  • 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.

  • John Denham: New Letters and Documents
    JOHN DENHAM: NEW LETTERS AND DOCUMENTS HILTON KELLIHER IT was inevitable that the fundamental divisions made in English society by the Civil Wars should affect the ranks of the poets and playwrights, and unsurprising that the former largely and the latter almost entirely would adhere to the king's party. Not that, from our more distant vantage-point at least, the literary advantage lay with the larger faction. When the lines were drawn the Parliamentarians could muster Milton, Marvell, the young Dryden, and, proximum longo intervalloj the elderly George Wither, who had done his best work in the reign of James L Edmund Waller occupied an unenviable position between the two camps; while Cowley, Denham, Fanshawe, Lovelace, Quarks, and Suckling, along with the dramatists Davenant, the two Killigrews and Shirley, are the most notable of those who either served Charles I or his successor in exile or suffered directly on their behalf. Among the latter party John Denham (fig. i) occupied in political terms a moderately distinguished place, acting as agent at home and as envoy abroad to both Charles Stuarts in turn. As a poet he is chiefly remembered as the author of Cooper^s Hill^ the first great topographical poem in the language, and he is sometimes said to be the one who did most to promote the transition of English verse from the Metaphysical to the Augustan mode. The purpose of the present rather disjointed notes is to supplement the very different but equally indispensable accounts given by his earliest biographer, John Aubrey,^ and his latest, Brendan O'Hehir,^ with some letters and documents that have recently come to light, more especially relating to his life in exile on the Continent between September 1648 and March 1653.

  • 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.

  • 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.
