SIR WILLIAM LE NEVE, CLARENCEUX,8 TO SIR CHRIS- TOPHER HATTON, K.B. NOBLE SlR, London, Thursday, 24th Sept., 1640. Sir Henry St. George'sb letters to me from Yorke, dated the 18* of this instant, intimate that it was then there fresh news that the Scots had taken Yarum^ a town situated upon the river of Teyes, an inlett into Cliveland; where it is thought that they will fortifye, :is they have done at Durham, for a place of retreate, there being adjoyning a hill apt for that purpose. By their manner of pro- ceeding it's thought they will make a winter warre, and that the armies are not like to meete to put a period that way this winter. That afternoone the Lord Conway,c with 2,000 horse and three regiments of foote, 1,000 firelockes, and 15 feild peices, marched towards the borders of Yorkeshire, to secure them from the Scots incursions. The gentry of that countie promised his Matie, on Saturday •was a seavennight, to maineteyne their trayned bandes one month longer. They were very urgent wth a petition of their grievances, and therein to crave of the King a parliament. The first part my •' William Le Neve became Mowbray Herald in 1624, knighted in 1634, and Clarenceux in 1635. He was present with Charles at the battle of Edgehill, previous to which he officially summoned the Parliamentary army to surrender, but " did it with great marks of fear, having a feeling sense of danger." In 1658 he lost his reason, which he never recovered. He died in 1661.—Noble, History of the (•allege oj'Arms, p. 279. 11 Norroy King of Arms, became Garter in 1644. •" Edward, second Viscount Conway, died in 1655. HATTON CORRESPONDENCE. 0 Lord Lieutenanta preferred to his Matie; but prevayled with them to leave out the last, upon his Lop3 assurance that he knewe the King was resolved to call a parliament very suddenly. The poore citty of Yorke hath lent the King 5,000u; and this weeke three score thousand pounds of the paper money is from hence sent thither. And soe have the citizens of London sent their peticions, to be delivered this day, 4 aldermen, as sayd, having signed with them. The like hath divers parsons sent theirs against the canons by one Sedgewicke.b As Lesly writt to the citty, soe we now heare he hath done to the Lowe Countries and France, to invite them to a free trade of coalc. The Scots refused to render their prisoners, our souldiours, saying they would keepe them to see what we would doe by theirs, if perchance we take any of them. Their wives multiply unto New- castle. My Lord Lieutenant was certeynely elected Kn* of the Garter about ten dayes since. The Scots demands of Durham and Northumberland are now turned into money: a Scotche tricke to involve all at last. Sir Thomas Glemham,0 by his faire comportment hath soe wrought with the people of Hull and made them soe sensible of theise tymes, that they dayly send him 4 or 5 hundred men, woemen, and children to assist his regiment in making fortificacions, which were very defective before his comming, though otherwise before informed.

  • The Canterbury Association
    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry.

  • Thomas Anson of Shugborough
    Thomas Anson of Shugborough and The Greek Revival Andrew Baker October 2019 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My interest in Thomas Anson began in 1982, when I found myself living in a cottage which had formerly been occupied by a seamstress on the Shugborough estate. In those days very little was known about him, just enough to suggest he was a person worth investigating, and little enough material available to give plenty of space for fantasy. In the early days, I was given a great deal of information about the background to 18th- century England by the late Michael Baigent, and encouragement by his friend and colleague Henry Lincoln (whose 1974 film for BBC’s “Chronicle” series, The Priest the Painter and the Devil introduced me to Shugborough) and the late Richard Leigh. I was grateful to Patrick, Earl of Lichfield, and Leonora, Countess of Lichfield, for their enthusiastic support. I presented my early researches at a “Holy Blood and Holy Grail” weekend at Shugborough. Patrick Lichfield’s step-grandmother, Margaret, Countess of Lichfield, provided comments on a particularly puzzling red-herring. Over the next twenty years the fantasies were deflated, but Thomas Anson remained an intriguing figure. I have Dr Kerry Bristol of Leeds University to thank for revealing that Thomas really was a kind of “eminence grise”, an influential figure behind the scenes of the 18th-century Greek Revival. Her 2006 conference at Shugborough was the turning point. The time was ripe for new discoveries. I wish to thank several researchers in different fields who provided important revelations along the way: Paul Smith, for the English translation from Chris Lovegrove, (former editor of the Journal of the Pendragon Society) of the first portion of Lady Anson’s letter referring to Honoré d’Urfé’s pastoral novel L’Astrée, written in French.

  • For Those Royalists Disappointed by Charles II's Failure to Reward Them
    1 The earls of Derby and the opposition to their estate bills in parliament, 1660-92: some new manuscript sources By Charles Littleton, History of Parliament Trust Abstract: The bills introduced in 1660-62 by Charles Stanley, 8th earl of Derby, to reclaim his property conveyed by legal procedures to other proprietors during the Interregnum are well-known to students of the Restoration, as their ultimate defeat is seen as evidence of the royal government's wish to enforce 'indemnity and oblivion' after the civil war. The leading members of the House of Lords opposed to the bill of 1661-2 can be gauged by the protest against its passage on 6 February 1662, which has been readily available to students to consult since the 18th-century publication of the Lords Journals. A number of manuscript lists of the protesters against the bill's passage reveal that the opposition to the bill was even more extensive and politically varied than the protest in the Journal suggests, which raises questions of why the printed protest is so incomplete. A voting forecast drawn up by William Stanley, 9th earl of Derby, in 1691 further reminds us of the often neglected point that the Stanleys continued to submit bills for the resumption of their hereditary lands well after the disappointment of 1662. Derby's manuscript calculations, though ultimately highly inaccurate, reveal much about how this particular peer envisaged the forces ranged for and against the claims of an old civil war royalist family, a good forty years after the loss of their land.

  • On the Pictures at Cobham Hall
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 11 1877 ( 160 ) ON THE PICTURES AT COBHAM HALL. An Address delivered in the Picture Gallery, July 27th, 1876, BY F. G. STEPHENS, ESQ. MY first duty when addressing a company in this Gallery is to thank the noble owner for the opportunity of doing so. I am sure that every visitor will join heartily in expressing gratitude to the Earl of Darnley, for the privilege and the pleasure he has afforded us. It has been suggested that the best mode of performing my duty, of calling attention to the works of art by -which we are surrounded, will be to speak from this place generally of the most interesting paintings, and, afterwards, to offer myself as a guide to those who choose to make a tour through the chambers which are decorated with pictures, and to comment on them as we go. As our time is limited, selec- tions must be made in both cases ; moreover, I cannot pretend to exhaust so large and wealthy a subject as Lord Darnley's / collection affords. In such a case classification by schools of art, still less grouping the works of each master, is out of the question; we must be content to take the paintings in the order in which they are disposed: we cannot conveniently separate the pictures proper from the portraits, except so far as regards the Portrait Gallery up-stairs; in respect to the latter category of examples the chief interest they possess is as like- nesses of so many famous men and ladies, but they comprise some very striking instances of fine art applied to portraiture, and few private collections in this country surpass this one in the historical and personal value of the works.

  • Horses and Bridles
    DIVISION OF THE HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY PASADENA, CALIFORNIA 91125 HORSES AND BRIDLES J. Kent Clark r- 0 0 '1- HUMANITIES WORKING PAPER 167 November 1997 Horses and Bridles J. Kent Clark Horses and Bridles is Chapter XIX of my biography of Thomas Wharton, 5th Baron, 1st Earl, and 1st Marquess of Wharton. The chapter covers the major political events of 1687, particularly those leading up to the Revolution of 1688. It shows how James II alienated his Tory subjects and provided the Whig "Tom" Wharton, soon to be a leader in the Revolution, with powerful allies The chapter also deals with the most significant changes in the personal world of the Whartons. The table of abbreviations and the short-title bibliography apply to the whole book, not merely this chapter. GIFT HORSES AND BRIDLES J. Kent Clark On 19 March 1687, Mary Wharton Kemeys had her first sitting at the studio of portrait artist William Wissing. Her brother Tom, she reported to her husband, had already sat several times; his portrait, she supposed, would be finished after one more session. The popular Wissing was also making a portrait of Tom's mistress Jane Dering, whom Mary had met at the studio, along with Jane's sister Katharine, Lady Perceval. Since Wissing was working on several other portraits, Mary told her husband, it was unlikely that her own picture would be completed before she was obliged to return home to Wales. 1 As for Wharton family news, Mary said, the only recent event worth mentioning was Tom's victory at Newport Pagnell, where that week his horse had won a plate worth thirty pounds.
