  • The Sporting Baronet
    THE SPORTING BARONET SIR GEORGE ARTHUR HAMILTON BEAUMONT, 11TH BARONET OF STOUGHTON Born January 18th 1881 – Died October 2nd 1933 Sir George seated on one of his horses (probably “Coleorton”) in his racing colours of Scarlet cap and French Grey BY SAMUEL T STEWART – APRIL 2020 FORWARD Unfortunately, the Beaumont archives have been variously lost, stolen, or destroyed, and what remains is scattered and incomplete. It is known that an extensive archive existed at Coleorton Hall before the death of the 9th Baronet (1882), after which the hall was leased when the 10th Baronet abandoned his wife. The 11th Baronet only lived at the hall for nine years before his death in 1933, after which the property was leased and eventually purchased by the National Coal Board in 1948. The N.C.B. archive contained relevant documents only as far as their ownership or lease of property was concerned, and detailed examination of these papers suggested that the bulk of the 19th century Beaumont archive had been lost prior to 1948. The majority of the paperwork relating to Estate Management between 1850 and 1933, held at the “Ginn Stables” Estate Office was burnt in 1933, and the Ashby Solicitors cleared out most of their Beaumont documentation following the Waste Paper Drive during the war in 1943. Following the Beaumont’s’ parlous financial position in the second half of the 19th century, the hall was rented / leased during the period 1877 to 1926. It was leased for 25 years between 1901 and 1926 by the wealthy Abel-Smith’s. The Abel-Smith’s move to the hall approximately coincided with the time Sir George Arthur Hamilton Beaumont, 11th Baronet, joined the army at the age of twenty.

  • The Coleorton Sherwins'
    Coleorton Village History (As seen through the eyes of the newspapers) By Samuel T Stewart – 2015 Preface This book has been structured around newspaper articles of the day. Part 1 This is specific to Coleorton village life and features a comprehensive and fascinating selection of old newspaper articles for the period 1776-1951, with supplementary information and photographs added by the author where appropriate. The following is a typical short example:- The following appeared under the deaths column in the Leicester Chronicle dated Jan 17th 1829 Lately at Coleorton, in this County, James Prestall, aged 94 years and ten months. He was the oldest inhabitant of that place, and died in the same house he was born. He was the father of seventeen children and was esteemed by his neighbours as an honest, sober, and industrious man, from where he received many favours, particularly from the late Sir George Howland Beaumont and his Lady. The newspaper articles, give a wonderful insight into the village happenings in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. Part 2 This part features newspaper articles dedicated to “The Beaumonts” and “Coleorton Hall”. Numerous supplementary articles with photographs are again featured such as - The Design & Construction of the present Coleorton Hall and its gardens etc., The contributions of architects George Dance & Robert Chaplin, Wordsworth’s Winter Garden at Coleorton Hall, The Engraved Memorials, The visits of Constable & Haydon, A tribute to Montgomery Henderson, The lives of the Beaumont 11th and 12th Baronets. Part 3 The author felt that as he had already published a book on Methodism in Coleorton and the local area, we owed it to the Baptists, who in fact, had a longer history in Swannington and Coleorton, to try and find out something about them also.

  • The Golfer's Annual for 1869-70
    ONE ILLIKG AND SIXPEN : No. G-/PO2.. * « GOLFER'S ANNUAL FOR 18.69-70. COMPILED AMD EDITED BY CHARLES MACARTHFR. AYE: TROTTED AND PUBLTSIIED BY HENRY & GRANT. 16 PKEFACE. GOLF, the National Game of Scotland, and one of the most enticing of out-door exercises, is now so extensively indulged in as to deserve, at least, some statistical publication. A few years ago a work similar1 to this was published, but was not continued. Since then the practice of the Game has rapidly extended; and many solicitations having recently boon made to the Editor to bring out a GOLFER'S ANNUAL, his love for the Game, and his desire to gratify Golfers and others, induced him to undertake the work. The ANNUAL contains much interesting matter, such as a record of all the Golf Clubs at present known, with their respective. Competitions and Tournaments during the last three years, the llules of the Game observed by different Clubs, as well as other incidents; and the details of tho Competitions for the Champion Belt since its institution by the Prestwick Golf Club have been deemed of sufficient importance to entitle them to consider- able space. While imperfections may be apparent, it. is hoped that, though not claimed on its merits, the object of the ANNUAL will secure it a passport for this year, and that sufficient encouragement will be j^'ven for the appearance of its suc- cessor. The thanks of the. Editor avo due, and are now warmly tendered, to the Secretaries of the different Clubs, and others, who so readily furnished information in aid of his efforts.' 1JRUNTON C'OTTAGK, LONDON ROAD, EDINBURGH, Fubfuaiu, 1S70.
