- BRUCE CASTLE, TOTTENHAM.
Every Old Boy of the Tottenham Grammar School is aware that the ancient Boys` School was re-endowed in the 17th Century by Sarah, Duchess of Somerset. Her benefaction was inspired by her husband, the second Lord Coleraine, who lived in Bruce Castle, situated in the parkland bordered by what is now Lordship Lane, Tottenham.His grandson and successor, Henry Hare, the third Lord Coleraine, who also lived in the Castle, was Lord of the Manor and a Governor of the School. He became an eminent Freemason and was installed as Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of England on 29th December 1727. The number of all the regular Lodges in the year 1730 attached to the Grand Lodge's second book of minutes was 25, headed by the name of the Rt Hon the Lord Coleraine. It is recorded in Masonic annals that he was a member of a Lodge which first met in 1725 at the `Blue Posts`, Devereux Court, a turning off the Strand. The Lodge transferred in 1727 to the `Swan` at Tottenham High Cross in Ware Road (now Tottenham High Road). It is probable that the petition for this Lodge was signed in the early days of January 1725. The necessary procedure for the formation of the Lodge would have taken about a fortnight and the Lodge was duly constituted on January 22nd. However no number or name was then assigned to it and it does not appear in the Engraved List for that year. Before 1750, few Lodges possessed distinguishing names but were usually known under the names of the Inns where they met. It first appears on the Engraved List of 1728 as Lodge No. 73 but was renumbered in 1729 to 38 following an order of Grand Lodge that all Lodges should be entered in order of Constitution. Lord Coleraine was Worshipful Master of this Lodge in 1731 but unfortunately the names of the Wardens are not mentioned. This Lodge still exists and is now known as Castle Lodge of Harmony No. 26 and meets at the Café Royal. Thinking back some 275 years, we can picture His Lordship leaving his Castle, walking down the lane to Ware Road, turning right, up the hill, passing the old Grammar School, of which he was a Governor, and attending his Lodge at the `Swan` at High Cross just across the road. http://www.mancuniensis.info/Chronology/Chronology1679FPX.htm 1679 Sarah, Duchess of Somerset, appoints by her will sixteen scholarships in Brazenose College, Oxford, and the same number in St. John’s College, Cambridge, and directed that the scholarships should be elected by turns for ever out of Manchester School and the free schools of Hereford and Marlborough. She was the second daughter of Sir Edward Alston, Kt. She married, firstly, George Grimston, eldest son of Sir Harbottle Grimston, of Bradfield, Essex, Bart. He died in 1655, before his father, and his widow was married to John Seymour, fourth Duke of Somerset, who died 1675. The Duchess of Somerset then married Henry Hare, the 2nd Lord Coleraine, by whom she was survived. She had no issue, and was buried in Westminster Abbey November 2, 1692. She left her property principally in charities. The residue went to her eldest sister’s grandson, the Hon. Langham Booth, son of the Earl of Warrington. (See Hibbert-Ware’s Foundations, vol. iii.) Le Neve says that she lived apart from Lord Coleraine severall years, being of a covetous humour, and left nothing to the Lord Coleraine.(7) Antiquary. Had estates at Tottenham, Middlesex. He was married three times, first to Constantia ( died 1680), daughter of Sir Richard Lucy, bart., of Broxbourne, Hertfordshire by whom he had Hugh (1668-1707) and other children, secondly to Sarah, duchess dowager of Somerset (died 1692); and thirdly, in 1696 to Elizabeth Portman (died 1732), widow of Robert Reade of Cheshunt, Hertfordshire. Some of his papers are in the Bodlean Library. See N.D.B. William Petyt was legal advisor and Steward to the Earl of Coleraine. In October 1690, William Petyt was giving evidence to a Committee of the Commons, on the 6th October he informed the Committee that ‘ on Monday he is to go out of town to keep the Lord Coleraine’s Court and cannot return until Wednesday, so prays that he may not attend until after that time’.
