About the year 1150, Pain de Beaucharap and Roese his wife, relict of JefFery de Mandeville, founder of Walden Abbey, established a Priory at Chicksand for Nuns and Canons of the Order of St. Gilbert of Sempringham ; which in 1538 was dissolved, and in the following year a grant was made of its site to Richard Snow. Towards the close of Queen Elizabeth's reign, it was purchased of the Snow family by Sir John Osborn, Knight, ancestor of the present proprietor. At this time the Mansion is the residence of Thomas Potter Macqueen, Esq., the county member. The Priory, which is in the Hundred of Clifton, about a mile from Shefford, remains extra-parochial, and exhibits, as will be seen in the annexed Plate, much of a monastic appearance. The principal or car- riage front has on the ground-floor seven trefoil-headed windows, with labels ; in the centre is a porch with pinnacles richly ornamented ; the second story has the same number of windows, with a small oriel, the other front shewn in our View is of the same character ; this portion of the building is stuccoed. The offices which abut against the man- sion are brick with stone dressings. The whole is surmounted with a heavy-looking and high roof. The extreme ends of the principal fronts are strengthened by buttresses with a pinnacled summit. About the middle of the seventeenth century, the south and east fronts were either rebuilt or altered under the superintendance of Ware, a celebrated architect in his day, but the more recent restorations were made by the late Mr. James Wyatt, 1814. The predecessor of the present owner, the late General Sir George Osborn, filled the windows with stained glass in the antique style, and deposited in the contiguous cloisters various curiosities, containing, amongst other things, some sepulchral remains, dug up near the Priory. The hall, chapel, and some of the adjoining do- mestic offices have stone roofs, vaulted and groined. The quadrangle within the cloisters measures sixty-four feet by fifty-one feet six inches. Sir John Osborn, the present and fifth Baronet, Colonel of the Bed- fordshire Militia, was born in the year 1772, and married, in 1809, Frede- rica Augusta, daughter of the late Sir Charles Danvers, Baronet, by whom he has issue five sons and two daughters. Sir John succeeded to the title upon the death of his father, the late General Sir George Osborn, in June, 1818. This family has for centuries held important trusts under different British monarchs. During the civil wars of King Charles's reign, the Osborns were distinguished Royalists, and some of the family blood was spilt in that monarch's cause. Sir John, the first Baronet, died in 1698, at the age of 83, and was succeeded by his only son of the same name, who was twice married. He had for successor, in 1720, ———————————— J — — ——— —————— —— CHICKS AND PRIORY, BEDFORDSHIRE. his grandson, Sir Danvers, third Baronet. Sir Danvers married, in 1740, Mary, daughter of George, Earl of Halifax, by whom he had two sons, the elder of whom, the late Sir George Osborn, succeeded him in 1753. This gentleman was twice married. By his first wife, Elizabeth, eldest daughter and co-heiress of John Banister, Esq., to whom he was married in the year 1771, he had an only son, Sir John, the present and fifth Baronet.

This Seat, which ranks among the first in the country, lies about two miles to the north of Shefford, and was, for a considerable period, the country residence of the Byngs. The Manor belongs to Lord Ongley, who is a descendant, in the female line, from Sir Samuel Ongley, Knight, Sheriff of the County in 1703. His Lordship has also the ma- nor of Stamfordbury, in the same parish. The mansion at Southill Park was built, from designs by Holland, by the late Mr. Whitbread, upon purchasing the estate, in the year 1795. The south front, as re- presented in our engraving, consists of a centre and two wings, each surmounted with a pediment : it has also a portico and a corridor of the Ionic order.

  • Placenaming on Cape Breton Island 381 a Different View from The
    Placenaming on Cape Breton Island A different view from the sea: placenaming on Cape Breton Island William Davey Cape Breton University Sydney NS Canada [email protected] ABSTRACT : George Story’s paper A view from the sea: Newfoundland place-naming suggests that there are other, complementary methods of collection and analysis than those used by his colleague E. R. Seary. Story examines the wealth of material found in travel accounts and the knowledge of fishers. This paper takes a different view from the sea as it considers the development of Cape Breton placenames using cartographic evidence from several influential historic maps from 1632 to 1878. The paper’s focus is on the shift names that were first given to water and coastal features and later shifted to designate settlements. As the seasonal fishing stations became permanent settlements, these new communities retained the names originally given to water and coastal features, so, for example, Glace Bay names a town and bay. By the 1870s, shift names account for a little more than 80% of the community names recorded on the Cape Breton county maps in the Atlas of the Maritime Provinces . Other patterns of naming also reflect a view from the sea. Landmarks and boundary markers appear on early maps and are consistently repeated, and perimeter naming occurs along the seacoasts, lakes, and rivers. This view from the sea is a distinctive quality of the island’s names. Keywords: Canada, Cape Breton, historical cartography, island toponymy, placenames © 2016 – Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada Introduction George Story’s paper The view from the sea: Newfoundland place-naming “suggests other complementary methods of collection and analysis” (1990, p.

One of the points of difference between the bearings of the Royal and Parliamentary Burghs on the one hand and those of the I Police Burghs on the other lies in the fact that the former carry castles and ships to an extent which becomes almost monotonous, while among the latter these bearings are rare.

IV Editing he letters have been presented in a standardised format. Headers provide Tthe name of the sender and of the recipient, and a number by which each letter can be identified. The salutations and valedictions have been reproduced as they appear in the originals, but the dates when the letters were sent have been standardised and placed immediately after the headers. Due to the time it took for letters from England to reach Scotland, Lord James Ramsay had already sent Lady Susan Hay three before she joined the correspondence. This time lapse, and the fact that thereafter they started writing to each other on a more or less daily basis, makes it impossible to arrange the letters sensibly in order of reply. They have instead been arranged chronologically, with the number of the reply (where it can be identified) added to the notes appended to each letter.

    Henry Fox’s Drafts of Lord Hardwicke’s Speech in the Lords’ Debate on the Bill on Clandestine Marriages, 6 June 1753: A Striving for Accuracy Clyve Jones Before Hansard began publication in the early nineteenth century, the first regular and sustained reports of debates in Parliament were inaugurated in 1711 by Abel Boyer in his monthly Political State of Great Britain. In the middle of the eighteenth century the reporting of debates was forbidden by resolutions of both Houses, and such printed debates that have survived were usually written by reporters who had not heard them. Later on after 1774, when the prohibition of strangers was relaxed, there was an unprecedented printing of debates and various series of compilations were published. Before Boyer, however, the only records of debates in either the Commons or the Lords were personal ones taken by members or visitors to Parliament.1 And even after the first printing of debates by Boyer, many people, particularly those in the political elite, continued to obtain their Parliamentary information from personal accounts. These took various forms: notes taken in the Houses (sometimes written up afterwards into a more polished account, often in the form of a journal or diary, in which speeches appear to be written out in full),2 letters or parts of letters, separates (i.e., single or multiple sheets, often differing little from notes taken in the Parliament, and often concentrating on specific issues), and speeches (sometimes published, or circulated in manuscript). Often these reports consisted of lists of speakers followed by a summary of the arguments used, and occasionally they might include, in part, verbatim accounts of debates (or, at least, what look like verbatim accounts of speeches); even rarer were reports which were (or looked like) full verbatim accounts of a debate.
