The Father of the House in the current (2019) Parliament is Sir Peter Bottomley, who was first elected to the House in a by-election in 1975. Under Standing Order No 1, as long as the Father of the House is not a Minister, he takes the Chair when the House elects a Speaker. He has no other formal duties. There is evidence of the title having been used in the 18th century. However, the origin of the term is not clear and it is likely that different qualifications were used in the past. The Father of the House is not necessarily the oldest Member.

Her funeral was held on 6th August and there is to be a Memorial Tribute to her on 2nd October at the Art Workers Guild in London. Felicity has been the authority on her parents’ lives for many years now and her Obituary in the Independent described her as ‘probably the last close link with the inner circle of extraordinary creative talents fostered or inspired by William Morris’ … her death ‘marks its [the Arts & Crafts movement] formal and final passing’. This first issue of Volume Number VI is a bumper issue full of connections. John Taplin, Andrew Davenport and Tim Clough (Editor of Rutland Local History & Record Society), after their initial queries to the Archive Room, all sent articles on their researches; the pieces on Maye Bruce and Thomas Phillipps are connected with new publications; there is an ‘earthy’ connection between with the Plough, Rutland and Bruce researches and the Phillipps and Whitfield articles both have Shakespeare connections.

  • The Canterbury Association
    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry.

Also papers of his only child surviving to adulthood, Mary Florence (1860-1902, married William Compton, fifth Marquess of Northampton), and their extended family, especially Louisa’s mother, the Hon. Mary Frederica Stewart Mackenzie of Seaforth (formerly Lady Hood) (1783-1862). These individuals are referred to below as Bingham, Harriet, Louisa, Mary and Mrs Stewart Mackenzie respectively. The importance of the papers lies in the enormous range of the correspondents: politicians British and French, writers, artists. Bingham was an MP from 1826 until he succeeded to the peerage, and this, as well as his family of bankers and politicians gave him a wide-ranging acquaintance. Harriet too was deeply interested in politics, and also knew many writers, presiding over a salon and conducting a large correspondence. Louisa was a well-known figure in society, especially in the artistic world. Mrs Stewart Mackenzie was a close friend of Sir Walter Scott. Particularly notable are the correspondences with Scott, Thomas and Jane Carlyle, Dr John Brown,

  • The Leicestershire Society
    TRANSACTIONS OJf THE LEICESTERSHIRE SOCIETY. VOLUME II. LEICESTER: CEOSSLEY AND CLARKE 1870. LEICESTER : PRINTED BY CBOSSLEY AND CLABKE. PREFACE. i)HE completion of Volume II. of the Transactions of the Leicestershire Architectural and Archaeological Society gives an opportunity of expressing the hope that the preserva­ tion of Papers read before the Society, and the registration of Antiquities, &c., shewn at its meetings, by means of these pages, have proved acceptable to the members. The Society should be the centre for the County of all things that can aid in forwarding the objects, and in advancing the studies, for the encouragement of which it was formed. The bi-monthly meetings should be, as they are now to some extent, the opportunities used for communicating topographical, historical, architectural, and antiquarian information from the various parishes in the County ; then it is conceived these volumes of Transactions would be of no mean value to students generally, and specially to future historians of Leicestershire. Bearing this in mind, the least valuable of the information contained in the following pages will appear worthy of pre­ servation. Each writer is responsible for his own Paper.
