Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Account of the Families of Lennard and Barrett: Compiled Largely From Original Documents Some years ago it seemed desirable to move the whole collection of documents from Belhus to Horsford, where for a considerable period I did nothing with them beyond giving them house-room, and sending many of them to the Record Office for inspection by the Historical Manuscripts Commission. The Commission have reported on them twice - viz. XIII. Report, Appendix 4, and Report on Various Collections, Vol. III. One day I called the attention of my friend Mr. Walter Rye.

Book excerpt: The Lennard family of Chevening, Kent descends from a George Lennard who was living there at the time of Henry VI. His father was named John and was living in Chepsted, Kent in 1440. The Lennard family married into the Fynes and Dacre families, both of whom were lesser nobility. Upon marrying into the noble houses of Fynes and Dacre, the Lennards inherited the title of Lord Dacre. In 1674 the ninth Baron Dacre married Anne FitzRoy, illegitimate daughter of King Charles II. Charles II readily recognized her as his daughter and freely bestowed gifts to her. In this manner, Thomas, ninth Baron Dacre was made Earl of Sussex. Another branch of the Lennard family married into and took the name Barrett, as well as the title of Lord Newburgh. Descendents of the various Lennard branches may be found in England and the United States.

Lord Dacre says it is doubtful if he had any by Margaret, although one pedigree gives two daughters, Elizabeth and Frydswid,1 both said to have died unmarried. John Barrett died on October 24th, 1526, and his inquisition was held on October 21st in the following year; this shows that he died possessed of rather less than 1,400 acres of land round Belhus; small properties in Hornchurch and Havering atte Bower, and about 600 acres in Sutton, near Rochford. Lord Dacre remarks that this inquisition was carelessly taken, and contains several inaccuracies. From John's will we learn that he had a house in St. Vedast's Lane, London, and that his brother-in-law, Lewes Harpsfield, had been the cause of his losing considerable sums of money for which he appears to have become security. The directions the will contains as to his funeral are interesting, and so are his bequests of furniture and jewellery, for which reason I have given some of them in full. This will is dated October 14th, 1526, and was proved on February 23rd following. In it he describes himself as 'John Barrett Esquire Register.'2 He orders his body, if he dies in London, to be buried by the bodies of his well-beloved wives Phillipa and Margaret, and if he dies in Essex, by the body of his wife Elizabeth. He also gives somewhat minute directions as to the way in which his funeral is to be conducted. He says: --I will charge myne executors that my body be buryed wtout any pomp of the worlde oonley wt xij torches, and no mo, except iiij or vj hand torches to be borne by my servants, beinge my household servants, and to have their Lyvery, or my tenants about my corpse at the tyme of my buringe;3 wherof after the same my buringe don, I bequeath two of the sayde torches to..

Book  The Feminine Dynamic in English Art  1485 603

Download or read book The Feminine Dynamic in English Art 1485 603 written by SusanE. James and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A significant contribution to the understanding of sixteenth-century English art in an historical context, this study by Susan James represents an intensive rethinking and restructuring of the Tudor art world based on a broad, detailed survey of women's diverse creative roles within that world. Through an extensive analysis of original documents, James examines and clarifies many of the misperceptions upon which modern discussions of Tudor art are based. The new evidence she lays out allows for a fresh investigation of the economics of art production, particularly in the images of Elizabeth I; of strategies for influencing political situations by carefully planned programs of portraiture; of the seminal importance of extended clans of immigrant Flemish artists and of careers of artists Susanna Horenboult and Lievine Teerlinc and their impact on the development of the portrait miniature. Drawn principally from primary sources, this book presents important new research which examines the contributions of Tudor women in the formation, distribution and popularization of the visual arts, particularly portraiture and the portrait miniature. James highlights the involvement of women as patrons, consumers and creators of art in sixteenth-century England and their use of the painted image as a statement of cultural worth. She explores and analyzes the amount of time, money, effort and ingenuity which women across all social classes invested in the development of art, in the uses they found for it, and the surprising and unexpected ways in which they exploited it.

Book Locating Privacy in Tudor London

Download or read book Locating Privacy in Tudor London written by Lena Cowen Orlin and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2007-12-13 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Locating Privacy in Tudor London asks new questions about where private life was lived in the early modern period, about where evidence of it has been preserved, and about how progressive and coherent its history can be said to have been. The Renaissance and the Reformation are generally taken to have produced significant advances in individuality, subjectivity, and interiority, especially among the elite, but this study of middling-sort culture shows privacy to have been an object of suspicion, of competing priorities, and of compulsory betrayals. The institutional archives of civic governance, livery companies, parish churches, and ecclesiastical courts reveal the degree to which society organized itself around principles of preventing privacy, as a condition of order. Also represented in the discussion are such material artefacts as domestic buildings and household furnishings, which were routinely experienced as collective and monitory agents rather than spheres of exclusivity and self-expression. In 'everyday' life, it is argued, economic motivations were of more urgent concern than the political paradigms that have usually informed our understanding of the Renaissance. Locating Privacy pursues the case study of Alice Barnham (1523-1604), a previously unknown merchant-class woman, subject of one of the earliest family group paintings from England. Her story is touched by many of the changes-in social structure, religion, the built environment, the spread of literacy, and the history of privacy-that define the sixteenth century. The book is of interest to literary, social, cultural, and architectural historians, to historians of the Reformation and of London, and to historians of gender and women's studies.

Download or read book Renaissance Bodies written by Lucy Gent and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 1990 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renaissance Bodies is a unique collection of views on the ways in which the human image has been represented in the arts and literature of English Renaissance society. The subjects discussed range from high art to popular culture - from portraits of Elizabeth I to polemical prints mocking religious fanaticism - and include miniatures, manners, anatomy, drama and architectural patronage. The authors, art historians and literary critics, reflect diverse critical viewpoints, and the 78 illustrations present a fascinating exhibition of the often strange and haunting images of the period. With essays by John Peacock, Elizabeth Honig, Andrew and Catherine Belsey, Jonathan Sawday, Susan Wiseman, Ellen Chirelstein, Tamsyn Williams, Anna Bryson, Maurice Howard and Nigel Llewellyn. "The whole book ... presents a mirror of contemporary concerns with power, the merits and demerits of individualism, sex-roles, 'selves', the meaning of community and (even) conspicuous consumption."--The Observer
