  • Louise Simone Armshaw
    1 ‘Do the duty that lies nearest to thee’: Elizabeth Gaskell, Philanthropy and Writing Louise Simone Armshaw Submitted by Louise Simone Armshaw to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Master of Philosophy in English September 2011. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (Signature) ……………………………………………………………………………… 2 3 Abstract This thesis examines the relationship between Gaskell’s philanthropy and her three social problem novels. Examining Gaskell in the context of Victorian philanthropy, I will argue that this is a relationship of far greater complexity than has previously been perceived. Gaskell’s Unitarian faith will be of particular relevance as different denominations often had unique approaches to philanthropy, and I will begin by examining Gaskell’s participation with philanthropy organised by her congregation, taking the charity bazaar as my example of this. Examining Gaskell’s three social problem novels in chronological order I will demonstrate that Gaskell rejects these forms of organised Victorian philanthropy, referred to as ‘associated philanthropy,’ in favour of developing her own vision of philanthropy in her novels. I will examine how Gaskell’s participation with ‘associated philanthropy,’ and the individual pursuit of her own philanthropic interests, shapes the development of her philanthropic vision in her fiction.

  • The Last Survival of Horsham Barracks. by Ben Townsend, Historical Consultant
    Providence Chapel - the last survival of Horsham Barracks. By Ben Townsend, Historical Consultant (www.historicalconsultant.com) Prepared 2016 Introduction. When serving in Britain, the Georgian army conformed to a set of movement patterns which hardly varied from the eighteenth to the early nineteenth century. The dictates of physical and social geography generally and population densities in the various regions, economic fluctuations and their accompanying social unrest, an as yet unimproved and archaic road network, together with a general lack of quarters large enough to house great numbers of troops, and the vagaries of crises, the international wars and disputes, rebellion, local riots and disorders- these were the factors that most significantly affected the patterns of troop movements and camps. Whereas the geography provided the framework- the points of embarkation around Britain’s shores, the crossings between England, Scotland and Wales, the main march corridors the army used in Britain and to some extent the duty areas occupied- it was civil events that dictated the rate of movement and activated the motor mechanism setting the army in motion. In the 1790s, the most imminent threat to Britain came from the forces of revolutionary France, and so Horsham became an important staging post as it was situated at the crossroads of two military logistic routes: that between London and the south coast embarkation points; and that between Chatham and Portsmouth naval depots. Sussex had traditionally quartered a regiment of cavalry at any given time, dispersed in billets on anti-smuggling duties, and detachments operated as far north as the Surrey border to choke off inland smuggling arterial routes, but it now began to accommodate ever more soldiers as they concentrated towards the south coast, both in defence and as a preliminary to transport abroad.

  • Peacock Mausoleum
    Peacock Mausoleum This sumptuous mausoleum takes the form of a Gothic shrine with a steeply pitched roof and arched openings filled with tracery and surmounted by gablets. The statues standing on slender pedestals at the four corners of the monument represent a Blacksmith, a Draughtsman, an Engineer and the architect himself. Further carved embellishments include head-stops, bats and twining ivy. Architect(s) Thomas Worthington Listing Grade II* (England and Wales) Year Created 1875 Style Gothic Revival History Richard Peacock (1820-89) was one of the giants of railway engineering. He was educated in Leeds and, at the age of eighteen, was locomotive superintendent of the Leeds and Selby Railway. In 1841 he came to Manchester to manage the locomotive division of the Manchester and Sheffield Railway. Having set up the Company’s works at Gorton, he was thereafter heavily involved with the development of this part of Manchester. He was a Liberal MP and prominent member of the Unitarian community, building the magnificent Brookfield Unitarian Church in Hyde Road between 1868 and 1871. The list description says the mausoleum in the churchyard there was built in memory of Joseph Peacock, Richard’s son, who died in 1875, while Anthony Pass gives the date of construction as 1890, following the death of Richard himself. The earlier date seems more likely. Condition Still sound, though the bronze angels that used to stand on the gables at either end were stolen some years ago (1997).

  • Musical Networks in Early Victorian Manchester R M Johnson Phd 2020
    Musical Networks in Early Victorian Manchester R M Johnson PhD 2020 Musical Networks in Early Victorian Manchester RACHEL MARGARET JOHNSON A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Manchester Metropolitan University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Awarded for a Collaborative Programme of Research at the Royal Northern College of Music by Manchester Metropolitan University 2020 Abstract My dissertation demonstrates how a new and distinctive musical culture developed in the industrialising society of early Victorian Manchester. It challenges a number of existing narratives relating to the history of music in nineteenth-century Britain, and has implications for the way we understand the place of music in other industrial societies and cities. The project is located at the nexus between musicology, cultural history and social history, and draws upon ideas current in urban studies, ethnomusicology and anthropology. Contrary to the oft-repeated claim that it was Charles Hallé who ‘brought music to Manchester’ when he arrived in 1848, my archival research reveals a vast quantity and variety of music-making and consumption in Manchester in the 1830s and 1840s. The interconnectedness of the many strands of this musical culture is inescapable, and it results in my adoption of ‘networks’ as an organising principle. Tracing how the networks were formed, developed and intertwined reveals just how embedded music was in the region’s social and civic life. Ultimately, music emerges as an agent of particular power in the negotiation and transformation of the concerns inherent within the new industrial city. The dissertation is structured as a series of interconnected case studies, exploring areas as diverse as the music profession, glee and catch clubs, the Hargreaves Choral Society’s programme notes, Mechanics’ Institutions and the early Victorian public music lecture.
