    The Social, Political and Economic Determinants of a Modern Portrait Artist: Bernard Fleetwood-Walker (1893-1965) by MARIE CONSIDINE A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History of Art College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham April 2012 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation.

ABSTRACT As the first major study of the portrait artist Bernard Fleetwood-Walker (1893- 1965), this thesis locates the artist in his social, political and economic context, arguing that his portraiture can be seen as an exemplar of modernity. The portraits are shown to be responses to modern life, revealed not in formally avant- garde depictions, but in the subject-matter. Industrial growth, the increasing population, expanding suburbs, and a renewed interest in the outdoor life and popular entertainment are reflected in Fleetwood-Walker’s artistic output. The role played by exhibition culture in the creation of the portraits is analysed: developing retail theory affected gallery design and exhibition layout and in turn impacted on the size, subject matter and style of Fleetwood-Walker’s portraits.

  • A Welsh Classical Dictionary
    A WELSH CLASSICAL DICTIONARY DACHUN, saint of Bodmin. See s.n. Credan. He has been wrongly identified with an Irish saint Dagan in LBS II.281, 285. G.H.Doble seems to have been misled in the same way (The Saints of Cornwall, IV. 156). DAGAN or DANOG, abbot of Llancarfan. He appears as Danoc in one of the ‘Llancarfan Charters’ appended to the Life of St.Cadog (§62 in VSB p.130). Here he is a clerical witness with Sulien (presumably abbot) and king Morgan [ab Athrwys]. He appears as abbot of Llancarfan in five charters in the Book of Llandaf, where he is called Danoc abbas Carbani Uallis (BLD 179c), and Dagan(us) abbas Carbani Uallis (BLD 158, 175, 186b, 195). In these five charters he is contemporary with bishop Berthwyn and Ithel ap Morgan, king of Glywysing. He succeeded Sulien as abbot and was succeeded by Paul. See Trans.Cym., 1948 pp.291-2, (but ignore the dates), and compare Wendy Davies, LlCh p.55 where Danog and Dagan are distinguished. Wendy Davies dates the BLD charters c.A.D.722 to 740 (ibid., pp.102 - 114). DALLDAF ail CUNIN COF. (Legendary). He is included in the tale of ‘Culhwch and Olwen’ as one of the warriors of Arthur's Court: Dalldaf eil Kimin Cof (WM 460, RM 106). In a triad (TYP no.73) he is called Dalldaf eil Cunyn Cof, one of the ‘Three Peers’ of Arthur's Court. In another triad (TYP no.41) we are told that Fferlas (Grey Fetlock), the horse of Dalldaf eil Cunin Cof, was one of the ‘Three Lovers' Horses’ (or perhaps ‘Beloved Horses’).

  • 'Capability' Brown
    ‘Capability’ Brown & The Landscapes of Middle England Introduction (Room ) Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown was born in in the Northumbrian hamlet of Kirkharle to a family of yeoman-farmers. The local landowner, Sir William Loraine, granted him his first gardening job at Kirkharle Hall in . Demonstrating his enduring capacity for attracting aristocratic patrons, by the time he was twenty-five Viscount Cobham had promoted him to the position of Head Gardener at Stowe. Brown then secured a number of lucrative commissions in the Midlands: Newnham Paddox, Great Packington, Charlecote Park (Room ) and Warwick Castle in Warwickshire, Croome Court in Worcestershire (Room ), Weston Park in Staffordshire (Room ) and Castle Ashby in Northamptonshire. The English landscape designer Humphry Repton later commented that this rapid success was attributable to a ‘natural quickness of perception and his habitual correctness of observation’. On November Brown married Bridget Wayet. They had a daughter and three sons: Bridget, Lancelot, William and John. And in Brown set himself up as architect and landscape consultant in Hammersmith, west of London, beginning a relentlessly demanding career that would span thirty years and encompass over estates. In , coinciding directly with his newly elevated position of Royal Gardener to George , Brown embarked on several illustrious commissions, including Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire, and Luton Hoo in Bedfordshire. He then took on as business partner the successful builder-architect Henry Holland the Younger. Two years later, in , Holland married Brown’s daughter Bridget, thus cementing the relationship between the two families. John Keyse Sherwin, after Nathaniel Dance, Lancelot Brown (Prof Tim Mowl) As the fashion for landscapes designed in ‘the Park way’ increased in of under-gardeners.

  • The Best Hotels in England for a Murder Mystery Party
    The best hotels in England for a murder mystery party Interiors at Burgh Island inspire a Twenties backdrop to the hotel’s well-known murder mystery weekends Charlotte Johnstone, TRAVEL WRITER ‘Ladies and gentlemen, introducing the bride and groom, Zoe and Mike!” a man in a suit announced to a room of about 60 of us. Everyone clapped, but no one had a clue who Zoe and Mike were. It was a most bizarre beginning to an evening, but then I wasn’t at a “real” wedding: I was a character at “Zoe’s Second Wedding”, a murder mystery night held at The Old Swan, a grande dame hotel in Harrogate. And though it was night of high drama, with a murder, dinner and a huge plot twist, I found it absolutely hysterical – especially the eccentric characters such as Aunt Gladys, a colourful whirlwind of a woman who fawned her way across the room. I’ve been to a few immersive dinner experiences but you can’t really beat a good old murder mystery; there is something about participating in a story and pretending to be someone else for the night, getting to know the lead characters and deducing like a Poirot, that sets it apart. Add in an eerie setting, perhaps an old castle with a gruesome history, an Art Deco hotel on an island or a draughty manor house with a big Agatha Christie connection, and you can see why events like these draw a crowd – a few people I met at The Old Swan attend them regularly.
