NatSCA News Issue 17 Bringing a herbarium to life at Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery Jessica Shepherd, Natural History Research Assistant (St. Aubyn) Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery, Drake Circus, Plymouth, Devon, PL4 8AJ Email: [email protected] Abstract Sir John St. Aubyn (1758-1839) was a collector and facilitator to science and the arts. His particular interest was for mineralogy, but he also had interests in botany, which lead him to create a sizeable herbarium con- taining many interesting plants. Most of these have been collected in the field, but there are also specimens from early plant nurseries and important gardens in Europe. The notes on the herbarium sheets are also ex- ceptionally detailed. Adjacent to many species, the medicinal properties and domestic uses have been de- scribed. -
Intermarriage and Other Families This Page Shows the Interconnection
Intermarriage and Other Families This page shows the interconnection between the Townsend/Townshend family and some of the thirty-five families with whom there were several marriages between 1700 and 1900. It also gives a brief historical background about those families. Names shown in italics indicate that the family shown is connected with the Townsend/Townshend elsewhere. Baldwin The Baldwin family in Co Cork traces its origins to William Baldwin who was a ranger in the royal forests in Shropshire. He married Elinor, daughter of Sir Edward Herbert of Powys and went to Ireland in the late 16th century. His two sons settled in the Bandon area; the eldest brother, Walter, acquired land at Curravordy (Mount Pleasant) and Garrancoonig (Mossgrove) and the youngest, Thomas, purchased land at Lisnagat (Lissarda) adjacent to Curravordy. Walter’s son, also called Walter, was a Cromwellian soldier and it is through his son Herbert that the Baldwin family in Co Cork derives.

It should be noted however, that the connection with the GRENVILLE family has at present only been suggested in terms of Nos. 1, 2 and 3 Bridge Street. I am indebted to Andy Powell for locating many of the reference sources referred to below, and in providing valuable historical assistance to progress this research to its conclusions. In the main Statement of Significance Report, the history of the buildings was researched as far as possible in an attempt to assess their Heritage Value, with a view to the owners making a decision on the future of these historic Bideford properties. I hope that this will be of assistance in this respect.

Story of Henry the Forgetful!
TOKE GS CA IN N S A A L B and Odiham Castle The Story of ry The Forget Hen ful Story Trail www.hants.gov.uk/storytrails Basingstoke Canal and Odiham Castle Basingstoke Canal runs for 32 miles through scenic countryside between Greywell Village in Hampshire and Woodham in Surrey. Originally a transport system for agricultural produce, it had become derelict by the mid-1960’s, fuelling a campaign for its restoration. This resulted in its current renewed linkage into the 2,000 miles of British inland waterways. Designated as a Site of Special and Scientific Interest, it is an outstanding habitat for aquatic plant and animal life, with natural springs in the canal bed helping to keep it in water. Carefully restored canal bridges, the lakes and flashes near Mytchett and the flights of locks in Surrey are just some of the many features of the canal. Greywell Tunnel is especially interesting as it is home to many species of bats. After its collapse in 1932 it now blocks navigation to the original end point at Basingstoke. Another important feature of the canal is Odiham Castle, one of three strongholds built by King John, and the place from which he rode out to Magna Carta in 1215. Construction took place between 1207 and 1214 and involved setting out square moats and raising banks. In 1216, shortly after it was finished, it suffered a two-week siege at the hands of the French. During the 13th century it became home to the de Montfort family, and would have been one of the most powerful households in the land at the time. -

Rear Admiral Dennis Royle Farquharson Cambell, C.B., D.S.C. X7225 Dennis Cambell married Dorothy in 1933 and they remained happily in love and the best of companions for the next 67years! They have two daughters, six grandchildren and, to date, 6 great grandsons: Cal, Finn, Gabe, Alfie, Jonah and Cormac. His early years Dennis was born on 13 November 1907 in Southsea the eldest of four children. His parents, Dr Archibald Cambell (August 1880-December 1934) and Edith Farquharson Roberts (September 1881-November 1969) were married in 1906 and spent all their married life in Spencer Road, Southsea. Neville Kenneth Cambell was born in April 1911, Katharine in July 1913 and Brian in April 1919. All three sons joined the Fleet Air Arm, and Kay won a scholarship to read languages at Cambridge. In DRFC's formative years, his best friend was Alec Cook whose family lived around the corner from Spencer Road. (This friendship is still continued today by DRFC's younger and Alex's youngest daughter who have remained close friends since childhood. Although both women are in their fifties they date their friendship back 85 years!) DRFC went to Westminster School in 1921 where his form master was the forbidding Ernest Long Fox.At the end of his first term this man wrote on DRFC's report "the boy seems a perfect fool and incapable of learning anything". Fox was clearly not as perceptive as he was morose! Family Memories Of Neville, Kay says "Neville as a small boy was made a boarder at a nearby prep school because my father got very tired of dragging a reluctant child to school everyday. -
