    A HOUSE FIT FOR A QUEEN:WINGFIELDHOUSE IN TACKET STREET,IPSWICHAND ITS HERALDICROOM byDIARMAIDMACCULLOCHANDJOHN BLATCHLY 'At Ipswich the Queen lodged in the house lately built by Sir Humphrey Wingfield to be fit for any degree of wealth or rank whatsoever, as I believe, with the intention that the first- fruits of the presence of the most excellent queen in all Europe on the morrow of her victory might be a perpetual distinction to his son Robert Wingfield . So wrote the Suffolkhistorian Robert Wingfieldof Brantham, swellingwith pride that he had been host at his Ipswichhome to Queen Mary on the morrow of her successful coupd'etatagainst the Duke of Northumberland in 1553.2All but a vestige of the original house has been demolished over the centuries, but fortunately what remains in 1992 is of great interest and significance.Substantial parts of the carved oak panelling from the principal room The Great Parlour' line the WingfieldRoom in Christchurch Mansion, Ipswich, and other traces of its lost grandeur surviveelsewhere,together with some documentary accounts. This room, which was the particular glory of the house, had some remarkable painted inscriptions which together with a richly ornate heraldic ceiling formed one of the most spectacular of such ensembles in Tudor East Anglia. It is the object of this paper to assess the dating and significanceof what was displayedin the room and to establishthe importance of one of Ipswich'salmost vanished historicbuildings. I THE SETTING:THE LOCATIONOF HOUSEANDROOM There is a good deal of confusion about the exact positions and extents of the mansions of three eminent and wealthy Tudor worthies who lived as near neighbours in St Stephen's parish in Ipswich.

  • Notes on the Growth of Ipswich Museums, with a Few Diversions"
    IPSWICH GEOLOGICAL GROUP BULLETIN No. 23 June 1982 CONTENTS R. A. D. Markham. "Notes on the Growth of Ipswich Museums, with a few diversions". pages 2-8. D. L. Jones. "Ipswich Museum and its Foundation. A Study in Patronage". pages 9-16. (J. E. Taylor). "The Non-Local Palaeontology Display at Ipswich Museum, 1871". pages 17-20. R. Markham. "A Note on Geology at Ipswich Museum". page 21. Page 1 NOTES ON THE GROWTH OF IPSWICH MUSEUMS, WITH A FEW DIVERSIONS. The Rev. William Kirby, rector of Barham, and natural historian and entomologist, suggested the formation of a Museum in Ipswich as long ago as 1791, but little is known of the result, if any, of this. However, in the 1820s and 1830s, museums appear to have been flourishing. Ipswich Museum was in the Corporation's old Town Hall, in an upper room near the clock, and the Literary Institution and the Mechanics Institution also had 'museums’, as did Mr. Simpson Seaman, an Ipswich natural history dealer. 1846 saw the start of a successful effort to establish a purpose-built Museum in Ipswich: the principal instigator of the plan was Mr. George Ransome of Ipswich. A Committee of Subscribers was formed, and the Committee rented a building (the first brick of which was laid the 1st. March 1847) in the then newly laid-out Museum Street. On the ground floor was the Library, the Secretary's and Curator's Rooms, and Specimen Preparation Rooms. The principal Museum Room was up the staircase. Around this room were mahogany and glass cases for animals and two cases of mahogany and glass table-cases for insects and geological specimens.
