Description
The top photograph is a full-length portrait of Sir Thomas Buckler Lethbridge, 2nd Baronet of Sandhill Park in the parish of Bishops Lydeard, Somerset, with his horse and dog (admittedly the latter is hard to find), dressed in the uniform of a Colonel Commandant of the West Somerset Yeomanry and seemingly at the site of what might be a battle. It was painted by Thomas Mogford, born in Exeter, Devon in 1809. 1838 was the first year that Mogford submitted three paintings to the Royal Academy, followed by three more in 1839, including the one of Lethbridge, which launched Thomas Mogford's career as a portrait artist (1). It probably helped that Sir Thomas Buckler Lethbridge was already something of a celebrity, well known as a Conservative MP representing Somerset, but also as a successful banker in Taunton and a promoter of the West Somerset iron industry. In 1819, Lethbridge had been appointed Colonel of the 2nd Somerset Militia (2) but actually does not seem to have participated in much (if any) military action. Mainly Lethbridge was a politician and a rural squire, owner of multiple farms and houses throughout western Somerset, including property at Stowey Farm and Old Stowey Farm, south of Timberscombe.
Members of the Lethbridge family had been settled for generations in Devonshire at the estates of Westaway and Workleigh Court near Barnstaple. The great grandfather of Sir Thomas Buckler Lethbridge, Thomas Lethbridge, Esquire, had married Sarah Periam, the daughter of John Periam, a member of Parliament for Minehead, who built Sandhill Park around 1720, situated northeast of the Quantock Hills with the Blackdown Hills to the south. By 1767, Christopher Lethbridge, the son of Thomas and Sarah, moved from Devon to Sandhill Park (3). Christopher's son, Sir John Lethbridge, the father of Sir Thomas Buckler Lethbridge, became the 1st Baronet of Sandhill Park in 1804, a title bestowed on him for paying off the gambling debts of the Prince Regent, George (known as "Prinny"), the eldest son of King George III (4).
Sir Thomas Buckler Lethbridge was the only son of Sir John Lethbridge, born at Sandhill Park in 1778. The second painting seen above was painted by Charles Gill (1742-1828) and is now in the collection of The Tate Gallery, London. It depicts Thomas at 6-years-old, with his sisters Dorothea, aged 4 to 5 and Frances Maria, aged 3 to 4 (5). Both girls married well, Dorothea in 1800 to Sir Henry Powell Collins, the member of Parliament for Taunton and Frances Maria to Sir Henry Rich, the 2nd Baronet of the Rich family of London (6). The Lethbridge children also had a half sister. Their father had an affair with Mary Jane Clairmont, which resulted in the birth of Claire Clairmont, who later was the mother of Allegra Byron, the illegitimate daughter of Lord Byron and a half-sister to Mary Shelley, author of the Gothic novel, "Frankenstein" (7).
Thomas Lethbridge attended Oxford (8) and at the age of 18 married Jacintha Catherine Hesketh of Rufford Hall, Lancashire. The third photograph is a charcoal portrait of Sir Thomas Lethbridge by Sir Thomas Lawrence (1769-1830), completed in 1796, the year of his marriage to Jacintha. They had a son, John Hesketh Lethbridge (who ultimately would be his heir and the 3rd Baronet) and two daughters. Jacintha Lethbridge, died in 1801 and in 1803, Sir Thomas married Anne Goddard, the daughter of Ambrose Goddard (c.1727-1815), the MP of Swindon in Wiltshire. Anne provided Thomas with two more sons and four more daughters (9). In 1818, Jacintha ("Jessy") Dorothea Lethbridge, the eldest daughter of Sir Thomas and his first wife, married Ambrose Goddard (1779-1854), the brother of her father's second wife (10).
In May 1806, when 28-years-old, Sir Thomas Buckler Lethbridge was elected one of the two MPs for Somerset. He was a member of the Conservative party, dislodging an already seated Conservative, William Gore Langton of Newton Park near Bath. As a Tory member of the Conservatives, Lethbridge became known as "Leatherbreeches" by the opposition. Suddenly in 1812, Sir Thomas quit Parliament because of a quarrel with his father (11). Sir John, who was described in 1806 as an "abominable profligate, a rustic roue, very rich and using his riches for the worst purposes" was threatening to disinherit his only son. Relations remain fraught over the next few years, yet on his deathbed in 1815, John Lethbridge reconciled with Thomas Lethbridge and tore up a will which would have banished him, physically and financially (12). Thus Thomas became the 2nd Baronet and he and his sisters were granted administration of the family estates (13).
With that secure, in 1818 Sir Thomas decided to reclaim his seat in Parliament but this time was unsuccessful in replacing the current sitting member-- once again, William Gore Langton, who had regained his position during Lethbridge's absence (14). During this time there had been a revival of anti-Catholic feelings, with the Conservatives advocating restrictions on Catholics such as not being allowed to serve as judges, or for that matter, MPs. William Gore Langton had consistently supported Catholic rights, which alienated him from many of his own party. Sensing an opportunity, Sir Thomas Lethbridge increased any anti-Catholicism prejudices he may have had, giving a speech stating that no restraints against Catholics should be lifted because "whenever they possessed power they never failed to abuse it". Gore Langdon was forced to retire and Lethbridge returned to Parliament (15). Interestingly, the son of William Gore Langton, also named William Gore Langton, in 1822 married Jacintha Frances Dorothea Collins, the daughter of Sir Thomas Lethbridge's sister, Dorothea (16). Family gatherings must have been fraught.
The conduct of Sir Thomas Buckler Lethbridge as an MP has been defined as "unpredictable", often voting with the Whig opposition, especially if what they were supporting also supported himself best (17). In January 1820, King George III died and the Prince Regent (Prinny) became King George IV at the age of 57. The new monarch had already been married secretly for 35 years to Maria Fitzherbert, which was not only illegal (only because Prinny had never told his father) but she was also Roman Catholic. The couple were apparently quite happy but as the heir to the throne, the necessity to provide a proper heir and being (again) deeply in debt, in 1795 the future king had been forced to marry his cousin, Caroline of Brunswick. He despised her but an heir, Princess Charlotte, was efficiently born nine months later--who sadly died in 1817, aged 21, giving birth to a stillborn child. However, in 1797, thinking an heir was in place, Caroline was offered £50,000 to stay out of the country. Nevertheless when Prinny became King George IV, officially Caroline was Queen Caroline. Doing their best to find a way to a divorce, the House of Lords brought charges against Caroline of an "adulterous connection with a foreigner"(her tall and handsome Italian chamberlain). These charges were very much supported by Sir Thomas Buckler Lethbridge-- after all, as Prince Regent, the new king had made it possible for him to be a 2nd Baronet. During her trial, Lethbridge gave a speech against Queen Caroline described by a Whig member as "effusive, furious and ungentlemanlike". On July 1821, Caroline was barred from the coronation--apparently she banged outside on the door--and perhaps for the best of all, the Queen fell ill and died three weeks later (18).
Historically, Lethbridge is best remembered for his staunch defence of the Corn Laws, tariffs and restrictions on imported food (not just corn), designed to keep prices high and thus intended to favour domestic growers. The price of food did rise but to the detriment of the public, especially the urban poor, who had to spend most of their money on food. Then with nothing left to spend on anything else, the Corn Laws also crippled British manufacturers and merchants. Those who benefited from high food prices were the nobility and large landowners, enhancing their profits--and their political powers (19). And certainly Sir Thomas Buckler Lethbridge was a major landowner, far beyond Sandhill Park and the family properties in Devon. At the time of his death, Lethbridge had properties in Devon, Dorset, Cornwall and Monmouthshire, with scores more throughout Somerset (20). Closer to Timberscombe Lethbridge owned houses, cottages, linhays, orchards and gardens that were parts of Old Stowey Farm, Stowey Farm and at Stowey Mill (21). In "History of the Hundred of Carhampton", written by James Savage and published in 1839, Sir Thomas Lethbridge was listed by name as having recently sold "considerable properties" in the same region to Sir Thomas Acland (22). Lethbridge also owned and leased farms in and around Brompton Regis, such as Lower Woolcotts, Lower and Higher Hollworthy and Cophold, as well as Goosemoor Farm in Exton (23). The income derived from these holdings were essential to Lethbridge and created "an unavoidable suspicion that throughout his career, private interests were a prime detriment of his erratic political course" (24).
The end of Lethbridge's MP career seems to have been prompted by the same political divide that launched it---the question of anti-Catholicism. By the summer of 1825 and especially when back in Somerset, Lethbridge was again escalating a "no Popery" campaign, predicting that the Protestant community would only be triumphant by voting for "anti-Catholic" principles. For the next few years he continued "to hold firm " and advocate strongly against "the demands of the Roman Catholics". In February and March 1829, Sir Thomas released a flurry of petitions urging Catholic repression. Suddenly though, on the 6th of March, he voted for Catholic emancipation. Lethbridge claimed he regretted differing from old friends but that it was necessary to do so to "maintain the great and vital interests of the country" (25).
The fourth photograph is of a hand-coloured etching by William Heath (1794-1840), an influential Scottish caricaturist and political cartoonist, published circa March 1829 (26) as a result of Lethbridge's turnaround. It depicts Sir Thomas --or as the caption reads "THOMAS LEATHERBREECHES the SOMERSETHIRE GRIMALDI"-- as Principal Performer of "The Grand New Pantomine called The Pope's Eye or Tricks & Changes". Anyone seeing the cartoon would recognise this was Lethbridge as Joseph Grimaldi (1794-1837), perhaps London's most popular actor, famous for his flair in roles portraying comic harlequinades. Lethbridge's suddenly dark hair and sideburns and his distinctive outfit would have been familiar to all as the costume of Grimaldi's most famous character, "Joey", a most foolish clown (27).
As Grimaldi, Leatherbreeches says "I know I'm a little changed but they want to Halter me entirely", while holding a halter-shaped rope. In truth, he was altered entirely and in June 1829, Sir Thomas Buckler Lethbridge told the Duke of Wellington, then serving as Prime Minister, that as his vote on the Catholic question had so alienated his supporters in Somerset, he would retire as MP at the next general election. At the same time Lethbridge requested a peerage, that he never received (28).
In February 1830, Sir Thomas purchased the Basing Park estate in Privett, Hampshire, stating it would become his permanent residence. He did build a new wing (29) but Sandhill Park and Somerset remained his focus. Lethbridge made an ill-advised attempt in 1837 to return to Parliament during the Bridgwater by-election. He received five votes (30).
Sir Thomas Buckler Lethbridge died on the 17th of October 1849, £88,700 in debt (the equivalent of over five million pounds in modern times) and was buried at Blessed Virgin Mary Churchyard at Bishops Lydeard, where his third son, the Rev. Thomas Prowse Lethbridge was Vicar (31). In 1834, Rev. Lethbridge had married Isabella Escott , daughter of Rev. Thomas Sweet Escott, Prebendary of Wedmore in Wells Cathedral (32). Their son, Charles Lethbridge married Susan Anne Yarburgh of Heslington Hall in Hampshire (33). Charles and Sarah's son, Ambrose Yarburgh Lethbridge, was born at Trull, Somerset (34), who in 1898 married Violet Murdock, of Hanover Square, London (35). Ambrose and Violet leased Knowle House at Timberscombe, where their son, Thomas Charles Lethbridge was born on the 23rd of March 1901 and was baptised at St. Petrock's Church on the following 16th of April (36). Thomas Charles became better known as T.C. Lethbridge, an author, explorer, parapsychologist and investigator of the occult, who is profiled at SP-311. Like his great great grandfather, Thomas Buckler Lethbridge, Thomas Charles Lethbridge was both renowned and controversial.
