INTRODUCTION 1.1 Site summary and context of the plan The Jewel Tower is a three storey building lying opposite the Houses of Parliament in the heart of London. It was built around 1365 to house Edward III’s personal treasure as part of the palace at Westminster, and is one of the few buildings from this complex to survive today. In the 17th century, the Jewel Tower became the record office for the Houses of Lords and from 1869, it was the home of the Weights and Measures office, which set standards used across the British Empire.

Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis.' Signature: Date: 12/05/2015 3 Figure 1: Title Page of R. Gosling, The Laws of Honour, or A Compendious Account of the Ancient Derivation of All Titles, Dignities, Offices, &c as well as Temporal, Civil or Military (1714). This focus on honour and title perhaps represents our typical view of the peerage during the ‘long eighteenth century’. 4 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my two supervisors, Julian Hoppit and Jason Peacey, for their indispensable guidance and support. David Hayton and Perry Gauci kindly agreed to examine the thesis, and I am grateful for their advice and ideas. A number of archivists and librarians have been particularly helpful in providing access to archival sources, but those of the Parliamentary Archives require special thanks in providing me with so many documents detailing the activity of the House of Lords. I would also like to record my appreciation for the feedback on several parts of this thesis provided by the participants of the Bath Spa Conference ‘George I—300 Years on’, the Liverpool Conference ‘300 Years of Hanoverian Monarchy’, the Parliaments, Politics and People Seminar at the IHR, and the anonymous reviewers of the Journal of British Studies. The Arts and Humanities Research Council and UCL provided me with funds to pursue this thesis, for which I am very grateful.

  • English Women and the Late-Nineteenth Century Open Space Movement
    English Women and the Late-Nineteenth Century Open Space Movement Robyn M. Curtis August 2016 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Australian National University Thesis Certification I declare that this thesis, submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the award of Doctor of Philosophy, in the School of History at the Australian National University, is wholly my own original work unless otherwise referenced or acknowledged and has not been submitted for qualifications at any other academic institution. Robyn M. Curtis Date …………………… ………………… Abstract During the second half of the nineteenth century, England became the most industrialised and urbanised nation on earth. An expanding population and growing manufacturing drove development on any available space. Yet this same period saw the origins of a movement that would lead to the preservation and creation of green open spaces across the country. Beginning in 1865, social reforming groups sought to stop the sale and development of open spaces near metropolitan centres. Over the next thirty years, new national organisations worked to protect and develop a variety of open spaces around the country. In the process, participants challenged traditional land ownership, class obligations and gender roles. There has been very little scholarship examining the work of the open space organisations; nor has there been any previous analysis of the specific membership demographics of these important groups. This thesis documents and examines the four organisations that formed the heart of the open space movement (the Commons Preservation Society, the Kyrle Society, the Metropolitan Public Gardens Association and the National Trust). It demonstrates connections between philanthropy, gender and space that have not been explored previously.

    The Houses of Parliament The British Parliament sits in the Building which is called the Palace of Westminster. It’s also called the Houses of Parliament because there are two Houses: the House of Lords and the House of Commons. You can go in the buildings , if you make arrangement. The palace lies on the north bank of the River Thames in the London borough of the City of Westminster, close to other government buildings in Whitehall. The Palace dates from medieval times. On November 4, 1605, a man called Guy Fawkes was found in a Palace cellar. He was about to set fire to some barrels of gunpowder. His capture is celebrated with bonfires and fireworks every year on November 5. In 1834, a fire destroyed most of the old Palace. Sir Charles Barry rebuilt it in a medieval style called Gothic. Jewel Tower The Jewel Tower in London is one of only two surviving sections of the medieval royal Palace of Westminster. It was built in approximately 1365 to house the treasures of Edward III and its alternative name was the "King's Privy Wardrobe". Westminster Hall Westminster Hall, the oldest existing part of the Palace of Westminster, was erected in 1097. The Hall has a huge wooden roof decorated with carved George IV coronation banquet angels. If has been used for Royal banquets and State trials.
