  • Chapel of Longleat House, Wiltshire
    case study 11 Chapel of Longleat House, Wiltshire 1684 Private chapel, extant but gothicized1 Architect: William Taylor A London surveyor, active during the reigns of Charles II and James II, Taylor was employed by the first Viscount Weymouth from 1682 onwards to carry out works at Longleat House, including the fitting up of the chapel. A few years later Weymouth employed him for the building of a new chapel at Minsterley, his house in Shropshire.2 Historical note Few Elizabethan estates had a chapel. Among the great prodigy houses, Hardwick was unusual in having a functioning chapel.3 At Longleat the archi- tectural features of the former chapel, including the chapel window and but- tresses, were dismantled before 1580 at the request of Sir John Thynne’s mason because they would “much disvergure” the overall design of the building.4 According to Annabel Ricketts the seventeenth-century chapel was L-shaped, located on the ground floor and oriented to the north-west. The shape probably resulted from the symmetry of the overall plan.5 The arrange- ment of the chapel was part of a major rearrangement of the whole house, commissioned by the first Viscount Weymouth and executed by William Taylor. However, Weymouth also took advice from Wren. In 1683 he wrote to his brother “he would be grateful for Sir Christopher Wren’s opinion.”6 1 Annabel Ricketts, The English Country House Chapel, Building a Protestant Tradition (Reading: Spire books, 2007), 274. 2 Henry Lancaster, “Thynne Thomas, first Viscount Weymouth (bap. 1640, d. 1714), politician,” in Oxford Dictionary of National Biography Online (2008), doi:10.1093/ref:odnb/27424.

  • The Sheriffs of Shropshire," Has Entered at Considerable Length Into the History of the Ancient Family of Thynne, Otherwise Botfield, Or Botevyle
    468 THE FAMILY OF 'l'HYNNE, OTHERWISE BO'l'FIELD. THE Rev. J. B. Blakeway, in his account of "The Sheriffs of Shropshire," has entered at considerable length into the history of the ancient family of Thynne, otherwise Botfield, or Botevyle. He has correctly discarded the idea, originating with Matthew Paris, that the first recorded ancestor of this family, Geoffrey Botevile, was a native of Poictou, and that he settled on lands in Stretton, in the county of Salop, given him by the Earl of Arundel,' .and which lands were afterwards called by his name of Botevile: the fact being that the family, instead of giving their name to the place, derived their surname there• from; and the various members thereof are, upon all the ancient Court Rolls of the manor of Stretton, described as Bottefeld of Bottefeld, although in later years the branch of the family which continued to reside there adopted the orthography of Botevyle, by which name the place itself is now usually known. Mr. Blakeway himself has, however, fallen into several errors in the detail of the family; and his admission that Sir Ralph de Theyne, knight, who was examined in the great plea of arms, Lovel v. Morley, in 1395, might have belonged to this house was certainly made without any sufficient reason : for the name of Thynne was unknown in this distinguished Shrop• shire family until after the division of the family estates in the manor of Stretton in 1439, when Thomas Bottefeld settled his copyhold lands at Bottefeld upon his younger son John Botte• feld, the ancestor of the line thereafter resident on that estate, and his eldest son William Bottefeld adopted for his residence the mansion or inn a at Stretton, to which the freehold lands of the family, with various detached copyholds, were attached, and thus formed a separate estate and residence for himself and his descendants.

DEPARTMENT CHURCH ••.;••• P-. .go CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS Omnes, si ad originem primam revocantur, a dis sunt. SENECA, Epist. xliv. One hundred copies of this work have been printed. PREFACE '•"^AN these bones live ? . and the breath came into them, and they ^-^ lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.' The question, that was asked in Ezekiel's vision, seems to have been answered satisfactorily ; but it is no easy matter to breathe life into the dry bones of more than a thousand pedigrees : for not many of us are interested in the genealogies of others ; though indeed to those few such an interest is a living thing. Several of the following pedigrees are to be found among the most ancient of authenticated genealogical records : almost all of them have been derived from accepted and standard works ; and the most modern authorities have been consulted ; while many pedigrees, that seemed to be doubtful, have been omitted. Their special interest is to be found in the fact that (with the exception of some of those whose names are recorded in the Wallop pedigree, including Sir John Wallop, K.G., who ' walloped' the French in 1515) every person, whose lineage is shown, is a direct (not a collateral) ancestor of a family, whose continuous descent can be traced since the thirteenth century, and whose name is identical with that part of England in which its members have held land for more than seven hundred and fifty years.

Salisbury Plain and West Wiltshire Downs Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment 1 2 3 White Paper , Biodiversity 2020 and the European Landscape Convention , we are North revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas East that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision- Yorkshire making framework for the natural environment. & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their West decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape East scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader Midlands partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help West Midlands to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. East of England Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key London drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are South East suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance South West on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

  • THE ORIGIN of the THYNNES. I Have Always Taken Some Interest In
    193 THE ORIGIN OF THE THYNNES. I have always taken some interest in the origin of the Thynnes of Longleat, not only as being myself their senior heir-general, but also because, as is well known, the alleged origin of their name is very peculiar. The evidence seems to me, at least, so unsatisfactory that I should like to treat the subject in a critical spirit. The best account, beyond question, is that written by Mr. Morris in 1855,1 Mr. Botfield's "Stemmata Botvilliana" being based on the researches of Mr. Morris. But, at the outset, I dispute wholly the supposition that the "inne" from which the family took its name, could be their residence at Stretton. Mr. Morris instances "Talbot lune," the Earl of Shrewsbury's town house at Shrewsbury; and Mr. Botfield appeals to Lincoln's Inn, Gray's Inn, Furnival's Inn, etc. But these all prove that the " Inn" was the town residence of a country noble ; it was certainly not the name of his own home in the country, still less the name of a small freeholder's home. The idea, I do not hesitate to say, is simply out of the question. My next point is that I can find no evidence of a Botfield taking the name of Thynne (" of th'inne "). Botfields we have, and Thynnes we have; but no Botfield speaks of a Thynne as a relative, nor does any Thynne so speak of a Botfield ; nor did any of the family style himself Thynne alias Botfield, till they began to rise in position under Henry VIII.
