  • Faircourt, the Kusers, and the Somerset Hills in the “Gilded Age”
    FAIRCOURT, THE KUSERS, AND THE SOMERSET HILLS IN THE “GILDED AGE” The communities comprising the Somerset Hills were fundamentally changed following the arrival of the railroad in Bernardsville in 1872 and the subsequent development of the large and luxurious summer resort hotel, the Somerset Inn, on the Bernardsville–Mendham Road. Both factors were key to exposing the area to prominent and affluent families from New York and Newark, many of whom liked what they saw and decided to stay. The original Bernardsville railroad station, from 1872 to 1901-02. It was later moved and is now the Bernardsville News office. The Somerset Inn started as a boarding house in 1870, and grew to become a large and luxurious summer resort hotel hosting up to 400 guests. It burned to the ground in 1908. Except for the periodic excitement created by soldiers in the area during the American Revolution, what had long been a quiet, peaceful and relatively isolated area consisting of small family farms and quaint villages was transformed during the last quarter of the nineteenth century and the first decades of the twentieth into a colony of large and elaborate estates. These properties were designed by some of the country’s most prominent architects and landscape architects for a new class of financiers and industrialists who had amassed enormous fortunes in the years following the Civil War. Although the increasingly crowded, noisy and grimy urban centers were the principal sources of this vast new wealth, these business moguls sought out the open and beautiful rolling countryside of New Jersey as a retreat from the city and a way to capture—and in many ways to create from scratch—what they saw as the fading ideal of the bucolic life.

  • Harry Hems and St Peter's Revelstoke, Noss Mayo, Devon
    ‘A Master in the Art’: Harry Hems and St Peter’s Revelstoke, Noss Mayo, Devon by Sue Andrew Extracted with permission from Ecclesiology Today Issues 55 & 56 2017, published May 2018 ‘A Master in the Art’: Harry Hems and St Peter’s Revelstoke, Noss Mayo, Devon Sue Andrew SCULPTOR AND CARVER Harry Hems (1842–1916) Having spent many years gazing established the highly-prolific and internationally-renowned upward at medieval roof bosses, Sue Andrew has come to appreciate Ecclesiastical Art Works in Exeter in the late nineteenth century, carvings at lower level and later date, yet he has been comparatively little studied. In part this may be especially the late nineteenth- and because the archive of original documents from his business was early twentieth-century work of Harry almost certainly destroyed when his sons retired in 1938,1 but Hems of Exeter. letters from Hems to a patron concerning the furnishing and decoration of one particular church built in 1880–82 – St Peter’s Revelstoke, Noss Mayo, Devon – do survive.2 These letters, together with the rich and varied carvings at the church, and contemporary photographs of the work taken at Hems’s studios, afford us a rare and fascinating glimpse of the man and his methods (Fig. 1). Carving a career – the early years of Harry Hems Hems was born in Islington, and seemed destined to spend his working life in the cutlery business, his mother’s family being the Wostenholms, owners of a firm of highly successful cutlers based in Sheffield. An apprenticeship with the firm did not suit, however, although Hems did adopt as his personal motto the firm’s trademark: I.X.L.

    Dovecote House Dovecote House Membland, Newton Ferrers, PL8 1HP Village Centre 1 mile Plymouth 10 miles Exeter 43 miles • Pretty South Hams Hamlet • Sought After Area • Large Historic Property with Character and Charm • Beautifully Refurbished to a Very High Standard Throughout • Very Flexible Accommodation • Parking and Glorious Gardens Guide price £650,000 SITUATION Dovecote House sits in the middle of the pretty hamlet of Membland, which itself sits on the outskirts of the highly sought after creekside villages of Noss Mayo and Newton Ferrers. Steeped in history, this property perfectly complements its stunning South Devon surroundings. It is easy to understand why this part of the South Hams is so desirable, gorgeous rural scenery, beautiful beaches with waterside walks and sleepy, pretty little villages. Despite this rural idyll, the village has good access to the local towns and cities such as Plymouth, Modbury, Kingsbridge, Totnes and, slightly further afield, Exeter. An immaculate beautifully refurbished Grade II Listed 4 bed DESCRIPTION Dovecote House is a truly unique 18th century property that offers c. 4400 sq ft property in a stunning South Hams location. of contemporary beautifully refurbished space which marries harmoniously the old with the new. This semi detached property currently has 2 large bedrooms and 2 beautiful bathrooms in the main house and a further 2 bedrooms and bathroom in an attached annexe. The 2 properties, however, could easily be incorporated into one, if required. There is currently a huge studio room which offers a vast array of possibilities. The ground floor of the main property is beautifully arranged and it would be easy to knock through into the existing garage which would create a wonderfully large ground floor living area.

  • The New Gilded Age May 24, 2020
    The New Gilded Age May 24, 2020 Ice Skating on Tuxedo Lake (Source: Library of Congress) History never repeats itself, but the Kaleidoscopic combinations of the pictured present often seem to be constructed out of the broken fragments of antique legends. - The Gilded Age: A Tale of To-Day, by Mark Twain (1874) ©2020 Epsilon Theory 1 All rights reserved. Winston Churchill has probably since eclipsed him in this regard, but for decades Mark Twain was the person to whom you attributed a quotation if you didn’t know who said it. That whole bit he did about history rhyming but not repeating? It’s probably apocryphal, too, but at least Twain actually did write the thing that spawned the briefer expression. Strangely, it comes from what is probably his worst book, an attempted collaboration with another author that never really works. Yet even the title of this forgettable novel managed to spur the creation of a new term: The Gilded Age. Now, because it makes for better storytelling, modern conversations about the Gilded Age as a period tend to focus on excess. We imagine – both individually and in our artistic representations of the period – lavish parties, opulence, and absurd displays of wealth and status. And yes, it was a time when neither taxes nor anti-monopoly power had much authority to displace the ambitions of the extremely wealthy. In Manhattan and Newport, old and new money competed openly for social status. If that is what we mean when we use the expression – a time in which the doctrine of Social Darwinism made conspicuous consumption not only acceptable but morally proper – we wouldn’t be very wrong.

Still following signs for Stoke, go straight through the hamlet called Battisborough Cross. You keep going along this road for about half a mile. You will pass the entrance to Carswell Farm on your left and the entrance to Poole Farm on your right. Take the next road on the right marked Lambside Farm and go down the lane. You will see Corner Cottage on your right and then a set of big stone barns on your left. The entrance to Lambside House is a gravel drive just at the end of this range of barns.

    EEC/11/28/HQ Public Rights of Way Committee 3 March 2011 Definitive Map Review 2010 – 2011 Parish of Holbeton Report of the Executive Director of Environment, Economy and Culture Please note that the following recommendation is subject to consideration and determination by the Committee before taking effect. Recommendation: It is recommended that a Modification Order be made to modify the Definitive Map and Statement by adding a restricted byway in respect of Suggestion 1 between points A and B as shown on drawing no. EEC/PROW/10/94. 1. Summary The report examines the Definitive Map Review in the Parish of Holbeton in the District of South Hams, including a Schedule 14 application made by the Trail Riders Fellowship for the addition of a byway open to all traffic from the county road near Pool Mill Farm to the county road near Henna Mill. 2. Background The original survey under s. 27 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 revealed five footpaths and three bridleways in Holbeton, which were recorded on the Definitive Map and Statement with a relevant date of 11 October 1954. The review of the Definitive Map, under s. 33 of the 1949 Act, which commenced in the 1970s but was never completed, produced one valid proposal for change to the Definitive Map at that time, namely the addition of a bridleway from Pool Mill to Henna Mill, which is discussed in this report. The Limited Special Review of RUPPs, carried out in the 1970s, did not affect the parish. The following Agreements and Orders have been made: Plympton St Mary Creation Agreement 1966 in respect of Footpath No.
