The Leicestershire Society TRANSACTIONS OJf THE LEICESTERSHIRE SOCIETY. VOLUME II. LEICESTER: CEOSSLEY AND CLARKE 1870. LEICESTER : PRINTED BY CBOSSLEY AND CLABKE. PREFACE. i)HE completion of Volume II. of the Transactions of the Leicestershire Architectural and Archaeological Society gives an opportunity of expressing the hope that the preserva­ tion of Papers read before the Society, and the registration of Antiquities, &c., shewn at its meetings, by means of these pages, have proved acceptable to the members. The Society should be the centre for the County of all things that can aid in forwarding the objects, and in advancing the studies, for the encouragement of which it was formed. The bi-monthly meetings should be, as they are now to some extent, the opportunities used for communicating topographical, historical, architectural, and antiquarian information from the various parishes in the County ; then it is conceived these volumes of Transactions would be of no mean value to students generally, and specially to future historians of Leicestershire. Bearing this in mind, the least valuable of the information contained in the following pages will appear worthy of pre­ servation. Each writer is responsible for his own Paper.

IN accordance with the Resolution passed at the last Meeting of the Committee, a Soiree was held in the new Music Hall, Leicester, under the presidency of the Right Honorable Lord John Manners, M.P. The Hall was specially decorated, and upon long tables was arranged a fine collection of antiquities and works of art: the lower parts of the walls, too, were covered by architectural draw­ ings, photographs, engravings, and paintings of local and general interest, above which was arranged a series of rubbings of Monu­ mental Brasses, illustrative of the address to be delivered by Mr. Boutell later in the evening. At seven o'clock the PRESIDENT took the chair, and said: Ladies and gentlemen, IF it were expected that your Chairman on this occasion should deliver some kind of inaugural address on the subject of Architec­ ture, and Archaeology, I confess that I should have resolutely declined to occupy this chair to-night; for, much as 1 admire those studies, and greatly as I think they are calculated to promote great public objects, I am free to confess that a life mainly spent in S. Stephen's is little adapted to qualify one to obtain a pleased and attentive audience upon an occasion of this kind. But, if you will be good enough to look at the programme, you will see that, were 1 disposed to glance at the particular objects of the Leicestershire Architectural and Archaeological Society, I should be only poach­ ing on the manor so ably occupied by Mr. Ordish. That being the case, I must ask, what is it your Chairman is expected to say in opening the proceedings of this evening? And, therefore, you will excuse me if I am exceedingly brief in making a few observa- B VOL II. '-i LEICESTERSHIRE ARCHITECTURAL SOCIETY. tions to fill up the time expressed in the programme between my taking the chair and the delivery of the first lecture my office, I fear, being pretty much the same as that of the organ between the stated hour of Divine Service and its actual commencement. Therefore taking advantage of those few minutes, I may be per­ mitted to make a few passing observations. We cannot but see the great and acknowledged improvement and the spread of archi­ tectural knowledge during the last two decades of our history : this I believe to result not from the operations and enquiries of societies such as that which has caused us to meet this evening, but I believe, on the contrary, that these Societies are but the product of a great and deep-seated improvement in architectural study and know­ ledge ; and the conclusion I should form from this fact, if it be one, is that the position of those arts and those studies is a sound and a safe one that it does not depend on a fictitious excitement, nor on any sudden opinion, but is the result of the deep-rooted conviction of intelligent and well-regulated minds. Another obser­ vation I should wish to make; it is that this development of archaeo­ logical and architectural knowledge owes nothing whatever to the government of the country differing from architecture and art in most continental countries. I remember shortly after I entered parliament, that the late Mr. Joseph Hume who never erred on the side of extravagance, or on the side of Government grants coming to me with a bundle of documents he had received from France, pub­ lications of that department of the State that has the care of the restoration and supervision of ancient public monuments in that country for the purpose of endeavouring to interest the Govern­ ment of England to take a somewhat similar course, and devote a sum to the repair and maintenance of the beautiful and interesting monuments of antiquity on the point of crumbling to decay.

The Father of the House in the current (2019) Parliament is Sir Peter Bottomley, who was first elected to the House in a by-election in 1975. Under Standing Order No 1, as long as the Father of the House is not a Minister, he takes the Chair when the House elects a Speaker. He has no other formal duties. There is evidence of the title having been used in the 18th century. However, the origin of the term is not clear and it is likely that different qualifications were used in the past. The Father of the House is not necessarily the oldest Member.

Her funeral was held on 6th August and there is to be a Memorial Tribute to her on 2nd October at the Art Workers Guild in London. Felicity has been the authority on her parents’ lives for many years now and her Obituary in the Independent described her as ‘probably the last close link with the inner circle of extraordinary creative talents fostered or inspired by William Morris’ … her death ‘marks its [the Arts & Crafts movement] formal and final passing’. This first issue of Volume Number VI is a bumper issue full of connections. John Taplin, Andrew Davenport and Tim Clough (Editor of Rutland Local History & Record Society), after their initial queries to the Archive Room, all sent articles on their researches; the pieces on Maye Bruce and Thomas Phillipps are connected with new publications; there is an ‘earthy’ connection between with the Plough, Rutland and Bruce researches and the Phillipps and Whitfield articles both have Shakespeare connections.

  • The Roman Sites of South-West Leicestershire
    PLATE I HIGH CROSS—FROM NORTH HIGH CROSS—FROM SOUTH THE ROMAN SITES OF SOUTH-WEST LEICESTERSHIRE BY ARTHUR J. PICKERING, F.G.S. PART I VENON/E TRIPONTIUM Preface THE following notes on the Roman Sites of South-West Leicester­ shire are of a somewhat fragmentary character. They will be found, however, to make some contribution to present day know­ ledge of the Midlands during the Roman occupation and will, the writer hopes, pave the way for excavation of a more ambitious character. The writer is convinced that systematic search and enquiry would reveal a number of other sites in this corner of the county at present unrecorded. Hinckley, Higham-on-the-Hill, Market Bosworth and Peckleton, where some evidence of Roman occupation has come to light, would possibly be found to be homesteads of the Roman-British farmer similar to Barwell and Sapcote. There is here every indication that in early forest clearings the land was tilled and stock raised for the important market town of Ratse Coritanorum. Owing to the lack of vigilance and to the superficial resem­ blance of Roman building material to what may be found on the site of any old cottage, there can be no doubt that much valuable evidence is often overlooked and for ever lost to us. Whatever historical interest these notes may afford to the antiquarian, their value has been considerably enhanced to the student by the descriptive and comparative notes on the coarse pottery contributed by Mr. B. H. St. J. O'Neil, of the Office of Works. His invaluable help in the examination of this material, and also in the revision of the complete type-script of this paper for the press, places the writer under a great debt of gratitude.

  • 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.
