  • Temple Stowe Gardens (CR764/215) June's Document of the Month Is A
    Document of the Month June 2019 Temple Stowe Gardens (CR764/215) June’s Document of the Month is a beautiful sketch, by Sir Roger Newdigate, depicting the Temple of Venus at Stowe Gardens. The Temple was built circa 1731 by William Kent as part of a grand landscaping venture for the then owner of the estate, Lord Cobham.1 It became a grade I listed building2 and can still be seen within the Gardens at Stowe in Buckinghamshire, which forms part of the National Trust portfolio. The sketch is believed to have been drawn between 1747 and 17683 and is part of a much larger collection held at the record office for the Newdigate/Newdegate family. The Latin inscription penned in the centre of the sketch was styled from a frieze once found on the roof of the temple which read: Nunc amet qui nondum amavit: Quique amavit, nunc amet Translation: Let him love now, who never lov’d before: Let him, who always lov’d, now love the more4 1 National Trust.

  • An Oxford College and the Eighteenth-Century Gothic Revival
    Oxoniensia 77 txt 2+index_Oxoniensia 08/11/2012 11:15 Page 117 GOTHIC REVIVAL 117 An Oxford College and the Eighteenth-Century Gothic Revival OLIVER COX SUMMARY The renovation of the dining hall at University College Oxford between 1766 and 1768 was one of the earliest examples of Gothic Revival architecture and disrupts the teleological narrative of the movement’s historiography. The collaborative product of the architect Henry Keene and Sir Roger Newdigate, MP for the University of Oxford, the hall loudly proclaimed the college’s foundation by King Alfred and its dynamic position in the social and political life of the 1760s. ‘...though fan tracery and ribbed vaulting have a degree of prettiness everywhere and would, even if they were constructed topsy-turvy, or in any other imaginable position, yet nothing but the worst possible taste could have conceived the transmutation we have described.’1 To go Gothic in 1766 was a striking decision when set against the pervasive, albeit not all- embracing, classicism of Georgian Oxford. By the 1840s, The British Critic and Quarterly Theological Review (quoted above) saw in the plaster fan vaults of the dining hall at University College Oxford (Univ.) an encapsulation of everything that the Victorians felt was wrong with eighteenth-century Gothic. But despite the significance of the original decision and the harshness of some nineteenth-century criticisms, the architectural anomaly produced by the redesign of the hall has only attracted the most fleeting of glances from scholars. Howard Colvin believed it to be a ‘charming example of the Georgian rediscovery of Gothic as a decorative style’,2 whilst Geoffrey Tyack lamented that the work ‘fell victim to the more solemn taste of a later generation’ when the hall was extended and the elaborate plaster fan vaults removed in 1904.3 Even in Robin Darwall-Smith’s magisterial history the hall receives only a paragraph, although it is recognized that it was ‘the first major example of the Gothic Revival style in Oxford.’4 Yet the aesthetic decisions taken by Univ.

AND DERBY 1908 \_All Rights Reserved] Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2010 with funding from University of Toronto (olO http://www.archive.org/details/memorialsofoldwaOOdryd PREFACE No general introduction to another volume of the now well-known Memorials series is needed. It is, however, necessary for me to explain that I have purposely omitted from this volume on Warwickshire chapters on what has become popularly known as " Shakespeare's Country "—the towns of Stratford-upon- Avon, Warwick, and Leamington, Kenilworth Castle, also Guy's Cliff— for there has been a multiplicity of books on these well-known places of late years. For the same reason I have omitted all notice of ShaJkespeare himself, and also of the history of Coventry town. The Castles of Warwick and Kenilworth are noticed under " Castles," and subjects of great interest, but little known, concerning Warwick, Stratford-upon-Avon, and Coventry, are treated of. Owing to illness, Mr. Shepard has been unable to write " The Recusants in Warwickshire," that was included in the original contents. It only remains for me to record my most grateful thanks to the writers, and to all those who have so kindly taken or lent photographs and blocks for illustrations; also to Mr.
