part II

Back one generation to 1.2.1.1.4.1.2. George Wrangham

• 1.2.1.1.4.1.2.1. The Venerable Francis Wrangham, M.A., F.R.S. Born June 11th 1769 at Raisthorpe, a farm-house in the parish of Wharram Percy.
  ‘He was educated privately until at the age of fifteen he went for two years to Hull Grammar School under the Rev. Joseph Milner, as had William Wilberforce some eighteen years before. Thereafter he had a brilliant career at Cambridge, gaining the highest honours in classics and mathematics, and the Chancellor's gold medal and Sir William Browne's gold medal⁽³³⁾33. He attended Magdalene College (admitted October 16th 1785, aged 16) and then migrated to Trinity Hall on November 6th 1787; B.A., 1790; M.A., March 22nd 1793. He subsequently abandoned Trinity Hall and became a member of Trinity College.. In 1793 he was ordained and two years later he became rector of Hunmanby in the East Riding: he retained this living until his death, his elder son acting as resident curate latterly.
  ‘In Yorkshire he was three times appointed Chaplain of Assize, and for twenty years he was examining chaplain to the Archbishop. He was made Archdeacon of Cleveland and later Archdeacon of the East Riding. In 1825 he became a Prebendary of Chester, and in due course rector of Dodleston. From then on he divided his year between his house in St. John's Place, Chester, and his vicarage at Hunmanby. In 1841 he retired to Chester, giving up the archdeaconry, in which he was succeeded by his son-in-law, the Rev. R.I. Wilberforce. He died at Chester on 27th December, 1842, and his body was honoured by burial in the Lady Chapel of the Cathedral⁽³⁴⁾34. He was curate of Cobham, Surrey, 1794-95; vicar of Hunmanby with Muston, 1795-1842; vicar of Folkton, 1795-1821; Fellow of the Royal Society, November 15th 1804; examining chaplain to Vernon Harcourt, Archbishop of York, 1814-34; Archdeacon of Cleveland, 1820-28; vicar of Thorpe Bassett, 1821-27; Prebendary of York, 1823; rector of Dodleston, Cheshire, and Prebendary of Chester, 1827-42; Archdeacon of the East Riding, 1828-40. His will was proved on June 20th 1843 at York..
  ‘As a village parson he was notably practical -the founder of a Cow Club, a Village Library and a Dispensary, and also the warm advocate of a Savings Bank. The records of his questionnaires, visitations and charges show how thoroughly he practised his duties as archdeacon, what importance he attached to wider education and how much trouble he devoted to the restoration and preservation of church buildings. His sermons, even if Sydney Smith found them sometimes "sesquipedalian", were deeply concerned with "making religion part of the lives of ordinary folk rather than a weekly dose of hortatory condescension". Once on visiting a neighbouring church to take the service and on being warned that a turkey was nesting in the pulpit, he forebore to preach, remarking that nobody would miss a sermon anyway. As he himself recognised, his loyalty to Whig principles and to the unpopular cause of Catholic Emancipation kept him "unmitred".
  ‘His printed works, not far short of 100 in number, principally covered religious, classical and historical subjects. They included numerous translations, Greek, Latin, Italian and French; and also much verse, English, French and Latin. Many were issued privately, and often a few copies were run off on coloured paper for the interest of subsequent bibliophiles. He contributed directly or indirectly to every guide-book to the Yorkshire coast in his time, he virtually founded the Northern Sea Bathing Infirmary at Scarborough -himself writing the prospectus- and no one did more to popularize that town in prose and verse. His literary friends included Scott, Wordsworth and Miss Mitford. He became a Fellow of the Royal Society and a member of the Bannatyne and Roxburghe Clubs.
  ‘Perhaps more lasting fame derives from his library, which he had built up to over 15,000 volumes by 1819. His tastes, reasonably catholic, centred on the odd, the obscure and the neglected. He added a wing to Hunmanby Vicarage to house shelves, sometimes doubly filled, in every room, where his friend, Sydney Smith, had rightly warned that they would creep over the walls like an erysipelas. In due course several thousand books were "colonized" at Chester. Shortly before his death he bestowed on Trinity College, Cambridge, about 1,000 volumes containing from 8 to 10,000 tracts. To meet the terms of his Will the library was sold by Sotheby & Co. in London during two sessions each of ten days, covering the two sections at Hunmanby and Chester respectively.
  ‘He was a devoted family man. His first wife, Agnes (Creyke)⁽³⁵⁾35. Married by licence (Archbishop of York) on April 7th 1799. She was the fifth daughter of Colonel Ralph Creyke of Marton Hall (born July 6th 1745 and buried at Bridlington May 3rd 1826) and his wife Jane (died December 31st 1794), 5th daughter of Richard Langley, Esq., of Wykeham Abbey. She died on March 9th 1800, aged 21., died the year after their marriage in giving birth to another Agnes, who married the Rev. R.I. Wilberforce in 1832 and also died in giving birth to her younger son, two years later. By his second wife, Dorothy (Cayley)⁽³⁶⁾36. Married by licence (Archbishop of York, dated July 2nd 1801) at Brompton, near Scarborough, in 1801. She was the 2nd daughter and co-heiress of the Reverend Digby Cayley (son of Sir George Cayley, 4th baronet of Brompton), and his wife Elizabeth Strangways alias Robinson. She died July 5th 1860., he had two sons and three daughters, subsequently Mrs. Edward Barnard, Mrs. Whitehall Dod and Mrs. Henry Raikes. Of his sons only the younger married, his wife being the daughter of the Archdeacon's close friend, Walter Fawkes of Farnley. Family and other letters record his fatherly affection: he dedicated to his children a special poem, "The Quadruped's Feast".
  ‘"National Portraits", published in his lifetime, wrote of him thus:- "In private life Mr. Wrangham is a gentleman of very polished manners, his address most courteous and persuasive, his person tall and commanding, his countenance eminently dignified, and, if we may (from its mild and benevolent expression) use the word, apostolical."⁽³⁷⁾37. A miniature portrait of Archdeacon Wrangham is in the small combination room at Trinity College.
  ‘His neighbour and very warm friend, the Rev. Sydney Smith, loved to pull his leg:- "I am sorry to give you trouble, but to apologize to you for asking information is as it were to beg pardon of a cow for milking, or of the pump for taking water of it."
  ‘Half a century later his youngest daughter wrote to her own children:- "But none of you can remember his charming manners, the sweetness and tenderness of his smile, the elegance of his language, the suavity of his reproofs, so that the servants used to say they liked being found fault with by master -he always seemed so to have trusted them and been fond of them".’⁽³⁸⁾38. From an article by Cuthbert Edward Wrangham, dated May 1975. A fuller account appears in the Dictionary of National Biography.

      • 1.2.1.1.4.1.2.1.6.3.1. Francis Howard Raikes. Born July 4th 1879. Lieutenant, King's Royal Rifle Corps. Served in the South African War, 1900; in command of a half company of the King's Royal Rifle Corps at Ladysmith, where in the early morning of January 6th 1900 ‘he had posted his men in two rifle pits which had been constructed on the Nek between Wagon Hill and Caesar's Camp. At the commencement of the Boer attack he was on the ground between, so that he might better direct the fire of his men. As the enemy continued to approach closer Lieut. Raikes, thinking it would come to hand-to-hand fighting, called out to Serg. Davies in one of the rifle pits asking if there was room for him. Sergt. Davies replied: "Yes; but take care of the heavy fire." Lieut. Raikes replied: "Look out, I am coming", and then ran to the rifle pit but fell dead just as he reached it, shot through the heart. Some reinforcements now arrived, but this young officer and his handful of riflemen had held the enemy in check till 8 a.m. When he fell he was probably the youngest lieut. in the Army.’ He was buried half way up the Nek between Wagon Hill and Caesar's Camp in a grave with four other officers: Lieutenant N.M. Tod, Major D. Mackworth, Major Robert Scarlett Bowen and 2nd Lieutenant W.H.T. Hill. A marble cross and pedestal were erected on the site, with the following inscription: "In token of affection and regard by their brother officers." ‘To this memorial five separate crosses have been added by relatives, and a kerb encloses the whole.’ ‘The East window of St. Peter's Parish Church, Norton, is dedicated to his memory and that of other comrades who fell Jan. 6th. A bronze memorial tablet has also been erected... in Mold Parish Church, and a brass tablet in the School of Handicrafts at Chertsey, in which Institution he took the greatest interest.’⁽⁶³⁾63.
