    A Study Into the Material Culture of the Morgan Family of Tredegar House

    A Study into the Material Culture of the Morgan Family of INTRODUCTION Tredegar House in the late-Seventeenth Century There are many reasons why people wanted to own material goods, some practical, some financial, some psychological. This makes it necessary to explore social as well as economic factors. 1 Becky Gingell As Lorna Weatherill’s comments above, there are a variety of ways in which the study of material culture can be examined, as well as a number of reasons for such an investigation. The study of material culture can provide a vivid insight into the past, and a vast amount can be discovered about the individuals who owned the household goods. The ability to purchase new items was obviously determined by the person’s financial background and whether they were a spendthrift by nature, or perhaps less inclined to use their wealth, ranging from practical necessities of the household to the accumulation of personal niceties, to the more fundamental psychological reasons for owning such goods – desire and emulation. The Morgan family of Tredegar has had a long association with the county of Monmouthshire dating as far back as the fifteenth century and finally ending in the twentieth century when the house was finally sold. Each member of the Morgan family was famous during their lifetime and several grew to be significant entrepreneurs, while others became renowned for their eccentric behaviour. What this study will concentrate upon is the ownership of Tredegar House during the late-seventeenth century and the way in which the estate was run coinciding with the material culture of the owners during this period.

    Report on the Administrative History of the Chartist Trials Papers

    A Report on the Administrative History of the ‘Chartist Trials’ Papers Introduction: The documents now referred to as the ‘Chartist Trials’ papers, an archive collection conserved and catalogued by Newport Public Library c. 1960 in a series of twenty-five bound volumes, consist primarily of the records generated during the magistrates’ preliminary hearings conducted at the Westgate Hotel, Newport, the scene of the Chartist Rising. These hearings, held in preparation for the Chartist Trials at Monmouth in January 1840, commenced on Tuesday 5 November and were held almost continuously down to Saturday 30 November (some residual cases were heard at Monmouth on the 4 & 5 December ), before the Grand Jury for the Special Commission assembled at Shire Hall on 10 December 1839. In the course of these hearings the capital charge of high treason was initially made against fifty of the accused. The Attorney-General, Sir John Campbell, and the prosecution team subsequently reduced the number charged with high treason to a total of twenty persons (in part for reasons of practical legal management). Broadly speaking the remaining Chartists indicted for offences during the Rising were prosecuted on the lesser charges of riot and conspiracy, and sedition. The Grand Jury (sitting 10-11 Dec.) found true bills to proceed to the main trial by Petty Jury against fourteen of the twenty persons presented for the charge of high treason . Of the preliminary hearings that commenced on the morning of 5 November John Frost, Charles Waters and John Partridge were the first accused brought before the makeshift courtroom (Frost had been arrested the previous evening in the house of the printer John Partridge, by Thomas Jones Phillips).
