A ROYALIST FAMILY'S EXPERIENCE OF THE CIVIL WAR GILES DRAKE-BROCKMAN A brief note in the 1931 volume ofArchaeologia Cantiana describes how a collection of papers belonging to the Brockman family of Beachborough, Newington by Hythe, had come to light and been presented to the British Library-.1 Tlie most illustrious member of this family was Sir William Brockman (1595-1654). Sir William had attended the Middle Temple in London (although it is not known if he qualified as a lawyer) and went on to hold a significant position in county society in Kent including being appointed Sheriff in 1642 (but see below). However he is best known for the noble part he played on the Royalist side in the Battle of Maidstone in 1648. In fact. Sir William's involvement in hostilities against Parliament had begun much earlier, soon after the Civil War broke out. The king had raised his standard at Nottingham and formally declared war against the Parliamentarians on 22 August 1642. The first b a t t l e took place at Edgehill in September 1642 with the Royalists gaining victory. However, when the king's anny advanced on London it was met by a large defence force and in mid-November the king withdrew to Oxford. It was at this point that Brockman endeavoured to raise a rebellion against Parliament in Kent. He was sent a commission of array by the king at Oxford while the earl of Tlianet was despatched with a regiment through Sussex to support Mm.

  • Social Institutions in Kent 1480-1660
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 75 1961 SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS IN KENT 1480-1660 III. THE STRUCTURE OF ASPIRATIONS A. The poor THE persistent and the principal concern of Kentish donors, if our whole long period may be taken in view, was the care of the poor. The immense sum of £102,519 7s., amounting to 40-72 per cent, of the total of the charitable funds of this rich county, was poured into one or another of the several forms of poor relief. The largest amount was provided for the relief of the poor in their own homes, a total of £52,242 7s. having been given for this purpose, constituting more than one-fifth (20'75 per cent.) of all charities and considerably more than that given for any other specific charitable use. As we have already noted, a heavy proportion (90-05 per cent.) of this total was vested in the form of permanent endowments, thereby establishing institutional mechanisms for the alleviation of what may be regarded as the most pressing of the social problems of the age. Another great sum, £44,614 3s., was provided for almshouse establishments in all parts of the county, this being the second largest amount given for any one charitable use and amounting to 17-72 per cent, of the whole of the charitable re- sources of Kent.1 In addition, the sum of £5,067 17s., of which about 97 per cent. (96-60 per cent.) was capital, was designated for general charitable uses, which in Kent as elsewhere almost invariably meant that the income was employed for some form of poor relief.

    The Life and Achievements of Robert Burns Woodward Long Literature Seminar July 13, 2009 Erika A. Crane “The structure known, but not yet accessible by synthesis, is to the chemist what the unclimbed mountain, the uncharted sea, the untilled field, the unreached planet, are to other men. The achievement of the objective in itself cannot but thrill all chemists, who even before they know the details of the journey can apprehend from their own experience the joys and elations, the disappointments and false hopes, the obstacles overcome, the frustrations subdued, which they experienced who traversed a road to the goal. The unique challenge which chemical synthesis provides for the creative imagination and the skilled hand ensures that it will endure as long as men write books, paint pictures, and fashion things which are beautiful, or practical, or both.” “Art and Science in the Synthesis of Organic Compounds: Retrospect and Prospect,” in Pointers and Pathways in Research (Bombay:CIBA of India, 1963).

  • 50 Douglas Liberal Predicament
    THE LIBERAL PREDICAMENT, 1945 – 64 For most of the twenty years from 1945 to 1964, it looked as if the Liberals were finished. They were reduced to a handful of MPs, most of whom held their seats precariously,. They were desperately short of money and organisation, and were confronted by two great parties, both seeking to look as ‘liberal’ as possible. For the ambitious would- be Liberal politician, there was practically no prospect of a seat in Parliament, or even on the local council. Roy Douglas examines why, despite the desperate state of their party, many Liberals kept the faith going, and not only carried on campaigning, but also laid the foundations for long-term revival.
