A ROYALIST FAMILY'S EXPERIENCE OF THE CIVIL WAR GILES DRAKE-BROCKMAN A brief note in the 1931 volume ofArchaeologia Cantiana describes how a collection of papers belonging to the Brockman family of Beachborough, Newington by Hythe, had come to light and been presented to the British Library-.1 Tlie most illustrious member of this family was Sir William Brockman (1595-1654). Sir William had attended the Middle Temple in London (although it is not known if he qualified as a lawyer) and went on to hold a significant position in county society in Kent including being appointed Sheriff in 1642 (but see below). However he is best known for the noble part he played on the Royalist side in the Battle of Maidstone in 1648. In fact. Sir William's involvement in hostilities against Parliament had begun much earlier, soon after the Civil War broke out. The king had raised his standard at Nottingham and formally declared war against the Parliamentarians on 22 August 1642. The first b a t t l e took place at Edgehill in September 1642 with the Royalists gaining victory. However, when the king's anny advanced on London it was met by a large defence force and in mid-November the king withdrew to Oxford. It was at this point that Brockman endeavoured to raise a rebellion against Parliament in Kent. He was sent a commission of array by the king at Oxford while the earl of Tlianet was despatched with a regiment through Sussex to support Mm.

A complex web of personal associations and informal alliances underpinned politics and governance in Tudor England; but whereas a great deal is now understood about relations between both the political elite and the organs of government at the centre of affairs, many questions still remain unanswered about how networks of political actors functioned at a provincial and neighbourhood level, and how these networks kept in touch with one another, central government and the court.

The one was that most clear, amiable and cheerful countenance towards all learning and virtue, which on every side most brightly from your Royal person appearing, hath so inflamed and encouraged, not only me, to the love and admiration thereof, but all such others also, your Grace’s loyal subjects...that we think no travail too great, whereby we are in hope both to profit our Country, and to please so noble and loving a Princess...The other was that earnest and fervent desire that I have, and a long time have had, to show myself (by yielding some fruit of painful diligence) a thankful subject to so virtuous a Sovereign, and a fruitful member of so good a commonwealth’..

  • The Church of All Saints Eastchurch in Shepey Robertson
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society ( 374 ) THE OHUBOH OE ALL SAINTS, EASTOHUBCH IN SHEPEY. BY CANON SOOTT ROBERTSON. THE Church of All Saints at Eastchurch has especial interest for antiquaries and students of architecture, because the date of its erection is known. During the ninth year of King Henry VI,* in . November 1431, the chief parishioner, William Cheyne, esquire, of Shirland, obtained the King's license (needful to override the law of mortmain) to give three roods of land, to the Patronsf of East- church Eectory, in order that a new parish church might thereon be built. The soil of Shepey, being London clay, affords no enduring foundation for any edifice. Houses and churches erected on it are in continual peril from the subsidence of the soil; their walls crack in all directions, unless artificial foundations are deeply and solidly laid before any building is commenced. The royal license granted to William Cheyne mentions the fact that the old church at East- church had gone to ruin " by reason of the sudden weakness of the foundation." Consequently, before the Abbot of Boxley began to build a new church, upon the fresh site given by "William Cheyne, he caused deep and solid foundations of chalk to be laid. Wherever a wall was to stand, a wide trench was dug, some feet deep, and it was filled with solid blocks of chalk, brought from the mainland of Kent; thus firm foundations were obtained. Still further to support the walls, diagonal buttresses were constructed at every angle of the building; and three porches (north, south, and west) were erected, with diagonal buttresses at each of their angles; affording much additional support to the walls and to the western tower.

  • Planning Application
    15 SE/07/1050 - Planning Application - Change of use from conference centre to single private dwelling house as supported by statement on proposed uses and letter concerning commercial viability received 7 December 2007, Hengrave Hall, Hengrave, Bury St Edmunds for David Harris (date registered 5th July 2007) Recommendation: Approve. Development Control Case Officer: Stephen Burgess: Tel: (01284) 757345 THE SITE: This application relates to Hengrave Hall, a grade Ilisted building which dates from the mid 16~~century, originally occupied by Sir Thomas Kitson, a merchant. A north-east wing was added in the lgth century, and this was further extended in the 1950's. It is within the Hengrave conservation area but outside of the Housing Settlement Boundary. The Hall is the principal building within a larger estate which comprises several other ancillary buildings, some occupied as dwellings, and an expanse of parkland. Vehicular access to the estate is gained via two accesses from the AllOl, the principal gated access and a secondary access. The estate was occupied as a private residence until 1952 when it became a boarding school and convent. In 1974 planning consent was obtained to change the use to Conference Centre which continued as its use until 2006 when purchased by the current owner.

During the Civil Wars there were no regimental colours as such, each company of an infantry regiment having its own. A full strength regiment, therefore, might have as many as ten, one each for the colonel's company, lieutenant-colonel's company, major's company, first, second, third captain's company etc. All the standards of the regiment were of the same basic colour, with a system of differencing which followed one of three patterns, as follows. In most cases the colonel's colour was a plain standard in the regimental colour (B1), sometimes with 2 a motto (A1). All the rest, however, had in their top left hand corner a canton with a cross of St. George in red on white; lieutenant-colonels' colours bore this canton and no other device. In the system most commonly followed by both sides (pattern 1) the major's colour had a 'flame' or 'stream blazant' emerging from the bottom right hand corner of the St. George (A3), while the first captain's company bore one device, the second captain's two devices, and so on for as many colours as there were companies.

  • Dorset Record Society Publications for Sale, 2016 Vol. 18 Three Tudor
    Dorset Record Society Publications for Sale, 2016 Vol. 18 Three Tudor Surveys, 1584-1684, edited by June Palmer The Dorset manors of Lytchett Minster, Durweston cum Knighton and Okeford Fitzpaine were all owned by Sir Thomas Kitson of Hengrave, Suffolk, in the late sixteenth century. This volume brings together the surveys of the manors that he commissioned and which were later dispersed to archives in Dorset, Suffolk and Norfolk. The surveys reflect the differences between the three East Dorset manors and how the underlying geology influenced local farming: the dispersed settlements on the heath of Lytchett Minster, the open fields and downland sheep grazing at Durweston cum Knighton and the inter-locked enclosed fields at Okeford Fitzpaine. A broad ranging introduction highlights the key themes of the surveys: inclosure of common land, the techniques of sixteenth century surveying and the management of the Kitson family estates. In part this is achieved through comparison with later estate documents and maps which allow much of the written surveys to be plotted and individual pieces of land to be identified. The texts are presented in translation from Latin, with a series of maps, colour plates and a comprehensive index. The volume has a hard cover and coloured dust jacket. Vol. 17 The Sherborne Almshouse Register, 1437-1866, edited by Ann Clark. Hardback with jacket. £12.50. The register includes foundation and endowment documents, surveys of lands, governance decisions and bequests from benefactors. In addition, two registers were compiled listing elections of brethren and admissions of over eight hundred almspeople from 1582 till the 1860s many of which record their possessions.
