  • Post-Medieval and Modern Resource Assessment
    THE SOLENT THAMES RESEARCH FRAMEWORK RESOURCE ASSESSMENT POST-MEDIEVAL AND MODERN PERIOD (AD 1540 - ) Jill Hind April 2010 (County contributions by Vicky Basford, Owen Cambridge, Brian Giggins, David Green, David Hopkins, John Rhodes, and Chris Welch; palaeoenvironmental contribution by Mike Allen) Introduction The period from 1540 to the present encompasses a vast amount of change to society, stretching as it does from the end of the feudal medieval system to a multi-cultural, globally oriented state, which increasingly depends on the use of Information Technology. This transition has been punctuated by the protestant reformation of the 16th century, conflicts over religion and power structure, including regicide in the 17th century, the Industrial and Agricultural revolutions of the 18th and early 19th century and a series of major wars. Although land battles have not taken place on British soil since the 18th century, setting aside terrorism, civilians have become increasingly involved in these wars. The period has also seen the development of capitalism, with Britain leading the Industrial Revolution and becoming a major trading nation. Trade was followed by colonisation and by the second half of the 19th century the British Empire included vast areas across the world, despite the independence of the United States in 1783. The second half of the 20th century saw the end of imperialism. London became a centre of global importance as a result of trade and empire, but has maintained its status as a financial centre. The Solent Thames region generally is prosperous, benefiting from relative proximity to London and good communications routes. The Isle of Wight has its own particular issues, but has never been completely isolated from major events.

    The Court Post Office BRITISH STAMPS Her Majesty is on record as having referred to the Royal Family as ‘The Firm’ and, like any successful business, it has to process large quantities of incoming and outgoing mail.

  • Charles I: the Court at War
    6TH NOVEMBER 2019 Theatres of Revolution: the Stuart Kings and the Architecture of Disruption – Charles I: The Court at War PROFESSOR SIMON THURLEY In my last lecture I described what happened when through choice or catastrophe a monarch cannot rule or live in the palaces and places designed for it. King James I subverted English courtly conventions and established a series of unusual royal residences that gave him privacy and freedom from conventional royal etiquette. Although court protocol prevailed at Royston, there was none of the grandeur that the Tudor monarchs would have expected. Indeed, from our perspective Royston was not a palace at all, just a jumble of houses in a market town. Today we turn our attention to King Charles I. In a completely different way from his father he too ended up living in places which we would hesitate to call palaces. But the difference was that he strove at every turn to maintain the magnificence and dignity due to him as sovereign. On 22 August 1642 King Charles raised his standard at Nottingham signalling the end of a stand-off with Parliament and the beginning of what became Civil War. Since the 10th January, when Charles had abandoned London, after his botched attempt to arrest five members of parliament, he had been on the move. Hastily exiting from Whitehall, he arrived late at Hampton Court which was quite unprepared to receive the royal family; it was cold and only partially furnished when Charles entered his privy lodgings. But the king’s main concern was security, not comfort, and preparations were undertaken at lightning speed for the king and queen to move to the safety of Windsor Castle.

  • Audley End Audley End
    UTTLESFORD DISTRICT COUNCIL AUDLEY END AUDLEY END TL 525383 GRADE I A house of C17 origins beside a mid C19 parterre garden, with pleasure grounds by Richard Woods, surrounded by a C18 park conceived and partly laid out by Lancelot Brown between 1762 and 1767. HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT Audley End was built between c. 1605 and 1614, on the site of the abbey of Walden, for Thomas Howard, first earl of Suffolk. His surveyor was Bernard Jannssen and in 1614 Suffolk began to lay out extensive formal gardens. Following conviction for embezzlement however he suffered great financial trouble and his property declined. Suffolk died in 1626, leaving his son Theophilus to bear the twin burdens of his debts and enormous maintenance costs. When James the third earl inherited in 1640 the situation had not improved and after the Restoration the house and some parkland were sold to Charles II in 1668. Extensive works to the house were undertaken by Christopher Wren (1632-1723) but successive monarchs showed little interest in the property which in 1701 was returned to the Howards and settled on Henry, earl of Bindon who assumed the title of sixth earl of Suffolk in 1708. The sixth earl commissioned Sir John Vanbrugh (1664-1726) to make improvements which resulted in demolition of part of the house, after which the property passed to Charles William Howard, seventh earl who died in 1722 at the age of twenty nine. The estate was left to his younger uncle, Charles Howard, while the title passed to his elder uncle, Edward. When Edward died, Charles became the ninth earl and in 1725 he commissioned a plan for a great formal garden by the French architect Dubois.

  • A Highland Paradise
    A Highland paradise Balmoral Castle, Scotland A home of Her Majesty The Queen The product of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert’s enthusiasm for the Highlands, Balmoral remains a much- loved home of the Royal Family. Mary Miers looks at the history of the castle and its role as a sporting estate Photographs by Paul Barker enjoying all the activities that have come to identify the royal Highland holiday—picnic- ing and excursions into the hills, shooting, dancing, attending Highland games and listening to piping. three years later, they were back, sailing from osborne up the west coast to tour the islands and then spending a month at the Marquis of abercorn’s ardverikie estate on Loch Laggan, where albert first donned a kilt, Landseer was a guest and they got their first prolonged taste of the infamous Highland weather. It did not put them off; indeed, the royal love of remote, cold places, and their stamina for enduring the elements and the dis- comforts of long outdoor expeditions, is legendary. earlier tourists had come north to observe the sublime; the royal Family relished the full physical experience, get- ting out into the wilds and pitting them- selves against the elements. as osborne neared completion on the Isle of Wight, Victoria and albert set their hearts Fig 3: The castle drawing room in 1857, one of 11 interior views by James Roberts on acquiring a Highland holiday home. and then, a fortuitous accident occurred: the route, to be greeted by a pageant of piping, included the neighbouring estates of Mar.
