A Short Description of the Original Building Accounts of Kikby Muxloe Castle, Leicestershire
ORIGINAL BUILDING ACCOUNTS OF KIRBY MUXLOE OASTLE. 87 A SHORT DESCRIPTION OF THE ORIGINAL BUILDING ACCOUNTS OF KIKBY MUXLOE CASTLE, LEICESTERSHIRE, RECENTLY DISCOVEBED AT THE MANOR HOUSE, ASHBYDELAZoUOH. BY THOS. H. FOBBROOKE, F.S.A. The Manuscripts and other Documents belonging to the ancient family of Hastings, of AshbydelaZouch, are amongst the finest and most interesting in the kingdom. After the destruction of their ancient castle at Ashby, these papers were stored at Donington Hall, but since the recent sale of that estate have been housed at the Manor House at Ashby delaZouch, where through the kindness of Lady Maud Hastings, they were exhibited to, and much admired by, the members of the Leicestershire Archaeological Society, on the occasion of their annual excursion last year. One of the most interesting of these MSS. is a XV. century book of building accounts, relating to the erection of Kirby Castle by William Lord Hastings, between the years 1480 and 1484. This book was first shewn to me when I was measuring the ruined castle at Ashby, the drawings of which were afterwards published by this Society in the Reports and Papers of the Asso ciated Societies' Publication, Vol. XXI., Part 1 (1911). On the discovery that the accounts related entirely to Kirby Castle, they were entrusted to my care through the kindness of Lady Maud Hastings, and I at once communicated with C. R. Peers, Esq., Secretary of the Society of Antiquaries, who at that time was engaged on the conservation of the old ruin at Kirby, under the Ancient Monuments Act. -

CSG Bibliog 24
CASTLE STUDIES: RECENT PUBLICATIONS – 29 (2016) By Dr Gillian Scott with the assistance of Dr John R. Kenyon Introduction Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the CSG annual bibliography, this year containing over 150 references to keep us all busy. I must apologise for the delay in getting the bibliography to members. This volume covers publications up to mid- August of this year and is for the most part written as if to be published last year. Next year’s bibliography (No.30 2017) is already up and running. I seem to have come across several papers this year that could be viewed as on the periphery of our area of interest. For example the papers in the latest Ulster Journal of Archaeology on the forts of the Nine Years War, the various papers in the special edition of Architectural Heritage and Eric Johnson’s paper on moated sites in Medieval Archaeology. I have listed most of these even if inclusion stretches the definition of ‘Castle’ somewhat. It’s a hard thing to define anyway and I’m sure most of you will be interested in these papers. I apologise if you find my decisions regarding inclusion and non-inclusion a bit haphazard, particularly when it comes to the 17th century and so-called ‘Palace’ and ‘Fort’ sites. If these are your particular area of interest you might think that I have missed some items. If so, do let me know. In a similar vein I was contacted this year by Bruce Coplestone-Crow regarding several of his papers over the last few years that haven’t been included in the bibliography. -

'A MAN MOSTE MEETE': A NATIONWIDE SURVEY OF JUSTICES OF THE PEACE IN MID-TUDOR ENGLAND, 1547-1582 _____________ A Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of the Department of History University of Houston _____________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy _____________ By Clarissa Elisabeth Hinojosa May 2014 i 'A MAN MOSTE MEETE': A NATIONWIDE SURVEY OF JUSTICES OF THE PEACE IN MID-TUDOR ENGLAND, 1547-1582 _____________ An Abstract of a Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of the Department of History University of Houston _____________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy _____________ By Clarissa Elisabeth Hinojosa May 2014 ii ABSTRACT This dissertation is a national study of English justices of the peace (JPs) in the mid- Tudor era. It incorporates comparable data from the reigns of Edward VI, Mary I, and the Elizabeth I. Much of the analysis is quantitative in nature: chapters compare the appointments of justices of the peace during the reigns of Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I, and reveal that purges of the commissions of the peace were far more common than is generally believed. Furthermore, purges appear to have been religiously- based, especially during the reign of Elizabeth I. There is a gap in the quantitative data beginning in 1569, only eleven years into Elizabeth I’s reign, which continues until 1584. In an effort to compensate for the loss of quantitative data, this dissertation analyzes a different primary source, William Lambarde’s guidebook for JPs, Eirenarcha. The fourth chapter makes particular use of Eirenarcha, exploring required duties both in and out of session, what technical and personal qualities were expected of JPs, and how well they lived up to them. -

Castle Studies Group Bibliography No. 23 2010 CASTLE STUDIES: RECENT PUBLICATIONS – 23 (2010)
Castle Studies Group Bibliography No. 23 2010 CASTLE STUDIES: RECENT PUBLICATIONS – 23 (2010) By John R. Kenyon Introduction This is advance notice that I plan to take the recent publications compilation to a quarter century and then call it a day, as I mentioned at the AGM in Taunton last April. So, two more issues after this one! After that, it may be that I will pass on details of major books and articles for a mention in the Journal or Bulletin, but I think that twenty-five issues is a good milestone to reach, and to draw this service to members to a close, or possibly hand on the reins, if there is anyone out there! No sooner had I sent the corrected proof of last year’s Bibliography to Peter Burton when a number of Irish items appeared in print. These included material in Archaeology Ireland, the visitors’ guide to castles in that country, and then the book on Dublin from Four Court Press, a collection of essays in honour of Howard Clarke, which includes an essay on Dublin Castle. At the same time, I noted that a book on medieval travel had a paper by David Kennett on Caister Castle and the transport of brick, and this in turn led me to a paper, published in 2005, that has gone into Part B, Alasdair Hawkyard’s important piece on Caister. Wayne Cocroft of English Heritage contacted me in July 2009, and I quote: - “I have just received the latest CSG Bibliography, which has prompted me to draw the EH internal report series to your attention. -

The Artist James Jebusa Shannon Painting a Portrait of the Young
Violet MANNERS (London 1856 - London 1937) The Artist James Jebusa Shannon Painting a Portrait of the Young John Manners, later 9th Duke of Rutland Pencil, with touches of pen and brown ink, on paper washed a pale grey. Inscribed John sitting to Shannon at the lower centre. Further inscribed in pencil on the verso. 239 x 292 mm. (9 3/8 x 11 1/2 in.) ACQUIRED BY THE NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART, WASHINGTON, DC. This drawing depicts the artist's young son John Manners being painted by the Anglo-American artist James Jebusa Shannon (1862-1923), one of the leading society portrait painters in London, at his studio in Holland Park in 1897. The second son of the Marquess and Marchioness of Granby, John Henry Montagu Manners, Lord Roos (1886-1940) was ten or eleven years old at the time this drawing was made. His elder brother Robert, Lord Haddon, had died three years earlier, at the age of nine, and John was the heir to the dukedom. Educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge, John Manners joined the Diplomatic Service and was posted to the British Embassy in Rome in 1909. The following year he was commissioned into the 4th Battalion Leicestershire Regiment as a 2nd Lieutenant. Although he was sent to the Western Front in 1915, Manners was kept away from the front lines by his superiors - much against his wishes and to his great shame later in life - largely due to the efforts and influence of his mother, the Duchess of Rutland, who was determined to keep her only surviving son well away from the fighting. -
