Thomas Hardwick Jnr. (1752-1827)
THOMAS HARDWICK JNR. (1752-1827) The name of Hardwick in the field of architecture was the most prominent name during the 19th century. From the late 18th century until 1892 the Hardwick Dynasty contributed some of the finest buildings in London and helped restore a great many too. Born in Brentford, greater London, to a prosperous master mason Thomas Hardwick Snr. (1725 -1798) who worked with the Adam brothers during the building of Syon House. Hardwick Jnr. underwent his training during the construction of the Somerset House and was tutored by William Chambers. He became a member of the Royal Academy and won the prestigious gold medal in architecture. Then came his travel to Europe with his close friend/rival Sir John Soane; together they visited Italy and France. Thomas became a notable church architect and the church of St Mary’s is his finest piece of work in London. The building is a prime example of Regency architecture. His other work included the restoration of St James, Piccadilly, St. Paul’s, Convent Garden and St Bartholomew-the-less, in Smithfield. He was also appointed Clerk of Works by King George III at both Hampton Court and Kew Palace. In his later years he became a tutor to none other than JMW Tuner whom he persuaded to concentrate more on painting rather than architecture! He had two sons, John Hardwick, whom became a famous magistrate in London, and also Philip (1792-1870) who would become the second architect in the Hardwick line and who took over his father’s office in 1825. -

Cavendish Square
DRAFT CHAPTER 7 Cavendish Square Peering over the railings and through the black trees into the garden of the Square, you see a few miserable governesses with wan-faced pupils wandering round and round it, and round the dreary grass-plot in the centre of which rises the statue of Lord Gaunt, who fought at Minden, in a three- tailed wig, and otherwise habited like a Roman Emperor. Gaunt House occupies nearly a side of the Square. The remaining three sides are composed of mansions that have passed away into dowagerism; – tall, dark houses, with window-frames of stone, or picked out of a lighter red. Little light seems to be behind those lean, comfortless casements now: and hospitality to have passed away from those doors as much as the laced lacqueys and link-boys of old times, who used to put out their torches in the blank iron extinguishers that still flank the lamps over the steps. Brass plates have penetrated into the square – Doctors, the Diddlesex Bank Western Branch – the English and European Reunion, &c. – it has a dreary look. Thackeray made little attempt to disguise Cavendish Square in Vanity Fair (1847–8). Dreariness could not be further from what had been intended by those who, more than a century earlier, had conceived the square as an enclave of private palaces and patrician grandeur. Nor, another century and more after Thackeray, is it likely to come to mind in what, braced between department stores and doctors’ consulting rooms, has become an oasis of smart offices, sleek subterranean parking and occasional lunch-hour sunbathing. -
The Battle of the Styles in Thomas Hardy's Jude the Obscure
The Battle of the Styles in Thomas Hardy’s Jude the Obscure: Perpendicular, God-seeking Gothicism vs. Horizontally-extended, Secular Classicism Ariyuki Kondo Thomas Hardy’s Architectural Career This paper intends to examine the ways in which the inner worlds of the characters in Thomas Hardy’s Jude the Obscure are depicted through the use of metaphors to reveal the antagonism between Victorian Gothic Revivalism and Victorian Classicism: the Battle of the Styles which Hardy himself had witnessed in his younger days. When Hardy, the son of a stonemason and local builder, first became interested in architecture, ecclesiastical architecture was one of the major areas of work in the building profession. Hardy first became involved in this aspect of architecture in 1856, when he started working for a Dorset-based ecclesiological architect, John Hicks, who designed and restored churches mainly in the Gothic Revival style. In April 1862 Hardy, carrying two letters of recommendation, moved to London. One of these two letters was addressed to Benjamin Ferrey (Pl. 1) and the other to Arthur Blomfield (Pl. 2). Hardy first visited Ferrey. Ferrey had been a pupil of the late Augustus Charles Pugin and knew Pugin’s son, Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin (Pl. 3) who died in 1852 at the age of 40, very well. Ferrey is mostly remembered today for his biography of the Pugins, published in 1861, not long before Hardy’s first visit to him. Ferrey must have been a very well-known architect to Hardy, for it was Ferrey who had designed the Town Hall in Dorchester. -

Easebourne – the Men and Times Remembered
West Sussex & the Great War Project www.westsussexpast.org.uk Easebourne – The Men and Times Remembered [Photograph by the author] By Christine Deadman © Christine Deadman and West Sussex County Council 1 West Sussex & the Great War Project www.westsussexpast.org.uk Summary This case study has two themes: 1) To provide an overview of Easebourne and some the people and notable institutions connected with it during the period of the First World War. 2) To provide a narrative about some of the men listed on the war memorial in the churchyard of St Mary, Easebourne; who they were, where they served and where they died. Introduction My interest to research this case study stems from wanting to achieve a better understanding of the local history of the parish and its people and how the First World War might have affected it. The parish has a long history with some notable buildings and people associated with it. Easebourne Parish and Community The parish of Easebourne lies to the north and east of Midhurst from which it is separated by the River Rother. It is a large parish of 4213 acres. It has a long history and amongst it its oldest buildings are the Parish church of St Mary and the remains of the adjoining Priory. The south eastern part of the parish is occupied by the 600 acre Cowdray Park containing what are now the Cowdray Ruins. In its day the house at Cowdray was considered one of the most magnificent in England and was visited by Kings Henry VIII and Edward VI.1 In 1911 the population of the parish was 1641 persons including approximately 90 “inmates” and staff at the Midhurst Union Workhouse. -

“It Was the Heart of the Town”: Two Public Monuments, Cultural Memory and Oral Histories in Walkden and Hastings
“It was the heart of the town”: two public monuments, cultural memory and oral histories in Walkden and Hastings Anthony McIntosh PhD January 2014 The University of Brighton Abstract The importance of the historic built environment to local communities and its ability to foster a sense of place is an issue at the heart of current heritage impact research. This thesis is primarily concerned with how public monuments, as a focus for the localisation of memories and narratives, can contribute to the development of social capital, sense of place, and a sense of community identity. As case studies, the thesis uses two large public monuments significant to the cultural heritage and development of two towns: the Countess of Ellesmere Memorial, Walkden, Greater Manchester, and the Prince Albert Memorial Clock Tower, Hastings, East Sussex. The two monuments were erected on particular sites significant to the history of the towns, sites chosen for their resonance with the development and growth of the local communities. The location of both monuments has been the cause of much controversy and public debate for over a century and their position as objects of local heritage is perhaps as important now as when they were unveiled. As its primary source of data the research study uses oral history interviews in order to analyse how the two monuments are remembered and experienced through accounts of public ceremonials, festivities, and rituals, through specific social norms that have originated in local culture and tradition, and, through the routine activities of everyday life. The analysis of the oral history interviews demonstrates how, through the shaping of kinship and personal narratives, these two public monuments provided a spatial and temporal location for the development of public memory and an associated development of social capital and sense of place.
