| Sir Alan Desmond Bagot, 1st and only baronet | ||||||
| Sir Alan was the son of Josceline Fitzroy Bagot, MP for Kendal 1892-1906 and 1910-1913. In | ||||||
| the New Year's Honours List for 1913, it was announced that a baronetcy had been conferred | ||||||
| upon Josceline Bagot, but he died on 1 March 1913, before the patent creating the baronetcy | ||||||
| had passed the Great Seal. As a result, his 17-year-old son was created a baronet shortly after | ||||||
| the death of his father. The 'Court Circular' section of 'The Times' of 5 July 1913 stated that | ||||||
| "The King has been pleased, by Letters Patent under the Great Seal, bearing date April 19, | ||||||
| 1913, to confer the dignity of a baronet of the United Kingdom upon Alan Desmond Bagot, of | ||||||
| Levens, in the County of Westmorland, Esquire, the heirs male of his body lawfully begotten, | ||||||
| his father, Lieutenant-Colonel Josceline FitzRoy Bagot, having died before the passing under the | ||||||
| Great Seal of the Patent of Baronetage which would have been issued in his favour." For similar | ||||||
| instances of a son being created a baronet in honour of his father who had died before his | ||||||
| baronetcy could be created, see the baronetcies of Hills and Kennard. | ||||||
| The home of the Bagot family is Levens Hall in Westmorland, parts of which date from the 13th | ||||||
| century. According to an article in the April 1998 issue of "History Today" a number of points of | ||||||
| interest are associated with this house. | ||||||
| * According to family tradition, in the late seventeenth or early eighteenth century, a gypsy | ||||||
| woman appeared at the front door of the house in a starving condition and begging for food. | ||||||
| She was told to go to the house's back door, but she collapsed and died on the way, but not | ||||||
| before she uttered the prediction that Levens House would never pass from father to son until | ||||||
| such time as the River Kent, which runs through the grounds of the estate, ceased to flow, and | ||||||
| a white fawn was born in the park surrounding the house. Coincidence or not, it is said that | ||||||
| after making this prediction, no male heir was born for the next 200 years, until Alan Desmond | ||||||
| Bagot was born in 1896, and that he was born at a time when the River Kent had frozen over, | ||||||
| and a white deer had been born to one of the black Norwegian fallow deer in the park. The | ||||||
| ghost of the gypsy, known as the Grey Lady, is seen now and again in the grounds. | ||||||
| * Again in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, the house belonged to James | ||||||
| Grahme (1650-1730), MP for Carlisle 1685-1687, Appleby 1702-1708 and Westmorland 1708- | ||||||
| 1727 and younger brother of the 1st Viscount Preston. During his ownership, each year on 12 | ||||||
| May a "Radish Festival" was held on the estate. At such festivals vast amounts of radishes were | ||||||
| consumed, after which participants were required to drink a massive glass of the estate's home | ||||||
| brew, and then walk a straight line across the bowling green. If participants managed to do | ||||||
| this, they received another massive glass and were then asked to walk back again, once more | ||||||
| in a straight line. It is said that no-one was ever able to complete the second walk. | ||||||
| * A flock of semi-feral goats lives in the park at Levens Hall. They are said to be descended | ||||||
| from Swiss goats which were brought back to England by returning Crusaders. | ||||||
| Sir Abe Bailey, 1st baronet | ||||||
| Sir Abe was a larger than life figure, who, during his lifetime won and lost a number of vast | ||||||
| fortunes on the South African gold and diamond fields, was sentenced to death by the Boers | ||||||
| for high treason, and who died one of the world's wealthiest men. The following obituary | ||||||
| appeared in 'The New York Times' on 11 August 1940:- | ||||||
| 'Sir Abe Bailey, mining magnate and race horse owner, whose name since early Gold Rush days | ||||||
| has been synonymous with South Africa, died here [Cape Town] today at the age of 75. He | ||||||
| was a man of astonishing energy and strong constitution, who regained robust health after the | ||||||
| loss of both legs as a result of phlebitis when over 70. | ||||||
| 'It was in 1887, in the rush to the Johannesburg fields, that he first met Cecil Rhodes and | ||||||
| formed a lifelong friendship that laid the foundation for his enormous wealth, estimated in recent | ||||||
| years at ten million pounds. | ||||||
| 'When gold was discovered in the Transvaal, in the 1880s, Abe Bailey hurried there from the | ||||||
| counting room of his Scotch father's general store in a South African veldt town. Before he was | ||||||
| 23 years old he had become a millionaire by trading in gold shares. Thereafter for nearly fifty | ||||||
| years he figured in the affairs of South Africa and the British Empire as financier, politician, | ||||||
| soldier and sportsman. | ||||||
| 'The love of sport which made him a hero of the ring and cricket field in his youth, when he | ||||||
| held the middle and heavyweight boxing titles of South Africa, turned him in maturity to the | ||||||
| turf. He became one of the best-known figures on English race courses and his stables were | ||||||
| among the finest in the world. Ill luck dogged his racers and he seldom won a major event. An | ||||||
| outstanding exception to this rule occurred in 1927 when his Foxlaw won the Ascot Gold Cup. | ||||||
| 'A contemporary of Cecil Rhodes, Bailey was active in the political struggle between Dutch | ||||||
| settlers and English gold seekers in the Transvaal. This culminated in the [Second] Boer War | ||||||
| at the turn of the century and brought all of South Africa under British control. In the war | ||||||
| itself Bailey served with conspicuous bravery and was decorated with the King's and Queen's | ||||||
| medals with six clasps. | ||||||
| 'In 1907 he succeeded to Rhodes's seat in the Cape Colony Parliament and when the Union of | ||||||
| South Africa was formed in 1910 he became member for Krugersdorp in the Transvaal Legislative | ||||||
| Assembly, holding that seat until 1924. | ||||||
| 'He was knighted in 1911 and made a baronet in 1919. This latter distinction was conferred | ||||||
| after he had served as a major in the World War with the South Africans under General Jan C. | ||||||
| Smuts, who wrested Southwest Africa [i.e. Namibia] from the Germans. | ||||||
| 'He was born in Cradock, Cape Colony, on Nov. 6, 1864, the son of Thomas Bailey, merchant | ||||||
| and politician. In 1894 he married Caroline Paddon of England. She died in 1902, and he married | ||||||
| Mary Westenra, daughter of Lord Rossmore, in 1911. His second wife became a noted flier. She | ||||||
| was the first of her sex to fly the Irish Sea and in 1928-29 she made a solo flight from London | ||||||
| to Cape Town and back. | ||||||
| 'Three sons and four daughters were born of the two marriages. The eldest [son], and heir to | ||||||
| the baronetcy, John Milner Bailey, became a London broker and married Diana, daughter of | ||||||
| Winston Churchill, in 1932. This marriage was terminated by divorce. [She subsequently married | ||||||
| Duncan Sandys, later Baron Duncan-Sandys]. | ||||||
| 'It is related that Abe Bailey had made and lost two fortunes as a stockbroker and speculator in | ||||||
| the gold fields before he was 24, and that he was on his way to Australia to start anew when | ||||||
| he stopped at Durban to play for Cape Colony in a cricket match against Natal. He won for the | ||||||
| Cape, the story runs, and was induced to remain in Africa when his admirers raised for him a | ||||||
| purse of $1,000, with which he founded his third and greatest fortune. | ||||||
| 'The tale is perhaps apocryphal [and is certainly not borne out by Bailey's statistics included | ||||||
| on the Cricinfo web-page], but his early years were full of sudden rises and reverses and of | ||||||
| prodigious feats in sport. By 1890 the Rand gold fields had shown their permanence, and the | ||||||
| Bailey fortune was established. As a mine owner he supported the "outlanders" in their | ||||||
| controversy with the Boers of the Transvaal republic over the rights of inrushing gold seekers. | ||||||
| 'When Dr. [Leander] Starr Jameson made in 1895 the raid on the Transvaal which was to have | ||||||
| coincided with an English rebellion there against Boer rule, Bailey was arrested as a plotter and | ||||||
| sentenced to death, along with Rhodes's American engineer, John Hays Hammond, and others. | ||||||
| The sentences were commuted but Bailey spent thirteen months in jail. | ||||||
| 'Sir Abe lived in London after middle age, but continued to regard Muizenberg, a Cape Town | ||||||
| suburb on the Indian Ocean [sic], as his home. | ||||||
| 'On his estate at Colesberg was bred the finest stock in South Africa. He introduced Tasmanian | ||||||
| sheep and saw them become important in the South African wool industry. He sold the | ||||||
| Colesberg property in 1928 for $1,280,000. | ||||||
| 'He made a grant of $25,000 a year to the Royal Institute of International Affairs in 1928 to | ||||||
| promote world peace. | ||||||
| 'His income as reported for British income tax purposes was said to have been more than | ||||||
| $900,000 in 1929 and more than $1,600,000 in 1930.' | ||||||
| The special remainder to the baronetcy of Baird created in 1809 | ||||||
| From the "London Gazette" of 25 March 1809 (issue 16240, page 404):- | ||||||
| 'The King has been pleased to grant the Dignity of a Baronet of the United Kingdom of Great | ||||||
| Britain and Ireland unto Sir David Baird, Knight, Lieutenant-General of His Majesty's Forces, | ||||||
| and the Heirs Male of his Body lawfully begotten; with Remainder to Robert Baird, of Newbyth, | ||||||
| in the County of East Lothian aforesaid, Esq; (Brother to the said Sir David Baird) and the | ||||||
| Heirs Male of his Body lawfully begotten.' | ||||||
| Sir Charles Warwick Bampfylde, 5th baronet | ||||||
| Sir Charles died 12 days after being shot by his housekeeper's husband, who believed that his | ||||||
| wife was having an affair with Sir Charles, and that Sir Charles and his housekeeper had | ||||||
| conspired to have him imprisoned for an alleged assault. The housekeeper's husband, Joseph | ||||||
| Morland, committed suicide after shooting Sir Charles. The following report appeared in "The | ||||||
| York Herald and General Advertiser" on 12 April 1823:- | ||||||
| 'On Tuesday evening, an inquisition was taken at the Worcester Arms public-house, George- | ||||||
| street, Manchester-square, before Thomas Stirling, Esq., coroner, on the body of Joshua | ||||||
| Morland, the individual who attempted the assassination of Sir Charles Bampfylde, and who was | ||||||
| the instrument of his own death under the following circumstances. | ||||||
| 'Lucy Stockes deposed, that her husband had been servant to Sir Charles Bampfylde, and she | ||||||
| had been in the habit of working as charwoman in Sir Charles's house; she was in the habit of | ||||||
| selling apples, etc., at the corner of the square; about half past four on Monday afternoon she | ||||||
| heard the report of a pistol, and some person exclaimed, "Oh;" she almost immediately heard | ||||||
| the report of a second pistol; saw Sir Charles moving quickly towards his own house; heard | ||||||
| him exclaim, "That d----d rascal has shot me. The wife of the deceased had been the house- | ||||||
| keeper to Sir C. Bampfylde, who is 71 years of age. | ||||||
| 'Wm. Bayles at half past four was passing down Montague-street, and Sir C. Bampfylde and | ||||||
| another man with their backs towards him, walking on the other side of the way - there was | ||||||
| a butter-man also walking in the same line, but behind them. Sir Charles was walking from | ||||||
| deceased; heard the reports of two pistols; saw deceased fire the second pistol; his arm was | ||||||
| lifted, and directed towards his face. | ||||||
| 'By a Juryman - Did he run away after firing the first pistol? - No, he stood with his back to | ||||||
| the coachway, and fell on the curb stone. | ||||||
| 'After the examination of a number of witnesses, which continued to a late hour, the Jury | ||||||
| returned a verdict of Felo de se. | ||||||
| 'The following statement of the nature of the wound is certified by the signatures of the | ||||||
| Medical gentlemen who are attending Sir Charles:- | ||||||
| "Sir Charles Bampfylde has been wounded by a pistol ball in the right side of the chest, which | ||||||
| entered below the shoulder near the spine, and has lodged. The wound is not at present | ||||||
| attended by any unfavourable symptoms, but it is still one of a very dangerous tendency." | ||||||
| 'Jealousy is said to have been the cause of this outrage.' | ||||||
| 'The Times' on 21 April 1823 reported that "Sir Charles Bampfylde, who was shot about a | ||||||
| fortnight since by Joseph Moreland, died on Saturday night at 20 minutes past eight. The | ||||||
| surgeons having been unable to extract the ball, had, on consultation, pronounced his case | ||||||
| hopeless. For some days he had been in a state of torpor, and expired in that melancholy | ||||||
| situation." | ||||||
| At the subsequent inquest held into the death of Charles, the jury found that "Sir Charles had | ||||||
| been wilfully murdered by Joseph Morland, deceased." | ||||||
| Sir Richard Hugh Barlow, 6th baronet | ||||||
| Sir Richard died when the plane in which he was travelling crashed in the Andes in Ecuador | ||||||
| in 1946. 'The Guardian,' on 7 December 1946, reported that 'A British baronet, Sir Richard Hugh | ||||||
| Barlow, and Captain O.E. Gates, chief pilot of the Shell Company in Ecuador, are missing | ||||||
| somewhere among the canyons and volcanoes of the Andes, in Ecuador. Their 'plane left | ||||||
| Shellmera for Quito, capital of Ecuador, on Tuesday morning [3 December]. The last radio | ||||||
| contact was received four minutes after they had taken off. A search party left yesterday to | ||||||
| cross the 25 miles of rugged country between Shellmera and the course of the Rio Blanco | ||||||
| River, where the wreckage of a 'plane was sighted on Thursday. The 'plane had apparently | ||||||
| crashed into a precipice 13,000 feet up and appeared to be burnt out.' | ||||||
