Research Press Library English and Welsh Gunsmiths and Gunmakers, 1550 – 1850 A List of English and Welsh Provincial Gunsmiths and Gunmakers from 1550 to 1850 by Brian Godwin The following pages contain a list of English and Welsh gunsmiths and gunmakers from around 1550 to about 1850*. The list has been compiled from free on-line sources such as County Record and Archive Offices and The National Archives, but it must not be considered a definitive list, as new information is added from time to time. The availability of on-line sources from English and Welsh County Record and Archive Offices varies enormously, some as yet having no searchable digitised records, while in other Offices the digitalisation of records can vary from 20% to 80%. In the tables each County is listed alphabetically in a PINK banner, although this may cause some confusion as Yorkshire and Sussex, for instance, are split into east and west regions. For those searching for the gunmakers of “Birmingham and its environs” you will need to search the three principal sections of the list, “Birmingham and the West Midlands”, “Staffordshire Record Office” and “Warwickshire Record Office”. The Record Office document reference is shown on the right hand side and the date of the document on the left. A copy of the document can usually be obtained from the appropriate Record Office quoting the reference, although there is no guarantee that the document will provide additional information. However, the vast majority of Wills do give an insight into a particular gunmaker and sometimes provide details of his wealth, family and workshop. The PDF is searchable via “Edit” on the drop-down menu, select “Find” and enter the search word. Alternatively the search facility can be accessed by pressing ‘ctrl-F’ on a keyboard. * excluding LONDON gunsmiths/gunmakers - these can be found in the 2 volumes of A Dictionary of London Gunmakers 1350 - 1850 by Howard Blackmore, London 1986 & 1999 May 2017 www.researchpress.co.uk RPL004 1 English & Welsh gunmakers & gunsmiths from the mid 16th century EXCLUDING LONDON A record of names, dates and places compiled from free on-line sources - Spring 2017 Version 1 DATE NAME EVENT LOCATION SOURCE Record City/Town Office Reference Number See NOTES at the end of this list BEDFORDSHIRE Bedfordshire Record Office 1651 John Adames Conveyance (Feoffment): John Butler, labourer, to John Lidlington CH609 Adames, gunsmith, both of Lidlington -- 1 ac. in Windmill Fd 20 Jun 1664 Thomas Peobody Marriage Settlement (Feoffment): £30.

  • Here It Became Obvious That Hollacombe Crediton and Not Hollacombe Winkleigh Was Implied and Quite a Different Proposition

    Here It Became Obvious That Hollacombe Crediton and Not Hollacombe Winkleigh Was Implied and Quite a Different Proposition

    INTRODUCTION In 1876 Charles Worthy wrote “The History of the Manor and Church of Winkleigh”, the first and only book on Winkleigh to be published. Although this valuable little handbook contains many items of interest, not all of which fall within the range of its title, it is not a complete history and consequently fails to meet the requirements of the Devonshire Association. More than a dozen years ago a friend remarked to me that the monks of Crediton at one time used to walk to Hollacombe in order to preach at the ancient chapel of Hollacombe Barton. I was so surprised by this seemingly long trek that I made enquiries of the Devonshire Association. I was referred to the Tower Library of Crediton Church where it became obvious that Hollacombe Crediton and not Hollacombe Winkleigh was implied and quite a different proposition. Meantime the Honorary General Editor of the Parochial Section (Hugh R. Watkins Esq.) suggested that I should write a history of Winkleigh. The undertaking was accepted although it was clear that my only qualification for the task was a deep regard for the associations of the parish combined with a particularly intense love for the hamlet of Hollacombe. The result of this labour of love, produced in scanty spare time, and spread over the intervening years should be considered with these points in view. The proof of this present pudding will be measured by the ease with which the less immediately interesting parts can be assimilated by the general reader. Due care has been taken to verify all the subject matter.
  • A Brief History of Christ Church MEDIEVAL PERIOD

    A Brief History of Christ Church MEDIEVAL PERIOD

    A Brief History of Christ Church MEDIEVAL PERIOD Christ Church was founded in 1546, and there had been a college here since 1525, but prior to the Dissolution of the monasteries, the site was occupied by a priory dedicated to the memory of St Frideswide, the patron saint of both university and city. St Frideswide, a noble Saxon lady, founded a nunnery for herself as head and for twelve more noble virgin ladies sometime towards the end of the seventh century. She was, however, pursued by Algar, prince of Leicester, for her hand in marriage. She refused his frequent approaches which became more and more desperate. Frideswide and her ladies, forewarned miraculously of yet another attempt by Algar, fled up river to hide. She stayed away some years, settling at Binsey, where she performed healing miracles. On returning to Oxford, Frideswide found that Algar was as persistent as ever, laying siege to the town in order to capture his bride. Frideswide called down blindness on Algar who eventually repented of his ways, and left Frideswide to her devotions. Frideswide died in about 737, and was canonised in 1480. Long before this, though, pilgrims came to her shrine in the priory church which was now populated by Augustinian canons. Nothing remains of Frideswide’s nunnery, and little - just a few stones - of the Saxon church but the cathedral and the buildings around the cloister are the oldest on the site. Her story is pictured in cartoon form by Burne-Jones in one of the windows in the cathedral. One of the gifts made to the priory was the meadow between Christ Church and the Thames and Cherwell rivers; Lady Montacute gave the land to maintain her chantry which lay in the Lady Chapel close to St Frideswide’s shrine.

    ST JAMES’ CHURCH RHOSDDU ST JOHN’S CHURCH, RHOSNESNI From the Revd Sarah Errington The Vicarage Priest-in-Charge 160 Borras Road Telephone: 01978 266018 WREXHAM e-mail: [email protected] LL13 9ER 10 February 2021 Hallo Everyone! Ash Wednesday and Lent I hope you are finding the weekly mailings helpful in your spiritual reflections and activities. Last week’s package included a sheet with a suggested service/activity for Ash Wednesday, which is next week, and marks the beginning of Lent and our preparations for Easter. I have considered doing a streamed service for Ash Wednesday, but in the end decided that I don’t have the capacity. The Mission Area leaflet attached gives details of online Ash Wednesday services in the Mission Area; or you might like to watch the service from St Asaph Cathedral at 7.00 pm on Wednesday, on the Cathedral Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/StAsaphCathedral/live/, or the Cathedral website: https://stasaphcathedral.wales/. Next week I will be sending out two resources which you might like to use through the weeks of Lent. The first is called A Journey Through Mark’s Gospel, and provides a number of readings and reflections for each week of Lent. The second is called Baking Through Lent, and focusses on the Sunday gospel reading for each week; it provides a recipe which is linked to the reading, which you might like to bake. If you do that, and you have the opportunity before your food is scoffed (!), it would be fantastic to share some photos of what you’ve baked! You can either post them on our Facebook page/group, or send them to me by email, and I’ll post them for you.
  • A History of Castle Vale

    A History of Castle Vale

    A HISTORY OF CASTLE VALE By Geoff Bateson INTRODUCTION Castle Vale is a modern housing area on the north-eastern edge of Birmingham. It is unique in many ways and has gone through distinct sets of changes. The things that most people noticed on their first visit to the area, when it was first built as a housing estate, was the flat and open landscape and the very distinct boundaries which seemed to almost cut Castle Vale off from the rest of the city to make a little island of people. These features have recently been changed, and will continue to change into the future, but each change is dictated by past developments. To understand what an area is like now, it is important to understand its history. The history of the Castle Vale area can be traced backwards, layer by layer and then built up again as a sequential record of those things that made the area what it was at each stage of its development. This booklet follows the changing fortunes of the small area of land known as Castle Vale from its beginnings as a swampy forest, through the feudal times of battling barons, through the growing industrialisation of Birmingham to the First World War, on through its life as an airfield, finally to the construction of the modern housing estate and the very recent improvements to that area. From time to time little excursions will be taken into the wider history of the region but only in order to set the very local events within their wider setting and make them even more interesting than they already are.

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.
