MANCHESTER. EARLS AND DUKES OF MANCHESTER
The Manchester title, in the English peerage, belongs to a branch of the family of Montagu (q.v.).
The first earl was HENRY Morrnov (c. 1363-1642), grandson of Sir Edward Montagu, chief justice of the king's bench 1539-1545, who was named by King Henry VIII. one of the executors of his will, and governor to his son, Edward VI. Sir Henry Montagu, who was born at Boughton, Northamptonshire, about 1563, was educated at Christ's College, Cambridge, and, having been called to the bar,was elected recorder of London in 1603, and in 1616 was made chief justice of the king's bench, in which office it fell to him to pass sentence on Sir Walter Raleigh in October 1618. In 1620 he was appointed lord high treasurer, being raised to the peerage as Baron Montagu of Kimbolton, Huntingdonsbire, and Viscount Mandeville. He became president of the council in 1621, in which office he was continued by Charles 1., who created him earl of Manchester1 in 1626. In 1628 he became lord privy seal, and in 1635 a commiasioner of the treasury. Although from the beginning of his public life in 1601, when he first entered parliament, Manchester had inclined to the popular side in politics, he managed to retain to the end the favour of the king. He was a judge of the Star Chamber, and one of the most trusted councillors of Charles I. His loyalty, ability and honesty were warmly praised by Clarendon. In conjunction with Coventry, the lord keeper, he pronounced an opinion in favour of the legality of ship-money in 1634. He died on the 7th of November 1642. Manchester was
married three times. One of his sons by his third wife wasfathcr of Charles Montagu, created earl of Halifax in 1699
Euwluw MoNncU, and ear] of Manchester (16o2-1671),eldest son of the rst earl by his first wife, Catherine Spencer, granddaughter of Sir John Spencer of Althorpe, was born in 160:, and was educated at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge. He was member of parliament for Huntingdonshire 1623-1626, and in the latter year was raised to the peerage in his father's lifetime as Baron Montagu of Kimbolton, but was known generally by his courtesy title of Viscount Mandeville. ‘His first wife, who was related to the duke of Buckingham, having died in 1625 after two years of marriage, Mandeville married in 1626 Anne, daughter of the and earl of Warwick. The influence of his father-in-lnw, who was afterwards admiral on the side‘ of the parliament, drew Mandeville to the popular side in the questions in dispute with the crown, and at the beginning of the Long Parliament he was one of the recognized leaders of the popular party in the upper House, his name being joined with those of the five members of the House of Commons impeached by the king in 1642. At the outbreak of the Civil War, having succeeded his father in the earldom in November 1642, Manchester commanded a regiment in the army of the earl of Essex, and in August 1643 he was appointed major-general of the parliamentary forces in the eastern counties, with Cromwell as his second in command. Having become a member of the “ committee of both kingdoms " in 1644, he was in supreme command at Marston Moor (july 1, 1644); but in the subsequent operations his lack of energy brought him into disagreement with Cromwell, and in November 1644 he strongly expressed his disapproval of continuing the war (see Cnotrwztt, 01.1v12n). Cromwell brought the shortcomin'gs of Manchester before parliament in the autumn of 1644; and early‘ in the following year, anticipating the self-denying ordinance, Manchester resigned his command. He took a leading part in the frequent negotiations for an arrangement with Charles, was custodian with Lcnthall of the great seal 1646-1648, and frequently presided in the House of Lords. He opposed the trial of the king, and retired from public life during the Commonwealth; but after the Restoration, which he actively assisted, he was loaded with honoursby CharlesII. In 1667 he was madea general, and hedicd on the 5th of May 1671. Manchester was madea KG. in 1661, and became F.R.S. in 1667. Men of such divergent sympathies as Baxter, Bumet and Clarendon agreed in describing Manchester as a lovable and virtuous man, who loved peace and moderation both in politics and religion. He was five times married, leaving children by two of his wives, and was succeeded in the title by his eldest son, Robert, 3rd earl of Manchester (1634-1683).

Warmly sympathizing with the Whig revolution of 1688, he attended William and Mary at their coronation, fought under
William at the Boyne, became a privy councillor in 1698, and‘
held various important diplomatic posts between that date and 1714, when he received an appointment in the household of George 1., by whom on the 28th of April 1719 he was created duke of Manchester. He died on the 20th of January 1722, and was succeeded successively in the dukedom by his two sons, William 2nd duke of Manchester (1700-1731)), and Robert 3rd duke (c. 1710-1762),who was vice-Chamberlain to Queen Caroline, wife of George II.
GEORGE MONTAGU, 4th duke of Manchester (1737-1788), was the son of Robert, the 3rd duke. He was a supporter of Lord Rockingham, and an active opponent in the House of Lords of Lord North's American policy. In the Rockingham ministry
of 1782 Manchester became lord chamberlain, He died on
September 1788.

Huntingdon gives its name to a celebrated cheese that variety is now made exclusively in the counties of Lincoln and Leicester; and dairy farming is not now much followed. The milk is now chiefly used for rearing calves. Large numbers of cattle are fattened in the field or the fold-yard, and are sold when rising three years old. They are mostly of the shorthorn breed, large numbers of Irish shorthorns being wintered in the fens. Where there are no upland pastures the farmer usually purchases cattle in the autumn and sells them in the spring. The number of horses in 1879 was 11,057, or an average of 4.2 to every 100 acres under cultivation, as compared with 4.5 for England and 4.1 for the United Kingdom. Of these the number used solely for agricultural purposes was 7583. Most of the farmers breed cart-horses, and the large farmers often rear weight-carrying hunters. The number of sheep in 1879 was 157,790, or an average of 75.3 to every 100 acres under cultivation, as compared with the same average for England and 68.0 for the United Kingdom. Great improvement in the breed has lately taken place, Leicesters and Lincolns being most common; they usually attain eat weights at an early age. Lambs are occasions 1y sold at weaning time, but more frequently they are kept through the winter on the grass lands, being fed also on mangolds and other roots, with an addition of cake and corn. The number of pigs in 1879 was 19 990, or an average of 9.5 toevery 100 acres under cultivation, as compared with 7.2 for England and 6.7 for the United Kingdom. They include Berkshire, Suffolk, and Neapolitan breeds and a number of crosses. Many after having gleane the stubbles are fattened on whey and various preparations of inferior barley; but breeding is also extensively practiced.
According to the owners of lands returned for 1873 the land was divided among 3903 roprietors, holding land the gross annual value of wliich was £444,890. Of the owners 45% per cent. possessed lam than 1 acre, and the average value all over was £1, 19s. 42d. per acre.

Draft 2nd Codicil to Will of Emma Adeliza Bedford, Widow, of York Villa, Grange Road Ramsgate, Kent, dated 19th September1890.
Changes include death of sister, Rose Wylie, wife of John Eaton McLeod Wylie. Daughters of the sister, Edith C. Wylie, Charlotte L. Wylie, Alice Wylie and Jessie Wylie now included. Also Margaret Grierson, wife of Gilbert Grierson.

I have been in Gloucester visiting my brother and clearing the family home which is an immense undertaking. Yesterday morning Peter and I went into the City for coffee, into the bank as part of my executor duties and then into the Cathedral so I could take some photos. Everyone, it seems, has their favourite cathedral and mine is most definitely Gloucester.
It was built as a Benedictine monastery, work commenced in 1089. It survived Henry VIII's abolition of monasteries as Edward II had been buried there . . . so it became a cathedral.
Not only do writers write more letters than most people, what they write tends to survive. Admiring readers, proud progeny, responsible literary executors, and even old enemies and jilted lovers all save writers' letters. Although the more passionate letters are sometimes suppressed out of a sense of decorum, even these letters sometimes manage to find their way into print. As a young man still in his teens, Ernest Hemingway loved and was jilted by Agnes von Kurowsky. A number of his biographers have argued that his bitter reaction to the end of what for Agnes was mostly a wartime fling scarred his relationships with women until the end of his life and directly colored the presentation of women and love in his fiction. The lovestruck letters between Hemingway and Kurowsky were first published in 1989, yet they recreate that ill-fated romance as if it happened yesterday: "I dreamed an awfully nice dream last night," Ag wrote to Hem on October 30, 1918. "I dreamed ... I spied you thru a lighted window shaving & fixing yourself all up in your best uniform. I was sitting on a bench outside waiting for you."
In another letter to Hemingway, Agnes openly discusses her nervousness about letters. "Writing has always made me draw into a shell - it seemed so irrevocable. Once written you can't take back what you have said." She was right, as the fate of her letters, seventy years later, suggests.

Wetherburn's Tavern
Merriment was a specialty of the house
Wetherburn's Tavern
Stood opposite the Raleigh Tavern
Tavern had many owners through the years
Detailed inventory provided information for restoration
One of Williamsburg's most thoroughly and carefully restored buildings
Balls often held at Wetherburn's
"For the LADIES and GENTLEMEN, There will be a BALL, AT Henry Wetherburn's on Tuesday Evening next, the 10th instant, and on every Tuesday during the sitting of the General Assembly."
As the notice in the March 5, 1752 issue of the Virginia Gazette suggests, merriment and conviviality were specialties of the house at Wetherburn's Tavern in Williamsburg. Opposite the Raleigh Tavern on Duke of Gloucester Street, the establishment had become so popular that its proprietor had built an addition – a great room – to better accommodate his customers.
Henry Wetherburn married widow of keeper of Raleigh Tavern
Little is known of Henry Wetherburn's background. He makes his first appearance in the local records in 1731. In the spring of that year he applied for a license to marry Mary Bowcock, widow of the keeper of the Raleigh Tavern. When Henry married Mary, they served as executors of the Bowcock estate. In August 1731, Henry applied for a license to operate a tavern, in this case the Raleigh Tavern. He began to develop his reputation for keeping a good tavern. His reputation was such that by 1736, William Randolph and Peter Jefferson (father of Thomas Jefferson) sealed a land deal with Wetherburn's "biggest bowl of arrack punch."
Wetherburn purchased two lots across the street from the Raleigh Tavern
In 1738, Wetherbum purchased two lots across the street from the Raleigh Tavern. He began to build a house on the lots, a typical center-passage house with two rooms on either side. In 1742, a group of men purchased the Raleigh Tavern, where Wetherburn had been working as the tavern keeper. Wetherburn decided to move across the street and open his own tavern in his house.
First wife died; Wetherburn married widow of tavern keeper James Shields
In 1751, Mary Bowcock Wetherburn died. Shortly after her death, Henry married Anne Marot Ingles Shields, widow of tavern keeper James Shields and daughter of tavern keeper John Marot. With his marriage to Anne, Henry became the executor of the Shields estate.
With the marriage, Anne and several of her children, daughters Anne and Christiana and son James Shields (who would inherit the Shields property) moved in with Henry at his tavern. Within a couple of years of the marriage, Anne's oldest daughter (who was not living at the tavern) had a son she named Henry (nicknamed "Harry"). For reasons unknown, Harry came to live with the Wetherburns.
The Wetherburn family shows several aspects of 18th century family life. It was common to see men and women have several husbands or wives in their lifetime. The wife would take herself and her children to live with her new husband thus creating a "blended" family. Husbands were responsible for managing the family's financial matters. When a woman married or remarried all she had inherited usually became the property of her husband. So Henry managing the Shields estate for his new wife until the son came of age was a common type of arrangement. Wetherburn's will shows that he had developed an affection for his step-grandson Harry. In his will, Henry left Harry a silver watch, a slave named Dick, and £100 for his education.
"Great Room" added to tavern around 1750
Shortly after his marriage to Anne, Wetherburn added a new room to his tavern. The "Great Room" addition was part of a trend in the mid-1750s to add large entertaining spaces to houses and was also part of a building boom that occurred in Williamsburg in the mid-1750s. The first evidence of the Great Room being completed was the dinner held for newly arrived Lt. Governor Robert Dinwiddie in November 1751. This dinner was sponsored by the mayor and aldermen of the city and was a very elegant dinner. The room was also used for subscription dances during public times and for meetings, business and political. The Ohio Land Company, a group of men, including George Mason and George Washington, who were speculating in lands in the western part of Virginia, held many of their meetings at Wetherburn's. In the 1770s, when Robert Anderson was the tavern keeper, the local committee of safety met at the tavern on several occasions.
Tavern inventory at Wetherburn's death provided information for restoration
On November 19, 1760, Henry Wetherburn died. An extensive and detailed inventory of his personal property was taken in December 1760. This detailed, room-by-room inventory has been used by the curators to refurnish the tavern today. The inventory gave valuable information about the quality of service Wetherburn offered his customers and the use of the rooms in the tavern. The inventory included mahogany furniture, pier glasses, prints, and enough china, glassware and silver to set a very elegant table. The inventory also listed the twelve slaves Wetherburn had at the tavern as well as items he had at his farm outside of town. A separate inventory was taken of his larger farm also located outside of town.
Court petition gave control of tavern to Anne Wetherburn following death of husband
According to Wetherburn's will, his estate was to be equally divided between Anne and Wetherburn's nephew, Edward Nicholson. They would each get their share of the estate after the debts and expenses of the estate were paid. Since Anne was now a widow for the third time, she was aware that both her interests and those of her children would be served by petitioning the court for her widow's third of the estate, which she would receive before any expenses were paid. The court appointed several prominent men, including George Wythe, Thomas Everard, Robert Carter Nicholas and William Hunter, to assign Anne her third. The court gave Anne the tavern property and enough slaves to operate the business as her third of the estate. At her death, which probably occurred sometime in the late 1760s, her share of the estate would go to Wetherburn's nephew.
Property rented to tavern keepers
In the 1760s, 1770s and 1780s the property was rented out to several tavern keepers. Since taverns were usually referred to by the name of the tavern keeper, the tavern was called Southall's when James Southall operated the tavern in the late 1760s. In 1764 and 1769, George Washington noted in his ledger that he "dined at Southall's." In 1771, Southall became keeper and eventually owner of the Raleigh Tavern. When Southall left, Robert Anderson rented the property from the Nicholson estate and continued to operate a tavern until 1779, when Ambrose Davenport took over the site.
In the 1780s, the capitol moved to Richmond, and Williamsburg's tavern business declined. Mrs. Ann Pasteur Craig, sister of Dr. William Pasteur, rented the property in the early 1780s. By 1785, William Rowsay had purchased the property. At this time, the property began to be used as a store instead of a tavern.
Property became home, boardinghouse, store, and school during 19th century
Through the 19th century the property went through a series of owners. It was used variously as a store, a home, and a boarding house. At the time of the Civil War, it was being used as a girl's school operated by the Rev. Mr. Young and his wife. By 1918, Mrs. Virginia Bruce Haughwout owned the property.
Heirs gave Colonial Williamsburg long-term lease to property with agreement to restore
In 1964, Virginia Haughwout's heirs gave Colonial Williamsburg a long term lease to the property. Part of the lease agreement was that Colonial Williamsburg would restore the house to its 18th century appearance.
From 1966 to 1968, Colonial Williamsburg worked on restoring the building. The work included extensive archaeological research which uncovered nearly 200,000 artifacts connected with the property. One of the more interesting finds was the discovery of about fifty wine bottles filled with cherries that had been buried at various location on the site. This could have been done to preserve the cherries for use later in the year or to make brandied cherries. Archaeologists also uncovered the foundations of the outhouses such as the kitchen, dairy and smokehouse that were part of the property in the 18th century. Architects worked on restoring the building to its 18th century appearance. The building had undergone major changes in the 19th century, including the addition of a front and rear porch and the rearranging of the rooms inside the tavern. All the later changes had to be removed to put the building back to its 18th century arrangement.
Today Wetherburn's Tavern is one of Colonial Williamsburg's most thoroughly and carefully restored buildings.

These buildings have a complex and fascinating history. When John Jacob Astor I died in 1848, his will specified that his executors were to provide for his "insane" son, John Jacob Astor, Jr. A residence was constructed for him (c. 1848-52) on the western portion of this site (then No. 237 West 14" Street), where he lived until his death in 1869. Leased from 1869 to 1875 by the Samaritan Home for the Aged, it was described by Rev. J.F. Richmond in 1871 as "a large double house, fifty feet front, constructed of brick, with three stories and basement." In 1875, James Stewart and his son-in-law, Philip Herrman, both builders, acquired this residence and the two lots to the east. The Scottish-born Stewart was the head of the firm of James Stewart & Son, 82 Horatio Street, and was the superintendent of construction of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church (1 873-75, Carl Pfeiffer), 705 Fifth Avenue. Herrman [see Architects Appendix] owned and built his carpenter shop next door at 405 West 14th Street [see] in 1878. Stewart and Herrman started altering the Astor residence in 1875-76 (Alts. 1179-, 1181-1875), but Buildings Department records indicate that the project was abandoned.
Stewart died in 1876 and his portion of this property was sold to Patrick Skelly and Patrick A. Fogarty. Patrick Skelly was a brewer and distiller who later (1886) acquired 21-25 Ninth Avenue and operated a wine and liquor business there; it was continued by his son, Hugh P. Skelly, until the 1910s. Patrick A. Fogarty was also a brewer and distiller, at five locations according to an 1880 directory. They were joined by business partner Hugh O'Reilly. The existing Astor structure was altered and expanded into an ale brewery and a flats building in 1876 (Alt. 820-1876), with a unified four-story facade by eminent commercial architect John B. Snook. The brewery building appears on an 1879 map as O'Reilly, Skelly & Fogarty's Centennial Brewery.
By 1899, O'Reilly, Skelly & Fogarty were in financial difficulty and their properties were sold at public auction in 1901. The brewery building reverted to James Stewart Hermann, Philip's son who also owned the flats portion after his father's death. In 1900-01 (Alts. 575-1900,35-1901), interior alterations were made "for stores, light storage and manufacturing," and anew storefront was installed. A party wall was removed, replaced by steel framing, in 1917 (Alt. 524-1917). A rear extension was constructed, and a metal canopy added to the front, in 1926 (Alt. 1417-1926). Until the 1970s, tenants have been primarily meat, poultry, and dairy merchants, with longer durations by Darling Bros. Co., Korner & Schwabeland Co.1 H. Schwabeland & Sons, and Nathan Schweitzer Co., a subsidiary of Amour & Co.
This wide Italianate style brewery and similar French flats building contribute to the historically-mixed architecture and varied uses - including industrial and market-related functions- of the Gansevoort Market Historic District. Constructed in 1876, during the second phase of development of the district, these buildings further contribute to the visual cohesion of West 14" Street through their Italianate details by an eminent commercial architect, metal cornice, cast-iron storefronts, and, in particular, as one of the district's earliest intact industrial structures.
----About the district----
The Gansevoort Market Historic District - consisting of 104 buildings - is distinctive for its architectural character which reflects the area's long history of continuous, varied use as a place of dwelling, industry, and commerce, particularly as a marketplace, and its urban layout. The buildings, most dating from the 1840s through the 1940s, represent four major phases of development, and include both purpose-built structures, designed in then-fashionable styles, and those later adapted for market use.
The architecture of the district tells the story of an important era in New York City's history when it became the financial center of the country and when its markets were expanding to serve the metropolitan region and beyond. Visual cohesion is provided to the streetscapes by the predominance of brick as a facade material; the one- to six-story scale; the presence of buildings designed by the same architects, a number of them prominent, including specialists in market-related structures; the existence of metal canopies originally installed for market purposes; and the Belgian block paving still visible on most streets.
The street layout is shaped by the transition between the irregular pattern of northwestern Greenwich Village (as far north as Gansevoort Street) and the grid of the 1811 Commissioner's Plan. Unusually large and open intersections contribute to the area's unique quality, particularly where Ninth Avenue meets West 14'~S treet and Gansevoort Street (which was widened in l887), and provide sweeping vistas that showcase the unusual building typology and mixed-use quality of the district. Aside from Tribeca, the Gansevoort Market Historic District is the only remaining marketplace district that served the once-flourishing Hudson River commercial waterfront.
The earliest buildings in the historic district date from the period between 1840 and 1854, most built as rowhouses and town houses, several of which soon became very early working-class tenements (all eventually had stores on the ground floor). The area's early mixed use, however, is evident in the rare surviving early factory building (c. 1849-60), on a flatiron-shaped lot, for Col. Silas C. Herring, a nationally significant manufacturer of safes and locks, at 669-685 Hudson Street.
This mixed use, consisting of single-family houses, multiple dwellings, and industry was unusual for the period. The stretch of Ninth Avenue between Gansevoort and West 15' Streets, albeit altered and interrupted with later additions, offers the vista of a distinctive Manhattan streetscape featuring twenty buildings of the 1840s: the rowhouses at Nos. 3-7 (c. 1849) and Nos. 21-27 (c. 1844-46), the Herring factory, and culminating in the rare, picturesque ensemble of twelve rowhouses and town houses, Nos. 44-60 Ninth Avenue and 351-355 West 14th Street (c. 1841-46), at the wide, angled intersection with Hudson and West 14" Streets. Another business from this period was the woodworking factory of the prominent building firm of James C. Hoe & Co. (c. 1850-54) at 52-58 Gansevoort Street (later altered).
After the Civil War, the area began to flourish commercially as New York City solidified its position as the financial center of the country, and construction resumed in the district in 1870. Two major businesses located here were A.H. Wellington's Merchants' Print Works (1 874, S. W. Johnson), cotton printers at 416-418 West 14" Street (later altered); and the Italianate style Centennial Brewery (1876, John B. Snook) at 409-41 1 West 14' Street.
The bulk of the buildings in the district date from the 1880s through the 1920s and were designed in then-popular historical revival styles. Residential and commercial development, including a variety of building types, was particularly spurred in the 1880s by two major factors. The first was the creation of two nearby municipal markets: the open-air Farmers' or Gansevoort Market (1 879), for regional produce, at Gansevoort and Washington Streets (adjacent to the historic district), and the West Washington Market (1889), for meat, poultry, and dairy products, on the river side of West Street. From the 1880s until World War II, wholesale produce, fruit, groceries, dairy products, eggs, specialty foods, and liquor (until Prohibition) were among the dominant businesses within the district in response to the adjacent markets, particularly along Gansevoort, Little West 12', and Washington Streets. The first of the two-story, purpose-built market buildings in the district were erected in 1880.
These vernacular and neo-Grec style structures typified the low-rise market buildings constructed in the district over the next 90 years: produce (or, later, meat) handling on the ground story, shielded by a metal canopy over the sidewalk, and offices on the second story.
Commercial construction during this period, which represents the highest percentage of the district's varied yet distinctive building stock, included not only low-rise purpose-built market buildings, but also, in a variety of period styles, stables buildings, and five- and six-story store-and-loft buildings and warehouses were constructed to house and serve these businesses. The warehouses, in particular, are among the most monumental structures in the district.
The second factor spurring development within the historic district was the 1878 partition of real estate owned by the Astor family, which had remained underdeveloped since John Jacob Astor 1's acquisition in 1819. Of the 104 buildings in the district, over one-third of them were constructed by the Astors and related family members. Astor improvements included the market buildings at 823-833 Washington Street and 32-36 Little West 12" Street (1880, Joseph M. Dunn, James Stroud); the distinguished Queen Anne style French flats building (with stores) at 440 West 14" Street (1887, James W. Cole), the block-long Queen Anne style produce market building at 859- 877 Washington Street (1887, Cole), and the handsome Romanesque Revival style stables building (1893, Thomas R. Jackson) for the New York Biscuit Co. (later Nabisco), the world's largest supplier of crackers, at 439-445 West 14" Street.
A number of other prominent owners also invested in real estate here and began to develop their properties: the Goelet family constructed the unusual flatiron-shaped store-and-loft building at 53-61 Gansevoort Street (1887, Dunn), which housed E.S.
Burnham & Co., clam canners; James AlfredRoosevelt owned the warehouse at 400 West 14thS treet (1886, Dunn); and former New York Mayor Hugh J. Grant developed the neo-Romanesque style warehouses (1 899-1900, George P. Chappell) at 97-103 Horatio Street. The Astors and other owners gave several commissions to architects Joseph M. Dunn, who designed seven buildings in the district, and James W. Cole, who designed three buildings in the district. These multiple commissions in the then-fashionable neo-Grec or Queen Anne styles contribute to the district's visual cohesion.
Between 1897 and 1935, nearly the entire block bounded by Gansevoort, Horatio, Washington, and West Streets was developed with a handsome neo-Classical style ensemble in tan brick, by noted architects Lansing C. Holden, J. Graham Glover, and John B. Snook Sons, that included a power plant and nine cold storage warehouses for the Manhattan Refrigerating Co. (incorporated 1894).
The company was responsible for installing the system of underground pipes that carried refrigeration to market-related structures throughout the district by about 1906. This infrastructure, along with the completion by the N.Y.C. Dept. of Docks of the nearby Gansevoort Piers (1894-1902) and Chelsea Piers (1902-10, with Warren & Wetmore), docks for the great trans- Atlantic steamships (and the busiest section of New York's port), had profound impacts on the district. The distribution of wholesale meat, poultry, and seafood, particularly for hotels, restaurants, and steamships, emerged as an important business throughout the district, resulting in new construction as well as bringing new uses to existing buildings. Some companies were subsidiaries of major national meatpackers, while other independent firms were among the nation's largest.
The underground refrigeration system, the new piers, and the emergence of new uses relating to the burgeoning hotel and steamship industry further triggered the 20th-century construction and architectural change and flexibility that has shaped the character of the Gansevoort Market Historic District. Typically, commercial redevelopments of neighborhoods in New York City involved the demolition of earlier buildings for structures housing new uses. However, one of the district's unique qualities is that earlier buildings were retained and altered to market uses. Earlier examples include the Centennial Brewery (409-41 1 West 14" Street), converted to meat, produce, and dairy use in 1901, and 21-27 Ninth Avenue, rowhouses adapted in 1923-24 as meat market buildings.
Over the years, the Astors continued their policy of high-quality architectural commissions by hiring distinguished architects known for their significant public, commercial, and residential buildings, such as the neo-Classical style offices and printing plant (1901-02, Trowbridge & Livingston) of P.F. Collier & Son, publisher of books and the nationally-known magazine Collier's, at 416-424 West 13' Street; the neo-Romanesque style liquor warehouse at 29-35 Ninth Avenue (1902-03, Boring & Tilton); and the Arts and Crafts style warehouse building (1913, LaFarge, Morris & Cullen) at 5 Little West 1 2 '~S treet.
The completion of the Holland Tunnel (1927), the elevated Miller Highway (1931), and the New York Central Railroad's elevated freight railway (1934) providedeasier access between the area and the metropolitan region and spurred another major phase of new low-rise construction and the functional conversion of existing buildings for market use in the district. New structures included the earlyInternationa1 style General Electric Co. annex (1929-30, Lockwood Greene Engineers, Inc.) at 414 West 14' Street, and the Moderne style John Morrell & Co. meat market building (1936-37, H. Peter Henschien) at 446-448 West 14'~S treet.
The unusually wide Gansevoort Street assumed its distinctive character of low-rise market buildings with metal canopies at this time, through such new construction as the fruitlproduce market building (1938-39, Charles H. Stadler) at No. 46-50, and the Moderne style R&L Restaurant (1949), at No.69, and newly adapted structures, including No. 52-58 (formerly James C. Hoe & Co.), altered as a market building in 1937, and No. 60-68 (1880-81 tenements), reduced to a two-story market building in 1940.
By World War II, poultry- and meat- packing had consolidated as the main commercial activity within the district. Maritime commerce along the Hudson River waterfront declined by the 1960s, however, with the end of the ocean liner era and the rise of containerized shipping. Changes in the meat and poultry industries meant a lessening presence in this area. The Manhattan Refrigerating Co. closed in 1979 and its buildings were subsequently converted to apartments.
The completion of several more transportation and development projects (most located outside the historic district) in the 1930s spurred another major phase of new low-rise construction and functional conversion for market use of existing buildings within the historic district. Easier access was provided between the market area and the metropolitan region. The construction of the elevated Miller Highway (1929-3 1) necessitated the displacement of some produce and meat and poultry merchants in both the Gansevoort and West Washington Markets, including the demolition of several buildings at the latter. The Port of New York Authority built the Union Inland Terminal No. 1 (1931-32, Abbott, Merkt & Co.), a unified truck-rail terminal (modeled functionally after the Starrett-Lehigh Building), just northeast of the district and occupying the entire block at Ninth Avenue and West 15" Street.
The New York Central Railroad's elevated freight railway (193 1-34) passed through some thirty buildings on its route southward to the new St. John's Park Freight Terminal at West and Clarkson Streets. This railway also used part of the Gansevoort Market site, and additionally, the City constructed a meat processing plant on the market site (1939). The Lincoln Tunnel (1937) provided a second automotive route to New Jersey. The Ninth Avenue el, which ran through the district, was demolished (c. 1940); streetcar tracks located below the el had been taken up in 1936.
The first new purpose-built low-scale (one-story) market building in the historic district was 14-20 Little West 12" Street (1928, John B. Snook Sons), for the Wendel family and used initially by produce merchants. The P.F. Collier & Son building at 416-424 West 13" Street became a warehouse of the General Electric Co. in 1929; an early International style annex (1929-30, Lockwood Greene Engineers, Inc.) was constructed next door at 414 West 14" Street. Owned by Vincent Astor, this was the last of the Astor improvements within the district. 13 and 15 Little West 12' Street (1933, Martin Smith) were one-story fruit market buildings. Designed in the Moderne style were the John Morrell & Co. meat market building (1936-37, H. Peter Henschien) at 446-448 West 14th Street; the meat market building at 837-843 Washington Street (1938, David M. Oltarsh); and the fruitlproduce market building at 46-50 Gansevoort Street (1938-39, Charles H. Stadler).
Built at a time when the growing prevalence of the automobile resulted in the predominance of new market types throughout the U.S. (such as drive-in markets, chain grocery stores, and supermarkets), these buildings are rare and late examples of the older market building typology.34 Many of the buildings in the district that were architecturally adapted for market functions were properties acquired through foreclosure at the height of the Depression. Most of these buildings were functionally maximized at two stories (vacant, formerly residential, upper stories were no longer necessary): the lower story was refrigerated for produce or meat use and the upper story held offices. The unusually wide Gansevoort Street assumed its distinctive character of low-rise market buildings with metal canopies at this time, largely through such newly-adapted structures, including the vernacular style No. 52-58 (formerly James C. Hoe & Co.), altered as a fruit and produce market building in 1937 (S. Walter Katz); the neo-Grec style No. 60-68 (five 1880-81 tenements), reduced to a two-story market building in 1940 (Voorhees, Walker, Foley & Smith); and No. 7 1-73 (aka 8 17- 821 Washington Street) (three 1886-87 Queen Anne style French flats buildings), reduced to three stories in 1940 for use as a meat market building. The neo-Grec and utilitarian style 823-833 Washington Street and neo-Grec style 32-36 Little West 12" Street, 1880 two-story market buildings, were also altered in 1940-41 for meat merchants.
By World War II, poultry- and meat- packing had consolidated as the main commercial activity throughout the district. The opening of the Queens Live Poultry Terminal Market (1941) caused poultry dealers to move from the West Washington Market, replaced in part by produce merchants. The creation in 1950 of the Gansevoort Market Meat Center on the site of Gansevoort Market and the demolition of the remaining West Washington Market buildings, with the associated displacement of the businesses at both locations, hastened changes within the district. In 1959, the Gansevoort Market area was referred to in the New York Times as "the largest meat and poultry receiving market in the world. In the district, 408-412 West 13" Street (1941, Charles N. & Selig Whinston) was a new two-story market building used by hides/skins and meat businesses, while 36- 40 Gansevoort Street (aka 831-835 Greenwich Street) (1947-48, Horace Ginsbern & Assocs.), for poultry businesses, was the last new purpose-built market building in the district. The Moderne style R & L Restaurant (1949), 69 Gansevoort Street, resulted from the alteration of a three-story house.
Alterations associated with conversions to meat market uses included 809-813 Washington Street (aka 70-74 Gansevoort Street) (1940-42, Voorhees, Walker, Foley & Smith), a freight trucking depot altered in 1950; 402-404 and 406 West 13th Street (1840s rowhouses) altered in1950 and 1955 (Abraham L. Seiden); and 15 and 13 Little West 12" Street (c. 1961 and 1969 additions, bylattributed to Seiden).
Today, the Gansevoort Market Historic District is a vibrant neighborhood of remaining meatpackers, high-end retail commerce, restaurants, offices, clubs, galleries, and apartments, that retains, despite recent changes, a strong and integral sense of place as a market district, due to its distinctive streetscapes, metal canopies, notable buildings, both purpose-built and those adapted over the years for market use, and unusual street pattern with its Belgian block paving.

Mary Anne Pearce Died June 27 1887 Aged 85
A faithful servant and dear friend
Fear not, for I have redeemed thee

Intriguing
The Squire, Thomas Gambier Parry was the executor of her will.
She had been living at the Sacristan Lodge, as an Annuitant, at least during the 7 years leading up to her death. (The lodge appears to have been used sometimes to provide a home for retired estate workers.)
Her name does not appear on any census as a servant at Highnam Court, not in all the time that Parry owned the Highnam estate.
And yet she is a 'faithful servant and friend'
She never married.
Using the 1881 census as my guide, she was born around 1803, in Southampton., and now lives in Highnam.
Thomas Gambier Parry was born in 1816 and has been Squire since 1839.
His second wife, Ethelinda (Lear) was born around 1827.
The connection seems most likely to have been with the Lear family.
There's a Mary Pearce in the 1841, living at Chilmark with (and probably a servant of) Francis and Isabella Lear.
She's not mentioned in the 1851 census, possibly because, Isabella is away from home visiting another family member.
In 1861, she is staying at the home of the Bishop of Salisbury, and listed as a visitor and a Ladies Maid. The wife of the Bishop is Isabella Elizabeth Hamilton, sister of Ethelinda, who is by now married to Thomas Gambier Parry, and her mother, Isabella, is also staying with her at that time.
In 1871, Mary A. Pearce, now aged 66, is working as Housekeeper for Isabella Hamilton
I have been unable to determine whether Mary Ann Pearce was the nanny for the children of Francis and Isabella Lear, but although the evidence is not conclusive, she does appear to have been close to the members of the Lear family for over 40 years.
The headstone looks weather beaten now, but that's not a plain design.

Church of St Margaret,
Monument to Bussy †1719 and Mary †1730 Greene. Marble, 1745, Signed Robt Page Fecit. Commissioned by his daughter and executor, Mary. Now east wall of north nave, moved from south wall of chancel, east end in 1881.
The impressive monument would once have filled the south wall of the chancel, at the very east end, before it was moved by the architect R.M. Phipson in 1881 to make way for a new window. It is dominated by the beautiful veined grey pyramid, decorated with the family coat of arms on a scrolled cartouche, with oak leaves and scallops. The pyramid rests on the base which houses the inscription, now difficult to make out because of the pews, and frames the darker commemorative chest. This rests on lions’ paws and the upper tiers rise to an acorn, symbol of strength and growth and is flanked by two mourning youthful angels. One sheds a tear while wiping his other eye, his foot resting on a skull, while his companion clutches his hands in palpable grief.
The inscription is the only source of information about Bussy and Mary Greene. It included four of their children whose deaths dated from 1709 down to 1737. Both the impressive scale of the monument, with its accomplished handling of a range of colour within a deliberately limited palette, and its original position in the chancel underline the inscription’s reference to Bussy Greene as a gentleman of Catton, who died when he was fifty two years old.

A respeito da erosão identificada na via marginal da avenida Cardeal Eugênio Pacelli, Cidade Industrial, nessa terça-feira (17/1), a Prefeitura de Contagem informa que:
Após os estudos realizados no local, ficou constatada uma fuga de material sem causa definida. Portanto, descarta-se a hipótese de rompimento das redes da Copasa ou do sistema de drenagem.
A equipe de manutenção da Prefeitura de Contagem continuará as sondagens no entorno da erosão a fim de identificar as causas do abatimento. Já o fechamento da erosão e recomposição do pavimento está sendo realizado pelo Departamento Nacional de Infraestrutura de Transportes - DNIT, responsável por este trecho da via.
A expectativa, segundo a empresa Ápia, executora da intervenção de fechamento da erosão, é que o trecho interditado tenha condições de ser liberado até esta quinta-feira (19/1).
Até lá, a Transcon mantém a região sinalizada e com desvio no trânsito, o que tem minimizado o impacto no tráfego local, que flui sem retenções significativas. Os motoristas que seguem pela av. Cardeal Eugênio Pacelli, sentido Betim, devem acessar a rua Antônio Gonçalves Neto, seguindo pela rua Dr. Antônio Chagas Diniz e convergir à esquerda, na rua Osório de Morais, para sair no corredor após o trecho interditado.

If an old family and ancient busts on the walls; if the badge of a Knighthood, the reward of peculiar virtue; if a numerous offspring and the absence of all complaint throughout 50 years of married life; if late decay and a rapid death; lastly, if a happy estate, and more happy than any estate, a liberal hand, untainted honour, reverence for heaven have made either a happy life or a blessed death, they have made both life and death blessed for us. Now when the fates have bid us to have done with life and the stars demand out spirits, the affection of our heir has gathered our ashes and bidden them rest under this mausoleum".
James was the son of Sir John of Exton 1589 & Elizabeth daughter of Robert Mutton of Peckleton and Phillippa daughter of Richard Willoughby
He was the grandson of John Harington 1524 and Alice Southill www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/Z0M1j4

Panorama school photograph taken in 1964 when I was in the Second Form. Another "where are they all now" moment. One is a Member of Parliament, another an author, a third was a member of the famous "Pontypool Front Row" (None are me!)
This picture is taken between the "New Building" by the quarry, a haunt of schoolboy smokers, and the gym/swimming pool..
Jones' West Monmouthshire Grammar School for Boys was opened in 1898 from a legacy left by the Haberdasher William Jones on land craftily donated by Squire Hanbury to win over the executors who were looking for a site for a new school. The school was run by the Haberdashers, the school badge being their crest, until 1954 when it was taken over by Monmouthshire County Council as a Grammar School under the 1944 Education Act. In 1958, boarding ceased at the school ending the distinction between "boarders" and "day boys". In 1980 the school became a comprehensive, shed the school badge and tie link to the Haberdashers, and, shock horror, became co-ed!
