  • 'X'marks the Spot: the History and Historiography of Coleshill House
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON FACULTY OF HUMANITIES Department of History ‘X’ Marks the Spot: The History and Historiography of Coleshill House, Berkshire by Karen Fielder Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy June 2012 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT FACULTY OF HUMANITIES DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY Doctor of Philosophy ‘X’ MARKS THE SPOT: THE HISTORY AND HISTORIOGRAPHY OF COLESHILL HOUSE, BERKSHIRE by Karen Fielder Coleshill House was a much admired seventeenth-century country house which the architectural historian John Summerson referred to as ‘a statement of the utmost value to British architecture’. Following a disastrous fire in September 1952 the remains of the house were demolished amidst much controversy shortly before the Coleshill estate including the house were due to pass to the National Trust. The editor of The Connoisseur, L.G.G. Ramsey, published a piece in the magazine in 1953 lamenting the loss of what he described as ‘the most important and significant single house in England’. ‘Now’, he wrote, ‘only X marks the spot where Coleshill once stood’. Visiting the site of the house today on the Trust’s Coleshill estate there remains a palpable sense of the absent building. This thesis engages with the house that continues to exist in the realm of the imagination, and asks how Coleshill is brought to mind not simply through the visual signals that remain on the estate, but also through the mental reckoning resulting from what we know and understand of the house. In particular, this project explores the complexities of how the idea of Coleshill as a canonical work in British architectural histories was created and sustained over time.

  • Hillsborough Castle Demesne a Short Historical Account
    NIHGC 2015 ANNUAL CONFERENCE Hillsborough Castle Demesne A short historical account By the late nineteenth century the Hill family, who had attained the title Marquess of Downshire, among many other noble titles, were one the largest landowners in Ireland with over 120,000 acres, of which around 70,000 were in County Down. The Hills were descended from Moyses Hill (c.1550-1630), a landless young gentleman from the West Country who came to Ireland in 1573 with Walter Devereux, first Earl of Essex, during the reign of Elizabeth. Moyses fought in various campaigns against the O'Neills, rising through the ranks to become Provost Marshall of Carrickfergus Castle and then Provost Marshall for Ulster (1617), in addition to being elected MP (1613) for Co. Antrim. For his services, he had been granted extensive estates in Ulster and had a number of residences, but it seems his main one was Hill Hall (Kinmuck), a strong house outside Lisburn, where he died in 1630, aged seventy-six. Among the lands that he purchased in County Down were eleven townlands from Brian Oge Magennis in the lordship of Kilwarlin in 1611, lands that included the former medieval settlement of Crumlin or Cromlyn, later Hillsborough. The Foundation of Hillsborough While the Small Park of Hillsborough Castle is essentially an 18 th century creation, it’s history goes back to medieval times, for this area, known as Crumlin or Cromlyn (crooked glen) was the focus of the early settlement, with an ancient church and the original Magennis family residence of the Kilwarlin lordship. The earliest reference to the church at Crumlin is from the 1306 Taxatio Ecclesiastica of Pope Nicholas IV where according to Reeves it can be identified as the chapel of Drumboe church, near Lisburn.

    Education Leaflet 1 R.M.S. TITANIC If the circumstances under which the launch took place can be accepted as an augury of the future, the TITANIC should be a huge success…’ Belfast Newsletter, 1 June 1911 Such were the expectations held of the R.M.S. TITANIC as she prepared to sail the trans-Atlantic route from Southampton to New York, calling on route at Cherbourg in northern France and Queenstown (now Cobh) on the south coast of Ireland. The great liner, built by Harland and Wolff Ltd. at the Queen’s Island shipyard in Belfast for the Oceanic Steam Navigation Company (commonly known as the White Star Line) was launched on 31 May 1911. Weighing in at 46,328 gross tons with a length of 852.5 foot she was, at the time, the largest ship ever built and considered practically unsinkable. Tragically, her maiden voyage, which began on 10 April 1912, was to end in disaster. On the night of 14 April at 11.40 p.m. RMS TITANIC struck an iceberg south of the Grand Banks. Less than three hours later, she sunk without trace. The captain, Edward V. Smith, went down with his ship, together with 1,503 passengers and crew. There were only 703 survivors. By the time S.S. CARPATHIA arrived at the scene of the disaster (at 4.10 a.m. on the morning of the 15th) there was only debris: a few deck chairs, some cork lifebelts and a body marked the spot where the great ship had gone down. Belfast is justifiably proud of being the TITANIC’S birthplace.
