    FHS NL 170 21/4/08 2:54 PM Page 1 THE FURNITURE HISTORY SOCIETY Newsletter No. 170 May 2008 THE RAWLINSON BOOKCASE BY GILLOWS OF LANCASTER SUCCESSFULLY ACQUIRED We can now celebrate the successful campaign by Lancashire County Museum Service (reported in November’s Newsletter) to raise £260,000 to save an exceptional eighteenth- century Gillows bookcase. The full amount was raised with the help of £100,000 from the Art Fund (Richard Wilson Harris bequest) and additional support from the National Heritage Memorial Fund, the MLA/V&A Purchase Grant Fund, the North West Regional Development Agency, Lancashire County Council and Samlesbury Decorative and Fine Art Society. Lancashire County Museum Service wishes especially to thank Sir Nicholas Goodison, President of the FHS, whose letter detailing the importance of the bookcase and expressing the support of the Council of the Society so much assisted the campaign to keep this rare and outstanding piece of furniture in the country. This magnificent bookcase is one of the most outstanding and fully documented examples of furniture made by Gillows of Lancaster in a period only some forty years after its establishment by Robert Gillow (1702/3–1772) in 1728. Very little of the firm’s pre-1790 production is even accredited, let alone fully documented like this piece. Mary Hutton Rawlinson (1715–86), for whom it was made in 1772, was the widow of Thomas Hutton Rawlinson (1712–69), a Quaker merchant whose fortunes had progressed from the owner- ship of a Lancashire ironworks to a close involvement in the Slave Trade.

  • " a Waste of Good Wood"? Gillows and Their Furniture, 1760-1800
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON 'A WASTE OF GOOD WOOD'? GILLOWS AND THEIR FURNITURE, 1760-1800 IN TWO VOLUMES VOLUME ONE ELEANOR MARY QUINCE DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY CENTRE FOR STUDIES IN ARCHITECTURE AND URBANISM SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES SEPTEMBER 2003 The candidate confirms that this is the result of work done wholly while she was in registered postgraduate candidature. She also confirms that this is her own work and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. ERRATA E. M. Quince, Doctor of Philosophy, September 2003 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT CENTRE FOR STUDIES IN ARCHITECTURE AND URBANISM SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES Doctor of Philosophy 'A WASTE OF GOOD WOOD'? GILLOWS AND THEIR FURNITURE, 1760-1800 By Eleanor Mary Quince This study asks a question of three bodies of material: who were Gillows? As a furniture-making firm, working between 1760 and 1800, Gillows have been recorded within furniture history, within a biography by historian Lindsay Boynton and within their own records, their autobiography. Furniture history is viewed within this thesis as a construction, a history that both includes and excludes. Roland Barthes' exercise in the semiology of fashion. The Fashion System, is used as a means of viewing the taxonomic system of classification that the furniture historians have employed to categorise old English furniture. I assert that this, the furniture system, has sought to use style, age and author to determine the nature of eighteenth-century furniture. A discussion of how Gillows have been viewed by the furniture historians provides an image of the firm as provincial, middle class makers, followers rather than leaders in the field of eighteenth-century furniture design.

  • The Staffordshire Way About the Staffordshire Way
    Official Guide THE STAFFORDSHIRE WAY ABOUT THE STAFFORDSHIRE WAY Long Distance footpath The Staffordshire Way is a long distance footpath which has been established by Staffordshire County Council. It spans the length of the County for 92 miles from Mow Cop to Kinver Edge. The route is based wholly on public rights of way or paths on which access has been granted. The Way is not one of the national long distance routes designated by the Countryside Commission, but has been created by the County Council to respond to a recognised demand for access to the Contents Page countryside. The route explores some of Staffordshire’s loveliest scenery and several of its most interesting towns and villages, as well as linking country parks and picnic places. ABOUT THE STAFFORDSHIRE WAY 2 - 3 Easy accessibility for as many people as possible was an essential factor in determining the route, so the Way starts just to the north of Stoke-on-Trent and Location Map 4 later runs close to the West Midlands Conurbation. To many people the Key to Route Maps 5 Staffordshire Way is virtually ‘on the doorstep’. The first 32 mile section of the Way from Mow Cop to Rocester opened in the spring of 1977 and proved to be a great success, receiving a commendation in the British Tourist Authority’s ‘Come to Britain’ awards for the best new tourist facilities of the year. The second stage PART ONE - GRITSTONE COUNTRY of the Way to Cannock Chase opened two years later, and the route was completed AND THE CHURNET VALLEY in 1983.
