Elvetham Hall
Elvetham Hall is a hotel in Hampshire, England, in the parish of Hartley Wintney about northwest of Fleet. The building is a High Victorian Gothic Revival English country house and a Grade II* listed building. It stands in a landscaped park that is Grade II listed. Architecture The house was built in 1859–62 for the 4th Baron Calthorpe. It was designed by Samuel Sanders Teulon, who was noted for his polychrome brickwork. It is built of red brick and stone dressing, with bands and decoration in black brick. It is an ornate design with hipped and mansard roofs with gables and dormers, tall brick chimneys and an entrance front dominated by a tall tower. The interior is notable for its fireplaces. The house has a porte-cochère that was added in 1901 and a dining room that was added in 1911. Both are designed "deceivingly" to match the original house. The architectural historians Nikolaus Pevsner and David Lloyd called Elvetham Hall "A major house of eulon but not one anybody ...

John Plummer (MP)
John Plummer (also ''Plomer'', ''Plourmel'', ''Plumere'', ''Polmier'', ''Polumier''; c. 1410 – c. 1483) was an English composer who flourished during the reign of Henry VI of England. Not many of Plummer's compositions survive. The motets ''Anna mater matris Christi'' (Anne, mother of the mother of Christ) and ''Tota Pulchra Es'' (My Love is Wholly Beautiful) are widely available and recorded. A number of Plummer's compositions appear in the manuscript Brussels Biliothèque Royale MS 5557. During his own lifetime, knowledge and performance of his works spread at least as far as the present-day Czech Republic, where pieces such as ''Tota Pulchra Es'' were copied into the Codex Speciálník (c. 1500). These pieces are unaccompanied sacred vocal music written for use in the great royal and noble chapels of northern Europe. Plummer was a member of the English Chapel Royal at least from 1438, and was also apparently the first to hold the office of Master of the Children of ...

Arthur Gough-Calthorpe
Arthur is a masculine given name of uncertain etymology. Its popularity derives from it being the name of the legendary hero King Arthur. A common spelling variant used in many Slavic, Romance, and Germanic languages is Artur. In Spanish and Italian it is Arturo. Etymology The earliest attestation of the name Arthur is in the early 9th century Welsh-Latin text ''Historia Brittonum'', where it refers to a circa 5th century Romano-British general who fought against the invading Saxons, and who later gave rise to the famous King Arthur of medieval legend and literature. A possible earlier mention of the same man is to be found in the epic Welsh poem ''Y Gododdin'' by Aneirin, which some scholars assign to the late 6th century, though this is still a matter of debate and the poem only survives in a late 13th century manuscript entitled the Book of Aneirin. A 9th-century Breton landowner named Arthur witnessed several charters collected in the '' Cartulary of Redon''. The Irish borrow ...

John Irving (MP)
John Irving (5 October 1766 – 10 November 1845) was an Irish landowner, industrialist and MP. Life He was the proprietor of the Magheramorne estate in County Antrim in the 19th century and was an improving landlord who encouraged tenants to improve the land through provision of lime for fertilisation, and incentives for those who drained and erected ditches. He also built a row of labourer's cottages which had two acres attached to each to encourage self-sufficiency. Irving majored in developing what was then known as Ballylig Lime Works, building quays and a railway, and expanding the production. In 1834 130,000 barrels of lime were exported at 10d per barrel, amounting to over £5400. 300 tons of limestone was exported, valued at £22 and 624 tons of flint amounting to a value of £140. Ships traded with County Down, the Clyde, Liverpool, Kintyre and other areas. Flints from Magheramorne quarries were used in the Staffordshire Potteries. Irving died in London in November 1 ...

1831 United Kingdom General Election
The 1831 United Kingdom general election was held from 28 April 1831 to 1 June 1831. With electoral reform becoming a major issue, the Whigs under Prime Minister Earl Grey won a decisive victory with a majority of 82 seats. This was the last election before the Reform Act 1832. Political situation The ninth UK Parliament elected in 1830 lacked a stable Commons majority for the Tory government of the Duke of Wellington: the best estimate is that it had 310 supporters, 225 opponents and 121 doubtful.D.R. Fisher, History of Parliament 1820–1832, vol. 1, Cambridge University Press 2009, p. 349. After a series of defeats, on 15 November 1830 Henry Parnell's motion for an inquiry into the civil list was carried by 233 to 204; this defeat surprised Wellington and his cabinet and forced their resignation. Wellington went into opposition, with Sir Robert Peel as the Tory Leader of the Opposition in the Commons. A Whig government under Earl Grey was appointed on 22 November 1830, ...
