St Oswald's Church. The Parish of Methley and Mickletown. Savile Monument, St. Oswald's Church Until 1948 this massive monument was in the Waterton Chapel, facing east-west and standing below the east window, where the medieval altar had been. The latter was removed during the Reformation. The monument now stands north-south, immediately to the right inside the south door of the church. The sculptor was probably Maximilian Colt, who flourished between 1595 and 1645. On top of the high, colourful tomb are three large effigies: Sir John Savile, Baron of the Exchequer (right), Sir Henry Savile, his son (centre), and Mary, the son's wife (left). The effigy of Sir John is shown wearing judge's robes with a ruff and a square college cap. He died in London in 1606 and was buried in the church of St. Dunstan, in the East, only his heart being brought to Methley and buried here - the inscription is on the base of the tomb. Sir Henry Savile is clad in armour with a large ruff. His feet are resting on an owl - the crest of his family. Henry died in 1663. Next to him is his wife, Mary, and at her feet a boy holding a skull. The base of the tomb is decorated with laurel leaves and has the Savile motto "Je veille" - "I keep watch", and the arms of Ulster "Paciencia y basta". There are owls on wreaths. Owls - crest of Saviles. The Savile owl was incorporated into the Leeds Arms in 1626 in honour of Sir John Savile, the first honorary Alderman of Leeds.

However, he taught himself mathematics and astronomy, and in time became an accomplished inventor and maker of scientific instruments. He was also a keen disciple of Newtonon whose physics he gave public lecturesas well as a considerable philosopher of language. Martin published many books on these various subjects, but his chief ambition as a writer was nothing less than to provide a synopsis of all scientific and philosophical knowledge in a grand fourteen-volume series. Martin only ever completed five of these projected booktwo on philology, two on mathematics, and the Biographia Philosophica This rare little encyclopaedia contains entries detailing the lives and works of 157 people, from Thales and Euclid in antiquity to Sir Isaac Newton and Dr Nicholas Saunderson in Martin's own century. Typically, an entry will begin with biographical information and then move on to a critical assessment of its subject's work, 'digested according to the Order of Time in which they lived'. Sometimes, a bibliography is given in conclusion. As was usual in his era, Martin construed the term 'philosophy' broadly enough to include the sciences as well as abstract thought.

When redevelopment in 1961 led to the demolition of their original building, Pooles, unable to find suitable premises in Savile Row, were forced to move to a modern site in Cork Street. In 1982, however, they were able to return to their traditional home and moved into a beautiful Victorian building at number 15. The original house at number 15 was built for the Countess of Suffolk in 1733. It remained a residence until 1871 when a famous London Club moved in, changing its name to the Savile Club. Many eminent members used the building including Arthur Balfour (a future Prime Minister), Robert Louis Stevenson the author and Sir Henry Irving, the famous Victorian actor and also a customer of Pooles. After the Club moved in 1881 to larger premises in Brook Street, the Regency building was demolished. By 1887 the present building was completed and the ground floor occupied by a firm of tailors.

50. Ben Jonson The Earl of Essex, noble and high; and sir Walter Raleigh, not to be contemned, eitherfor judgment or style; sir henry savile, grave, and truly lettered; sir http://www.sirbacon.org/links/jonson.html

Ben Jonson "I have and do reverence him for the greatness that was only proper to himself, in that he seemed to me ever, by his works, one of the greatest men, and most worthy of admiration that has been in many Ages."Ben Jonson in tribute to Francis Bacon In Ben Jonson's Discoveries (1641) he gives Bacon the highest praise, and describes his writings in these peculiar words: "He who hath filled up all numbers and performed that in our tongue which may be compared or preferred to insolent Greece and haughty Rome ....so that he may be named as the mark and acme of our language." Bacon is here compared to Homer and Virgil in the same words that Jonson used about the author of the Shakespeare Folio in 1623: "Leave thee alone for the comparison Of all that insolent Greece and haughty Rome Sent forth.... " "He who hath filled up all numbers," acknowledges Bacon's versification during Elizabethan days such as sonnet, madrigal, blank verse and even cypher numbers. Ben Jonson, the editor of the Shake-speare Folio, is telling posterity in this eulogy from his significantly entitled "Discoveries" that : Francis Bacon is Shakespeare. (Excerpted from The Knights of the Helmet by Martin Pares) "There was one famous contemporary of Lord Bacon, a great and original writer himself, a man of moods and satire, seldom given to lavish praise of others, who acknowledged Bacon to be his "chief." This man was Benjamin Jonson. If ever there was a man of genius, full of suprises, it was Ben. He combined the strangest mixture of coarseness and delicacy. As a private soldier in the Low Countries he challenged and killed with his own hands a champion from the enemy camp; later he killed a fellow actor in a duel. He drank heavily at times, and it is not impossible that Will Shakspers' decease after that famous "merry meeting" was the end of a similar feud. And yet Ben Jonson could write, not only in Latin. not only ribald plays, but some of the loveliest lyrics such as the extravagant, "Drink to me only with thine eyes."

It is not wholly unlike Wright's portrait of Elizabeth Collier (see Plate XVI), and we think in the youthful Violetta Darwin and in other members of the stock descended from Elizabeth Collier and Erasmus Darwin we may find traces of Catherine Sedley. And if we are to judge a royal mistress, we must turn to her time and parentage ! Her father was one of the lewdest men at Charles II's court, and even Pepys, by no means himself an ascetic, was shocked at his profligacy. Yet he was a man with real literary power, his prose style is " clear and facile," and his plays and poems had such a contemporary reputation that Charles II said of him that " his style, either in writing or discourse, would be the standard of the English tongue." Later in life Sedley somewhat redeemed himself by parliamentary activity and his advocacy of William III'. He will ever be remembered by his lyrics "Love still has something of the sea, From whence his mother rose ";

Over the years many families have lived in the Dell, each contributing in their own way to preserving and maintaining the lovely rural setting. They tended their pretty cottage gardens and their children played happily in a natural safe playground. They all helped with the upkeep of the Church as it was the people of the Dell who cleaned the Church, did what repairs they could to the fabric, tended the oil lamps and kept the gravestones and Churchyard tidy. Ashby Dell was also well known for the Donkey Close which was situated behind the Old Rectory. Here the donkeys were kept, t fetch and carry the washing from as far away as Lowestoft.

History index Saved from ruin By TIM WARNER Country house visiting remains one of our most popular weekend pastimes and in the Dukeries area of north Nottinghamshire we are blessed with some very fine examples. Although Welbeck Abbey (an army college) and Thoresby Hall (currently being converted to an hotel) are sadly not open to the public, Newstead - the ancestral home of Lord Byron - and Rufford Abbey near Ollerton, home of the Savile family, more than make up for their absence. Today these two great houses have become an essential part of Nottinghamshire's tourist industry, yet as recently as the Forties it looked as if one of them - Rufford - would be lost for ever. During the second world war, Rufford was occupied by military, who it was claimed, caused considerable damage to the fabric of the building. The then owner, Mr Henry Talbot de Vere Clifton, proposed redeveloping the land for housing and wanted to demoish Rufford altogether. Great concern was expressed locally and early in 1949, after much debate and discussion, an interim order of preservation was obtained by the county council. Plans for demolition were still going forward when finally, in August 1949 - 50 years ago this month - the preservation order was officially confirmed and the building placed under the care of the Ancient Monuments branch of the Ministry of Works (now English Heritage).

His language, (where hee could spare, or passe by a jest) was nobly censorious. No man ever spake more neatly, more presly, more weightily, or suffer'd lesse emptinesse, lesse idlenesse, in what hee utter'd. No member of his speech, but consisted of the owne graces : His hearers could not cough, or looke aside from him, without losse. Hee commanded where hee spoke ; and had his Judges angry, and pleased at his devotion. No man had their affections more in his power. The feare of every man that heard him, was, lest hee should make an end. Scriptorum Catalogus. Cicero is said to bee the only wit, that the people of Rome had equall'd to their Empire.
