The subject of the country house museum in the British Isles has not received a great deal of scholarly attention, compared with other early museum studies. Nor has the collection of arms and armour as an important element of interior decoration, in the context of the private museum, been much considered until the late Clive Wainwright’s pioneering...
Scaitcliffe Hall, the seat of the Crossley family for many generations, is off the Burnley Road, a couple of miles from Todmorden in Calderdale. It is described as a house of 1666 with additions of 1738, substantially altered in 1833–5 with attractive Gothic glazing and an added bay of c.1850 (Fig. 1).5 When the hall was rebuilt in the 1830s, after...
The Crossleys were proud of their lineage6 and a family tradition of military service, going back to Marston Moor in 1644 (where John Crossley fought on the Royalist side) and the Jacobite incursion of 1745 where Luke Crossley (a younger son) served as a Cornet in the Light Dragoons under the Duke of Cumberland. Luke may also have fought at Cullode...
A local newspaper, the British Volunteer and Manchester Weekly Express for 10 August 1816 (folded into archive vol. 1), gives a long account of the events surrounding the presentation of a silver sword to Captain John Crossley by the non-commissioned officers, privates and drummers of the 5th (Todmorden) Company of the Oldham Regiment of Local Mili...
The Peninsular War provided fresh material for the armoury. A batch of correspondence (no. 185) from Sergeant-Major Timothy Grindrod (c.1779–1820) of the 16th Queen’s Light Dragoons to his mother in Rochdale, along with a manuscript account of the battle of Talavera, accompanied documentation of Crossley’s attempts to secure a pension for the widow...
Sir Walter Scott was one of the first celebrities to visit the site of the battle of Waterloo, and found that relics could no longer be picked up freely on the field, but had been effectively commandeered by the local inhabitants and were ruthlessly offered for sale. In Paul’s Letters to his Kinfolk (1816),16Scott paints a grisly picture of the com...
The perfect examplar of the hero (though not a son of Lancashire) that Crossley wished to commemorate in his armoury was Corporal John Shaw (1789–1815) of the 2nd Regiment of Life Guards. Shaw, the son of a Nottinghamshire farmer, enlisted in 1807. He had become a famous prizefighter and sat as a model for both William Etty and Benjamin Robert Hayd...
Crossley owned one of Napoleon’s shirts made by Charvet (no. 237), his ‘Razor with a mother-of-pearl handle, gold mounted and case of blue morocco’ (no. 305), a wispy lock of his hair (no. 106) cut at St Helena, with confirming documentation from Major Richard Boys, Chaplain at St Helena, and a golden bee (no. 69), ‘one of the 365 which adorned Bon...
One of the strangest aspects of the Napoleonic relic-collecting mania was the veneration afforded to the remarkable old Hetman of the Don Cossacks, Matvei Ivanovitch Platov (1757–1818), a hero of the Russian campaign. This noble Cossack first struck the public imagination when he appeared in Hyde Park on 20 June 1814, reviewing the troops with the ...
Some twenty years after Peterloo came the less well known but equally bloody Newport Rising of 4 November 1839, when about 10,000 men, many of them coal-miners, descended on the town of Newport, Monmouthshire, intent on the rescue of Chartists believed to be imprisoned in the Westgate Hotel. The local authorities enrolled 500 special constables and...
