  • A Cobbold Communion
    A Communion of Cobbolds This is a brief travelogue of two Cobbolds from Canada visiting England on the occasion of the 100th anniversary, and an associated gathering of the Cobbold Clan, to honour Felix Thornley Cobbold in the Ipswich Christchurch Mansion Museum on 16 October 2009. Entrance Hymn Tuesday Off we go…..13 October We, Richard T. C. (Dick) Cobbold and wife Jean (Jeannie) Cobbold (nee Potter), departed Ottawa and Toronto airports at 00dark on 13 October heading for London Heathrow airport. Philippa Burford (nee Cobbold), sister of Dick, met the arriving visitors and successfully navigated the rental car to her home in Wimbledon, accompanied by the dulcet tones of “Sheila” the GPS unit carried over by the visitors. Sheila had her own chosen path for the drive but with Dick, as driver, managing to bounce off only a few curbs with his “other-side North American driving proclivities” and following Philippa’s adroit shortcuts, Sheila’s incessant “recalculating” eventually converged at the chosen destination. At “Stonehenge” (1500 B.C. – Somewhat later) Wednesday…..A quick glass (it was past midnight by now), to bed, rise and breakfast, and it was off to Devon for Dick and Jeannie for an overnight visit with first cousin Constance Hiller (nee Cobbold, daughter of oldest of three Cobbold brothers Reynold, Robert and Temple, Dick’s father, sons all of Christian Chevallier and Olive Cobbold). Along the way the indomitable Sheila steered us through London’s SW outskirts, A3, M3, M25, M3 & A3 again etc onto the plains of Hampshire and Wiltshire, a touristy/photo stopover at Stonehenge, and on to the west of Honiton, the Colestocks home of cousin Constance and George Hiller, Stomorage by name.

During that time the club won the FA Cup and the UEFA Cup. He was appointed by John Cobbold and throughout his tenure at Ipswich the two Cobbold brothers, first John and then Patrick were Chairmen. Daily Telegraph obituary, 1st August 2009 “The club that was to prove the making of him was Ipswich Town, which appointed him manager in 1969. A few years earlier, it had unexpectedly risen to prominence with Ramsey at the helm, but since he had become the England coach it had reverted to being a small-town side presided over benignly by the Cobbold family. It was a set-up that allowed Robson to find his feet and then, working mostly with young players and almost no funds, to turn Ipswich unto one of the best sides in Europe”. Sunday Telegraph, Roy Hattersley, 2nd August 2009 “During his 13 years at Ipswich, the unfashionable East Anglian club became a major force in European football. Robson had played for England in 42 internationals, but his place in the football hall of fame was won as a manager”. Sunday Times, Hugh McIlvanney, 2nd August 2009 “Vindication of the conviction that he was equipped to be an outstanding manager came in a prolonged flood over more than a dozen years at Ipswich, where the FA Cup and the Uefa Cup were won and the provincial team’s supporters were thrilled by league form that Caption: Robson: his record as England twice earned the runners-up place in the top division”.

  • A BIOGRAPHY on ELIZABETH COBBOLD January 2020

For those who are new to the family Elizabeth Cobbold (1765-1824) #58 on the web family tree was the second wife of ‘Big’ John Cobbold, 3rd generation brewer at The Cliff, Ipswich. John is well nicknamed ‘Big’ not only for his astute growing of the family business for some 60 years but also for his procreation of 15 children with his first wife. His second Elizabeth gave him another 7 making 22 in total! Apart from taking on 15 stepchildren and adding another 7 herself Elizabeth was a remarkable lady as readers of the biography will discover. Dr Kate Kennedy, Writer and Broadcaster, Associate Director of the Oxford Centre for Life-Writing says: This is a sensitively written and meticulously researched biography. Its great affinity with its subject shines through, bringing to life a woman who should be remembered as one of those who set the precedent for women taking an active part in the arts and sciences. Elizabeth Cobbold, contemporary of Jane Austen, proved that women could take the stage in public life, be creative and respected for it. Novelist, poet, artist and scientist, she was also known for her philanthropy.

  • ELIZABETH COBBOLD GEORGIAN POLYMATH – January 2020 a REVIEW
    The Cobbold Family History Trust 14 Moorfields, Moorhaven, Ivybridge Devon, PL21 0XQ, UK Tel: + 44 (0) 1752 894498 www.cobboldfht.com [email protected] Patron: Lord Cobbold DL Ivry, Lady Freyberg ELIZABETH COBBOLD GEORGIAN POLYMATH – January 2020 A REVIEW Here is the first review of Elizabeth Cobbold Georgian Polymath written by Adele Mallen and reviewed by Jane Dismore. To suffer a severe head injury, and then turn the experience into a humorous poem, suggests rare qualities. In 1810, Elizabeth Cobbold, aged 45, second wife of John Cobbold, the Suffolk brewer, fell through an open cellar door in an Ipswich street, causing her family to fear for her life. Details of the operation to ascertain her injuries, carried out without anaesthetic in her parlour at Cliff House by the Orwell, were relayed to her concerned friend and protégé, the artist John Constable, while another artist hoped she would not die because ‘there are few like her, she is an original.’ Indeed she was, as this fascinating and well-researched book makes entertainingly clear. After telling a friend in verse that ‘the wound in my cranium has opened a way/For the muses bright phantoms poetic to stray’, Elizabeth Cobbold picked up once more the many creative and social strands of her life that justify her description in the book’s title, A Georgian Polymath. The energy, talent and determination of this woman, born Elizabeth Knipe in 1765, were remarkable and saw her succeed in areas generally reserved for men. A contemporary of Jane Austen, she was a poet, playwright, scientist and artist, celebrated for the art of paper cutting.

  • 1 an Exception in War and Peace: Ipswich Town Football Club, C
    Richard Mills, University of East Anglia Sport in History An Exception in War and Peace: Ipswich Town Football Club, c. 1907-1945 Richard Mills, University of East Anglia* This essay explores the development of a football club as a means of understanding its late adoption of professionalism and its unusual wartime conduct. Ipswich Town were the only Football League team not to kick a ball for the duration of the Second World War. Arguably, the underlying causes of the club’s inactivity in both global conflicts can be found in the patriotic and staunchly amateur ethos which permeated the organisation, resulting in a very late conversion to the professional game in 1936. When the Amateur Football Association (AFA) seceded from the Football Association (FA) in 1907, Town sided with the gentlemen amateurs and competed in the socially-exclusive Southern Amateur League until the season before the club adopted professionalism. The unique nature of Town’s evolution offers an opportunity to explore the decline of this branch of the game in the face of professional football, the protagonists who were caught up in it, and the relationship between football and civic pride. In wartime, the human and social continuities between the professional company and its amateur predecessor arguably proved to be more influential than the ruptures that resulted from a controversial inter-war abandonment of cherished amateur principles. Keywords: Football, War, Gentlemanly Amateurism, Professionalism, AFA The Chairman … proposed and it was unanimously resolved that the Club be closed down for the duration of the War. Ipswich Town FC Minute Book, 13 September 1939 The decision that Ipswich Town should abandon all football activities for the duration of hostilities was taken at a special meeting of the club’s directors only ten days after Britain declared war on Germany.

The first edition (it was a novel based on real life) was published in 1845 in 3 volumes (allowing 3 borrowers to read the book at the same time – 19th C marketing!) and it ran to another 4 editions in the next 2 years, so it was an instant success and has remained popular ever since.

Firstly, this year is the 75th anniversary of the opening of Holywells Park to the public in 1936. (In Victorian times the property was known as Holy Wells but today the single word spelling is widely adopted). Secondly, I received a letter pointing out that some writers had been confused as to the order in which these three homes were occupied and to my personal dismay, I realised it was not clear to me either. The Brewery was founded by Thomas Cobbold (1680-1752), a Maltster from Bury St Edmunds, at Harwich in 1723. His son, also Thomas (1708-1767) came into the business and due to the poor quality of the water in Harwich they moved it to The Cliff in Ipswich in 1746 and this is when the Cliff House (now The Brewery Tap, and very good it is too) was built and first occupied. Prior to this (but from what date we do not know) the family lived at the Manor House on St Margaret’s Green and they continued to live here until 1798. It was from the Manor House that Margaret Catchpole stole John Cobbold’s horse in 1797 and from the circular pond in nearby Christchurch Park that she rescued one of the Cobbold children. In1798 the founder’s grandson, John (1745-1835), (famed for his two wives Elizabeth I and Elizabeth II and 22 children) moved the family to Cliff House, but he and his parents had been buying parcels of land in that part of Ipswich since the 1740s and in 1811 John was able to buy Pitt’s Farmhouse which formed the basic U shape of the Holywells mansion which he built in 1814.

  • 2 Once a Caian... 07 Issue 6 FINAL
    ISSUE 6 MICHAELMAS 2007 GONVILLE & CAIUS COLLEGE CAMBRIDGE The Royal Opening of the Stephen Hawking Building The Zebras of Trinity Street The Milton Grundy Gift Six in a Row for Caius Boat Club George’s Secret Key to the Universe From the Director of Development The main aim of Once a Caian…, when we introduced this magazine three years ago, was to increase and enhance links between Caians of all generations living and working all around the world. We are all part of the same community and share the privilege of belonging to this remarkable institution, a living continuum of scholarship and fellowship stretching back to the Middle Ages. All of us have benefited from our association with the College and as a result many have been fortunate to find themselves in a position to make a generous contribution to the wellbeing of future generations of Caians. In this, the sixth issue of Once a Caian… brought to you under the inspired editorship of Mick Le Moignan (2004), the mutual benefit to Caians and their College is celebrated. The Stephen Hawking Building, our award-winning new student accommodation in West Road, is only there because of the generosity of two thousand Caians and friends of the College. Many of these benefactors took great pride and pleasure in coming back to Cambridge to admire the results, both on the occasion of the Royal Opening by the Chancellor, HRH Prince Philip, and at our May Week Party for benefactors. In this issue we celebrate links between the College and the Caian community in many different ways, by commemorating our Catholic martyrs, through hearing about the relationship of the Cobbold family to the College and by enjoying another student escapade – the ‘Zebra Crossing’ prank.

Our Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Cobbold née Knipe, 1764-1824; second wife of John Cobbold, 1745-1835) is well known for her many talents in literary, artistic and scientific fields but perhaps best known for her paper-cut Valentines some of which were displayed at the Trust’s exhibition at Glemham Hall last summer. The Trust is reporting this month (see Cobboldiana Deposited for Jul 09) that it has made a highly significant addition to it’s collection of her paper-cuts by the purchase of a further 11 from the top collection in the USA. Here is the story. Over 30 years ago Nancy Rosin of New Jersey USA started collecting Valentines and Expressions of Love. She and her husband Henry built up a huge, beautiful and truly remarkable collection which forms a rare and valuable commentary on the loves and lives of our ancestors through war, civil war and uncivil peace, through political and economic unrest and perhaps most importantly through the personal delights and dismays of family life. (More at www.victoriantreasury.com) Nancy is President of the National Valentine Collectors Association and on the board of the Ephemera Society of America and their collection must be the largest and the best in America if not the World. Nancy is a consummate professional in her subject but more importantly she has formed a strong emotional bond with each and every item in her collection.
