    Kemble Church Before 1876 and the Restoration: As seen in images by John Buckler, HE Relton, Henry Taunt and an Anonymous 19thc Watercolourist. John Buckler 1809 In 1809 John Buckler (1770-1851) painted a watercolour of the church from the SE which is in the collection of the Wiltshire Museum in Devizes. Shortly after 1800 John Buckler was commissioned by Richard Colt Hoare of Stourhead to produce ten volumes of drawings of churches and other historic buildings in Wiltshire. He painted all the Wiltshire churches and there are paintings of Poole Keynes, Somerford Keynes and Shorncote which were then in Wiltshire. This is the earliest image of the church. There are three main differences with the church today. Firstly, the tower windows have changed. This is the result of repairs to the spire and tower after it was damaged by lightning in 1823. The squared off eastern lancet window and the metal bracing are there today and were there in the print by HE Relton in 1843. Secondly, the windows in the Chancel, especially the east window, appear to be Perpendicular in style like those in the Ewen Aisle, however in the watercolour of the interior makes the window look earlier of the Decorated Style. In the restoration of 1876-7 they were replaced in the Early English style. Finally, the porch looks to be a bit askew. This will be obvious in the prints by Relton. H. E. Relton 1843 These two prints are from ‘Sketches of Churches, with Short Descriptions’ by H. E. Relton; London (1843). He visited quite a few churches in Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and Berkshire and he wrote a few notes on each of the churches.

  • SPATIAL CHANGES in an OXFORD PUBLIC ASYLUM YUXIN PENG1 Introduction Existing Anthropological Literature on Mental Health in Publ
    SPATIAL CHANGES IN AN OXFORD PUBLIC ASYLUM YUXIN PENG1 Abstract This article examines spatial changes at Littlemore hospital in Oxford between 1846 and 1956, the period since its foundation as a Victorian public asylum to the very last years before a radical psychiatric reform was implemented. I propose to see the asylum and later hospital spaces of Littlemore as being bodily sensed and co-productive with social processes. Specifically, I discuss the entanglement of these spaces with three factors: (panoptical) control, considerations of cost, and residents’ comfort. With emphases on residents’ bodily well-being and experiences, I aim to present a dynamic account of this part of the history of institutionalized mental health. Introduction Existing anthropological literature on mental health in public institutions has a strong interest in power. As noted by Lorna Rhodes in her ethnography of maximum-security prisons in the USA, although she does not see her project as ‘an application of Foucault to prisons’, she has found it impossible not to address the distinction between reason and madness and the phenomenon of panoptical observation (Rhodes 2004: 15). Regarding the specificity of her research topic, which is about severe mental health in the most secure prisons in America, an orientation towards these themes is both reasonable and suitable. Rhodes’ later work on psychiatric citizenship looks at it from the inmate’s perspective. By analysing the interviews, letters, poems, and drawings she obtained from Sam, an inmate whose mental health worsened in this supermax prison, Rhodes discusses how psychiatric citizenship is formed in a strictly controlled institutional setting by one’s attachment to a psychological report made on one’s case, which also led Sam to a new way of making sense of his own history (Rhodes 2010).

The Architecture of Joseph Michael Gandy (1771-1843) and Sir John Soane (1753-1837): An Exploration Into the Masonic and Occult Imagination of the Late Enlightenment Abstract In examining select works of English architects Joseph Michael Gandy and Sir John Soane, this dissertation is intended to bring to light several important parallels between architectural theory and freemasonry during the late Enlightenment. Both architects developed architectural theories regarding the universal origins of architecture in an attempt to establish order as well as transcend the emerging historicism of the early nineteenth century. There are strong parallels between Soane's use of architectural narrative and his discussion of architectural 'model' in relation to Gandy's understanding of 'trans-historical' architecture. The primary textual sources discussed in this thesis include Soane's Lectures on Architecture, delivered at the Royal Academy from 1809 to 1836, and Gandy's unpublished treatise entitled the Art, Philosophy, and Science of Architecture, circa 1826.

  • Chapter Eight
    CHAPTER VIII A GROWING DIVISION OF INTERESTS 1. The Museum at Oxford In many ways Pitt Rivers' donation of his collection to Oxford represented a disenchantment with the progress of anthropology and his place in it. He had first given up direct control of his collection in 1874, when his own interests had begun to devolve upon field investigations. Throughout the next few years, while he gave occasional attention to his collection and its series, his main preoccupation had been with the development of excavation techniques and the investigation of a number of major monuments in Sussex and elsewhere in the south of England. Beginning in 1880, his attentions had shifted to sites at his Wiltshire estate and to preliminary work on behalf of Lubbock's Ancient Monuments Bill. His collection had become, as a result, something of a burden, and while he continued to have hopes for it, he was happy to pass on his responsibilities on to someone else. Oxford had not been his first choice, but from his point of view, it was apparently the only choice readily available. If anything was to be done with the collection, however, it was for the University to take the initiative. Oxford, in many ways, was ill prepared to accept Pitt Rivers' gift. Scientific studies had established only a tentative footing in the University, and many, including Pitt Rivers, must have doubted whether a museum devoted to a subject so often controversial as anthropology would ever be accepted by the more conservative elements there. Opposition to the sciences continued to be widespread, with leading figures of the university, such as W.A.

E. MILLARD, D.D. f J ïntrotmctíom THE Family of Buckler is of Norman origin, from Rouen and its vicinity, where the name is preserved in Ecclesiastical Records of early date. The surname was one easily Anglicised, and variously spelt Bucler, Boclar, Bokeler, Bukeler, Boucler, Buckler, and in English signifies a shield. The Bucklers appear to have settled in Hampshire soon after the Norman Conquest, and subsequently in Dorsetshire, where they were located at the time of the Heralds' Visitations in 1565 and 1623, about which period a younger branch was firmly established at Warminster in the county of Wilts. In a beautiful valley on the banks of the Beaulieu river or Boldre Water is Buckler's hard, a populous village, principally inhabited by workmen employed in shipbuilding. Many frigates and men-of-war have been built there, the situation being very convenient for the purpose, and the tide forming a fine bay at high water. The word hard signifies a causeway made upon the mud for the purpose of landing. ('Beauties of England and Wales.')
