Mccalmont, Dermot Hugh Bingham (Major) (1887 ~ 1968)
Breeder (8), Owner (0), Jockey (J)

Associated Places: Ballylinch Stud, Co Kilkenny_. Ireland; Mount Juliet. Thomastown, Co Kilkenny, lreland

Description:

Dermot Mccalmont will always be remembered as the owner of the most astounding two-year—old to grace the Turf,
Theyyffetrarch. Born in 1887, he was to inherit most of his fortune from VQo__l_onelV_l:l_a_[_(y  (1861-1902), owner
of the Trl_Qle_Qrgwn winner lsinglass. in his early days he rode over fences and won the Grand Military Gold Cup on
his own horse at Sandown Park. The trainer _H_enry _Per_sse, (‘Atty' Persse) was his cousin and offered him an
extraordinary looking blotchy grey colt he had bought at Doncaster at cost price. The youngster - to be named The
Tetrarch ~ was unbeaten in all his seven starts as a ‘uvehile, and was winter favourite for the Derby. but injury
prevented his racing again. He founded a dynasty for speed at his owner's Ballylinch Stud in Co. Kilkenny, and was
sire and grandsire of Dermot McCalmonl‘s two winners of the 2000 Qu_i_neas.

Other good horses campaigned by the Major included Slide On and Piccadilly, both winners of the lrish Derby.

Dermot Mccalmont was for many years Master of the Kilkenny Hounds. He hunted up until a year before his death.

more than that. He seems to me-

HEADLINE: Property: Househunter Patrixbourne, Kent

BODY:

This Jacobean house might look authentic, but it was actually rebuilt 20 years ago after a major disaster. The
previous owner had almost finished restoring the 16th-century, five-bedroom house when it caught fire and
was almost totally gutted. He lost heart and couldn't face starting all over again, so sold what was left to the
current owner, who was experienced in-house restoration. Mostly old materials were used, and the original
features have been replaced inside so that the house now has the character of an old one, but with the benefit
of modern construction - in other words no creaks. Patrixbourne House is in the centre of Patrixbourne

village, near Canterbury, Kent with around half an acre of garden. It is for sale for pounds 450,000 from
Calcutt Maclean (01233 812060).

The Murray of
Broughton Papers (D/2860)

 

Summary
PAGE MENU

The Murray of Broughton Papers comprise c.1,000
Summang documents (correspondence, legal papers, rentals,
Backgrglirfi surveys, etc), c.1625-1918 (but mainly 1664-1802),
The papers relating principally to the Co. Donegal estate of the

Murray family of Broughton, Wigtownshire, and
Cally, Gatehouse-of-Fleet, Kircudbright.

I

Background

The Murray family obtained a Plantation grant of
lands in south-west Donegal in 1610, and by 1620
had engrossed most of the baronies of Boylagh and
Banagh (minus churchlands) and secured their
erection into the two manors of Castlemurray and
Ballyweel by royal patent, of which there is an early
17th century transcript among the papers. As

Dr Graeme Kirkham remarks, in an article cited at
the end of this description of the archive, the estate
was situated '... in parcels around Donegal town,
Ardara and Killybegs, including large parts of the
parishes of Killaghtee, Killymard, Killybegs, Killcar
and lnishkeel. ...'

Even in the late 18th century, it contained over
40,000 statute acres, with a further 25,000 let to Lord
Conyngham — the Conynghams claimed in perpetuity
and the Murrays claimed by determinable leases. Part
of the archive is taken up with documentation of this

http ://proni.nics. gov.uk/records/private/murray.htm 8/25/00

Page 2 of 5

and other major lawsuits over title. The outcome of
the Conyngham lawsuit is not recorded, but the
Conynghams appear to have retained possession of
the disputed lands. The principal places of note on
the estate were the town and parliamentary borough
of Killybegs, and the village of Mount Charles,
where the Conynghams had a seat and from which
they took one of their titles.

I

The papers

The papers’ principal significance lies in the light
they throw on economic conditions in a remote area
of Ulster, particularly in the late 17th and early 18th
centuries. The survey material is especially
noteworthy. Of the correspondents, those who are of
interest in their own right include William (Speaker)
Conolly of Castletown, Co. Kildare, General Henry
Conyngham of Slane, Co. Meath (d. 1706),
Conyngham’s widow, Lady Shelburne, and
Conyngham’s descendant, William Burton
Conyngham (d. 1796), a founder of the Royal Irish
Academy and of the Kildare Street Club, Dublin, and
the developer of Burton Port at The Rosses, Co.
Donegal.

The letters, which run from the late 17th century to
the late 18th century are mostly from Robert Spence
of Donegal town, Capt., Thomas Knox, James
Hamilton of Mount Charles, Co. Donegal, Andrew
Patton and Henry McDowell, successive estate
agents, and contain many shrewd comments on the
development of the estate. The shortage of money in
1704 provokes this comment to Alexander Murray
from Lady Shelburne, wife of General Henry
Conyngham, Murray’s largest single Irish tenant and
head agent for the Irish property, who was then
serving in Spain:

’... Mr Conyngham told you there was so great an
arrear upon your estate and that he could not get

http://proni.nics. gov.uk/records/private/murray .htm 8/25/00


murray.htm Page 3 of 5

ready money enough out of both his and yours to pay
the crown rent. This I can aver, that out of a year and
a half’s rent ( 1,500) due in that country I cannot at
this time command 50 in money but am forced to
take cattle, butter, etc, at such rates as the tenants
will please to give them and after being at the
expense to bring them to Dublin, sell them at five or
six shillings in the pound less, and even this way
have no hopes of getting in the arrear ...' .

The famine of 1728-1729 caused the devastation of
estates in this region because, as James Hamilton
reported: ‘Capt. Henry Conyngham's tenants, though
bound in firm leases for four years ending next May,
are throwing them up daily. I have written pressingly
to him to Brussels, where he now is, to come over
this spring and give his tenants abatement -
otherwise he will have a waste estate. Col
Montgomery's tenants have many of them run away —
it was so high set that I could not get the rents
collected so I quit it at last All Saints. There's a ship
lying now at Killybegs belonging to New England
that has indented with as many passengers as she can

carry

The agent complained about the inactivity of the
Murrays during the crisis. But immediately thereafter
the disappearance of many tenants compelled them to
a re-assessment of estate policy based on a detailed
survey of the estate (transcribed in full in PRONI's
list) by Thomas Addi of Donaghadee, Co. Down.
This was conducted in 1731, and alongside it are the
comments made on it by Alexander Murray to James
Hamilton. To procure tenants for the estate Addi
advertised in Armagh, Antrim, Lurgan, Lisbum,
Belfast, Randalstown, Newtownards, Ballywalter,
Greyabbey, Bangor and Comber as well as in every
town within a forty-mile radius of the estate, the
advertisements being ‘as cautiously and well worded
as possible‘.

The late 18th century correspondence is concerned

inter alia with the renewal of the Conynghams' huge
leasehold interests under the Murrays, the

http ://proni.nics. gov.uk/records/private/murray.htm 8/25/00


murray.htm Page 4 of 5

unprofitability of James Murray’s Donegal estate and
the desirability of selling it.

Some of the papers of the period c. 1625-1699 relate
in whole or in part to the Murrays’ Scottish estates.
From an early date the link between the Killybegs
estate and the Murray seats in southern Scotland
(Broughton and Cally) was provided by several
merchants from Donaghadee, notably Sam Smith,
William Pinkstan and Francis McMinn, as will as
Isaac and George Macartney of Belfast during the
early 18th century. They also looked after the
material comforts of the family, which were supplied
from Dublin.

This archive complements the Broughton and Cally
archives in the Scottish Record Office, Edinburgh,
whose range and quality is indicated in an article by
D.A. Verschoyle entitled ’The Background to a
Hidden Age’, in The Donegal Annual, Vol. vi, No. 2,
1965. There has been a recent and important study of
the Murray of Broughton estate in Co. Donegal by
Dr Graeme Kirkham, entitled "'No more to be got off
the Cat but the Skin": Management, Landholding and
Economic Change on the Murray of Broughton
Estate, 1670-1755 ', published in Donegal History
and Society: Interdisciplinary Essays on the History
of an Irish County, edited by William Nolan, Liam
Ronayne and Mairead Dunlevy (Geography
Publications, Dublin, 1995).

The Conollys of Castletown

William Conolly

William Conolly, later known as "Speaker Conolly", was born in 1662 in
Ballyshannon, Co. Donegal, the son of a publican. He was of humble
origins but succeeded in becoming the richest man in Ireland. He had a
yearly income of 525,000 and in his Drapiers Letters, Swift wrote that if
Wood's halfpence became current, Mr. Conolly would have required
240 horses to bring his half-year's rent from Dublin to Castletown -- and
two or three great cellars in his house for storage. He became a legend
in his own lifetime and one petitioner wrote "whatsoever you undertake
God prospers". He became so popular and famous that many parents  
named their children after him and so there was William Conolly Conyngham, William Conolly Coan
and William Conolly McCaus|and. Making sure of the two fold patronage of Mr. & Mrs. Conolly,
George Finey of Celbridge, agent to William Conolly, called his daughter Williamina Katherina.

   

Speaker Conolly's Wealth: William studied law in Dublin, qualified as a solicitor in 1685 and later
as a barrister. He was an agent for Captain James Hamilton, for the Duke of Ormonde and for two
elderly maiden ladies who left him a fortune. He accumulated further wealth on forfeited estates after
the Williamite wars. As he was an Irishman and a Protestant, many families chose to sell to him in
preference to English landlords. In 1703 he purchased approximately 10,000 acres of forfeited lands
in Meath, Westmeath, Roscommon and Wexf'ord. He later acquired lands in Waterford, Donegal,
Fermanagh, Dublin, Kildare and in Wales. In 1709 Thomas Dongan was obliged to sell him his
estates in Kildrought, Castletown, Moortown and Collinstown which amounted to 1,730 acres. His
marriage to an heiress, Katherine, daughter of Sir Albert Conyngham, allied him to many of the most
powerful Protestant families in Northern Ireland. They had no children.

Public Life & Landlord: Conolly was amongst a circle of landlords who were interested in showing
Ireland's prosperity, expertise and craftmanship by making the country houses more beautiful and by
encouraging a higher standard of art and craft. When he arrived in Celbridge in 1709 his tenants
lived in thatched cabins and he complained that they were all beggars. He insisted that in future they
would build houses of stone with chimneys and windows. Following his election as a Member of
Parliament for Donegal in 1715 he was appointed Speaker of the Irish House of Commons. In 1717
he-was chosen as one of the three Lord Justices to administerthe government of the country in the
absence of the Lord Lieutenant but his nomination was resented by many of the new settlers.

The first home of William Conolly was at Rodanstown, Kilcock, and it continued to be his country
residence until he came to live at Castletown. Capel Street was the centre of his political activities
where he lived in commanding elegance for fourteen years. His brilliant vermillion and gold state
coach added distinction to the neighbourhood. William died of a heart attack in 1729 and on his last
journey from Dublin to Celbridge he was accompanied by a huge number of mourners, wearing linen
scarves of Irish manufacture. He was buried in the vault in The Death House at St. Mochua's
Church.

Katherine Conolly

Katherine Conolly was 67 years of age when her husband died. She
was to survive him by 23 years, living at Castletown or in the great
house in Capel Street. Mrs. Conolly had always shared her husband's
political interests and after his death people continued to flock to the
Capel Street house to enlist her support. She continued to perpetuate
his memory by building the Death House, the Collegiate College, the
Obelisk and the Wonderful Barn. She was renowned for her generosity

_ to her friends and to the poor. All her letters were handwritten and at the
'’ age of ninety she could read a newspaper by candlelight without
glasses. Katherine was succeeded in Castletown by her nephew William
Conolly who was married to Lady Anne Wentworth, daughter of Thomas
Wentworth, Earl of Stafford. However, William died two years later in

 

http://www.countyki1dare.net/History/page8.htm 29/03/01


Ce1bridge.Net — A History of Celbridge / The Conollys of Castletown Page 2 of 4

1754 and was succeeded by his son Thomas.

Thomas and Lady Louisa Conolly

Lady Louisa: Thomas Conolly married Lady Louisa Lennox, daughter of
the Duke of Richmond, in 1758 when he was 24 years of age and she was
15. Lady Louisa loved Castletown and under her direction for 63 years the
great house came to represent all that was comfortable and pleasant in
Irish country life. Cottages, lodges, bathing houses and temples sprang up '
about the estate. It was generally agreed that she was the kindest, wisest
and most generous of‘ all creatures, having by comparison with her
husband a goodly share of many virtues.

Lady Louisa was a "most accurate calculator" and used money and .
materials with the greatest economy. Stone for building was quarried on the 
estate and timber supplied from her own saw pit. She was also her own architect and relied on good
tradesmen to advise and carry out her plans. The pleasure of giving filled her whole life. She was
kind and generous to the poor and provided them with free education and an industrial school for
employment. Lady Louisa died in 1821 in a tent on the Castletown lawn where she could see and
admire the beautiful house which she loved so much.

 

Thomas Conolly: By the unanimous opinion of Lady Louisa's sisters, Thomas
Conolly was a silly tiresome boy. They agreed that his only redeeming qualities
were his love for Louisa and his unquestioned generosity. He had a great
appetite for Irish politics but his ideas and opinions were limited and confused.
e pursued a will-of-the-wisp policy which at times aggravated his friends. He
as a poor statesman and a worse orator.

 

Rising of 1798

Thomas Conolly succeeded in averting rebellion in Celbridge in 1798. He
pleaded with his tenants not to get involved in the rising but despite all his efforts
he could not prevent many of the enraged people from joining the ranks of the United lrishmen which
he strongly opposed. He and other prominent landlords formed Yeomanry Corps to act as a
volunteer home guard to help to maintain law and order. The regular troops were posted along the
coast to prevent any attempt at invasion by the French.

 

The rebellion cast a gloom over Castletown as the Conollys had relatives on both sides. Tom
Conolly opposed rebellion while Lady Sarah Napier of Oakley Park, sister of Lady Louisa, was a
committed rebel. Lord Edward Fitzgerald, nephew of Lady Louisa, was leader of the United lrishmen
in Leinster.

Celbridge was always in danger of being attacked by rebels coming from their camps at Timahoe
and Donadea. This resulted in Colonel Napier of Oakley Park fortifying his house and when a
company of Derry Militia arrived to protect Castletown House, he and his family moved in with the
Conollys. They secured themselves in the house and were protected by eighteen soldiers who slept
on the floor of the Long Gallery.

On May 21 st, 1798 Lady Louisa wrote: "This last week has been a most painful one to us.
Maynooth, Ki/cock, Leix/ip and Celbridge have had part of a Scotch Regiment quartered at each
place and every day threatening to burn the towns. I have spent days in en1rea1ies and threats, to
give up the horrid pikes. Some houses burnt at Al/cock yesterday produced the effect. Ma ynooth
held out yesterday though some houses were burnt and some people punished. This morning the
town of Leix/ip are bringing in their arms. Celbridge as yet holds out though five houses are now
burning."

One June 1st she writes again: "There have been skirmishes in this neighbourhood; 200 of them
forced through our gates and passed across our front lawn at three o'clock on Saturday morning
last, but they went through quietly. We are happy in having been able to preserve Celbridge and the
poor people will find that we are their best friends at last."

St. Mochua's Church is reputed to have been burned during the rebellion but there is no evidence of
this.

Lord Edward Fitzgerald -
Lord Edward Fitzgerald was born at Carton House, Maynooth, in 1764. He ,

was the son of James Fitzgerald, Earl of Kildare. His mother Emily was sister of Lady Louisa Conolly
of Castletown and of Lady Sarah Napier of Oakley Park. Lord Edward was greatly influenced by the
American and French Revolutions. He welcomed Wolfe Tone's ideal of a republic and wished to
unite lrishmen of different religious belief. At one time he had supported the cause of Catholics
seeking to abolish the Penal Laws. Later he joined the United lrishmen and was appointed their
leader in Leinster.

On the 2nd of March, 1798 he and other members of the United lrishmen were meeting in Dublin to
plan the rising. Informed by spies the government forces closed in on the meeting and arrested most
of the leaders. Lord Edward escaped capture and went on the run. The government offered 1,000
reward for his apprehension. As military commander he planned the rising for 23rd May, 1798.
However, on 19th May he was betrayed, wounded while resisting arrest and captured in Thomas St.,

Dublin. He died later in prison from the pistol shot wounds received in the struggle.

Thomas Conol|y's Kennels: Thomas Conolly brought a pack of‘ hounds from England to
Castletown in 1764 and was among the first of the Irish gentry to maintain hounds for hunting on his
estate. The hounds were kept in kennels behind the farm buildings at Castletown House and later
moved to where the Church of Ireland School is presently located at Castletown Gates. He must
also have indulged in the sport of bear baiting as the accounts show that a bear was kept in 1762

and John Fenaughty was paid E 6.9.10 for feeding him.

Edward Packenham

Thomas Conolly was the third and last of his name to live at Castletown. He had no

children and after Louisa's death the house was given to Edward Packenham, son of his niece, who
lived at Donaghcomper. In accordance with the terms of Thomas Conol|y's will Packenham assumed
the name and arms of Conolly.

"Tom" Conolly

Edward Packenham Conolly died in 1848 and he was succeeded at Castletown by his eldest son
Thomas. Tom Conolly, as he was affectionately known, was born in 1823 and succeeded his father
as Member of Parliament for Co. Donegal. He lived recklessly as a young man, spending much time
on the Continent where he became an intimate friend of Napoleon III.

A Sea Adventure: Tom Conolly was in America during the great American Civil War (1861-1865).
Pressed for money, he bought a large vessel and having filled her with an expensive cargo, he
attempted to run the blockade into the southern part of Charleston. intercepted by cruisers of the
Northern States, and his ship sunk, he found himself cast adrift on an unknown coast. He hailed a
passing sailing vessel and served his passage home as an ordinary sailor. The ship, bound for
England, passed close to the coast of Co. Donegal. Tom Conolly jumped overboard, swam ashore
and reached Donegal in time to maintain his seat in the election which was then in progress.

On August 10th, 1876 Thomas Conolly died. He was only 53 years of age and his death was greatly
lamented. "His hospitality was unbounded and his house was always fu//. There were horses to ride,
there were cars to be driven; there was an excellent cook and plenty of champagne... Dear old Tom
Cono/Iy."

Later Owners of Castletown

Thomas Conolly's eldest son, Thomas, was killed in South
Africa in 1900 and was succeeded by his brother Major
Edward Conolly. On the death of Major Conolly in 1956,
Lord Carew, his nephew, inherited Castletown. In 1965 he
sold the house and the 500 acre estate to Major Willson
for 5,166,000 In 1967 the Hon. Desmond Guinness

History

The motto "Over Fork Over" was introduced into the
Cunningham coat of arms following the entry into Linlithgow
castle of King Robert the Bruce and his followers, concealed in
hay carts. The English, who were occupying it at the time, were
driven out and it is said that the Cuninghames fell upon them
with their forks, tossing the English into the air like hay and
shouting their cry ‘Over, fork, over !'

The first Cunningham is believed to have been a Flemish man
named Wernibald, who took on the placename as his own when
he received a grant of Kilmaurs in Cunningham, Ayrshire from

Haakon IV, King of Norway, arrived off the coast of this area to
re-assert his rule over Scotland's Isles in 1263. This led to the
sea battle of Largs from which Haakon would never return
home. For his part in the battle, Harvey Cunningham of
Kiimaurs had his family's property expanded by Alexander II.

In 1321, Robert the Bruce granted the lands of Lamburgton to
Hugh Cunningham. When Hugh's grandson Sir William married
Margaret, heiress of the Dennistons of that Ilk, Glencairn
became the property of the Cunninghams also. James III made
Sir William's grandson, Alexander, Earl of Glencairn in 1488. He
and his King died together at the Battle of Sauchieburn later in
the same year.

The 5th Earl of Glencairn was a member of the ‘Lords of the
Congregation of Jesus Christ’, whose business was
misappropriating church property and undermining Scotland's
government on behalf of the well-paying English. The group's
work was instrumental in the Tudors‘ destruction of Mary,

Queen of Scots’ rights. ‘

The 9th Earl, however, was a patriot in the mould of the 1st
Earl.

While Scotland was under the control of Cromwell’s generals in
1653, Glencairn raised a rebellion on behalf of Charles II who
was safe on the Continent. The rebellion was hopeless but in

1660 he was created Lord Chancellor of Scotland, following the

Restoration.

In the 18th century, a number of Cunninghams, including the
14th Earl, were friends in art with Robert Burns.

For the chief, Burns wrote this tribute:

The bridegroom may forget the bride
Was made his wedded wife yestreen;
The monarch may forget the crown
That on his head an hour has been;
The mother may forget the child
That smiles sae sweetly on her knee;
But I'll remember thee, Glencairn,
And a’ that thou hast done for me!

CHAPTER 7

The Taylor Dynasty

(a) John Taylor

John Taylor was born on December 7th, 1655, the son of
Nathaniel Taylour (as he spelt his surname), a Puritan who had
supported Cromwell. He had served as Recorder of Colchester
at the time of the Commonwealth and was appointed Member
of Parliament for Bedford simply by Cromwell writing a letter
without the formality of an election. Nathaniel was fanatical.
He had 18 children, mostly born in Brook House, Holbom.
Several died young.

About 1679, John married Olive Tempest, the daughter
of Sir Nicholas Tempest of Durham. They had 16 children of
which the first three were girls — Mary, Olive and Margaret.
Nathaniel died on January 15th, 1683, and so did not live to see
their first son, Brook, who arrived on August 18th, 1685, when
they were in Edmonton.

John purchased Bifrons on September 29th, 1694. Their
son, James, died a year later. About 1696 John Closterman was
commissioned to paint the surviving family in oil on canvas.
This picture currently hangs in Beningbrough Hall. More
children followed and

According to the Rev. Dr. John Harris‘, there were in
1719 “some very large and fine hollies and two brick walls
covered on each side with striped holly which is planted on one
side of the wall and made to bend down over the top and cover
the other side to the bottom. The green walks are here also fine
and covered with the cleanest turf I ever saw. About 500 yards
below the house is a canal at the end of which are two islands
and a little house built, which they call Trout Hall; in it are
bathing places, some beds and rooms for company. The rivulet
which makes the canal abounds with trout of two sorts, white
and speckled, and in it are many loaches, some of which are
often found in the trouts’ bellies”.

2 E. Kent

Lushington entered the East India Company ser-
vice through his father’s connexions. In Madras he
acted as private secretary to the victorious com-
mander-in-chief General Harris from 1795 to 1799,
marrying his daughter. He arrived home with an
adequate fortune in 1803, three years after his
father-in-law, whom he had assured that he wished
to secure his own financial independence before
leaving India and had no inclination to any of the
professions that might realize this ambition at
home. In the event it was his father’s death and his
wife’s health that conspired to bring him home and
he did not then rule out the possibility of returning
to India.

Lushington settled in Kent on an estate procured
for him by General Harris. He later reminded
Harris ‘that he then had no thought of entering Par-
liatnent:

I was occupied chiefly in overcoming my repugnance to
an agricultural occupation which you and William had
from the kindest motives prepared for me and thereafter
in seconding your endeavours to secure your property
and remove unjust calumny. In the early part of this
struggle you felt the want of political connexion, and at
the suggestion of Lord Wellesley, and with the con-
curring judgment of Lord Moira, you proposed to me
to get into Parliament. I declined it then not seeing any
return of satisfaction or benefit, and we proceeded in
repelling the attacks of the directors, and in preparing
the government for a more just consideration of the
great services you had rendered to your country.

In the progress of this cause we thought it of the
greatest importance to your success that Mr Perceval,
then solicitor-general, should be engaged not merely
professionally as your advocate, but that he should be

warmly impressed with a sense of the deep injustice
you had suffered. To this we both directed our par-

472

LUSHINGTON

ticular attention, and of course both of us became per-
sonally acquainted with him.

General Harris wanted to recover a loan to the
Madras government, but he also wished for a
British peerage, having refused an Irish one on his
return home at the instigation of Lord Wellesley}
On the eve of the general election of 1806, Lush-
ington agreed to come into Parliament to serve his
father-in-law and approaches were made to Lord
Moira for a seat, while Wellesley, believing that
Harris was ‘made of money’, offered to procure him
one for £4,000. In December 1806 an arrangement
was made with the Treasury through Wellesley
whereby Lushington was to be returned for Gram-
pound on Sir Christopher Hawkins’s interest for
,5 5,000, with power to vacate in favour of the Gen-
eral’s son Col. William Harris, or any other person
acceptable to the minister Lord Grenville. This fell
through, but Harris’s dispute with the East
India Company continued. He had just invested in
East India stock in Lushington’s name when the
dissolution of 1807 provided a fresh opportunity.
The general had some interest at Canterbury and
Wellesley secured the new government’s backing
for Lushington’s candidature there. He was averse
to it, especially when the general eschewed a com-
promise and spent as much on a contest, in which
Lushington was defeated, as he had intended to in
the purchase of a seat. But Wellesley saw to it that
government compensated Lushington soon after-
wards with a vacant seat for Rye, which he obtained
for £2,500, of which Harris contributed £1,000?
Although Lushington’s maiden speech was a de-
fence of government’s conduct towards Denmark, 3
Feb. 1808, in which he rebuked opposition for a
‘sentimental system’ which ‘would embrace all
nations but their own’, his chief parliamentary
topic, predictably, was the defence of Wellesley’s
conduct in India, which he was sure would be
vindicated by any inquiry, 22 Feb., and defended
in detail on 15 Mar. 1808; on 1 June he justified at
length the East India Company’s policy towards the
Carnatic. (In February .he had given notice of his
intention to stand for the Company directory.) He
found Perceval ‘very kindly disposed’ towards him,
‘for his request to me . . . to second the address to
the throne was his own spontaneous act’. This was
on 19 Jan. 1809. He spoke in exoneration of the
Duke of York, 17 Mar. 1809. Harris having
obtained his compensation, Lushington was now
prepared to quit Parliament and had actually
applied for the Chiltern Hundreds at the end of
March 1809 and was arranging for his seat to be
bestowed on a friend of Wellesley’s when Perceval
and Huskisson persuaded him against it. He voted


LUSHINGTON 473

for inquiry into charges of ministerial corruption,
25 Apr. 1809, and in the same month made another
bid to secure election to the East India Company
directory, with the encouragement of Perceval’s
offer to place him on the India finance committee.
He informed his father-in-law that not being
‘naturally a farmer’, he had better aspire to be a
spokesman for the Company in the House, where
he felt confident of recognition, ‘for I never lose my
temper in debate’; besides, thanks to the imminent
renewal of the Company charter, India must be
‘largely discussed’. In canvassing the Company
directors in May 1809 he suggested that they
should impress the proprietors ‘by recommending a
person for their choice upon public grounds’, but
nothing came of it. Of Curwen’s reform bill Lush-
ington remarked in private that it ‘would in fact
strengthen the influence of the crown and diminish
that of the people. Such are the difficulties of
meddling with the constitution. I shall always
oppose every change until I can perceive the bene-
fits of it.’3

In the event of a reshuffle in r809, Lushington
was tipped for a place at the Treasury. His father-
in-law, to whom he had mortgaged his estate, hinted
that his finances needed boosting. If Wellesley
formed an administration, both of them would
benefit and Lushington intended to apply to him to
be an under secretary of state. This application was
postponed from September to 16 Nov. 1809, when
Wellesley’s prospects seemed better, but Lush-
ington was careful to assure Wellesley of Perceval’s
continued ‘good opinion’ of him. In fact, he was
content with Perceval’s appointment of him, previ-
ously pledged, as chairman of ways and means in
place of Wharton, 31 Jan. 1810, with £1,200 a ses-
sion: it was ‘the most fortunate and flattering [event]
of my life’/'

When he took his seat for his first committee on
2 Feb. 1810, William Smith, encouraged by a very
thin House, tried to substitute Davies Giddy, as a
more experienced man; but Lushington parried the
blow, ‘very adroitly’, so Perceval assured him, and
was vindicated by the Speaker, whose confidence
he henceforward enjoyed, and by others: Wharton
pointed out that ‘not long experience, but a sort of
technical knowledge’ was required. Lushington,
who on the opposition push for an inquiry into the
Scheldt expedition on 23 Jan. had stated that he
had no objection to one but was confident ministers
could justify themselves, was now more closely
connected with government, and, relieved of the
dread that he would have to chair the Scheldt in-
quiry, voted with ministers throughout the debates
on the subject.5 The Whigs listed him among the

LUSHINGTON

dozen personal adherents of Perceval in the House.

For the rest of that Parliament, Lushington had
little to say in debate outside his business duties.
He did not find them onerous: ‘one day of my Poli-
gar administration was more severe than a month of
this. There is no pressure of the mind, the great
requisites are impartiality and the faculty of sitting
as long and as quiet as a shoemaker.’ He was careful
to establish ‘a character for impartiality’, even to
the extent of giving a decision against Perceval: but
an invitation to a cabinet dinner on 19 June 1810
convinced him that it was taken in good part and
Perceval, for whom he was prepared to undertake
business chores during the recess, reassured him of
his confidence. He had voted against criminal law
reform, I May 1810, and against parliamentary
reform, 21 May, as well as against the abolition of
sinecures, 17 May 1810 (and subsequently). He
viewed the Regency debates with distaste, disliking
Perceval’s proposed limitations on the Regent’s
power and embarrassed lest his casting vote should
be required; he resolved, however, to uphold ‘the
cause of the King and of my friend Perceval’ if
necessary, recollecting ‘the miserable state of men’s
minds in the Carnatic from the operation of a
divided government’. He regarded Perceval’s death
as a great personal blow and on I4. May 1812
appealed to the generosity of Parliament to agree to
a provision for his family, having taken it upon
himself to assure Perceval’s brother, Lord Arden,
of it in advance.

On 21 May he voted against Stuart Wortley’s
motion for a stronger adm_-inistration, which he pri-
vately believed the cabinet should have endorsed,
though ‘much more easy to desire than to accom-
plish’. Nevertheless, in the event of Wellesley
forming a government, he was earmarked for the sec-
retaryship of the Board of Control, though no
longer considered a Wellesleyite and expecting to
lose his place. He had in fact had the same appoint-
ment proposed to him by government in July 181 I,
when he was considering the possibility of returning
to India, but could not then make up his mind to it.
He now assured Wellesley of his support, freely
confessing that he had adhered to Perceval, but was
anxious to safeguard his father-in-law’s claims on
Wellesley, only to learn that Wellesley stood little
chance of forming a government. He regretted it, as
he wished for a more efficient administration with
Canning taking the lead in the Commons, regardless
of what his own fate might be; and if Lord Moira,
rather than Wellesley, headed a new ministry, he
was confident that the former would be as ready to
make his father-in-law a British peer. Even so, he
agreed to parley with Wellesley at the eleventh hour,

Creator(s):
Conyngham family, Marquesses of Conyngham

[from Administrative History] This is essentially an accumulation of estate archives, no family papers having
been deposited. Major General Henry Conyngham of Slane (co. Meath) married the daughter of Sir John
Williams of Minster, Thanet thus creating a connection with Kent of great territorial significance. His son was
successively created Baron Conyngham of Mount Charles, 1753, Viscount Conyngham in 1756, and Baron and
Earl Conyngham of Mount Charles, 1781, with a special remainder to his nephew and heir Francis Pierpoint
Burton. Lord Conyngham married Ellen, daughter of Soloman Merrett of London, merchant, who survived her
husband and died in 1816.

[from Administrative History] On the death of Lord Conyngham in 1781, his last title only of Baron of Mount
Charles passed to his nephew and he also took the surname Conyngham. His son, who married Elizabeth
Denison, served in the army and became successively Viscount, 1789, Earl, 1797, and Marquess, 1816. Lady
Conyngham was a favourite of George IV and her husband was Lord Steward of the Household during his

marquessate, Bifrons in Patrixbourne, came to the estate from the Taylor family and became the Kentish
centre of Conyngham influence.

[from Administrative History] In the 20th century the importance of this vast estate stretching between
Canterbury and Broadstairs was enhanced by the development of the Kent Coalfield. As lords of the manor of
Minster which covered most of Thanet the Conyngham family had considerable foreshore rights from
Birchington to Ramsgate and also rights of wreck. Numerous disputes arose over the using of these powers.

Aughrim.
by Cecil Kilpatrick, B.Sc.
After the Boyne

King James reached Dublin on the evening of his defeat at the Boyne, lst July
(O.S.) 1690.

The next morning he fled south, first to Waterford and then by sea to Kinsale
where he picked up a French naval escort and returned to France for the rest of
his life.

His army under Lauzun abandoned Dublin and retreated westwards to the line of
the Shannon, but also holding the walled city of Cork and the fortified port of
Kinsale. Late in the year a great fleet of 70 ships put John Churchill (later
Marlborough) and an expeditionary force ashore at Passage West and captured both
towns. The French must now rely on the ports of Galway and Limerick on the West
coast.

King William reached Limerick on August 7th, but as his army had only their
field guns he was held up till the siege train with heavy 24 pounder guns, drawn
by oxen, arrived from Dublin.

It had reached Ballyneety near the Silvermine Mountains just fourteen miles from
its destination and had camped for the night, when Sarsfield struck.

The previous day he had slipped out of Limerick on to the western shore with a
strong cavalry raiding party. They headed upstream and recrossed at Killaloe,
remaining concealed on Keeper Hill, watching and waiting till the camp was
asleep. Not a man escaped and Limerick knew when the night sky was lit up with
an enormous explosion of tons of gunpowder destroying guns and supplies.

On 27th August an assault on the wall was attempted but was repulsed with heavy
loss and after two more days the siege was abandoned for the year.

King William, disappointed that the campaign would drag on for another year,
took the road to Waterford and returned to London leaving Count Solms. the Dutch
Commander, in charge.

Lauiun, the French Commander, also decided to go home, taking all his French
troops and leaving the 20 year old Duke of Berwick in command.

The Winter of 1690 - 1691.

Hostilities continued even though the main forces were dispersed into winter
quarters all over Ireland.

Jacobite Rapparees (irregulars) raided into Williamite territory for horses and
cattle, while Williamite raids were made in Kerry and Sligo. ‘No man's land‘ ran
from Bantry Bay through Macroom, Mallow, Tipperary, Thurles, Birr, Mullingar,
Newtown Forbes to Lough Eme and Ballyshannon. Both armies behaved badly but as
the soldiers had not been paid, they felt justified in taking what they could
get. Peace feelers were put out and rumours abounded but came to nothing.

With the turn of the year Solms was recalled for duty in Flanders and William

wrote, before leaving for Holland, giving command to Baron Godart Van reede de
Ginkel. He was a capable professional soldier, solid, cautious, and adept at

uniting the many nationalities in his army in the fashion of Eisenhower of the
last war.


Mary acted as Sovereign in her own right and corresponded
William informed. Generals Douglas and Yjrke were also

in Flanders and were replaced by Mackay, the Killiecrankie
an Englishman.

In William's absence
with Ginkel, keeping
recalled for service
General and Talmash,

On the Jacobite side Tyrconnell, who had gone to France for fresh instructions
from James and assistance from Louis XIV, returned with money but no French
troops. James sent a peerage for Sarsfield, Earl of Lucan, as consolation for
not getting command. Berwick was recalled and three high ranking French
Lieutenant Generals arrived, all senior to Sarsfield.

The new Commander was Le Marquis de St. Ruhe, usually referred to as St. Ruth, a
competent energetic professional soldier with a brutal record as persecutor of
the Huguenots in the Cevennes. As a soldier he was a great improvement on
Lauzun with the added advantage of being without the impediment of King James.
St. Ruth was accompanied by two other Generals, d'Usson and de Tesse. Of the
three only de Tesse ever saw his homeland again and he was wounded three times.

The Army Musters.

In 1690 the army had mustered at Scarva or Aghaderg (Loughbricldand). At the end
of the year the main depot would be Mullingar. The Dutch, Danes, Huguenot and
English forces under Wurtenberg, which had been scattered across Munster would
first rally at Cashel before moving northwards. The forces in Ulster would
first assemble at Belturbet in Co. Cavan before moving to Mullingar. It is of
particular interest to note the number of Ulster Regiments in William's Army.

Cunyngham's Inniskilling Dragoons, already gazetted as 6th Inniskilling Dragoons
which later became the 5th Inniskilling Dragoon Guards. They fought in defence
of Enniskillen and at the Boyne and Aughrim. Wynn's Inniskilling Dragoons,
already gazetted as 5th Royal Irish Dragoons, to become 5th Royal Irish Lancers
and now 16th/5th Queens Royal Lancers. They fought in defence of Enniskillen,
at the Boyne and Aughrim. Wolseley's Inniskilling Horse, fought in defence of
Enniskillen, at the Boyne and Aughrim. Later they fought in Flanders but at the
end of the war in 1697 were disbanded. Tiffin's Inniskilling Regiment of Foot,
already gazetted as 27th Foot later to become the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers
and still later the Royal Irish Rangers. They fought in defence of Enniskillen,
at the Boyne and Aughrim. Gustavus Hamilton's Regiment of Foot, fought in
defence of Enniskillen, at the Boyne and at Aughrim. There were two Colonels
Gustavus Hamilton. One was Governor of Enniskillen and raised the regiment.

The other who fought in defence of Coleraine, withdrew to Londonderry. He later
took over the Inniskilling Regiment and fought at the Boyne and Athlone. He
remained as Governor of Athlone but the Regiment went on to the Battle of
Aughrim. After the end of the war it was disbanded.

St. John's Regiment of Foot, originally raised by Col. Henry Baker. Fought at
Dromore, retreating to Londonderry, it fought at the Boyne and at Aughrim. At
the end of hostilities it was disbanded. Loyd‘s Regiment of Foot, fought in
defence of Enniskillen, at the Boyne and Athlone. It was left behind as a
garrison and did not fight at Aughrim. It was later disbanded. Mitchelburn's
Regiment of Foot, originally Skeffington's fought under Col. John Mitchelburn
throughout the siege of Londonderry and at the Boyne. It mustered with the army
under Ginkel but was detailed for garrison duty till the end of the war when it
was disbanded. Cauldfield's Regiment of Foot, originally raised by Rev. George
Walker for the defence of Dungannon, but withdrew to Londonderry and fought
throughout the siege. Taken over by Col. Robert White after the siege but on his
death in 1689 commanded by Col. John Cauldfield. The eight siege Regiments

were so reduced in strength that they were merged in 1689 into four. Two fought
at the Boyne but only one at Aughrim. Eventually all their traditions were
merged into 27th Foot which recruited in Counties Londonderry, Tyrone,
Fermanagh, and prior to 1922, in Co. Donegal.

n___M_<


One Irish Regiment, although not from Ulster, should be listed. Meath's Regiment
originally Forbes. Had been part of King James's Army in Ireland but when
reorganised by Tyrconnell managed to retain one third of its Protestants. It was
sent to England and while all the others were disbanded on William's arrival, it
was retained. The Roman Catholic members were dismissed and replaced by Irish
Protestants. It returned to Ireland with Schomberg and was stationed in Belfast.
It was gazetted as 18th Foot and fought at the Boyne and Aughrim. Later it
became the senior Irish Regiment of the line as The Royal Irish Regiment and was
disbanded with four other famous Irish Regiments in 1922.

There was one further Ulster regiment, but it missed the Irish Campaign. The
Royal Irish Light Dragoons raised in Londonderry in 1693 from survivors of the
Siege. Originally known as Conyngham's Dragoons, not to be confused with Sir
Albert Cunningham's Inniskilling Dragoons which by 1693 had become 6th
Inniskilling Dragoons. They served King William on the Continent and later won
fame under Marlborough becoming 8th Mngs Royal Irish Hussars. In recent times
through amalgamation they reformed as The Queens Royal Irish Hussars and are at
present serving in Arabia on the borders of Iraq with the Desert Rats.

Ginkel's total force consisted of thirty battalions of infantry. Three were left
behind on garrison duty, leaving twenty seven made up of twelve English, three
Ulster, six Danish, three Dutch, and three Huguenot. He also had forty squadrons
of horse and dragoons. making a total of 20,000 men. His artillery train
consisted of twelve field pieces, thirty siege guns and six mortars.

In command of the Cavalry was Major General Marquis de Ruvigny, a professional
Huguenot soldier and brother of the brave Callemotte killed at the ford of
Oldbridge leading his countrymen over the Boyne.

Across the Shannon St. Ruth had moved up his forces from Galway and Limerick to
Ballinasloe but his very late arrival in Ireland had placed him at a severe
disadvantage in making preparations. He was not ready to take the field till
the middle of June.

His army which was about as large as Ginkel's, was made up of 16000 foot, 3,000
horse and 2,000 dragoons. Its soldiers were entirely Irish, apart from its
French Generals. His artillery amounted to nine field pieces apart from those
mounted for the defence of walled towns like Athlone and Limerick.

The Advance Westward to Ballymore.

On 6th June Ginkel marched out from Mullingar, having gained two weeks on the
previous year. Next day he reached Ballymore about, half way to Athlone, and
here the opening shots in the 1691 campaign were fired.

A garrison of about I000 men under Col. Ulick Burke had fortified an old Norman
motte defending a peninsula in a lake and surrounded by water or bog. Their
intention was to hold up the advance as long as possible to gain time but they
had an impossible task against the full weight of Ginkel's guns. It was all over
in 24 hours, when the survivors were glad to surrender and go into captivity on
Lambay Island. Time was lost however, waiting for the Duke of Wurtemberg and his
forces and Athlone was not reached till 19th June.

The Siege of Athlone — The Leinstertown.

Athlone consisted of two walled towns separated by the River Shannon. The
previous year, when approached by General Douglas, the defenders under Col.
Richard Grace had abandoned the English Town on the Leinster side of the river
and withdrawn over the bridge to the Irish town on the Connaught side. This year


Col. Nicholas Fitzgerald resolved to defend both towns to allow time for St.
Ruth to bring up his army from Ballinasloe.

The attackers spent their first day in mounting a battery of heavy guns to make
a breach in the bastion near the North Gate. The next day at daybreak firing
commenced and by the afternoon had opened a breach 30 yards wide. A council of
war decided to mount an assault that evening at 5 p.m. 300 grenadiers were to
lead, followed by pioneers with axes to clear away any obstructions thrown up to
repair the breach. Hugh Mackay would command four foot regiments who, once
through, would fan out in both directions. The first man into the breach was a
Huguenot Lieutenant who threw two grenades and fired his musket before being
killed. By nightfall the Leinstertown was taken and the defenders had withdrawn
over the bridge, throwing down the arch on the far side, which had been
temporally repaired.

The Connaught Town

The next day St. Ruth came up with the main army and camped two miles from the
town. Lt. General d'Usson was sent into the town to take over the defence with
Major General Maxwell, a Scot, in support.

On the Connaught bank just over the bridge, stood an exceptionally strong Castle
and a little upstream, the stout Connaught Tower. Before any assault could be
made these must be neutralised. The gunners set to work, bringing up the guns
and mounting seven batteries to pound the opposite bank with the heaviest
bombardment ever to take place in Ireland, till the German blitz. In all 12,000
cannon balls, 600 bombs and many tons of stones were thrown across propelled by
50 tons of gunpowder. It was thirsty work and the gunners consumed four barrels
of beer and were paid £33.70 bonus money. In a week the castle lay in ruins. A
great heap of rubble and all its guns had been silenced.

The first plan of attack was to use a pontoon bridge made of tin boats brought
from Dublin for the purpose, but it was found impossible to make progress under
heavy fire without first capturing a bridge head on the other side.

Next a flanking attack about a mile upstream, over a ford was tried. A raiding
party, led by a Lieutenant, was sent to reconnoitre, with instructions to avoid
getting involved with the enemy. The Lieutenant however, not only crossed the
river, but yielded to the temptation to round up cattle and lost the vital
element of surprise.

On 26th June a frontal attack over the broken bridge was made with great daring.
The troops advanced under covering fire and succeeded in repairing the gap with
planks. The timbers were carried by 24 sappers, who were paid £13.l6.0 as a
reward for their success. However before the main assault could be mounted, a
Sergeant of Maxwell's Dragoons named Custume and ten volunteers rushed on to the
bridge braving certain death but all perished in the hail of fire. A Lieutenant
and twenty more men took their place and though only two survived they succeeded
in throwing down the planks.

On 29th June a Council of War was called and decided to attempt an assault over
the ford just below the bridge. The main attack was to be made, while the
defenders attention was diverted at the Bridge and at the pontoon bridge
downstream. However the Jacobites noticed the preparations and moved in
reinforcements from the main camp, causing the attempt to be abandoned. To test
the depth of water at the ford three Danish soldiers under sentence of death
were offered a pardon if they could cross. They wore helmets and breastplates
and pretended to be deserters, while their comrades fired over their heads. They
kept well apart to present a smaller target and to try different parts of the
river. Their moment of danger came when they turned back and the Jacobites


offered fire. Two were wounded but all returned safely saying that the water
only reached their navels.

The final assault was planned in great secrecy for the evening of 30th June.
Men would be moved into place by stealth and the signal would be the tolling of
bells for evening worship at the normal hour. 2,000 men led by Col. Gustavas
Hamilton and grenadiers of the Inniskillings would take part under the command
of Talmash. St. Ruth, to give his men a baptism of fire, had been rotating his
regiments and had placed three very indifferent battalions of O'Hara's,
O'Neill's and MacMahons Foot in the vital sector. The bells pealed at 6 p.m.
when the assault party, with complete surprise bounced over the riverside
parapet and into the river. General Mackay volunteering as a private soldier
plunged in himself and almost before the Jacobites could open fire they were
across, mounting the bank and fanning out. One party made for the bridge and
another secured the walls. The Jacobites panicked and broke. General d'Usson
was attending a party, but hearing the commotion, he rushed to the riverside
only to be knocked down in the stampede of his own men and trampled underfoot.
In less than an hour the whole town was in Williamite hands. Too late, St. Ruth
came up with his main army only to find the gates closed and the walls manned by
his enemies. It was a disastrous defeat brought on by over confidence and over-
dependence on a physical feature. For St. Ruth it brought grief and shame. He
could now only wipe out the humiliation and return to France and Louis XIV with
honour, by staking all on one last battle.

The Battlefield.

Having lost the line of the Shannon, there were few strong defensive positions
before Limerick. The River Suck at Ballinasloe was an insignificant obstacle,
but five miles further west rose a long ridge running from the old castle and
village of Aughrim for two miles to the old Church of Kilcommodon and known as
Aughrim or Kilcommodon hill. On the eastern side of the ridge next Ballinasloe,
lay a belt of bog and marsh for its whole length, with further lakes and bogs to
the north and south to discourage flank attacks. St. Ruth had been in Ireland
for only 7 weeks but he had observed the country as he passed through, with the
eye of a soldier and he selected Aughrim for his last stand. He chose well for
there was no better position to defend both the roads to Galway and Limerick.

On July 8th his 37 battalions filed over the bridge of Ballinasloe and took up
their positions with four days to dig in. General d'Usson was sent on to hold
Galway and General de Tesse was appointed second in command with particular
responsibility for the right or southern sector. Sarsfield was given command
of the cavalry reserve and positioned on the left wing at the rear of the hill.
He was given that nightmare instruction. "Don't move till further orders".
Orders which never came. The Jacobite soldiers occupied their time well, digging
trenches for musketeers at the old castle and to protect the battery of guns
nearby where the Parish Church now stands. St. Ruth worked like a man inspired.
He knew that his ill trained soldiers would fight best from behind a breastwork
and adapted the hedges and ditches on the lower slopes of the hill to this end.
The hedges were strengthened and thickened to serve the purpose of modem barbed
wire, but gaps were left to facilitate the withdrawal and counter attack of
infantry and the downhill charge of horse to dislodge any of Ginkel's men who
gained a foothold on the hill.

The most vulnerable point in the defence was at the southern end of the ridge
where the little Tristaun stream entered the bog. This became known as The Pass
of Urracaree for a line of eskers, or gravely hillocks, gave access over the
bog. Here the defences were made doubly strong for they were sure to be tried
and tested. St. Ruth paid particular attention to morale and encouraged the 80
Priests in the camp to instil a crusading spirit. A copy of his own eve of
battle ovation has survived, in which he dwells on his own service in
suppressing heresy in France and stresses the consequences which the coming


battle will have for the faith. At dawn on the morning of the battle, which was
a Sunday, the Priests ensured that every man attended mass.

The Battle.

Having taken Athlone, Ginkel was held up for ten days waiting for supplies of
powder and shot to replenish his stock, exhausted by the heavy bombardment. The
convoy of wagons from Dublin arrived on 11th July and immediately the army
marched, reaching Ballinasloe by nightfall.

Duke Wurtemberg, the Danish Commander, was appointed Second in Command, with
special responsibility on the left wing. General Mackay took charge of the
centre and General Ruvigny was placed on the right.

At 6 a.m. on Sunday morning 12th July, leaving their tents and baggage, the army
advanced to battle. Visibility was poor, as a heavy morning mist lay over the
low ground and didn't lift till dispersed by the heat of the midday sun. Ginkel
at last could see the enemy and was taken aback by the strength of their
position. The Jacobite skirmishers, who had been holding up the advance, slowly
fell back across the bog and the guns began to thunder across the valley. It
was mid afternoon before the Danish Dragoons moving to the left to occupy the
Pass of Urrachree, were driven back and the Inniskilling Dragoons came up to
their assistance. Both sides poured in reinforcements and soon a general action
had developed. The Jacobite tactics of withdrawing from hedge to hedge lured on
their opponents and encouraged them to outreach themselves without flanking
support. Then the cavalry swept down from the hill, through the gaps in the
hedges and cut off the advance guard of the Williamites. It was then the turn
of the musketeers, hidden behind their breastworks, to pick off the isolated
forward troops and drive the remnant back into the bog.

The Huguenots suffered particularly heavy losses and especially in a depression
at the foot of the hill below the present road, which has ever since been known
as The Bloody Hollow. At about 6.30 p.m. Mackay. seeing that no progress was
being made at the Southern end of that ridge, ordered the centre to advance over
the bog under the covering fire of their cannon. Four English battalions
struggled through the morass up to their waists in water, Earle's Regiment
(19th, later the Green Howards) leading. They appeared to be succeeding as the
Jacobites were driven back, but they had only retired one field width from the
edge of the bog. As soon as the English had formed up on the firm ground down
came the cavalry and drove them back while once again musketeers to right and
left picked them off. This time the Jacobite foot followed them back across the
bog even taking some of the guns beyond the bog. However, there was no way they
could manhandle them through the swamp and they were soon retaken.

In this action Colonels Earle and Herbert were taken prisoner. It was now the
turn of Kirke's and Gustavus Hamilton's Regiments to the left and Tiffin‘s and
St. John's along with a Huguenot Regiment to their right. The Jacobites held
their fire till the Williamites were within 20 yards and though a furious fight
developed and things seemed to be in the balance for a while, they were driven
back once more.

St. Ruth was delighted at the steadiness of his troops and the success of his
plans. The sun was sinking in the west and Ginkel was about to call off the
action for the night. He sent for the baggage and tents to be brought up but the
order was cancelled. Mackay had noticed a movement of both horse and foot from
the north to the centre to relieve the hard-pressed defenders. Perhaps now was
the time for an attack by the Williamite right, by the Castle. Here the way
through the swamp was narrow, only two horsemen at a time could cross over. If
the foot could cross first, perhaps the horse could succeed. Wynn's dismounted
Dragoons and Leveson's led the attack, encouraged by the courageous Mackay who
was thrown from his horse. Colonel Walter Burke defended the Castle stubbornly,


but his guns had been silenced. The attackers reached a spot where they were
sheltered from fire though they could advance no further. It was now up to the
Cavalry and under Ruvigny, the Blues, Winn's Dragoons, and Wolseley's Horse
galloped over the narrow causeway.

St. Ruth had been watching anxiously. His reserve Cavalry under Sarsfield would
soon sweep them back. He was mounting his horse when his head was carried away
by a cannon ball. The Williamite cavalry crossed over and at the crucial moment
the Jacobite cavalry under Brigadier Henry Lutteral and Lieutenant General
Dominic Sheldon withdrew from the field and headed west. Their route from the
battlefield is marked on the 6" Ordinance Map to this day as 'Lutterals Pass‘.
Treachery was suspected though never proved. Yet when Lutteral was found to have
been in correspondence with Ginkel and to have consequently received a
Williamite pension, there can be little doubt. Lutteral and the Officer Corps of
the Cavalry represented the old Roman Catholic gentry who hoped to redeem
something of their estates. The Jacobite foot soldiers who had fought so well,
were abandoned to their fate. They were rolled up by the charging Williamite
Horse, wheeling south from the Castle along the ridge. They were cut down in
their hundreds as they tried to escape. De Tesse tried to save the day, taking
command of a force of Cavalry, but his men deserted him and he was lucky to get
away, though wounded three times.

Lord Galmoy and Sarsfield (Lord Lucan) who had been in the rear, were caught off
guard by the suddenness of the rout. They did their best to hold back the tide,
but were forced to withdraw westwards. Only nightfall saved what was left of
the infantry but 7,000 of them lay dead on the field, including 400 officers.
Another 450 high ranking officers were taken prisoner. Williamite losses were
also heavy, amounting to 2,000 dead and wounded. Eleven Cavalry standards and
the Colours of thirty-two infantry battalions were picked up the next day.

Nine field guns, the reserve ammunition, tents, baggage and thousands of muskets
were gathered by the victors.

Near the spot where St. Ruth was struck down grew a blackthorn bush, which
became known as St. Ruth's Bush. It, or it's successor, is marked by a plaque
erected by Bord Failte which reads, 'The Jacobite General St. Ruth died here
after a battle with the forces of King William on 12th July 1691. His defeat and
death spelled an end to the hopes of James II and changed the course of Irish
history‘. No one knows what happened to his body though Macauley's account
states "The French General was hastening to the rescue when a cannon ball
carried off his head. Those who were about him thought that it would be
dangerous to make his fate known. The corpse was wrapped in a cloak, carried
from the field and laid, with all secrecy, in the sacred ground among the ruins
of the ancient monastery of Loughrea".

O'Kelly's Latin account describes the grief and despair created by this disaster
in which ‘the Irish lost the flower of their army and nation”. It was for the
Irish Nationalist what Flodden Field had been for the Scots.

‘Forget not the field where they perished,

The truest, the last of the brave:

All gone and the bright hopes we cherished

Gone with them and quenched in the grave“.

John Moore.

It was of course quite another matter for the Williamite victors as the
following verse penned by William Archer 120 years ago shows.

The Battle of Aughrim.

The flight comes on, St. Ruth prevails,


his troops he animates,

And swears he‘ll drive the heretics,

aye up to Dublin gates.

But,, oft,, a ball by justice wing'd,

to vindicate the truth.

As he rode down Kilcomodan,

laid low the brave Saint Ruth.

Then came the rout‘ our troops rushed on,
the foe fled, pale, aghast.

Like autumn leaves in myriad's driven
before November's blast.

Seven thousand men they left behind,

in death to close the eye.

While Victory bless'd King William's men
the Twelfth day of July".

William Archer 1869.

It had been a hard fought battle with both sides evenly matched in numbers of
men. Both were all led and gave of their best. It was said, "Never did the
Irish fight so well in their own country" and equally, never was an attack made
with more bravery and determination. It was the bloodiest battle of the war, it
was the last big battle ever fought in Ireland.

Galway surrendered on 21st July and Limerick on 3rd October bringing to an end.
The war on the continent continued till the signing of the Treaty of Ryswick in
1697, when Louis XIV recognised William and his successor, Anne.

INNISKILLING DRAGOONS: The Records of an Old Heavy Cavalry Regiment

The regiment was raised in 1689 by Sir Albert Conyngham (Cunningham) after
whom it was named; the men came mostly from County Donegal. There_ is
reference to an interesting note among King William ll|'s State papers: OThe
Inniskilliners do not care for the English, but they like the Scots, most of their
parents being Scotch. It is well therefore not to have too many English in their
regiments.‘ The regiment‘s first major action was the Battle of the Boyne (11 July
1690). Writing about it in his introduction the author says: "Of the earliest years of
the Regiment's existence I have spoken as one walking on thin ice; susceptibilities
are on edge in lreland when the Battle of the Boyne is mentioned ....... .." That was
written in 1909 and things haven't changed since. The regiment was in action
during the War of The Austrian Succession and was present at Dettingen and
Fontenoy. It was again on active service 1758-1763, this time in Germany in the
Seven Years War. At Waterloo the regiment was part of the Union Brigade
(Royals, Scots Greys and lnniskillings‘) and took part in the celebrated charge in
which one officer and 85 other ranks were killed (and 164 horses) and six officers
and 101 other ranks wounded. It served in the Crimea where it took part in
another charge, that of Scarlett's Heavy Brigade, also at Balaklava - more
successful but less publicised than that of the Light Brigade. Surgeon James
Mouat, attached to the Regiment, won the VC at Balaklava but this does not get a
mention in the book though it does say he was awarded the Crimean medal. - The
Crimea was followed by eight years in lndia enlivened by the antics of the CO who
quite clearly had a screw loose. He had one of his officers courtmartialled and he
himself was ordered to prosecute. He placed under close arrest three witnesses
for the defence and kept them there, incommunicado, till the so-called trial ended.
The whole affair is told in detail and can only be described as mind-boggling. At
the end of October 1899 the Regiment embarked for S Africa where it came under
General French's command (the C in C of the BEF in 1914), taking part in yet
another charge - at Klipfontein. The Regiment served in S Africa throughout the
war, returning to the UK after the conclusion of peace negotiations in 1902, and
this is where this history ends Forty-one officers and men were killed and forty-
one died from other causes. Finally there is an index.

HISTORY OF THE VIII KlNGg,S ROYAL IRISH HUSSARS

 


1693-1927
The Rev. Robert H. Murray,

2005. N&M Press reprint (original pub 1928). 2 vols. SB. xii + 4
S s s is:  mm :2

Very full history of an Irish cavalry regiment over two hundred and
thirty years in peace and in war with lists of all officers who served in
it, of Colonels, COs, RSMs. Very useful for research. Originally
published in a limited edition ofjust 200, and virtually unobtainable
since then.. The Regiment was raised in northern Ireland in January
1693, shortly after the Battles of the Boyne and Aughrim had seen the
end of the French supported Irish rebellion and the Jacobite cause in
Ireland. In the warrant authorising the formation of the regiment it was
stated that the men should be known Protestants - Catholics were out!
Known first as Colonel Cunningham's (Conyngham) Regiment of
Dragoons, it became the 8th Dragoons in 1751 and then Light
Dragoons until 1822 when it was designated King's Royal Irish
Hussars. The first of the many campaigns in which it was to fight was
the War of the Spanish Succession (1702-1713) during which it was in
action in Spain over a period of some eight years. During its next two
hundred years it woud see plenty of action - in the Crimea (Charge of
the Light Brigade), in the Indian Mutiny, the 2nd Afghan War, the South
African War and the Great War. All these campaigns are, of course,
well covered, but there is plenty on the life of the Regiment, its officers
and men, its changes in dress, its weapons and equipment, pay and
conditions of service. There are tables showing nationalities of the
men, their ages, their heights, lengths of service - even the ages and
sizes of the horses - this in the period immediately following the ‘45'
rebellion. There are some useful appendices for researchers at the end
of Vol 2. There is the regimental calendar arranged on a monthly basis
whereby any significant event in the history of the Regiment is shown
in the relevant month with the date, day of the week and year in which
it occurred. Thus, in January we read that the warrant for raising the
Regiment was issued by William III on the 18th, a Sunday, in the year
1693; and in October we can see the Regiment sailed from Bombay for
France on Friday 16th, 1914. There is the succession of Colonels from
1693 and commanding officers from 1750 when the appointment of CO
was separated from that of Colonel of the Regiment, followed by an 86-
page list of regimental officers, year by year, arranged by rank and
seniority as in the Army Lists. There is an index to this list, arranged
alphabetically with the dates each officer served with the regiment;
and finally there is the list of RSMs from 1811 when that rank was
established. The history concludes with a comprehensive 33-page

Normanton Church

The church, with semi-circular portico and
tower, was built in 1826-9 and was
designed by Thomas Cundy, then architect
to the Grosvenor estate in Westminster.

The original site of Normanton Church (St
Matthew's Church as it was once known)
would have placed it below the proposed
water line of Rutland Water. It was saved
from this fate following a project, aided by voluntary subscription,
which raised the level of the church and placed it above the water level
on a pier of stones. The Church now stands proudly by the side of
Rutland Water and houses an exhibition on the building of the reservoir
which is open to the public from April to October.

 

Opening Times: April-Sept (daily) & Oct (weekends only), 11am-4pm.

lAn Area

   

mm.u- 7r.u;I:u':n Francis Osbert Sacheverell Sitwell
1 was a man whose pride in his

aristocratic ancestry coexisted
uneasily with his conviction that the artist was the sole truly
superior being. Only in his autobiography, where his
background and upbringing were triumphantly transmuted
into art, did these two ill-suited elements achieve complete
reconciliation.

His ancestry was, indeed, imposing; if not quite so
splendiferous as he, and still more his sister Edith, were
accustomed to assert. The Sitwells — or Cytewelles, as they
were spelt in the fourteenth century — had been landowners
in Derbyshire for over six hundred years. In the seventeenth
century they ventured into industry, set up a large iron-works
at Eckington, became one of the world's pre-eminent
manufacturers of nails, and built themselves a fine new house
at Renishaw, a few miles from their previous home. The
direct line ended with the death of William Sitwell in 1776.
William's nephew, Francis Hurt, inherited Renishaw. Francis
evidently had great reverence for the family name: not only
did he give it to his son as a Christian name but on
succeeding to Renishaw he adopted it as his own surname.
Young Sitwell Hurt, when he eventually inherited the estate,
thus did so as Sitwell Sitwell: "Perhaps his hypersensitive

descendant should resume the patronymic and call himself
Sir Hurt Hurt," remarked Evelyn Waugh in 1961.

In his autobiography Osbert ignored his manufacturing
forebears by leaping boldly from the early Cytewelles to the
first baronet, Sir Sitwell Sitwell. "There are precious few
Englishmen who could not assume a mediaeval name if they
chose to pick about in their pedigree," Waugh wrote to Nancy
Mitford. This was less well justified than his earlier jibe;
though it may have strayed through the female line, Osbert’s
direct descent from fourteenth -century Derbyshire landowners
could not be questioned. But Osbert certainly preferred not to
dwell on the fami|y’s brush with trade four hundred years
later; he left the source of Sitwell Sitwell’s wealth discreetly
obscure.

He showed no similar reticence when it came to the zest with
which Sitwell Sitwell and his heir dissipated the fruits of their
ancestors’ industry; this, indeed, Osbert felt more a matter for
congratulation than for shame. Sir Sitwell, as he was to
become after the Prince Regent visited Renishaw and repaid
the hospitality with a baronetcy, displayed the incontinent
extravagance that was to mark his descendants. He built
stables, gates, triumphal arches; imported marble chimney-
pieces which had been discarded by the Duke of York,
pictures and tapestries, fine furniture; flung out a ballroom: all
so that the Regent could be entertained in the style to which
he was accustomed. Fortunately for posterity, he had
excellent taste and left a much embellished property behind
him; unfortunately for his heir, he also left a much diminished
fortune to match the lavish train of life which he had
established.

Undeterred, the second baronet, Sir George, behaved with
equal prodigality. Horses and politics were his particular
indulgence but he also made unwise investments, was the
victim of a crooked solicitor and lost a fortune in the crash of
the Sheffield Land Bank. In 1846 he was forced to shut up
Renishaw and eke out a — relatively — penurious existence
in the small towns of Germany. He died not long aftenNards
and the family fortunes showed no signs of reviving under the
third baronet, Sir Reresby. It was left to Sir Reresby's widow
to pull things together during the minority of her son, George.
Her astuteness, coupled with the discovery of rich seams of
coal beneath the land at Renishaw, ensured that when the
fourth baronet came of age in 1883 he found himself master
of an estate which was not merely unencumbered but
conspicuously profitable. Sometime in the early 1860s a small
boy, escorted by a nurse, was travelling by train across
England. A kindly old gentleman sitting opposite asked him

http :// Sandie go.citysearch.com/E/ G/ SANCA/OOO0/07/ 67/ 6/9/00


1st Chapter - Osbert Sitwell - SignOnSanDiego Page 3 of 9

who he was. "I am Sir George Sitwell, baronet," the child is
said to have replied. ''I am four years old and the youngest
baronet in England." By this response he demonstrated both
an alarming awareness of his own consequence and an
inability to conceive what impression he might make on other
people. Both characteristics were to mark him throughout his
life.

In the four volumes of his autobiography Osbert Sitwell
portrayed his father as an eccentric on the grandest possible
scale, grotesque yet awe-inspiring, a cross between Don
Quixote and Lewis Carro||’s White Knight. Given Osbert’s
freely admitted dislike of Sir George, it is tempting to assume
that this was a caricature, largely the fruit of his imagination;
an attempt to avenge himself on, or perhaps come to terms
with, a man who he believed had done much to ruin his life.
Elements of exaggeration there certainly were and many of
Osbert’s best anecdotes were embellished so as to make a
point more forcibly orjust to raise a laugh at his father’s
expense. But few seem to have been wholly invented. Sir
George was a very curious figure; in some ways remarkably
appealing, in some ridiculous, in some curmudgeonly and
mean.

Anthony Powell, who often met him at Renishaw, insists that
he was every bit as bizarre as his son described him; indeed,
that the portrait was, if anything, too generous: "ln depicting
the figure of Sir George Sitwell . . . the less pleasant sides are
toned down, rather than exaggerated." This is not the
impression of most observers, however. The weight of
evidence suggests that, though little may have been made up
in Osbert’s portrayal, a great deal was suppressed or
distorted; the impression given of Sir George’s personality
was unfair. "He wasn’t nearly as comic a figure as [Osbert]
made him appear," Osbert’s younger brother, Sacheverell,
told the historian of the family, John Pearson. "He was a
much nicer person. I think he was much nicer than Osbert."
Kenneth Clark felt the same: Sir George was "nicer and
sadder than Osbert allowed in his ungenerous portrait." Again
and again in reading of his dealings with other people one
feels that, though he must often have been infuriating, his
intentions were nearly always excellent and his courtesy
immaculate. Osbert, with some reason, makes fun of his
ridiculous inventions — a musical toothbrush, a small revolver
for killing wasps; his self-proclaimed omniscience —
continuously putting right lawyers, architects, doctors,
gardeners, on the more arcane details of their professions;
his megalomaniac building plans — remove that hill, divert
that stream, here we must have a triumphal arch! But his son
takes too little account of the fact that much of Sir George's

http://sandiego.citySearch.com/E/G/SANCA/0OOO/07/67/ 6/9/O0


1st Chapter — Osbert Sitwell — SignOnSanDiego Page 4 of 9

ingenuity was usefully and practically employed; that his
knowledge was unusually wide and his advice by no means
always silly; that his plans quite often came to fulfilment and
both his Derbyshire home at Renishaw and his Tuscan
palace at Montegufoni were rendered immeasurably more
beautiful by his activities. Osbert mocks his father's genius for
financial obfuscation and his tendency to keep careful count
of the pennies while allowing the pounds to flood away, but
gives no hint that Sir George had a shrewd financial brain,
was one of the first people to see the potential in South
African mining shares, and made quite as much money on
the Stock Exchange as he squandered on visionary projects.

If Sir George had been idle or stupid he might have been less
resented by his son, but he was clever and alarmingly
energetic — the cleverest in the family, Alan Pryce-Jones
believed: "On the rare occasions when I observed him in
action, he struck me as a move or two ahead of his children."
He wrote better than they did too, Kenneth Clark maintained:
''I believe that au fond they were all jealous of him." This
opinion is harder to accept. His finest book, On the Making of
Gardens, is clearly based on much travel, study and
reflection, but the style is lush and over-romantic; the
judgments dogmatic — "Flower beds in stars or moons or
rounded figures cannot be right; they are simply unquiet." His
advice to his readers was no doubt soundly based but not
always entirely practical: "The great secret of success in
garden-making [is] that we should abandon the struggle to
make nature beautiful round the house and should rather
move the house to where nature is beautiful." But he did
know a great deal about Italian gardens in particular, his
knowledge of the Middle Ages was extensive and peculiar
and his views were taken seriously by genealogists and social
historians of established reputation.

His problem was that, almost since childhood, there had been
no one to curb his whims, challenge his views, even to make
fun of him. An only son, he had grown arrogant and aloof. His
appearance fitted his character: "a suitable model for Van
Dyck," Harold Acton described him; while Peter Quennell
wrote of "his height, his patrician good looks, the air of
dignified remoteness and self-sufficient impassivity with which
he travelled through existence." Quennell saw something in
him of Meredith's Sir Willoughby Patterne, and certainly few
people can have been so complete an egoist. His view of
contemporary life was almost entirely solipsistic and rendered
the more eccentric by his firm assumption that, whatever
subject might be in question, it had almost certainly been
done better in the Middle Ages. lnevitably this led to a certain
remoteness from contemporary life and an indifference to the

http:// sandiego.citysearch.com/E/G/SANCA/0000/OW 67/ 6/9/00


1st Chapter - Osbert Sitwell - SignOnSanDiego Page 5 of 9

views, the activities, the very existence of other people.
Indeed, he rarely even noticed other people, never knew his
constituents in the days when he was in the House of
Commons, and was capable of walking past his children in
the street without a hint of recognition. At Renishaw, when
confronted by his guests, he would be polite, even convivial,
but he would usually lunch alone an hour before the others
got to table. When Beverley Nichols was introduced to him,
Sir George "merely sniffed and went away to sit by himself in
a corner." Such rudeness was unusual and suggests an
exceptional degree of preoccupation; it was entirely in
character, however, that he should look up in the course of
the meal that followed this aborted introduction and observe
plaintively, ''I never know anybody in this house."

"Sir George is the strangest old bugger you ever met," his
butler, Henry Moat, once remarked to the composer Constant
Lambert. He was prodigal when it came to acquiring works of
art or constructing grandiose architectural follies, but would
parsimoniously examine the smallest item on a bill or an
estimate and was convinced that everyone except himself
was guilty of the most wanton extravagance and must be
curbed in their excesses. Osbert attributed this obsession to
the depredations made on the family fortune in the nineteenth
century by the army of poor relations who took up residence
at Flenishaw and exploited their host with parasitic vigour: "To
be financially safe, he felt, one should be friendless. ‘Such a
mistake,’ he remarked to me once without explanation, ‘to
have friends."' Sir George devoted much of his energies to
worrying about money and was preoccupied by thoughts of
his incipient pauperdom. His fears were fanned by the
monumental extravagance of his wife..

Sir George’s father-in-law, Henry Denison, first Earl of
Londesborough, spent on a scale which made the Sitwells
seem like cheese-paring niggards. The family had amassed
an immense fortune in the City of London in the mid-
eighteenth century and their wealth was augmented by
Elizabeth Denison, Marchioness of Conyngham, mistress of
George lV. Osbert gallantly defended the reputation of his
forebear in his autobiography but she remains one of the
most rapacious harpies ever to have plundered the royal
coffers. The Conynghams’ son, Lord Albert, inherited the
Denison millions, took their name, and became first Baron
Londesborough. His son, Henry, became an earl and pushed
still further into the upper reaches of the aristocracy by
marrying a daughter of the Duke of Beaufort. He thus
ensured that their younger daughter Ida, the future Lady Ida
Sitwell, could claim direct descent from the Plantagenets.
History was not Lady |da’s strong point and she seems to

have taken little pleasure in her royal ancestry; to her
children, however, it was a subject for infinite satisfaction.
With alarming zest, Lord Londesborough squandered the
huge fortune that he had inherited on race-horses, grand
houses, theatrical productions and other such diversions of
the very rich. By the time Ida needed to look for a husband
her fami|y’s wealth had been dramatically reduced; she, on
the other hand, had been imbued with the conviction that
there was nothing which she could not afford, no whim which
it was not merely permissible but desirable to indulge.

Sir George Sitwell was an ardent genealogist and regarded
his wife’s lineage with all due deference. Lady Ida was also
beautiful, and charming in a vapid, prattling way. By the
standards of the time she was a most suitable match for a
wealthy but not particularly grandiose baronet. In fact the
combination proved disastrous. She was a stupid woman,
"slightly mentally retarded" thought Harold Acton, and she
was neither able nor willing to accompany her husband on his
intellectual adventures. ''l have been much alone all my life,''
Sir George told Osbert sadly, "as your mother could not be
and did not try to be a companion." Confronted by his
indifference she retreated into a twilight life of bridge, bad
novels and social fatuity. Until disaster struck she was never
actively miserable — most strong emotions were beyond her
— but she suffered from a nagging discontent. "Have you
ever been happy?" she one night asked her daughter Edith.
"Yes, Mother. Haven't you?" "Never bird-happy." Perhaps
with encouragement she could have learned to tread new
territories but she lacked both animation and application:
"One always felt boredom was just round the corner," her
cousin by marriage, Constance Sitwell, remembered.

She loved flowers — preferably when out of season and
expensive — rich scents and fabrics, beautiful jewels, but was
inordinately generous and scattered her valuable possessions
among her friends and relations with the same unthinking
prodigality as she had acquired them. She recognised her
extravagance but could do nothing to control it: ''I can't go to
Paris," she once explained to Anthony Powell. "|‘ll spend
money like a drunken sailor." It was as if only by spending
could she keep ennui at bay; an attitude which filled her
hyperactive husband with perplexed alarm. Her profligacy
drove a fresh wedge between them; by the time their
youngest child was born their relationship oscillated between
cool neutrality and out-and-out dislike. When talking to the
nine-year-old Osbert about his ancestors, Sir George once
murmured pensively: "We've been working up towards
something for a long time, for well over a century." Though he
was in fact to take considerable pride in his children‘s

achievements it is unlikely that he was contemplating a career
in literature when he predicted this resplendent future —
something more political or pro-consular must have been
what he had in mind. It was therefore something of a
disappointment to him when his first child was a daughter, a
disappointment that grew ever more severe as it became
obvious that Edith was not going to mature into the sort of
amiable, attractive and intellectually unassuming girl who
could be expected to marry well and thus redress the initial
solecism of her sex.

To you, sad child, upon the darkened stair, Poor flaxen
foundling of the upper air,

Osbert dedicated one of his earlier books of verse, and the
image of Edith as a sad child — lonely, unfulfilled, at odds
with the world in which she lived — emerges strikingly from all
recollections of her family at the time. ''I had a very terrible
childhood and youth, so terrible that I never think of it and
never mention it," she told Stephen Spender many years
later. In fact, she rarely ceased to brood on it and mentioned
it repeatedly, but to the outside eye it does not seem that it
was so very terrible. She was not treated cruelly, nor even
seriously neglected. She might have been happier if she had
been. Her trouble was that her parents tried to turn her into
something that she could never be and failed to understand,
or even to try to understand, her true potentiality. "What are
you going to be when you are grown up?" a friend of her
mother asked her. "A genius," Edith replied. Sir George,
though with some doubts, might have accommodated a
genius as a son but in a daughter such pretensions had to be
resolutely curbed: the weapons used were gymnastics, the
cello, and horrific contraptions of rubber and steel intended to
adjust physical deficiencies which the doctors had detected or
imagined in her legs, back and nose. ''I doubt whether any
child was ever more mismanaged by her parents," wrote
Osbert. Whether or not, objectively, she had good grounds for
being so miserable is neither here nor there: as Victoria
Glendinning has remarked in her brilliantly sympathetic
biography, ''l have ended up with a great respect for her, and
a very protective feeling, because of the loneliness and fear
that were her almost constant companions." Any illusions
Edith might have cherished about her importance in her
parents‘ eyes were dispelled at the birth of Osbert on 6
December 1892 when she was five years old. The rejoicing in
the household, the ringing of bells in the churches of his
birthplace, Scarborough, must quickly have convinced her
that something of great consequence had occurred. An heir
had been born, and a mere daughter found herself relegated

even further into the background. It was not just a matter of
status or comparative importance: Lady lda, whom Edith
would have loved with passion if she had been given even the
least encouragement, made a fuss of her son in a way her
daughter had never experienced. Osbert was allowed to crawl
over her bed, disorganise her papers, inspect her scents and
jewellery; Edith had barely been tolerated in her bedroom.
This was not just a tribute to the generally accepted myth of
male superiority. Edith was gauche and superficially
unattractive: a silly mother who relished pretty things was
unlikely to find many charms in such a child, or to extend to it
any great part of her limited capacity for affection.

Another five years on, and the family was completed by the
birth of Sacheverell. Sachie, as he was invariably called,
found life less stressful than his elder siblings. He was an
attractive and relatively uncomplicated child for whom it was
as natural to love and be loved as it was difficult for his sister.
Five years between brothers is a formidable gap but Edith’s
disappearance into a world of governesses and music
lessons left Osbert hungry for companionship. ''I suppose that
when he was a very small child I understood him better than
did anyone else," wrote Osbert. "l instinctively comprehended
what he wanted to say, before others could: and on this
foundation our friendship was soundly based." Friendship
was an inadequate word for a relationship that was
emotionally and intellectually intense; until Osbert went to
boarding school the brothers shared a room, talked endlessly,
and were as near inseparable as the demands of grown-ups
would allow. They did not wilfully exclude their sister but
inevitably at this stage of their lives she was a distant figure.
Their father was still more remote but Lady lda showed
Sachie the same warm affection as Osbert already enjoyed.
Edith later accused her younger brother of inventing a
relationship which had never existed; Sachie "created for
himself a wonderful dream-mother who understood
everything and shielded him in some extraordinary way." The
facts "were sadly and terribly different." She conceded,
though, that Sachie had been sheltered from the worst
afflictions of an unhappy childhood; "the horror was all mine."
"The facts" seem to have been that Lady lda was put off and
slightly frightened by her intransigent daughter while
regarding her sons as delightful playthings to be indulged and
exhibited to her friends. Such an attitude did not provide a
promising basis for a |ifetime’s relationship between a mother
and her children but it served well enough while the boys
were uncritical and undemanding.

$3 Tollemache Family - When Sir Thomas Wilbraham of the Wilbraham family of Woodhey died in 1692 his

Cheshire estates, including the manors of Mottram and Tintwistle and the lordship of Longdendale, were
inherited by his son-in-law Lyonel Tollemache, the earl of Dysart in Scotland. The Tollemache family were
absentee landlords throughout their period of ownership and employed a steward to run their extensive
Longdendale estates. There were at least 25 tenants in Mottram in 1727, and 100 tenants in 1799. In 1873
the family held 25,830 acres in Cheshire, which returned an annual gross rental of £27,602 11s. Although
the Tollemache family sold parts of their north-east Cheshire estates in 1841 and 1852, most lands were
kept until the Mottram estate was sold in 1919. The title of the lord of Longdendale was retained by the
family until it too was sold, in 1980, to Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council.

CHAPTER XVIII
THE GREAT DEPRESSION AND RECOVERY, 1874-1914

Industrial crisis; special difficulties of farmers; the weather and foreign competition; Richmond Commission, 1879-82; further depression touching bottom in I896;
Royal Commission of 1893; changeover from arable to grass farming; migration of dairy farmers from north and west; growth of milk production; cheapening of
cultivation; returning prosperity in the new century.

SINCE 1862 the tide of agricultural prosperity had ceased to flow; after 1874 it turned, and rapidly ebbed. A period of
depression began which, with some fluctuations in severity, continued throughout the rest of the reign of Queen Victoria,
and beyond.

Depression is a word which is often loosely used. It is generally understood to mean a reduction, in some cases an
absence, of profit, accompanied by a consequent diminution of employment. To some extent the condition has probably
become chronic. A decline of interest on capital lent or invested, a rise in wages of labour, an increased competition for the
earnings of management, caused by the spread of education and resulting in the reduction or stationary character of those
earnings, are permanent not temporary tendencies of civilisation. So far as these symptoms indicate a more general
distribution of wealth, they are not disquieting. But, from time to time, circumstances combine to produce acute conditions
of industrial collapse which may be accurately called depression. Such a crisis occurred in agriculture from 1875 to 1884,
and again from 1891 to 1899.

Industrial undertakings are so inextricably interlaced that agricultural depression cannot be entirely dissevered from
commercial depression. Exceptional periods of commercial difficulty had for the last seventy years recurred with such
regularity as to give support to a theory of decennial cycles. In previous years, each recurring period had resulted in a
genuine panic, clue as much to defective information as to any real scarcity of loanable capital. The historic failure of
Overend and Gurney in 1866 and the famous "Black Friday" afford the last example of this acute form of crisis. Better
means of obtaining accurate intelligence, more accessible supplies of capital, the greater stability of the Bank of England
have combined with other causes to minimise the risk of financial stampedes. But, though periods of depression cease to
produce the old—fashioned panic, they are not less exhausting, Their approach is more gradual; so also is the recovery.
Disaster and revival are no longer concentrated in a few months. Years pass before improvement is apparent; the
magnitude of the distress is concealed by its diffusion over a longer period. The agricultural depressions of 1875-84 and of
1891-99 had all the characteristics of the modern type of financial crisis.

In 1870 had begun an inflation of prices. The outbreak of the Franco-German War and the withdrawal of France and
Germany from commercial competition enabled England to increase her exports; the opening of the Suez Canal (1869)
stimulated the shipbuilding trade; the railway development in Germany and America created an exceptional demand for
coal and iron. Expanding trade increased the consuming power of the population, and maintained the prices of agricultural
produce. The wisest or wealthiest landowners refused the temptation to advance rents on sitting tenants. But in many
cases rents were raised, or farms were tendered for competition. Farmers became infected with the same spirit of
gambling which in trade caused the scramble for the investment of money in hazardous enterprises. In their eagerness for
land they were led into reckless biddings, which raised rentals beyond reasonable limits. In 1874 the reaction began.
Demand had returned to normal limits; but the abnormal supply continued Over—production was the result. The decline of
the coal and iron trade, the stoppage, partial or absolute, of cotton mills, disputes between masters and men,
complications arising out of the Eastern question, the default on the Turkish debt, disturbances of prices owing to
fluctuations in the purchasing power of gold and silver, combined to depress every industry. In 1878 the extent to which
trade had been undermined was revealed by the failure of the Glasgow, Caledonian, and West of England Banks. One
remarkable feature of the crisis was that it was not local but universal. New means of communication had so broken down
the barriers of nations that the civilised world suffered together. Everywhere prices fell, trade shrank, insolvencies
multiplied. In the United States the indirect consequences of the industrial collapse of 1873-4 proved to be of disastrous
importance to English farming. A railway panic, a fall in the price of manufactured articles, a decline in wages drove
thousands out of the towns to settle as agriculturists on the virgin soils of the West.

English farming suffered from the same causes as every other home industry. In addition, it had its own special
difficulties. The collapse of British trade checked the growth of the consuming power at home at the same time that a
series of inclement seasons, followed by an overwhelming increase of foreign competition, paralysed the efforts of farmers.
For three years in succession, bleak springs and rainy summers produced short cereal crops of inferior quality, mildew in
wheat, mould in hops, blight in other crops, disease in cattle, rot in sheep, throwing heavy lands into foul condition,
deteriorating the finer grasses of pastures. In 1875-6 the increasing volume of imports prevented prices from rising to
compensate deficiencies in the yield of corn. The telegraph, steam carriage by sea and land, and low freights, consequent
on declining trade, annihilated time and distance, destroyed the natural monopoly of proximity, and enabled the world to
compete with English producers in the home markets on equal, if not more favourable, terms. Instead of there being one
harvest every year, there was now a harvest in every month of each year. In 1877 prices advanced, owing to the progress
of the Russo—Turkish War. But the potato crops failed, and a renewed outbreak of the cattle-plague, though speedily
suppressed, hit stockowners hard. The tithe rent-charge was nearly £12 above its par value. Rates were rising rapidly.

English Farming: Chapter XVIII Page 2 Of 5

Land-agents began to complain of the scarcity of eligible tenants for vacant corn-land. During the sunless ungenial summer
of 1879, with its icy rains, the series of adverse seasons culminated in one of the worst harvests of the century, in an _
outbreak of pieuropneumonia and foot—and—mouth disease among cattle, and among sheep a disastrous attack of the liver
rot, which inflicted an enormous loss on flockmasters. The English wheat crop scarcely averaged 15‘/2 bushels to the acre.
In similar circumstances, farmers might have been compensated for the shortness of yield by an advance in price. This was
no longer the case in 1879. America, which had enjoyed abundant harvests, poured such quantities of wheat into the
country as to bring down prices below the level of the favourable season of the preceding year. At the same time,
American cheese so glutted the market as to create a record for cheapness. Thus, at the moment when English farmers
were already enfeebled by their loss of capital, they were met by a staggering blow from foreign competition. They were
fighting against low prices as well as adverse seasons.

English farmers were, in fact, confronted with a new problem. How were they to hold their own in a treacherous climate
on highly rented land, whose fertility required constant renewal, against produce raised under more genial skies on cheaply
rented soils, whose virgin richness needed no fertilisers? To a generation familiar with years of a prosperity which had
enabled English farmers to extract more from the soil than any of their foreign rivals, the changed conditions were
unintelligible. The new position was at first less readily understood, because the depression was mainly attributed to the
accident of adverse seasons, and because the grazing and dairying districts had as yet escaped. Thousands of tenants ori
corn—growing lands were unable to pay their rents. In many instances they were kept afloat by the help of wealthy
landlords. But every landowner is not a Dives; the majority sit at the rich man's gate. In most cases there was no
reduction of rents. Remissions, sometimes generous, sometimes inadequate, were made and renewed from time to time.
Where the extreme urgency of the case was imperfectly realised, many old tenants were ruined. It was not till farms were
relet that the necessary reductions were made, and then the men who profited were new occupiers.

If any doubt still existed as to the reality of the depression, especially in corn-growing districts, it was removed by the
evidence laid before the Duke of Richmond's Commission, which sat from 1879 to 1882. The Report of the Commission
established, beyond possibility of question, the existence of severe and acute distress, and attributed its prevalence,
primarily to inclement seasons, secondarily to foreign competition. It was generally realised that the shrinkage in the
margin of profit on the staple produce of agriculture was a more or less permanent condition, and that rents must be
readjusted. Large reductions were made between 1880 and 1884, and it was calculated that in England and Wales alone
the annual letting value of agricultural land was thus decreased by 53/4 millions. Yet in many cases the rent nominally
remained at the old figure. Only remissions were granted, which were uncertain in amount, and therefore disheartening in
effect. According to Sir James Caird's evidence given in 1886, before the Royal Commission on Depression of Trade, the
yearly income of landlords, tenants, and labourers had diminished since 1876 by £42,800,000.

The worst was by no means over. On the contrary, the pressure of foreign competition gradually extended to other
branches of agriculture. The momentum of a great industry in any given direction cannot be arrested in a day; still less can
it be diverted towards another goal without a considerable expenditure of time and money. Unreasonable complaints were
made against the obstinate conservatism of agriculturists, because they were unable to effect a costly change of front as
easily as a man turns in his bed. The aims and methods of farming were gradually adapted to meet the changed
conditions. As wheat, barley, and oats declined towards the lowest prices of the century, increased attention was paid to
grazing, dairying, and such minor products as vegetables, fruit, and poultry. The corn area of England and Wales shrank
from 8,244,392 acres in 1871 to 5,886,052 acres in 1901. Between the same years the area of permanent pasture
increased from 11,367,298 acres to 15,399,025 acres. Yet before the change was complete farmers once more found
themselves checkmated. The old adage "Down horn, up corn“ had once held true. Now both were down together. Till 1885
the prices of fat cattle had been well maintained, and those of sheep till 1890. Both were now beginning to decline before
the pressure of foreign competition. Up till 1877 both cattle and sheep had been chiefly sent in alive from European
countries. Now, America and Canada joined in the trade, and the importation of dead meat rapidly increased.
Consignments were no longer confined to beef and pigs’ meat. New Zealand and the Republic of Argentina entered the
lists. The imports of mutton, which in 1882 did not exceed 181,000 cwts., and chiefly consisted of meat boiled and tinned,
rose in 1899 to 31/2 million cwts. of frozen carcases. The importation of cheese rose by more than a third; that of butter
was doubled; that of wool increased more than two-fold. Meanwhile the outgoings of the farmer were steadily mounting

upwards. Machinery cost more; labour rose in price and deteriorated in efficiency. The expenses of production rose as the
profits fell.

Some attempt was made by Parliament to relieve the industry. The recommendations of the Richmond Commission were
gradually carried into effect. Grants were made in aid of local taxation. Measures were adopted to stamp out disease
amongst live-stock, and to protect farmers against the adulteration of feeding-stuffs, and against the sale of spurious
butter and cheese. The primary liability for tithe rent-charge was transferred from occupiers to owners (1891). The law
affecting limited estates in land was modified by the Settled Lands Act (1882). A Railway and Canal Traffic Act was passed,
which attempted to equallse rates on the carriage of home and foreign produce. The permissive Agricultural Holdings Act of
1875, which was not incorrectly described as a "homily to landlords" on the subject of unexhausted improvements, was
superseded by a more stringent measure and a modification of the law of distress (1883). A Minister of Agriculture was
appointed (1889), and an Agricultural Department established. But the legislature was powerless to provide any
substantial help. Food was, so to speak, the currency in which foreign nations paid for English manufactured goods, and its
cheapness was an undoubted blessing to the wage—earning community. Thrown on their own resources, agriculturists
fought the unequal contest with courage and tenacity. But, as time went on, the stress told more and more heavily.
Manufacturing populations seemed to seek food-markets everywhere except at home. Enterprise gradually weakened;
landlords lost their ability to help, farmers their recuperative power. Prolonged depression checked costly improvements.
Drainage was practically discontinued. Both owners and occupiers were engaged in the task of making both ends meet on

English Farming: Chapter XVIII P399 3 Of 5

vanishing incomes. Land deteriorated in condition; less labour was employed; less stock was kept; bills for cake and
fertilisers were reduced. The counties which suffered most were the corn—growing districts, in which high farming had won
its most signal triumphs. On the heavy clays of Essex, for example, thousands of acres, which had formerly yielded great
crops and paid high rents, had passed out of cultivation into ranches for cattle or temporary sheep-runs. On_the light soils
of Norfolk, where skill and capital had wrested large profits from the reluctant hand of Nature, there were widespread rum
and bankruptcy. Throughout the Eastern, Midland, and Southern counties,wherever the land was so heavy or so light that
its cultivation was naturally unremuneratlve, the same conditions prevailed. The West on the whole, suffered less severely.
Though milk and butter had fallen in price, dairy-farmers were profiting by the cheapness of grain, which was ruining their
corn—growing neighbours. Almost everywhere retrenchment, not development, was the enforced policy of agriculturists.
The expense of laying land down to grass was shirked, and arable areas which were costly to work were allowed to tumble
down to rough pasture. Economy ruled in farm management; labour bills were reduced, and the number of men employed
on the land dwindled as the arable area contracted.

During the years 1883-90, better seasons, remissions of rent, the fall in tithes, relief from some portion of the burden of
rates, had arrested the process of impoverishment. To some extent the heavy land, whether arable or pasture, which wet
seasons had deteriorated, recovered its tone and condition. But otherwise there was no recovery. Landlords and tenants
still stood on the verge of ruin. Only a slight impulse was needed to thrust them over the border line. Two cold summers
(1891—2), the drought in 1893, the unpropitious harvest of 1894, coupled with the great fall in prices of corn, cattle,
sheep, wool, butter, and milk produced a second crisis, scarcely, if at all, less acute than that of 1879. In this later period
of severe depression, unseasonable weather played a less important part than before. But in all other respects the position
of agriculturists was more disadvantageous than at the earlier period. Foreign competition had relaxed none of its
pressure; on the contrary, it had increased in range and in intensity. Nothing now escaped its influence. But the great
difference lay in the comparative resources of agriculturists. In 1879 the high condition of the land had supplied farmers
with reserves of fertility on which to draw; now, they had been drawn upon to exhaustion. In 1879, again, both landlords

and tenants were still possessed of capital; now, neither had any money to spend in attempting to adapt their land to new
conditions.

In September, 1893, a Royal Commission was appointed to enquire into the depression of agriculture. The evidence
made a startling revelation of the extent to which owners and occupiers of land, and the land itself, had been impoverished
since the Report of the Duke of Richmond's Commission. It showed that the value of produce had diminished by nearly one
half, while the cost of production had rather increased than diminished; that quantities of corn—land had passed out of
cultivation; that its restoration, while the present prices prevailed, was economically impossible; that its adaptation to
other uses required an immediate outlay which few owners could afford to make. Scarcely one bright feature relieved the
gloom of the outlook. Foreign competition had falsified all predictions. No patent was possible for the improved processes
of agriculture; they could be appropriated by all the world. The skill which British farmers had acquired by half a century of
costly experiments was turned against them by foreign agriculturists working under more favourable conditions. Even
distance ceased to afford its natural protection either of time or cost of conveyance, for not even the perishable products of
foreign countries were excluded from English markets. Yet the evidence collected by the Commission established some
important facts. It proved that many men, possessed of ample capital and energy, who occupied the best equipped farms,
enjoyed the greatest liberty in cropping, kept the best stock, and were able to continue high farming, had weathered the
storm even on heavy land; that small occupiers employing no labour but their own had managed to pull through; that, on
suitable soils, market gardening and fruit—farming had proved profitable; that, even on the derelict clays of Essex, Scottish
milk—farmers had made a living. At no previous period, it may be added, in the history of farming were the advantages and
disadvantages of English land—ownership more strongly illustrated. Many tenants renting land on encumbered estates were
ruined, because their hard—pressed landlords were unable to give them financial help. At least as many were nursed

through the bad times by the assistance of landowners whose wealth was derived from other sources than agricultural
land.

When the extent of the agricultural loss and suffering is considered, the remedies adopted by the legislature seem trivial.
Yet some useful changes were made. Farmers were still further protected against adulteration of cake, fertilisers, and dairy
produce by the provisions of The Fertilisers and Feeding Stuffs Act (1893) and the Sale of Food and Drugs Act (1899). The
Market Gardeners Compensation Act (1895) enabled a tenant, where land was specifically let for market garden purposes,
to claim compensation for all improvements suitable to the business, even though they had been effected without the
consent of the landlord. The Improvement of Land Act (1899) gave landowners increased facilities for carrying out
improvements on borrowed money. The amendment of the Contagious Diseases of Animals Act (1896), requiring all
foreign animals to be slaughtered at the port of landing, was a valuable step towards preventing the spread of infection.
The Agricultural Rates Act (1896) and the subsequent Continuation Acts (1901, etc.), though they were only palliatives
which did not settle the many questions involved in the increasing burden of rates, rendered the load of local taxation for
the moment less oppressive. After all, agriculturists received little assistance from Parliament. They had to help
themselves. Conditions slowly mended. More favourable seasons, rigid economy in expenses, attention to neglected
branches of the industry have combined to lessen the financial strain. But the greatest relief has been afforded by the

substantial reduction in the rents of agricultural land, which has resulted in a fairer adjustment of the economic pressure of
low prices as between owners and occupiers.

The nadir of the great depression came in 1894-95, when the price of wheat per imperial quarter fell to 22s. 10d. and
235. 1d., the lowest figures recorded for 150 years. From that time began a slow but steady rise in prices, sufficient to
counterbalance the definite increase in wages which became manifest between 1895 and the end of the century and indeed
continued, though more gradually, until the outbreak of war in 1914. After 1907 the price of wheat never fell below 305.;
but wheat had become a commodity of less importance to farmers at large, for the acreage had declined to about one and

three-quarter millions. More than anything else milk had become the most money-making product, for the_demand was
continuously increasing with the growth of population and the industrial prosperity of the period. Changes in -the farming
population were marked as the old time arable farmers of the South and East of England, who had persisted in their
traditional but now too expensive methods of cultivation, had to retire. About 1895, rents had really adjusted themselves
to the times, indeed on the heavy lands of Essex, where the reductions of rent had not been rapid or large enough to save
the old tenants, farms could be had on payment of the tithe, and many large estates took the greater part of their farms in
hand rather than let to the sort of men who offered themselves. Tempted by these conditions, Scotchmen migrated. in
numbers from a country where rents were still competitive and brought their knowledge of milk production and their more
economical methods into Essex and Hertfordshire, and to a lesser degree into Kent and Surrey. Similarly, the dairy farmers
of the West drifted into the South and Midlands, from Devonshire and Wales, men who had been bred to live harder and do
their work more economically, if more roughly.

For this was the great lesson that was being learned, how to get the work done on the arable land with less labour. What
with the turning over of arable land to grass (21/2 million acres between 1872, and 1900) and economy in methods,
something like a third of the labouring population left the land in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. There were
other occupations to absorb the men, but none the less this forced exodus left a bitterness against farmers and landlords
among the working classes that has not yet wholly disappeared.

The cheapness of land during this last decade of the nineteenth century gave to many shrewd men who had broken with
tradition and learnt how to farm cheaply an opportunity of putting together exceptionally large farming businesses. S. W.
Farmer of Little Bedwyn was reputed to be farming 20,000 acres at the outbreak of war, at the same time George Baylis of
Wyfield Manor near Newbury was farming over 12,000 acres in Berkshire and Hampshire, growing corn and hay without
any stock, in Lincolnshire men like Dennis and the Wortbs built up great estates on potato growing out of little farms
whose owners had been broken in the depression. These were examples of the success of better farming, but there were
many instances where some sort of a paying return was got out of the land by turning it down to grass and reducing
expenses to a minimum. Such was an estate put together near Ramsbury in Wiltshire, where about 4,000 acres of light
arable land on the chalk were turned into a sheep ranch. In the early 'eighties, there was a hamlet called Snape on one
part of the estate, containing a chapel, fourteen cottages, and a school attended by 44 children. In 1921 the street was
grass—grown and almost obliterated, the buildings were in ruins. The working population had been reduced to a shepherd
and his dog, like the owner, living elsewhere.

Though the accomplishment was irregularly distributed considerable progress in the technique of farming was taking
place. It was no longer possible for landowners and their agents to insist on particular methods of farming; covenants
remained in the agreements, but were ignored as long as the tenant could pay his rent, so the diffusion of better methods
came about by example, not by pressure from above. Indeed, in the main, landlords had accepted the position that there
was little future for farming, that the development of their estates did not offer an outlet for their energies or capital
comparable to those available elsewhere, and that their function was to be easy with their tenants in return for the sport
and the social status that the ownership of land conferred. Their direct interest in agriculture was often confined to the
breeding and showing of pedigree stock, the practical value of which began to be obscured almost in proportion as it
became a rich man's plaything and a form of social competition. Of course, a generalisation of this kind about any of the
classes engaged in agriculture, landlords, tenants, or labourers, is contradicted by a number of individuals, who worked
hard at farming and managed their estates with knowledge and judgment, but none the less this period did witness the
continued disappearance of the landowner as entrepreneur. In general the land was not sold, the possibilities of its
monopoly values were too evident in a country of growing population and increasing industrial prosperity. It is true that
towards the end of the first decade of the twentieth century there arose a number of land speculators who bought up
embarrassed and under—rented estates and offered the farms to the selling tenants at greatly enhanced prices. The
speculators had realised better than the landlords that farming was again a remunerative business and were not afraid of
the odium of making the tenants pay its full value. Moreover, this was a time when considerable political attacks were
being directed against the landlords, without much discrimination between the owners of agricultural land and those who
were reaping "unearned increment" from ground rents in the growing urban areas. Some landowners took alarm and
disembarrassed themselves of an investment which at the time was yielding an inferior rate of interest, yet carried with it
heavy social obligations. Thus the Duke of Bedford sold both his Thorney and Tavistock Estates on terms favourable to the
selling tenants. It was at the very depth of the depression that a beginning was made with State-aided agricultural
education, in the train of which research soon followed. But this will be dealt with e|sewhere,—-results had hardly begun to
accrue before the new century; the first improvements in technique came from the farmers themselves. Machinery was
becoming more general upon the farm, the greatest single improvement having been the self-acting binder, the use of
which began to be general about the end of the ‘eighties, after the introduction of the knotting mechanism and twine. But
haymaking machinery and springtined cultivators were also doing their share in reducing the costs of cultivation and the
amount of labour required upon the arable land. In the more specialised industries change was at work: in hop-growing,
for example, the ‘eighties and early ‘nineties saw the general replacement of the old poles by string and wire erections on
which the bines could be trained so as to get proper exposure to sun and air, and spraying methods were evolved to deal
with blight and mould. Until these improvements began, the methods of hop-growing had not altered in any substantial
respect from those described by Reynolde Scot in 1574. While the use of artificial fertilisers was not growing as rapidly as
in countries like Holland and Germany, that was because the acreage under arable cultivation continued to decline and the
farmers who were winning through were mostly those who relied on keeping their expenses down, yet the knowledge of
how to apply them appropriately was spreading. In the latter years of the nineteenth century one might still meet the
landlord who forbade his tenants to put any artificials on their land or the farmer who had substituted Kainit for nitrate of
soda because it was cheaper, but such instances disappeared as the new century opened out. One new fertiliser, indeed,
was beginning to prove itself of immense value to the grass land which was becoming the mainstay of English farming.
Basic slag was invented in 1879, but it only reached agriculture after 1885, when Wrightson and Munro demonstrated that

http://www.soilandhealth.org/Olaglibrary/010136ernle/O10136ch18.htm 05/07/03


English Farming: Chapter XVIII Page 5 01° 5

its phosphate required no treatment with acid if only the slag was finely ground. It soon showed itself as possessing a
marvellous regenerative value on old pastures, especially on the clay soils on which its application induced a speedy
growth of white clover whereby not only the stock gained but the pasture continued to acquire fertility. While farmers have
always been immediately appreciative of improved strains of seed, it can be said that during the years 1890-1910 their
interest in the value of pure seed and good strains was being continually stimulated, though the history of actual
introductions may best be dealt with under research.

In matters of live-stock the impulse towards the selection and standardisation of a pure breeding strain under the care of
a Breed Society, which had been one of the chief achievements of English farming in the nineteenth century, was still
active, as witness the formation of the following Societies--The Guernsey Cattle Society in 1885, the Dexter and Kerry
Handbook in 1890, the Welsh Black Cattle Society in 1904, the British Holstein (now Friesian) Cattle Society in 1909. Flock
Books began for Shropshires in 1883, Oxfords in 1889, Hampshires in 1890, Lincolnshires in 1892, Romney Marsh in 1895
and many others. Though from some points of view it might be questioned whether all these new breeds were wanted, the
formation of a Society did tune up the general standard in the district occupied by the breed. The chief development during
the period was concerned with milk, the demand for which was continuously increasing with the growing population and
industrial prosperity. The milking capacity of the various breeds received more attention; for example, during this period
the Dairy Shorthorns began to be differentiated and in 1905 an Association was formed in its interests, and herds like
those of Hobbs and Evens obtained a repute to rival the northern beef herds. The necessity for care and cleanliness in the
preparation and despatch of milk to the public was being continually forced upon the farmers by the Health Authorities of
the large towns, who had from time to time experience of milk distributed epidemics. Regulations were enforced
concerning such matters as water supply and air space in cowsheds, and if at times they were uninformed and dictatorial
about the unessentials, they did arouse in the dairy world the sense that success in this growing business depended upon
the purity of the product. It was indeed in the ‘eighties that the process of butter and cheese making, hitherto a matter of
traditional and personal farm practice, were studied and standardised. At the same time the correct temperatures and
acidities were determined so that the desired result could be obtained with certainty. "Creameries" and cheese factories
began to be established in order to handle milk more efficiently and economically. The importations of butter from
Denmark and the Baltic countries was growing rapidly and setting a standard of quality and uniformity that neither the
English nor the Irish market butter could equal, however much a dairymaid here and there could turn out a "gilt—edged"
product such as can never be obtained by factory methods.

However, there is little or no market in England for fine butter at an adequate price; the English dairy farmers could get
a better return by selling raw milk and abandoned the butter market to their foreign and colonial competitors. Only a few
farmers in the West and South—West, Wales and its borders, continued to make butter because the rail communications
precluded them from getting whole milk to market, while they could also turn the separated milk to account by calf-
rearing. The Irish butter making was transformed on Danish lines, their farmers, like the Danish, being content with
returns per gallon well below that expected by the English farmer. The machinery of the dairy was undergoing revolution;
barrel churns replaced the old upright churns in which a dasher worked up and down in the whole milk, the only reminder
of the old shape being the metal churns in which, for a few years longer perhaps, milk will travel by rail. Rail transport
again brought the necessity of milk coolers, though the customers of the small farmers, each with their own milk round,
still demanded "milk warm from the cow.“ But the most important of these machines for the dairyman was the centrifugal
separator of which really efficient types began to be available about 1890, though, as indicated above, the perfecting of
this exquisite machine coincided with the decline and practical extinction of commercial butter-making in England. Among
other labour saving machines that began to appear on the farms towards the close of the nineteenth century were the
small oil engines to run the grinding and food preparation plant, and sheep shearing machines, the use of which grew but
slowly because there were still men enough about to clip the comparatively small flocks running on the usual farm.

The commercial development of poultry rather belongs to the post-war period. Even down to the end of the century
pou|try—keeping still halted between the methods of the fancier and of the farmer who had a mongrel flock picking about
his stack-yard. W. B. Tegetmeier, in his day an authority, was said to have an offer open of £50 for anyone who could
produce an accredited balance sheet showing a year's profit on a poultry farm, excluding those dealing in stock birds or
eggs. About Heathfield in Sussex there was a successful cramming industry producing birds for the table, though the
crammers did no breeding, but bought young birds for fattening from as far afield as Ireland.

The period we are considering, 1890-1914, was also one of expansion and improved technique in market gardening and
fruit growing, industries that were prospering in response not only to the growing population but to a change ‘in the
general dietary. Potato growing, which had proved but a treacherous foundation for the Lincolnshire Yeomen in the
‘seventies and 'eighties, became one of the moneymaking crops for certain selected districts, like the Lothians and Ayrshire
in Scotland, the silt and the warp soils of Lincoln and Yorkshire, the light soils of West Lancashire and Cheshire. Even on
the gravels of Hertfordshire, where Arthur Young had found himself "living in the jaws of a wolf," potato growing brought
wealth to some of the migrants from Scotland. Nothing revolutionary had happened to make the industry so profitable, it
was a good instance of the accumulation of a number of small improvements, each of which could be pooh-poohed as not
worth while by the oldtime farmer. New varieties were being introduced, "Up—to-date“ had a long run about the turn of the
century; the virtue of Scotch seed was recognised, though the reason for its success was yet undiscovered. Boxing the
seed and planting sprouted sets became standard practice; the fertilisers to procure large crops became understood, for
the growers were substantial men willing to spend money and open to advice. Spraying with Bordeaux mixture was
standardised, but did not become general in all districts because many growers preferred to gamble on intermittent
appearance of blight.

Market gardening was increasing and improving its methods, though it was still dependent upon the lavish supplies of

English Farming: Chapter XVIII Page 6 of 6

stable manure that could be obtained from the great towns. Naturally it was segregating into selected areas--the brick
earths of the Thames Valley and North Kent, Bedfordshire, Huntingdon, Wisbech and the Fens, and the Vale of Evesham,
where it was found that asparagus would flourish on stiffish clays, while selected areas in Cornwall could follow the earliest
potato crops with a second crop of autumn and winter broccoli.

Lastly, this period saw the great development of the glass-house cultivation in districts like Worthing, Swanley Junction
and above all the Lea Valley. Fifty years ago the tomato was as great a rarity in England as an Avocado pear is to-day; a
few were imported, a few were grown in private conservatories. In the late ‘eighties market cultivation under glass began
and early in the ‘nineties Worthing tomatoes had established their position as superior to any importations. From that time
until the outbreak of war there was no pause in the extension of the industry. Cucumbers went with the tomatoes, grapes
and Chrysanthemums completed the old cycle; forced bulbs—tulips, narcissus, and iris, were later additions, as again has
been the perpetual flowering carnation, for flowers have become as much a matter of general household expenditure as
tomatoes or eggs.

Looking at the state of agriculture generally the early years of the century may be recalled as a time of quiet but growing
prosperity for farmers. One may read in Farmer's Glory, that singularly faithful presentation of farming life in Wiltshire,
how Mr. A. G. Street, who settled down on his father's farm in 1907, looks back to those years before the war as "the
spacious days," just as the man of an older generation recalled the ‘sixties and early ‘seventies as the good old times. "But
that large tenant farmers were doing pretty well then, there is no question. I suppose the business side of farming had its
worries in those days, but it is difficult to recall any. There were good seasons and bad seasons, doubtless. I can
remember wet weather in harvest time and good weather. Good luck at lambing time and bad I can also call to mind, but
nothing ever seemed to make any difference in our home life. It all seemed such a settled prosperous thing." Again I may
quote my own contemporary opinion, written after a series of farming tours round the United Kingdom in 1910-12. "In the
first place we must recognise that the industry is at present sound and prosperous."

John Moore.3 He was invested as a Knight Grand Cross,

— Order of the Bath (G.C.B.) on 2 January 1815.3 He fought

in the Battle of Waterloo on 18 June 1815, where he
commanded the Anglo-Belgian cavalry, contributing
greatly to the Allied success, although he was wounded
and lost a leg.3 He was created 1st Marquess ofAng/esey
[U.K.] on 4 July 1815.2 He was invested as a Knight of St.
George (K.S.G.) [Russia] on 21 August 1815.3 He was
invested as a Knight of Maria Theresa (K.M.T.) [Austria]
on 21 August 1815.3 He was invested as a Knight Grand
Cross, Hanoverian Order (G.C.H.) in 1816.3 He was
invested as a Knight, Order of the Garter (K.G.) on 19
February 1818.3 He gained the rank of General in 1819.3
He held the office of Lord High Steward [England] in
1821, at the coronation of King George IV.3 He was
invested as a Privy Counsellor (P.C.) in 1827.3 He held
the office of Master General of the Ordnance between


1827 and 1828.3 He held the office of Lord-Lieutenant of
Ireland between 1828 and 1829, although the Tory
Government did not approve of his conduct, and recalled
him.3 He held the office of Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland
between 1830 and 1833, after going over to the Whigs.3
He was awarded the decoration of the Gold Stick in
1842.3 He was Colonel of the Royal Horse Guards
between 1842 and 1854.3 He gained the rank of Field
Marshal in 1846.3 He held the office of Master General of
the Ordnance between 1846 and 1852.3 He held the office
of Lord-Lieutenant of Staffordshire between 1849 and
1854.3

According to Gibbs, he was a brilliant and gallant
cavalry officer, but neither a wise nor a virtuous man. He
was very popular in Ireland during his first, and very
unpopular in his second vice-royalty.3

HAMMOND FAMILY

The origin of this family in England is said to have been traced to two kinsmen of William the
Conqueror, who went into England with him in 1066. These young warriors were descended
from a younger son of Rollo, the first Duke of Normandy, while William the Conqueror was
descended from the eldest son. The eldest of the two early Hammonds in England, Sir Robert
Fitzhamer, seventh Count or Earl of Coneile in Normany, was a mighty man of valor, one of
the most illustrious, of all the valiant knights that accompanied the Conqueror into England.
Later he became Lord Cardiff in Wales, Lord 0 fTrwkesbury, and Earl of Gloucester in
England, and by King Rufus he was made a free Prince of Wales, styled by the King, Robert
the Great, by the grace of God, Prince of Glamorgan, Earle of Coneile, etc. He was also
commissioned general of the army against the French.

The second, Haimon, called Dapifer, from his haveing received the office of Lord Steward for
the King. He died without children. Robert left four daughters.

Later members of this family became prominently identified with the Church, as Bishops,
Abbots, etc. The oldest direct line in England, are the Hammonds of St. Albans Court, in Kent
County, where this branch has been seated since the riegn of Henry VIII, King of England,
when John Hammond was tenant to the Abbot and Convent of St. Albans; his son Thomas
purchased the manor in 1551; and married (first) Anne, daughter of Robert Haddle and
(second) Alice, daughter of Edward Monnis of Waldershire, by whom he had ten children.
Two of his grandsons, Francis and Robert became distinguished in the Army, each winning the
title of Colonel; they accompanied Sir Walter Raleigh on his expedition to Guinea, and won the
praise of that gallant soldier.

Sir William Hammond, of St. Albans, who received the honor of Knighthood, 1608, married

http://www.tcnet.net/hammons/histOry.html O6/O9/O1


HAMMONS HISTORY PAGE Page 2 of 19

Elizabeth, daughter of Anthony Archer, Esq., of Bishopsborne and had issue: Sir Anthoney,
his eldest son and heir, who married Ann daughter of Sir Dudley Digges, Knight of Chillam
Castle, Master of Rolls to King Charles I, and member of the Council of the Virginia Co., 1609.

Through this kinship, Ralph Hamor or Hammond, proved by foreign research to be one and
the same, was one of the twelve gentlemen, to whom King James I, in 1624, granted a charter
to proceed to Virginia to establish a colony, of which he appointed Sir Francis Wyatt,
Governor; Sir George Yeardly, Knight, and the other ten gentlemen, Esq., to be his council.
This Ralph Hamor the first of the name in America, was of the Hammonds of Aerin of Kent
Co., England; he was a younger son of that house, whose lineage is the same as the Hammonds
of St. Albans, but being the heir of a younger son, their arms are different.

During the reign of Charles I and II, the Hammonds, were high in office in England, Dr John
Hammond, was Court Physician to King James I., and his son, was Chaplain to Charles I, and
another son came to Virginia, and was a member of the House of Burguess, from Isle of Wight
Co., 1635-1652; he then went to Maryland, where he remained a few years, before returning to
England, where he wrote "Leak and Rachel" describing the Colonies of Maryland and
Virginia. Yet another son of Dr. John Hammond, was a Lieut. Gen. in Cromwells Army, and
his grandson, a son of Thomas Hammond, was Col. Robert Hammond, Governor of the Isle of
Wight, England, and it was to this Col. Robert Hammond, that King Charles I, fled for
protection when driven from his throne, Col. Robert being loyal to his King, gave him shelter
beneath his roof, which act of loyalty cost him his office.

ALABAMA

Richmond F. Hammond(17 March 1832-18 July 1882) One of the most influential pioneer
families of Attalla, AL., was Richmond F. Hammond, his wife Mary Elizabeth. Having moved to
Attalla about 1872. They had been living on his father's farm of 3,000 acres in St. Clair Co. Al. his
father settled there in 1820. They had 67 slaves which the Civil War freed and this farm was to big
and non profitable so Richmond decided that for his children to have better advantages he moved to
Attalla. He bought a block of land there and shortly there after died.

Mary Elizabeth being a forceful woman, who had a head for business made a fortune with the aid of
her sons and daughters. Two children had died in infancy and this left seven whom grew to maturity.
Sons, Albert, Joseph W.,B. Pope, John B.and Newton. Daughters, Nena and Bevans All were
successful business men. Albert died at age 27. The others all accumulated large fortunes and

property. B. Pope became a lawyer and went to McAlister OK. Bevens married John Staton. Neva
never married.

To show the close relations of the slaves to the owners: the following took place.

After the Battle of Gettysburg Mary Elizabeth collected about $3,000 in Union silver. She turned it
over to one of the two slave overseers, uncle Joe and told him to hide it and not tell her where it was
hidden so she could resist pressure of disclosing its location. When Richmond returned from the war
he ask his wife if she had any money. She told him to ask uncle Joe, the slave who had been made
overseer. Which he did. The money was found hidden under the marble slab of a grave in the family
graveyard. With freedom given his slaves, Richmond gave uncle Joe and uncle John sections of land
and a year's supply of food and clothing. Not only did he show his appreciation of their loyalty this
way. He named his sons after them, Joe and John.

The Electronic Calendar of the
Carte Papers, 1660-87

The Carte Papers

The Carte papers in the Bodleian Library comprise vast collections of
original papers from various sources which Thomas Carte amassed in
preparation for the publication of his biography of James Butler, 1st Duke
of Ormond, in 1735-6. There are 276 large volumes, comprising Ormond,
Fitzwilliam, Chichester, Sandwich, Wharton, Huntingdon and Nairn papers
largely relating to the history of Britain and Ireland in the period 1560-
1715.

The largest group, forming the core of the Carte MSS., is the 111
volumes of the papers of James Butler, 12th Earl and 1st Duke of
Ormond (1610-88). Ormond was created Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in
1644, having commanded the army there since 1640. Ormond led the
war effort against the Confederate Catholics who had set up in opposition
to the Dublin government in 1642 and effectively ruled much of Ireland.
Subsequently Ormond conducted a series of peace negotiations with the
Confederates, as Charles I sought Irish support against his English
Parliament. Ormond went into exile in 1650 following military defeat by
Cromwell's invading forces. After the Restoration in 1660, Ormond was a
leading minister to Charles II, and was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland twice
more before his death in 1688.

The Ormond papers among the Carte MSS. are the major source for the
Civil War and Restoration era in Irish history. In effect, they form the
archive of the royal administration there, but their significance goes far
beyond this. Many of the original records of the Irish administration were
destroyed as a result of war and fires from the 18th to the 20th
centuries. The archives of the Confederate government are no longer
extant, and so Ormond's correspondence with the leaders of the
Confederation is a major source for this crucial period in Irish history
Ormond's papers include correspondence with leading Irish political
figures of the period, as well as correspondence with King Charles I and II
and leading English ministers relating to Irish affairs. The papers also
richly document the complexities of the Restoration settlement in Ireland
and the difficulties of dealing with the land claims of former Cromwellian
soldiers, royalists and loyal Catholics. The numerous petitions from Irish
citizens are a rich source for local and family history as well as for the
social and economic condition of Ireland.

The Ormond papers have long been recognised as a major source for
17th century Irish history, and are cited in numerous works. Carte
himself published a number of letters in his Life of Ormonde; J.T. Gilbert


published many documents in his History of the Irish confederation and
the war in Ireland, 1641 (1882-91), and A contemporary history of affairs
in Ireland, 1641-52 (1879-80). However, the vast bulk of the papers
remain unpublished.

The Carte Calendar

Between 1877 and 1883 Edward Edwards produced a calendar of the
entire Carte collection, itself comprising 75 volumes. It had been intended
to publish the calendar, but deterred by the difficulties of its sheer bulk
and complexity, the Library decided not to go ahead with publication. The
calendar is therefore only available in the Bodleian Library, though some
Irish libraries have microfilm copies.

The calendar gives an abstract of every paper in the Carte collection in
chronological order. It is written in a not always easy Victorian hand, and
it has no index. For users interested in particular persons, places or
subjects, there is no means of access.

The ‘Religion and Rebellion‘ project

The History of Parliament Trust and the Bodleian Library have formed a
partnership to carry out the ‘Religion and Rebellion‘ project, and funding
has been secured from the Heritage Lottery Fund to keyboard all the
calendar entries for the period 1660-87. This will unlock the untapped
riches of the Carte collection by producing an electronic version of the
calendar available to all over the internet. This period includes a great
deal of important material for the study of Restoration Ireland, but also
includes two further collections of papers acquired by Carte: the papers
of Edward Montagu (1625-72), 1st Earl of Sandwich, admiral and envoy
to Spain; and some of the papers of Philip Wharton (1613-96) 4th Baron
Wharton, and his son Thomas Wharton (1648-1716), 1st Marquess of
Wharton. These entries will be combined with an electronic version of the
summary catalogue description of the Carte papers and be made
available by Summer 2005 through the % (Access to Archives) gateway
to archival descriptions. The calendar will also be presented on this page
in its original chronological form, and here volumes will be mounted as
they are completed.

The intention is to reproduce the calendar as it stands, with changes in
layout to clarify the information in its new electronic context. The
omissions and mistakes of the original calandar will therefore be
duplicated at this stage unless they are very obvious without recourse to
checking the original papers. However, in creating an online version we
have the opportunity to amend the text at any time in the future, and we
would be grateful if users could bring any errors they have noticed to our
attention.

The Bodleian Library aims to build on this project, and will be seeking
funding to extend the conversion of the Carte Calendar to include the
very important papers relating to the government of Ireland c.1560-
1660, and papers relating to the exiled Stuarts from 1689-1720.
