Sir Robert Wroth died no 1614, leaving great debts and an infant
son. The son survived him but two years; the Lady Mary, his widow,
lived on for many, and her extravagance seems to have kept her in
perpetual turmoil. It is quaint, in these democratic days, to read
how, year by year, she received from the King protection-orders, by
reason of her birth and quality, and the earnest intention she
expressed of immediately satisfying her numerous creditors. She
was a niece of Sir Philip Sydney, himself a strangely lavish and
impecunious person, and, like him, she wrote a book—a big book,
which made a stir at the time, less perhaps by reason of its merit
than of certain slanders it contained. It was suppressed and is now
forgotten, though occasionally one of the poems, with which it is
interspersed, is quoted in some modern anthology. The death of her
husband gave the succession to his property—sadly diminished since
his father’s day, when the family owned from Luxborough to
Lambourne—to his brother John. After him came a nephew, John
the second, who died at Luxborough in 1661, leaving a young son,
John the third, who married a daughter of Lord Maynard (the
ancestor of Lady Warwick), and by her became father of John Wroth
the fourth. John the fourth married a cousin, Elizabeth Wroth, and
died childless. On the death of his widow, in 1738, a descendant of
one of her sisters, William, Earl of Rochford, became possessor of
the manor and advowson, which, in 1745, he sold to Alderman
Whitaker, of London; in 1770 the Alderman’s daughter, Anne,
succeeded her mother, and, in 1825, the estate passed to Mr. John
Maitland, of Woodford Hall, the great-grandfather of the present
owner (1913).
The Church of St. Nicholas.

Returning to the Reformation period we will pause to regard the site


on which the Memorial Chapel now stands. The church itself, of
which one or two illustrations are in existence, was unfortunately
pulled down in 1847, when the new one was built. The first
recorded church is mentioned in the second half of the 12th century,
temp. Hen. II., and it seems as though some remains of that
building were to be found in that which existed in 1846, if we may
trust the illustration which shews two round-headed doorways on
the north aisle. That it was added to in the 16th century, we know,
from the will of George Stonard (proved in 1558), for he expresses a
desire to be buried near his late wife ‘in the new chapel within the
Church of Loughton.’ He it was who gave the large sum of £40—
equivalent to some £300 nowadays—for a new frame for the
hanging up of the bells: the nature of the frame can be judged by
anyone who examines that in Chigwell Church. The brasses to the
memory of George’s father, and his two wives, are still in the
Memorial Chapel: and it is not improbable that yet another brass
commemorates George himself, his wife and children, some of whom
predeceased their parents. The stones belonging to the brasses are
still in situ in the old churchyard. Mr. David Powell, writing in 1790,
says that there was nothing remarkable about the church.
Archdeacon Hamilton, who became rector in 1804, and undertook a
restoration in 1820, took out one of the stone windows in the
chancel and replaced it by another with a framework of iron—which
seems to give the measure of his artistic and antiquarian aptitudes.
As time went on and the population increased, the old church came
to be regarded as too small, and inconveniently distant from the bulk
of the population, and a movement was initiated which resulted in
the erection of the existing parish church of St. John Baptist, with
the church-house adjacent. The old church, picturesque as it was
and in good repair, was condemned to destruction, a part being left
standing, or rebuilt, to serve as a mortuary chapel. Part of the
materials of the old church were used in building the church-house,
and the rest was sold by auction. Later on, in 1876, the mortuary
chapel was replaced by the new Memorial Chapel of St. Nicholas,
familiar to you all.
Loughton Hall.

Hard by the church stood the old Hall, an ancient structure, which
about the year 1600 was said to be in sad decay. Soon afterwards
Sir Robert Wroth brought it, and, at great cost, converted it into the
imposing mansion of which an old water-colour drawing gives some
idea. It will be seen that the facade is Jacobean, while what lies
behind it wears a familiar Tudor air. This house, and apparently its
contents too, were sold with the estate, and all was kept by Miss
Whitaker much as the Wroths left it. Mr. Maitland, on his accession,
carried out considerable alterations; for, among other
inconveniences, many rooms were accessible only through others,
corridors and passages being details with which our ancestors seem
to have been able to dispense. Unfortunately, as too often happens,
the new wine proved too strong for the old bottle, and just after Mr.
Maitland and his family had settled in their new home, a fire broke
out at night owing to a beam in the library chimney having ignited.
The story goes that the beam fell on a wire, which set a bell in the
butlers room a-ringing. He gave the alarm and all the inmates of
the house escaped. It was winter and a cold night: the ponds were
frozen and little or no water was obtainable, so that the house, the
pictures, and 10,000 printed books and MSS. perished, but not
before many valuable objects had been rescued. For many years
the site lay vacant behind the great iron gates, until, some five-and-
twenty years ago (1879), the new Hall arose upon it, and the road
was diverted to its present course.
A Pluralist Rector.

Mr. Hamilton, who became Rector in 1804, as already mentioned,


affords a somewhat startling instance of the pluralism which was
common less than a century ago. In addition to being Rector here,
when the tithe was still uncommuted, he was also Archdeacon of
Taunton, Canon Residentiary of Lichfield, Rector of St. Mary-le-Bow,
Chaplain-in-Ordinary to the King, Librarian of St. Martin’s Library,
and, to cap it all, Parish Clerk of St. Martin’s-in-the-Fields—a post
worth £334 a year, with duties, as you may imagine, invariably
performed by deputy. His son, Walter Kerr Hamilton, afterwards
Bishop of Salisbury, was of another mind, and, being a Canon of
Salisbury at the time of his father’s death, declined the offer of
Loughton, though he would (says Dr. Liddon) gladly have enabled
his widowed mother to live on in her old home, if his conscience had
permitted him to accept it. Kerr Hamilton, in his younger days, got
into trouble in the parish for making friends with the dissenting
minister.
The Hamilton family came first to Loughton, it would seem, in 1746,
when Alexander Hamilton married, as his third wife, Charlotte Stiles,
a niece and co-heiress of Ady Collard, whose ancestors had held
land in the parish, at any rate since the 16th century. Through that
marriage Debden Hall and Holyfield Hall (in Waltham) came into the
Hamilton family. Mr. Alexander Hamilton, we may note in passing,
was an uncle of the famous ‘Single Speech’ Hamilton. By his second
wife he left a son, William, who succeeded him at Debden Hall,
where one of his daughters, who married Mr. Nicholas Pearse,
afterwards lived. To her memory there is a window in the chancel of
the parish church, and it is in illustration of her works of charity that
the subject of it is Christ surrounded by little children. Of Alexander
Hamilton’s great-great-grandsons one succeeded in establishing his
claim to the ancient Scotch barony of Belhaven and Stenton; and
another is the well-known friend of the late Mr. Gladstone. On the
whole the Hamiltons have been our most distinguished family.
There was, however, until a few years ago, a family whose
hereditary connexion with Loughton had remained unbroken for
well-nigh three hundred years. I will not weary you with a long
pedigree, but will merely tell you that Robert Dawges paid taxes
here in 1546; that by a marriage his estate passed to the Eyres a
century or so later; that a century after that, by another marriage, it
passed to the Whalley’s, with whom a part of it remained until
1866. The Eyres owned Uplands, or Slyders as it then was called:
the land last remaining to the Whalleys was Algors House and the
fields on the other side of the main road.
Until the coming of the railway these small copyhold and freehold
estates remained in much the same condition as in earlier times.
Then the speculator saw his chance, and the immemorial elms and
oaks—mainly pollards these latter, and in some cases of enormous
size—came down, hedge-rows were levelled, and roads laid out.
The village would have been an ideal site for a ‘garden-city,’ and
models of domestic architecture were not far to seek—Algors House,
The White House, Alderton Hall, and others outside the parish but
not far off, might have served. But it is only now that people are
beginning to realise that a plain, roomy, old-fashioned cottage is
better art than a smart new villa: and even now, after all that Ruskin
and Morris have done, it is only among the more highly cultivated
that saner views are beginning to prevail. But they will filter down,
for on every side we see signs of awakening among the members of
the architectural profession, though the process is often retarded by
the necessity of satisfying inartistic clients.
We in Loughton owe more than all of us perhaps recognize to an
architect who has left his mark strongly impressed on our village. I
refer, of course, to Edmond Egan, and I am glad to have the
occasion to pay this tribute to his memory. Each year now sees
some often undesired change, and one can almost forsee the time
when ‘long unlovely streets’ will have replaced almost wholly the
green meadows which have hitherto gladdened the eyes and hearts
of us Forest-folk. The Forest we shall always have: but a Forest
girdled with coal-smoke will not be the same Forest.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend


considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe
and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating
the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project
Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may
be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to,
incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a
copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or
damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer
codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for


the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph 1.F.3,
the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the

1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you


discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving
it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by

entity that provided you with the defective work may elect to provide
a replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the work
electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose to
give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in
lieu of a refund. If the second copy is also defective, you may
demand a refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the
problem.

1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ‘AS-IS’, WITH NO
OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied


warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be

by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation,

any Project Gutenberg™ work, (b) alteration, modification, or
additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any
Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission


of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.
It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and
donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the


assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,
see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project


Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit
501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification
number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West,


Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up
to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website
and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to


the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can
be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the
widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many
small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to
maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating


charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and
keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in
locations where we have not received written confirmation of
compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of
compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where


we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in
such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make


any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of
other ways including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About


Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,


including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how
to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
