  • Monypenny of Pitmilly
    Monypenny of Pitmilly Coat of Arms and Ancient Origins The arms of Monypenny are described as “Quarterly, 1st and 4th, or, a dolphin naiant azure, finned gules; 2nd and 3rd, gules three crosses crosslet fitchée issuing out of as many crescents argent.” (Sir John Balfour Paul: The Scots Peerage, 1904 - 1914) This means “1st and 4th quarters, gold with a blue dolphin with red fins drawn horizontally as if swimming; 2nd and 3rd quarters, red with three silver crosses having the three upper ends terminating in three little crosses and pointed like a dagger at the bottom, each one on top of a crescent with the points turned up.” Heraldic dolphins are strangely unlike the real creature and are shown with fins similar to a fish. The story of the Monypenny Family begins, as do the stories of many families, with a legend. Tradition has it that King Malcolm III Cænnmor of Scotland (See Scotland Generation Twenty-one), being obliged to flee after his father Duncan the Gracious was killed by Macbeth in 1040, found refuge with a wealthy French merchant named James Dauphin. When the Malcolm sought to recover his Kingdom, he asked his friend for a few pennies, whereupon James Dauphin replied, “Not a few pennies but many pennies”, and his two sons fought with the Malcolm. When the Kingdom was recovered, the King gifted to the eldest son James, the lands of Pitmilly, Fife; and married him to a lady related to Macduff, Thane of Fife. - - - or so the story goes. However, the first of an unbroken line begins with Ricardus de Moniepennie, and it is with him we will begin this genealogy.

  • 1 up the Garden Path Rye to Cranbrook
    Up the Garden Path Rye to Cranbrook Kent has long been known as the Garden of England, acknowledging the favourable soil and climate for agricultural production. These conditions equally suit the cultivation of domestic gardens and this part of Kent and Sussex contains a surprising variety of gardens to visit. Each garden reflects the idiosyncrasies of the individual characters who created them as well as the constraints of their distinctive locations. If only one excuse was needed to leave Rye on a garden trail, it would doubtless be to see Sissinghurst Castle – a couple of miles from Cranbrook – the most visited gardens in the county. Now owned by the National Trust, the gardens were originally designed, laid out and planted by the poet and novelist Vita Sackville West and her husband the diplomat and diarist Harold Nicolson. Wreaking a magical synthesis of their contrasting styles Harold, a classicist, and Vita, a romantic, created a series of gardens reflecting differing moods. An ingenious blend of formality and spontaneity produced an unexpected harmony that mirrored their unconventional but enduring marriage. An astonishing diversity of garden styles can be enjoyed with only a few diversions from the main roads that link Rye and Cranbrook. Perhaps the most unusual is a very special garden in the bleak wilderness of Dungeness. Under the brooding, looming presence of a nuclear power station, amongst the fishermen’s cottages and converted railway carriages randomly scattered over a shingle desert, Derek Jarman, the film director, fashioned an extraordinary garden in a landscape where you would defy anything to grow.

SIR EDWIN LUTYENS OM COMMEMORATIVE DINNER at THE ROYAL INSTITUTE OF BRITISH ARCHITECTS WEDNESDAY, 2 OCTOBER, 2019 2019 MARKS THREE IMPORTANT LUTYENS ANNIVERSARIES: ● The 150th anniversary of his birth ● The 75th anniversary of his death ● The centenary of the Cenotaph More details to follow soon by email (or by post for those without email). Attendance is not limited to Lutyens Trust members but they have priority for bookings until July 31, so please don’t delay in signing up. Portrait of Edwin Lutyens by Meredith Frampton of 1933. © The Art Workers’ Guild We look forward to seeing you there. 1 EDWIN LUTYENS IN FRANCE AND THE END OF AN ERA AT LE BOIS DES MOUTIERS By Martin Lutyens Le Bois des Moutiers at Varengeville-sur-Mer in Normandy is probably Edwin Lutyens’s best known house in France. Lutyens altered and enlarged an earlier villa there for Guillaume Mallet in 1898 and the house and its spectacular garden and woodlands remained in the hands of the Mallet family until earlier this year. The property had been on the market for many years and The Lutyens Trust had been involved in various plans to secure its future. A sale to a private buyer finally went through in March and it is to be hoped that this will result in the property being kept together and necessary conservation being carried out. Further information about the new owners’ plans will follow when known.
