  • The Canterbury Association
    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry.

  • The Eighteenth-Century Coin Hoard from Pillaton Hall, Staffs
    THE EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY COIN HOARD FROM PILLATON HALL, STAFFS. P. H. ROBINSON THERE are relatively few coin hoards from Staffordshire deposited daring the century following the Civil War which are known today and, to the writer's knowledge, one only has been published.1 Apart from this one and the Pillaton hoard, the subject of this note, the writer has been able to trace only three2 other finds of this date and these may be summarized as follows: NEWCASTLE-UNDER-LYME (1824) 'Four large gold pieces' of James I, Charles I (2), and James II together with 207 silver coins none of which were later in date than the reign of James II were found in ajar of 'brown colour and of simple form', with a capacity of about one pint. The first three of the gold coins were presumably unites. If the last was indeed of James II and was also of similar size to these, it may have been a two-guinea piece. Deposit: Uncertain date, probably within the reign of James II, although it is possible that, in spite of the absence of coins of William and Mary and William III, this was a hoard associated with the recoinage of 1695-7. Staffordshire Advertiser, 1 May 1824.3 MOSS PIT, STAFFORD (1864) An unstated number of guineas of Charles IT, James II, Anne, George I, and George II were found in a 'small, highly glazed delf pot' together with crown pieces and shillings of the same period. Deposit: Uncertain date, probably within the reign of George II.

  • 1 Introduction
    Assortative matching and persistent inequality: Evidence from the world's most exclusive marriage market Marc Goni~ 1 This Version September 2015 Abstract: Why do people marry similar others? Using data on peerage marriages in nineteenth century Britain, I find that search costs and segregation in the marriage market can generate sorting without resort to preferences. Peers typically courted in the London Season, a centralized marriage market taking place each year. As Queen Victoria went into mourning for her husband, the Season was interrupted (1861{63), raising search costs and reducing market segregation. I find that the cohort of women affected by the interruption were 80% more likely to marry a commoner. Sorting along landed wealth decreased by 50% within the peerage. My second contribution is to show that marital sorting can contribute to wealth inequality in the long-run. In 1870, landownership was more concentrated in counties where intermarriage had been lower since c.1500. Finally, I discuss how inequality delayed the provision of public schooling in England and Wales. JEL Codes: J12, C78, D63, N33. Keywords: Marital assortative matching, search costs, marriage market segmenta- tion, wealth inequality. It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice. 1 Introduction One of the hallmarks of modern marriage in OECD countries is that people tend to marry other people who have similar education, income, or social status (Chen et al. 2013). Marital assortative matching has important implications for inequality and income redistribution (Fernandez and Rogerson 2001, Fernandez et al.

  • Lord Cobham Interview Lord Cobham Interview
    WORC0808-COBHAM P6:Layout 1 25/9/09 16:07 Page 6 Lord Cobham interview Lord Cobham interview As befits one of the nation’s supreme achievements in eighteenth century architecture and landscaping, Hagley Hall has enjoyed a distinguished lineage of residents and patrons since it was built by George, the 1st Lord Lyttelton, among 350 acres of Worcestershire’s finest parkland. Now a distinctive venue for hire, everyone can share in the glamour of this regal stately home, writes Caroline Sargent. n the large, sunlit library of the hall, portraits and dedications of poets, writers, politicians and Ifilm stars sit alongside royal snapshots and family heirlooms that trace the Lyttelton family all the way back to the estate’s creator and his early ancestors. The wall over the hearth is dominated by a painting of the great eighteenth century poet Alexander Pope, who is thought to have been an early advisor on the landscaping of the park. Perhaps more poets should turn their hand to gardening as this is without doubt a powerfully romantic place that over the years has inspired many a scribe to put pen to paper. A wooden seat high on the hillside is dedicated to Milton and serves as the ultimate spot for quiet contemplation, offering pure and uninterrupted views of the Worcestershire plains boarded by the Malverns, the hills at Abberley and the Clee hills. Beyond the sweeping lawns there can be found intricate urns, fountains, bridges and follies that moved James Thomson to write his famous four part poem, ‘The Seasons’. Following his first visit to what would become the last of the great Palladian houses, the gothic writer Horace Walpole wrote to the 1st Lord Lyttelton exclaiming, ‘I wore out my eyes with gazing, my feet with climbing and my tongue and vocabulary with commending.’ The historical links stretch as far back as the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 when the old house at Hagley harboured the conspirators Stephen Lyttelton and Robert Wintour, who were subsequently traced and found to be in possession of an unusually large quantity of gunpowder and promptly executed.

  • Read the Case for Support Here
    Te Ūaka is the name gifted to Lyttelton Museum by Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke referring to a landing place, a place of arrival, or a berthing or a mooring place for a watercraft. Ōhinehou, the Lyttelton township nestled in Whakaraupō/Lyttelton Harbour on Te Pataka o Rakaihautū/Banks Peninsula was customarily used for such a purpose, so the name befits our Museum and the activities of our proud port town. Te Ūaka acknowledges the migration of people to this place, starting in the 14th century with Waitaha, then Ngāti Māmoe and, later, Ngāi Tahu, and then moving through to the British colonial era to more recent arrivals. We will tell their stories of exploration - how and why these people came to be here. Te Ūaka also means to become firm. Another cultural characteristic we will celebrate in Lyttelton’s Museum. The objects, stories, ideas and attitudes that have been brought and shaped here over the centuries have woven together with this special place to create an independent and proud community. For our brand, we have incorporated the T and U of our name to form a whare waka, a shelter for waka, just as the Museum provides shelter for taonga and their stories. Our Museum will acknowledge the achievements of the people of this harbour across many generations, and it will tackle some of the difficult stories that need to be told. Te Ūaka will explore Lyttelton’s past with the intent to inform Lyttelton’s future, and it will welcome today’s new arrivals with a unique insight into just what makes this port town so special.

    2 To CHARLES LYTTELTON 28 AUGUST 1734 OS he would indulge me a few more minutes, without forcing me so hastily to repeat how much I am My dearest Charles Your most sincere friend HOR. WALPOLE Tell me immediately that you have sealed my pardon. To CHARLES LYTTELTON, Thursday 7 August 1735 OS Printed from a photostat of the MS in the possession of Viscount Cobham, Hagley Hall, Stourbridge, Worcs. First printed in N&Q 1869, 4th ser., iii. 2 (misdated 'August 7, 1732'). Reprinted, Toynbee i. 1-2 (likewise misdated). The MS descended in the Lyttelton family to the present owner. Chelsea, August 7, 1735. My dearest Charles, THE pleasure that the interview, though so very short, that I had with you the night before you left town,1 gave me, has I think made your absence seem still more insupportable. That little snatch of conversation was so agreeable, that I am continually thinking how happy we should be in a much longer. I can reflect with great joy on the moments we passed together at Eton, and long to talk 'em over, as I think we could recollect a thousand passages, which were something above the common rate of schoolboy's diversions. I can remember with no small satisfaction that we did not pass our time in gloriously beating great clowns, who would patiently bear children's thumps for the collections, which I think some of our cotemporaries were so wise as to make for them afterwards. We had other amusements which I long to call to mind with you: when shall I be so happy? Let me know, my dear Charles, how far you are from Ragley2; I have some thoughts of going down thither this summer, and if it is not too far, I will spend a day with you in Worcestershire.3 You may assure yourself I am mightily put to it for news, when for want of 1.

  • Follies of Hagley Park 20110318.Pdf
    ACKNOWLEDGEMENT My thanks are given to Lord Cobham for allowing me access to Hagley Park. Compiling this paper without the experience of walking the whole area would certainly have led to different and probably wrong interpretations of many ideas. Tom Pagett 1994 Published by T.W. Pagett 1 INTRODUCTION The park today is a part of the Hagley Hall estate, which has been owned by the Lyttelton family since 1564. The 11th Viscount Cobham, John Lyttelton, is the current senior member of the family and lives in Hagley Hall. The area of the 18 century park is a little over 90ha (218 acres) and much of it is used for farming deer and it also has extensive woodland areas. A number of small streams rise in the park. One forms much of the southern boundary and is known as Gallows brook. Another stream traverses much of the centre of the park and was dammed in four places to create ponds, which were important features in the 18th century park design. Dr. T. Nash in his history of Worcestershire refers to the park at the time of Edward III 1327 - 77; the old hall, formerly on or near the cricket pitch, was said to be a hunting lodge at the time of its sale in 1564 and, again according to Nash, Sir Charles Lyttelton reimparked the area in 1694. The boundaries of the earlier parks have not been established but it is certain that they did not coincide with the present boundaries at all points. Early parks were the preserve of the lord of the manor and could be divided or not according to their use, which could include grazing, coppiced areas, large tree areas, lodges (some with moats), fish ponds and rabbit warrens.
