TOOKS COURT, CHANCERY LANE, LONDON. PREFACE HRONICLERS are useful people, and are not as plentiful as they might be. Many interesting stories are thus lost, and tradition will perhaps in the near future become literally a thing of the past. It was due to the fact that one member of the Lumley family had a tenacious memory that this book came to be written. These memories were gathered to- gether, and soon grew into a considerable record. It then became necessary, if the book was to be of any public value, to verify the traditions. Family papers were put in order, searched and translated. The task outgrew the modest capacities of the author, and then the editor came to the rescue. After translating the family papers, searching the British Museum and the Record Offices, besides ob- taining access to vMuable papers in other families, notably those belonging to the .See of Winchester, Miss Benham was able to give the book value and authority; and if it should appeal to the thoughtful and learned, the thanks of the family and the author are due to her for the invaluable service she has rendered. The Appendix is chiefly her b VI PREFACE work. Both author and editor are greatly indebted to Mr. Algernon Graves, F.S.A., for the assistance he rendered in identifying the various portraits which illustrate the book, and beg to tender him their best thanks. — CONTENTS PAGE CHAPTER I Liulph, the founder of the family. —Uchtred ..... i CHAPTER II The three Sir William Lumleys. —Sir Robert.—Sir' Marmaduke Lumley and the Thweng arms.—Sir Ralph, first Baron Lumley.

Sir George Savile, Bart. ? Reytiolds 256 Born 1726; died January loth, 1784. Nollekens exhibited a marble bust of him in 1785. Benjamin AVilson painted a whole length of him before 1770; the plate, engraved by Basire, was exhibited at the Society of Artists in 1770. It would be difficult to say who painted this : it is good enough for Reynolds, but of a much later date than the Countess of Scarbrough (the date is probably 1783), and might be by B. Wilson, who did not die until 1788; he exhibited up to 1783. Mr. G. W. Fitzwilliam, of Milton House, Peter- borough, has a Reynolds of him.

O write the record of a family intimately asso- ciated with the history of the great English- speaking race from Anglo-Saxon times down to the present day is a task of no small magni- tude. When the present writer began, it was her intention to embody the early records in a preface, or at most an introductory chapter, and write a chatty account of the recent events in the Lumley history. When, however, the mass of family documents was put into her hands, she found so much material out of which to weave a veracious story, thrilling as any romance, that she attacked the work in a different spirit, and with the assistance of a friend who translated and arranged the documents at Sandbeck, and found others in the Record Office and at the British Museum, she has gathered together a consecutive history, which she hopes will be found full of interesting matter. The earlier records gather round Lumley Castle, which for long was the only family seat. In Camden’s “ Britannia,” first translated into English by Philemon Holland in i6io, “ we find the following ; From thence Were passeth by Lumley Castle, standing within a park, the ancient seat of the Lumleies, who descended from Liulph^ a man in this tract of right great nobility in the time of King Edward the Confessour, who married Aldgitha, the daughter of Aldreci B — 2 RECORDS OF THE LUMLEYS Earle of Northumberland.

  • Northeast England – a History of Flash Flooding
    Northeast England – A history of flash flooding Introduction The main outcome of this review is a description of the extent of flooding during the major flash floods that have occurred over the period from the mid seventeenth century mainly from intense rainfall (many major storms with high totals but prolonged rainfall or thaw of melting snow have been omitted). This is presented as a flood chronicle with a summary description of each event. Sources of Information Descriptive information is contained in newspaper reports, diaries and further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts and ecclesiastical records. The initial source for this study has been from Land of Singing Waters –Rivers and Great floods of Northumbria by the author of this chronology. This is supplemented by material from a card index set up during the research for Land of Singing Waters but which was not used in the book. The information in this book has in turn been taken from a variety of sources including newspaper accounts. A further search through newspaper records has been carried out using the British Newspaper Archive. This is a searchable archive with respect to key words where all occurrences of these words can be viewed. The search can be restricted by newspaper, by county, by region or for the whole of the UK. The search can also be restricted by decade, year and month. The full newspaper archive for northeast England has been searched year by year for occurrences of the words ‘flood’ and ‘thunder’. It was considered that occurrences of these words would identify any floods which might result from heavy rainfall.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-86508-1 - The Heads of Religious Houses England and Wales III, 1377-1540 Edited by David M. Smith Frontmatter More information THE HEADS OF RELIGIOUS HOUSES ENGLAND AND WALES 1377–1540 This final volume of The Heads of Religious Houses: England and Wales takes the lists of monastic superiors from 1377 to the dissolution of the monastic houses ending in 1540 and so concludes a reference work covering 600 years of monastic history. In addition to surviving monastic archives, record sources have also been provided by episcopal and papal registers, governmental archives, court records, and private, family and estate collections. Full references are given for establishing the dates and outline of the career of each abbot or prior, abbess or prioress, when known. The lists are arranged by order: the Benedictine houses (independent; dependencies; and alien priories); the Cluniacs; the Grandmontines; the Cistercians; the Carthusians; the Augustinian canons; the Premonstratensians; the Gilbertine order; the Trinitarian houses; the Bonhommes; and the nuns. An intro- duction discusses the use and history of the lists and examines critically the sources on which they are based. david m. smith is Professor Emeritus, University of York. © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-86508-1 - The Heads of Religious Houses England and Wales III, 1377-1540 Edited by David M.

  • The Heraldry of Queens' College Cambridge
    The Heraldry of Queens’ College, Cambridge By David Broomfield BA (Hons) Introduction The representations of the coat of arms of Queens’ College are many and varied. On the face of it they should be easy to agree. They were granted in 1575 by Robert Cooke, Clarenceux King of Arms, during his heraldic Visitation to Cambridge. According to Cooke Queen Margaret granted “unto the saide President and fellowes and their successors her armes to be used in the saide colledge as they stand depicted in this margent.” He added to Margaret’s paternal arms a border of green to differentiate those of the College from those of her family. However, the painting of the arms in the grant is in error and many of these mistakes find their way into the arms as shown in the College. The main problem in agreeing a definitive version of the College’s arms is that of reconciling different heraldic traditions. In England it is a principle that the “metals”, gold and silver, take precedence over the “colours”, blue, black, red, green and purple. This is best illustrated in the arms of Grey where the silver bar appears at the top of the shield and is then followed by blue and so forth. This is at variance with some Continental practice, for example the arms of Hungary have at the top a red band followed by silver. Also in most English arms six “bars” usually suffice but for Hungary the four silver bars are said to represent the four main rivers of Hungary. The curious agglomeration of quarterings in Margaret’s arms can be traced back to the first House of Anjou.

ILLUSTRATED DUBLIN WILLIAM McGEE, 18, NASSAU STREET 1902 ARMS OF THE BEWLEYS OF CUMBERLAND as confirmed to Sir Edmund Thomas Bewley by Ulster King of Arms. “THE expansion and extension of genealogical study is a very remarkable feature of our own times. Men are apparently awaking to the fact there are other families besides those described in the peerage that those families have their records, played their part in history furnished the bone and sinew of national action, and left traces behind them which it behoves their descendants to search out and keep in remembrance. There is nothing in this that need be stigmatised as vain and foolish; it is a very natural instinct, and it appears to be one of the ways in which a general interest in national history may be expected to grow. It is an increasing pursuit both in America and England, and certainly helps, by the promotion of careful investigation, and by the publication of recondite memorials, the more complete adjustment of personal and local details.” STUBBS’ Lectures on Medieval and Modern History. Printed at the Dublin University Press By Ponsonby & Weldrick PREFACE f any apology is needed for the present work, it will be Ifound, I think, in the extract from the late Bishop Stubbs’ Oxford Lectures given on a previous page. From the Pedigrees at the end of the book it will be seen that the descendants of the Bewleys of Cumberland are now scattered through England, Ireland, India, the British Colonies, and the United States of America ; and it is not only natural but right that some effort should be made to collect and preserve the records of their ancestors, and to show the evidence by which descent from them can be traced.
