Some pieces are heavy and will cause serious injury if disturbed. Please do not touch any sculptures even if they look robust. • Some sculptures are fragile or have sharp edges so again please do not touch. Any damage caused will be charged to those people responsible. • Please keep children under supervision at all times. • Some areas of the garden have rough paths and changes in levels. Please take care and follow the marked route. 2 Foreword Welcome to the 2014 Doddington Sculpture Exhibition, bigger, and we hope better, than 2012. We have over 400 sculptures by more than eighty sculptors from across the UK and Europe. Curator David Waghorne has arranged the outdoor pieces to take full advantage of the back drop of Doddington Hall and our large and varied gardens. New for this year are two indoor venues with some spectacular and fragile pieces. Almost every piece is for sale. If you buy a sculpture you are not only buying something that will bring you enjoyment for years to come, but you are also helping to support the career of the sculptor. Doddington Hall has made its own contribution to the exhibition by building a 10m stone pyramid at the end of the avenue. We hope you can make time to enjoy the 1000m walk to see it up close. We thank all our sponsors, and in particular our lead sponsor Brewin Dolphin, for their very generous support of our exhibition. Claire and James Birch www.doddingtonhall.com 3 DoddingtonThe Gardens For many visitors to Doddington, the gardens are as interesting as the hall itself. Faithful to the original Elizabethan layout, mellow walls provide the framework for the formal East Front and West Gardens; there’s a fascinating productive walled kitchen garden and beyond the walls there are three acres of romantic, wild gardens. The East Front The dramatic architectural masterpiece of the Hall is clear at this point. The central view of the Hall from the Gate House is uninterrupted due to the regular pattern of box edging and topiary following the outer original Elizabethan walls. Standing guard in the forecourt are four topiary unicorns, representing the Jarvis family crest. The West Garden A riot of colour can be seen in the West Garden from April through to September. The box-edged parterres are the backdrop for an incredible display of bearded iris in late May, and the herbaceous borders are full of colour from April through to September. There are some lovely botanical surprises too, such as naturalised Crown Imperials, rare and elegant Edwardian Daffodils and a Handkerchief Tree. The Wild Garden Early February sees the beginning of a spectacular pageant of spring bulbs; swathes of naturalised Snowdrops and delicate Crocus Thomasianus along with carmine cyclamen Coum. March and April bring glorious drifts of Lent Lilies, along with hosts of other native bulbs such as Aconites and Snake Head Fritillaries, Scilla and Erythronium along with our unique collection of heritage Daffodils. The rhododendrons are also spectacular in the spring. Whatever the time of year, meandering walks will reveal other highlights such as three ancient, contorted and still-productive sweet chestnut trees; the Temple of the Winds built by Antony Jarvis in memory of his parents; a turf maze modelled on an ancient one at Alkborough in North Lincolnshire; and if you look carefully you might find the ‘Dinosaur’s Egg’ (a large boulder that Antony Jarvis put in the branches of a field maple tree to surprise the grandchildren). A pleasant and interesting walk of about a mile can be followed along the nature trail in a circular route; starting from just beyond the Temple at the end of the Garden and routing back to the ‘ha ha’ at the end of the Yew avenue. The route passes through woodlands, open parkland and a wetland meadow from where the clay was dug to make the bricks to build Doddington, with an option to walk right down the avenue to see the new pyramid that has recently been completed out of recycled concrete as an eye-catcher, 1000m from the house. Please take care in the garden the ground can be uneven and slippery; branches can be hazardous. 4 Doddington Sculpture Map ‘The Pyramid’ Outside installation 1000 m Granary Barn indoor exhibition Wild Garden ‘Suprise & Delight’ West Garden ‘Colour & Light’ Great Hall Installation East Front ‘Strength & Power’ 5 Featured sculptures The Hunter by Davy & Kristin McGuire Winners of The Oxford Samuel Beckett Theatre Trust Award 2013, Davy & Kristin McGuire are multidisciplinary artists whose work has included The Icebook and an atmospheric stage adaptation of popular fantasy novel, Howl’s Moving Castle. Their latest award winning theatre production The Paper Architect premiered in July 2013 at the Barbican London. The Hunter is an intricate paper diorama that comes to life through projected animations, music and sound effects. When the intricately cut paper model illuminates, tiny shadow figures seem to appear behind the diorama in order to depict a silent fable about the cruelty of human conduct and the ability to repent our actions. This installation can be see in the Granary Barn. The Corkscrew by Robb Higgs Rob Higgs is a mechanical sculptor, automata maker and inventor. He designs and makes mechanical sculptures, contraptions and eccentric machines, largely using found materials such as; old gears, wheels, chains and mechanical items found on old farmsteads, in boatyards and on scrapheaps. Weighing at more than three-quarters of a tonne, this incredible beauty of 382 moving parts including gears, pulleys, levers, spring and bells that stands at 1.6m (5ft 3in) tall at its highest point, is cast from brass and is a glorious sight to behold when set in ponderous, whirring, clanking motion. This installation can be see in the Great Hall. Secret Society by Kathy Dalwood The collection is a contemporary response to the traditionally sculpted figurative statues and busts of the 18th and 19th centuries, but rather than sculpting in clay or stone, the busts are made by direct casting from real things. To construct the original sculpture from which the plaster casts are taken, the first step is to ‘collage’ together all kinds of materials and found objects – fabrics, haberdashery, model buildings and vehicles, plastic packaging, corrugated card, paper, electrical and plumbing parts and much else. The plaster casts made from these originals pick up an amazing amount of texture and detail giving the sculptures a strange air of realism. This installation can be see in the Great Hall. 6 Top tips for buying sculpture Do you like the sculpture? Have you actually fallen in love with the sculpture? Have you viewed it from all angles? How will it weather? Some stone sculptures will look better as they weather but if you would like it stay pristine why not ask if it should be protected during the winter months. Where will it be situated? Have you got a space for it? Is it going under a tree? If so are you prepared to clean bird droppings off the sculpture from time to time? How will it look? Sculptures can be a wonderful focus point for the garden and can help the transition between garden and landscape. Consider how the sculpture will look from a distance and up close. Will the sculptor conduct a site visit? Some sculptors may conduct a site visit prior to the work being delivered. Rather than get a non-specialist to place your sculpture, it is advisable to get the artist’s advice. The benefit of this is you can learn the genesis of the piece and find the best situation for the sculpture to be placed in. Be different Sometimes the less obvious spots are the best; it is magical to stumble across a sculpture when you least expect it. 7 Material In Disguise by Jo Davis ...a cultural exchange had begun; albeit a reluctant exchange of ideas that were only communicated through the objects themselves. 8 The bricks that from which Doddington from its native homeland in China.

As promised in the last volume of the Marriage Registers of Derbyshire, the marriage records of St. Alkmund's form the first instalment of the Registers of the County Town. The Editors do not doubt that these will prove especially interesting to Derbyshire people. In Volume V they hope to print further instalments of town registers in the shape of those of St. Michael's and also some village registers. It will be noticed that St. Alkmund's register begins at the earliest possible date, 1538, but of the remainder, two do not start till the seventeenth century and one, that of Quarndon, synchronizes with the passing of Lord Hardwicke's Marriage Act. 1379092 It will be convenient to give here a list of the Derby- shire parishes of which the Registers have been printed in this series: Volume I.

  • WOLVERHAMPTON CHRONICLE 1860 to 1869 1 4 January 1860
    WOLVERHAMPTON CHRONICLE 1860 to 1869 1 4 January 1860 STAFFORDSHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS STEALING IRON AT SEDGLEY George Hughes, boatman, indicted for stealing 56 lbs of iron, the property of the London and North Western Railway Company, at Sedgley, was found guilty and sentenced to twelve months imprisonment. 2 18 January 1860 TIPTON DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE On Tuesday, an inquest was held at Swan Village on the body of Joseph Timmins, a boatman 20 years of age. On the preceding Saturday morning, deceased, in company with a man named William Smith, was on the canal with an empty boat, going to Tipton. When past Dudley Port, and near the canal bridge there, they came to a turn in the course of the canal and, meeting with another boat, a collision ensued between the two. Deceased, who stood up in the end of his own boat, fell into the water, and being able to swim, kept himself afloat until his companion, Smith, had nearly reached the side where he was, but at this moment he sank to the bottom of the canal, overcome, it is supposed, by the effects of the cold. Smith at once got out the body of deceased, and calling for help, a man named Griffiths, in the employ of the Canal Company, came up, and seeing that deceased was insensible, merely blew down his throat. This producing no apparent effect, he said, “I don't see that there's any life in him, and I'll take him to Tipton”. This course was pursued, and after taking the deceased to an office by the canal side, where he was laid still breathing, poor Timmins was conveyed to a public house in Tipton, a distance from this office of more than 300 yards.

  • The Rise and Fall of a Market Town, Castle Donington in the Nineteenth
    THE RISE AND FALL OF A 1\iIARl(ET TOWN Castle Donington in the Nineteenth Century by J.M. Lee I The old buildings of Castle Donington are startling evidence of former prosperity. Not only the larger residences of High Street, but also many houses of little importance with back-kitchens and outhouses of old half­ timbered work, have red-brick fronts and sash windows, all of the same age, which are a flourish in the classical style that dominated the ordinary domes­ tic architecture of the early nineteenth century. The visitor must be puzzled by the curious architectural luxuries which have been altered to suit other purposes. For instance, a house stands in the Market Place, with a classical pediment and a French window which once opened on to a wrought iron balcony; but its ground floor frontage has twice been rebuilt, once to accom­ modate two shop-fronts and now to house an office. The balanced pro­ portions of No. 71 High Street, and the elegance of its next-door neighbour are evidence of good taste. The two houses in High Street built for two sisters of a former vicar, Isabella and Mary Ann Dalby, command the respect due to comfortable gentility. The bold bow-windows of a shop in Church Lane and the shy milliner's window in Apes Gate remind the passer-by of long-vanished trades. A sense of solid satisfaction is conveyed by the even regularity of door and window in Church Lane Terrace, by the ostentation of Venetian windows above two shops in Borough Street and by the moulding of the cottage door-jambs in Bondgate.

    River, Canal and Coastal Carriers in the East Midlands c.1660–1840 Philip Riden River, Canal and Coastal Carriers in the East Midlands c.1660–1850 Philip Riden Department of History University of Nottingham, UK [email protected] 2013 FOREWORD This short piece of work is a by-product of projected larger study of ‘Transport and Trade in the East Midlands, 1660–1840’, on which I have been engaged for several years and hope shortly to complete with the support of a grant from the British Academy. As part of this work, I have assembled outline biographies of individuals and partnerships who carried goods on the rivers and later the canals of the region (defined fairly loosely as Derbyshire (less the High Peak), Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Rutland), and coastwise to and from the ports of Lincolnshire, as a means of better understanding how transport services by water developed over the period in question. I have also prepared a similar biographical dictionary of ‘StageWaggon Carriers in the East Midlands, c.1660–1840’, which I hope shortly to make available in the same form as this booklet. I am circulating these notes in draft in the belief that they may be of interest to others working in the same field, and in the hope that by doing so I may elicit corrections and additions that can be incorporated in a later version. Accordingly, I would be delighted if anyone who comes across this work and feels they can add or correct anything would get in touch. Equally, I would be grateful if this work was not cited elsewhere without my first being consulted.

  • The Original Village of Shardlow Is Mentioned in Domesday As Serdelau
    Shardlow Guided Walk 34 Broughton House built by Thomas Sutton in the 1790s The original village of Shardlow (which is further up the main for his son James. There is a story that it was built to road than the canal port) is mentioned in Domesday as deliberately block the view from the house of a rival family, Serdelau. The name is thought to derive from Anglo Saxon the Soresbys (now The Lady in Grey).

  • Sewanee Alumni News, 1954
    ALUMNI NEWS Volume XX, No. 1 February 15, 1954 The Vice- Chancellor's Page • The most important Sewanee news of the moment seems to me to be the fact that the twenty-two owning dioceses have more than met their quota for Church Support in 1953. Together they contributed, $81,851.89 against a quota of $80,000. For this we have to thank' every diocese which had us in their budget, and every parish which; made a separate contribution, and each of the private individuals whc| voluntarily solicited for us, and most particularly Mr. Edmund Orgillj of Memphis, Chairman of our Committee on Church Support, tc whose indefatigable efforts we owe more than we can adequately ex4 press. This Church Support is the most important, though not the largest! part of our income. It means more to me than endowment, because itl is the cement which binds Sewanee to the Church, and thus guarantees! as much as anything can, the Christian character of this institution. No college student ever pays the full cost of his education. Ac- 1 cordingly, every institution of higher learning has to have (in addi-i tion to student fees) tax support, or endowment, or some dependable! 1 equivalent for these. We, of course, have no tax support at all. Wi do have some endowment, but our total income from endowment \ student fees, and auxiliary enterprises is approximately $120,000 lesij than our operating costs each year. Accordingly, we could not con-j tinue operation at all if it were not for contributions from the Church, alumni, and generous friends.

(BLACKPOOL) LTD., BACK REGENT ROAD, BLACKPOOL 1961 PREFACE Jt is now more than thirty years since the last list of the Chester probate records, for the period 1811 to 1820, was published by the Record Society in volumes 78 and 79. In 1949 all the documents prior to 1858 were removed from the jurisdiction of the Chester Probate Registry and divided into three groups : those relating to Welsh estates were deposited in the National Library of Wales, the Cheshire ones went to the Cheshire Record Office in Chester, and the remainder — by far the largest portion — which related to Lancashire estates, together with the indexes, registers and act books were deposited in the Lancashire Record Office in Preston. All the wills proved and administrations granted in the Chester Court for the period 1821 to 1825 are now listed in this volume in three indexes, baldly described as Lancashire, Cheshire and Welsh, although several documents in each group relate to other parts of the country.
