FURHTURE, TAPESTRY and EMBROIDERY of YESTERDAY AID TODAY MARLBOROUGH HOUSE Wednesday April 25™ ROYAL SCHOOL OF NEEDLEWORK Patron : H.M. QUEEN ELIZABETH THE QUEEN MOTHER LOAN EXHIBITION FURHTURE, TAPESTRY AND EMBROIDERY OF YESTERDAY AID TODAY MARLBOROUGH HOUSE Wednesday April 25™ TO Wednesday May 30™ PRICE 6 ° Ma r II)o ± ough ho use by Sir Owen Morshead. Whitehall Palace having been destroyed by fire in 1698, it was in St. James' Palace that Queen Anne set up her residence in 1702; and the Court of St. James' is still the term in official use to-day. Within a year she had created her Lord Privy Seal (John Sheffield) Duke of Buckingham, and he proceeded to erect for himself the big house looking down the length of the Mall which, rebuilt since, is known to us as Buckingham Palace. Shortly afterwards she allowed her Mistress of the Robes and close confidante, Sarah Duchess of Marlborough, to build the house in which the present exhibition is being held. From his campaign in the Low Countries the Duke had written to his wife: "You,know I never lik'd to build it at all. 'Tis not a proper Place for a great House. And I am sure," he added knowingly, "when you have built a little one you will not like it." The one which Sir Christopher Wren designed for her in 1709 is the present house minus the two top floors and certain additional rooms in the side wings. Built on so confined a site it has had to expand upwards, to the detriment of its appearance. The mettlesome Duchess was vexed by the inadequacy of its entrance from the street, and she resented too its domination by the houses in Pall Mall. By way of compensation she relished, up to her death here in 1744, being able to overlook her august neighbour in the adjoining Palace. The exhibition is being held in the State Rooms which occupy the ground floor. Around the lofty central Saloon may be seen a wall-painting of the battle of Blenheim, executed by Laguerre; and others, of RamiHies and Malplaquet, similarly decorate the^ staircases on either flank. All are hard to see, for one is either too close or too far; but their designs can be understood from a series of contemporary engravings. When the Marlborough family surrendered the ground lease in 1817 the house reverted with the site to the Crown. After the death of Princess Charlotte (the Ragent's daughter) in 1819 it formed the town residence of her widower Prince Leopold, who in 1851 became the first King of the Belgians. The widowed Queen Adelaide was the next tenant, from 1838 until her death in 1849. Then for a decade it served the artistic and educational ideals of Prince Albert, and indeed it may be said that here the Victoria and Albert Museum was born. From his marriage in 1863 until his Accession in 1901 King Edward VII lived here as Prince of Wales with his beautiful bride, making of Marlborough House the centre of London society. They were succeeded by King George V and Queen Mary as Prince and Princess of Wales until in turn their Accession to the throne came in 1910.. Queen Alexandra re-occupied it during her widowhood until her death in 1925. Once more, from 1936 until 1953, it became the dower house, this time for Queen Mary, whose antiquarian knowledge and distinguished taste brought its spacious rooms to a condition of singular beauty. Her collections found here their perfect setting, and in Her Majesty this dignified and historic house attained its ideal occupant. > > FOREWORD.

  • St James Conservation Area Audit
    ST JAMES’S 17 CONSERVATION AREA AUDIT AREA CONSERVATION Document Title: St James Conservation Area Audit Status: Adopted Supplementary Planning Guidance Document ID No.: 2471 This report is based on a draft prepared by B D P. Following a consultation programme undertaken by the council it was adopted as Supplementary Planning Guidance by the Cabinet Member for City Development on 27 November 2002. Published December 2002 © Westminster City Council Department of Planning & Transportation, Development Planning Services, City Hall, 64 Victoria Street, London SW1E 6QP www.westminster.gov.uk PREFACE Since the designation of the first conservation areas in 1967 the City Council has undertaken a comprehensive programme of conservation area designation, extensions and policy development. There are now 53 conservation areas in Westminster, covering 76% of the City. These conservation areas are the subject of detailed policies in the Unitary Development Plan and in Supplementary Planning Guidance. In addition to the basic activity of designation and the formulation of general policy, the City Council is required to undertake conservation area appraisals and to devise local policies in order to protect the unique character of each area. Although this process was first undertaken with the various designation reports, more recent national guidance (as found in Planning Policy Guidance Note 15 and the English Heritage Conservation Area Practice and Conservation Area Appraisal documents) requires detailed appraisals of each conservation area in the form of formally approved and published documents. This enhanced process involves the review of original designation procedures and boundaries; analysis of historical development; identification of all listed buildings and those unlisted buildings making a positive contribution to an area; and the identification and description of key townscape features, including street patterns, trees, open spaces and building types.

Through a basic marking sampler, the young lady would learn to sew and use darning stitches, necessary for her future roles as wife, mother, and housekeeper. As samplers continued to be made, religious verses and maxims were added to guide her toward a purposeful life. Decorative bands of geometrical motifs were copied across the width of the sampler and served as a reference when the young woman wished to embellish an article of clothing or household linen.

  • APTG GOES to the TOWER on 4 March Over Three Dozen Members of Twenty Different Travel Trade Organisations Came to See the Ceremony of the Keys As Guests of APTG
    APTG GOES TO THE TOWER On 4 March over three dozen members of twenty different travel trade organisations came to see the Ceremony of the Keys as guests of APTG. They were hosted by a dozen guides, allowing us to share a very fine evening at the Tower and giving us a chance to show our special relationship with HRP and the Yeoman Warders. We funded drinks in the Yeoman Warders’ Club and each guide was given an up to date briefing before the event. This meant we could take the opportunity to explain the breadth of our knowledge, skills and languages combined with the ease of booking via the GuideLondon website. This is one of the ways your Branch Council is bringing work opportunities to APTG members. The evening was an uplifting experience and Yeoman Warder John Donald was a witty and knowledgeable host. The Ceremony was carried out by Gurkhas, commanded there for the first time by a female officer. The final, perfect ending came when the salute was taken by the Constable of the APTG Chair Nick Hancock and Yeoman Warder John Donald Tower General Sir Nicholas Houghton who, in his final words, made specific mention of guides being guests that night. Truly we have friends in high places! Over £300 was raised by the THE TOWER COMES TO APTG raffle for YW chosen charities and Nick Hancock gave an Yeoman Warder and Tower extra £250 from the Guild and APTG. Ravenmaster Chris Skaife (left) gave an entertaining presentation to APTG members MEMBERS OPEN MEETINGS before the March Members’ The next Members Open Meeting will be on Tuesday 9 Open Meeting at the Unite April at 6:30 pm in the Unite Office, WC1X 8TN.
