Arthur Coventry was born in Melton Mowbray in 1852. He was the son of the Hon. Henry Amelius Coventry, of Coventry House, Burton End, Melton Mowbray (after his mother died, they moved to Pickwell Manor) and grandson of the eighth Earl of Coventry. He was the youngest brother of Eleanor, Countess of Suffolk. His London residences were at 53a, Pall Mall and at 83 Piccadilly. He was 73 when he died, at The Old Manor, Salisbury, Wilts. He is buried at the Parish Churchyard, Charlton Close.

A few old family documents concerning my grandmother:
Henry Callander (or Henry Burn-Callander; the preferred name is Callander)
was a descendant of James I and VI of England and Scotland, and of Charles II and Nell Gwyn, of course. See this genealogy,
and Part 13 - which, I note, is incomplete.

Maria Gunning, Countess of Coventry

Crichton Castle
(from Marmion, Sir Walter Scott)
AT length up that wild dale they wind,
Where Crichtoun Castle crowns the bank;
For there the Lion’s care assigned
A lodging meet for Marmion’s rank.
That Castle rises on the steep
Of the green vale of Tyne:
And far beneath, where slow they creep
From pool to eddy, dark and deep,
Where alders moist and willows weep,
You hear her streams repine.
The towers in different ages rose;
Their various architecture shows
The builders’ various hands;
A mighty mass, that could oppose,
When deadliest hatred fired its foes,
The vengeful Douglas bands.
Crichtoun! though now thy miry court,
But pens the lazy steer and sheep,
Thy turrets rude, and tottered Keep,
Have been the minstrel’s loved resort.
Oft have I traced, within thy fort,
Of mouldering shields the mystic sense,
Scutcheons of honor or pretence,
Quartered in old armorial sort,
Remains of rude magnificence.
Nor wholly yet had time defaced
Thy lordly gallery fair;
Nor yet the stony cord unbraced,
Whose twisted notes, with roses laced,
Adorn thy ruined stair.
Still rises unimpaired, below,
The courtyard’s graceful portico;
Above its cornice, row and row
Of fair hewn facets richly show
Their pointed diamond form,
Though there but houseless cattle go,
To shield them from the storm.
And, shuddering, still may we explore,
Where oft whilom were captives pent,
The darkness of thy Massy More;
Or, from thy grass-grown battlement,
May trace, in undulating line,
The sluggish mazes of the Tyne.

Update, June 2014; Just Published:
From History of Parliament: CALLANDER, Alexander (1741-92), of Crichton and Preston Hall, Edinburgh and Elphinstone, Haddington - "Callander was an applicant for a writership in 1758, and spent the next 25 years in the East India Company service in Bombay. He evidently prospered: on his return home he bought extensive landed property in the shires of Edinburgh and Haddington and in 1789 Lawrence Hill reckoned him to be worth £6,000 a year. He invested in East India Company stock".

More history of Preston Hall
Hello. Interesting stuff. I am seeking a photo or painting of H.B. Callander for publication. Can you help?
ReplyDeleteandrew.burnet@scotland.gsi.gov.uk
Thanks!
I have replied by email
ReplyDeleteHi Jim,
ReplyDeleteGreat to see your wonderful photos and impressive Callander family history.
I am a 7th generation descendant of a John Kerr b.1795 who worked as a farm servant from 1825 at Prestonhall.
This fact was uncovered by another family researcher, Philip Rankin, on a research trip some decades ago.
Apparently John Kerr lived with his wife Janet (nee Ramage) and their six boys in a toll house on one of the roads through the estate (no longer standing).
The family emigrated to Nelson, NZ in 1842 and has hundreds of descendants. The Midlothian area is Kerr country, but it has been hard to pinpoint the direct family line.
Perhaps you could help in my search? Are there any records of Prestonhall employees? Any information you have from the period he was working there (1824-1842) would be much appreciated.
Warm regards,
Pam Templeton
Hi Pam
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment and interesting information. I'm afraid I can't really help, as I don't have access to the relevant records. You could try the Census of 1841, or the Old Church Parochial records for the relevant period (1824-1842). I suggest you contact Scotland's People - http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/.
Best wishes and good luck with your research. I need to do some more myself.
Jim
