|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The 7th Earl committed suicide in November
1961. The following account of the inquest into |
|
|
|
the Earl's death appeared in 'The Irish Times'
of 8 November 1961:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A
butler told Dr. A.C. Somerville, the East Sussex coroner, at East Grinstead
yesterday that |
|
|
|
after he had found the 72-year-old Earl of
Castle Stewart dead in his study, he picked up the |
|
|
|
12-bore hammerless shotgun that was lying by
his side and cleaned it. The earl's seat was at |
|
|
|
Stewartstown, co. Tyrone. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The coroner said that it was clear that the
earl had killed himself, but the butler, Mr. Frederick |
|
|
|
Taylor, had seriously interfered with the evidence. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'He
recorded a verdict of suicide while the balance of the mind was disturbed on
the earl, who |
|
|
|
lived at Old Lodge, Nutley, Sussex. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Dr.
A. Sachs, consultant pathologist to Queen Victoria Hospital, East Grinstead,
told the |
|
|
|
|
coroner that the earl had died from a gun shot
in the mouth. Shotgun pellets had been found |
|
|
|
in his skull. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lady Castle Stewart said that last July her
husband had been under several doctors and in |
|
|
|
hospital with depression and melancholia. He
was allowed home on October 21st, but still |
|
|
|
|
appeared very depressed. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The butler, Mr. Taylor, who had been with the
earl for seven years, told the coroner that the |
|
|
|
earl asked him for a gun on November 5th. He
gave him his 12-bore hammerless shotgun. He |
|
|
|
then asked for some cartridges and loaded the
gun, setting the safety catch. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'When the countess told him that the earl had
killed himself he took the gun from the study, |
|
|
|
emptied it, cleaned it, and put it back in its
case. He now realised that it was a stupid thing |
|
|
|
to do. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Dr. A.C. Rumsey, the earl's doctor since 1947,
said that the earl had asked him a few days |
|
|
|
earlier if it would be a cowardly action to
take his own life.' |

The following story which tells of an incident
that happened to Lord Castletown appeared in |
|
|
|
the Adelaide 'Advertiser' on 8 March 1924:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Lord Castletown, one of the most versatile and
accomplished members of the peerage, has |
|
|
|
(says the "News of the World") a
great gift of vivid narrative. He is one of the most travelled |
|
|
|
members of the aristocracy, and it is not
without interest to recall that he fought with the |
|
|
|
Household Cavalry at Tel-el-Kebir [during the
Anglo-Egyptian War on 13 September 1882]. In |
|
|
|
the current number of the "Parish
Paper" of the Church of St.Jude-on-the-Hill, Hampstead, he |
|
|
|
relates with wonderful vividness a tragic
affair which happened on the [French] Riviera. |

"In the morning I was sitting on a bench
at Monaco, on the Riviera, looking over the blue |
|
|
|
|
Mediterranean, and wondering how anyone could
be foolish enough to live in our fog-ridden |
|
|
|
climate
when so much sunlight and beauty could be obtained within a few hours of
London. |
|
|
|
Presently
I walked into the Casino, which was in full swing, and there my curiosity
was |
|
|
|
|
attracted by a tall, rather handsome lady in
black, accompanied by a small, bandy-legged man, |
|
|
|
apparently her husband. They were playing at
one of the tables. I watched them for some time, |
|
|
|
and saw that they were losing heavily. They
were there again in the afternoon, the luck still |
|
|
|
against them. As they left the table the man
walked up to me and said courteously, in excellent |
|
|
|
English, "Monsieur seems to take an
interest in our bad fortune. Will he honour us by having tea |
|
|
|
with us?" I was delighted to accept, and
we walked to their villa on the cliffs to the west of the |
|
|
|
town, where we had an excellent tea. They were
an Italian couple, members of a distinguished |
|
|
|
family;
but though the villa was luxuriously furnished, I noticed they had only one
servant, an |
|
|
|
old
woman. After dinner I walked down from my hotel to the sea. The beach in the
moonlight |
|
|
|
was
almost as bright as day, and as I passed under the villa of my new friends I
saw them |
|
|
|
standing
on the balcony looking out over the Mediterranean. Then, as I was gazing
upwards, |
|
|
|
the
man suddenly seized the woman, and, in spite of her struggles, hurled her
over the railings. |
|
|
|
She fell almost at my feet. A moment after, the
man threw himself after her. He was killed on |
|
|
|
the
spot, but she lingered, and, resting in my arms, told me how they had lost
all, and |
|
|
|
|
determined
on suicide. She had hesitated, and he had hurled her over first, and then
died |
|
|
|
himself. As she passed away in her death agony
the bells of all the churches were ringing in |
|
|
|
Christmas Day, and those two poor souls went to
their Maker as Christ was born into the world." |

'The Scotsman,' 12 May 1928:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It was announced in last night's "London
Gazette" that the King has been pleased by Letters |
|
|
|
Patent under the Great Seal of the Realm,
bearing date of 8th inst., to grant the dignity of a |
|
|
|
Countess of the United Kingdom unto Anne
Estella Sarah Penfold, Viscountess Cave, widow of |
|
|
|
the
Right Honourable George, Viscount Cave, G.C.M.G., by the name, style, and
title of |
|
|
|
|
Countess
Cave of Richmond, and at her decease the dignity of an Earl of the said
United |
|
|
|
|
Kingdom
to the heirs male of her body lawfully begotten by the name, style and title
of Earl |
|
|
|
Cave of Richmond. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Lord Cave, who left no heir, died on March 29
within twenty-four hours of his resignation of |
|
|
|
the office of Lord Chancellor. That resignation
was the consequence of an illness which was |
|
|
|
so soon to prove fatal. The announcement that
he had resigned was accompanied by an |
|
|
|
|
intimation of the King's intention to bestow
upon him an Earldom of the United Kingdom. The |
|
|
|
immediate death of Lord Cave, however,
precluded the possibility of the issue of the necessary |
|
|
|
Letters Patent. Last night's announcement,
therefore, that his widow had been created a |
|
|
|
|
Countess in her own right will occasion to
surprise. There are, of course, many precedents for |
|
|
|
the bestowal upon the widow of a distinguished
public man of an honour for which her husband |
|
|
|
had been designated, but which he did not live
to enjoy.' |

Henry Brydges, 2nd Duke of Chandos |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Chandos married three times; his first marriage
was in 1728 to Mary Bruce, daughter of the 3rd |
|
|
|
Earl of Ailesbury. She died, after 10 years of
marriage, on 14 August 1738. However, it is with |
|
|
|
his second marriage that we are more concerned. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following is taken from "Notes and
Queries" [4th series, no. 6, 27 August 1870]. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The Duke of Chandos and a companion dined at
the Pelican, Newbury, on their way to London. |
|
|
|
After dinner there was a stir and a bustle in
the inn yard, and the explanation was "A man is |
|
|
|
going to sell his wife, and they are leading
her up the yard with a halter round her neck." "We |
|
|
|
will go and see the sale," said the duke
to his companion. They did so. The duke was smitten |
|
|
|
with her beauty and patient acquiescence in a
process which would (as then supposed) set her |
|
|
|
free from the power of a harsh and
ill-conditioned husband. He bought her, and married her on |
|
|
|
Christmas
Day, 1744. His first wife had died 1738, but whether at that time the duke
was a |
|
|
|
widower, or whether a considerable time
intervened between the date of her purchase and her |
|
|
|
becoming Duchess of Chandos, does not appear.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
lady the Duke had purchased was Anne Jeffries, nee Wells, and she was
described as a |
|
|
|
'chambermaid at the Pelican Inn, Newbury.' She
died in August 1759, leaving a daughter. The |
|
|
|
Duke married a third time, in 1767, Elizabeth
Major, daughter of Sir John Major, 1st baronet. |

According to the article in Wikipedia,
"the Irish Rebellion of 1641 began as an attempted coup |
|
|
|
d'état by Irish Catholic
gentry, but developed into inter-communal violence between native |
|
|
|
Irish and English and Scottish Protestant
settlers, starting a conflict known as the Irish |
|
|
|
|
Confederate Wars. The rising was sparked by
Catholic fears of an impending invasion of Ireland |
|
|
|
by anti-Catholic forces of the English Long
Parliament and the Scottish Covenanters. In turn, |
|
|
|
the
rebel's suspected association with the King of England, Scotland and Ireland,
Charles I, |
|
|
|
exacerbated the situation leading up to, and
ultimately resulting in, the start of the English |
|
|
|
Civil
War. The Irish rebellion broke out in October 1641, and was followed by
several months |
|
|
|
of violent chaos in Ireland before the Irish
Catholic upper classes and clergy formed the Catholic |
|
|
|
Confederation in the summer of 1642. The
Confederation became a de facto government of |
|
|
|
most of Ireland, free from the control of the
English state and loosely aligned with the Royalist |
|
|
|
side
in the Wars of the Three Kingdoms. The subsequent war continued in Ireland
until the |
|
|
|
1650s, when Oliver Cromwell's New Model Army
decisively defeated the Irish Catholics and |
|
|
|
Royalists, and re-conquered the country." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
One of the leaders of the Irish Rebellion was
Sir Phelim O'Neill, who in October 1641 captured |
|
|
|
the
fort of Charlemont, of which Toby Caulfeild, 3rd Baron Charlemont, was the
Governor. |
|
|
|
Lodge,
in his "Peerage of Ireland" [4 vols, 1754] describes the subsequent
events [I have |
|
|
|
modernised the spelling and punctuation]:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir Phelim O'Neill that day [22 October 1641]
went to dine with his Lordship, who very joyfully |
|
|
|
received and entertained him; but Sir Phelim
having appointed that visit as a sign to his Irish |
|
|
|
followers, they repaired thither in great
numbers, and his Lordship's whole company, with the |
|
|
|
Captain-Lieutenant Anthony Stratford, were
either killed or imprisoned, and all the arms and |
|
|
|
goods seized by Sir Phelim, who, being thus
master of the place, marched that very night and |
|
|
|
took Dungannon, and after keeping his Lordship,
with his mother, sisters, brothers, and the |
|
|
|
rest of the family fifteen weeks prisoners in
Charlemont, sent them about five miles distance to |
|
|
|
Killenane, the house of Lawrence Netterville,
and the next day, sending away Major Patrick Dory, |
|
|
|
the
Lord Caulfeild earnestly desired Sir Phelim that the major might stay with
him, because he |
|
|
|
could speak the Irish language. But Sir Phelim
answered that the major was a traitor, and should |
|
|
|
not stay with his Lordship, but that he would
have better company before night, and the same |
|
|
|
day [1 March 1642], in the major's presence,
committed the charge of his Lordship to Captain |
|
|
|
Neale Modder O Neile and Captain Neale McKenna
of the Trough in the county of Monaghan, |
|
|
|
with
directions to convey him to Cloughowter Castle. That night he was taken to
Kinard, Sir |
|
|
|
Phelim's own castle, when, going into the
castle, between the said two captains, the latter |
|
|
|
spoke to Edmond Boy O Hugh, foster-brother to
Sir Phelim, saying, "Where is your heart now?" |
|
|
|
Whereupon the said Edmond shot his Lordship in
the back, whereof he then died. And that same |
|
|
|
night there were also 15 or 16 of Sir Phelim's
servants and tenants, all English and Scots, |
|
|
|
|
murdered at Kinard, among whom was a base son
of Sir Phelim's also murdered, because his |
|
|
|
mother was a British woman......" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Being unmarried, the 3rd Baron was succeeded by
his next oldest brother, Robert, "who was |
|
|
|
a Captain after the Rebellion began, but
enjoyed the title only a few months, his death being |
|
|
|
occasioned by prescribing to himself too large
a quantity of opium." [Lodge] |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After Cromwell's forces had suppressed the
rebellion, Sir Phelim O'Neill was captured and taken |
|
|
|
to Dublin, where he was found guilty of treason
and was hanged, drawn and quartered in |
|
|
|
|
August 1653. |

Chesham |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lord Chesham was killed in a hunting accident
in November 1907. The following report of the |
|
|
|
subsequent inquest into his death appeared in
the 'Manchester Guardian' of 12 November 1907:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In the library of Holdenby House, the home of
Lord Annaly, master of the Pytchley Hounds, the |
|
|
|
inquest on the late Lord Chesham was held
yesterday. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The Coroner (Mr. C.H. Davies, of Northampton)
said he was sure they all sympathised very |
|
|
|
deeply with Lady Chesham in her terrible
bereavement. She had had very sad misfortunes in |
|
|
|
having lost her daughter by a pony bolting [for
further details see below], her eldest son, |
|
|
|
|
killed in the South African War [at the Battle
of Diamond Hill on 11 June 1900], and now her |
|
|
|
husband. Those who knew Lord Chesham were aware
that he was of a most generous and |
|
|
|
genial disposition, thoroughly kind and cheery
with all with whom he came into contact. |
|
|
|
|
He was ready to do anything in his power,
especially for the men on his estates. He would |
|
|
|
be greatly missed by hosts of friends, from
Royalty downwards. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Captain B. Beatty, of Kibworth Grange,
Leicestershire, said: "I was hunting with the Pytchley |
|
|
|
Hounds on Saturday last, and was riding close
to Lord Chesham, whom I had known all my life. |
|
|
|
Hounds were in full cry across a wheat field
close to Welton Reservoir, near Daventry, and I |
|
|
|
was
riding not far behind Lord Chesham. When we got near to the boundary hedge I
shouted |
|
|
|
to him to take the fence first. A lot of other
members of the hunt had been across the same |
|
|
|
place. Lord Chesham's horse made for the fence
at a good rate, but caught its forefoot on the |
|
|
|
fence. It recovered itself sufficiently to get
over the fence, but not far enough to land clear of |
|
|
|
the ditch on the other side. The result was
that the animal fell, turning a complete somersault. |
|
|
|
I
jumped off my horse and got over the fence. Lord Chesham was lying on his
face, with his |
|
|
|
head and shoulders under the horse. I went to
the horse's head, but before I could reach it the |
|
|
|
animal jumped up, and galloped away. When I got
to Lord Chesham he was, in my opinion, |
|
|
|
already
dead. A doctor was sent for and the Master, Lord Annaly, notified. The hunt
was |
|
|
|
stopped, and I, with others, remained with the
body until a doctor arrived. I afterwards helped |
|
|
|
to remove the body to Holdenby House by the
express wish of Lord Annaly." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Doctor A. Harrison said he was riding on his
rounds between Daventry and Walton when the |
|
|
|
news of the accident reached him, and he at
once hurried to the spot. Lord Chesham must |
|
|
|
have died immediately, the vertebrae being
broken at the junction of the head and neck. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In returning a verdict of accidental death the
foreman of the jury, the Rev. T.W. Bankes-Jones, |
|
|
|
rector
of Holdenby, said: "The jury desire that an expression of their deepest
sympathy be |
|
|
|
sent to the bereaved family. Lord Chesham was
known to most of us as the very beau-ideal |
|
|
|
of an English nobleman, and wherever he went
his bright and cheery presence came as a ray |
|
|
|
of sunshine." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The daughter referred to in the above report
was killed in a riding accident. A report in the |
|
|
|
'Cheshire Observer' of 10 July 1897 states that
"a sad accident which, we deeply regret to |
|
|
|
state, resulted fatally, occurred on Thursday
to the Hon. Marjorie Beatrice Cavendish, |
|
|
|
|
youngest daughter of Lord and Lady Chesham,
niece of the Duchess, and grand-daughter of |
|
|
|
the Duke of Westminster. Her ladyship, who was
about eight years of age, was riding in the |
|
|
|
neighbourhood of Upton House, Banbury, Lord
Chesham's seat, when her pony, after stumbling, |
|
|
|
bolted at a terrific pace. As a result her
ladyship was unseated, and her foot being held by the |
|
|
|
stirrup she was dragged half-a-mile along the
road, sustaining dreadful injuries." |

Cheshire was awarded his Victoria Cross in
September 1944 not for any one act of valour, as is |

|

usually the case, but in recognition of an
extended period of sustained courage and outstanding |
|
|
|
effort. |

The citation reads:- |
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The King has conferred the Victoria Cross for
most conspicuous bravery on a pilot of R.A.F. |
|
|
|
Bomber Command who has completed 100 missions
since the start of the war. The award is |
|
|
|
made
to Wing Commander Geoffrey Leonard Cheshire, D.S.O. and two bars, D.F.C.,
Royal Air |
|
|
|
Force Volunteer Reserve, 617 Squadron [The 'Dam
Busters']. |

|

|
|
|
|
'This
officer began his operational career in June, 1940. Against strongly defended
targets he |
|
|
|
soon
displayed the courage and determination of an exceptional leader. He was
always ready |
|
|
|
to
accept extra risks to ensure success. Defying the formidable Ruhr defences.
He frequently |
|
|
|
released
his bombs from below 2,000ft. Aver Cologne in November, 1940, a shell burst
inside |
|
|
|
his aircraft, blowing out one side and starting
a fire. Undeterred, he went on to bomb his target. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'At the end of his first tour of operational
duty he immediately volunteered for a second. Again |
|
|
|
he
pressed home his attacks with the utmost gallantry. Berlin, Bremen, Cologne,
Duisberg, |
|
|
|
Essen, and Kiel were among the heavily defended
targets which he attacked. When he was |
|
|
|
posted for instructional duties in January,
1942, he undertook four more operational missions. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'He started a third operational tour in August,
1942, when he was given command of a |
|
|
|
|
squadron.
He led the squadron with outstanding skill before being appointed a
station |
|
|
|
|
commander in March, 1943. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In
October, 1943, he undertook a fourth operational tour, relinquishing the rank
of group |
|
|
|
|
captain
at his own request so that he could again take part in operations. He
immediately set |
|
|
|
to
work as the pioneer of a new method of marking enemy targets involving very
low flying. In |
|
|
|
June,
1944, when marking a target in the harbour at Le Havre in broad daylight and
without |
|
|
|
cloud cover, he dived well below the range of
the light batteries before releasing his marker- |
|
|
|
bombs, and he came very near to being destroyed
by the strong barrage. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'During his fourth tour, which ended last July,
Wing Commander Cheshire led his squadron |
|
|
|
|
personally on every occasion, always
undertaking the most dangerous and difficult task of |
|
|
|
marking the target alone from a low level in
the face of strong defences. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Wing Commander Cheshire's cold and calculated
acceptance of risks is exemplified by his |
|
|
|
|
conduct in an attack on Munich in April. This
was an experimental attack to test the new |
|
|
|
|
method of target-marking at low level against a
heavily defended target situated deep in |
|
|
|
|
Reich territory. Munich was selected, at Wing
Commander Cheshire's request, because of the |
|
|
|
formidable nature of its light anti-aircraft
and searchlight defences. He was obliged to follow, |
|
|
|
in bad weather, a direct route which took him
over the defences of Augsberg and thereafter |
|
|
|
he was continuously under fire. As he reached
the target, flares were being released by our |
|
|
|
high-flying aircraft. He was illuminated from
above and below. All guns within range opened |
|
|
|
fire on him. Diving to 700ft. he dropped his
markers with great precision and began to climb |
|
|
|
away. So blinding were the searchlights that he
almost lost control. He then flew over the |
|
|
|
city at 1000ft. to assess the accuracy of his
work and direct other aircraft. His own was |
|
|
|
|
badly
hit by shell fragments, but he continued to fly over the target area until he
was |
|
|
|
|
satisfied that he had done all in his power to
ensure success. For 12 minutes after leaving the |
|
|
|
target area he was under withering fire, but he
came safely through. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Wing Commander Cheshire has now completed 100
missions. In four years of fighting against |
|
|
|
the bitterest opposition he has maintained a
record of outstanding personal achievement, |
|
|
|
|
placing himself invariably in the forefront of
the battle. What he did in the Munich operation |
|
|
|
was typical of the careful planning, brilliant
execution, and contempt for danger which has |
|
|
|
established for Wing Commander Cheshire a
reputation second to none in Bomber Command.' |

life to charity, founding an organization whose |
|
|
|
aim is to provide care for disabled persons
throughout the world. Cheshire was created a |
|
|
|
|
member of the Order of Merit in 1981, and was
made a life peer in 1991, both honours being, |
|
|
|
in my humble opinion, very much deserved. |
