It has been “borrowed” in large part from a fine unsigned typescript sent to me by the late Tim Woodman just before his death. He did not mention the name of the author. It does not seem that the author had used my book on Upton Scudamore, and he may have been unknown to Tim. I have made what I think are better guesses as to the identities of the two effigies based on his dating of them. I have added a note on the new plinths, and one or two other details. However the primary value of this appendix is due to the technical expertise of an unnamed scholar, who has obviously devoted an enormous amount of time to medieval effigies. (WS)] The two military effigies in the north chapel of the church of St Mary the Virgin, Upton Scudamore, are both mutilated and badly worn but sufficient detail remains, in each case, to identify aspects of the design and style of the figures, and to suggest approximate dates for their carving. Traces of thick paint remain in local areas on both effigies, probably as the result of more than one repainting of the figures. The original polychrome may still be preserved underneath this. The types of stone from which the effigies have been carved have not yet been determined. The worn condition of the two figures suggests that they were outside in the churchyard for a considerable period. Handsome new plinths have recently been made for the effigies paid for both by the parishioners and visitors to the church (which frequently include members of the family). The earlier figure depicts a knight wearing a long, sleeveless gown over a mail shirt (hauberk). He carries a long kite-shaped shield on his left side, supported by a strap (guige) over his right shoulder. He is shown with his left hand lying on the scabbard of his sword and his right arm, which is mostly lost, probably lay alongside the body with the hand resting on his right thigh or hip. The legs, which are broken off above the knees, were shown cross-legged (see the greater height of the right thigh above the base slab). The knight's head rests on a single cushion set diagonally. The base slab is badly broken, but on surviving portions of three edges it can be seen that it originally had a deeply hollowed chamfer. Widely separated along this are worn sprigs of foliage known in an architectural context as "stiff leaf". These features are consistent with a date of carving in the third quarter of the 13th century. The cross- legged attitude became increasingly popular from about the middle of the 13th century but around 1280 the fashion in ornamental foliage changed in favour of naturalistic leaves, where a multitude of real plants were represented. The relaxed hand positions and long, narrow shield would both be acceptable features of a figure of about 1270, a date which is about right for this effigy. Another important detail is the carving of the mail, which can be seen on the top of the right shoulder. This is shown as curved links in parallel lines which run vertically down the arm instead of in the more usual, horizontal direction. This direction is commonly found on 4 military effigies of the 13th and early 14th centuries made in south-west England. The feature has been claimed as a characteristic of work produced by masons associated with Wells and Bristol, but appears to have been somewhat less specific than this being rather a trait of work done in southwestern England in general.

    PREFACE in 1974 Enid and I Decided to Look for a House of Our Own As I

    PREFACE In 1974 Enid and I decided to look for a house of our own as I was due to retire in 1976. Gloucestershire we knew was a nice county in which to live. We had certain connections with it. On our days off we frequently toured the Cotswolds, we were then living in Henley-on-Thames. Added to this, in about 1910 my father considered buying the practice at Northleach and so becoming its local doctor, however, he went to Weobley in Herefordshire. His father, James Strachan Clarke who died in 1976 aged 45 or 46 had been a tenant farmer at Ashwick Grange, Marshfield and apparently the Land Agent of the people living at Ashwick Hall. Unfortunately, the records of ownership of the Hall were destroyed in the Bristol blitz during World War II so I know nothing about them. In the parish church there is a brass plate concerning him. The name is incorrect, he is called James Stephenson Clarke, this was an error on the part of my Aunt Agnes, his eldest daughter. In 1775 a certain John Clarke married Jane Stephenson, she is alleged to be the beauty of the Clarkes (though I would think, judging from the pictures, that my wife Enid, runs her a close second and is probably ahead of her). The name Stephenson became attached to the Clarkes until the present day. After a long search we saw a photograph of our cottage in the premises of Bloss, Tippett and Taylor of Bourton-on-the-Water and in 1976 bought it from Mr.

  • The Dropmore Papers (Add

    The Dropmore Papers (Add

    THE DROPMORE PAPERS (ADD. MSS. 58855-59494) ROBERT A. H. SMITH WILLIAM WYNDHAM, Baron Grenville (1759-1834), Prime Minister from 1806 to 1807 and earlier, from 1791 to 1801, Foreign Secretary under Pitt the Younger, left on his death over 300 portfolios of letters and papers and over 150 letter- and precis-books, the fruits of a public career of some fifty years. The Dropmore Papers, named after Grenville's country home, were acquired by the Department of Manuscripts in 1970. The arrangement of this large collection had been started, apparently at various times, during Grenville's lifetime but remained uncompleted at his death and thereafter. A few historians had used the papers when they were in the possession of the Fortescue family, but they were generally known only through the ten-volume Historical Manu- scripts Commission Report (1892-1927), almost entirely the work of one man, Walter Fitzpatrick.^ J. Holland Rose once declared that he found *no striking phrase which glitters amidst the leaden mass of [Grenville's] speeches and correspondence'.^ Grenville, a slow taciturn man, was rarely a witty or lively correspondent, but 'the leaden mass' remains both an unavoidable obstacle and an invaluable source for historians of Grenville's times. 'Fhis is partly because of Grenville's long public career, both in office and out, and the consequent bulk and scope of material, and partly because the papers of several of his contemporaries, most notably those of Henry Dundas and William Pitt, have been dispersed. The Dropmore Papers supplement other collections in the Department of Manuscripts, such as the Holland House, Auckland, Rose, Wellesley, Liverpool, Fox, and Leeds papers, and, furthermore, join other Grenville family collections acquired earlier, namely papers of his father George Grenville; of Earl Temple, Lord Grenville's uncle; and of George, Marquis of Buckingham, and Thomas, the politician and bibliophile.

    Covington Family History As Pertains to Our Lineage, I Came Upon Eurie Coving- Ton White’S, Covington Cousinsa, Which Seemed to Be A

    James L. (Lou) Poole 328 Forest Grove Drive, Richardson, TX Not For Publication [email protected] Book 3, Chapter 3 Covington Family (Revised & Expanded) The Covington family is connected to the McCown family through the marriage of Mar- tha Wall Covington to James J. Gathings [Chapter 2] on 5 April 1838.1 Their daughters, Mattie (Martha Wall Texanna) and Emma Davis Gathings, both married James McCown [Chapter 1]. COVINGTON NAME The following discussion of the Covington name was taken from Covington’s Covington and Kin, and is apparently the result of earlier research by Vaden Covington. “Covington originates from ‘Kolbin’ which the Norseman, Turgesin brought with him when the invaded Northern Ireland in 831 A.D. It was translated by the Irish as ‘Covan.’ In the migration to Scotland the name became ‘Cova.’ In the further migration to England the name became ‘Cov,’ ‘Ing’ meaning people, and ‘Ton’ meaning town. Thus town of Cov’s people or Covington.”2 From the above source, it is apparent that the name ‘Covington,’ or its derivative (or antecedent), is known in Ireland, Scotland and England. As with any theory of the origin of names, there are not surprisingly different versions of the origin, any or all of which (at least in part) may be true. Given the above theory that the name migrated from Norsemen to Irishmen to Scots to Englishmen, Mr. Covington provides us with a sampling of the name origin from each country. Ireland. “The name Covington originated from the old Norse name Kolbeinn. In Ireland, it translated as Columban and by some scribes Colban.

In order to avoid confusion, a date which in the modern calendar would be written 2 February 1714 is written 2 February 1713/4 - i.e. the baptism, marriage or burial occurred in the 3 months (January, February and the first 3 weeks of March) of 1713 which 'rolled over' into what in a modern calendar would be 1714. • Civil registration was introduced in England and Wales in 1837 and records were archived quarterly; hence, for example, 'born in 1840Q1' the author here uses to mean that the birth took place in January, February or March of 1840. Where only a baptism date is given for an individual born after 1837, assume the birth was registered in the same quarter.

A government for the new state of Iraq was formed in November 1920, with Emir Feisal being proclaimed King of Iraq on 23 August 1921. The United Kingdom signed a treaty with Iraq in October 1922 defining the relationship between the two sovereign states. This treaty imposed limits on the sovereignty of Iraq and maintained British interests in the country. In 1925, the area around Mosul, which was rich in oil deposits, was ceded to Iraq from Turkey.
