  • A Brief History
    Set in the middle of a 1,500 acre estate surrounded by stunningly beautiful parkland on the River Boyne, Slane Castle is a superb & unique venue for your wedding. A Brief History Slane Castle celebrated its bicentennial year in 1985, an occasion that was marked by the official opening of the Castle to the public. The Castle as you see it today was reconstructed under the direction of William Burton Conyngham, & his nephew the first Marquess Conyngham, who inherited the Slane Estate from his uncle General Henry Conyngham on his death in 1796. This reconstruction commenced in 1785, & is principally the work of James Gandon, James Wyatt & Francis Johnston. Francis Johnston, one of Ireland’s most distinguished architects, is responsible for the dramatic gothic gates on the Mill Hill in Slane. The present head of the Conyngham family is the eighth Marquess Conyngham, known formerly as Henry, the Earl of Mount Charles. Lord Henry is proudly continuing an active association between the Conynghams & Slane Castle dating back to the beginning of the eighteenth century. Throughout the centuries, Slane Castle has entertained a variety of guests from historical figures including King George IV – for whom the Ballroom was originally designed – to modern legends like U2, the Red Hot Chilli Peppers & The Rolling Stones. Indeed, it has become famed worldwide as the original Rock ‘n Roll castle. An Exclusive Wedding Venue Slane Castle offers each client exclusive use of this beautiful venue for their wedding day, using the King’s Ballroom which seats 110 guests or the Burton Hall seating 240 guests.

  • The Suffolk Institute of Archaeology
    THE SUFFOLKINSTITUTE OF ARCHAEOLOGY: ITS LIFE, TIMESANDMEMBERS by STEVENJ. PLUNKETT The one remains —the many change and pass' (Shelley) 1: ROOTS THE SUFFOLKINSTITUTE of Archaeology and History had its birth 150 years ago, in the spring of 1848, under the title of The Bury and West Suffolk Archaeological Institute. It is among the earliest of the County Societies, preceded only by Northamptonshire and Lincolnshire (1844), Norfolk (1846), and the Cambrian, Bedfordshire, Sussex and Buckinghamshire Societies (1847), and contemporary with those of Lancashire and Cheshire. Others, equally successful, followed, and it is a testimony to the social and intellectual timeliness of these foundations that most still flourish and produce Proceedingsdespite a century and a half of changing approaches to the historical and antiquarian materials for the study of which they were created. The immediate impetus to this movement was the formation in December 1843 of the British ArchaeologicalAssociationfor the Encouragementand Preservationof Researchesinto the Arts ancl Monumentsof theEarly and MiddleAges, which in March 1844 produced the first number of the ArchaeologicalJ ournal.The first published members' list, of 1845, shows the members grouped according to the counties in which they lived, indicating the intention that the Association should gather information from, and disseminate discourses into, the counties through a national forum. The thirty-six founding members from Suffolk form an interesting group from a varied social spectrum, including the collector Edward Acton (Grundisburgh), Francis Capper Brooke (Ufford), John Chevallier Cobbold, Sir Thomas Gery Cullum of Hawstead, David Elisha Davy, William Stevenson Fitch, the Ipswich artists Fred Russel and Wat Hagreen, Professor Henslow, Alfred Suckling, Samuel Tyrnms, John Wodderspoon, the Woodbridge geologist William Whincopp, Richard Almack, and the Revd John Mitford (editor of Gentleman'sMagazine).

  • A History of Bifrons Mansion House
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society A HISTORY OF BIFRONS MANSION HOUSE B.M. THOMAS 1. INTRODUCTION A report on the excavation of the foundations of the vanished mansion house of Bifrons in Patrixbourne has recently appeared in this Journal.1 This compilation started as a brief history of the house and its re-building and alteration over the past 400 years or so, written to accompany the work done to uncover the foundations, which was added to as further information came to light in the course of other work. 2. THE BARGRAVE FAMILY The first house on the site of Bifrons of which we have any evidence is said to have been built by a John Bargrave according to Hasted.2 Hasted says that the family were resident in the nearby village of Bridge, and John was the eldest son of Robert Bargrave who died in 1600. There is some documentary and other evidence concerning the Bargrave family - alternatively known as Bargar - but it is insufficient to explain how they came by the wealth to build a house of such generous proportions as Bifrons; though it was by no means a palace. Certainly one member of the family, Isaac, the brother of the John who is reputed to have built Bifrons, achieved some note in history by becoming Dean of Canterbury Cathedral but the father, Robert, who was buried in the chancel of Bridge church, was a tanner by trade and described as a yeoman.

The right way has generally come about by use extending over a long period among the title-holders themselves or those allied to them. Even to these it presents some difficulties, so that some such assistance to their right use as will be found in the following pages should be of service. It seems desirable to add that the suggestions for letter endings given in the book are not necessarily to be followed rigidly. They may be varied with the writer's own idea of the appropriate. A note of thanks is due from the editor to those kind correspondents who have suggested additions and im- provements, many of them incorporated in this, the ninth edition.
