PREFACE. The hand of Death has removed the writer of thefe pages, which were nearly ready for the prefs when he was called to his reft, and it remains for a member of the family whofe ancient feat is defcribed, to place this, the laft v/ork of an accomplifhed antiquary and genealogift, as well as a high-bred Englifli gentleman, before the public. It was originally intended to be printed privately only, for the immediate ufe of the numerous vifitors to the old feat of the Lechmeres, at Hanley Caftle, in Worcefterfhire ; but it was thought that his laft work would poftefs an intereft to the numerous friends and acquaintances who knew the writer, and who would regard it, flight and unimportant as it may appear in comparifon with the former well-known productions of his facile and accurate pen, as fomething beyond a mere ephemeral contribution to local and family hiftory.

  • Cavendish Square
    DRAFT CHAPTER 7 Cavendish Square Peering over the railings and through the black trees into the garden of the Square, you see a few miserable governesses with wan-faced pupils wandering round and round it, and round the dreary grass-plot in the centre of which rises the statue of Lord Gaunt, who fought at Minden, in a three- tailed wig, and otherwise habited like a Roman Emperor. Gaunt House occupies nearly a side of the Square. The remaining three sides are composed of mansions that have passed away into dowagerism; – tall, dark houses, with window-frames of stone, or picked out of a lighter red. Little light seems to be behind those lean, comfortless casements now: and hospitality to have passed away from those doors as much as the laced lacqueys and link-boys of old times, who used to put out their torches in the blank iron extinguishers that still flank the lamps over the steps. Brass plates have penetrated into the square – Doctors, the Diddlesex Bank Western Branch – the English and European Reunion, &c. – it has a dreary look. Thackeray made little attempt to disguise Cavendish Square in Vanity Fair (1847–8). Dreariness could not be further from what had been intended by those who, more than a century earlier, had conceived the square as an enclave of private palaces and patrician grandeur. Nor, another century and more after Thackeray, is it likely to come to mind in what, braced between department stores and doctors’ consulting rooms, has become an oasis of smart offices, sleek subterranean parking and occasional lunch-hour sunbathing.

    f .T . DIC.KINSON, " HENRY ST. JOHN AND THE STRUGGLE FOR THE LEADERSHIP OF THE TORY PAR'.i'Y 1702-14" Volume Two. Chapter Eight. The Emerging Rival to Harley. The supreme political skill and management of Harley had engineered. the ministerial revolution of 1710, but he had not been able to prevent a large and potentially unruly Tory majority in the Commons. Though Harley had the support, if not the absolute allegiance, of many Tory leaders, including Bromley, Rochester, St. John, and Harcourt, there were already those who opposed his trimming policy. The most important of these was the earl of Nottingham, whose integrity and high Church principles commanded widespread respect in the Tory ranks. Kept out of the ministry he appeared a potential rallying point for those Tories disgruntled with Harley's. moderate policy. As early as 28 October 1710 his lieutenant, John Ward, was trying to recruit a party for him and was 1 hoping to enlist Sir Thomas Harmer. The duke of Shrewsbury warned Harley that many other peers, besides Nottingham, were dissatisfied and he listed Argyll, Rivera, Peterborough, Jersey, Fitzwalter, 2 Guernsey, and Haversham. There were soon reports that the 1 Leicester Record Office. Finch bliss. Box vi, bundle 23. Ward to Nottingham, 28 Oct. 1710. 2 H. N. C.

Despite all these manifestations of early trouble Harley pressed on with his plans to reduce faction at home and secure peace abroad. The essential prerequisite was to restore financial confidence, a task more 4 difficult than the Tory backbenchers ever realised.

  • THE VALE ROYAL COMPANY and ITS RIVALS P. W.King
    THE VALE ROYAL COMPANY AND ITS RIVALS P. W.King It is a surprise to some that so rural a county as Cheshire should have had an iron industry, but it did. Its history was told at length in these Transactions some thirty-five years ago by Mr B. G. Awty. 1 A few years earlier Professor B. L. C.Johnson published a detailed study for the period 1688 to 1712 of works in which Philip Foley was interested.2 One of the ironworks they referred to was Vale Royal Furnace, near Vale Royal Abbey, on the eastern side of Delamere Forest near Northwich and Winsford in central Cheshire. As we shall see, it belonged successively to two firms of ironmasters, one of which is well known from the work of Awty and Johnson, whereas the other has hitherto remained obscure. From the sixteenth to the mid eighteenth century, iron was produced by an indirect process using charcoal as fuel. Before that, it was made by direct reduction in bloomeries, a process that persisted in parts of Lancashire until well into the eighteenth century. 3 In the indirect process the ore (commonly referred to as mine) was smelted in a blast furnace using charcoal and the resultant molten iron was tapped at intervals and cast as pig (or sow) iron or into cast-iron goods. Afterwards the metal was taken to a forge and remelted in a hearth called a finery, in which the excess carbon was oxidized; the resultant bloom of iron was drawn out into bar iron under a water- powered helve hammer, being reheated as necessary in another hearth called a chafery.
