Tichborne Dole
The Tichborne Dole is a traditional English festival of charity which is held in the village of Tichborne, Hampshire, during the Feast of the Annunciation. The festival is centered on the handing out of donations of flour, which have been blessed by the local parish priest, from the front of Tichborne House. The festival dates back to the 12th century (circa 1150) and was started by Lady Mabella Tichborne who, on her death bed, instructed that a donation of farm produce be made to the poor each year. Presently, the terms of the Dole stipulate that adults from the parishes of Tichborne and Cheriton are entitled to claim 1 gallon of flour, and children half a gallon each.The Tichborne Dole Historic UK (2007-07-28)Legacies - UK history local to you - Southampton [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Feast Of The Annunciation
The Feast of the Annunciation, in Greek, Ο Ευαγγελισμός της Θεοτόκου, contemporarily the Solemnity of the Annunciation, and also called Lady Day, the Feast of the Incarnation ('), or Conceptio Christi ('), commemorates the visit of the archangel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary, during which he informed her that she would be the mother of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. It is celebrated on 25 March each year. In the Roman Catholic Church, when 25 March falls during the Paschal Triduum, it is transferred forward to the first suitable day during Eastertide. In Eastern Orthodoxy and Eastern Catholicism, it is never transferred, even if it falls on Pascha (Easter). The concurrence of these two feasts is called ''Kyriopascha''. The Feast of the Annunciation is observed almost universally throughout Christianity, especially within Orthodoxy, Anglicanism, Catholicism, and Lutheranism. It is a major Marian feast, classified as a solemnity in the Catholic Church, a Fes ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It became extinct at the death of the 14th baronet in 1968.

Tichborne was the oldest son of Sir Benjamin Tichborne, 1st Baronet of Tichborne and his second wife Amphillis Weston, daughter of Richard Weston, justice of the common pleas. The Tichbornes were one of the leading Roman Catholic families in the county, but like his father and brothers, Tichborne outwardly conformed to the Church of England. However, his career at Court was damaged when he was denounced in the House of Commons by Sir Daniel Norton on 27 April 1624 for the recusancy of his second wife and children. His situation was made more difficult by his inability to stay out of debt, mainly caused by his wish to be noticed at the Court of James I. His brother was Walter Tichborne of Aldershot. Richard Tichborne was a student of the Middle Temple in 1595. In 1597 he was elected Member of Parli ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tichborne Claimant
The Tichborne case was a legal ''cause célèbre'' that captivated Victorian England in the 1860s and 1870s. It concerned the claims by a man sometimes referred to as Thomas Castro or as Arthur Orton, but usually termed "the Claimant", to be the missing heir to the Tichborne baronetcy. He failed to convince the courts, was convicted of perjury and served a long prison sentence. Roger Tichborne, heir to the family's title and fortunes, was presumed to have died in a shipwreck in 1854 at age 25. His mother clung to a belief that he might have survived, and after hearing rumours that he had made his way to Australia, she advertised extensively in Australian newspapers, offering a reward for information. In 1866, a Wagga Wagga butcher known as Thomas Castro came forward claiming to be Roger Tichborne. Although his manners and bearing were unrefined, he gathered support and travelled to England. He was instantly accepted by Lady Tichborne as her son, although other family memb ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
