E A Bowles of Myddelton House Society, Enfield. 'E A Bowles' Edward Augustus Bowles "Gussie" to his friends was one of the 20th century's great gardeners.
He was born at Myddelton House in Enfield on 14th May 1865, the youngest of three sons. A sickly child, he was educated at home by the local vicar from whom he drew inspiration for a career as a priest. As a child he was a very keen natural historian and gardener and later whilst studying at Cambridge for the priesthood he joined the Cambridge Entomological Society. It was in 1887 whilst completing his BA that tragedy struck the Bowles family, his brother and sister dying of consumption. He was a self-taught gardener, botanist, botanical artist, and garden writer as well as plant hunter. Bowles joined the Royal Horticultural Society in 1897 and purchased life membership for £26.
Many strange, rare and difficult plants were successfully grown at Myddelton House and people came from far and wide to admire them. My Garden in Spring. Biographies of E A Bowles: Allan, Mea. Top. E A Bowles of Myddelton House Society, Enfield. Gertrude Jekyll. Hestercombe Gardens Early life[edit] Jekyll was born at 2 Grafton Street, Mayfair, London, the fifth of the seven children of Captain Edward Joseph Hill Jekyll, an officer in the Grenadier Guards, and his wife Julia Hammersley.
Her younger brother, the Reverend Walter Jekyll, was a friend of Robert Louis Stevenson, who borrowed the family name for his famous novella Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. In 1848 her family left London and moved to Bramley House, Surrey, where she spent her formative years. Themes[edit] Jekyll is remembered for her outstanding designs and subtle, painterly approach to the arrangement of the gardens she created, particularly her "hardy flower borders".[4] Her work is known for its radiant colour and the brush-like strokes of her plantings; it is suggested by some that the Impressionistic-style schemes may have been due to Jekyll's deteriorating eyesight, which largely put an end to her career as a painter and watercolourist.

And Norfolk Crocosmia Heritage Terry Bane, Bradley Simmonds and The Friends of Norwich in Bloom started to develop the Norfolk Heritage Crocosmia collection in 2003 when David and Colleen Fenwick from Plymouth visited Norwich to donate corms and help plant up the Noverre garden at The Assembly House with volunteers.
David and Colleen packed their car with around 53 species and Cultivars and in total about 1,000 corms for the project just managing to squeeze some luggage and their selves in as well. The Fenwick's brought two pots of very special Crocosmia hybrids with them recently named David Fitt, these hybrids were bred and raised from seed by David Fenwick and named after David Fitt son of Jack Fitt who was the only member of the Fitt family not to have a Crocosmia hybrid named after him by his father Jack, Norwich is greatly honoured to have one of the very first David Fitt hybrids planted in the heritage garden.

Background and education[edit] Early career[edit] Beauchamp succeeded his father in the earldom in 1891 at the age of 18, and was mayor of Worcester between 1895 and 1896.[1] A progressive in his ideas, he was surprised to be offered the post of Governor of New South Wales in May 1899.
Though he was good at the job, and enjoyed the company of local artists and writers, he was unpopular in the colony due to a series of gaffes and misunderstandings, most notably over his reference to the 'birthstain' of Australia's convict origins.[2] His open association with the high church and Anglo-Catholicism caused increased perturbation in the Evangelical Council.[2] In Sydney, William Carr Smith, rector of St James' Church was his chaplain.[4] Beauchamp returned to Britain in 1900, saying that his duties had failed to stimulate him. Political career[edit] Other public appointments[edit] Admiralty House, London. Admiralty House in London is a Grade I listed[2] building facing Whitehall, currently used for UK government functions and as ministerial flats.
It was opened in 1788 and until 1964 was the official residence of the First Lords of the Admiralty. Description[edit] Admiralty. The Admiralty was the authority responsible for the command of the Royal Navy in the Kingdom of England, and later in Great Britain and until 1964 in the United Kingdom. Originally exercised by a single person, the Lord High Admiral, the Admiralty was from the early 18th century onwards almost invariably put "in commission" and exercised by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, who sat on the Board of Admiralty. The title of Lord High Admiral of the United Kingdom was vested in the Sovereign from 1964 to 2011. The title was awarded to The Duke of Edinburgh by the Queen on his 90th birthday.[1] There also continues to be a Vice-Admiral of the United Kingdom and a Rear-Admiral of the United Kingdom, both of which are honorary offices.
Function and organisation[edit] History[edit]
Grillion's. The first fifty years of the Grillion's Club is recorded in the book Grillion's Club: From Its Origin In 1812 To Its Fiftieth Anniversary, written quoting many of the club's records by Sir Philip De Malpas Grey Egerton. The book was privately printed at the Chiswick Press in 1880. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, many leading statesmen belonged to the club, including prime ministers Gladstone, Salisbury, Balfour, Asquith, and Baldwin.[1] ^ Jump up to: a b H.H. Asquith (1928). Memories and Reflections. pp. 262–274. Lady Ottoline Morrell. Early life[edit] Born Ottoline Violet Anne Cavendish-Bentinck, she was the daughter of Lieutenant-General Arthur Cavendish-Bentinck (son of Lord and Lady Charles Bentinck) and his second wife, the former Augusta Browne, later created Baroness Bolsover.
Lady Ottoline's great-great-uncle (through her paternal grandmother, Lady Anne Wellesley) was Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington. Janus: Papers of Edwin Samuel Montagu (1879-1924), politician, and related papers, Part 2. Edwin Samuel Montagu (1879-1924) reached the pinnacle of his political career as Secretary of State for India, a position he held from 1917 to 1922, and is best known for his contribution to the cause of constitutional reform in that country. However, since the publication of letters revealing the affair between H. H. Asquith and Venetia Stanley, Montagu's own relationship with Venetia-whom he married in 1915-has also become the subject of some interest.
