The Great Houses of Leyton and Leytonstone

Published in 2007 by Leyton & Leytonstone Historical Society 27 The Croft Friday Hill London E4 6EZ Website : www/leytonhistorysociety.org.uk printed in 2016 by Parchments of Oxford www.parchmentuk.com Author’s Note I had hoped to be able to refer to a report of an excavation carried out by English Heritage on the site of Leyton House in 1993. It was conducted under the auspices of the Newham Museum Service. This report was held by the Passmore Edwards Museum, but as the museum was closed some years ago I have been unable to see this document. 2 Leyton House Of all the great houses of Leyton, the very one named after the village of Low Leyton seems to be the least known, historically speaking, yet it has a rich history. The Leyton historian John Kennedy, writing in 1894, had little to say: The grounds of Etloe House join those of Leyton House, an old mansion built of red bricks, the characteristic of most Leyton houses of the olden times. The date of the building is uncertain, but it may be presumed that it was built some time early in the eighteenth century, perhaps even earlier1. The last house to have occupied the site was known alternatively as Leyton House, Park House2 or St Agnes’s Orphanage. -
History of Parliament Online
THE HISTORY OF PARLIAMENT TRUST Review of activities in the year 2011-12 July 2012 - 1 - Objectives and Activities of the History of Parliament Trust The History of Parliament is a major academic project to create a scholarly reference work describing the members, constituencies and activities of the Parliament of England and the United Kingdom. The volumes either published or in preparation cover the House of Commons from 1386 to 1868 and the House of Lords from 1660 to 1832. They are widely regarded as an unparalleled source for British political, social and local history. The volumes consist of detailed studies of elections and electoral politics in each constituency, and of closely researched accounts of the lives of everyone who was elected to Parliament in the period, together with surveys drawing out the themes and discoveries of the research and adding information on the operation of Parliament as an institution. The History has published 21,420 biographies and 2,831 constituency surveys in ten sets of volumes (41 volumes in all). They deal with 1386-1421, 1509-1558, 1558-1603, 1604-29, 1660-1690, 1690-1715, 1715-1754, 1754-1790, 1790-1820 and 1820-32. All of these volumes save those most recently published (1604-29) are now available on www.historyofparliamentonline.org . The History’s staff of professional historians is currently researching the House of Commons in the periods 1422-1504, 1640-1660, and 1832-1868, and the House of Lords in the periods 1603-60 and 1660-1832. The three Commons projects currently in progress will contain a further 7,251 biographies of members of the House of Commons and 861 constituency surveys. -
Military Themes in British Painting 1815 - 1914
/ Military Themes in British Painting 1815 - 1914. Joan Winifred Martin Hichberger. Submission fcr PhD. University College, London. 1985 1 Abstract. Joan Winifred Martin Hichberger. Military Themes in British Painting 1815-1914. This thesis examines the treatment of the Bzitish Army and military themes, in painting, during the period 1815- 1914. All the works discussed were exhibited at the Royal Academy, which, although it underwent modifications in status, remained the nearest equivalent to a State Institution for Art in Britain. All the paintings shown there were painted with the knowledge that they were to be seen by the controllers of the Academy and the dominant classes of society. It will be inferred then, that the paintings shown there may be taken to have been acceptable to ruling class ideologies, and are therefore instructive of "official" attitudes to military art. Representations of the contemporary Army, in this period, fell into two main catagories - battle paintings and genre depictions of soldiers. Chapters one to three survey battle paintings; studying the relation of this genre to the Academy; the relative popularity of the genre and the career patterns of its practioners. The critical reception of battle pictures at the Academy and certain important public competitions will be noted and considered in the context of contemporary ideologies about art and about the Army and its men. Chapter four discusses the vital concept of "heroism" and its treatment in English military art. In particular, the reasons for the popularity of certain military figures above their peers, in academic art, will be explored. It will be argued that the process of "hero-making" in art was not determined by professional success alone, but was often the result of the intervention of patrons, publicists and pressure groups. -

Kossuth influenced by Count Széchenyi s literary propaganda for British institutions. — Kossuth’s progress in English during his imprisonment in Buda. — His advocacy of Bentham s humanitarian theories. — His endeavours to create industrial enterprises, credit, free trade and a free press. — Blackwell’s plan to increase Hun garian agricultural exports. —Kossuth opposes Blackwell’s plan. Britain always attracted Continental Europe, where feudalism still prevailed. Her splendid principles of government were indeed deeply rooted. After much bloodshed, at the end of the seven teenth century Britain could boast of equality of rights and a constitution, having reached the zenith of a development which served the welfare of her own people as well as those of Continental Europe.* France was the first to follow Britain’s lead, the France * SOURCES AND ABBREVIATIONS.

The ideals of the French revolution spread rapidly all over the Continent; neverthe less, it was only very slowly that they penetrated into Hungary, where, until 1848, feudalism prevailed. This is easily accounted for. -
The Male Body and Adornment in Early Modern England
Bejewelled: the male body and adornment in early modern England Natasha Awais-Dean Submitted for the degree of PhD Queen Mary, University of London October 2012 1 Queen Mary, University of London The British Museum Bejewelled: the male body and adornment in early modern England This thesis investigates the significance of the jewellery that was worn, owned, and circulated by men within sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century England, to provide a social and historical context for objects that are often viewed in terms of their materiality. Within the period 1509-1625 male consumption of jewellery was just as great as female consumption, yet jewellery has traditionally been considered a feminine preoccupation. This thesis readdresses this imbalance and in doing so aligns itself with the growing studies on masculinity, community, and sociability. Traditionally, studies on jewellery have adopted a more chronological or stylistic approach but there is now evidence of movement towards providing a social context for these objects and this thesis is a part of this development. In the early modern period jewellery was not valued purely for its intrinsic monetary worth; it had the ability to reflect meanings of magnificence and lineage, as well as sustain social bonds and networks of reciprocity. The myriad meanings of a man’s jewelled possessions demonstrate that jewellery was important and therefore constituted a valid part of a society’s material culture. This thesis centres on the collections of early modern European jewellery within the department of Prehistory and Europe at the British Museum. It is interdisciplinary in nature and combines strong object analysis with evidence from documentary, literary, archival, and visual sources, to provide a new context for these holdings. -

'HPHE compilation of the present index was commenced several years ago, and has proved a longer and more tedious task than at the outset was anticipated. It was at first intended to include only changes of name efifected under the royal sign manual, or by the authority of a private act of parliament. But so many changes have been effected irregularly within the last half century, that it was thought it would be a matter of some practical utility if they also could be included, even though they were without authority, and this accordingly has been done, though it has somewhat delayed the completion of the index, and added in no small degree to the labour of compiling it. But if it adds to the utility of the index, the compilers will be fully satisfied. The sources from which this index has been compiled are several. -

Marrying by the Numbers: Marriage Patterns of Aristocratic British Women, 1485-2000 By: Kimberly F. Schutte Submitted to the graduate degree program in History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Dr. Katherine Clark Chairperson Dr. Victor Bailey Dr. J.C.D. Clark Dr. Geraldo de Sousa Dr. Leslie Tuttle Date Defended: April 18, 2011 The Dissertation Committee for Kimberly F. Schutte certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Marrying by the Numbers: Marriage Patterns of Aristocratic British Women, 1485-2000 _________Katherine Clark_____ Chairperson Dr. Katherine Clark Date Approved: April 18, 2011 ii Abstract This project is a study of the marriage patterns of aristocratic British women over the more than five-century period between 1485 and 2000. It employs a two-fold evidentiary base, combining a demographic analysis with a more traditional analysis of primary sources such as letters, journals, and diaries. Together, the statistical and the written evidence provide a window into the intersection of marriage and rank among elite British women between the sixteenth and the twentieth centuries. As a result of this research, this dissertation argues that there was a remarkable level of consistency in rank identity among the British aristocracy despite great changes in government, religion, and society. iii Acknowledgements A project that has been a lifetime in the completion necessarily accumulates a number of debts, both professional and personal, debts that I gratefully acknowledge here. This work has been conducted under the painstaking guidance of my advisor, Dr. -
