Topic: Marton Frobisher


  
  To the Manor Born - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Written by Peter Spence and produced by the BBC, the series examines via humour not only the class snobbery and xenophobia of the British, but the role of the landed gentry in conserving the rural environment and traditions.
Audrey fforbes-Hamilton (Penelope Keith) takes control of her ancestral home Grantleigh Manor shortly after the death of her husband and cousin Marton fforbes-Hamilton, only to find that the estate is heavily in debt and that the creditors insist on selling the estate.
When the estate is put up for auction, she hopes that all her family members will rally around and raise the money to buy the estate, but she is unable to raise enough.

 Boyntons of Barmston and Burton Agnes
In 1310 Ingelram de Bovington gave to the canons of Helagh Park in frank-almoign, a toft and croft in Marton in Cleveland, which he bought from William, son of Aylmer, in the town of Marton, paying yearly to the donor and his heirs one penny at Easter.
Margaret, married to William Frobisher, of Finningley and Altofts, Recorder of Doncaster, by Christian, daughter of Sir Brian Hastings.
In his will dated 29th July and proved 2nd September, 1540, Matthew Boynton styles himself of Barmston, and desires that his body may be buried in the Church there, if he died in Yorkshire, and that he may be brought forth to his burial according to his degree, and after the custom of the country.

Each of the marriages that Kati Marton examines in this hugely appealing book offers up its own unexpected lessons about power and marriage, about the influence of presidential wives, and about the evolution of women’s roles in the twentieth century.
This fascinating history seamlessly moves from Elizabeth I's court to 19th-century whaling boats to the modern descendants of the Inuit whom both Frobisher and Hall encountered.
Frobisher was originally looking for a navigable route to China (1576), but later voyages (1577 and 1578) were strictly for the procurement of gold and the establishment of a British colony, "Meta Incognita." Hall was "called" north in 1860 to rescue the imagined survivors of Sir John Franklin's doomed 1845 expedition.

 Bawtry
The Roman route from Lincoln entered Notinghamshire at a ford across the Trent between Marton and Littleborough but soon left the county at another ford on The River Idle near Bawtry.
This was the site of the Battle of the River Idle in about 617 at which Rædwald became High King of Britain after defeating Æthelfrith, King of Northumbria.
Bawtry itself, lying just two miles south of and directly in line with the end of the runway may not feel quite the same in a few years though modern airliners are a good deal quieter than the V-bombers that used to be based here.

 PPS - Programme Preservation Society - Radio TellyScope 09 - To The Manor Born
Looking over the old lodge at the end of the manor drive, he glances out of the French windows, is immediately drawn to Grantleigh Manor as a house, and goes over to have a look, even though it isn’t even on the market at the time.
In Audrey’s case, this is initially just to stop her best school-friend and chum, Marjory Frobisher, from trying to seduce Richard.
Scatty, very much the giggly schoolgirl type, but with a heart of gold and always willing to muck in and help out with the various estate activities, Marjory was an excellent comic foil for both the leads, especially when she was trying to make a play for the 'dreamy' Richard.

The second son of James Cook, a Yorkshire labourer, and Grace his wife, he was born on the edge of the Cleveland Hills on February 27th, 1728, in the little village of Marton, which lies about four miles south-south-east of Middlesborough, and five miles west of the well-known hill and landmark, Roseberry Topping.
At the age of thirteen Cook, who, it is recorded, had had some elementary schooling both at Marton and Great Ayton, was apprenticed to one Sanderson, a draper and grocer of Staithes, a fishing village on the coast, about fourteen miles from Ayton and nine north-west of Whitby.
The king himself took great interest in it, and for the first time since Queen Elizabeth's age, when Davis, Frobisher, Drake, Narborough, and others, had gone on voyages of discovery, the pursuit was renewed.

Cook was defeated by ice, and Ann explains why ice and the "intricate geography of the archipelago" defeated so many people.
The book begins with the Elizabethan voyages of Frobisher, Davis and others, continues with those of Hudson, Baffin and the Hudson's Bay Company in the seventeenth century, and describes the attempts of Knight, Middleton and Hearne in the eighteenth century.
He was the first person sent to find "the North West Passage via the Pacific Ocean or 'Great South Sea', as it was sometimes called." He found the seas to the north of Bering Strait, separating Asia from America, "ice covered, not free of ice, as they had been led to believe."
