Lynne Dakin Hastings Curator Hampton NHS December 1992 IV MANAGEMENT SUMMARY The purpose of this document is to provide a furnishings study for the Master Bedchamber, Hampton Mansion, Hampton National Historic Site, for the period 1790-1815. The furnishings study, which includes a furnishings plan for the Master Bedchamber will provide historical documentation for architectural and fabric treatments in the room, as well as for objects exhibited for interpretation. The documentation will provide guidance for interpretation of the social and material culture during the period of Ridgely occupancy from 1790-1814. This period of interpretation was selected and approved for the General Management Plan because of the quality of original documentation for surface treatments in the Master Bedchamber, especially paint and faux graining; the amount of original furnishings surviving for this generation of ownership; and the objective of interpreting different generations of Ridgely occupancy in different rooms. While the Master Bedchamber will document the early residency, the Northeast Bedchamber will exhibit mid-19th century changes and additions, and the Northwest Bedchamber was selected to represent latter generations of occupancy. No furnishings studies or plans exist for the Mansion to date. The Plan for the Master Bedchamber is being developed separately because of the scope and complexity of the study, as well as funding considerations. This plan will complement other room plans as they are completed. The long-range objective is to consolidate the room plans into a complete study for the preservation and interpretation of primary exhibit areas at Hampton Mansion. This complete study will combine certain sections of each plan into one entity, separating out individual room plans. Additional Furnishings Plans are anticipated for exhibit areas in Stables 1, Quarters A, and the Farmhouse. Three major factors have imposed critical limitations on this study: First, no archaeological survey has been conducted for Hampton NHS, and little archaeological data exist for analysis. Projects narrow in scope have accompanied specific work such as water and sewer line excavation, but monitoring has been limited and artifact recovery or documentation meager. Additionally, major ground disturbance to the farm site occurred

  • What Were Cottons for in the Early Industrial Revolution?1
    What were Cottons GEHN Conference – University of Padua, 17-19 November 2005 John Styles University of Hertfordshire [email protected] What were Cottons for in the Early Industrial Revolution?1 Fashion’s Favourite, the title of Beverley Lemire’s 1991 book on the cotton trade and consumer revolution in England, reminded us that in the eighteenth century cotton was a fashionable fabric.2 During the second half of the century, decorated cottons like sprigged muslins, printed calicoes and white tufted counterpanes established a remarkable currency as desirable fabrics for dress and furnishing at all levels in the market. They became an indispensable element of fashion. Of course we can debate exactly what ‘fashion’ means in this context. Is it fashion in the economist’s sense of regular changes in visual appearance of any type of good intended to stimulate sales? Is it fashion in the dress historian’s sense of annual or seasonal manipulation of normative appearance through clothing? Or is it fashion in the fashion pundit’s sense of those forms of self- conscious, avant-garde innovation in dress pursued by an exclusive social or cultural élite – the fashion of royal courts, the eighteenth-century ton, and later haute couture? It is a remarkable feature of cotton’s success in the later eighteenth century that it embraced fashion in each of these three senses. In the process, cotton challenged the previous supremacy of silks and woollens as fashionable fabrics. At the start of the eighteenth century the complaints of the silk and woollen producers had secured a prohibition on the import and sale of most types of cotton, then largely sourced in south Asia.

  • The Garden Designs of William Stukeley (1687–1765)
    2-4 GS Reeve + RS CORR NEW_baj gs 4/9/13 10:02 PM Page 9 The BRITISH ART Journal Volume XIII, No. 3 Of Druids, the Gothic, and the origins of architecture The garden designs of William Stukeley (1687–1765) Matthew M Reeve illiam Stukeley’s central place in the historiogra- phy of eighteenth-century England is hardly Winsecure.1 His published interpretations of the megalithic monuments at Avebury (1743) and Stonehenge (1740) earned him a prominent position in the history of archaeology, and his Vetusta Monumenta ensured his rep- utation as a draughtsman and antiquarian. Recent research has shown that Stukeley was a polymath, whose related interests in astrology, Newtonian natural history and theol- ogy formed part of a broader Enlightenment world view.2 Yet, in the lengthy scholarship on Stukeley, insufficient attention has been paid to his interest in another intellectu- al and aesthetic pursuit of eighteenth-century cognoscenti: garden design.3 Stukeley’s voluminous manuscripts attest to his role as an avid designer of gardens, landscapes and garden build- ings. His own homes were the subjects of his most interesting achievements, including his hermitages at Kentish Town (1760), Stamford (Barnhill, 1744 and Austin Street 1737), and Grantham (1727).4 In this, Stukeley can be located among a number of ‘gentleman gardeners’ in the first half of the eighteenth century from the middling classes and the aristocracy.5 He toured gardens regularly, and recorded many of them in his books, journals and cor- respondence. His 1724 Itinerarium Curiosum recounts his impressions of gardens, including the recent work at Blenheim Palace and the ‘ha-ha’ in particular, and his unpublished notebooks contain a number of sketches such as the gardens at Grimsthorpe, Lincs., where he was a reg- ular visitor.6 Stukeley also designed a handful of garden buildings, apparently as gifts for friends and acquaintances.

  • Blackstone As Architect: Constructing the Commentaries
    Blackstone as Architect: Constructing the Commentaries Wilfrid Prest* On January 28, 1746, as Cumberland's forces pursued the retreating Jacobite army into Scotland, a twenty-three year old newly-minted Bachelor of Civil Law and junior fellow of All Souls College sat down to write a characteristically cheerful letter to his lawyer uncle Seymour Richmond, shortly after reaching "my new Habitation (which is at Mr Stoke's a Limner in Arundel St)."' In the light of what is becoming clear about William Blackstone's own accomplishments and interests in draftsmanship and the visual arts, his choice of London lodgings was perhaps not entirely accidental. Be that as it may, this report on what was seemingly Blackstone's first serious encounter with the common law (even though he had by now accumulated a full five years' standing at the Middle Temple), exudes a jaunty self-confidence, couched in topically martial language: "I have stormed one Book of Littleton, & opened my Trenches before ye 2d; and I can with Pleasure say I have met with no Difficulty of Consequence...." Having established that even the * Australian Research Council Australian Professorial Fellow, University of Adelaide. This paper is part of William Blackstone. Life and Works, an Australian Research Council Discovery Project (DP0210901) at the University of Adelaide which aims to produce a full- length biography, together with annotated editions of Blackstone's correspondence and architectural writings. Preliminary versions were presented from 1998 onwards to audiences at the University of South Australia, the National Humanities Center, the Australian and New Zealand Law and History Conference, the Australian Modem British History Conference (La Trobe University), the British Legal History Conference (University of Wales, Aberystwyth), the Law and Public Affairs Seminar, Princeton University, the Yale Legal History Forum, and a conference on "Enlightenment Law and Lawyers" at Glasgow University.

Tapestry needle Uses about 87 yards (5 oz.) Cherry Candy Cane Potholder A Knitting Pattern by Liz Chandler @PurlsAndPixels Size 10 inch by 10 inch square About this Pattern This extra-thick, oversize potholder is made by doubling up strands of super bulky yarn. When using a self-striping yarn, as recommended, make sure you use a single dye lot and line up the striping colors before you begin knitting. Using two skeins from the same dye lot ensures you will have enough yarn for a complete square; however, you may try dividing one skein equally in separate balls. Shown in the color “Hudson Bay,” this quick knitting project is reminiscent of cherry candy canes. It can make a fun holiday piece, but is subdued enough to be used year-round.

  • Servants' Passage
    SERVANTS’ PASSAGE: Cultural identity in the architecture of service in British and American country houses 1740-1890 2 Volumes Volume 1 of 2 Aimée L Keithan PhD University of York Archaeology March 2020 Abstract Country house domestic service is a ubiquitous phenomenon in eighteenth and nineteenth century Britain and America. Whilst shared architectural and social traditions between the two countries are widely accepted, distinctive cultural identity in servant architecture remains unexplored. This thesis proposes that previously unacknowledged cultural differences between British and American domestic service can be used to rewrite narratives and re-evaluate the significance of servant spaces. It uses the service architecture itself as primary source material, relying on buildings archaeology methodologies to read the physical structures in order to determine phasing. Archival sources are mined for evidence of individuals and household structure, which is then mapped onto the architecture, putting people into their spaces over time. Spatial analysis techniques are employed to reveal a more complex service story, in both British and American houses and within Anglo-American relations. Diverse spatial relationships, building types and circulation channels highlight formerly unrecognised service system variances stemming from unique cultural experiences in areas like race, gender and class. Acknowledging the more nuanced relationship between British and American domestic service restores the cultural identity of country house servants whose lives were not only shaped by, but who themselves helped shape the architecture they inhabited. Additionally, challenging accepted narratives by re-evaluating domestic service stories provides a solid foundation for a more inclusive country house heritage in both nations. This provides new factors on which to value modern use of servant spaces in historic house museums, expanding understanding of their relevance to modern society.

  • Women's Clothing in the 18Th Century
    National Park Service Park News U.S. Department of the Interior Pickled Fish and Salted Provisions A Peek Inside Mrs. Derby’s Clothes Press: Women’s Clothing in the 18th Century In the parlor of the Derby House is a por- trait of Elizabeth Crowninshield Derby, wearing her finest apparel. But what exactly is she wearing? And what else would she wear? This edition of Pickled Fish focuses on women’s clothing in the years between 1760 and 1780, when the Derby Family were living in the “little brick house” on Derby Street. Like today, women in the 18th century dressed up or down depending on their social status or the work they were doing. Like today, women dressed up or down depending on the situation, and also like today, the shape of most garments was common to upper and lower classes, but differentiated by expense of fabric, quality of workmanship, and how well the garment fit. Number of garments was also determined by a woman’s class and income level; and as we shall see, recent scholarship has caused us to revise the number of garments owned by women of the upper classes in Essex County. Unfortunately, the portrait and two items of clothing are all that remain of Elizabeth’s wardrobe. Few family receipts have survived, and even the de- tailed inventory of Elias Hasket Derby’s estate in 1799 does not include any cloth- ing, male or female. However, because Pastel portrait of Elizabeth Crowninshield Derby, c. 1780, by Benjamin Blythe.

  • Paper 2: the Woollen Cloth Industry in the Lim Valley © Richard Bull & Lyme Regis Museum Revised with Extra Images July 2015
    Industrial Lyme - Paper 2: The Woollen Cloth Industry in the Lim Valley © Richard Bull & Lyme Regis Museum Revised with extra images July 2015 Like all research, this is on-going. If you know more, or are descended from any of the families involved, please get in touch with the author via Lyme Regis Museum. Summary Woollen cloth has been made in the Lim Valley from at least medieval times, but this paper is more about the factories in Lyme Regis and Uplyme that made high-quality West of England coat cloths. The factories in Lyme were bankrupt in 1847, leaving the Uplyme factory to soldier on against Yorkshire competition until it was destroyed by fire in 1866, whilst being modernised. In Lyme the factories were started up again in the 1850s to make silk thread and hemp twine, but only for a short period; these are the subjects of other papers in this series. This paper contains: the background to the trade, the history of the factories and a walking trail to see the mills. Cloth making – the essential process in a nutshell Sheep fleeces are packed on the farm into big canvas bags called woolsacks. At the factory the fleeces are scoured (washed) to remove lanolin (wool- grease), dirt and adhering vegetable material. Then the fleeces are scribbled (torn up into pieces), combed and carded to produce rovings, long strips of wool ready for spinning. Washed and combed fleece being fed into a carding machine at Coldharbour Mill, Uffculme, Devon Industrial Lyme Paper 2 – The Woollen Cloth Industry © R Bull & Lyme Regis Museum 1 Spinning means to draw out and twist - and by this process the scales of the individual wool fibres lock together to produce a thread known as a single.
