A History of the Three Cups, Harwich, Essex Part Five
A HISTORY OF THE THREE CUPS, HARWICH, ESSEX PART FIVE – RECENT RESEARCH, ERRATA AND SOURCES This history of the Three Cups, Harwich, Essex has taken more than a year to complete and thus, as the individual parts were published, feedback was received and further discoveries made. In this penultimate Part, I bring together that additional information which, although out of synch with the previous four Parts, is in, more or less, chronological order. James Boswell and Dr. Samuel Johnson In an article titled ‘Dr. Johnson in Essex’ published Essex Countryside magazine in August 1969 writer Molly Tatchell revealed that, early in the morning of 5th August 1763, Dr. Johnson and Boswell left London in a stage-coach bound for Harwich. Boswell (pictured) was setting out on a grand tour of Europe and Dr. Johnson, apparently much to Boswell’s delight, had offered to accompany his young friend to Harwich to see him off on the boat for Holland. They arrived at Harwich the next day and ‘dined at the inn by themselves’, Tatchell stating that the inn was ‘almost certainly the Three Cups’ which was ‘at that time the best known inn in Harwich, and had a large share of the trade of those stopping overnight before embarking for the Continent.’ Boswell apparently remarked that Harwich was ‘so dull a place.’ Activities, Clubs and Auctions During the long period of time the Three Cups served the people of Harwich and visitors to the town it, like many other public houses, was utilised by many different clubs and organisations. As we have seen in earlier Parts, a number of civic functions and special receptions for visiting noble folk were held at the Three Cups as were auctions of property, farm equipment and animals.

1 Finding Wroth's Loughton Hall SUSIE WEST the Open University
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Open Research Online Finding Wroth’s Loughton Hall SUSIE WEST The Open University Lady Mary Sidney Wroth, daughter of Penshurst Place, Kent, made her marital home at Loughton Hall, Essex, and remained there as a widow until her own death in 1651.1 The house was burnt down in 1836, and little is known of its appearance or history. This is a loss in two major respects. Firstly, as the home of a major literary figure whose work draws heavily on her life, we might expect that the home environment she created was both shaped by and informed her evocation of place and space in her work. This is not to suggest that literary work can be read back into the built environment, but Loughton Hall should take its place amongst the houses within the Sidney circle: Penshurst Place, Wilton House and Houghton Conquest House, for example. There is more to say about its landscape setting. Secondly, Wroth had a role in remodeling the old house, and there is a tantalizing but unproven association with Inigo Jones, known to Wroth from the Court. This provides the second theme for this discussion, the Court and the classical tradition in architecture. The early decades of the seventeenth century in England are distinguished by what might be called a ‘classical turn’ in building, in the form of heightened awareness of and interest in the theory and practice of architecture as inherited from Italy and a Roman past.

Haigh1,2, Matthew P. Wadey1, Shari L. Gallop1, Heiko Loehr1, Robert J. Nicholls3, » Atmospheric dynamics Kevin Horsburgh4, Jennifer M. Brown4 & Elizabeth Bradshaw5 Coastal flooding caused by extreme sea levels can be devastating, with long-lasting and diverse consequences. Historically, the UK has suffered major flooding events, and at present 2.5 million properties and £150 billion of assets are potentially exposed to coastal flooding. However, no formal system is in place to catalogue which storms and high sea level events progress to coastal flooding. Furthermore, information Received: 19 January 2015 on the extent of flooding and associated damages is not systematically documented nationwide. Here we Accepted: 16 April 2015 present a database and online tool called ‘SurgeWatch’, which provides a systematic UK-wide record of Published: 12 May 2015 high sea level and coastal flood events over the last 100 years (1915-2014). Using records from the National Tide Gauge Network, with a dataset of exceedance probabilities and meteorological fields, SurgeWatch captures information of 96 storms during this period, the highest sea levels they produced, and the occurrence and severity of coastal flooding. The data are presented to be easily assessable and understandable to a range of users including, scientists, coastal engineers, managers and planners and concerned citizens.
