    Lancaster Castle: the Rebuilding of the County Gaol and Courts

    Contrebis 2019 v37 LANCASTER CASTLE: THE REBUILDING OF THE COUNTY GAOL AND COURTS John Champness Abstract This paper details the building and rebuilding of Lancaster Castle in the late-eighteenth and early- nineteenth centuries to expand and improve the prison facilities there. Most of the present buildings in the Castle date from a major scheme of extending the County Gaol, undertaken in the last years of the eighteenth century. The principal architect was Thomas Harrison, who had come to Lancaster in 1782 after winning the competition to design Skerton Bridge (Champness 2005, 16). The scheme arose from concern about the unsatisfactory state of the Gaol which was largely unchanged from the medieval Castle (Figure 1). Figure 1. Plan of Lancaster Castle taken from Mackreth’s map of Lancaster, 1778 People had good reasons for their concern, because life in Georgian gaols was somewhat disorganised. The major reason lay in how the role of gaols had been expanded over the years in response to changing pressures. County gaols had originally been established in the Middle Ages to provide short-term accommodation for only two groups of people – those awaiting trial at the twice- yearly Assizes, and convicted criminals who were waiting for their sentences to be carried out, by hanging or transportation to an overseas colony. From the late-seventeenth century, these people were joined by debtors. These were men and women with cash-flow problems, who could avoid formal bankruptcy by forfeiting their freedom until their finances improved. During the mid- eighteenth century, numbers were further increased by the imprisonment of ‘felons’, that is, convicted criminals who had not been sentenced to death, but could not be punished in a local prison or transported.
  • A History of Lancaster and District Male Voice Choir

    A History of Lancaster and District Male Voice Choir

    A History of Lancaster and District Male Voice Choir From 1899 to 2013 this history is based on the writings of Roland Brooke and the first history contained in the original website (no longer operational). From 2013 it is the work of Dr Hugh Cutler sometime Chairman and subsequently Communications Officer and editor of the website. The Years 1899-1950 The only indication of the year of foundation is that 1899 is mentioned in an article in the Lancaster Guardian dated 13th November 1926 regarding the Golden Wedding Anniversary of Mr. & Mrs. R.T. Grosse. In this article it states that he was 'for many years the Conductor of the Lancaster Male Voice Choir which was formed at the end of 1899'. The Guardian in February 1904 reported that 'the Lancaster Male Voice Choir, a new organisation in the Borough, are to be congratulated on the success of their first public concert'. The content of the concert was extensive with many guest artistes including a well-known soprano at that time, Madame Sadler-Fogg. In the audience were many honoured guests, including Lord Ashton, Colonel Foster, and Sir Frederick Bridge. In his speech, the latter urged the Choir to 'persevere and stick together'. Records state that the Choir were 'at their zenith' in 1906! This first public concert became an annual event, at varying venues, and their Sixth Annual Concert was held in the Ashton Hall in what was then known as 'The New Town Hall' in Lancaster. This was the first-ever concert held in 'The New Town Hall', and what would R.T.

    Introduction and Study Guide This is the first edition of Speakers of the House of Representatives 1789 - 2009. With infor- mation that has never before been gathered into one volume, it not only includes detailed biographies of the 53 men and woman who have served as Speaker, but offers a wealth of supportive material that combines for a complete picture of the Speakers and the speaker- ship - the history, the power, and the changes. With detailed content, thoughtful arrangement, and several “user guide” elements, Speakers of the House of Representatives is designed for multiple levels of study. CONTENT Speaker Biographies This major portion of the work - comprises 54 detailed biographies that average 7 pages long. This section is arranged chronologically, beginning with the first Speaker — Frederick Muhlenberg, who began his term in 1789 - and ending with the current Speaker - Nancy Pelosi, who was elected in 2007 as the first female Speaker of the House. Each biography starts off with an image of the Speaker and dates of service, and thoughtfully categorized into logical subsections that guide the reader through the details: Personal History; Early Years in Congress; The Vote; Acceptance Speech; Legacy as Speaker; After Leaving the Speakership. Each biography is strengthened by direct quotations — easily identified in italics — of the Speaker, or influential colleagues of the time. In addition, scattered throughout the bio- graphical section are unique, original graphics - from autographs to personal letters - that not only give the reader an inside look at the Speaker, but also at the times during which he served. Biographies also include Further Reading, and cross references to Primary Docu- ments that appear later in the book.

    Civil War Causes http://www.etymonline.com/cw/apologia.htm APOLOGIA The material here presented is meant to illuminate certain aspects of American history from the Civil War era, but it is also meant to establish arguments and to answer other arguments, either among professional historians or average Americans. Civil War Causes Some of the chapters will give due appreciation of the military effort put forth by the South -- both in comparison to the North and in its own Economics right -- establish the legitimacy of the South's bid for independence, and Yankee Canards encourage respect for the will to fight shown by the people of the Mulattoes Southern states. Others will re-emphasize that racism and slavery were, Northern Racism and remain, national experiences. Still others will give economics and Slavery as History politics their proper roles as causes of the American Civil War.

    1 LANCASTER JUDGES’ LODGINGS UPDATE Newsletter of the Friends of Lancaster Judges’ Lodgings Issue no 44 August 2020 The Judges’ Lodgings in August The final decision for the Judges’ Lodgings to reopen for Bank Holiday weekend was made at the beginning of the month, so although work had been going on to make the JL ready in itself, as well as covering all the Covid-secure requirements, the pace of activity quickened somewhat now that an actual date had been set. Staff had to be brought back into the JL as a team, volunteers confirmed, rotas set, new training provided, final tidy up of garden, collection cleaning – a flurry of excitement tinged with apprehension, with a new normal looming ahead so very different from the old. By opening day, Friday 28 August, all was ready (at least unready bits didn’t show), the doors were opened wide and the new glass porch was revealed on the way into the entrance hall. The porch has doors opening either to the right or the left, so was immediately the start of the one- way system round the building. Discreet Covid-secure signs were in place, guiding the flow, regulating distances and offering hand sanitisation stations. Even the display furniture was brought into use. Staff are wearing visors, visitors must wear face coverings, but none of it detracts from the charm of the JL itself. Once through reception in the main hall the way led to and through the brand new Welcome Gallery.

    MG0096_F053_In02_It01_01 [Intelligencer Journal, 12 June 1978, page 1] 110th Anniversary Marked At James Buchanan’s Grave By Mary Beth Wagner Intelligencer Journal Staff How would you commemorate the 110th anniversary of the death of the 15th President of the United States, James Buchanan? The James Buchanan Foundation for the Preservation of Wheatland did it with a public promenade through Woodward Hill Cemetery, where Buchanan’s grave can be found. A small crowd gathered on Sunday afternoon for the promenade, led by John Francis Marion, prominent historian, author, and publisher from Philadelphia. The promenade began at the entrance of the cemetery and then proceeded to Buchanan’s grave. Interesting Features Before reaching Buchanan’s grave, Marion made note of some interesting features of the cemetery, using research from his latest book, “Famous and Curious Cemeteries,” in which Woodward Hill Cemetery is included. And it’s surprising how many tombstones look the same until someone outlins some of their specifics. Many of the stones in the cemetery are very old and, due to the fact that the cemetery is dated to the 19th century, are characteristic of the styles of that era. Marion pointed out many Victorian type stones where the decoration above them was an urn draped with cloth hewn out of the stone. Almost always, the urn is partially draped. However, Marion showed a variation of this type in the cemetery which was completely draped. ‘Open-Book’ Motif According to Marion, the “cross and crown” was a popular motif during the 19th century. The “open-book” motif was also used often.
