  • THE ANCIENT PARISH CHURCH of RUNCORN Bert Starkey
    THE ANCIENT PARISH CHURCH OF RUNCORN Bert Starkey This Article is based on a talk given to the Runcorn & District Historical Society on Friday April 7th 2006. Bert Starkey was a Vice-President of the Society. He died in May 2011, aged 84. Runcorn is an ancient town. Its foundation dates back to 914 when Princess Ethelfleda built a fort at the narrows of the River Mersey in order to prevent Norse long ships from passing up the river. A settlement was established to support the garrison and the hamlet would require a church which was almost certainly built of wood. This would be replaced by stone during the Norman period. Over the following centuries the parish of Runcorn came into being. Its boundaries stretched to include Thelwall, Daresbury, Aston and Halton, making it a remarkably large parish. In these places chapels of ease were built to accommodate those parishioners who lived at a distance from the mother church in Runcorn. Each chapelry had a curate or priest in charge. A curate today is a young man starting out in his ministry, but a curate in times past could be up to 70 years of age. The congregations of the chapels were required to contribute to the upkeep of the Runcorn church. They had to pay towards its repair. They had to contribute towards the cost of the fencing, the gates, the stiles, and the bell ropes at Runcorn. The chapelries even had to pay a share of the costs of the candles, the communion bread and the wine used at the Runcorn church, and there were constant disputes between the Runcorn church wardens and the chapel wardens over money all the time right through the centuries.

  • What Can Victorian Country-House Planning Tell Us About English Social Values?
    What can Victorian country-house planning tell us about English social values? The nineteenth-century remains one of the greatest periods of country-house building to date. The concept of ‘Young England’, a romanticised reverence to Medieval, Elizabethan, Jacobean and Baroque themes, accrued popularity among a growing landed gentry, with fortunes in industry and commerce. Country Life publications and literature, including Heir of Redclyffe and Tom Brown, perpetuated gentlemanly lifestyles. Etiquette books meanwhile emulated Queen Victoria’s own ‘model’ family, inspiring new landowners investing in the most influential of status symbols - the country house. Whether grand, leisurely sites or modest family homes, this work aims to link such typically English social values as ambition, pride, originality, comfort, privacy, morality and technological innovation with their architectural counterparts. To the modern eye, Victorian country houses noticeably appeared ambitious in scale, the £120,000i spent on Bearwood, Berkshire giving testament to this. Mr Gregory’s "fancy to build a magnificent house in the Elizabethan style"ii became evident at Lincolnshire’s Harlaxton Manoriii, the grand piers and arches of its preceding gateways further evoking a sense of grandiose most becoming to a gentleman. Such flights of fancy were taken further at Cragside, Northumberland where Lord Armstrong's fortune accrued via engineering works enabled Richard Norman Shaw’s design that incorporated several vernacular period styles. Of traditional aristocracy, commented industrialist Hippolyte Taine in the 1860s: "let them govern, but let them be fit to govern."iv William Burges’ implementation of stairs behind a screens passage at Knightshayes Court, Devonshirev showed the patron's intention in seeking comparison to a medieval lord surveying his estate, dutifully dispensing hospitality to guests.
