  • Fulham Doctors of the Past *
    FULHAM DOCTORS OF THE PAST * by A. L. WYMAN ORIGINALLY the manor of Fulham comprised both Fulham and Hammersmith but even early in the seventeenth century there was a Fulham side and a Hammersmith side, and the accounts were rendered separately. It was a village near London, situated on the Thames where the river was fordable and the gravelly soil suitable for an early settlement. This was the town where the church was built and the ferry plied to Putney. There were hamlets at Parsons Green and Walham Green and smaller ones at North End and Sands End. It was pleasant enough and convenient enough for London to attract the upper classes. The population was about 730 in the time ofEdward VI (1547/8) and over 2,000 towards the end ofthe seventeenth century. This would be in a population in England of about four million and in London of between 100,000-200,000 (1600). In Roque's map of 1813 we find much the same general pattern. The community was primarily a rural one, with employment on the land as husbandmen, gardeners, labourers, or on the river as fisherman and watermen. As late as 1801 the census shows more people engaged in agricultural pursuits than in trade. When we come to the doctors it is necessary to make a broad distinction between those who are associated with Fulham because they lived or died there and those who worked there. Some of the former were illustrious but for the most part their main activities were elsewhere and they did not provide any kind of medical service to the local inhabitants, as did the more obscure practitioners who lived and worked in the parish.

  • The Moneyers of the Tower of London and William Lord Hastings in 1472
    The Moneyers of the Tower of London and William Lord Hastings in 1472 JESSICA FREEMAN In the summer of 1472 Edward IV, who had only recently regained his throne, felt secure enough to call his first Parliament for four years, to meet at Westminster on 6 October.1 Yet, judging by the parliamentary indenture for Middlesex, there was perhaps a lingering doubt as to the ‘correct’, that is Yorkist, composition of the forthcoming Parliament. For at this particular county election, held at Stone Cross in the Strand on Thursday 27 August, there was, among the parliamentary attestors, a group of moneyers, or coiners to use the term they themselves preferred. They worked at the royal mint in the Tower of London, but lived in and around Shoreditch, just to the north of London and then a Middlesex parish. Parliamentary attestors were the forty shilling freeholders who were entitled to attend the hustings and elect the two knights to represent them in the House of Commons, and who then attested to the validity of the election through an indenture returned into Chancery. That there were moneyers among these attestors was unusual because, as crown servants, those working at the Tower were freed from the burden of service as jurors at the county court, and are thus seldom found attending the hustings. But on this occasion, out of a total of forty-eight known attestors, eleven men (23%) can be identified as moneyers.2 The appearance of moneyers at this specific election can probably be explained by the political situation, which provides an interesting insight into the relations that existed between moneyers, the master-worker of the Mint, and the king.

    Sharp/Reece Ancestry 40 Generations to Charlemagne Generation No. 1 1. Mary Virginia Sharp, born August 31, 1895 in Roadstown, NJ; died September 1984 in Carlisle, PA. She was the daughter of 2. Ezra Bradway* Sharp and 3. Ruth Ella Reece. She married (1) Frank E.* Masland II 1918 in Trinity United Methodist Church, Mullica Hill, NJ. He was born December 08, 1895 in Philadelphia, PA, and died July 30, 1994 in Carlisle, PA. He was the son of Frank Elmer Masland and Mary Esther Gossler. More About Mary Virginia Sharp: Burial: Carlisle, PA Notes for Frank E.* Masland II: [Master File.ftw] Masland preserved jobs and nature By John Hilton Sentinel Reporter Frank E. Masland Jr. was an adventurer, an astute businessman, a devoted husband and father and a noted philanthropist. But most of all, he was squarely focused on the success of C.H. Masland & Sons in Carlisle. Frank Masland in 1948 Masland was the driving force behind the company for 52 years, helping establish it as a national player in the carpet business and a major employer in Cumberland County. "He didn't let anything interfere with the success of the business," says his son, Frank E. "Mike" Masland III of Carlisle. Born Dec. 8, 1895, in Philadelphia, Masland was one of four sons of the late Frank E. and Mary Esther Gossler Masland. He became acquainted with Carlisle when he attended Dickinson College. His college days, however, were interrupted by World War I, and Masland was a Navy ensign "subchaser" seeking out German U-boats, his son says.

  • Zoffany and the Conversation Piece
    The Conversation Piece • In the eighteenth century aristocratic society dedicated itself to pleasure. It was permissive and gossiped about all forms of love and hardly anything shocked them except, perhaps, for a wealthy woman to marry a lower-class man. The conversation piece became popular between about 1720 and 1780 as a symbol of the aristocratic life. It shows a group in conversation often in the open. The group is formally dressed yet relaxed and the environment they are in is a natural setting but rigidly presented. • The essential requirement of an eighteenth century conversation piece is that ‘it should be the representation of two or more persons in a state of dramatic or psychological relation to each other’. • Where did the idea of the conversation piece first arise? Notes The Conversation Piece • Wikipedia (modified): The conversation piece was influenced by 17th century portraiture in the Low Countries including merrymaking companies and garden parties painted by artists such as Dirck Hals and David Vinckbooms. In addition, representations of elegant companies and balls by Hieronymus Janssens and the works of Peter Paul Rubens, in particular his Garden of Love (Prado Museum), gave an impetus and direction to the development of the genre. In this last work, Rubens showed how a garden could be used as a setting for amorous dalliance and courtship. • In the Low Countries many group portraits were painted, both of family groups and groups such as Governors or Regents of institutions, or militia officers. Frans Hals, Rembrandt and other artists had adopted a variety of poses to liven up the group portrait, for example the famous Night Watch.
