Introduction

This document contains transcriptions of memorials

inside the church of St Swithin’s, Walcot, Bath. It is

part of the documentation of burials for the parish

of Walcot.

The church has an extensive set of memorials on

three levels: the crypt, the ground floor and the

gallery. The Saxon church was replaced by a new

church in 1742 but this was pulled down and the

current, larger church built opened in 1777.

Nonetheless memorials from the previous buildings

have survived and the oldest memorial is a mural

plaque in the crypt which has a date of 1683.

In order to locate memorials, they have been

assigned a letter to indicate the level, a letter for

the wall (N/S/E/W) and a sequence number. The

levels are indicated by:

C crypt

F main floor of the church

G the gallery

The sequence numbers are arbitrary. For the

southern and western walls, the numbers start in

the south-western corner. For the northern wall,

the numbers start in the north-western corner. For

the eastern wall the numbers start in the south-

eastern corner.

From The History of the Rise, Progress, and Accomplishment of the Abolition of The African Slave Trade by Thomas Clarkson (1839) p284: “Another from William Senhouse, Esq., of the island of Barbados. In this he gave the particulars of two estates, one of them his own, and the other belonging to a nobleman, upon each of which the slaves, in consequence of humane treatment, had increased by natural population only. Another effect of this humane treatment had been, that these slaves were among the most orderly and tractable in that island. From these and other instances he argued, that if the planters would, all of them, take proper care of their slaves, their humanity would be repaid ina few years, by a valuable increase in their property, and they would never want supplies form a traffic, which had been so justly condemned.” See also The Loyalist Collection (MIC-Loyalist FC LFR.S4J6P3) at Carlisle Record Office.

How mourn’d and lamented in his End.

Hark! twas the knell of Death what spirit fled And burst the shackles Man is doom’d to bear Can it be true and midst the senseless dead

Must sorrowing thousands count the loss of HARE Shall not his Genius Life’s short date prolong?

(Pure as the Ether of his kindred sky.) Shall Wit enchant no longer from his Tongue

and beam in vivid flashes from his eye Oh no! that mind for every purpose fit.

Has met alas! the universal doom Unrivall’d Fancy judgement sense and Wit Were his and only left him at the tomb.

Rest spirit, rest, for gentle was thy course, Thy rays like beams divine no venom knew,

For still benevolence allay’ the force Of the keen dart thy matchless satire threw.

Yet not alone thy Genius deplore Nor o’er thy various talents drop the tear, But weep to think we shall behold no more

A lost companion and a fired sincere. By the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire

Mason’s mark: T. KING FECIT From the Morning Post of Mon 19 Mar 1804 p3:

JAMES HARE, ESQ. M.P. FOR KNARESBOROUGH

This Gentleman, so celebrated for convivial wit; upon the whole, one of the most accomplished men in our days, died on Saturday, at Bath.

The numberless merits and variety of excellence which distinguished the character of Mr. HARE, would require an ampler space for their elucidation than the friend, who, deeply deploring the death, as he sincerely regarded him living, contributes a few fugitive words to preserve his memory from instant oblivion, can devote to that melancholy but most interesting retrspect.

Mr. HARE was of a family very respectable, but placed in what is called middle-life. At Eton began, and at Oxford continued, that intimacy which matured into indissoluble friendship, and lasted to the close of his life, between this Gentleman and that knot of eminent men who are though to be the nearest to the heart of Mr. FOX. ...

From the Bury and Norwich Post of Wed 29 Feb 1804 p2: “At his house in Gay-street, Bath, Mr. Parkinson, the much-esteemed dentist, of Racquet-court, Fleet-street, London.” From The Christian Observer, Volume 3 (1804) edited by Josiah Pratt, Zachary Macaulay p195: “At his house in Gay-street, (which he had recently purchased for his future residence,) Mr. Parkinson, Dentist, of Racquet-court, Fleet-street. He went to bed the preceding evening in perfect health.” (Similar text appears in The Gentleman’s Magazine Vol LXXIV Jan-Jun 1804 p191.) PROB 11/1409/172 Will of John Parkinson, Surgeon Dentist of Macquet (sic) Court Fleet Street, City of London 19 May 1804. From Helm Dictionary of Scientific Bird Names by James A. Jobling (2010) p293: Parkinsonius (Syn. Menura) John Parkinson, a London

dentist, won the Lever Museum by lottery in 1788; based on “Le Parkinson” of Audebert & Viellot (1802): “A very beautiful figure of this bird has been lately published by Mons. Viellot ... under the name of Le Parkinson, in honour of John Parkinson, Esq. of the Leverian Museum, through whose means Mons. Viellot received a most elegant drawing of the bird” (Shaw 1803).

According to The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, it was James Parkinson (1730-1813) whose wife had, unbeknownst to him, bought the lottery tickets, gives a date of 1786 when the lottery draw was held and this refers to his son John (1775-1847). This is confirmed by the report in the Oxford Journal of 1 Apr 1786 p1 although this states that “Mr Parkinson


36


purchased two Tickets for himself, and often in a jocose Manner told his Friends he had a Presentiment of winning the Museum”.

the first wife of ROBERT DONKIN Esqr

(A General in his Majesty’s Service)

and Daughter of the Revd EMANUEL COLLINS, A.M.

who departed this life Decr 16th 1815. Aged 70 Years.

In Urban History, 34, 1 (2007) in an article entitled ‘Bringing great shame upon this city’: sodomy, the courts and the civic idiom in eighteenth-century Bristol by Steve Poole: “In 1756, Emanuel Collins, curate, schoolmaster and doggerel poet, penned an extraordinary moral vindication of the city of Bristol, following the public disclosure of a pederasty scandal in the Baptist College and the flight of a number of suspects.” In The Life and Correspondence of Robert Southey. Ed. by C.C. Southey there is reference to: Miscellanies in Prose and Verse; consisting of Essays, Abstracts, Original Poems, Letters, Tales, Translations, Panegyricks, Epigrams, and Epitaphs ... by Emanuel Collins, A. B., late of Wadham College, Oxford. Bristol; printed by E. Farley, in Small Street 1762. A footnote also has “Southey’s erstwhile schoolfellow Rufane Shaw Donkin (1773–1841; DNB). He was the son of General Robert Donkin (1726/7–1821) and of Mary, the daughter of the Revd Emanuel Collins. Collins was the Vicar of Bedminster in Somerset in the mid-18th century and had scandalised local society by running a public house, ‘The Duke of Marlborough’, conducting clandestine marriages for money and lampooning his neighbours in verse.” This is also mentioned in For Better, For Worse: British Marriages,1600 to the Present by John R Gillis (OUP: 1985) p94. The source of this story seems to be A Chronological Outline of the History of Bristol, and the

From A Genealogical and Heraldic History of The Commoners of Great Britain and Ireland Volume II by John Burke (1835) p69: General ROBERT DONKIN, (descended from a respectable family, proprietors of considerable landed property in Northumberland, presumed to have emigrated originally from Scotland, in some of the civil conflicts of that country, to have settled on the borders, and to have changed the name from DUNCAN) was born 19th March 1727, and adopting a military life, entered the army in 1746. In 1761 he was at the siege of Bellisle, under General St. Clair, and there became acquainted with the historian, Hume, from whose dictation he wrote an account of the expedition. He was subsequently Aide-de-camp to General Fowke, (to whom captain, afterwards General Wolfe, was at the time Major of Brigade) and served in Flanders, during the campaigns of that period. He participated in the seven years’ war as a captain, and was Aide-de-camp and Secretary to General Rufane, while he was Governor and Commander-in-Chief at Martinique. General Donkin went afterwards to America, and served there from 1775 to 1783, to the commencement, as Aide-de-camp to the Commander-in-chief General Gage, and subsequently as Major of the 44th Regiment, and as Lieutenant Colonel Commandant of the Royal Garrison Battalion, which latter commission he held until the reduction of the

Not here her resting place; Her Portion is not here; and happiest they Who gathering early all that Earth can give Shake off this mortal coil, and speed for Heaven: Such fate had he whose relics lie below. Few were his Days yet long enough to learn Love; duty; generous feelings; high desire; Faith and devotion; these are deathless seeds That have their blossom in Eternity, And what beside could length of years have given; Joys frailer even than health or human life; Temptations; certain Sorrows; Sin perchance; Evils that wound and cares that fret the heart; Repine not therefore, ye who love the dead.

She died February 21st 1793 Aged 49.

From The Historic Guide to Bath by Rev G. N. Weight (1864) “The memory of Maria Langham has had the happy accident of being recorded by the pen of Hannah More. The language breathes faith and love ; and friendship has seldom been expressed more simply and gracefully; for beautiful simplicity it may be taken as a type of its class. The tomb is dated 1793.” From The Bath Chronicle of Thu 28 Feb 1793 p3 in a list of deaths: “Thursday died, at her lodgings on the South-Parade, Miss Langham, late of Northamptonshire.” PROB 11/1230/143 Will of Maria Langham, Spinster of Northampton , Northamptonshire, date 21 Mar 1793. Hannah More (1745-1833) was an author and playwright, a reformer and philanthropist. She was actibe in the anti-slavery movement. The Sorrows of Yamba; or, the Negro Woman's Lamentation (London: 1797) is attributed to her, although it is now believed that she expanded on an original poem by Eaglesfield Smith. There was controversy when she established various schools in North Somerset the educate the poor. The curate of Blagdon objected to the conduct of the schoolmaster and there followed protracted correspondence betwen the curate (Thomas Bere), the rector and Hannah More, which the curate published. In Hannah More: The First Victorian by Anne Stott (CUP, 1952) “The ostensible cause of the controversy was the quarrel between the curate and the schoolmaster of Blagdon. The real issue behind this unimportant quarrel was whether the lower orders should be educated at all, and, if so, by whom.” The Post Ofice in its ‘Abolition of the Slave Trade’ stamp issue in 2007 had one for Hannah More. She has an entry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. There is plaque at the house in Pulteney Street where she lived.

Sacred to the memory of the Revd JAMES SPARROW for upwards of 40 Years Rector of this Parish,

who exchanged this mortal life for a glorious immortality March the 18th 1774 in the 71st Year of his Age.

He was a faithful and most assiduous labourer in Gospel Vineyard, always going about doing good after

the example of his divine Master, and constantly practicing those excellent and sublime virtues

which purify and perfect the Christian character, and a.dd the brightest lustre to the sacred function:

“When the Eye saw him it blessed him” His amiable and exemplary manners gained him the love

and veneration of his flock, and the consciousness of having discharged his Duty to God and Man with sincerity, enabled him in his late hours to exclaim

with triumphant rapture in the words of the Apostle O Death, where is thy Sting. O Grave, where is thy Victory.

He rests from his benevolent labours, and his works follow him to those Mansions of Glory, where they who turn many to Righteousness shall shine as the stars for

ever and ever

This stone is also consecrated to the memory of FRANCES SPARROW his wife, whose domestic and

truly Christian virtue endeared her to all who knew her, more particularly to those with whom she connected

by the strongest ties of Duty and affection.

From a background to a miniature portrait of Joshua Uhthoff produced in 1805: “Joshua Uhthoff (1786-1818) the first English Envoy at Goa, began his career in India at the age of 16. He was the son of Henry Uhthoff, a London merchant and Mary-Anne Vanneck, daughter of Sir Joshua Vanneck. Uhthoff left for India in 1781, serving in several posts including Commissioner for Malabar before returning to Britain in 1805. When Uhthoff left Goa, the British officers there presented him with a massive gold two-handled, cup now in the Gilbert Collection at the Victoria & Albert Museum. Uhthoff settled in Bath where he married Jane Farrer, the sister of his brother Henry's wife in 1806. They had three daughters.” The birth year of 1786 seems incorrect given the age declared on the memorial and in the burial register.

From The Scotsman of 14 Jul 2004 in an article about the selling of Jordanstone House: “The present house, which forms the core of the building today, was built in the 18th century for Admiral Sir John Knight, a sea captain who took his place in history when he escorted Caroline of Brunswick to Britain for her short and tempestuous marriage to the future George IV. Sir John caused a bit of outrage himself in Perthshire when he insisted that, as an agnostic, he would be buried not on hallowed ground but on his own estate. His elaborate tomb now lies just outside the Jordanstone policies.”

From the United Service Magazine p144: “March 31, at his residence in Paragon Buildings, Bath, Lieut.-Colonel Andrew Coughlan, of the late 3rd R. V. Battalion, aged 70. He had first entered the Company’s service in the Artillery of the Madras Presidency. and was present in the actions of the first war against Tippo Saib under Marquis Cornwallis; he afterwards got removed to the British service, and may be said to have commenced a fresh career in the 45th Regt. He was with that corps in the West Indies, subsequently in South America, and in all the services of that very distinguished regiment during the Peninsular War. At the peace of 1814 he was appointed to the command of the York Rangers, subsequently to that of the 5th Veteran Battalion and finally to the 3rd. Remaining on retired full-pay, his rank was held in abeyance, otherwise he would have been one of the oldest Colonels of the Army. He was twice severely wounded in the Peninsular; by one of these, in the head, he remained insensible for four hours. He met the approach of death with the courage of a soldier, and the only regret he expressed was that it had not taken place on the field of battle.” From the burial register: Andrew Coghlan, aged 70, of 18 Paragon Buildings, Bath, was buried on 7 Apr 1837.

These Honours, Sole Rewards of his faithful Services,

It is easy to Name, and grateful to Record; But who shall delineate his noble Character?

His Kindness on the Bed of torture; The PURITY of his INTEGRITY: the TRANSPARENCY of his HONOUR;

or the indiscribable charm of his Social Virtues? His shadowy, faded Form

Is deposited in WALCOT Church Yard. His devoted Wife and darling Son

Consecrate This poor Tablet to his loved Remembrance; With devout Aspiration that his own tender Last prayer

For Their Eternal RE-UNION in the blest Abode of Immortal Spirits,

From The Gentleman’s Magazine Vol LXXVIII Jan-Jun 1808 p90: “In the Crescent at Bath, Edward Horne, esq. of Bevis Mount, near Southampton, Hants. He was a gentleman of great taste, genius, and liberality; a cherisher of real merit (though found in the precincts of a cottage); a pleasant and instructive companion, and a sincere friend. Eton College had the honour of his education; few surpassed him in classic elegance or mathematical precision. About the year 1775 Mr. H. purchased the Leasowes, in Shropshire, which he greatly improved, and evinced much taste in the erection of the house, which he adapted to the native simplicity of that celebrated Ferme Ornée. His elegant Dedication to the Bard of the place appeared in our vol. LXV. p. 457. Several complimentary poems were written on his improvements at the Leasowes; see our vol. LXIV. p. 802, and vol. LXXVI. p493. In 1780 he was high sheriff for the county of Salop. On purchasing Bevis Mount; a seat of the late Lord Peterborough, Mr. H. disposed of the Leasowes, after a residence of many years. It is much to be regretted that he never turned his thoughts to obtain a seat in the British Senate, for which he was so eminently qualified by nature, education, and fortune.” From the burial register: Edward Horne was buried on 10 Jan 1808.

Thomas Pownall – British Defender of American Liberty: A Study of Anglo-American Relations in the Eighteenth Century by John A Schutz, California Institute of Technology (1951)

He was author of The Administration of the Colonies in 1764. In this he proposes two principles viz: “1st, That all the profits of the produce and manufactures of these colonies center in the mother country: and 2dly, That the colonies continue to be the sole and special proper customers of the mother country. It is on this valuable consideration (as Mr. Dummer, in his prudent and spirited defense of the colonies says) they


132


have a right to the grants, charters, privileges, and protection which they receive; and also on the other hand, it is from these grants, charters, privileges and protection given to them that the mother country has an exclusive right to the external profits of their labour and to their custom...” At that time he considered independence of the colonies from the mother country impossible.
