  • The Patients of the Bristol Lunatic Asylum in the Nineteenth Century 1861-1900
    THE PATIENTS OF THE BRISTOL LUNATIC ASYLUM IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY 1861-1900 PAUL TOBIA A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of the West of England, Bristol for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Arts, Creative Industries and Education March 2017 Word Count 76,717 1 Abstract There is a wide and impressive historiography about the British lunatic asylums in the nineteenth century, the vast majority of which are concerned with their nature and significance. This study does not ignore such subjects but is primarily concerned with the patients of the Bristol Asylum. Who were they, what were their stories and how did they fare in the Asylum and how did that change over our period. It uses a distinct and varied methodology including a comprehensive database, compiled from the asylum records, of all the patients admitted in the nineteenth century. Using pivot tables to analyse the data we were able to produce reliable assessments of the range and nature of the patients admitted; dispelling some of the suggestions that they represented an underclass. We were also able to determine in what way the asylum changed and how the different medical superintendents altered the nature and ethos of the asylum. One of these results showed how the different superintendents had massively different diagnostic criteria. This effected the lives of the patients and illustrates the somewhat random nature of Victorian psychiatric diagnostics. The database was also the starting point for our research into the patients as individuals. Many aspects of life in the asylum can best be understood by looking at individual cases.

  • 'Capability' Brown
    ‘Capability’ Brown & The Landscapes of Middle England Introduction (Room ) Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown was born in in the Northumbrian hamlet of Kirkharle to a family of yeoman-farmers. The local landowner, Sir William Loraine, granted him his first gardening job at Kirkharle Hall in . Demonstrating his enduring capacity for attracting aristocratic patrons, by the time he was twenty-five Viscount Cobham had promoted him to the position of Head Gardener at Stowe. Brown then secured a number of lucrative commissions in the Midlands: Newnham Paddox, Great Packington, Charlecote Park (Room ) and Warwick Castle in Warwickshire, Croome Court in Worcestershire (Room ), Weston Park in Staffordshire (Room ) and Castle Ashby in Northamptonshire. The English landscape designer Humphry Repton later commented that this rapid success was attributable to a ‘natural quickness of perception and his habitual correctness of observation’. On November Brown married Bridget Wayet. They had a daughter and three sons: Bridget, Lancelot, William and John. And in Brown set himself up as architect and landscape consultant in Hammersmith, west of London, beginning a relentlessly demanding career that would span thirty years and encompass over estates. In , coinciding directly with his newly elevated position of Royal Gardener to George , Brown embarked on several illustrious commissions, including Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire, and Luton Hoo in Bedfordshire. He then took on as business partner the successful builder-architect Henry Holland the Younger. Two years later, in , Holland married Brown’s daughter Bridget, thus cementing the relationship between the two families. John Keyse Sherwin, after Nathaniel Dance, Lancelot Brown (Prof Tim Mowl) As the fashion for landscapes designed in ‘the Park way’ increased in of under-gardeners.

  • Health and Welfare Buildings Listing Selection Guide Summary
    Health and Welfare Buildings Listing Selection Guide Summary Historic England’s twenty listing selection guides help to define which historic buildings are likely to meet the relevant tests for national designation and be included on the National Heritage List for England. Listing has been in place since 1947 and operates under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. If a building is felt to meet the necessary standards, it is added to the List. This decision is taken by the Government’s Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). These selection guides were originally produced by English Heritage in 2011: slightly revised versions are now being published by its successor body, Historic England. Each guide falls into two halves. The first defines the types of structures included in it, before going on to give a brisk overview of their characteristics and how these developed through time, with notice of the main architects and representative examples of buildings. The second half of the guide sets out the particular tests in terms of its architectural or historic interest a building has to meet if it is to be listed. A select bibliography gives suggestions for further reading. This selection guide looks at hospitals, asylums, workhouses, almshouses and health centres. They provide strong architectural evidence of changing attitudes to the sick and destitute, and have long been some of our most functional buildings, as well as among our largest. Their design can say much about changing social attitudes and about science’s impact on architecture too. First published by English Heritage April 2011.

  • University Microfilms 300 North Zaeb Road Ann Arbor
    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Notes from the Unpublished Papers of Dorothy Stroud
    A list of landscapes that have been attributed to ‘Capability’ Brown This list, now in its fifth edition(16th December, 2016), has been compiled by John Phibbs from the work of others, primarily Dorothy Stroud, but also David Brown, Karen Lynch, Nick Owen, Susanne Seymour, Roger Turner, Peter Willis, and, in particular, my collaborator, Steffie Shields, who has checked and added to its drafts. The lists have also been shown to and commented on by the County Gardens Trusts. Great credit is due to all parties for their help. The list of attributions to Brown has elicited a good deal of correspondence for which I am very grateful, and among many others, thanks are due to Don Josey, Surrey Gardens Trust; Terence Reeves-Smyth and Patrick Bowe from Ireland; S.V.Gregory, Staffordshire Gardens Trust; Joanna Matthews, Oxfordshire Gardens Trust; Christine Hodgetts, Warwickshire Gardens Trust; the Dorset Gardens Trust; Kate Harwood, Hertfordshire Gardens Trust; Val Bott, Susan Darling and Barbara Deason, London Parks & Gardens Trust; Janice Bennetts, Wendy Bishop, Michael Cousins, Dr Patrick Eyres, Jane Furze, Tony Matthews, Jenifer White and Min Wood. Many correspondents have written with material about what Brown might have done at various places. I have to emphasise that the attributions list attempts to include all the places where he might have offered advice. It asks neither whether that advice was acted on, nor whether he was paid. The determination of what might have been done at any of these places is a distinct process and will always be open to question. The aim of this list is to assess the likelihood of each and all of the attributions that have been made to Brown.

  • The Veteran Trees of Warwickshire
    THE VETERAN TREES OF WARWICKSHIRE Steven Falk, 2011 An ancient oak at Ragley Park THE VETERAN TREES OF WARWICKSHIRE Introduction Traditionally, much fuss has been made of old buildings and other historic man-made structures in our countryside and built environment. Rather neglected amongst all of this until recently has been concern over some of our oldest living features, veteran trees. Through a series of historic circumstances, the British countryside has come to support a far greater density of old trees than most parts of either Europe or lowland North America. They survive in our ancient hedges (which can be of medieval origin or older), former deer parks, and sometimes perched on the sides of steep hills where various potentially damaging agricultural activities have failed to reach them. Many have seen the landscape around them change out of all recognition as they have become swallowed up by urban sprawl or changing land-use. Deer parks may have become replaced by business parks or golf courses but the original trees sometimes survive e.g. at Stoneleigh Park. Rural hedgerows may now be urban property boundaries. This results in an often incongruous modern location for many old trees. However, it also means that such trees furnish valuable clues about the history of an area, firing the imaginations of local people and furnishing a stronger sense of place and local identity. Imagine Baginton without its great oak. Unfortunately changing circumstances also result in much loss and damage and makes veteran tree conservation particularly challenging in a world where health and safety and legal liability carry a lot of sway.
