Lady Maria Nugent on HopeOctober 1st 1801 About 10 we drove to the Hope estate.1[1] We took a cross road, through a sugar plantation, or rather cane-piece, as it is called; a negro man running before the carriage, to open the gates. The Hope estate is very interesting for me, as belonging to dearest Lady Temple,2[2] and I examined every thing very particularly. It is situated at the bottom of a mountain, and as the Hope river runs through it, the produce is more certain than on estates in general, which often suffer from the great droughts in this part of the world. A severe hurricane alone can affect it. It is said to be an old estate, and not further improveable than yielding, as it does now, 320 hogsheads of sugar.—They say that, though it is incapable of yielding more, it is better, as being a sure produce, than most estates in the island, which are liable to great vicissitudes.—As you enter the gates, there is along range of negro houses, like thatched cottages, and a row of cocoa-nut trees and clumps of cotton trees. The sugarhouse, and all the buildings, are thought to be more than usually good, and well taken care of. The overseer, a civil, vulgar, Scotch officer, on half-pay, did the honours to us ; but, when we got to the door of the distillery, the smell of the rum was so intolerable, that, after a little peep at the process, I left the gentlemen, and went to the overseer's house, about a hundred yards off. I talked to the black, women, who told me all their histories. The overseer's chere amie, and no man here is without one, is a tall black woman, well made, with a very flat nose, thick lips, and a skin of ebony, highly polished and shining. She shewed me her three yellow children, and said, with some ostentation, she should soon have another. The marked attention of the other women, plainly proved her to be the favourite Sultana of this vulgar, ugly, Scotch Sultan, who is about fifty, clumsy, ill made, and dirty. He had a dingy, sallow-brown complexion, and only two yellow discoloured tusks, by way of teeth. However, they say he is a good overseer; so at least his brother Scotchman told me, and there is no one here to contradict him, as almost all the agents, attornies, merchants and shop-keepers, are of that country, and really do deserve to thrive in this, they are so industrious. I should mention that there is an excellent hospital on this estate, which is called a hot-house, http://www.dukesofbuckingham.org/sources/documents/huntington/st/st_111.htm A Newspaper Report of the Death of the 3rd Duke of Chandos Duke of Chandos Sept 1789 “Tuesday evening last died suddenly at Tunbridge Wells after a short but most painful illness, which he bore with the utmost fortitude & resignation the most Noble James Duke of Chandos, Marquis & Earl of Carnarvon, Viscount Wilton, Baron Chandos of Sudeley Castle, & Baronet. Lord Steward of his Majesty’s Household one of his Majesty’s most honourable Privy Council, Ranger of Enfield Chace & High Steward of the City of Winchester. His Grace’s birth was most illustrious. He was descended from the Great Sir John Chandos who made so conspicuous a figure in the Reign of King Edward the third, & was one of the Knights of the Garter at the first institution of that most noble Order, whose descendant Sir John Bruges [sic] was created by Queen Mary, Baron Chandos of Sudeley Castle, the 8th of April 1554. In 1714 on the accession of King George the 1st the Honble James Brydges (who afterwards became the 9th Lord Chandos) was created the Marquis & Earl of Carnarvon & Duke of Chandos. His Grace was maternally of Royal descent, being descended from Mary Queen Dowr of France & Daughter of Henry 7th, who afterwards married with Charles Brandon Duke of Suffolk, & through Heiresses of the great Houses of Grey, Duke of Suffolk, Seymour, Bruce & Saville to his Grace. His Mother was one of the Daughters & Co Heirs of Charles Lord Bruce afterwards Earl of Aylesbury & was the first Wife of Henry 2d Duke of Chandos, by whom she had James the last Duke, & Lady Caroline relict of James Leigh Esq of Adlestrop in Gloucestershire. His Grace was born the 27th of December 1731 and at the General Elections in 1754 & 1761 he was elected Knight of the Shire for Radnorshire. On the accession of his present Majesty he was appointed one of the Lords of his Majesty’s Bed Chamber, which he resigned in 1764 & in 1784 he was appointed Lord Steward of his Majesty’s Household. Such were his honours & his high descent, to which his private virtues added a still greater lustre. Fervent & unfeigned in his devotion, his charity & benevolence were unbounded; in his principles he was loyal, moderate, & firm & in his friendships had the warmest heart!” Sir R.R. Bart.

< Engraving of Staunton Harold Hall about 1740 http://www.shirleyassociation.com/NewShirleySite/NonMembers/England/stauntonharold.html The first house at Staunton was built by Sir William de Staunton in 1324 and became the home of the Shirley family in 1423 when Sir Ralph Shirley married Margaret de Staunton. She was the heiress of her family's estate. The present Palladian-style Hall was built in the 18th century by Washington Shirley, the 5th Earl Ferrers

A Philosopher giving a Lecture on the Orrery The 5th Earl Ferrers paid £210 for The Orrery in 1766 [the equivalent of £19,824.98 in 2006] A Philosopher giving that lecture on the Orrery, in which a lamp is put in place of the Sun (normally known by the shortened form A Philosopher Giving a Lecture on the Orrery or just The Orrery) caused a great stir, as it replaced the Classical subject at the centre of the scene with one of a scientific nature. The Orrery was painted without a commission, probably with the expectation that it would be bought by Earl Ferrers, an amateur astronomer who had an orrery of his own, and with whom the painter Joseph Wright's friend, Peter Perez Burdett, was staying while in Derbyshire. Ferrers did purchase the painting and it is now held by Derby Museum and Art Gallery
