replied on: 10/21/2008 11:57:06 PM I've got the will of Thomas HOGG who died 1877 and owned Granfield house and farm. The executors were John Godber HOGG and Hannah HOGG, spinster. I've got a lot of the tree for these HOGGs. I have also some details on PYNEGARs of Codnor and their links to WALLISs. Email me for full details. |

replied on: 4/20/2006 4:42:09 PM RIPLEY AND HEANOR NEWS OCTOBER 8TH 1897 JUBILEE GIFTS On Monday evening a crowded and enthusiastic public gathering took place in the Loscoe Baptist School, the occasion being the presentation of a massive silver cup and portrait to Mr. James Clarke, 74 years of age, who resides at Granville House, Loscoe, Mr H. R. Watson presided, and was supported on the platform by Messrs J. Wood, B. Searson, J. Hogg, W. Hogg, and E. Lockwood. The chairman, in a few appropriate remarks, set forth the object of the gathering, which, he said, was to show in a practical form their sincere respect to Mr James Clarke. They were all aware that from the very handsome donations of 130 subscribers they had, through the efforts of the members of the ladies committee, been enabled to secure a magnificent silver cup and a splendid photo of Mr Clarke, both of which were to be presented that evening to their friend, who was highly respected by every man, woman, and child in the village. (Hear, hear) He ventured to say there never had been such an enthusiastic gathering like that in Loscoe before, but it showed how his numerous kindnesses had been appreciated. (Applause) Mr W. Hogg said it puzzled him where to commence on that occasion. It was out of his reach altogether to form words to convey to their minds what deep respectful feeling there was for Mr. Clarke. He had known him right away from infancy, and when he (the speaker) was a boy six or seven years of age Mr. Clarke resided at Loscoe Grange, next removing to Loscoe, and now to his present residence, Granville House. He felt proud to be there that night as representing the Baptist Sunday School, who had empowered him to thank Mr. Clarke for his many acts of kindness shown towards their Society and school, especially in the loan of fields at the annual treats and other helps they had received from that gentleman. The speaker went on to say that he could not call to mind one single instance in which Mr. Clarke had refused them help, and trusted he would live a few more years to look upon the silver cup and his own photograph, which had been purchased through the instrumentality of the ladies committee. (Hear, hear) Mr S. Searson said he was pleased to be present on that long to be remembered occasion. He had also known Mr. Clarke from a boy, and as a man he was most generous. He (the speaker) hoped that the young people of Loscoe would learn a lesson from that gathering, and live to be of service to the district and country at large. They might not be able to do it openly, but they could always carry out the lines of the poet: Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And departing leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time. He hoped Mr. Clarke would leave footprints on the sands of time, and his children follow in his footsteps. He fails who climbs to power and place By going up the pathway of disgrace. But Mr. Clarke had climbed up the pathway of honour by being kind to all around him. (Cheers). Mr Lockwood said it afforded him great pleasure to say a few words in support of the remarks already said. He had been closely connected with Mr Clarke for 14 years, and it needed more elocution than he had to set forth his inestimable qualities. He was sure Mr. Clarke had the best wishes of every heart, and they all hoped he would live long to look upon the cup and portrait. (Cheers). Mrs H R. Watson then, on behalf of the ladies committee, presented the silver cup, which was neatly inscribed, stating that it was presented to Mr. James Clarke, sen, by his numerous friends, as a token of their respect and esteem, and also of their appreciation of his many kindly acts during his residence amongst them, October 4th 1897. Mrs Watson remarked in handing over the gifts that actions spoke louder than words. (Applause). Mr. Clarke ascending the platform to receive the gifts was the signal for hearty cheering, and with great emotion he thanked the donors for the valuable presents, which, he said, he should ever cherish to his dying day. (Applause.) During the evening a choice programme was gone through as follows: Part 1 Pianoforte solo “The Robin’s return” Miss Scriven Song “Trespassing”--------------------- Mrs. H. Shelton Recitation---------------------------------Mr Hunt Mandolin solo---------------------------Miss Farnsworth Song “To-- Bowling”------------------- Mr. Oscroft Vocal Duet “ money Matters”--------- Misses Scriven Song “The last Milestone”--------------Mr. Wright Part 2 Song “Juanita”----------------------------Mrs H. Shelton Recitation---------------------------------- Mr. Hunt Song ----------------------------------------Mr. Wright Pianoforte Duet “Waves of the Ocean” Misses Scriven Recitation “Adam and Mary”---------- Mr. Hunt Votes of thanks having been heartily tended to the performers and chairman, the enthusiastic gathering concluded with the singing of the National Anthem. |

replied on: 4/20/2006 2:46:04 PM Hello, I understand that James Clarke my great great great grandfather lived at Granfield house. I would like information about the family and any photographs if anyone has any. I understand that it was pulled down and the Loscoe Welfare? was put in its place. Also I would like to contact any relatives as I moved away from the area many years ago. Any responses would be great. |

replied on: 3/24/2003 12:42:35 PM I've posted an entry on the Pynegars section of the Family History section, regarding one John Pyneger who sold Grandfield at Loscoe in 1676 for 5 shillings. If anyone wants more information on Grandfield, let me know, as it has been the subject of 2 articles in the Local History Society newsletter, which I am currently indexing. Likewise, if anyone knows anything about Grandfield House & Farm, please add it here. |
