PREFACE ‘Det er min tro noget i at vare kommen af godt Folk.’—Holberg. THE first history of the Markham Family was written in 1601 by Francis Markham, brother of that unthrifty head of the family, Sir Robert Markham of Cotham, whose extravagance led to the sale of the estates in Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire. Francis Markham’s narrative embraces the period from the earliest times to the reign of Queen Elizabeth, with numerous illustrative genealogies and roughly drawn coats-of-arms. Although it remained in manuscript, it became the property of the antiquary St. Lo Kniveton,1 and was largely used by Thoroton in his ‘History of Nottinghamshire.’ For three generations from the death of Sir Robert, the last possessor of Cotham, the heads of the family of Markham were without a permanently established home. Moreover one of them had the misfortune to lose all his family papers by shipwreck. As soon as the family once more flourished, through the meritorious diligence and talent of Archbishop Markham, it was important that there should be faithful recorders in the family, to continue the record from the point where Francis Markham’s history breaks off. Fortunately this was the case. In 1783 the Archbishop recorded the fact, in the Heralds’ College, that he was descended from the Markhams of Cotham.2 In the same year his son George, afterwards Dean of York, commenced his researches by visiting Markham Church. He was then only twenty. In 1795 and 1796 George Markham resumed his researches into the history of the family with great diligence, ably assisted by his brother Osborne, who was a lawyer. George collected local information, while Osborne took down 1 Now the property of Sir Clements Markham, K.C.B. 2 Memorandum among the papers of Sir Isaac Herd. Memorandum dated November 18, 1783. V vi PREFACE the evidence of the Archbishop, and of his brothers George and Enoch, as to what was known by Major William Markham, their father, who was born in 1686. Major Markham was positive that his grandfather was the son of the last Sir Robert Markham of Cotham,1 and that his name was Daniel. The testimony of a man as regards his grandfather, but not beyond, is accepted by the Heralds, and was always taken down by Dugdale in his visitations, as evidence. On reference to Thoroton (2nd ed.) it was found that Sir Robert Markham had a son named Daniel. This was conclusive, for Thoroton (2nd ed.) was not published at that time. George and Osborne continued their investigations, both by collecting information from their uncles, and by visiting localities, and studying Thoroton and other works. The result was a collection of papers, and the commencement of a memoir which, however, was never finished.2 About forty years after the date of the researches of George Markham (the Dean of York), his nephew the Rev. David F. Markham, Vicar of Stillingfleet and Canon of Windsor, took up the subject. Posting from Stillingfleet to Windsor and back every year, he passed through Nottinghamshire. He visited the Markham sites, taking numerous notes and making sketches at Markham, Cotham, Laneham, Worksop Lodge, Newark, and Kirby Bellers; while the Hon. and Rev. Richard Cust, Rector of Belton, visited Sedgebrook for him, wrote a full account of the church, and had all the Markham entries extracted from the Registers in March 1836. Mr. Markham also received help from others, especially from old Mr. Bischof, an antiquary at Leeds. He personally made researches among the Harleian and Lansdowne Manuscripts, in the library at Lambeth, and in the Heralds’ College. In 1852 he completed a history which, however, still needed much revision from the author; and he died in the following year. Unaware that it had not received the necessary revision, his son printed it for private circulation in 1854. The title is ‘A History of the Markham Family, by the Revd. David Frederick Markham’ (Bowyer, Nichols and Sons, 1854), 116 pages, with ‘a shield of such coats as Markham of Cotham may rightly bear’; an initial shield and crest; wood engravings of the Markham tomb at Newark, the 1 ‘My grandfather was positive as to being the eldest, and that he was grandson to Daniel, son of Sir Robert Markham of Cotham’ (Letter from George Markham, Dean of York, to his brother Osborne Markham). 2 ‘Family Papers jointly belonging to me, the Admiral, and Osborne G. M., 1815.’ ‘Imperfect Memoirs of the Markham Family, G. M.’ PREFACE vii site of Cotham Hall, the tomb at Cotham, the tomb at Laneham, the house at Kirby Bellers, the lodge of Worksop, and portrait of Gervase Markham. The work is divided into four chapters, for the Markhams of Markham and Cotham, of Ollerton, Sedgebrook, and Becca: with a short preface, and a dedication to the author’s nephew, William T. Markham of Becca Hall. Since this history by the Rev. David F. Markham was printed in 1854, his son, Clements R. Markham, during a period of sixty years, has collected further information from numerous sources, which enables him to revise, correct, and make additions to his father’s work. The most important corrections are the following: (I) The railing letter to Sir Thomas Stanhope (p. 17) was not written by old Sir John Markham in the time of Henry VII, but by a youth of the Sedgebrook line, young John Markham, surnamed ‘Crouchback.’ (2) The duel and other discreditable matters referred to Gervase Markham the author, really belong to a very different man, namely Gervase Markham of the Sedgebrook line (pp. 39-42). (3) The Daniel Markham who made a will in 1690 was not Daniel son of Sir Robert Markham of Cotham, but a young native of Norwich entirely unconnected with the Markham family, (see p. 50). Numerous corrections of less importance were necessary. Information, collected since 1854, had accumulated in the note-books and papers of the Rev. David F. Markham’s son to such an extent that he felt that he would be doing what his father would have wished, if he put them together in a somewhat more permanent form. He had assisted his father by making some researches, and helping him with his work, in 1852. The present Memorials are based on that work. But the additions and corrections are so extensive that the author feels that he must assume the full responsibility for them. He has brought the record up to the latest date, and has added chapters on Markhams of Creaton and the United States. The arrangement is: Book I, Markhams of Markham and Cotham; Book II, Markhams of Ollerton; Book III, Markhams of Sedgebrook; Books IV and V, Markhams of Becca; Book VI, Markhams of Creaton and the United States; the books being divided into chapters. At the end of the second volume there is an Appendix containing Francis Markham’s notes on etymology and derivation of names, dated about A.D. 1600, and the Index. The illustrative coats-of-arms have been beautifully painted by Miss Mabel Markham. The whole forms two volumes of Markham Memorials. CLEMENTS R. MARKHAM.

  • A Brief History of Christ Church MEDIEVAL PERIOD
    A Brief History of Christ Church MEDIEVAL PERIOD Christ Church was founded in 1546, and there had been a college here since 1525, but prior to the Dissolution of the monasteries, the site was occupied by a priory dedicated to the memory of St Frideswide, the patron saint of both university and city. St Frideswide, a noble Saxon lady, founded a nunnery for herself as head and for twelve more noble virgin ladies sometime towards the end of the seventh century. She was, however, pursued by Algar, prince of Leicester, for her hand in marriage. She refused his frequent approaches which became more and more desperate. Frideswide and her ladies, forewarned miraculously of yet another attempt by Algar, fled up river to hide. She stayed away some years, settling at Binsey, where she performed healing miracles. On returning to Oxford, Frideswide found that Algar was as persistent as ever, laying siege to the town in order to capture his bride. Frideswide called down blindness on Algar who eventually repented of his ways, and left Frideswide to her devotions. Frideswide died in about 737, and was canonised in 1480. Long before this, though, pilgrims came to her shrine in the priory church which was now populated by Augustinian canons. Nothing remains of Frideswide’s nunnery, and little - just a few stones - of the Saxon church but the cathedral and the buildings around the cloister are the oldest on the site. Her story is pictured in cartoon form by Burne-Jones in one of the windows in the cathedral. One of the gifts made to the priory was the meadow between Christ Church and the Thames and Cherwell rivers; Lady Montacute gave the land to maintain her chantry which lay in the Lady Chapel close to St Frideswide’s shrine.

  • Mansfield Street
    DRAFT CHAPTER 11 Mansfield Street The block of Cavendish–Harley land to the north of Cavendish Square where Mansfield Street now stands was intended originally for gardens to the great mansion planned but never built facing the square by the 1st Duke of Chandos around 1720. Then came a proposal for a grid of residential streets on the estate, including Mansfield Street, but instead the site was excavated in 1725–6 for the bottom half of the Duke’s Marylebone Basin reservoir (described on page ###). That proved a commercial failure and the street-grid scheme had resurfaced by the 1740s, only to be undermined a decade later when Lord Foley built his large, detached mansion (Foley House) in extensive grounds alongside, and tried to appropriate most of the land to its north (see also page ###). A tussle then ensued between the Portland Estate, Foley and speculators concerning this land. In 1758 two builders, John Corsar and George Mercer, took a lease from the Estate of ground at the corner of Harley and Queen Anne Streets, where they erected several houses, the easternmost of which occupied a long plot that thereafter demarcated the south-western edge of Mansfield Street (since rebuilt as 3 Mansfield Street and 8 Queen Anne Street, see below). It was this speculation that prompted Lord Foley – who accused Corsar, Mercer and their confederates of acquiring the ground by ‘underhand means’ – to negotiate an advantageous lease of all the land north of Foley House from the elderly Duke and Duchess of Portland in order to prevent others from building there, with far-reaching consequences for the future planning of this corner of Marylebone (see pages ##, ##).1 The layout of the ground north of Foley House was only fully resolved with the appearance on the scene of the Adam brothers from 1767.

  • 'Daylight Upon Magic': Stained Glass and the Victorian Monarchy
    ‘Daylight upon magic’: Stained Glass and the Victorian Monarchy Michael Ledger-Lomas If it help, through the senses, to bring home to the heart one more true idea of the glory and the tenderness of God, to stir up one deeper feeling of love, and thankfulness for an example so noble, to mould one life to more earnest walking after such a pattern of self-devotion, or to cast one gleam of brightness and hope over sorrow, by its witness to a continuous life in Christ, in and beyond the grave, their end will have been attained.1 Thus Canon Charles Leslie Courtenay (1816–1894) ended his account of the memorial window to the Prince Consort which the chapter of St George’s Chapel, Windsor had commissioned from George Gilbert Scott and Clayton and Bell. Erected in time for the wedding of Albert’s son the Prince of Wales in 1863, the window attempted to ‘combine the two ele- ments, the purely memorial and the purely religious […] giving to the strictly memorial part, a religious, whilst fully preserving in the strictly religious part, a memorial character’. For Courtenay, a former chaplain- in-ordinary to Queen Victoria, the window asserted the significance of the ‘domestic chapel of the Sovereign’s residence’ in the cult of the Prince Consort, even if Albert’s body had only briefly rested there before being moved to the private mausoleum Victoria was building at Frogmore. This window not only staked a claim but preached a sermon. It proclaimed the ‘Incarnation of the Son of God’, which is the ‘source of all human holiness, the security of the continuousness of life and love in Him, the assurance of the Communion of Saints’.

    The Dilemma of Obedience: Persecution, Dissimulation, and Memory in Early Modern England, 1553-1603 By Robert Lee Harkins A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Ethan Shagan, Chair Professor Jonathan Sheehan Professor David Bates Fall 2013 © Robert Lee Harkins 2013 All Rights Reserved 1 Abstract The Dilemma of Obedience: Persecution, Dissimulation, and Memory in Early Modern England, 1553-1603 by Robert Lee Harkins Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Ethan Shagan, Chair This study examines the problem of religious and political obedience in early modern England. Drawing upon extensive manuscript research, it focuses on the reign of Mary I (1553-1558), when the official return to Roman Catholicism was accompanied by the prosecution of Protestants for heresy, and the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603), when the state religion again shifted to Protestantism. I argue that the cognitive dissonance created by these seesaw changes of official doctrine necessitated a society in which religious mutability became standard operating procedure. For most early modern men and women it was impossible to navigate between the competing and contradictory dictates of Tudor religion and politics without conforming, dissimulating, or changing important points of conscience and belief. Although early modern theologians and polemicists widely declared religious conformists to be shameless apostates, when we examine specific cases in context it becomes apparent that most individuals found ways to positively rationalize and justify their respective actions. This fraught history continued to have long-term effects on England’s religious, political, and intellectual culture.

The interest with which I have read his pages will I am sure be shared by all who have at heart the well-being of an Institution which occupies a unique place in English history, although happily there is not anything unique nowadays in the endeavour which the Magdalen Hospital makes in face of a gigantic evil. The story Mr. Compston tells gives abundant evidence of the change for the better in public opinion regarding this crying wrong and its remedy.
