  • Saddleworth Sketches
    This is a reproduction of a library book that was digitized by Google as part of an ongoing effort to preserve the information in books and make it universally accessible. https://books.google.com Saddle worth ^KETCHES. I Saddleworth Sketches JOSEPH BRADBURY. OLDHAM : HIRST & RENNIE. MANCHESTER: JOHN HEYWOOD. LONDON : SIMPKIN, MARSHALL, & Co. PUBLISHERS' PREFACE. ANY of the Sketches composing the present volume appeared in the Oldham Chronicle during the winter months of 1870-1, and, in reprinting them in a more permanent form, no attempt has been made to give them the character of a History of Saddleworth. The original idea of their writer, Mr. Joseph Brad bury, has been adhered to, but, in consequence of his prolonged absence from Oldham, he has not been able to undertake the revision. One of the Sketches has been omitted, the others to some extent con densed, and the whole carefully corrected, so that it is hoped errors in circumstances and dates have been minimised, if not altogether avoided. During the task of revision, interesting material accumulated rapidly, and much has necessarily been omitted in order that the book might not become too bulky. The additions, for which Mr. Bradbury is not responsible, are the paper on "Rush Bearing in the Olden Time," kindly placed at our disposal by G. Shaw, Esq., and the three chapters following the Table of Chronology. The only considerable additions in the other Sketches are the additional facts and speculations in connection with the Green field murder, extending from page 17 to 34, and a few anecdotes respect ing the Rev.

  • U DDCA Papers of the Stapleton (Incorporating Errington and Tempest) Family, Lords Beaumont, of Carlton Towers Late 11Th Cent.-1979
    Hull History Centre: Papers of the Stapleton Family U DDCA Papers of the Stapleton (incorporating Errington and Tempest) Family, Lords Beaumont, of Carlton Towers late 11th cent.-1979 Accession number: 1977/01, 1978/02, 1981/02, 1981/13, 1994/04, 1996/20, 2016/06 Historical Background: The Stapletons of Yorkshire were originally from Richmondshire, their name deriving from Stapleton-on-Tees, a village between Richmond and Darlington. Nicholas de Stapleton, a judge on the King's Bench, died in 1290 leaving a son Miles de Stapleton, by his wife, Margaret Bassett, who was buried at Drax. The Stapletons settled in Yorkshire in this generation and several branches of the family developed at Carlton and Bedale, and then Wighill and Myton. Miles de Stapleton was the common ancestor (Foster, Pedigrees; Dictionary of National Biography; Chetwynd-Stapylton, 'The Stapletons of Yorkshire', pp. 66-7; Robinson, Carlton Towers, p.10). Miles de Stapleton served in the Gascon and Scottish wars of Edward I and was one of the men entrusted with the education of the king's son. He was created 1st baron, Lord Stapleton, and was called to parliament. He increased his family's interests in Yorkshire considerably. His eldest son was betrothed to a daughter of the Earl of Richmond and his second son to one of the daughters of Brian Fitzalan, lord of Bedale. His first wife, Sybil or Isabel, was the daughter of John de Bellew and Laderine, sister of Peter de Brus. Carlton came into the family as part of her inheritance. Towards the end of his life Miles de Stapleton sided with Lancaster but when he was called to muster for the relief of Stirling he came to the aid of the king.

  • Close Encounters: Anna Seward, 1742–1809, a Woman in Provincial Cultural Life
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by University of Birmingham Research Archive, E-theses Repository CLOSE ENCOUNTERS: ANNA SEWARD, 1742–1809, A WOMAN IN PROVINCIAL CULTURAL LIFE by MARION ROBERTS A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of MASTER OF LETTERS School of Humanities College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham December 2010 ABSTRACT Anna Seward (1747–1809) is best known today as a poet, but one whose reputation did not survive her death. Most studies of Seward since the nineteenth century have been critical or dismissive, but in recent years her published work has attracted more attention. Academics, particularly feminist scholars, have focused on her environmental observations, and the ways in which her writings draw attention to the gendered nature of eighteenth-century society. This study adopts a different approach by exploring Anna Seward’s private and public life within the provincial culture in which she emerged and remained until her death. Seward’s identity was shaped by her early life in the Derbyshire Peak District and the cathedral city of Lichfield. Her relationships with male mentors and friends of both sexes provided learning experiences and opportunities to develop her literary skills and personal confidence. Her wealthy clergyman father educated her at home and developed her literary interests. She was also heavily influenced by Dr Erasmus Darwin who encouraged her literary abilities and developed her confidence. Influenced by other provincial literary figures, such as Thomas Whalley, William Hayley, Robert Southey, Helen Maria Williams, Hannah More and the Ladies of Llangollen, she embarked on a publishing career, became a commentator on public affairs and acted as a critic.
