  • U DDCH Papers of Sir Charles and 1794 - 1918 Lady Mary Chichester
    Hull History Centre: Sir Charles and Lady Mary Chichester U DDCH Papers of Sir Charles and 1794 - 1918 Lady Mary Chichester Historical background: Charles Chichester was born 16 March 1795, the second son of Charles Joseph Chichester (1770-1837) of Calverleigh Court, Devon, and his wife Mary Honoria. He attended the catholic seminary, Stonyhurst, and was appointed ensign in the 14th Foot in 1811 and soon after became lieutenant. He served in the Mediterranean. From 1817 he served in India and, in 1821, he transferred, as lieutenant, to the 2nd light infantry battalion of the 60th regiment in America. He became captain in 1823 and major in 1826 (his 1821 passing out from Sandhurst and other commissions and promotions are at U DDCH/25-28, 104). Papers relating to Charles Chichester begin in the 1820s. His letters 1818 to 1825 are at U DDCH/37 and include letters to and from his aunt (later also his mother-in-law) written mostly when he was in Halifax, Nova Scotia. U DDCH/70-74 comprise Charles Chichester's diaries from this period of army service and travel and they are especially valuable for descriptions of Canada and the United States (there is also a description of Nova Scotia in 1822 at U DDCH/122 and a book of poems and sketches from 1823 at U DDCH/136). He travelled not only with the army, but also while on leave, and on such a trip he visited Boston, Harvard, New York, Saratoga, West Point, Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Buffalo. He also made a point of seeing Niagara Falls and commented that 'the rays of the sun striking upon it [the haze of mist], produces the most beautiful rainbows which appear, vanish, and change their positions eternally...the roar is not so loud as I expected'.

  • Catholic Politics and Creating Trust in Eighteenth-Century England
    1 Catholic politics and creating trust in eighteenth-century England Abstract: In eighteenth-century law and print, English Catholics were portrayed as entirely untrustworthy, and their exclusion from all aspects of English society encouraged. Yet, as many local studies have shown, there were many individual instances of relatively peaceful coexistence between Protestants and Catholics in this period. This article explores why this was the case by examining how Catholics overcame labels of untrustworthiness on a local level. Using the remarkable political influence of one high-status Catholic in the first half of the eighteenth century as a case study, it questions the utility of “pragmatism” as an explanation for instances of relatively peaceful coexistence in this period. Instead it focuses on the role that deliberate Catholic resistance to legal disabilities played in allowing them to be considered as trustworthy individuals in their localities. The resulting picture of coexistence points towards a moderation of the historiographical emphasis on mutual compromise between confessions in favour of attention to the determined resilience of minority groups. In explaining this, this article makes the broader point that the influence of trust, long important in studies of early modern economic, political, and social relationships, is ripe for exploration in the context of interconfessional relations. Key words: coexistence; trust; elections; stereotypes; eighteenth century. 2 Mr Robert Walpole stood up, and represented the great dangers this nation had been in, ever since the Reformation, from the constant endeavours of Papists to subvert our happy constitution and the Protestant Religion, by the most cruel, violent, and unjustifiable methods1 This view of Catholics as entirely untrustworthy was a commonplace of eighteenth-century anti- Catholicism.

  • EAST RIDING of YORKSHIRE HEARTH TAX ASSESSMENT MICHAELMAS 1672 by David and Susan Neave
    EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE HEARTH TAX ASSESSMENT MICHAELMAS 1672 by David and Susan Neave 1. INTRODUCTION This volume comprises the hearth tax returns for the historic East Riding of Yorkshire and the town and county of Hull.1 The East Riding, the smallest of the three Yorkshire ridings, covers some 750,000 acres (303,750 hectares). It is almost totally bounded by water with the Humber estuary to the south, the North Sea to the east, and the river Ouse to the west and south and river Derwent to the north. The boundary, around 200 miles in length, is only land- based for seven miles between York and Stamford Bridge and eight miles between Binnington Carr and North Cliff, Filey (Map 1).2 Hull, more correctly Kingston-upon-Hull, stands at the confluence of the river Hull and the Humber estuary. The riding divides into four main natural regions, the Yorkshire Wolds, Holderness, the Vale of York, and the Vale of Pickering (Map 2). The Yorkshire Wolds, a great crescent of chalk stretching from the Humber to the coast at Flamborough Head, is the most distinctive relief feature of the region. Essentially a high tableland of gently rolling downs dissected by numerous steep-sided dry valleys it reaches a maximum height of around 808 feet (246 metres) above sea-level near Garrowby Hill. At the coast the chalk cliffs rise up to 400 feet (120 metres). Along the western edge of the Wolds are the Jurassic Hills, a narrow band of limestone that broadens out to the north to form an area of distinctive scenery to the south of Malton.

  • Kingston Upon Hull Heritage Evidence Base
    Kingston upon Hull Heritage Evidence Base April 2014 Executive Summary It is generally agreed that the city of Hull has a distinct character, identity and sense of place, however it is more difficult to pinpoint exactly what it is that makes the city distinctive. To help in this task, the City Council and the Architecture Centre for Hull and the Humber Region (Arc) organised various events during summer 2009 to explore the concept of ‘Hullness’. Perhaps not surprisingly, no definitive view was reached and the debate continues. However, the responses to the events have highlighted some recurring themes and factors that contribute to the distinct character of the city. These are set out below. ‘Hullness’ has been concerned with ‘character’ in all its senses, including cultural, social, economic, environmental and physical aspects. However, for the purposes of this study, ‘character’ is concerned with the impact of the above elements on the built form of the city. The physical setting of Hull in a flat landscape where the River Hull joins the Humber Estuary means that expanses of water and sky are characteristic features of the city. Hull is an industrial port city located some distance away from other large towns and set in the rural East Riding of Yorkshire. Traditionally it has looked to the sea and continental Europe rather than the rest of England. Unlike most other northern and midland cities, it is not part of a conurbation. This relative isolation has given it an independent and distinctive character. Trade with Baltic, Dutch and French ports over the centuries has influenced the built form, architecture, economy and culture of the city.
