HISTORICAL NOTE There has been a dwelling on site since the 14th century when John of Gaunt son of Edward III is understood to have used it as his hunting lodge. By 1830, there was a simple farmhouse on the site with no garden. By 1903 the house was derelict. In 1907 Lord Dewar bought and restored The Homestall, added a substantial service wing, re-modelled the gardens and bought in two farms to the north to create a grand estate. After his death in 1930 it was inherited by his nephew who used it as his country base while living at Claridges during the week. He married in 1932 and soon after his wife declared the house was not big enough for the lavish entertaining that she had in mind. He bought Dutton Hall, a large Tudor manor house in Cheshire dating from the 1580’s, had it dismantled and then rebuilt alongside The Homestall. The grander and much larger house became known as Dutton Homestall. During the Second World War Dewar offered the house as an auxilliary hospital to the nearby Royal Victoria Hospital and it became a convalescent home for officers in the Guinea Pig Club. During the 1950's the house was bought by the owner of The Brunswick School and then in 1965 Stoke House School joined and amalgamated to become The Stoke Brunswick School. This closed in 2009 and since has once again become a private house.

How- ever, carbon footprints are not the focus for this year’s Anvil. Instead we have decid- ed to look at “footprints” in a broader sense. The High Weald is a landscape that has been shaped by man – and creatures – over generations, so we have delved into the area’s history to explore some of the last- ing “footprints” made by previous generations. Some we value and are thankful for, while others are more of a conundrum. Dinosaurs were the first to tramp the sandstones which form the underlying geology of the area – and their footprints can still be seen where the rock has been exposed. Later, the Anglo-Saxons left perhaps the most significant footprint on the landscape – the small, irregu- lar-shaped fields, scattered settlements and drove routes.

This edition continues with the usual mix of a wide and lively range of articles, reviews and forthcoming events. This is my final issue as editor of the Bulletin and as a member of the committee; after five years I feel that it is time to move on and try something different. The Bulletin has made an enormous contribution to the good reputation that this society enjoys and I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the contributors to the Bulletin since I started the publication in 2006, especially Timothy Alves, Karen Baston and Sue Dale for their numerous articles and unstinting support, particularly when others could spare neither the time nor the inclination to write even a few paragraphs. I would also like to thank Melvina Youngs for her invaluable assistance and for ensuring that I always remained within the boundaries of correct grammar. I hope that you enjoy this issue and I wish you all the very best for the future. The next issue will be out in the Winter of 2011.

Benjamin Henry Latrobe was born in 1764 at Fulneck in Yorkshire. He was the Second son of the Reverend Benjamin Latrobe (1728 - 86), a minister of the Moravian church, and Anna Margaretta (Antes) Latrobe (1728 - 94), a third generation Pennsylvanian of Moravian Parentage. The original Latrobes had been French Huguenots who had settled in Ireland at the end of the 17th Century. Whilst he is most noted for his work on The White House and the Capitol in Washington, he introduced the Greek Revival as the style of American National architecture. He built Baltimore cathedral, not only the first Roman Catholic Cathedral in America but also the first vaulted church and is, perhaps, Latrobes finest monument. Hammerwood Park achieves importance as his first complete work, the first of only two in this country and one of only five remaining domestic buildings by Latrobe in existence. It was built as a temple to Apollo, dedicated as a hunting lodge to celebrate the arts and incorporating elements related to Demeter, mother Earth, in relation to the contemporary agricultural revolution.

  • A Report on the World Botting Reunion 2008
    A REPORT ON THE WORLD BOTTING REUNION 2008 On Friday May 23rd 2008 a group of 37 Botting Descendents made their way to the village of Alfriston to attend a global reunion of this family name. This group of attendees originated from Canada, Australia, Saudi Arabia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, and was to be the result of three years of planning by Maggie Shanks and her committee in close liaison with Desmond Botting in New Zealand. The venue for this gathering was Dean’s Place Hotel in the village of Alfriston in East Sussex. During the course of the afternoon the meeting and greeting of each other was a relaxed and very informal affair and for most of us it was the first time we were able to meet Maggie in person. In casual conversation we were able to exchange snippets of information about family backgrounds and experiences of times past. So as we enjoyed our first meal together that night, we all felt very comfortable in each others company. Bed that night was reasonably early for those who had just prior, traveled long distances on international flights. Saturday 24th May Following breakfast all members assembled in the conference room, setting out displays of photos and other family memorabilia for all of us to look through, and further conversations of course, before formal proceedings began. Information packs were distributed, name tags issued, a list indicating where we had all come from for the weekend given to us, and then a novel way of being introduced took place. We were given a brief cryptic clue from which each of us individually had to identify another member, introduce ourselves, learn as much as we could about our new “Buddy” and then introduce this person to the group.

  • Led Zeppelin
    For Linda, Evie, Mollie and Michael – always. Author’s Note While I have been fortunate over the years to have enjoyed the company of various ex-members and/or former employees of Led Zeppelin, it should be born in mind at all times that this is an unauthorised biography, written objectively and with no undue pressure from any outside influence to do anything other than tell the story as I honestly see it. It should also be clearly understood that the italicised ‘flashback’ passages of the text are not the actual words of Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Bonham, John Paul Jones and Peter Grant, nor are they actual quotes. Whilst they are all based on thorough biographical research, the facts of which can be found in the Notes & Sources section at the end of this book, the words themselves are the product of my imagination. Contents Prologue – Heaven Part One: Ascension! 1. The Dawn of Now 2. Daze of My Youth 3. Light and Shade 4. Going To California 5. High in the Sky 6. Cannons! 7. Cracking the Whip 8.
