*Temple (William, 1881-1944). An interesting collection of 68 autographed letters signed from William Temple to Henry Harrison Hardy, circa 1899-1901, majority on letter headed paper from Butharlyp How, Grasmere; Balliol College, Oxford; Old Palace, Canterbury and Lambeth Palace etc., including many of 10 or 12 pages in length, discussing philosophical and theological matters, in addition to more general & personal correspondence, including "August 28, [1899?], My dear Harry, As regards your last letter I am 'in danger of hell fire.' However, as to wine, it is precisely analogous to 'There is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink.' The only thing we know for certain is that we are here, in some sense or other: everything else is hypothesis: then let us have wine, i.e. sensual, or at least worldly, enjoyment. 'Eat, drink and be merry, for to-morrow we die.' But this is unsatisfactory: our own nature desires more. We are conscious of a 'judgment to come.' It may be that 'we are the clay; He is the potter.' But in some way or other we are responsible" William Temple (1881-1944) was a bishop in the Church of England. He was educated at Rugby School and Balliol College, Oxford, where he obtained a double first in classics and served as president of the Oxford Union. He served as Bishop of Manchester (1921-29), Archbishop of York (1929-42) and Archbishop of Canterbury (1942-44) and currently is the last Archbishop of Canterbury to have died while in office. Major Henry Harrison Hardy (1882-1958) was also educated at Rugby School. He became the headmaster of Cheltenham College and later of Shrewsbury School from 1932-1944. Robert Hardy was the youngest child of Henry Harrison Hardy and Edith Jocelyn Dugdale. (1)

*Glassware. Mixed glassware, including large stemmed wine glass engraved with a pheasant and at the foot 'The Shooting Party', 17cm high, another engraved Lewes and East Grinstead Railway Company, 'Presented to Robert Hardy 31.7.82', 16.5cm high, a pair of tumblers engraved 'Siegried Farnon, Skeldale House' and 'James Herriot, Skeldale House', 9.5cm high, plus other glassware The British film 'The Shooting Party' directed by Alan Bridges and based on the book by Isabel Colegate was released in 1985. Set in 1913 it demonstrated the life contrast between English aristocrats, gathered for pheasant shooting and the local rural poor, who served as 'beaters'. A terrible accident occured at the commencement of filming, where all the male lead actors, including Paul Scofield, Robert Hardy, Edward Fox & Rupert Frazer were thrown from a horse-drawn shooting-brake which had lost control and overturned. Rupert Frazer jumped off without great harm. The other actors were catapulted into a pile of scaffolding. Robert Hardy stood up and realised to his amazement that he was unhurt. He looked across to see Edward Fox stand up, "turn completely green and collapse in a heap". He had broken five ribs and his shoulder-blade. He then noticed that Paul Scofield was lying very still on the ground, "and I saw that his shin-bone was sticking out through his trousers". As the film took place in October due to the partridge-shooting season, the filmmakers had to make a choice to either delay filming for a year, or re-cast. James Mason was therefore subsituted to play Paul Scofield's part to enable filming to continue. (9)

Philip Reinagle, RA (British, 1748-1833) Breaking Cover, Colonel Thornton oil on canvas 71 x 91cm (28 x 35in) Colonel Thomas Thornton (1757-1823), self-styled Prince of Chambord and Marquess de Pont, is famous for being one of the most dedicated and flamboyant sportsmen of the 18th and 19th centuries, dividing his time between hunting, racing, shooting, angling and hawking. A legend in his own time he was a bon viveur, sportsman and collector with a passion for hunting. Thornton inherited the Thornville Royal estate in Yorkshire but his extravagant lifestyle, with two London houses as well as his Yorkshire seat, eventually resulted in the sale of his estate. Records of the day chart the progress south of his considerable belongings and retinue after the sale of the Yorkshire property - this included grooms, huntsmen, falconers, kennel-hands and servants, travelling by horse and attended by hounds, following a chain of wagons containing his prized animals and an arsenal of sporting weapons drawn by Arab mares from the King's Stud, accompanied by several wagon-loads of wine. Following the sale of his Yorkshire estate, Thornton leased Spye Park in Wiltshire in 1805 from the Bayntun family, and replaced the Bayntun family portraits by commissioning paintings from the best sporting artists of the day such as Reinagle, Gilpin and Henry Bernard Chalon. Reinagle is known to have painted a portrait of him holding a hawk, as well as portraying his spaniels. Thornton is also famous for his succession of mistresses, the first being Alicia Meynell known as the 'Norwich Nymph' and famous in her own right for her horse race against Captain Flint at York racecourse in 1804, and again in 1805 on the Knavesmire when she beat Edward Buckle the crack jockey of his day. She remained the only woman listed in the records of England's Jockey Club to have raced and won against a man until 1943. Thornton moved to France during the second decade of the 19th century and in 1819-20 his very substantial art collection - which included works by significant Old Masters - was sold to settle his debts. Oil on canvas which has been lined. The paint layer is in a good condition. There are a few scattered retouchings. The varnish is clear, even and semi-matte. The frame is in a good condition.
