurren School of Historical Studies University of Leicester Leicester, UK Sarah Tarlow History and Archaeology University of Leicester Leicester, UK This limited, fnite series is based on the substantive outputs from a major, multi-disciplinary research project funded by the Wellcome Trust, investigating the meanings, treatment, and uses of the criminal corpse in Britain. It is a vehicle for methodological and substantive advances in approaches to the wider history of the body. Focussing on the period between the late seventeenth and the mid-nineteenth centuries as a cru- cial period in the formation and transformation of beliefs about the body, the series explores how the criminal body had a prominent presence in popular culture as well as science, civic life and medico-legal activity. It is historically signifcant as the site of overlapping and sometimes contradic- tory understandings between scientifc anatomy, criminal justice, popular medicine, and social geography.

  • FAMILY RECOLLECTIONS My Memoirs by Kathleen De Beaumont [Unpublished Written Ca
    FAMILY RECOLLECTIONS My Memoirs by Kathleen de Beaumont [unpublished written ca. 1964] I have been asked to write these memoirs by my children and by my dear Cousin Priscilla, * Lady Norman. I am very conscious of the defects in their presentation, but I have tried to put down things that have remained as salient memories in my long life and their connection with my dear parents, and especially with my beloved husband. [* My mother’s eldest sister, Caroline, married the 7th Earl of Abingdon and in 1923 her daughter ‘Joey’ inherited part of the Towneley estate from her first cousin, Cosmo Gordon Lennox, only child of Lord Alexander Gordon Lennox and his wife Emily (my mother’s sister). In due course, Priscilla (Lady Alice’s daughter by her second marriage) inherited the Worsthorne portion of the Towneley estate from her mother who, in turn, passed the property over to her son Simon. It was only at the memorial service for my brother Maurice, Lord O’Hagan at St. James’s, Piccadilly on 21st February 1962, that Priscilla and I met for the first time in our lives which healed the sad breach between our families which had endured since our secession from the Church of Rome. ] I was born in 1876 at 19 Chesham Place, London, the eldest child of Lord and Lady O’Hagan, My two brothers, Thomas Towneley and Maurice Herbert Towneley and my sister, Mary Caroline, were also born there. Thomas became the second Baron — he died in South Africa in 1900 of enteric fever and my second brother, Maurice Herbert, succeeded him as Lord O’Hagan.

  • The North-West
    The North-West The North West of England is an area rich in Jacobite legacy for two reasons. Firstly, a number of prominent Jacobite families lived in the region. This accounts for the excellent Jacobite collections at Sizergh Castle and Stonyhurst College, as well as very good Jacobite collections at Levens Hall, Browsholme Hall, Lyme Park and elsewhere. Secondly, two Jacobite armies passed through the region. In 1715 the Jacobite army led by Thomas Forster MP marched down from the Scottish border to Preston in Lancashire. In 1745, Prince Charles Edward Stuart’s Jacobite army marched down from Scotland through the north-western counties - Cumberland, Westmorland, Lancashire and Cheshire - on its way to Derby, and then retreated through the same counties. Both armies were joined by some Englishmen men from the North-West after they arrived in the region. These military incursions and risings resulted in a number of military engagements, outlined below, and also some good modern day exhibitions in museums in the region, including the Harris Museum in Preston and Tullie House in Carlisle. Brampton, Cumbria Prince Charles Edward Stuart’s Jacobite army stayed in Brampton in mid-November 1745, on its way to Carlisle. At least two sites survive with direct Jacobite links. The Prince stayed in a house on High Cross Street, in the centre of the town. It became known as 'Prince Charlie's House' and it is now a shoe shop. There is a small plaque on the wall commemorating the Prince’s stay. It was in this house that he received the surrender of and the keys to the city of Carlisle, presented to him by the aldermen of the city.
