William Eddowes Turner a known British artist who was born in the early part of the 19th century in 1836 a year before Victoria became Queen. His paintings have been exhibited and sold in galleries & auction houses around the world. Turner was Christened at his local Church which was located just outside of Nottingham in the fall of that year 1836. His father was George Johnson Turner & he was married to his wife. His father died when Turner was a very young child which was so sad. His mother who was Betsy eventually remarried & they stayed together in Nottinghamshire. When Turner was a young man he was still living at home, he was so talented as he taught himself to paint especially animal subjects which was his greatest love.
He worked in various mediums though mainly in oil. He was known to have travelled to Newmarket as it was his greatest passion to paint horses. He did later himself get married to his first wife during the mid 1860’s. He had further sadness in his life as his first wife died, some years later he remarried to his second wife. He had 3 children. During the mid 1880’s he lived at 89 Blue Bell Hill in Nottinghamshire. He held exhibitions in the Royal Society of British Artists also in the British Institution. He passed away in Radford, Nottinghamshire in the early 20th century 1904 when he was around 65.
Lord Galway’s Hounds, the Galway hunt was named for Viscount Galway whose seat was at nearby Serlby Hall. The location of Serlby Hall is South West of Bawtry outside Doncaster. The estate’s origin can be sourced to the vanished village of Farwoth. During the medieval period Farworth part of the manor of Serlby found in the northern part of Nottinghamshire. The estate was bought by Lord Galway, he acquired it to celebrate his achievement of being raised to the peerage along with his marriage to the Daughter of the Duke of Rutland. He commanded the villagers of Farworth to be moved out to make room for his future planned gardens & walkways.
Biography of George Edmund Milnes Monckton-Arundell, 7th Viscount Galway (1844-1931) George Edmund Milnes Monckton-Arundell, C.B., was the only son of George Edward Arundell Monckton-Arundell, 6th Viscount Galway. He studied at Eton from 1858-63, then at Christ Church College, Oxford he read his degree in law and modern history in 1866. From 1872 until 1885 he was the Conservative M.P. for North Nottinghamshire.
He succeeded his father as 7th Viscount Galway in 1876. On the American Independence day 4 July in 1887 he was created Baron Monckton of Serlby, Nottinghamshire, in the peerage of the United Kingdom. He sat in the House of Lords. The 7th Viscount took many of the local positions usual for an aristocratic landowner of his rank, serving as a magistrate also Deputy Lieutenant for Nottinghamshire, and as an Alderman and Chairman of Nottinghamshire County Council. He was the Colonel-Commanding of the Notts (Sherwood Rangers) Yeomanry from 1882 to 1904, and was aide-de-camp to Queen Victoria, Edward VII and George V from 1897-1920. He took a keen interest in fox-hunting. He hunted at Oxford, and succeeded his father as Master of the Grove Hunt from 1876.
He retired as Master in 1907 but continued to allow Serlby to be used as kennels for the Hunt. He published a guide to mastership of hounds under the title A Pack of Foxhounds in 1925. Family He married in 1879 Vere (d 1921), only daughter of Ellis Gosling of Busbridge Hall, Surrey, and had George Vere Arundell Monckton-Arundell (1882-1943), later 8th Viscount Galway. His daughter was Violet Frances Monckton (1880-1930), married in 1904 Lt-Col. Geoffrey Henry Julian Skeffington Smyth, altered name by deed poll to fitzPatrick 1938.
The first mention of “Basset Hound” as the name for the breed to appear in British literature was in a letter from Lord Galway to Captain (later Major) C. Heseltine (of later Walhampton Bassets Pack fame). The continued breeding of Basset Hounds on a scientific basis began later that year when Lord Galway bred Basset to Belle. In Lord Galway's letter to Heseltine he stated, "In July 1866, I was staying at Royal, Puy de Dome, France where I met the Marquis de Tournon and his son, the Comte de Tournon. The latter promised me a pair of Basset Hounds from his pack, which duly arrived in the autumn at Serlby. They were a dog and bitch and I called them "Basset" and "Belle".
They were long, low hounds shaped much like a Dachshund, with crooked forelegs at the knees and with much more bone and longer heads than beagles. They were not the dark tan colour of Dachshunds but the colour of Foxhounds with a certain amount of white about them. They had deep heavy tongues more like Foxhounds than beagles." (spelling and grammar are as used by Lord Galway) It is interesting to note that Lord Galway capitalized Basset Hound as if he were giving a name to the breed. Since the bassets were always referred to as Basset Francais in France one could assume that Lord Galway actually gave our breed its name, but that’s something that can’t be proved inconclusively.
