" In the 16th Edward 11., Rowland de Rich­ mound released the same to Sir Andrew de Harcla, earl of Carlisle," on . whose attainder it escheated to the crown, and was granted by 'Edward Ill., in 1337, to Richard de Salkeld, Knight, a benefactor to Wetheral priory. His son Hugh married the heiress of Rosgill, in 'Vestmor. land, and his son John settled at Corby, and had issue Richard Salkeld, Knight" who left five daughters, of whom Catherine and Mary had the Corby estate, and carried it in marriage to the Salkelds, of Whitehall, and the Blenkinsops, of Helbeck, who.enjoyed their several moieties for five generations, and then sold them in 1606 and 1624 to LoRD WILLIAJ!I ·HoWARD, third son of Thomas Duke of Norfolk, who had Naworth Castle in marriage with Elizabeth, one of the sisters of George Lord Dacre.

He was succeeded by his eldest son Francis, whom Sand­ . ford says, "was a great house-keeper and horse-courser, and in all jovial . gallantries expert, and beloved of all men," and possessed of an estate _Qf £2,000 per annum, which descended to his brother William, and from him to his son Thomas, who died in 17 40, and by his second wife Barbara, sister of Sir Christopher Musgrave, Bart., left issue a son, Philip, and two daughters, both nuns.

    MARMOREALITIES: CLASSICAL NAKEDNESS IN BRITISH SCULPTURE AND HISTORICAL PAINTING 1798-1840 CORA HATSHEPSUT GILROY-WARE PH.D UNIVERSITY OF YORK HISTORY OF ART SEPTEMBER 2013 ABSTRACT Exploring the fortunes of naked Graeco-Roman corporealities in British art achieved between 1798 and 1840, this study looks at the ideal body’s evolution from a site of ideological significance to a form designed consciously to evade political meaning. While the ways in which the incorporation of antiquity into the French Revolutionary project forged a new kind of investment in the classical world have been well-documented, the drastic effects of the Revolution in terms of this particular cultural formation have remained largely unexamined in the context of British sculpture and historical painting. By 1820, a reaction against ideal forms and their ubiquitous presence during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic wartime becomes commonplace in British cultural criticism. Taking shape in a series of chronological case-studies each centring on some of the nation’s most conspicuous artists during the period, this thesis navigates the causes and effects of this backlash, beginning with a state-funded marble monument to a fallen naval captain produced in 1798-1803 by the actively radical sculptor Thomas Banks. The next four chapters focus on distinct manifestations of classical nakedness by Benjamin West, Benjamin Robert Haydon, Thomas Stothard together with Richard Westall, and Henry Howard together with John Gibson and Richard James Wyatt, mapping what I identify as

  • The Construction of Northumberland House and the Patronage of Its Original Builder, Lord Henry Howard, 1603–14
    The Antiquaries Journal, 90, 2010,pp1 of 60 r The Society of Antiquaries of London, 2010 doi:10.1017⁄s0003581510000016 THE CONSTRUCTION OF NORTHUMBERLAND HOUSE AND THE PATRONAGE OF ITS ORIGINAL BUILDER, LORD HENRY HOWARD, 1603–14 Manolo Guerci Manolo Guerci, Kent School of Architecture, University of Kent, Marlowe Building, Canterbury CT27NR, UK. E-mail: [email protected] This paper affords a complete analysis of the construction of the original Northampton (later Northumberland) House in the Strand (demolished in 1874), which has never been fully investigated. It begins with an examination of the little-known architectural patronage of its builder, Lord Henry Howard, 1st Earl of Northampton from 1603, one of the most interesting figures of the early Stuart era. With reference to the building of the contemporary Salisbury House by Sir Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury, the only other Strand palace to be built in the early seventeenth century, textual and visual evidence are closely investigated. A rediscovered eleva- tional drawing of the original front of Northampton House is also discussed. By associating it with other sources, such as the first inventory of the house (transcribed in the Appendix), the inside and outside of Northampton House as Henry Howard left it in 1614 are re-configured for the first time. Northumberland House was the greatest representative of the old aristocratic mansions on the Strand – the almost uninterrupted series of waterfront palaces and large gardens that stretched from Westminster to the City of London, the political and economic centres of the country, respectively. Northumberland House was also the only one to have survived into the age of photography.

PREFACE. The following Life has been compiled mainly from original records and documents still preserved in the Archives of the English Province of Friar-Preachers. The work has at least this recommendation, that the matter is entirely new, as the MSS. from which it is taken have hitherto lain in complete obscurity. It is hoped that it will form an interesting addition to the Ecclesiastical History of Eng land. In the acknowledging of great assist ance from several friends, especial thanks are due to Philip H. Howard, Esq., of Corby Castle, who kindly supplied or directed atten tion to much valuable matter, and contributed a short but graphic sketch of the Life of the Cardinal of Norfolk taken by his father the late Henry Howard, Esq., from a MS.

Such a condition will be legally binding so long as it is sufficiently clear and is capable of being performed.1 Commonly found in nineteenth- century wills, when the courts developed much of the law on this subject, name and arms clauses are now rather more unusual. In 2011 the Chancery Division of the High Court was asked to consider the validity of a name and arms clause in the case of Howard v Howard-Lawson} The Defendant, Sir John Howard-Lawson, Bt., had sold the ancestral family seat of Corby Castle in Cumbria. The Claimant, his son, Philip William Howard, claimed his father lacked the authority to do so as he had failed to comply with the requirements of a name and arms clause in the will of his benefactor. The Corby estate had come into the hands of Sir John under the will of his great-grandfather Philip John Canning Howard ('the testator'), dated 19 February 1930, who died on 22 April 1934.
