Download or read book James Cawthorn George Austen and the Curious Case of the Schoolboy who was Killed written by Martin J Cawthorne (Foreword by Tim Haynes, Headmaster of Tonbridge School) and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2017-01-11 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the twenty-year tenure of James Cawthorn – one of the most significant headmasters in the history of Tonbridge School. In historical accounts of Tonbridge School, Cawthorn is usually depicted as a strict disciplinarian with an almost despotic approach as Headmaster. Boys under his charge are described in turn, as being either terrified of him, humiliated by him or, in the case of one poor soul, locked in a cupboard, forgotten and left to starve to death. He does however act as master and mentor to some of the school’s most prominent Old Boys; notably George Austen, father of the novelist Jane Austen, who after graduating from Oxford returns to Tonbridge in order to become Cawthorn’s Deputy. Cawthorn’s dedication to the school is also such that, during his tenure as Headmaster, the school gets its first purpose built library which appears in part to have been funded from the Head’s own pocket. The establishment of the library was a joint undertaking involving James Cawthorn, George Austen and the Worshipful Company of Skinners’ who govern the school. The development was not however without controversy and the unfortunate death of a schoolboy played a significant part in the saga. George Austen’s involvement also helped to shape the future course of his life and led to him leaving Tonbridge, the town of his birth, and moving instead to Steventon in Hampshire. This book investigates the available historical evidence in order to uncover the story of how the first library building at Tonbridge came to be built and to establish the truth behind the myths surrounding one of the School’s most controversial and enigmatic headmasters. In doing so, it also shines a light on the formative years of the life of George Austen, father of one of Britain’s most much-loved novelists. It will appeal to anyone associated with Tonbridge School; specialist and amateur Kentish historians; and fans of Jane Austen keen to know more about the formative years of the man who was arguably her most important tutor and mentor – her father, George Austen.

Download or read book The Brilliant Stage written by Angela McLeod and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2014-07-28 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much has been written on Sir Francis Walsingham, otherwise known as Elizabeth I's Secretary of State and Spymaster, but very little detailing the life of his only child, Frances. Although she was closely associated with some of the greatest and most powerful people of that era, her presence and her contribution to the course of history is largely unknown. This books chronicles the life of Frances Walsingham, covering the last half of the reign including the defeat of the Armada and the Dutch, Spanish and Irish campaigns. As a child, she survived the massacre of St. Bartholomew's Eve, in company with Sir Philip Sidney, in her father's embassy in Paris. At the age of 13, she contracted herself to marriage with an employee of Walsingham. When this was forbidden, she was betrothed to Sidney, whom she followed when he campaigned in the Netherlands. Frances was with Sidney when he died at Arnhem after suffering fatal wounds at the battle of Zutphen. The Queen's favourite, the Earl of Essex, became Frances's next suitor and they later married. As with Sidney, this was doomed; the Earl was beheaded 11 years later following a treasonable uprising. On her third marriage, to the Irish Earl of Clanricarde, Frances converted to Catholicism as a symbol of her commitment to her husband and his faith. Together they built and left to posterity two beautiful houses which still stand today. Frances was a survivor, but must have had, besides intelligence, rare charm or beauty in order to have married, in succession, three of the most charismatic Englishmen of the 16th Century. Seven of her twelve children survived. The Brilliant Stage will appeal to those with an interest in the Elizabethan period and fans of historical fiction. Angela McLeod's writing is comparable to the style of Daphne Du Maurier. The works of both Dame Edith Sitwell and Lytton Strachey have inspired her and motivated her to write this compelling account of Frances Walsingham.

Download or read book Megachurch Accountability in Missions written by Jinbong Kim and published by William Carey Publishing. This book was released on 1993-06-01 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Megachurches are of relatively recent vintage. Their numerical strength invests them with social and financial power. To whom, if anyone, however, are megachurches accountable? What role do they play as innovators in missions? How have their enormous influence and financial strength been harnessed? What lessons can be learned? What course corrections ought to be made? Over the course of a week, the third meeting of the Korean Global Mission Leadership Forum (KGMLF), held in Korea in 2015, addressed these and related questions. Combining the insights of a rich mix of Korean and international megachurch leaders and scholars, Megachurch Accountability in Missions: Korean and Global Case Studies offers analysis, critique, and positive recommendations for future megachurch engagement in mission.
