			Sir George Cayley, 6th baronet
			Sir George Cayley is considered by many to be the first true scientific investigator of flight.
			His biography appeared in the February 1966 issue of the monthly Australian magazine
			"Parade":-
			"One day in 1852 a coachman [or footman or butler - sources differ] employed by Sir George
			Cayley, the squire of Brompton Hall in Yorkshire, earned himself a small but imperishable niche
			in history. He became the first man ever to fly in a heavier-than-air machine. For 500 yards, in
			a weird contraption with a boat­like hull, four circular wings and a rudder like a bird's tail, the
			reluctant aeronaut skimmed through the air from a low hill in the grounds of Brompton Hall. Then
			he struck the ground with a jarring crash. He was still dragging himself painfully from the over-
			turned glider as the 79-year-old Cayley came puffing to the scene. "Please Sir George," the
			terrified coachman gasped. "I wish to give notice at once. You hired me to drive your carriage,
			not to go flying through the air!"
			"Sir George Cayley's experiments in flying form one of the most extraordinary stories in science
			for his genius was almost completely forgotten for nearly 100 years after his death. Cayley was
			the first to grasp the basic principle of heavier-than-air flight - that a flat plane, or wing,
			moving edgewise through the air develops "lift" because of the differing air pressures on the
			upper and lower surfaces. He proved his theory with gliders, beginning with toy models and
			eventually producing crude machines capable of launching man on his career of conquest of the
			air. Cayley dreamt of powered aircraft that would one day traverse the whole globe. But his own
			experiments were continually thwarted by the heavy, cumbersome sources of power available in
			the age in which he lived. He tried steam engines, hot-air engines and engines powered by the
			explosion of gunpowder, only to find them all impracticable. Not until the modern internal
			combustion engine was developed long after Cayley's death was it possible to realise his vision
			powered heavier-than-air flying machines. By then Cayley's work had fallen into oblivion. Only
			the rusting remnants of his gliders at Brompton Hall remained as testimony to a lifetime of
			unacknowledged genius.
			George Cayley was born on December 27, 1773, and at the age of 19 succeeded to his father's
			baronetcy and substantial estate at Brompton in Yorkshire. Cayley however was very different
			from the country squire. In boyhood he had shown a restlessly inquiring mind and a fascination
			with all kinds of mechanical problems. The feats of the pioneer balloonists (he was 11 when the
			first balloon crossed the English Channel) turned his thoughts to the passion that was to inspire
			rest of his long life. The lighter-than-air balloons were at the mercy of every breeze. Young
			Cayley became convinced that man would never really conquer the new element until he
			devised some controllable, powered, heavier-than-air machine.
			"By 1796 he was already filling notebooks with speculations about flight. He tried crude
			experiments with toy helicopters made of wood and birds' feathers and powered by twisted
			cords. He noted how birds could sail effortlessly through the air without any apparent motion of
			the wings. Little by little his revolutionary theory of aeronautics emerged from the mass of data.
			Cayley's other experiments in mechanics, especially with hot-air expansion engines and
			ballistics, had taught him much about atmospheric pressures. But some years passed before he
			realised the relation of air pressure to the problems of flight.
			"In 1804-1805 when Napoleon's threat of invasion hung heavily over England, Cayley's
			researches were side-tracked into schemes for improving naval and artillery cannon. Cayley was
			convinced that conical-shaped ammunition would be much more accurate and cover a longer
			range than the traditional round cannon balls. And he set out to prove it with his usual zeal. He
			borrowed a six-pounder gun and barrels of gunpowder from the government stores at
			Scarborough, set up his own foundry and began casting conical shot fitted with fins to make
			them spin in the air. The gun was planted on the beach near Scarborough and for weeks Cayley
			blazed away with his new ammunition over the North Sea while service officers and local
			inhabitants watched in amazement. The tests were not very convincing because the shot fitted
			badly into the old-fashioned gun. Cayley was years ahead of his time though he is now recog-
			nised as "the father of the principle of streamlining."
			"Some years later he made another momentous contribution to military science when he publish-
			ed plans for a steam-driven machine with a caterpillar tread which "could be made to convey
			artillery over places otherwise inaccessible." This was the germ of the 20th century army tank,
			though Cayley in his lifetime never received credit for being the first to realise the potentialities
			of caterpillar traction.
			"Meanwhile, unknown to the scientific world, Cayley was ceaselessly pushing on with his aero-
			nautical experiments in the seclusion of his Yorkshire estate. With the aid of two local
			mechanics he began building a series of gliders beginning with tiny toy models and increasing
			them to craft weighing nearly 200lb. with a wing surface of 300 square feet. Then in 1809
			Cayley was ready to announce his work to the scientific world and the first of his epoch-
			making essays on Aerial Navigation appeared in Nicholson's Journal in London. The Journal had
			only a small circulation and Cayley's researches at first aroused little interest among the few
			scientists and engineers who read it. To most people "aeronautics" meant balloons. The idea
			that man might fly in machines heavier than air was fantastic and outraged all the known laws
			of nature.
			"Cayley himself had no illusions about the problem. It was one thing to get a glider airborne, it
			was another to provide it with power that would keep it up there and control its flight. Yet he
			was the first man to see that theoretically it was possible. He had calculated correctly that the
			faster an aircraft was driven forward the greater the weight it would support because of the air
			pressures set up above and below the wings. This was the simple principle on which all heavier-
			than-air flight was based. It had nothing to do with flapping wings and all the other fanciful
			ideas of the past.
			"Cayley never solved the problem of motive power for his gliders. But, throughout the years of
			discouragement and ridicule, he never completely gave up hope. He quickly saw that steam
			engines were impossibly weighty and cumbrous and no aircraft could stagger off the ground
			loaded with boilers, furnaces and heaps of coal. He experimented with hot-air expansion
			engines and an engine whose piston was driven by explosions of gunpowder. What was wanted,
			Cayley wrote in one learned journal, was a "gas-tight apparatus firing beneath the piston a
			mixture of inflammable gas and common air." This was, in fact, the conception of the internal
			combustion engine which years later - when Cayley was forgotten - was to make possible the
			modern motor car and aeroplane.
			"Cayley continued building bigger and more efficient gliders but for a long time after the 1820s
			he turned his mechanical genius to engines for lighter-than-air balloons and airships. He
			produced plans for a steam-driven dirigible capable of carrying 16 tons of fuel and 290 pass-
			engers for a distance of 500 miles and tried to launch a national fund to build it. Cayley
			appealed unsuccessfully for 1500 subscriptions of one guinea each. Efforts by Cayley to found
			a Society for Promoting Aerial Navigation were equally futile. But, thwarted
			in one direction, his busy mind turned to half a dozen
			other projects.
			"In 1838 he helped found the Polytechnic Institute in London to introduce scientific wonders to
			the masses. He produced plans for unsinkable lifeboats, artificial limbs for cripples, methods of
			land drainage and for extracting deadly gases from coal mines. By the 1840s the name of Sir
			George Cayley, the odd Yorkshire squire, was known throughout the country for almost every-
			thing except the researches on which he had set his heart. Only the handful who read obscure
			scientific journals knew about the gliders that still swooped down the Brompton hills and the
			mass of calculations that Cayley was building up about their performances.
			"By now a few other pioneers were working on the same problems and in 1842 W[illiam] S[amuel]
			Henson [1812-1888] produced plans for a monster steam­driven monoplane with a wingspan of
			150 feet. A Bill to legalise Henson's Aerial Steam Transit Company was laughed out of the House
			of Commons. Cayley himself ridiculed any prospect of using steam power to keep aircraft in the
			air.
			"Cayley was well into his 70s, a robust old man with ruddy face and flowing white sidewhiskers,
			when he decided to make the first daring experiment of sending a human being up in his gliders.
			He tried first with sacks of ballast. Then he induced a small boy to take to the air, though this
			did not rank as a true flight as the glider was towed along at the end of a rope like a kite. Not
			until 1852 was Cayley confident that he had built a craft strong enough to take an adult human
			on the 500-yard flight from the top of a hill at Brompton into the fields below. The name of Sir
			George Cayley's coachman is not recorded. But, whoever he was, that frightened servant was
			the first man in history to fly in an aircraft heavier than air. Within five years of the epic event
			Cayley was dead and his work died with him."
			Sir Charles William Cayzer, 3rd baronet
			Sir Charles, together with his butler, was found dead as a result of bullet wounds at his home
			on 18 February 1940.  It appears that Sir Charles killed the butler and then committed suicide.
			The following report is taken from the 'Manchester Guardian' of 20 February 1940:-
			'It is now known that Sir Charles Cayzer, Conservative M.P. for Chester, whose death was
			reported in the "Manchester Guardian" yesterday, was found shot with his butler in the butler's
			pantry at his home, Kinpurnie Castle, Angus. Both men had died from gunshot wounds in the
			head.
			'It is stated that members of the domestic staff heard two shots. On investigation they found
			the butler, who was a London man named Benjamin Wexham, lying outstretched in one corner
			of the pantry, while Sir Charles lay by the open door with a double-barrelled gun between his
			knees. It was subsequently established that the gun had been taken from the gunroom, which
			is opposite the pantry.
			'Sir Charles and Lady Cayzer had been out walking on the estate before the tragedy. During
			the walk they met Sir Charles' head gamekeeper, to whom Sir Charles gave instructions
			concerning some work which he wished carried out on the estate.
			'Some months ago Sir Charles suffered a nervous breakdown, but at the outbreak of war,
			having formerly been a lieutenant in the 19th Hussars, he offered his services to the War Office
			and was commissioned. Shortly afterwards he resigned on account of the state of his health.'
			Sir Claude Champion de Crespigny, 4th baronet
			The following is extracted from "The Emperor of the United States of America and Other
			Magnificent British Eccentrics" by Catherine Caufield (Routledge & Kegan Paul, London 1981)
			The perfect 'Boy's Own Paper' hero, Sir Claude Champion de Crespigny believed that 'where
			there is a daring deed to be done in any part of the world, an Englishman should leap to
			the front to accomplish it.' Though Sir Claude had a long and adventurous career, many of
			his attempts to leap to the front were thwarted by bureaucrats opposed to his breakneck
			schemes. In 1886 Stanley turned down his request to accompany his expedition on the
			grounds that Sir Claude did not have enough experience of central Africa. This was
			disappointing, but, in his own words, 'even more keenly have I had cause to regret my lot
			in not being able to take part as a volunteer in several of our little African wars.'
			Three years later, at age 42, Sir Claude went on his own to Egypt where there was a Dervish
			uprising, but, in spite of his claim to be the war correspondent for the Sporting Times, he was
			refused permission to go to the front. He tried to get over this disappointment by volunteering
			for the Boer War. Earlier, he had failed to persuade Blondin, the man crossed Niagara Falls on
			a tightrope, to let him take a turn on the high wire. On a trip to Havana, Sir Claude had to be
			hauled out of a bullring before he could sustain serious injuries - not from a bull, but from the
			spectators. Aficionados of the corrida had become impatient with Sir Claude's failure to grasp
			its rules. Having confused the present spectacle with Wild West rodeos, Sir Claude had tied a
			rope around the bull's testicles and rode it around the ring while he tugged on the rope.
			Following family tradition, Sir Claude pursued a military career. He joined the navy at thirteen
			and five years later transferred to the King's Royal Rifle Corps. He was stationed in Ireland,
			took up steeplechasing and earned the nickname 'The Mad Rider'. Later he was sent to India
			where he was introduced to the joys of big-game hunting. He was also an excellent swimmer
			and sailed competitively. In 1883, Sir Claude and a partner became the first people to cross
			the North Sea in a balloon.
			Although he had broken fourteen bones before middle age, Sir Claude did not slow down much
			as the years passed. At 42 he became the first European to swim the Nile rapids. When he was
			61 he walked the 45 miles from Champion Lodge in Essex to London on a wager of 2s 6d. He
			steeplechased until he was 67. In 1920, at the age of 73 he challenged his cousin to a duel
			and was sorely grieved that his challenge was rejected.
			Sir Claude believed that fighting was a manly occupation and an indication of character. His
			obituary in The Times notes that 'as a man of honour, he regretted the passing of the duel as
			the proper means of obtaining satisfaction.' Men who applied to work at Champion Lodge had
			first to box with their putative employer. Only those who showed spirit were considered. If he
			came across a tramp, who looked reasonably fit, Sir Claude would invite to box for a meal. His
			friends once dressed a professional boxer in rags and stationed him in Sir Claude's path. The
			inevitable challenge was given and accepted, and Sir Claude was duly severely beaten. He
			enjoyed the joke and continued to issue his challenges.
			****************
			For many years, Sir Claude was known as 'The Hangman Baronet', due to the fact that when
			he was Sheriff of Essex, he had taken his duties so seriously as to consider himself personally
			responsible for the proper and satisfactory hanging of a convicted murderer. As Sheriff, he
			was nominally entrusted in having the convicted man hanged, but although the actual
			execution of the sentence was carried into effect by the official executioner, Sir Claude
			mounted the scaffold with the executioner and the condemned man and supervised every
			detail until the condemned man was launched into eternity.
			Sir Vivian Tyrell Champion de Crespigny, 8th and last baronet
			"The Times" of 5 March 1952:-
			'Major Sir Vivian Tyrell Champion de Crespigny, Bt., aged 44, was found dead, shot through the
			the head, in his room at the officers' mess on Pulau Brani, an island off Singapore, this morning.
			He was to have faced a court-martial in Singapore on Friday. The burial took place at Pasir
			Panjang military cemetery today. He was the eighth and last baronet.
			"The Daily Mail" of the same date reports that 'An Army spokesman said today that Major Sir
			Vivian Tyrell Champion de Crespigny, 45 [sic], found earlier shot dead in Singapore, was to
			have appeared at a court-martial on Friday on a charge of drunkenness. He was buried in the
			military cemetery after the coroner had examined the body. Sir Vivian succeeded as eighth
			baronet in 1947. His first marriage, in 1930, to Miss Barbara Helen Dobb, was dissolved in 1940.
			His second, in 1943, to Miss Monica Fleming, was dissolved in 1947, and he then remarried his
			first wife. This marriage was dissolved in 1951.'
			The result of the inquest into his death was reported in "The Daily Mail" on 30 April 1952:-
			'A verdict of suicide was returned today at the inquest on Major Sir Vivian Tyrell Champion
			de Crespigny, aged 44, who was found dead last month in the bathroom of his quarters on
			Palau [sic] Brani, a small island near Singapore. Sir Vivian, the eighth baronet, was serving in
			the Royal Army Service Corps. Evidence by his commanding officer revealed that the major had
			been placed under open arrest since the middle of February.'
			The special remainder to the baronetcy of Chapman created in 1782
			From the "London Gazette" of 5 February 1782 (issue 12268, page 1):-
			'The King has been pleased to order Letters Patent to be passed under the Great Seal of the
			Kingdom of Ireland, containing a Grant of the Dignity of a Baronet of that Kingdom to Benjamin
			Chapman, of St. Lucy in the County of Westmeath, Esq; and the Heirs Male of his Body lawfully
			begotten, with Remainder to Sir Thomas Chapman, knight, Brother of the said Benjamin
			Chapman Esq; and his Heirs Male.'
			Sir Montagu Lowther Chapman, 3rd baronet
			Sir Montagu was aboard a 96-ton schooner, the "Favorite," which sailed from Melbourne bound
			for Sydney on 9 May 1852, but never arrived. No trace was ever found of the 21 people on
			board, 13 passengers and a crew of eight. The schooner was last seen during bad weather
			off Cape Howe, on the border between Victoria and New South Wales, and soon after this
			final sighting, a heavy gale set in.
			The following report appeared in 'The Standard' of 29 November 1852:-
			'Accounts have reached London from Australia, which, it is to be feared, leave little doubt
			that Sir Montagu Chapman, Bart, late member for Westmeath, has perished at sea off the
			coast, not far distant from Sydney. Sir Montagu, who is, or was the owner of an extensive
			and unencumbered estate in that county [Westmeath] had purchased a vast tract of land in
			New South Wales, upon which he had located some portion of his Irish tenantry, under very
			favourable circumstances. About three or four years since  he proceeded to the colony for
			the double purpose of recruiting his health by the voyage, and of inspecting the progress made
			by his agents in the arrangement of the property. Early in May last he left Sydney on a
			coasting voyage. The vessel in which he proceeded, in company with his relative, Mr.
			Fetherstone, a young gentleman also from the county of Westmeath, with some military officers
			and other passengers, was last seen on the 17th of May, but since that time there have been
			no tidings whatever of the vessel, and it is supposed that she has foundered at sea. Sir
			Montagu Chapman was unmarried.'
			A year after Sir Montagu's disappearance, 'The Morning Chronicle' of 18 May 1853 reported:-
			'A year having elapsed since the wreck of a vessel, in which Sir Montagu Chapman, Bart., had
			been a passenger from Melbourne to Sydney, and all efforts to discover any traces of him
			having failed, the members of his family have published an announcement of his death as having
			occurred on the 17th of May, 1852. His brother, now Sir Benjamin Chapman, has assumed the
			title, and will, of course, enter on possession of the extensive and valuable estates in this
			country [Ireland] and also in Australia. The late Sir Montagu Chapman had been for a
			considerable time one of the representatives for Westmeath; and when failing health had
			induced him to retire, his place was worthily supplied by the present baronet. Although they
			have ceased all connection with its representation, the Chapman family are still amongst the
			most active leaders of the Liberal party in that county. The late baronet had purchased a very
			large estate in Australia, which he had turned to the useful and benevolent purpose of settling,
			in comfortable circumstances, such of his numerous Irish tenantry as were anxious to emigrate
			to that fortunate region. A desire to look after their interests was one of the principal objects
			which led him to proceed to Australia, where he met with so melancholy a fate.'
			Sir John Corbin Chubb, 2nd baronet
			The first baronet, Sir Cecil Herbert Edward Chubb, was the last private owner of Stonehenge.
			He purchased it for £6,600 in 1915 from its previous owners, the Antrobus family, after the
			last heir to the Antrobus estates had been killed in France during WW1. In October 1918, he
			presented Stonehenge to the nation by a deed of gift. When he died in 1934, he was
			succeeded in the baronetcy by his only son. The Wikipedia entry relating to the first baronet
			states that, on his death in 1934, he left behind his wife and only daughter. This is somewhat
			misleading, since it fails to mention his son, John Corbin Chubb.
			Whereas the first baronet appears to have been a successful and public-spirited individual, the
			same cannot, unfortunately, be said about his son. His first appearance in court occurred in
			September 1937, when he was charged, together with a man named John Edward Howard,
			with inciting a film director named Frederick Graves to steal £5,000 by means of a trick.
			The following edited report of Sir John's subsequent trial appeared in "The Times" of 20
			November 1937:-
			'After a trial extending over two days Sir John Corbin Chubb, 33, of St. Mary Abbot's Court,
			Kensington, and John Edward Howard, 56, secretary, of Brixton Road, S.W., were found Guilty
			at the Central Criminal Court yesterday on an indictment charging them with unlawfully inciting
			Frederick Beresford Johnstone Graves, a film director, living in Kensington, to conspire with
			them and other persons to cheat and defraud such persons as might be induced to part with
			money or valuable securities to them.
			'It was alleged by the prosecution that Sir John Chubb asked Mr. Graves if he would be
			interested in doing some business with him, remarking that he wanted to find someone to
			discount a bill for £5,000. Mr. Graves said he had a friend who might do this. The following
			week Howard called on Mr. Graves and said he was a friend of Sir John Chubb. They both went
			to Sir John's flat and the bill was discussed. It was arranged that the three of them should pay
			a social visit to Mr. Graves's friend near Oxford and that the discounting of a bill should be
			mentioned casually.
			'Mr. Graves's suspicions were aroused and he communicated with the police, and two detective
			officers were concealed at his flat when a discussion took place between Mr. Graves and the
			two defendants.
			'[When] Sir John Chubb returned to the witness box [and was] questioned about the interview
			when the police officers were concealed at the flat and it was alleged that proposals were
			made to obtain money by confidence tricks from a friend of Mr. Graves, Sir John denied that
			anything was discussed except the bill of exchange. Sir John said that Howard was explaining
			to Mr. Graves what he had written about confidence tricks. The witness denied using any
			language indicating that he would be a participator in fraud of any kind or that he ever
			attempted to incite Mr. Graves to conspire with him to defraud anybody.'
			Reading between the lines, it is more than likely that Sir John was heavily influenced by
			Howard, who, according to evidence presented to the court, had nine previous convictions for
			various offences including forgery, obtaining goods by false pretences, larceny, receiving,
			conspiracy and house-breaking. The Recorder stated that he had no doubt at all that Howard
			was the instigator, but at the same time Sir John could easily have refrained from participating
			in Howard's scheme. His views were reflected in the sentences given - 6 months for Sir John
			and 18 months for Howard.
			Following a short-lived venture in promoting football pools, Sir John appeared in the Bankruptcy
			Courts in August and November 1939. In February 1940, he attempted to obtain a discharge
			from his bankruptcy, but his application was refused. At this hearing, the Assistant Official
			Receiver commented that Sir John "exhibited a vacancy of mind and dullness of understanding
			which might have been an assumed mask to conceal the reality of certain transactions. The
			facts indicated that the debtor had been the tool of stronger willed and unscrupulous persons,
			but they also showed that he had been a willing tool, ready to enter into any transactions
			from which he could derive some pecuniary benefit without inquiring too closely into the nature
			of the transactions or how the money obtained on the strength of his name was used."
			When he refused the discharge, the Registrar of the Bankruptcy Court remarked that Sir John
			"was either totally ignorant or that he had wilfully refused to be frank with the Court. He was
			either a fool or a rogue."
			Sir John was again before the Bankruptcy Courts in April 1943 and October 1949. When he died
			in May 1957, the baronetcy became extinct.
			Sir Simon Peter Clarke, 5th baronet [creation of 1617]
			Sir Simon Clarke and Lieutenant Robert Arnott were tried and convicted of highway robbery
			at the Winchester Assizes held in 1730. Both defendants were officers of the Royal Navy
			at the time of the offence.
			The Newgate Calendar states 'came on at Winchester, the trials of Sir Simon Clarke, Bart.,
			and Lieutenant Robert Arnott, who were convicted of a robbery on the highway. A numerous
			concourse of gentry were present. Sir Simon made a most pathetic and moving speech, which
			had such an effect, that there was scarce a dry eye in the court. The High Sheriff and Grand
			Jury, considering the antiquity, worth and dignity of Sir Simon's ancestors, the services they
			had done their king and country, together with the youth and melancholy circumstances of
			that unhappy gentleman, agreed to address his Majesty in their behalf, upon which a reprieve
			sine die, which implies for ever, was granted them.'
			It seems that the petition to the King on their behalf was successful in saving them from the
			death penalty, since, according to Cokayne's Complete Baronetage Sir Simon was punished
			by being transported to Jamaica, where he died in 1736.
			Sir Henry Augustus Clavering, 10th and last baronet
			Sir Henry does not appear to have allowed perceived ill manners to go unpunished, as is
			illustrated in the following report from 'The York Herald' of 23 August 1884:-
			'At Newcastle County Court on Monday [18 August 1884], an action was brought by Matthew
			Houston, sculptor, Newcastle, against Sir Henry Clavering, Bart., Axwell Park, for damages for
			an assault. The plaintiff stated that early on the morning of the 24th May he arrived by train
			in the Central Station, Newcastle, and went to the first-class refreshment room for a cup of
			coffee. Sir Henry Clavering was standing at the bar. Plaintiff twice complained to the barmaid of
			the quality and price of the coffee. On the second occasion the barmaid was talking to Sir
			Henry when he called her away. The defendant then came up and said "How dare you insult the
			lady? I will put you out." Plaintiff replied, "I don't know so much about that." Before anything
			further transpired Sir Henry seized him by the throat and forced him backwards on to the table.
			He nipped plaintiff's throat so hard that it became painful, and Sir Henry showed no signs of
			loosing his grip, two gentlemen came forward and took him away. Sir Henry said to him, "I am
			the master of Axwell Park. I am 60 years of age, but I can teach you manners yet." After that
			the defendant wanted to stand drinks, and make matters all right. Sir Henry Clavering said he
			was not the first to interfere with the plaintiff, who was drunk and behaving like a maniac.
			He came round to him (Sir Henry). Defendant remonstrated with him. The plaintiff raised his
			hand as if he would strike, and it was then that he (defendant) seized him by the throat and
			forced him back as described. His Honour said that technically Sir Henry had committed an
			assault. He would have to pay £2 10s 6d., including costs.'
