	Granville Leveson-Gower, 1st Marquess of Stafford - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gower's father, John Leveson-Gower, 1st Earl Gower, was a prominent Tory politician who became the first major Tory to enter government since the Hanoverian succession, joining the Carteret administration of 1742.
		Gower was associated with the faction of the Duke of Bedford, who was his brother-in-law, and as a member of that faction was given many governmental positions.
		Gower was frustrated by what he saw as the North administration's inept handling of the war, and he resigned from the cabinet in 1779.

	Duke of Sutherland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The subsidiary titles of the Duke of Sutherland are: Marquess of Stafford (created 1786), Earl Gower (1746), Earl of Ellesmere (1846), Viscount Trentham, of Trentham in the County of Stafford (1746), Viscount Brackley, of Brackley in the County of Northampton (1846), and Baron Gower, of Sittenham in the County of York (1703).
		The Marquessate of Stafford, the Earldom of Gower and the Viscounty of Trentham are in the Peerage of Great Britain, the Dukedom, the Earldom of Ellesmere and the Viscounty of Brackley in the Peerage of the United Kingdom, and the Barony of Gower in the Peerage of England.
		The title united with the ancient title of Earl of Sutherland after the first Duke and his wife, the holder of the Earldom, died, and the titles were inherited by the second Duke.

		Earl Gower), and by Dr. Edmund Stengel in 1886.
		It is to be noted that while Gower on several occasions freely censures the vices of the clergy of every rank, secular and regular, he expressly disassociates himself from all sympathy with the Lollards, and strongly denounces "lollardie" in his later writings.
		It was unfortunate for Gower's reputation that for more than two centuries he was constantly associated with Chaucer and mentioned along with him, both being taken as typical writers of English verse of the fourteenth century.

		Gower brought her news that the dog had been killed; Martha and her precious burden were outside, a mob of men, too.
		The earl's adroitness, averting a collision fatal or discomforting to both, disengaged him from an incumbent odium, of which, it need hardly be stated, neither the lady nor her attendant cavaliers had any notion at the hour of the assembly for the start for England on the bridge of Pont-y-pridd.

		Gower imagined the fun upon middle Thames: the vulcan face of Captain Abrane; the cries of his backers, the smiles of the ladies, Lord Fleetwood's happy style in the teeth of tattlean Aurora's chariot for overriding it.
		Gower's imagination, foreign to his desires and his projects, was playing juggler's tricks with him, dramatizing upon hypotheses, which mounted in stages and could pretend to be soberly conceivable, assuming that the earl's wild hints overnight were a credible basis.
		Gower, you have fifty minutes before you dress for dinner.' He thought only of the exceeding charity of the intimation; and he may be excused for his not seeing the feminine full answer it was, in an implied, unmeditated contrast.

		James Brindley was originally a millwright but in 1758 had done a survey for Earl Gower for a canal from Wilden Ferry on the River Trent to Stoke-on-Trent.
		This job had a double family connection to the Bridgewater Canal for not only was Earl Gower guardian to the Duke of Bridgewater but his agent Thomas Gilbert was the brother of the Duke's agent, John Gilbert.
		Earl Gower's canal to the Trent, also promoted by the potter Josiah Wedgwood, became the Trent and Mersey Canal (completed in 1777) with Brindley as its engineer until his death in 1772.

		The Family of the Earl of Gower is an excellent example of Angelica Kauffman's skill in handling complex, multifigure compositions and her tendency to give contemporary scenes a classical tone.
		The earl (later, marquess of Stafford) is the patriarch of this clan, gathered in a parklike setting and equipped with all manner of antique-style accoutrements-classically inspired costumes, a lyre, a scroll, floral garlands, a marble bust.
		On the earl's left sits his third wife, Susannah; on his right is his fourteen-year-old son and heir, George Granville.

		Limestone quarrying had certainly taken off by 1625, but it was not until the middle of the 18th century that the Industrial Revolution took off, and lime was needed in large supply as flux for iron smelting, that the trade flourished.
		Sir John Leveson was created Earl Gower in 1746, and his son Granville Leveson the second Earl Gower in 1754.
		His brother-in-law was Granville Leveson, Earl Gower, whose own coal mines and limestone quarries needed the advantage of modern transport.

	The John Gower Page
		You can pay a virtual visit to Gower's tomb by going to the website of Southwark Cathedral in London: this cathedral was, in Gower's day, the Priory of St. Mary Overeys, and Gower had a close association with it.
		In the decades immediately following his death, Gower was routinely mentioned alongside other Middle English poets, most notably Chaucer and John Lydgate, as a founder of the English poetic tradition.
		By this point Gower was relying on a combination of antiquarian interest and snob-appeal; it happened that the noble family of Gower believed themselves (erroneously) to be descended from John Gower the poet, and Todd dedicates his Illustrations to George Granville Leveson Gower, Marquis of Stafford.
