It replaced an oval device, which had been in use since the turn of the twentieth century, on the recommendation of the Select Committee on House of Commons (Services). The portcullis probably came to be associated with the Palace of Westminster through its use, along with Tudor roses, fleurs-de-lys and pomegranates, as decoration in the rebuilding of the Palace after the fire of 1512.

  • Notes on the Lancaster Estates in the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Centuries
    NOTES ON THE LANCASTER ESTATES IN THE THIRTEENTH AND FOURTEENTH CENTURIES BY DOROTHEA OSCHINSKY, D.Phil., Ph.D. Read 24 April 1947 UR knowledge of mediaeval estate administration is O based mainly on sources which relate to ecclesiastical estates, because these are easier of access and, as a rule, more complete. The death of an abbot affected a monastic estate only in so far as his successor might be a better or a worse husbandman; the estate was never divided between heirs, was not diminished by the endowment of widows and daughters, and was not doubled by prudent marriages as were seignorial estates. Furthermore, the ecclesiastics had frequently been granted their lands in frankalmoin, and no rent or service was rendered in return. With few exceptions their manors lay near the centre of the estate; and, finally, the clerics had sufficient leisure to supervise their estates themselves and little difficulty in providing a staff trained to work the estates intensively and profitably. Therefore we realise that any conclusions which are based on ecclesiastical estates only must necessarily be one-sided, and that before we can draw a general picture of the estate administration in the Middle Ages, we have to work out the estate adminis­ tration on at least some of the more important seignorial estates. The Lancaster estates with their changing fate are well able to reveal the chief characteristics of a seignorial estate, its extent, management and administration. The vastness of the estates of the Earls of Lancaster, and the importance of the family in the political history of the country, accen­ tuated and multiplied the difficulties of the estate adminis­ tration.

  • Duchy of Lancaster Tenant Newsletter - Lancashire Survey
    Duchy of Lancaster Tenant Newsletter - Lancashire Survey Welcome to the third newsletter for the Lancashire Survey. We are pleased to report that the market has responded warmly to our continued investment in residential properties across the Lancashire estates as we endeavour to establish a high quality standard that is consistent across the portfolio. There is still much to do in order to establish a good level of presentation across the wider estate and we will now be turning our attention to our farms and agricultural buildings. Thank you to all those who take pride in their properties and continue to treat them with the utmost care and respect. We must all play our part in looking after the Duchy inheritance so that these lands and properties can be enjoyed by future generations. Equestrian Excellence In Salwick Forrest Sport Horses at Pepper Hill Farm on the Salwick estate is gaining a reputation as a centre of excellence for all things equestrian. After moving into Pepper Hill Farm in 2014, co-owners Georgina Cook and Rebecca Melling immediately began transforming the holding, creating purpose-built stable blocks, tack rooms and a full size manège to provide an all year round facility for their horses and customers. CCTV cameras throughout the yard provide the highest levels of security and this year the team also installed a horse shower room and solarium. Today, the centre offers full livery, schooling and veterinary support to clients across the North of England. It has also allowed them to develop their growing horse breeding business.
