Is this William Wood of Nabbs as mentioned in The History of the Parish of Silkstone" by Rev. Joseph F. Prince (1922)? - see note below:

"Nabbs is a very interesting old house., and well worthy of a visit of the antiquary. It is situate near Silkstone Station....Mr Percival Johnson tells me this is the third residence built on the same site. The oldest date is now descernible over the stable door, viz., 1644 and on the barn adjoining, R.S. 1653. This is the same Robert Swift who held charters, tithes and leases from Queen Elizabeth and James I. Over the malting-house the initials of William and Elizabeth Wood appear -"W. / W.E. 1658".

On the front of the house there are some lead pipes of beautiful shape and workmanship, and on the left of the porch in raised figures, "E.W. & W.W. 1662"; on the right "E.W. and W.W. 1666; over the porch "W.W. 1666". This Mr. Wood was an old resident and worked Wortley Forge. These Swifts, Woods and Butterworths were the ancestors of the present owner." (Mr. P.

“Not far from here are placed_the sacred ashes of William Wood of Nabbs, Gent,_who was a faithful subject of the King,_an orthodox son of the Anglican Church,_dear to his relatives, Boni omnib Febitus,_he departed this life on the 21st July, 1682, aged 71 years”

On Sunday 5th May we rode over to Silkstone and noticed, for the first time, the name of a road which we have travelled regularly, “Knabbs Road”. On Knabbs Road, as marked on the ordnance survey map we came across Knabbs Hall Farm.

On the map the farm was named in Olde English script which means it has some historic interest and we were not disappointed. It was a very old building with an intricate shield and a date that read either 1614, 1624 or 1674. Which of these was not clear without stopping and staring and, as we were going to ask a favour of unknown occupants we did not wish to do that.

It was clearly an ancient building that was now a working farm and not the gentrified 1500/1600’s building that you would get if it had been purchased by English Heritage or the National Trust and “restored”. We spoke to the owner about the history of the building and the whereabouts of any old deeds. He wasn’t able to help us and suggested that we speak to his father who may know more than he did. He gave us the telephone number and suggested we phone him the following day - which we did.

In fact his wife answered and had no knowledge of the whereabouts of the deeds (or even the age of the house). We later spoke to the churchwarden of Silkstone Church who knew these people and said that they are purely farmers and do not welcome visitors. He told us that the outbuildings are older than the main house and are thought to date from the late 1500’s.

"The History of the Parish of Silkstone" by Joseph F. Prince (1922) - "In the year 1500 Chief Rent was paid to Robert Swift, of Nabbes, termed Nammes Rental, by the Following: Robert Swift, Robert Greaves, Robert Couldwell, Robert Greene, John Townend, Jarves Wordsworthe, James Downinge, Ffrancis Woodruffe, Richard Hawlie, William Horton, Edward -----, John Aston."

"The first record of minerals being worked at Silkstone was an Indenture made 4 James I, 1607, between ---Sawyer and Roger Elmhirst, of London, gent., on the one part, and Robert Swift and Robert Greaves, both fo Silkstone, in which iron mills were leased with power to work and dig ironstone and coal. That a John Swift resided there in 1426 is proved by a document relating to the lease for 21 years of Silkstone Old Hall and Silkstone Fall Wood. These men worked coal in teh township and smelted iron, and we find in the township fields called Coal Pit Close, Iron Pitts, which record ancient workings."

"The following is a copy of Mr. Wm. Wood's tablet in in the chancel - (of the Stainborough Chapel) -

Non procul abhinc sacros depsuit cineres Gulielmus Wood de Nabbs, gen. qui regi fidelis, ecclesiae Ang. filius othodoxus cognatis charus, bonis omnib. febilis e vita decessit 21 die Julii aetatis suae 71 anno Dom. 1682." Elizabeth? .

Hickleton is one of the small villages north of Doncaster, which are situated on the limestone ridge. Hickleton lies about 6 miles west from Doncaster on the main road to Barnsley. Called Chiceltone at the time of the Conquest, it has connections with the manor of Barnard castle. In Roman times it stood an old Roman road from Streethouses to Pontefract, and once boasted a castle on the hill at the north side of the village. The castle has long since vanished but it was recorded by the 17th century antiquary Roger Dodsworth. In the 18th century drovers regularly passed through on their way to Wakefield and Rotherham, and occasionally held cattle fair in the village

Like its neighbours, Brodsworth, Hooton Pagnell, Owston and Sprotbrough, it was an ‘estate’ village, dominated by a single landowner living in the village itself. In the 16th century the village included the splendid Hickleton Palace which was occupied in the reign of Elizabeth 1 by one Judge Rodes. Hickleton Hall, a splendid eighteenth-century house, was built between 1745 and 1748 and to the south of the Palace (only the dovecote and part of the curtain walls with mullion windows are still visible) for Godfey Wentworth by James Paine, the architect of a number of local projects, including Cusworth Hall (in part), Nostell Priory, Sandbeck Hall, Wadworth Hall and Doncaster’s municipal Mansion House. Hickleton Hall’s most distinguished owners, the Wood family, did not acquire the house and estate until 1828, when Sir Fancis Lindley Wood of Hemsworth and Garaby purchased the property from the Wentworths of Woolley.

Sir Francis’ son, Charles (1800-1885), was a prominent figure in parliamentary politics from the 1840s to the 1870s. Successively chancellor of the exchequer, first lord of the admiralty, secretary of state for India and finally lord privy seal, he was created first lord Halifax in 1866. The political career of his grandson was even more notable, including periods as viceroy of India and British ambassador to the USA, but culminating in his appointment as foreign secretary in Neville Chamberlain’s government from 1937 to 1940, and so making him a major figure in the history of the appeasement of Nazi Germany in the 1930s. He was King George VI’s preferred choice as Prime Minister in 1940.In between these two politicians is the figure of the second Lord Halifax, a prominent member of the Church of England, and the builder of the remarkable parish church at Goldthorpe.

This pioneering reinforced-concrete construction of 1916, was provided by Lord Halifax to serve the mining community which came into being on the opening of Hickleton Main colliery, from which he drew a substantial income as the owner of the mining royalties.The landscape of South Yorkshire, blighted by coal mining, was no more to the taste of the Halifax family than that of other local gentry families. The Halifaxs preferred their estate at Garrowby to Hickleton and, in 1947, decided to sell the contents of the house and lease the premises to a girl’s school. In 1961, Hickleton Hall became a Sue Ryder Home.

The church dedicated to St Wilfred, has a Norman chancel arch and font and is believed to have been begun in the 12th century, although much of today’s building is 15th century. It was a daughter church of Barnburgh and once belonged to the Cluniac Priory of Monk Breton, the second largest monastery in South Yorkshire. Its earliest rector was William de Braithwell who was presented in 1279. There was no vicarage, the monks engaging a curate for £4 per annum to perform parish duties. The church, lavishly furnished by the Halifaxs, is situated very close to the Hall. It was considerably restored at the expense of the second viscount Halifax by G. F. Bodley a pupil of Sir Gilbert Scot, the architect of Westminster Cathedral.Sir Francis Lindley Wood rebuilt the homes of his village tenants in the 1840s in the vernacular style of the Elizabethan and Stuart age, with magnesium limestone and pantile roofs.

Local historian John Tunney describes it as “one of the best examples of 18th century estate villages to be seen anywhere, in a superb location on the edge of a limestone plateau above the Deanne Valley”Hickleton Colliery was sunk in 1893, is not in Hickleton but in nearby Thurnscoe, where its miners also lived. The village today has about 100 houses, many of which have been converted from redundant barns, stables and coach houses into private dwellings.According to Whites Directory of 1837, Hickleton had 154 inhabitants including a mason, a wheelwright, a shoemaker, a blacksmith, a schoolmistress and four farmers.

Francis married Anne Buck daughter of Samuel Buck on 15 Jan 1798 in St. Peters, Leeds, Yorkshire, England. Anne was born in 1780. She died on 11 Jan 1841.

iii. Francis Samuel Wood was born on 1 Aug 1809 in Hemsworth, nr. Wakefield, West Riding of Yorkshire, England. He was christened on 12 Sep 1809 in Hemsworth, nr. Wakefield, West Riding of Yorkshire, England. He died on 22 Apr 1843.

111. John Wood (George, John, John, John, George, George, John) was born on 25 Mar 1752. He died on 2 Mar 1829 in St. Mary's, Cambden Co. Georgia, U.S.A..

A second son, John, among the vicar's sons emigrated to America, and became a merchant in East Florida. The day before his departure from Roystone he planted a tree in the grounds adjoining the vicarage, but now (1883) forming part of the churchyard, which is still growing the. He settled in America and had a son George, who came to England, and whom Baron Wood, his uncle, sent to Cambridge University, and would have adopted, but he shortened his days by dissipation. John Wood married a daughter of Mr. Johnson, of Savannah, in Georgia, and also had a daughter, who married a Mr. Pratt, some of whose descendants are still living in America.

Georgia LoyalistsGeorgia Revolutionists were fierce in keeping the British at bay in Georgia. My 4th great-grandfather, Capt. John Cutler Braddock, as a galley commander was one of the fiercest. There were many other Georgians, however, who, by dictate of conscience, chose to remain Loyal to the Crown. You may be surprised to learn that Benjamin Franklin's son was a staunch Loyalist.

They paid dearly for their loyalty. On August 19, 1783, the Assembly of the State of Georgia passed an Act of Attainder, Banishments and Confistication that took from all known Loyalists, property they held in Georgia and banished them from the state. Most fled to the British province of East Florida and from there to England and to British held islands in the Caribbean, primarily the Bahamas. Notice of the Act was published in the Georgia Gazette followed by a list of 225 names of Georgia Loyalists. The list included the last Royal Governor of Georgia, Sir James Wright, Lt. Gov. John Graham, and members of their council along with all other officials of the displaced government.

Many on the list went on to become successful leaders in their places of exile. One such man was William Lyford Jr., uncle to the aforesaid John Cutler Braddock. He received several large grants in the Bahamas for his service to British naval operations in the Southeast and for being one of the planners and participants of Col. Andrew DeVeaux's famous raid that drove the Spanish from Nassau in 1783.

The exclusive residential resort Lyford Cay, home of international best-selling author Arthur Hailey and actor Sean Connery, is located on one of the Grants. List of Loyalists Banished from Georgia-1783The Assembly of the State of Georgia published a list of men banished from the state in the Savannah newspaper, now back to its old name—the Georgia Gazette. The notorious McGirt brothers, who appear in many accounts of Revolutionary War action in the South as being instrumental in thwarting Georgian and Continental attempts to invade Florida—some accounts spelling it McGirth—are on the list. Strangely, some few on it were on lists published earlier by the British: GEORGIA, House of Assembly, 15th July, 1783ORDERED, That his Honour the Governor and Council be recommended andrequested to transmit to the Executive and Legislative Powers or epartments,in every State on the United States, a List of Persons named in their Laws sothat, by this correspondence, each State may know, or be informed from Timeto Time, what is done by each State relative to those Persons so proscribed.(Signed) JOHN WILKINSON, Clk.

WOOD, JOHN, aged 89, resided in Jackson County, June 1, 1840, with Thomas Campbell. Census of Pensioners, 1841, p. 148. NOTE: Although the dates are O.K. this may not be him, as he apparently died in 1829 in Georgia.

The Clifton Great House, situated on a high ridge with a clear view of the sea as well as the Slave Settlement and other plantation buildings, was built in 1785 by planter John Wood. The style of the house, as well as the yard and buildings surrounding it, is English, by way of Savannah, Georgia. The building was made of cut stone, cemented by lime mortar and covered with lime plaster; it had a basement, a main floor about six feet above the ground, and an attic, probably with dormer windows. There were two large rooms on the main floor with a central hall opening on front and rear porches.

The kitchen behind the house was detached to keep the fire and heat away from the main house. John Wood left the Bahamas in 1802. Wood’s land along with three adjacent plantations totaling more than 1000 acres, was acquired by William Wylly, whose family had previously owned a plantation in Savannah named Clifton. Wylly and his family lived there until the 1820s. The house passed through several later owners before a field fire in 1851 burned it to the ground. The architect’s reconstruction shows how the house probably appeared, and what portion is left today.

Throughout the Caribbean, and on the Atlantic coast of America, plantations were the engines of production for the colonial empires of Europe. Successful and wealthy planters participated in a global economy, exporting cotton, sugar, indigo and other valuable products in exchange for manufactured goods. To accommodate Loyalists no longer welcome in the new United States, the British Crown offered grants of land in other colonies, including the Bahamas, and many planters relocated. The plantation at Clifton was established in 1785 by John Wood of Savannah, Georgia. Some of Wood’s relatives and business partners, like Lewis Johnston, Thomas Ross and William Lyford, received adjacent grants. Clifton Plantation, acquired and improved by William Wylly, is formally organized with the Great House commanding a high elevation at the center of a large, square yard enclosed by stone walls. Behind the house were the kitchen and well; in front were the stable and animal pens built of stone. To the north, the Slave Settlement reflected this European pattern on the landscape with a seven cabins equally spaced along the road. Nearby at the cliffs, sailing ships found a deep harbour and a wharf where they could transfer people and cargo, connecting Clifton to other Caribbean and Atlantic ports.

John married Laleah Johnston daughter of Dr. Lewis Johnston and Laleah Peyton in Apr 1780. Laleah was born in 1760 in Chatham, Savannah Co, Georgia, America. She died on 19 Feb 1836 in St. Mary's, Cambden, Georgia.

"He is about middle height, and well made, though somewhat slender. His face is angular, his features are regular, and his complexion of a rather darkish hue. The colour of his hair is deep brown.""Sir Charles Wood met with an accident whilst hunting with Lord Hawke's hounds just before Christmas, 1865, which had well-nigh proved fatal. Sir Charles, on the occasion, was one of the foremost in the field and was in the act of leaning forward to open a gate, when his hat fell off; his horse being frightened, plunged violently, when its rider was thrown off, and fell against a stone wall. His head was injured and bled profusely, and his arm was also much hurt. e was at once removed from the field, and after comparative recovery from the shock to the system, it became necessary for his to resign the weighty and responsible office of Secretary for India.

Project Canterbury Charles Lindley, Viscount Halifax London: The Catholic Literature Association, 1933.

TO tell the life-story of the second Viscount Halifax is to narrate in broad outline the history of the Catholic revival in the Church of England during the past seventy years. During the whole of that period Lord Halifax put the movement, of which he became both the inspiration and the chief ornament, before every other claim on his time and talents. For this reason, though with no little reluctance, he laid aside the thought of emulating his father and entering into the political sphere. As recently as 1925 he alluded in public to the disappointment that he must have been to his father, who had been engaged in politics all his life, and would have liked him to follow in his footsteps.

As it is, his name will ever be remembered as one of the great names in the history of the Church of England. Lord Halifax was an outstanding example of a man born to a noble heritage in this world, with its attendant responsibilities, who neglected none of it--indeed, he conferred added lustre upon it--and at the same time was dedicated throughout his long life to the service of Christ and his Church.At every turn of Church history during the sixty-five years that ended with his death, the student will encounter the figure of Lord Halifax.

During the last of the cholera epidemics in East London he will find him labouring incessantly in corporal acts of mercy, pausing but little for essential rest and bodily refreshment. In the great controversies which in these latter years have moulded the course of the Church's development in our land, Lord Halifax is to be seen a stalwart figure, unrelenting in the cause of Catholic truth and always by his grace and charity commending the Faith to those unwilling to allow its claims in worship and conduct.

The first years of the century found Lord Halifax in the prime of his spiritual and intellectual vigour. They were days when the witness of his character, knowledge and ardent zeal were invaluable. Reading again, for instance, the evidence he gave before the Royal Commission on Ecclesiastical Discipline in 1905, one cannot help being struck with the strength of his conviction. For three days he was cross-examined. He spoke his mind plainly as a Catholic layman rooted and grounded in the whole Faith. His practical wisdom was operative as always, and he told the Commission that the only remedy for the disorder which had brought their enquiry about, was a restoration of synodical action.

The Bishops must act as constitutional rulers of the flock, and not expect to exact obedience to their personal whims. During these years Lord Halifax was in the front line of the education controversy in which his life-long friend, Mr. Athelstan Riley, played so important a role. The right of the Church's children to be instructed in the Church's schools in the Church's Faith was in jeopardy. Lord Halifax threw himself into the campaign with all the passionate ardour of a crusader. By voice and pen he attacked the monstrous giant of Under nominationalism which was assailing the Church's children.EARLY ENVIRONMENTCharles Lindley Wood was born on June 7, 1839. He was the son of Sir Charles Wood, third baronet, who was raised to the peerage as Viscount Halifax of Mount Bretton in the county of York in 1866.

The second Viscount Halifax was born and brought up in the tradition of the Whig aristocracy, and nothing could have seemed more unlikely, in the light of that tradition and of the environment of his early years, than that he would grow up to be the great and venerated leader of the movement which was to spring out of the Assize sermon preached by John Keble at Oxford six years before his birth.Church life at Hickleton, the Yorkshire seat of the family, had been entirely untouched by the Tractarian Movement.

There were services in the parish church on Sundays only, and the Wood family sat in a pew with a large fireplace and red-cushioned seats all round it."My father and mother," wrote Lord Halifax, "sat in the two corners on each side of the fire, and the fire was always poked at the end of the Litany. Holy Communion was celebrated four times a year, and no one in the village, except two or three old people and the parish clerk, ever thought of communicating. Lent, Holy Week, Ascension Day, and the Saints' Days were entirely ignored."Yet even in 1852 there were relics of a better order, and an earnest, surely, of what was to come.

"The church bells always rang at eight o'clock on Sundays, though there had not been Mattins or Mass at that hour in the memory of man. On Shrove Tuesday the old shriving bell was rung at twelve o'clock, though no one knew why, or dreamt of such a thing as confession. "A like state of things pervaded the Royal Chapel at Whitehall, where, while his father was Chancellor of the Exchequer, the family worshipped on Sunday mornings in London. "Speculation as to which of the gods and goddesses it was who were surrounding James the First in his apotheosis, painted by Rubens on the ceiling," was the subject which "chiefly absorbed my sister and myself in our retirement at the bottom of the pew during the Litany," he recalled in old age.

Two of his uncles, however, Canon the Hon. John Grey, who lived to be eighty-eight, and Canon the Hon. Francis Richard Grey, who lived to be eighty-seven, were devoted adherents of the Tractarian cause. On his father's side, also, there was his uncle, Samuel Francis Wood, who was at Eton with Gladstone and at Oxford with Newman, to whom he formed a close attachment.

In 1852 young Wood went to Eton, and won great popularity among both masters and boys. His tutor was the renowned William Johnson, who prophesied a great future for his pupil, who at school distinguished himself by winning the Albert Prize presented by the Prince Consort for French. At Eton he was confirmed, and he used to relate how Bishop Wilberforce, with white kid gloves on his hands, approached the pew where he was kneeling and laid his fingers, thus gloved, gingerly on his head.

Despite the lingering Hanoverianism of that method of administration of the rite, and of his sole preparation being to copy out into a notebook certain devotional passages and hymns, and of being told that it would be more of a disgrace to be whipped after he had been confirmed than it would have been before, Lord Halifax stated only a few years before his death that he did not think his religious beliefs had changed since he was thus confirmed, more than seventy years before.While still a boy, Wood was brought into intimate association with the then Prince of Wales, with whom he was afterwards to take service as Groom of the Bedchamber.

The Prince Consort had so far modified his conception of the exclusiveness proper to the Heir Apparent as to invite a few boys of noble lineage to play with the young Prince at Buckingham Palace. Young Charles Wood was among those thus selected, and when at Eton he was likewise invited to Windsor, though always their games and companionship were under the vigilant eye of the Prince Consort. Subsequently Wood was of the small party that toured the Lake District with the Prince, and afterwards went on a Continental tour with him. At Oxford the association was continued, and there is no doubt that the Prince of Wales held Wood in the highest esteem.

The story has more than once been told of how he said: "If ever I take to religion, it will be Charlie Wood's religion." Very many years later, when Lord Halifax entered the death-chamber of King Edward, he saw lying at his bedside a book of devotion--The Treasury of Devotion--which he had given him as a Coronation gift.The association with the Prince of Wales, so far as official connexion was concerned, was broken as the result of the passing of the Public Worship Regulation Act in 1874. Six years before Wood had been elected to succeed Colin Lindsay as president of the newly-formed English Church Union, and the new Act of Parliament came as a challenge, and much against the Prince's desire Wood insisted on being entirely free.

His own account of the occurrence, written in 1925, was as follows: " Certain people in high places objected to my remaining in the Prince of Wales's household, in which I had been since his marriage. The Prince refused to accept my resignation, which I was more than ready to give; but I did not wish to compromise him in any way, so I insisted, and we parted the best of friends." That act of separation was the beginning of the long life of sacrifice by which Lord Halifax denied himself so much of those things to which his position, to say nothing of his charm and great ability, would naturally have entitled him.

Wood was only twenty-nine when he was elected president of the English Church Union, but so sound was the choice that for more than fifty years he continued to be elected to the position. It gave him an admirable platform for the expression of his views on the ecclesiastical and religious affairs of the day, and gave him also authority which crowned, as it were, his brilliant gifts of leadership. With the growing membership of the English Church Union he stood for the principle of the inherent Catholicity of the Church of England, and of the fullness of sacramental belief and teaching.

At the end of his days he could look around and see that almost everything for which he and his friends then contended had become, if the term is not inappropriate, a commonplace in every town and country district in the kingdom.In the year that Wood became president of the English Church Union the attack on Catholic ceremonial was launched with persistent determination against Alexander Heriot Mackonochie, vicar of St. Alban's, Holborn. Though Sir Robert Phillimore in the Court of Arches had decided mainly in Mackonochie's favour, he was overruled by the Court of Appeal. The position was that Mackonochie refused to recognise the jurisdiction of the Privy Council in spiritual matters and ignored its ruling. In consequence he was suspended for three months. Meanwhile other so-called Ritual cases were coming before the courts, and the wisdom of the young president of the E.C.U. was thus early put to the test in the guidance he gave to the Catholic party.

More insidious than the legal proceedings was the almost fanatical eagerness of Queen Victoria, supported to no small extent by the two Archbishops, Tait and Thomson, to crush the Catholic revival by the use of the secular arm of the State. There was no pretence that the Public Worship

Regulation Act was not aimed at the suppression of the Catholic party. Disraeli said as much in the House of Commons when he openly avowed that it was framed "to put down ritualism." The disapproval of Convocation was ignored and the new Act was widely acclaimed as a powerful weapon in the cause of No-Popery. In repudiating the new Act which substituted the authority

of the secular court for that of the courts spiritual the E.C.U. expressed the indignation of thousands of churchmen who enlisted selves in its ranks. Under the provisions of the Act a number of the clergy were sent to jail, and the very nice question arose as to whether the Union should support the persecuted priests by defending thm in courts the jurisdiction of which it repudiated.

Mr. Wood decided that it should, on the ground that otherwise the Catholic cause would go by default. Thus, in the first years of his presidency, Mr. Wood was in the forefront of a defensive battle. Very wisely, however, he led the Union to formulate certain positive aims. At the annual meeting in June 1875 he commended the adoption of the familiar "six points." The present generation may like to be reminded that they consisted in the eastward position, Eucharistic vestments, altar lights, the mixed chalice, unleavened bread, and incense.Wood's father was still alive in the early days of his son's leadership of the Anglo-Catholic party, and there is no doubt that he was distressed by it.

He had, in fact, been one of the supporters of the Public Worship Regulation Bill. It was, however, a great happiness to Lord Halifax that in the end his father, whom he venerated above all men, came shortly before his death to think that his son had acted wisely and rightly. That his father should thus change his attitude was remarkable in one of the old-fashioned Protestant habit of mind, loyal by nature to inherited tradition and intolerant of change. As it was, he made confession to a priest on his death-bed. In 1886, the year after his father's death, Lord Halifax was appointed an Ecclesiastical commissioner.

There could have been no more striking testimony to the success of the movement with which he was identified than this public recognition of his position in the Church of England. But if ceremonial controversy, so far as it related to the main principles at stake, was over, other controversies no less distracting and decisive were about to arise. The famous volume of essays entitled Lux Mundi, published in 1889, precipitated a new crisis. Among the contributors were Charles Gore and several others of the Catholic party.

Their views, now for the most part fully accepted, if not old-fashioned, were regarded by the more orthodox as highly subversive, and Canon Liddon in particular, Lord Halifax's great friend from Oxford days, was greatly alarmed. The book is said indeed to have hastened his death. Thanks largely to Lord Halifax's sound judgment and the excellent sense of proportion which he brought to bear with great calmness when passions were fevered, the controversy abated without serious harm done.

For a great number of years Lord Halifax devoted himself to the cause of the reunion of Christendom. He was mainly instrumental in reopening with Rome the question of Anglican Orders. For that purpose he made at least two visits to Rome in order to have audiences with the Pope and discuss the reunion of the different parts of the Catholic Church. In 1911 extracts were published from the diaries kept by Abbot Gasquet and Mr. Lacey, afterwards

Canon of Worcester, during the sittings of the Commission appointed by the Vatican in 1896 to Orders; and in 1912 Lord Halifax wrote a bulky volume entitled Leo XIII. and Anglican Orders, giving a full history of the events which led up to the appointment of the Commission. Like all Lord Halifax's writings, the book was thoroughly frank and straightforward. No one could read it without being impressed by his industry, his zeal, and his truly Christian desire to promote the unity of the Church. It was the history of a movement which failed.

The crucial moment, Lord Halifax thought, was that when the AbbéPortal brought to England a letter written to him by Cardinal Rampolla, the Papal Secretary of State, in response to his solicitations for a direct letter from the Pope to the English Archbishops. Of this letter the AbbéPortal and Lord Halifax desired Dr. Benson, Archbishop of Canterbury, to express his favourable opinion, and thus pave the way to further negotiations. But Dr. Benson felt that it was impossible for him to do so, on the ground that Cardinal Rampolla's letter contained expressions which were inconsistent with the primitive model to which England appeals. Lord Halifax considered that the Archbishop threw away a great opportunity.

That, however, was not the view taken by the public. In 1923 Lord Halifax published a full account of his visit to Paris in 1896, when his hopes were raised by the sympathetic talks he had with high ecclesiastics. In the previous year Mgr. Duchesne had written to the Rev. T. A. Lacey telling him that his arguments in favour of Anglican Orders were "incontestable" and also that Mgr. Gasparri, afterwards Cardinal Secretary of State, had been converted to Lacey's view.Alas! nothing came of all their hopes. The Roman Catholics in England took alarm and were successful in preventing the Vatican pronouncing favourably.

Lord Halifax was bitterly disappointed by the publication of the Bull Apostolicæ Curæ in 1890, which pronounced against the validity of Anglican Orders, but he showed no bitterness at the way in which his efforts had been misrepresented. He longed for the reunion of Christendom with all his soul, and his efforts at the Vatican sprang from his belief that a better understanding between the severed branches of the Church could be brought about by such discussions as he initiated.

To the end of his life he laboured in the same cause, and was a leading member of the party of Roman and Anglican theologians which assembled between 1921 and 1925 at Malines on the invitation of the late Cardinal Mercier. In 1930 he published the original documents relating to the Malines Conversations. He had not, however, neglected his own fellow-churchmen of the Evangelical school, and few things were more touching than his public and private intercourse with them.In June 1927, when in his eighty-ninth year, Lord Halifax addressed a vast gathering in the Royal Albert Hall in the course of the Anglo-Catholic Congress then being held.

At the appearance of his graceful and venerable figure the whole assembly rose to its feet, and it was some minutes before the aged leader could begin to speak. It was a most affecting scene, for almost all present felt that they were listening for the last time to the voice of one of the most revered and saintly sons of the Church of England.

Lord Halifax took small part in affairs which did not touch the Church, but some of his speeches in the House of Lords on Imperial matters are well remembered, especially that on the resolution of thanks to Lord Milner at the end of his tenure of office in South Africa, and his defence of him just after a bitter attack in the House of Commons. He was naturally a staunch upholder of the sanctity of marriage, and used his vote and voice in Parliament to resist all assaults upon it.One of his last appearances in Parliament, in 1920, was the occasion of a pathetic and moving scene. He was opposing the Matrimonial Causes Bill introduced by Lord Buck-master to facilitate divorce. Presently he paused.

There was complete silence in the Chamber as with strained anxiety the House waited for him to proceed. Then he begged forgiveness, and explained that he had been ill and must end his speech. His concluding words were: "I shall probably never address this House again--the sands of my life are running low---but what I have said comes from my heart. I do urge your lordships to consider the real welfare of the people of England in this matter."

The scene recalled that other historic incident in Parliament when the elder Pitt uttered his dying words in the House of Lords. He had come down to the House to tell the Government that they were provoking the American colonists to rebellion. As he spoke he fell. Lord Halifax was, however, to intervene in debate once more, and this he did in 1927 to speak against the ill-fated Prayer Book Measure.

Lord Halifax possessed an enchanting personality, and all who came in contact with him were drawn irresistibly to him. His every action was illumined by qualities of heart and mind which won him the love of men of most opposed tradition and diverse station. He had not only charm of manner, sweetness of character, and passionate sincerity of purpose, but he was possessed also of a physical grace which he retained to the very last.

Though frail of figure in these latter days, somewhat small of stature, and, towards the end, of imperfect sight and hearing, he had the look, at a short distance, of a young and lithe man. The force of his intellect was unabated. As a host he was the very pink of courtesy, retaining those manners of an earlier age which have all but suffered extinction. It was his habit, for example, to the very last, himself to conduct a caller to the door of his house in Eaton Square, and to stand at the open door until his visitor had passed out of sight. Of his private life it is not easy to write, for his intimacies were so completely woven with his religious life.

It may not, however, be out of place to record that, except during his illness, it was his habit both at Hickleton and in London to attend the service of Holy Communion every morning at an early hour. In London he resorted to St. Mary's, Graham Street, where he was a churchwarden. At Hickleton the beautiful parish church, on which he lavished gifts, was within his own park.

As has been said, his friendships were with men of every sort, and he never seemed too old to make new friends. One of the strongest attachments of his life was that to Cardinal Mercier, who on his death-bed begged Lord Halifax to come to him. Despite extremely bad wintry weather and poor health, Lord Halifax went at once, and was at the Cardinal's bedside when he died. To him the Cardinal bequeathed his episcopal ring. For the rest of his days Lord Halifax wore the ring suspended out of sight by a chain about his neck.

Lord Halifax, himself of an ancient Yorkshire family, and a descendant on his mother's side of Lady Jane Grey, was married in 1869 to Lady Agnes Courtenay, daughter of the eleventh Earl of Devon, and the marriage was a notable event of the London season of that year. Lady Halifax died in 1919, the year in which with great rejoicings her golden wedding anniversary was celebrated at Hickleton. There were six children of the marriage, four sons and two daughters. Three of the sons died in early youth, and Lord Halifax was succeeded by his fourth son, who was raised to the peerage as Lord Irwin on his appointment in 1925 to the Viceroyalty of India.

The present viscount was married in 1909 to Lady Dorothy Onslow, younger daughter of the fourth Earl of Onslow.Hickleton Hall, the family seat, stands on an eminence between Barnsley and Doncaster. It overlooks hills and dales for miles, and many of the trees are of great age and size. Away in the valley ascending smoke tells of the encroachment of industry, to which the great Lord Halifax himself contributed by the enterprise which he infused into the Hickleton Main Colliery, from which much of the family fortune is derived.

The hall, which is famous for its house-parties in Doncaster Race Week, is full of treasures, and the parish church at the park gates is enriched with every beautiful adjunct which could rightly be brought to the Church's worship. In the churchyard there is a life-size Calvary, coloured after the fashion of those in Brittany and Spain, which Lord Halifax erected some years ago.

Pride of family had its due place in Lord Halifax's life. He greatly loved the many fine pictures of his ancestors which hang in the hall, and in the little parish church are the tattered banners which testify to the valour of his Yorkshire forbears on the field of battle.Charles married Lady Agnes Elizabeth Courtenay daughter of William Reginald Courtenay and Lady Elizabeth Fortesque on 22 Apr 1869.

The early history of Brierley Hall and Lindley House is hard to trace. Architectural evidence indicates that the buildings are likely to have a mid eighteenth century Georgian date. The windows, and some interior features also suggest an early date.

There is a date stone set into the north west wall of Lindley House with the initials L E F and a date of 1730. The initials are those of Edmund & Frances Lindley, they lived in their new home in Brierley with their son George. Edmund died there just before 1739. On the 1655 Brierley Manor Court Roll a Mathew Lindley is named as living at Champney House Cawthorne.

Robert Hoyland brother of John Hoyland occupied Lindley House in the early 1800s. He enlarged and improved the house at that time which resulted in a mixture of building styles.

The 1655 Brierley Manor Court Roll mentions a John Hoyland of Brearley, one of a long line of Johns in the family. The surname could indicate that they came originally from one of the several villages in the area called Hoyland.
