  • The Manor House by the River Ouse at Hemingford Grey, Huntingdonshire Watercolour
    William Fraser GARDEN (Gillingham 1856 - Huntingdon 1921) The Manor House by the River Ouse at Hemingford Grey, Huntingdonshire Watercolour. Signed and dated W. F. GARDEN: ‘95. at the lower left. Inscribed Manor-house, Hemingford Grey. on the verso. 229 x 181 mm. (9 x 7 1/8 in.) The old Norman manor house at Hemingford Grey, situated close to the late 12th century church of Saint James, is noted by Pevsner as being ‘of very special interest’ for its central hall, which dates from the 12th century. The gardens of the manor house, which was the rented home of Fraser Garden’s parents, extended down to the River Ouse, with a moat enclosing the grounds on the other three sides. Provenance: The Broderick family, Lytham St. Annes, Lancashire. Artist description: Born into a family of artists, Garden William Fraser changed his name to William Fraser Garden so as to distinguish himself from his six brothers, all but one of whom were also active as landscape artists. Arguably the best of the so-called ‘Fraser Brotherhood’, Fraser Garden exhibited his watercolours at the Royal Academy, the Royal Scottish Academy and the Royal Institute of Painters in Water-Colours. The subjects of his watercolours were by and large views of the fen villages along the river Ouse, such as Holywell, Hemingford Grey and St. Ives, characterized by a remarkable attention to detail and crisp, cool lighting. Throughout the 1880’s Garden was represented by the Dowdeswell Gallery in New Bond Street in London, who sold a number of his works. By 1890, however, he seems to have given up exhibiting in London, and from then on relied on a small number of local collectors in Huntingdonshire.

  • English Medieval Population: Reconciling Time Series and Cross Sectional Evidence
    ENGLISH MEDIEVAL POPULATION: RECONCILING TIME SERIES AND CROSS SECTIONAL EVIDENCE Stephen Broadberry, London School of Economics, [email protected] Bruce M. S. Campbell, The Queen’s University of Belfast, [email protected] Bas van Leeuwen, University of Warwick, [email protected] 11 October 2011 File: MedievalPopulation8 Abstract: A new time series for English medieval population is constructed from manor-level data using an index-number approach and a regional-weighting scheme. The absolute level of the medieval population is established with a benchmark for 1377, but using the need for consistency with other benchmarks for 1086, 1522 and 1541 as additional constraints. The amount of food required to support the peak medieval population is checked against a reconstruction of English agriculture at that time. Acknowledgements: This paper forms part of the project “Reconstructing the National Income of Britain and Holland, c.1270/1500 to 1850”, funded by the Leverhulme Trust, Reference Number F/00215AR.We are grateful to Alexander Apostolides for valuable research assistance and to Larry Poos for making available his data on tithing-penny payments. 1 I. INTRODUCTION The pioneering work on English medieval population by Russell (1948) established benchmark levels of population for 1086 and 1377 and considered time-series evidence to link these to each other and to estimates for the early-modern period.
