I travelled across the country meeting many different people, none of whom had ever met me before, yet who invariably fetched me from the local station, drove me many miles, welcomed me into their homes and were extremely hospitable. I have encountered many people who generously gave up their valuable time and allowed, indeed, encouraged me to ask endless grace-and-favour-related questions. I was also permitted to record personal reminiscences in order that future generations may benefit from their oral history. My grateful thanks. Thanks are also due to Dennis McGuinnes who suggested this work; to Sylvia McGuinnes, for her encouragement and advice; to David Best, Honorary Treasurer of the Royal Tennis Court at Hampton Court Palace, for supplying me with key names and dates; to Clare Murphy for her infinite patience and for editing the text; to Polly Wharram and Jackie Amis for their supreme research skills; to Caroline Catford for retrieving relevant historic files; to Ian Franklin for making people aware about my research and for his enthusiasm for the project; to Pierre Berthou, Chris Stevens, Sebastian Edwards, Jenny Band, Pat Sweeny, Les and Gill Strudwick, Terry Gough, Denis Mulliner, Derek Fitzsimmonds and Rachel Kennedy. Also to the many, too numerous to mention, who have kindly checked entries, including their own. It has truly been a team effort. Thanks also to the staff at the Public Record Office (now the National Archives) in Kew; at the Heinz Archive and Library, National Portrait Gallery; the Fawcett Library; the British Library, including the Newspaper Library, and the Oriental and India Office Collections; the Victoria & Albert Museum; Twickenham Local History Room; Richmond Library; the Imperial War Museum; the Metropolitan Police Archive; the North Kingston Centre; the Institute of Historical Research; and the Historical Manuscripts Commission. The Curatorial Department has recently accumulated a large archive of photographs, letters and diaries relating to grace-and-favour residents at Hampton Court. Grateful thanks are due to all those who have either donated or loaned material to Historic Royal Palaces. Finally, to my mother for acting as my unofficial ‘research assistant’. To all those who have helped and encouraged me in any way during the course of my research whom I have not mentioned, my deep appreciation. 4 Preface In his seminal work, The History of Hampton Court Palace, vol III (1891), the historian and former palace resident, Ernest Law, included an appendix listing the occupants of apartments in the palace from 1760 until 1891. It gave the reader a brief biographical insight into the recipients of royal warrants, outlining the type of person given an apartment and the professions and backgrounds from which they were drawn. Royalty, members of the aristocracy, those with military connections, diplomats, scientists, explorers and politicians all lived in the palace. These residents became the lifeblood of the building over a period of almost three centuries. In 1931 Margaret Maude, probably a relative of Lady Maude who lived in the palace from 1920 to 1942, published a pamphlet which updated Law’s list. In 1968 this was updated again by Maj-Gen Sir Charles Harvey, Chief Steward of the palace and himself a resident from 1970 to 1983. The list was last revised by Ian Gray, Superintendent of the Palace from 1981 to 1991, another resident. This current work was suggested by Dennis McGuinnes, Acting Palace Director, 1997–2001, and aims to produce a more comprehensive story to take the palace’s history into the 21st century. The intervening years of research have provided immeasurable data. In addition to updating the publication, it was decided to build upon the information it contained – in particular, to expand the entries of those women listed under the careers of illustrious husbands, to whom they generally owed their apartment. In omitting their biographies we were not only doing them a great disservice but, more importantly, providing an incomplete history. Many were talented and distinguished in their own right, were titled and pursued successful careers or interests. Another primary intention was to provide more than the limited information formerly available on 20th-century grace-and-favour residents. The few surviving residents were consulted, as well as relatives and acquaintances; information was gathered from palace visitors and personal reminiscences were recorded and transcribed to gain an insight into a world of privilege and royal service. This has become an important archive of oral history of an almost-vanished population living in a royal palace. It has also now been possible to include official resident warrant-holders such as the keepers of the Royal Tennis Court or the Superintendent of the Gardens. However, it has not been viable to include all the domestic and other staff who lived in the palace over the years, although many names found in the 19th-century citizen censuses are included for the first time. Nor has detailed reference been made to the great many soldiers, and later police, who were stationed in the Barrack Block and on Hampton Court Green. All the estate houses have been incorporated and the buildings inhabited by palace employees, such as those occupied by the gardening staff. Material has been drawn from Peter Gaunt’s unpublished research (commissioned by Historic Royal Palaces) into the history of William III’s apartments at Hampton Court, which covers the period 1689–1986. In addition, information has been gathered from the meticulous typed and handwritten notes made by the late local historian, Gerald Heath, who spent many years undertaking personal research at the Public Record Office (now the National Archives) in Kew. For the first time, material was gathered from census returns of the 19th century, including details of domestic servants living in the palace. The limitations and possible inaccuracies of this information are acknowledged, such as the spelling of names and interpretation of handwriting. However, it was not always feasible to verify the exact facts and dates of all the entries, as many Public Record Office files for the 20th century remain closed. Access was granted to many other untapped sources, including the registers of births and marriages in the Chapel Royal at Hampton Court, 1889–1938, and handwritten ledgers dating variously from 1870 until the 1970s and relating to the gardening staff. Many former Property Services Agency files document residents from the 1940s and those recently opened files at the Public Record Office. It is important to note that the suites of rooms were renumbered several times over the centuries, using both roman and arabic numerals. Many rooms were also assigned to apartments that were at some point reduced or expanded in size. For the purpose of this book, the current apartment numbers appear first, followed by the suite numbers used in previous publications. Wherever possible, the year in which residents moved into their apartment has been included next to their name. This may not necessarily be the year in which they were granted the apartment by royal warrant. Often, the recipient was obliged to wait months or even years before they could move in if the apartment was in need of refurbishment. Similarly, where possible the date of their resignation of the warrant, or of their death, has been included. 5 In preparing this survey, a wealth of new material illustrating the private lives of Hampton Court’s diverse residents has been assembled. This will form the basis of a new archive held by the Curatorial Department, Hampton Court Palace. Inevitably, such a publication relies on much secondary information and there will always be omissions or inaccuracies. If you have additional information on any of the entries, we would be very pleased to hear from you.

  • DATES of TRIALS Until October 1775, and Again from December 1816
    DATES OF TRIALS Until October 1775, and again from December 1816, the printed Proceedings provide both the start and the end dates of each sessions. Until the 1750s, both the Gentleman’s and (especially) the London Magazine scrupulously noted the end dates of sessions, dates of subsequent Recorder’s Reports, and days of execution. From December 1775 to October 1816, I have derived the end dates of each sessions from newspaper accounts of the trials. Trials at the Old Bailey usually began on a Wednesday. And, of course, no trials were held on Sundays. ***** NAMES & ALIASES I have silently corrected obvious misspellings in the Proceedings (as will be apparent to users who hyper-link through to the trial account at the OBPO), particularly where those misspellings are confirmed in supporting documents. I have also regularized spellings where there may be inconsistencies at different appearances points in the OBPO. In instances where I have made a more radical change in the convict’s name, I have provided a documentary reference to justify the more marked discrepancy between the name used here and that which appears in the Proceedings. ***** AGE The printed Proceedings almost invariably provide the age of each Old Bailey convict from December 1790 onwards. From 1791 onwards, the Home Office’s “Criminal Registers” for London and Middlesex (HO 26) do so as well. However, no volumes in this series exist for 1799 and 1800, and those for 1828-33 inclusive (HO 26/35-39) omit the ages of the convicts. I have not comprehensively compared the ages reported in HO 26 with those given in the Proceedings, and it is not impossible that there are discrepancies between the two.
