  • Newsletter 2021 Season
    Newsletter 2021 Season “Dartmouth” by Grace. THE SHADE OAK NEWSLETTER: 2021 SEASON When Emma announced I was going into ‘Lockdown’ at the end of March I must admit I thought it was a little extreme, as I’m not normally locked away to produce the annual Shade Oak Newsletter until late November. However, I was swiftly made aware that this was a different kind of lockdown that has changed all our lives to a greater or lesser extent. Even when the eagerly- anticipated vaccines and improved treatments are available, its effects on the economy will be significant, as will its impact on the fortunes of horse breeders of all nations. So, much though I would like to pen my usual few words about stallions, mares, foals and the joys of breeding NH horses, before rushing outside to leap on my trusty steed, Sir Francis, to charge across huge hedges and daunting ditches, it just can’t be that easy this year. Instead, I must give whatever insights I can conjure up (sometimes I really don’t know how I do it!) into the implications of several new factors on NH breeding in this country - namely Covid, Brexit and the Great British Bonus. In doing this I will weave an ingenious thread of storyline, so I’m told, that brings them all together such that you will surely recognise not only the wisdom of continuing to produce NH horses but also of using British-based stallions located at - yes, you’re on the ball today - Shade Oak Stud! Here we go… THE EFFECTS OF COVID ON THOROUGHBRED BREEDING: WHY KEEP GOING?

  • Charles Empson
    Charles Empson by David Zuck Honorary Consultant Anaesthetist, Enfield Health District, Past President, History of Anaesthesia Society. Summary Charles Empson was the uncle of John Snow. Little has been known of his life, which turns out, in his early years, to have been an adventurous one. This paper gives an account of him, set in the history of his times, and of his relationship to John Snow. Charles Empson is of interest to several groups of people; to those concerned with the history and exploration of South America; or with its pre-Columbian artefacts; or with the history of Bath; or to anaesthetists, because he was the uncle of John Snow. But Charles Empson has remained a shadowy figure in the life of his nephew, although their relationship was very close, and Snow is described as having been devotedly attached to him. 1 However, recent research into Snow’s family and background has revealed also something about Empson, who is now seen to be an interesting person in his own right, and who perhaps had more of an influence on Snow than has previously been perceived. John Empson = Mary Askham (or Ascomb) * ——————————————-------- * * * * * William Snow = Frances Hannah Charles John William * John and eight brothers and sisters Fig 1. The Empson and Snow Families The family lived in Yorkshire. As regards their kinship, (Fig 1) it is known that John Snow’s mother, Frances, or Fanny, was the base born or illegitimate daughter of Mary Askham. Her baptism, on 15th February 1789, is recorded in the Ledsham parish register. There were Askhams in Ledsham from at least the 1660s, spelled variously as Askham, Askam, and Ascomb, and both Francesca and Francis were family names.
