A CHARLES I PEWTER BROAD-RIM CHARGER engraved with the arms of the Swain family of Tarrant Gunville and their crest of a demi-dragon supporting an arrow, the reverse with the touch of Nicholas Dolbeare (circa 1620 -51), 221/2" dia. (576mm) with a 91mm semi-broad rim. Provenance: The Swayne family at Tarrant Gunville, Dorset until 1715 when Abigail Swayne married William and Elizabeth Harbin's second son, Wyndham. It is as a result of this marriage that this charger came to be at Newton Surmaville. Nicholas Dolbeare is renowned for supplying pewter to the Edgcumbe family of Cotehele, Cornwall. The "garnish" of pewter chargers (Lots 640-644) has been at Newton Surmaville for well over 300 years but they started life in another local house, Trent, three miles north east of Yeovil. They bear the arms of Sir Francis Wyndham and his wife Anne. After the death of Anne's father, Thomas Gerard of Trent, whose Estates were divided in 1651 between his five daughters, Trent went to Anne and her husband Sir Francis Wyndham and became their main home. The chargers must, therefore, date somewhere between 1646, when Francis and Anne were married, and 1672 when Thomas Haward, the maker, died. It does not seem unreasonable to assume that the garnish was made during the reign of Charles I to celebrate the marriage of Sir Francis Wyndham Bt. and Anne Gerard of Trent in 1646. Francis and Anne's third daughter, Elizabeth, married William Harbin of Newton Surmaville and it must be through that marriage, in 1673, that the garnish found its' way to Newton Surmaville where it has remained to this day. The Wyndhams were a prominent Royalist family and Sir Francis and Anne gave Charles II refuge at Trent after the battle of Worcester before he fled to the Continent. By the time of his death in 1676, Sir Francis had also acquired Pilsdon Hall in Dorset from his uncle. His short will is concerned with his estates and major bequests and does not descend into detail, but in a reference to his third daughter is a codicil to the will giving "my daughter Harbin £30 to buy her a ring or other jewel that she shall best like". His goods and chattels were all left to his wife. The probate inventory of those goods and chattels is much lengthier than his will. Indeed, it takes up ten feet of parchment as it goes through the contents of 22 rooms at Trent and then another 22 at Pilsdon. It seems reasonable to assume that the following garnish was at Trent. The inventory refers to "nine great pewter dishes and nine dozen of old plates, six dozen of newe plates …". The valuation of the pewter at Trent was given as £20 5shillings. According to the Journal of the Pewter Society (Spring 2008) the Newton Surmaville garnish is "an extraordinary set of chargers with no known parallels elsewhere". Each charger has on the front rim the hallmarks of Thomas Haward of London and his touch on the reverse. Haward was made free in February 1636/7 and he set up shop a year later. He died towards the end of 1672. Only one other exceptionally large charger by him has been recorded, a 26.75" example with a multi-beaded rim from the Shemmell Collection. That rim style only came into fashion at the end of Haward's working life. The broad rim style of the present garnish, in contrast, could have been made at any time during his working life.
