  • The Construction of Northumberland House and the Patronage of Its Original Builder, Lord Henry Howard, 1603–14
    The Antiquaries Journal, 90, 2010,pp1 of 60 r The Society of Antiquaries of London, 2010 doi:10.1017⁄s0003581510000016 THE CONSTRUCTION OF NORTHUMBERLAND HOUSE AND THE PATRONAGE OF ITS ORIGINAL BUILDER, LORD HENRY HOWARD, 1603–14 Manolo Guerci Manolo Guerci, Kent School of Architecture, University of Kent, Marlowe Building, Canterbury CT27NR, UK. E-mail: [email protected] This paper affords a complete analysis of the construction of the original Northampton (later Northumberland) House in the Strand (demolished in 1874), which has never been fully investigated. It begins with an examination of the little-known architectural patronage of its builder, Lord Henry Howard, 1st Earl of Northampton from 1603, one of the most interesting figures of the early Stuart era. With reference to the building of the contemporary Salisbury House by Sir Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury, the only other Strand palace to be built in the early seventeenth century, textual and visual evidence are closely investigated. A rediscovered eleva- tional drawing of the original front of Northampton House is also discussed. By associating it with other sources, such as the first inventory of the house (transcribed in the Appendix), the inside and outside of Northampton House as Henry Howard left it in 1614 are re-configured for the first time. Northumberland House was the greatest representative of the old aristocratic mansions on the Strand – the almost uninterrupted series of waterfront palaces and large gardens that stretched from Westminster to the City of London, the political and economic centres of the country, respectively. Northumberland House was also the only one to have survived into the age of photography.

  • Concept & Conjecture
    CONCEPT & CONJECTURE THE INTRIGUING DESIGN OF CHILHAM CASTLE & ITS LONG-FORGOTTEN LINKS WITH WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE MICHAEL H. PETERS Michael H Peters FRICS Retired Auctioneer & Surveyor Volunteer Historian at Chilham Castle since 2003 Copyright © Michael H Peters 2013 The author asserts the moral right to be identified as the author of this work 2 “Be sure, our Shakespeare, Leonard Digges 1588 -1635 (brother of Dudley Digges, builder of Chilham Castle) thou canst never die” A page from the last Will & Testament of William Shakespeare Its Overseer was Thomas Russell (step-father of Dudley & Leonard Digges) “two-footed moles & toads whom destiny & nature hath ordained to crawl within the earth, & suck upon the muck” Thus did Thomas Digges (father of Dudley & Leonard, pioneering astronomer, surveyor & mathematician of international status) describe those who did not support his conclusions. “such men may not possibly by any vehement exhortation be reduced or moved to taste or savour any whit of virtue, science, or any such celestial influence” I hope that I can carry my readers through to my conclusions without any such “vehement exhortation” Michael H Peters February 2013 3 INTRODUCTION A forgotten link renewed centuries after it was forged The house known as Chilham Castle was built between 1612 & 1616 by Sir Dudley Digges (1583-1639) a merchant adventurer, a Parliamentarian &, latterly, a senior Judge. Its unique design & alignment reflect his family background, steeped in mathematics & maybe more.... In 2003, soon after acquiring Chilham castle, Tessa & Stuart Wheeler invited me to begin a study of its history. In 2012, after nearly a decade’s study, a series of facts hit me, like thunderbolts, highlighting links between Dudley Digges & a family friend called William Shakespeare.
