  • Gloving, Philanthropy and the Marrying of Polly. (C) David Walsh 2010, 2013 the Hubbub Came a Hundred Years Later When the Last of the Allcrofts, Jewell, Died in 1992
    A forgotten fortune I never grew up with any whisper of gold in the family – no tale of a lost fortune and no hint of amazingly generous presents from distant relatives. The sale of an extraordinary collection of Edwardian travel souvenirs totalling $3 million could have gone un-noticed by me had I not sniffed out the full story a while earlier. My uncle asserted that our distant aunties were Amelia Alcroft and Sophy Martin. The will of Sophy showed otherwise. She was, in 1870, a spinster living with her companion at 4 Ebenezer Terrace, Plumstead, Kent. Despite the clerk’s spidery hand I established that the man charged with proving her estate was an Allcroft, J.D. Allcroft Esquire of 55 Porchester Gate. Could this be somehow relevant to the ‘Amelia Alcroft’ on our tree? I found that this man had left nearly half a million pounds in his estate at his own death, twenty years later. Could this be our forgotten family fortune? Gloving philanthrophy, travel, and the marrying of Polly This chapter begins with a letter sent from a coffee plantation in the Port Royal Mountains, Jamaica in 1853. Polly Martin, 22, and emphatically not Amelia, was sitting at home in her mother’s smart drawing room in Woolwich when the words reached her. Henry Lowry, trying his luck as a mine agent, had gallantly offered to find a husband for his sisters-in-law “to turn mademoiselle into madame” if Polly and Sophy would come out too. They would meet many nice people, he said. He also offered a cuddle to young Georgie, then eight or nine.

  • Three Periods of English Architecture
    MBMTRAND SMITHS BOOK STORE M# PACIFIC A VENUS LONG BEACH. CALTP. THREE PERIODS OF <$> ENGLISH ARCHITECTURE. IMPORTED BY CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS, NEW YORK. THREE PERIODS^ OF ENGLISH ARC HITECTURE BY THOMAS HARRIS F R I B A- FSANI«$> B-T-BATSFORDf LONDON f 1 894 CHISWICK PRESS : —CHARLES WHITTINGHAM AND CO. TOOKS COURT, CHANCERY LANE, LONDON. PREFACE. the following pages much is advanced which may- INjustify the charge of lack of novelty. It is, however, the author's intention to be little more than " a gatherer and disposer of other men's stuff," his object being to advance the cause of architectural progress, not so much by enunciating his own views, as by showing how much has been said on the subject by others. This will explain the apparent abruptness of some of the quotations, they being, for the most part, introduced with little attempt at constructive arrangement, where they appeared to best elucidate the text, or to lend the authority of some well- known name to the proposition under consideration ; but they will be found to form a kind of thought mosaic, each one either helping to strengthen, or in some cases to tone down, the others with which it is connected. The progress herein alluded to has found many advo- cates at the Royal Institute of British Architects, and names of the highest repute are associated with it. Archi- tectural publications, both here and in America, have frequently given expression to the longing for relief from the bondage to which the profession has been so long subject, and from the delusions which have militated against the clear apprehension of the destiny of their art.
