Haveringland. 349 Haveringland. 349 Churchill, daug~ter of the lat~ Duke of Mad borough. About forty years ago the late Lord de Ramsey erected a splendid new HALL, m the Italian style, on the eastern side of the extensive and well-wooded park, about half a mile from the old hall, which had long been the seat of his family. This elegant mansion IS now one of the finest seats in Norfolk, and is a square building of Bath stone, with a handsome tower at the north-Bast angle. The pleasure grounds are very extensive and tastefully laid out, and have spacious conservatories, hot-houses, &c. J n front of the house is a fine sheet of water covering 17 acres. In the Great Wood there are over 140 acres of Lilies of the V alley growing. The late proprietor of the parish greatly improved the estate and added to the comfort of the labourers, by pulling down all the old thatched houses and building a number of model cottagos, each of which contains three bedrooms, and has a quartor of an acre of land attached. He also rebuilt the CHuRCH (St. Peter) in 1858, except the ancient round tower, which is still retained. This beautiful church comprises nave, chancel, transepts, and south porch; all its windows are filled with rich stained glass, the floor is paved with encaustic tiles, and the pulpit, reading-desk, open seats, and other fittings are of fine oak. In 1888 a new organ was erected in memory of the late Lord de Ramsey, first baron, by his family. The perpetual curacy, augmented with £400 of Queen Anne's Bounty in 1755 and 1809, and now valued at £63, is in the patronage of Lord de Ramsey, and in the incumbency of the Rev. Thomas Medlicott Brown, B.A., who resides at Cawston. The SCHOOL was built by the Hon. Mrs. Fellowes in 1848. Near the village was De Monte J ovis Priory, founded in the reign of John by William de Gisneto, for Austin Canons, and granted at the Dissolution to William Ha.lse. On the north side of the parish is the lofty shaft of an ancient Cross. PosT OFFICE at Mrs. Sarah Harvey's. Letters arrive at 7.5 a..m., and are despatched at 4 p.m., via Norwich.

It is m Docking union, Lynn county court di8trict, and bankruptcy district, Smithdon hundred, Smithdon and Brothercross petty sessional division, IIeacham rural deanery, and Norfolk archdeacmtry. It has a rateable value of £6,206, and had 998 inhabitants in 1881, living on,_4,8u3 acres. Heacham is sheltered behind by a bold acclivity, at the foot of which a small rivulet flows across the salt-marsh to the flat beach. The principal owners of the soil are Hamon le Strange, Esq. (lord of the manor), E. Neville Rolfe, Esq., and Caius College, Cambridge. The H.ALL, a handsome red brick mansion in a. well-wooded park, belongs to Mr. H.olfe, and is occasionally occupied by Hugh Rose, Esq. I-Ieacham had a cell of Cluniac monks, under Lewes Abbey, to which this parish was given by William de Warenne, Earl of Surrey, in the reign of William Rufus. After the dissolution the manor and rectory were given to Thomas, Duke of Norfolk. The CHURCH (St. Mary) is a spacious building, originally in the form of a croRs; but the transepts are gone. It comprises nave with aisles and clerestory, chancel, south porch, and massive square central tower with two bells. The west window is a splendid specimen of the Decorated style, but all the other windows are Perpendicular ; the original east window has been filled up, a square-headed one now occupying its place, A low ceiling hides the roof of the church, and cuts off the whole of the arch of the fine west window. The south doorway is a beautiful specimen of Early English work, and in the porch are the remains of a holy­ water stoup. The church contains numerous tablets of the Rolfe, Redmayne, Elsden and other families. One of the Rolfes sailed with Sir Waiter Raleigh, and his marriage with the Princess Pocahontas, daughter of one of the most celebrated Indian chiefs; great~ facilitated the friendly interconrse between the natives and the English. The register dates from 1558. The vicarage, valued in K.B. at £6 l3s. 4d., was augmented in 1779 with £200 of Q.A.B., and is in the patronage of E. Neville Rolfe, Esq., and in the incumbency of the Rev. George Thomas Thompson, 1\LA., who has a yearly rent-charge of £263, awarded in 1839 in lieu of tithes. Messrs. Hamon le Strange and E. N eville Rolfe are impropriators of the great tithes. The 'VESLEYANS and PRIMITIVE. METHODISTS have each a chapel in the parish. The former was originally occupied by the Independents, and was erected in 1831, and the latter was built in 1862. The PAROCHIAL ScHooL, built in 1838 by a former incumbent, is attended by about 110 children. The Infant School was erected in 1815 by subscription, and is attended by about 70 children. The Poor's Land, 6a. 3r.15p., with a cottage, is let for £13 10s., and has been vested in trust from an early period, but was partly exchanged at the enclosure in 1781.

  • Lady Alice Le Strange 1585
    Lady Alice Le Strange 1586-1656 Lady Alice Le Strange was the wife of Sir Hamon Le Strange of Hunstanton, a Stuart landowner, whose estates were spread across North-West Norfolk and beyond. As well as being a member of the local gentry, Sir Hamon, whose family had held the manor of Hunstanton since the Norman conquest, was also a prominent figure in county politics. He represented the people of Norfolk as a Member of Parliament and like his father before him was Sheriff of Norfolk. Sir Hamon was an ardent supporter of the monarchy and church and openly displayed his Royalist sympathies in a county which had strong Parliamentarian leanings. The principal source of this article is the series of household accounts kept by Alice herself. No letters or personal papers have been found and it seems likely that these were deliberately destroyed, perhaps by Alice herself. But she speaks to us from these meticulously kept accounts. Those who spend some time reading these ledgers begin to feel they know Alice, her likes and dislikes, her character and even her favourite colour. Ketton Cremer calls her “… a woman of unconquerable spirit” and Alfred Kingston speaks of “…a capable woman, whose opinion of men and things, one feels, would have been worth having”. Her husband in his will in 1652 spoke of her thus: - “I thank thee [Lord]... abundantly for that comfortable union and blessed harmony which I have for many years enjoyed with that life of my life my dear wife…her ever dear esteem of my life and person and her most pious and painful care in the education of my children… and her ever incessant industry in straynes of knowledge above her sex”.

  • Review of Jane Whittle & Elizabeth Griffiths, Consumption and Gender
    Review of Jane Whittle & Elizabeth Griffiths, Consumption and Gender in the Early Seventeenth-Century Household: the World of Alice Le Strange (Oxford, Oxford University Press, 2012) Reviewer: William Farrell Birkbeck, University of London IHR Reviews in History, review no. 1358 http://www.history.ac.uk/reviews/review/1358 Where does the history of consumption happen? The answer would be easy for the history of production: the workplace. Historians can use a well-understood taxonomy to organise their research: the farm, the factory, the office and so on. The history of consumption has never had this precision, thanks to the less location-specific nature of consuming. Clothing, for example, acquired its power as a bearer of status and taste, partly because of the variety of situations in which people wore their garments. Similarly, people have eaten food at work or in the street as well as in their kitchens. Studies of consumption have addressed this problem in a number of ways. Some ‘go with the flow’, tracking the items of consumption across a range of situations, to show how meaning and use changes in different context. Others focus on particular sites where important decisions about consumption are made or a high volume of activity takes place. A popular one for historians has been the household. Jane Whittle and Elizabeth Griffiths have written a detailed study of consumption in a single household, that of the Le Stranges, a gentry family in early 17th–century Norfolk. The Le Stranges lived in the parish of Hunstanton on the north-west Norfolk coast and had been associated with the area since the 12th century.

Department of History The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 Date 29 April 1976 - ii - ABSTRACT This study of Norfolk and Bedfordshire in the civil war and Interregnum was based on an analysis of the membership of the various committees appointed for the counties between December 1642 and March 1660. The members of the committees were divided into groups for analysis according to the dates of their first and last appointments. The gentry of Norfolk and Bedfordshire, which were both Parliamentarian counties, filled the committees of the 1640s, as they had the commissions of the peace in the 1630s. After the execution of the King in January'' 1649, the membership of the Bedfordshire committees was drastically changed by the loss of almost all the gentry members, while the Norfolk committees remained largely unchanged until I65I-I652.

  • Historic Building Recording
    Historic Building Recording Site Name: The Old Hall Address: Lynn Road, Snettisham, PE31 7LR, Norfolk Grid Reference: TF6850834346 NHER Number: 1561 Planning Authority: King’s Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council Planning Application Number: 11/01514/F Historic Environment Service Reference: CNF43749 Report Compiled by: Mr Steven Edwards Date: 27 December 2011 1 1. Description of the Proposal Proposed is to convert The Old Hall, Snettisham (the “property”) from its previous use as a residential care home back to use as single family dwelling with annex for staff accomodation. The principal aims of the design are to remove the major Sue Ryder Care Home period (1980 to 2006) inserted institutional elements from the building thereby returning the layout to something approaching earlier arrangements as a single residence. The remaining historic elements of the house will be kept. The removal of the institutional elements will primarily entail the demolition of stud walls to open up historic room sizes, demolition of a lift shaft blocking an exterior fan window, demolition of an unsympathetic staircase that cut through the middle of the 18 th century west wing, with minimal opening of walls to permit new doors that rationalise building circulation and the removal of a pvc conservatory on the west wing. There are minor exterior changes proposed. They include the addition of a ceiling lantern in the north one story 20 th century extension to create a garden room, the addition of small glazed storm porch where the current pvc conservatory currently stands. The most notable exterior change will be the demolition of the front entrance porch (early-mid 20 th century) and reinstatement of the front entrance with door surround to the central front gable at the front of the house (see section 2 historic photos for illustration).

In East Anglia the floor forms part of the London-Brabant Massif and comes to within 150m of the surface. The overlying Mesozoic rocks are thin compared to Lincolnshire and to southern England, and it appears that the Massif has been a relatively stable area since the late Devonian.
