General Sir Redvers Henry Buller, VC, GCB, GCMG (Crediton, Devon 1839 – Crediton, Devon 1908). He served as Commander-in-Chief of British Forces in South Africa during the early months of the Second Boer War and subsequently commanded the army in Natal until his return to England in November 1900. He was a recipient of the Victoria Cross. The Eton-educated Buller joined the Eton Rifles in 1858, serving in the Second Opium War, Canadian Red River Expedition and Ashanti Campaign. His first experience in South Africa was the 9th Cape Frontier War of 1878 and the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879. He was knighted in 1882 as recognition for his work in the First Boer War and Egypt Campaign. During the Second Boer War (having been promoted to General in 1896) he was made Commander of the Natal Field Force, but was replaced by Lord Roberts following reverses in battle. Despite a triumphant return home, he faced questions regarding his conduct in the war and was eventually dismissed – nevertheless, he retained public support, and a statue of him was erected in Exeter in 1905. He died at the family seat, Downes House, in 1908 – and the west side of the local church is a monument to him.

It is renowned for its collection of heraldic stained glass, and elaborate carvings which may have been executed by the craftsmen of Eton college. The house had fallen into disrepair by the 19th century, when it was restored by Sir Edward Barry. It is said that concerns about the fate of this noted example of timber-frame architecture led to the founding of the Society for the Preservation of Ancient Buildings by William Morris.The wall tiles in the present lot were noted by the author James Wentworth Day, when he wrote about Ockwells in 'Harvest Adventures' first published by George Harrap in 1946. Wentworth Day describes tiles as follows:'A superb collection of old stamped Spanish leather wall-coverings in gold and silver on crimson was obtained from the House of the Spanish Ambassador in Mexico City.', (Chapter XIV, the Tale of a Unique English Manor House)While leather tiles are often considered to be of a Spanish or Netherlandish tradition, the ones presented here have previously been likened to panels at Schloss Moritzburg (specifically the Hunting Lodge) which are known to have been commissioned from Venetian artisans.Condition Report: Some minor wear and losses but the colours are vibrant and well preserved overall.Old restorations and strengthening to the rear of the panels.Condition Report Disclaimer

A George III turned oak commemorative punch bowl made from timbers of H.M.S Royal George, formed early 19th century, applied with a silver shield shaped plaque inscribed H.M.S. ROYAL GEORGE. (108 Guns) Capsised 29th Augst. 1782. This Punch Bowl was turned from a beam of Admiral Kempenfelts cabin, by JAMES GERRARD. 1802, 16cm highHMS Royal George was commissioned at the start of the Seven Years War (1756-1763). After serving with distinction, Rear Admiral Richard Kempenfelt was due to relieve Admiral Howe in Gibraltar, 1782. The 100-gun, first rate ship of the line anchored at Spithead to carry out essential work on the cistern pipe. Once heeled onto one side, the vessel took on water through the gun ports and capsized and quickly sank in the Solent.This naval disaster holds significant importance in British naval history. Having been denied shore-leave, several of the crew's visiting families and dignitaries were among the casualties which exceeded 900 in total. A controversial court martial acquitted the crew and officers of any wrongdoing and tainted the reputation of Navy board. The masts of the wreck remained visible from the shoreline as late as 1794, serving as a macabre reminder of the tragedy. Prompted by local sailors, a series of pioneering dives by Charles and John Deane recovered much of the Royal George's timber and cannons, including a bronze cannon which later formed part of Nelson's column. The masts and beams were reimagined into household items and souvenirs. The wreckage was destroyed in 1840 by the Royal Engineers in a controlled explosion. Condition Report: Split in base and foot chip (thumb nail size), some signs of filler. Other wear etc. consistent with age and use. Condition Report Disclaimer
