Modern scholarship appears to suggest that Sir
Orlando Bridgeman |
|
|
|
|
(the 2nd Baronet) faked his death in an attempt
to avoid his creditors. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the mid 1730s, Bridgeman had begun to build a
new house at Bowood |
|
|
|
Park, near Calne in Wiltshire. As a result, he
appears to have gone deeply |
|
|
|
into debt, to the extent that proceedings were
commenced against him in |
|
|
|
the Chancery Courts in 1737. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bridgeman had previously held office as Clerk of
the household of the |
|
|
|
Prince of Wales between 1716 and 1727 and had
been a Lord of Trade |
|
|
|
between 1727 and 1737. It is probably therefore
reasonable to assume |
|
|
|
that, via the influence of friends at Court, he
was appointed Governor of |
|
|
|
Barbados in 1737 in an effort to improve his
financial position and |
|
|
|
|
possibly also to remove him from the reach of
his creditors. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, he never proceeded to Barbados.
Instead, he disappeared. |
|
|
|
He left his clothes by the side of the Thames
and wrote farewell letters |
|
|
|
to his family and also to King George II. Some
weeks later, on 10 June |
|
|
|
1738, a body "supposed to be him, though
disfigured by lying so long |
|
|
|
under water", was found in the river at
Limehouse. John Stonehouse, the |
|
|
|
British MP who "disappeared" from a
Miami beach in 1974 appears to |
|
|
|
have taken a leaf from Bridgeman's book. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the diary of John Perceval, 1st Earl of
Egmont under 30 Oct 1738 |
|
|
|
(published by the Historical Manuscripts
Commission in 1923) |
|
|
|
|
there is the following entry |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Sir Orlando Bridgeman who, instead of
going to his government of |
|
|
|
|
Barbados conferred on his last winter, made his
escape (as he hoped) |
|
|
|
from the world, to avoid his creditors, by
pretending to make himself away, |
|
|
|
and accordingly gave it out that he had drowned
himself, was ferreted out |
|
|
|
of his hole by the reward advertised for whoever
should discover him, and |
|
|
|
seized in an inn at Slough, where he had ever
since concealed himself." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
According to the "Gentleman's
Magazine" (p. 668 for 1746) Bridgeman |
|
|
|
apparently died in Gloucester gaol and was
buried 5 Dec 1746 (as opposed |
|
|
|
to 1745 as mentioned in Cokayne) in St
Nicholas's, Gloucester. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If indeed Sir Orlando did survive until 1745 or
1746, then his son Francis did not |
|
|
|
succeed to the baronetcy and the baronetcy
became extinct in 1745 or 1746, |
|
|
|
not circa December 1740 as shown above. |

The ghost of Burton Agnes Hall, home of the
Boynton baronets |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Burton Agnes Hall, an Elizabethan manor house in
the East Riding of Yorkshire, was built by Sir |
|
|
|
Henry Griffith around 1610. From him it
descended to Frances Griffith, who married Sir Matthew |
|
|
|
Boynton, 1st baronet. On the death of the 11th
Boynton baronet in 1899, the house passed to |
|
|
|
his
daughter, who had married Thomas Wickham and who adopted the additional name
of |
|
|
|
Boynton, and thence to her son Marcus Wickham
Boynton. On his death in 1989, he willed the |
|
|
|
estate
to Simon Cunliffe-Lister, son of the Earl of Swinton. At present the house is
owned by |
|
|
|
the Burton Agnes Preservation Trust. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The house is famous for its ghost. The following
account is taken from the Hall's website:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The ghost of Katherine (Anne) Griffith, who
died at Burton Agnes Hall in 1620, is reputed to |
|
|
|
have haunted the Queen's State Bedroom. Anne
Griffith was the youngest of the three sisters |
|
|
|
whose portrait hangs in the Inner Hall,
daughters of Sir Henry Griffith who built the Hall. The |
|
|
|
story
is that Anne had watched the building of the new house and could talk and
think of |
|
|
|
nothing else; it was to be the most beautiful
house ever built. When it was almost finished |
|
|
|
Anne went one afternoon to visit the St.
Quintons at Harpham about a mile away, but near St. |
|
|
|
John's Well was attacked and robbed by ruffians.
She was brought home to Burton Agnes but |
|
|
|
was so badly hurt that she died a few days
afterwards. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sometimes delirious, sometimes sensible, she
told her sisters that she could never rest unless |
|
|
|
part of her could remain in 'our beautiful home
as long as it shall last.' She made them promise |
|
|
|
that when she was dead her head should be
severed and preserved in the Hall forever, and to |
|
|
|
pacify her, her sisters agreed. However when
Anne died, she was buried in the churchyard. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Then the ghost walked and scared the life out
of everybody. Remembering Anne's dying words, |
|
|
|
the sisters took counsel with the vicar and
eventually agreed that the grave should be opened. |
|
|
|
The skull was brought into the house and so long
as it was undisturbed, the Hall was peaceful |
|
|
|
and untroubled. Many attempts have been made to
get rid of it. Once it was thrown away, |
|
|
|
another time it was buried in the garden, but
always the ghost walked with tremendous noise |
|
|
|
and upheaval. The skull is still in the house,
built into one of the old walls, probably in the Great |
|
|
|
Hall. Nobody knows for sure just where it is but
now she can watch over 'her beautiful home.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This
version of the story of the ghost appeared in the Lismore "Northern
Star" of 10 November |
|
|
|
1913:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A strange ghost story is told concerning Burton
Agnes Hall, a grand old place near Bridlington, |
|
|
|
and
the ancestral seat of the Boyntons. Burton Agnes, on the death of the late
baronet, Sir |
|
|
|
Henry, in 1899, passed to his only daughter, now
Mrs. Wickham-Boynton. Years ago the estate |
|
|
|
was
inherited by three sisters who, being wealthy, decided to rebuild their own
home. Inigo |
|
|
|
Jones, it is said, was the architect, and Rubens
is reported to have assisted with the |
|
|
|
|
decorations. An absorbing interest was taken in
the building by the youngest sister, Anne |
|
|
|
Griffith, but one day she was brutally assaulted
by a tramp, and subsequently died. She made |
|
|
|
her sisters promise that her head should be
removed at her death and kept in the house. They |
|
|
|
forgot to do as she had wished, with the result
that the most appalling noises were heard in |
|
|
|
the house. In their perplexity the two sisters
consulted the vicar, telling him of their sister's |
|
|
|
dying request. He agreed that it ought to be
carried out, so the body was unearthed, and the |
|
|
|
head removed to the house. The noises at once
ceased. Various generations from time to time |
|
|
|
tried to get rid of the head, but always the
hideous noises recommenced, and continued until |
|
|
|
the gruesome relic was brought back. At last Sir
Henry Boynton had the head cemented in the |
|
|
|
wall
of the great hall, behind a beautifully carved screen, and the haunting and
manifestations |
|
|
|
have, it is said, entirely ceased.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are any number of variations of the story.
In one of these, one of the maids, who did not |
|
|
|
believe the story of the skull, is said to have
wrapped it up in a cloth, and then thrown it into |
|
|
|
the back of a passing wagon. The wagon
immediately stopped, and, no matter how hard they |
|
|
|
were urged, the horses were unable to move the
wagon an inch, and the wagon remained still |
|
|
|
until the skull was restored. |

|
|
|
The following report appeared in 'The Manchester
Guardian' on 28 December 1954:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A verdict of accidental death was recorded by
the Mid-Oxfordshire coroner, Mr. Harold Franklin, |
|
|
|
at an inquest on Friday on Sir John Ridley
Evelyn Bradford, aged 13, who was killed on Thursday |
|
|
|
when the tractor he was driving overturned at
his home, Marylands Farm, Chislehampton. The |
|
|
|
coroner said that he accepted the fact that the
boy was bounced off his seat or otherwise lost |
|
|
|
control of the machine. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Several
witnesses said that he was a highly competent tractor driver, and his mother,
Mrs. |
|
|
|
Alison
Davies, said he could manage the tractor better than her husband or their
man. When |
|
|
|
she returned from the village shop she saw the
tractor lying in a ditch with her son beneath it. |
|
|
|
She thought it must have bounced on ground which
was rather rough. He must have lost his |
|
|
|
balance and put his foot on the wrong brake. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Dr.
R.H. Cowdell, assistant pathologist at the Radcliffe Infirmary, Oxford, said
that the boy |
|
|
|
broke his neck and death must have happened
instantly. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Dr. J.O.F. Davies, the boy's stepfather and
senior administrative medical officer of the Oxford |
|
|
|
Regional
Hospital Board, said: "I saw him drive a tractor countless times. He was
better than |
|
|
|
any of us." |

Sir John Brickwood, 1st baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir
John was the son of Harry Brickwood, a Portsmouth brewer. He carried on his
father's |
|
|
|
business and retained the posts of Chairman and
Managing Director until his death in 1932. |
|
|
|
He was knighted in 1904 and created a baronet in
the 1927 Birthday Honours. He married |
|
|
|
|
three times - (1) on 10 January 1881 to Eliza,
daughter of William Miller, by whom he had |
|
|
|
|
a
daughter, of whom more later. His first wife died 27 February 1889; (2) on 30
September |
|
|
|
1893
to Jessie Eliza, daughter of John Cooper, by whom he had two sons, Arthur
Cyril, who |
|
|
|
died 15 April 1915, and Rupert Redvers, who
succeeded him as 2nd baronet. His second wife |
|
|
|
died 17 April 1917; and (3) on 8 January 1922,
to Isabella Janet Gibson, daughter of James |
|
|
|
Gordon. She survived him and died in 1967. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Although not mentioned in "Burke's
Peerage," I understand that, by his third wife, he had four |
|
|
|
sons,
of which the three eldest were born before their marriage, thus rendering
them |
|
|
|
|
illegitimate and unable to succeed to the
baronetcy. On the death of his half-brother, the |
|
|
|
2nd baronet, in 1974, the baronetcy passed to

Whenever
I attend a wedding, I always heave a quiet sigh of relief when the
minister's |
|
|
|
|
question as to whether anyone can show just
cause as to why the wedding should not take |
|
|
|
place
goes unanswered. I am therefore grateful that I did not attend the wedding
of |
|
|
|
|
Theodore Brinkman and his second wife on 27
April 1895, which was reported in 'The Times' of |
|
|
|
29 April 1895 as follows:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'On Saturday the marriage of Mr. Theodore
Brinckman, son of Sir Theodore Brinckman, with |
|
|
|
Miss Linton, the stepdaughter of Lord Aylesford,
at St. Mark's Church, North Audley Street, |
|
|
|
was made the occasion of a series of remarkable
interruptions. The marriage was announced |
|
|
|
some
months ago to take place on Saturday, and on this being made known to
certain |
|
|
|
|
members
of the English Church Union it was decided that an attempt should be made
to |
|
|
|
|
stop the ceremony. The ground of this action was
based upon the fact that in July, 1894, |
|
|
|
Mrs. Brinckman filed a petition for divorce
against her husband, which he did not defend, |
|
|
|
|
and the Divorce Court granted a decree nisi, which was not made
absolute until January of |
|
|
|
the present year. Shortly afterwards the
engagement of the respondent to Miss Linton was |
|
|
|
made public, and forthwith a number of
well-known Churchmen petitioned the Bishop of |
|
|
|
|
London to stop the wedding from being held in a
consecrated church. They based their |
|
|
|
|
objections on the undefended divorce suit,
maintaining that the marriage should be legalised |
|
|
|
before a registrar in order that a serious
offence should not be made against the law of the |
|
|
|
Church.
To that petition and subsequent appeals the Bishop of London declined to
reply, |
|
|
|
|
with the result that the objectors at a special
meeting decided to enter a public protest |
|
|
|
|
against the marriage being solemnized in a
consecrated church. On the doors of St. Mark's |
|
|
|
Church being opened on Saturday, a large number
of members of the English Church Union |
|
|
|
entered the building, taking seats in the
gallery, among them being the Duke of Newcastle, |
|
|
|
Father Black, and the Rev. H. Washington, of St.
Saviour's, Pimlico. When the bridal party |
|
|
|
had taken their places before the Rev. Ker Gray
at the chancel, Father Black rose and |
|
|
|
|
protested against the marriage of the parties.
This declaration caused the greatest excite- |
|
|
|
ment among those present in the church, several
cries of "Shame" and "Disgraceful" being |
|
|
|
raised. The Rev. Ker Gray, for the time ignoring
the interruption, recited that portion of the |
|
|
|
marriage service which says "If any man can
show just cause why they may not lawfully |
|
|
|
|
be joined together, let him now speak or else
hereafter forever hold his peace," Father |
|
|
|
|
Black then again rose, loudly exclaiming that
he, as a clerk in holy orders, protested |
|
|
|
|
against the solemnization of the marriage,
alluding to the fifth rubric of the service. By this |
|
|
|
time the commotion was intense, frequent
expressions of sympathy with the unfortunate |
|
|
|
|
bride being raised. The Rev. Ker Gray turned
angrily towards Father Black with the remark, |
|
|
|
"Sir, I am here by the Bishop's mandate,
and I refuse to hear another word from you." |
|
|
|
|
The
rev. gentleman then continued the marriage ceremony, but he had scarcely
spoken |
|
|
|
|
ten words before Father Black rose and continued
his protest. He was received with hisses |
|
|
|
and groans. During the reading of the document
the Rev. Ker Gray had continued with the |
|
|
|
service. After entering the above protest Father
Black and his party left the church amidst |
|
|
|
a remarkable demonstration of disapproval.
Outside there was a strong body of police, but |
|
|
|
the protesting party were loudly hissed by the
crowd that had left the church.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Another, doubtless sensationalised, account has
the bride fainting on the altar steps and |
|
|
|
|
police entering the church to forcibly remove
the protestors. The bride was then revived |
|
|
|
|
and the ceremony brought to an end as quickly as
possible. Unfortunately, the marriage |
|
|
|
|
ended in divorce in 1912. For further
information regarding Sir Theodore's first wife, see |
|
|
|

Sir Hylton Ralph Brisco, 5th baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir Hylton disappeared from a P & O liner
somewhere near Colombo, Ceylon [now Sri Lanka] |
|
|
|
in late January 1922. According to a report in
the 'Manchester Guardian' of 3 February 1922 |
|
|
|
"On the arrival of the P & O liner
Narkunda here [Colombo] it was found that one of the |
|
|
|
|
passengers,
Sir Hylton Ralph Brisco, was missing. He had seemed quite cheerful on
the |
|
|
|
|
journey to Bombay, but subsequently had remained
in his cabin and was believed to be |
|
|
|
|
suffering from insomnia. When the steward took a
cup of milk to his cabin a few hours before |
|
|
|
the vessel reached Colombo, he found Sir Hylton
Brisco was missing. A search on board failed |
|
|
|
to reveal his whereabouts and it is feared that
he has been drowned.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In May 1922, the executors of Sir Hylton's will
sought leave before the Probate, Divorce and |
|
|
|
Admiralty
Division of the High Court to presume Sir Hylton's death. The applicant
stated in |
|
|
|
evidence that Sir Hylton had had trouble with
his wife (they had divorced the previous year) |
|
|
|
and in January 1922 he had left London to travel
to Sydney. On 30 January, when the liner |
|
|
|
was off Colombo, he was found to be missing. A
search was made, but no trace of him could |
|
|
|
be found; his clothes were in his cabin and only
his pyjamas were missing. It was thought that |
|
|
|
he had gone on deck and accidentally
overbalanced and fallen into the sea. After hearing all of |
|
|
|
the evidence, the judge gave leave to presume
Sir Hylton's death on or after 29 January 1922. |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
According to 'The Times' of 4 July 1994
"Sir James Briscoe was killed in a crash in his 1903 |
|
|
|
Vauxhall yesterday. Sir James, 42, was taking
part in a week-long car rally based at Malvern |
|
|
|
in Hereford and Worcester when his car and a
recovery vehicle crashed head-on. The father |
|
|
|
of two, from Swainsthorpe, Norfolk, is thought
to have died instantly." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At the time of his death, his wife was pregnant.
She gave birth to a son four months after her |
|
|
|
husband's death, and this son became the 6th
baronet from the moment of his birth. |

Sir Benjamin Parnell Bromhead, 4th baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Although Sir Benjamin Bromhead lost both arms in
a single battle, he continued to command |
|
|
|
a Sikh regiment in India in the last years of
the 19th century. On his death, 'The Times' of |
|
|
|
2 August 1935 contained the following obituary:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Colonel
Sir Benjamin Parnell Bromhead, the oldest English baronet*, died on Wednesday
night |
|
|
|
at his home, Thurlby Hall, Lincolnshire, at the
age of 96. He was the head of a family with a |
|
|
|
centuries long tradition of Army service. His
inherited bravery made it almost impossible to |
|
|
|
restrain him in Service days from rushing into
the thick of fighting in the Indian Frontier wars. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* the Scottish baronet, Sir Fitzroy Maclean, was
17 months older |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
latter half of his long life was spent in a maimed condition which would have
led most men |
|
|
|
of
his ample means to give up every public interest and live in seclusion. In
the Sikkim |
|
|
|
|
Expedition of 1888 he was desperately wounded,
losing his right arm and the elbow joint of his |
|
|
|
left arm, and only escaping the loss of a leg as
by a "miracle." Outstripping his Sikh sepoys, he |
|
|
|
was
just in time to reach a pass before the enemy, who momentarily halted, until
they saw |
|
|
|
that he was alone, and then they cut him down.
His men came to the rescue only just in time. |
|
|
|
For this service he was made C.B. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Born
on October 22, 1838, he was the second of the fours soldier sons of Major Sir
Edmund |
|
|
|
Bromhead (1791-1870), who lost an eye at
Waterloo, and grandson of Lieutenant-General Sir |
|
|
|
Gonville Bromhead, who was at Quebec with Wolfe.
The baronetcy of the United Kingdom, of |
|
|
|
which Sir Benjamin was the fourth holder, dates
from 1806, and the family has been established |
|
|
|
in Lincolnshire since the beginning of the
twelfth century. A maternal ancestor of Sir Benjamin |
|
|
|
was
Edmund Gonville, founder in 1348 of Gonville Hall, Cambridge, which on
enlargement by |
|
|
|
Dr. John Caius in 1557 became Gonville and Caius
College. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir
Benjamin's elder brother, Captain Edward Bromhead, died in Bombay a year
before his |
|
|
|
|
father. The two younger brothers were both in
The South Wales Borderers. Colonel C[harles] |
|
|
|
J[ames] Bromhead, C.B., who commanded the
regiment, died in 1922. The youngest brother, |
|
|
|
Major Gonville Bromhead, who died when the
regiment was in India in 1891, will be remembered |
|
|
|
for the valour which won him the V.C. at Rorke's
Drift. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'When
Sir Benjamin was gazetted to the 30th Foot at Delhi in January, 1859, the
regiment, |
|
|
|
then consisting of 10 companies, was scattered
in different parts of Delhi and its neighbour- |
|
|
|
hood for the purposes of pacification after the
Mutiny. After a few years he was transferred to |
|
|
|
the
Indian Staff Corps, and had long service first with the 40th Bengal Native
Infantry and |
|
|
|
then with the 32nd Sikh Pioneers, completing his
military career in its command. He fought in |
|
|
|
the Afghan War of 1878-1880 (being in both the
Bazar Valley expeditions), in Egypt in 1882, |
|
|
|
and in several of the Indian frontier wars of
his period. His last active service was in command |
|
|
|
of
the 32nd Sikh Pioneers in the Hazara, or Black Mountain, expedition of 1891.
His regiment |
|
|
|
was in support o0f the 4th Sikhs, a portion of
whom were holding the village of Ghazikhot, on |
|
|
|
the Indus. This company was severely attacked
one dark night by Hindustani fanatics, who |
|
|
|
rushed on them and killed many with their swords
and daggers. Hearing sounds of fighting |
|
|
|
Bromhead ordered his men to fall in, and not
waiting for the whole regiment to form up dashed |
|
|
|
on ahead with the leading company, supported the
Sikhs, and saved them from extermination. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'After
completing his regimental command Bromhead, on the recommendation of Lord
Roberts, |
|
|
|
was appointed Governor of the Aitchison Chiefs'
College at Lahore. Here he came in close |
|
|
|
|
contact with all the ruling chiefs and nobles of
the Punjab, and advised them as to the bringing |
|
|
|
up and education of their boys. He inspired in
all great confidence, respect, and affection, and |
|
|
|
no British officer of his time was better known
among all classes of people in the Punjab. By |
|
|
|
the Sikhs he was held in special affection,
speaking their language as he did very fluently. For |
|
|
|
years after giving up the command of the 32nd
Sikh Pioneers he was regarded as the "Father |
|
|
|
of the Regiment," and to the very last was
always spoken of by the old Indian officers and |
|
|
|
men as "the Colonel-Sahib." An element
in the great influence over the Sikhs of his eminent |
|
|
|
son-in-law, Field-Marshal Sir William Birdwood,
was his relationship by marriage to this fine |
|
|
|
officer of the old school. Sir Benjamin retired
from India early in 1897. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Before
losing his arms he was known as one of the best small-game shots in India,
and there |
|
|
|
were few parts of Northern India and Kashmir
where he had not penetrated after game of all |
|
|
|
kinds. As a younger man he would spend many
happy days in the desert north of Bikanir with |
|
|
|
his
two riding camels and one or two faithful Indian servants. His closing years
were happily |
|
|
|
spent at his ancestral home , Thurlby Hall, near
Lincoln. He retained his activity to the end, |
|
|
|
strolling in the grounds after breakfast and
then taking long motoring drives. Two years ago |
|
|
|
he had his first air trip in a
passenger-carrying machine at a display at Lincoln. His comment |
|
|
|
was that "it was not thrilling enough." |

On

the heading of "An Eccentric Millionaire":- |

|

|
|
|
|
|
|
'The death of Sir William Cunliffe Brooks, the
great Manchester banker, has removed a notable |
|
|
|
figure on Deeside. The dead baronet of Glentana
was perhaps the nearest approach to a Count |
|
|
|
of Monte Cristo in real life that we have had
for many a day. The visitor to Aboyne district is |
|
|
|
often
puzzled with the quaint inscriptions over roadside walls. If an apt quotation
flashed |
|
|
|
through the baronet's mind at a particular spot
he jotted it down, and presently he had a stone |
|
|
|
erected
at the place bearing the inscription. His donations to objects in which he
was |
|
|
|
|
interested were on a princely scale. His letters
on such occasions were quaintly worded: they |
|
|
|
invariably ran - "Much pleasure have I in
enclosing my cheque per £1,000." In correspondence |
|
|
|
he invariably used crayon pencils of different
colours. Thus, when in good humour he employed |
|
|
|
green; when displeased he changed it to blue,
and when really angry and obdurate he used a |
|
|
|
fiery red, so that sight of the address usually
prepared his officials for the nature of the |
|
|
|
contents of the letter.' |

Sir Henry Delves Broughton, 9th baronet |

|
|
|
|
|

The following article appeared in the New
Zealand 'Bruce Herald' on 30 May 1899:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Of the many thousands who cross and recross
Waterloo Bridge, very few doubtless were |
|
|
|
|
aware that the two dismal-looking houses
abutting upon the Surrey side of the river, and in |
|
|
|
close
contiguity to the old shot tower, were tenanted by an old and wealthy but
yet |
|
|
|
|
eccentric, baronet. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'It was in the garret of one of these houses -
No. 2, Waterloo Road - that the late Sir Henry |
|
|
|
Delves Broughton died recently, at the advanced
age of 91 years. Besides being one of the |
|
|
|
oldest, he was probably one of the most
eccentric members of the baronetage. For years, it |
|
|
|
is said, he never crossed the threshold of the
house in which he elected to live the life of a |
|
|
|
recluse. He passed his time almost exclusively
in the room in which he was found dead. The |
|
|
|
cause of his death was senile decay. There was
no one with him when he died, but a doctor |
|
|
|
had seen him the day before and during the few
weeks previously, so that there was no |
|
|
|
|
necessity for an inquest. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'From the window of his garret the aged baronet
was able to command an extensive view of |
|
|
|
the river and surrounding locality, but one of
the things which seemed to afford him especial |
|
|
|
delight was to paper the walls over and over
again with pictures cut from the various |
|
|
|
|
illustrated papers. A dressing gown was the
chief article of attire. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'He lived frugally. His meals were served and
placed outside his room at stated intervals. No |
|
|
|
servant,
it is said, entered the room for years. He had a strong aversion to medical
men, |
|
|
|
|
and
any business had to be transacted with the baronet on one side and his
interrogator on |
|
|
|
the other side of the partly opened door. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Still, with all his peculiarities, there are
those who will miss the late baronet. He was rich |
|
|
|
|
and he was generous to many old dependants. To
the blind paper seller who stands on the |
|
|
|
bridge close to the house he was also a friend.
And yet it is stated that he had a distrust of |
|
|
|
members of his own sex, and always gave strict
instructions against the admission of any |
|
|
|
male, except members of his own family, to the
house. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
rent roll of this eccentric baronet amounted to £30,000 a year, and he has
left |
|
|
|
|
personalty to the amount of about £150,000.
According to Debrett there are two family |
|
|
|
|
seats: Doddington Park, Nantwich and Broughton
Hall, Staffordshire, and the baronet was |
|
|
|
the patron of five livings.' |

John, the two-year-old son and heir of Sir

in the grounds of his father's house, as
reported by The Times on 14 September 1964:- |
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'John Evelyn Delves, aged two, heir of Sir
Evelyn Delves Broughton, and Lady Broughton, of |
|
|
|
Doddington Park, near Nantwich, Cheshire, was
found drowned on Saturday in a shallow |
|
|
|
|
ornamental pool which was being built in the
garden of his home. The boy was heir to a |

baronetcy
dating back to 1660 [1661]. |

'Mr. Giles Tedstone, farm manager to Sir Evelyn,
said today "Sir Evelyn and Lady Broughton |
|
|
|
had been having tea with their children and
friends on the lawn, and the children wandered |
|
|
|
off afterwards to play. Lady Broughton missed
young John a couple of minutes later and he |

was found in the pool. |

|
|

"Artificial respiration was tried and Sir
Evelyn then drove the boy to hospital but it was all too |

late. The pool was only 18 inches deep and has
now been filled in." |

|
|
|
Cheshire, who was found lying dead in an
ornamental pool at his home was not drowned, it was |
|
|
|
stated at today's inquest at Nantwich on John
Evelyn Delves Broughton, aged two. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Dr.
John Heppleston, pathologist, said that a post-mortem showed that death was
due to a |
|
|
|
blockage of the windpipe by food, caused by
vomiting which had followed immersion in water. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Questioned by Sir Evelyn, Dr. Heppleston said it
was possible that the boy slipped or fell |
|
|
|
|
into the water, and the shock made him vomit. He
could have been dead within part of a |
|
|
|
|
second. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mr. Leonard Culey, West Cheshire deputy
coroner, recording a verdict of accidental death, |
|
|
|
said by a chance in a million the shock of the
water made the boy sick and he asphyxiated. |
|
|
|
It was a case that could not have been foreseen.' |

The baronets of Broun of Colstoun and the
Colstoun Pear |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
One of the ancestors of the ancient house of
Broun of Colstoun married the daughter of Hugo |
|
|
|
de
Gifford, who was also known as the Warlock of Gifford, famous for his
supposed powers of |
|
|
|
necromancy.
As they were proceeding to the church, the wizard lord stopped the
bridal |
|
|
|
|
procession beneath a pear-tree and, plucking one
its pears, he gave it to his daughter, telling |
|
|
|
her that he had no dowry to give her, but that
as long as she kept that gift, good fortune |
|
|
|
would
never desert her or her descendants. This event was supposed to have
happened |
|
|
|
|
around the year 1270. Ever since that time, the
Broun family has carefully preserved the pear |
|
|
|
in a silver box. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The fruit was said to have remained as fresh as
the day it was picked until at some point during |
|
|
|
either
the 16th or 17th centuries (sources differ), a pregnant lady of the family,
who had |
|
|
|
conceived
an intense longing for some fruit which was out of season, attempted to eat
the |
|
|
|
pear.
The pear immediately turned to stone, but with the bite-mark clearly
apparent. Following |
|
|
|
this
incident a period of litigation ensued, as the result of which the family
lost two of its best |
|
|
|
farms on its estates. |

Sir Richard Broun, 8th baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The patents of baronets created in Scotland
prior to 1633 contain a covenant that ".....at |
|
|
|
whatever time, and so soon as, the Eldest Son
and Apparent Heir-male of the said (name of the |
|
|
|
baronet),
or the Eldest Son and Apparent Heir-male of whatsoever Heirs-male succeeding
to |
|
|
|
him,
shall attain the age of twenty-one years, that they, and every one of them
respectively |
|
|
|
by
Us, our Heirs, and Successors, shall be inaugurated Knights whenever they, or
any of them, |
|
|
|
shall require that Order without any Fees, or
expense whatever." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The patents of baronets of Scotland created
after 1633 contain either the wording above, or |
|
|
|
the following general clause - "We give,
grant, and confer, on the said (name of baronet), and |
|
|
|
his Heirs-male, for ever, the title, dignity,
order and honour of Knight-Baronet......" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On 28 June 1633, the Parliament of Scotland
passed a law confirming this privilege. Furthermore, |
|
|
|
by
warrant dated 10 May 1636, addressed to the Chancellor of Scotland, King
Charles I |
|
|
|
|
stated that ".......We will that you knight
the eldest sons of all and every of such Baronets who |
|
|
|
being the perfect age of twenty one years should
desire the same, without putting them to any |
|
|
|
charges or expenses....." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Seeking to take advantage of this privilege, in
July 1836, Richard Broun, eldest son and heir to |
|
|
|
the baronetcy of Broun of Colstoun, made formal
application to the Lord Chamberlain requesting |
|
|
|
that he be presented to the King in order that
he might be knighted. His application contained |
|
|
|
references
to the covenants outlined above which rendered it compulsory for the Crown
to |
|
|
|
grant the knighthood. However, the request was
rejected, on the grounds that the patent |
|
|
|
which
had created the Broun baronetcy in 1686 did not contain any clause
authorising an |
|
|
|
eldest son and heir to claim the honour of
knighthood. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Broun
refused to accept that decision, pointing out that his right to knighthood
was enshrined |
|
|
|
in
the 1633 Act of the Scottish Parliament, and that this statute had been
ratified as part of |
|
|
|
the
Act of Union in 1707. The authorities remained unmoved, however, and the
matter dragged |
|
|
|
on for a number of years until June 1842 when,
at a meeting of the Baronetage, a unanimous |
|
|
|
resolution
was passed that, the constitution of the Baronetage having been broken,
the |
|
|
|
|
baronets
directed that Broun vindicate the privilege by henceforth assuming the honour
of |
|
|
|
knighthood.
As soon as the resolution had been passed, Broun rose and addressed the
meeting |
|
|
|
and formally assumed his knighthood, throwing
the responsibility for his doing so upon the Lord |
|
|
|
Chamberlain. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In later life. Broun was instrumental in
founding the 'London Necropolis and National Mausoleum |
|
|
|
Company,' which established a cemetery at
Brookwood, near Woking. For a time, Brookwood |
|
|
|
was
the largest cemetery in the world, and today remains the largest cemetery in
the United |
|
|
|
Kingdom, with nearly 250,000 people buried there. |

The following brief entry is recorded in the

|
|
|
'At Knightsbridge, Lady Browne, relict of the
late Sir James Browne. Her son, Sir William, in the |
|
|
|
Guards, and nephew of General Browne, having
long been insane, and living in the house with |
|
|
|
her, in the absence of his keeper, took up a
coal-scuttle and dashed his mother's brains out.' |
