SIR THOMAS MYDDELTON (1550-1631), Lord Mayor of London. (From the Portrait at Rothamsted.) The Myddelton and Wittewronge Families BY JOHN WOLFE LYDEKKER, M.A., F.R.Hist.S. MONG the portraits at Rothamsted, Harpenden, is a painting of Sir Thomas Myddelton, brother AL of the celebrated Sir Hugh Myddelton, who constructed the " New River " water supply from Hertfordshire to London in the early years of the seventeenth century. It is the purpose of these notes to trace the alliance between this ancient Welsh family and the Flemish family of Wittewronge, who became lords of the manor of Rothamsted. The Myddelton family of Denbigh was one of the oldest in Wales. It claimed descent from one Ririd ap Blaidd (or " the wolf "), a Welsh chieftain, who flourished in the twelfth century. He is said to have married his cousin, the grand-daughter of Blaidd Rhudd (or " the bloody wolf "), Lord of Gest, Penmorva. Ririd's descendant, Ririd, ap David, ap Blaidd, married Cilicia, daughter and heir of Sir Alexander Myddelton, Governor of Montgomery Castle. His son, Ririd ap Blaidd, assumed his mother's name of Myddelton, and his grandson, David Myddelton, of Denbigh, became Receiver-General of North Wales in the reign of Edward IV.1 This David married Elyn, daughter of Sir John Done of Utkington, Cheshire having (it is said) slain her first husband (and kinsman), Richard Done of Croton, as the newly-wedded couple were leaving the church after their marriage.

A selected group also worked with Corinne and Nic to create a commissioned large-scale hanging installation for the school reception area, inspired by the outcomes of the class workshops. Pupils worked as artists – researching the history of Hugh Myddelton and experimenting with processes, materials and ideas Year 1 visited Thomas Heatherwick’s hanging sculpture at the Wellcome Trust Classes learnt about Hugh Myddelton’s project to transfer clean water from the River Lea in Hertfordshire into the New River in Islington Children made sculptures from food, clay and wax. They drew fish from direct observation and experimented with printmaking and watercolours. Some classes made casts of whelks and mussels which formed part of the final sculpture Corinne and Nic used the childrens’ ideas in the workshops to design the hanging sculpture, made by casting real fish and suspending them from the ceiling The title ‘A New River’s End’ was chosen by

  • The New River Path – a Walk Linking Hertford with Islington
    The New River Path – a walk linking Hertford with Islington The Route The New River is neither new nor a river. It is a water supply aqueduct, completed in 1613, to bring drinking water from Hertfordshire to North London. Since 1992, Thames Water has worked with local people and partners to create a 45 km [28 mile] long-distance footpath that follows the course of the New River, linking the inner city to the open countryside. The route follows, wherever possible, the historic water channel, as well as some straightened and piped sections between the New River’s starting point near Hertford to its original end in Islington. The route is waymarked throughout its length and all signs display the NR Path logo. Hertfordshire Section: 22 km (14 miles) The Path starts at New Gauge, Hertford, and traverses a variety of attractive landscapes ranging from the expansive Lee Valley corridor to more enclosed sections through Hoddesdon and parts of Broxbourne, before bridging over the M25 near Theobald’s Park; this section takes 6-8 hours to walk. London Section: 18 km (11 miles) From the M25 the River flows through a series of ever changing scenes, ranging from the enclosed built-up urban corridor to sections of a more open character. This route section ends at the ‘Castle’, Stoke Newington, and takes 5-7 hours to walk. Heritage Section: 5 km (3 miles) Beyond the ‘Castle’, the Path runs through open spaces and on-street to New River Head. The route follows the historic, but now truncated. New River course although some sections of the original water channel are still evident; it takes 1-2 hours to complete.
