# National service of thanksgiving

A **national service of thanksgiving** in the United Kingdom is an act of Christian worship, generally attended by the British monarch, Great Officers of State and Ministers of the Crown, which celebrates an event of national importance. Originally it started with the intention to give thanks for victory in battle. However it evolved to celebrate occasions such as a royal jubilee, a royal wedding anniversary, or the end of a conflict. These services are usually held at St Paul's Cathedral in the City of London.

## History

In the Middle Ages, services of this kind were held in one of the Chapels Royal and were attended only by the members of the royal court, while members of the House of Lords simultaneously went to Westminster Abbey and the House of Commons, to St Margaret's, Westminster, for their respective thanksgiving services. However, in 1588, Queen Elizabeth I marked the defeat of the Spanish Armada by processing in a Roman-style chariot from Somerset House to Old St Paul's for a service of public thanksgiving. On her route, the queen entered the City of London at Temple Bar, where she was met by the lord mayor and aldermen, and was offered the sword of the City as a sign of fealty, a tradition which has been maintained to the present. During the service, the queen was seated in a royal box in the north aisle, from where she could hear the sermon which was preached just outside at St Paul's Cross to a huge crowd.

The custom was revived by Queen Anne in 1702 to give thanks for victory at the Battle of Vigo Bay at the newly rebuilt cathedral. As with the Armada thanksgiving, the service was preceded by a large cavalcade, which combined with the location at St Paul's, one of Europe's largest churches and England's first new-built Protestant cathedral, served to emphasise national power and unity. Rather than being concealed in a royal box, the queen was seated centrally on a raised dais. Six more of these services took place, celebrating various successes in the War of the Spanish Succession, but after 1708, Queen Anne preferred to attend thanksgivings at the Chapel Royal of St James's Palace, perhaps because of her ill-health or political considerations. However she did attend perhaps the grandest of these services in 1713 which celebrated the end of the war by the Peace of Utrecht. George Frederick Handel was commissioned to compose a *Te Deum* for the event, the first departure from the custom that music for royal occasions should be written by the musicians of the Chapel Royal.

Early in 1789, King George III unexpectedly recovered from a debilitating illness which had plunged the country into a constitutional crisis. George himself suggested that a thanksgiving service be held at St Paul's on St George's Day, 23 April. The short length of time available for preparation was exacerbated by the fact that nobody in office could remember the previous event in Anne's reign, 74 years earlier, and a hasty search of the archives was ordered. The royal dias used by Anne was brought out of storage and renovated. Initially, the prime minister, William Pitt the Elder, was opposed to a procession from St James's Palace for fear of anti-monarchist demonstrations, but on the day, an "immense" crowd cheered the king enthusiastically. The four-hour service started with 5,000 children from London's charity schools, seated in specially built stands under the dome, singing Psalm 100; apparently an innovation suggested by Queen Charlotte. A further thanksgiving service at St Paul's was arranged to celebrate George's Golden Jubilee on accession day, 25 October 1809, but the ailing king decided to attend a private service at St George's Chapel, Windsor instead. The St Paul's service was attended by the Lord Mayor and Corporation of London, who were nevertheless cheered on by large crowds.

At the start of the 1870s, there was an upsurge of republicanism in the United Kingdom. This was fuelled by a number of factors; Queen Victoria's neglect of public duties due to her extended mourning for Albert, Prince Consort, the wayward behaviour of Edward, Prince of Wales and finally a dispute about the large dowry allotted to Victoria, Princess Royal from public funds; all of this against the background of the Paris Commune. The recovery of Edward from a bout of typhoid fever was seized upon by the prime minister, William Gladstone, as an opportunity to improve the image of the royal family, and the queen and prince reluctantly agreed to a thanksgiving service at St Paul's. The service and carriage procession from Buckingham Palace was a resounding success, to the surprise of the queen who wrote that she had been "deeply touched and gratified... by the immense enthusiasm and affection exhibited". This was later considered to be a turning point in the fortunes of the British monarchy, and republican sentiment was marginalised for many decades. However, as Victoria's Golden Jubilee approached, the queen made it clear to her new prime minister Lord Salisbury, that she intended to have a more modest service at Westminster Abbey, to which Salisbury, with an eye on expenditure, was happy to agree.

Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897 was of a different order. Conceived by Colonial Secretary Joseph Chamberlain to be a great imperial extravaganza, the driving force behind the event was Reginald Brett (later Viscount Esher), the permanent secretary to the Office of Works. A return to St Paul's allowed for a grand procession through the capital, however it was found that the elderly queen would be unable to manage the steps of the cathedral. A proposal to manhandle the royal carriage into the church were discarded in favour of holding a short service outside the west front. The clergy, choir and important guests were arrayed on the cathedral steps, while the queen remained seated in her carriage. Despite her debility, the queen endured a lengthy carriage ride which on its return, crossed London Bridge and passed through the deprived district of Southwark.

Thanksgiving services have remained popular spectacles; the 1977 Silver Jubilee of Elizabeth II attracted an estimated crowd of one million spectators along the route of the procession, in which the queen rode in the Gold State Coach, while the British television audience for the 2012 Diamond Jubilee service was 4.5 million viewers for the BBC alone, the event was also broadcast by ITV News and Sky News.

## Liturgy

The liturgy of services in London are conducted by the Church of England and follow the format of the Anglican Daily Office from the Book of Common Prayer. They usually include the singing of the *Te Deum*, a canticle which has traditionally been used in Western Christianity for national rejoicing. The service may also include a Psalm, an anthem, readings from the Bible and a sermon. Services in Edinburgh are under the auspices of the Church of Scotland. Although these services are conducted by the established churches in England and Scotland, efforts towards the inclusion of other Christian denominations and other faiths started for the thanksgiving service in 1872 when invitations were sent to representatives of the Nonconformist churches, Cardinal Manning, the Catholic Archbishop of Westminster and Hermann Adler, the Chief Rabbi. Recent developments have included the active participation of faiths and beliefs other than Christianity; at the 2023 Honours of Scotland service in Edinburgh, blessings and statements of affirmation were made by representatives of Islam, Hinduism, Judaism, Tibetan Buddhism and Humanism.

# Moot Hall, Elstow

The **Moot Hall**, also known as the **Green House**, is a medieval structure on The Green in Elstow, Bedfordshire, England. The structure, which currently operates as a museum, is a Grade II\* listed building.

## History

The building was originally commissioned as a market hall to serve Elstow Abbey. It was designed in the Tudor style, built in timber frame in-filled with wattle and daub and was completed around 1500. The original design involved an asymmetrical main frontage of four bays facing onto Church End. On the ground floor, the first three bays from the west end featured round headed doorways which provided access to the original shop units. The first floor involved extensive use of jettied timber framing allowing the creation of extra space for the meeting room on that floor. The building was fenestrated by bi-partite casement windows on the ground floor and by single casement windows on the first floor. The roof was formed by rows of clay tiles.

In addition to being used as a manorial court, the room on the first floor was used for hearings of the court of piepowders which resolved commercial disputes among merchants. Following the dissolution of the monasteries, the estate was leased to Edward Harvey. His daughter, Isabel Harvey, married the local member of parliament, Humphrey Radcliffe, and in July 1553, he was granted ownership of the estate.

The building was extended to the east by an extra bay later in the 16th century, and, around the same time, the wattle and daub was replaced by bricks. The estate was then acquired by a local squire, Sir Thomas Hillersden, in 1616. The moot hall was one of the venues at which the writer, John Bunyan, who was born in the village, developed his nonconformist ideas in the mid-17th century.

The estate was then acquired by the brewer, Samuel Whitbread, in 1792. The Whitbread family allowed a religious group known as "the Congregation of the Bunyan Meeting" to use the moot hall for their meetings during much of the 19th century. Major Simon Whitbread presented the Moot Hall to Bedfordshire County Council in 1950 and council restored the building as part of their celebrations for the Festival of Britain. It became a museum displaying items related to John Bunyan in 1951 and works of art in the museum include a painting by Andrew Geddes depicting Bunyan in prison.

Built in 1833, it is a prominent visual landmark in the village, and a good local example of Federal period church architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

## Architecture and history

The Waterbury Center Community Church is in the village of Waterbury Center, on the east side of Vermont 100, a short way north of its junction with Hollow Road. It is a two-story brick building, with a gabled roof. A simple two-stage wood-frame tower rises from the roof ridge, with a plain square first stage, octagonal belfry stage, and steeple. The main facade is three bays wide, with windows set in rectangular openings topped by blind segmented-arch recesses. The main entrance is a double door, topped by a flat brick header. In the gable, there is a half-round fan. The interior originally was a single large space with gallery above, but a full second floor was built in 1858. Elements of the original box pews were used at that time to divide the lower level into a number of spaces, including a kitchen.

The church was completed in 1833, and was built out of brick similar to that used in other nearby period houses. Its stained glass windows were donated in 1894, and in 1919 the congregation merged with that of the local Baptists. The Waterbury Center Community Church was formally incorporated in 1963. The building is a well-preserved example rural Federal period architecture.

# National Institute for Research in Nuclear Science

The **National Institute for Research in Nuclear Science** was a UK Government establishment that provided equipment and facilities for nuclear research that would otherwise be beyond the financial capability of individual universities and other nuclear research establishments. It operated from 1957 to 1965.

## Establishment

The Institute was established in March 1957 by the UK Government after consultation with the University Grants Committee, the Atomic Energy Authority and Government Research Departments. It had four objectives:

* to provide common facilities beyond the scope of individual universities and institutions carrying out research in nuclear science;
* to encourage the use of the facilities by scientists from universities, the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA), and industrial laboratories;
* to co-operate with UKAEA to address specific problems requiring the use of these facilities;
* to develop the Institute as a national asset for training scientists and engineers, and to disseminate scientific and technical knowledge.

The Institute was granted its Royal Charter on 7 May 1958.

## Governance

The governing board comprised:

* Chairman (Lord Bridges);
* 7 members representing Universities;
* 2 members representing the University Grants Committee;
* 1 member representing the Royal Society;
* 3 members representing the UKAEA;
* 2 members representing the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research*.*

## Operation

The Institute’s first laboratory was the Rutherford High Energy Laboratory adjacent to the UKAEA Site. Equipment at the laboratory included a proton linear accelerator and a synchrotron. It was envisaged that the machines would be operated by Institute staff for research workers.

In 1961 the Rutherford Laboratory of the National Institute for Research in Nuclear Science assumed responsibility for developing particle accelerators, from the Atomic Energy Research Establishment at Harwell. The annual budget for the National Institute in 1961 was £6,211,000.

A second laboratory was opened at Daresbury near Warrington in 1962.

The model developed by the National Institute of providing expensive equipment for the use of researchers was adopted elsewhere. The Advisory Council on Scientific Policy suggested that a number of national institutes should be established, for example in Radio Astronomy.

The rationalisation of the structure of government sponsored civil science was proposed in 1963. However, the change of government in 1964 delayed the implementation of the necessary legislation.

### Dissolution

The Science and Technology Act 1965 established the Science Research Council. The Council took over the functions of the National Institute for Research in Nuclear Science, and established a Nuclear Physics Board which supervised the activities formerly undertaken by the National Institute.

The documentary records of the National Institute for Research in Nuclear Science are held by The National Archives in class AY 33.

# National Union (Italy, 1924)

The **National Union** (*Unione Nazionale*) was an anti-fascist political party founded by Giovanni Amendola in the aftermath of the Giacomo Matteotti murder (10 June 1924) and the Aventinian secession (26 June 1924).

## History

On 8 November 1924, at the impulse of the liberal-democratic leader Giovanni Amendola, a group of anti-fascist politicians, professionals and intellectuals met to form a political association representing those principles of freedom and democracy, "the foundation of Unification of Italy and the struggles of the Risorgimento, prevaricated and persecuted by the rising fascist regime". The National Union had been preceded by a series of regional unions including the Southern Union (Unione Meridionale), founded by Amendola himself in Naples on 21 May 1924. In the elections of 1924, the party, presented in the form of regional lists, won 8 seats (all in the southern Italy).

The new political party, called the "National Union of Liberal and Democratic Forces", was joined by personalities from different political backgrounds such as the liberal-democrats Nello Rosselli and Luigi Einaudi, radicals like Giulio Alessio, social democrats like Ivanoe Bonomi, Meuccio Ruini and Luigi Salvatorelli, independents like Carlo Sforza, and, later, republicans like the young Ugo La Malfa. Among the signatories of the document there were eleven deputies, sixteen former deputies and eleven senators, who formed a political group.

In June 1925, the movement held its first (and only) Congress in Rome; later changed its name to "National Democratic Union".

On 20 July 1925 Giovanni Amendola was attacked by a fascist squads in the locality of La Colonna in Pieve a Nievole (in the province of Pistoia) and never recovered from the aggression: he died in Cannes on 7 April 1926 and the National Union itself did not outlive its leader. On 6 November 1926, the National Fascist Party was proclaimed the only legal party in Italy and the National Union was dissolved.

Also, there is a hill near Glenviggan named Crocanlocha and "the Gaelic words bhig gleann [means] 'small glen'." Although there is evidence of human settlement from the Bronze Age, the agricultural valley was virtually uninhabited until c. 1832. Bog iron ore was mined there in the mid-19th century, which was red enough to be suitable for paint.

## Business history

Victor Vivaudou, the owner, was born in Cannes, France, on January 2, 1881. He travelled to the US with his mistress Rosa on the *Lusitania* on September 12, 1914, setting up V. Vivaudou Inc. in the Times building in 1915. He and three other investors also founded Meridian Motors, a Manhattan autos and appurtenances company, which was chartered in January 1917.

A new company was incorporated with V. Vivaudou as its president in September 1919. An underwriting syndicate was formed headed by J. S. Bache & Co. and S. M. Schatzkin. The underwriting syndicate was dissolved in mid-September 1919.

The corporation had an initial capital outlay of $12,000, and maintained its headquarters at the New York Times Building.

V. Vivaudou Inc. was listed on the New York Stock Exchange beginning on May 5, 1920. It issued 300,000 shares of capital stock. Company stockholders approved an increase of common stock from 340,000 to 500,000 shares on January 5, 1926. The shares were changed from $10 to no par value. They agreed to an issuance of 25,000 shares of 7 per cent preferred stock with $100 par value. In November 1920 V. Vivaudou, Inc., reduced its dividend from .50 to .25 per share to conserve cash, in order to meet expansion in the United States and Europe. It reported earnings of $288,430 for the quarter ending on October 31, 1920. The sum translated to $4 per share prior to accounting for taxes.

Victor Vivaudou pleaded guilty to smuggling before a United States federal judge in New York City, on November 1, 1920. Vivaudou and Rosa failed to declare a $10,000 necklace and a $500 diamond ring, which they purchased in France, in March 1920. Vivaudou was fined $5,000.

In November 1921 the corporation reported a decline in earnings. Its gross profit of $1,153,185 was below that of the previous year's $2,031,861. Gross sales amounted to $4,100,124. V. Vivaudou, Inc., announced a 60% increase in sales in the first quarter of 1922. In August 1922 the firm stated that it had paid off the last of its bank loans and was debt free. Net profit for 1922 was $592,947, and approximately $770,000 for the first ten months of 1923. By mid 1924 V. Vivadou Inc., reported a sharp decline in profits, largely due to losses incurred by its French subsidiaries. Victor Vivaudou was ousted as president of V. Vivaudou Inc., by Jules Bache and David Schulte following disputes over conspiracy and fraudulent misrepresentation.

## Vadsco subsidiary

By 1943 V. Vivaudou of Canada and California was a subsidiary of Vadsco Sales Corporation. Vadsco expanded during World War II through the growth of Kny-Scheerer, a subsidiary which manufactured surgical instruments. Vadsco subsidiaries also produced perfumes, talcum and other products.

title: Much Sounding of Bugles

abstract: Much Sounding of Bugles: The Siege of Chitral 1895 is a book written by John Harris and originally published by Hutchinson & Co. Publishers Ltd. at London in 1975. The book presents a vivid chronicle of the Chitral Campaign and the heroic efforts of the British Indian Army in 1895. It narrates how Queen Victoria rules over nearly a quarter of the Earth's land surface, with the brightest jewel in her crown being India. Yet the might of the Raj is not to go unchallenged in the high mountains of the Hindu Kush. The State of Chitral which had till then existed as a buffer between British and Russian spheres of influence and tilted towards the Government of India in the second half of the 19th century, with the death of the Mehtar of Chitral in 1892 descends into civil war. A small British force led by Surgeon-Major George Scott Robertson is caught up in the Fort at Chitral which was to come under siege for seven weeks while a relief force was organised. The book narrates the follies of a vanished age.

***Much Sounding of Bugles: The Siege of Chitral 1895*** is a book written by John Harris and originally published by Hutchinson & Co. Publishers Ltd. at London in 1975. The book presents a vivid chronicle of the Chitral Campaign and the heroic efforts of the British Indian Army in 1895. It narrates how Queen Victoria rules over nearly a quarter of the Earth's land surface, with the brightest jewel in her crown being India. Yet the might of the Raj is not to go unchallenged in the high mountains of the Hindu Kush. The State of Chitral which had till then existed as a buffer between British and Russian spheres of influence and tilted towards the Government of India in the second half of the 19th century, with the death of the Mehtar of Chitral in 1892 descends into civil war. A small British force led by Surgeon-Major George Scott Robertson is caught up in the Fort at Chitral which was to come under siege for seven weeks while a relief force was organised. The book narrates the follies of a vanished age.

## Overview

Following the death of the Chief of Chitral Aman ul-Mulk in 1892, power in the state changes hands several times in the next few years. In early 1895, when it seems that the situation is finally coming back to normalcy the reigning Chief is murdered and conflict over the succession once again erupts. A small British force ends up being besieged in the Chitral Fort. The book presents a graphic account of the build up and the actual siege before elucidating how it is lifted. The intervention of Umra Khan a Pathan Chief, during this period of uncertainty, brings an unexpectedly large hostile forces on the scene. The British force at Chitral fights the invaders but are heavily outnumbered and forced to retreat into the Chitral Fort. The besieged forces then spend a month and a half defending an aging fort with rationed supplies and limited ammunition.

Meanwhile two forces are dispatched to relieve the siege. An army of some 15,000 under the command of General Sir Robert Low set out from near Peshawar, fighting battle along the way, when met with resistance from the locals. Another smaller army under the command of Colonel James Graves Kelly marches from Gilgit over the Shandur Pass, bringing with it two mountain guns as it marches through the snow and a series of defiles.

The author switches between the different fronts to maintain suspense and generally tells a good story. John Harris offers a glimpses of the Great Game, an old-fashioned defense of British imperialism, and repetition of contemporary clichés.

# Metropolitan Railway electric multiple units

**Metropolitan Railway electric multiple units** were used on London's Metropolitan Railway after the lines were electrified in the early 20th century.

After a joint experiment with the District Railway with which they operated the inner circle in London, a four rail DC system was chosen. The first Metropolitan Railway electric multiple units ran on 1 January 1905 from Uxbridge to Baker Street, the circle service began a full electric service on 24 September 1905 and an electric service started on the joint Hammersmith and City line on 5 November 1906.

More trains were purchased in 1915 and 1921 to replace and supplement those operating the circle service. In 1927-33 compartment stock was built for use on the Extension line out of Baker Street through Harrow.

In 1933 the railway was amalgamated with the other London underground railway companies to form the London Passenger Transport Board. The older stock was withdrawn after replacement by the O Stock in the 1930s, the Circle stock was renovated and was later replaced by P Stock in 1950 and the units which ran on the Extension line were standardised and designated T Stock, and later replaced by A Stock in 1963.

## Electrification

The Metropolitan Railway was opened in 1863 with wooden carriages hauled by steam locomotives, but at the start of the 20th century the railway was seeing increased competition in central London from the new Underground Electric Railways of London (UERL) tube lines and the use of buses. The use of steam underground led to smoke-filled stations and carriages which was unpopular with passengers, and conversion to electric traction was seen as the way forward.

Because of the jointly operated *Inner Circle* co-operation with the District Railway was essential. A jointly owned experimental train of six coaches was tested on passenger service on an Earl's Court to High Street Kensington shuttle in 1900. Composed of four trailers and two motor cars this had pick up shoes which made contact with conductor rails energised at 600 V DC on both sides of the track. Although the motor cars were connected by a bus line, there was no multiple working, meaning only the leading motor car was powered.

The experiment was considered a success, and following tenders a 3000V AC system was recommended by the electrification joint committee, and this was accepted by both parties until the American led UERL took control of the District. The group was led by Charles Yerkes, whose experience in the United States led him to favour DC, with conductor rail similar to that in use on the City & South London Railway and Central London Railway. After arbitration by the Board of Trade a DC system with four rails was taken up and the railways began electrifying their routes, using multiple-unit stock and electric locomotives hauling carriages.

## Early units

The first order was placed with Metropolitan Amalgamated in 1902 for 50 trailers and 20 motor cars, which were intended to run as ten 7-car trains, although due to problems with platform lengths these ran as 6-car trains. They were open saloon cars with access at the ends via open lattice gates. The units had two motor cars which were equipped with Westinghouse electric equipment and four 150 hp (110 kW) motors, and ran off-peak as 3-car units with a motor car and a driving trailer. Twenty 6-cars trains were ordered for the Hammersmith & City line that the Met jointly operated with the Great Western Railway with Thomson-Houston equipment (BTH) and GE76 150 hp motors. In 1904 an order was placed for a further 36 motor cars and 62 trailers with an option for a further 20 motor cars and 40 trailers. However problems with the Westinghouse equipment (BWE) meant when the option was taken up Thomson-Houston equipment (BTH) was specified, but more powerful 200 hp (150 kW) GE69 motors were fitted.

The first electric multiple units ran on 1 January 1905 from Uxbridge to Baker Street, the Uxbridge branch having opened in July 1904 and worked by steam for six months. After problems with the Metropolitan shoegear on the District Railway were solved the inner circle began a full electric service on 24 September 1905, reducing the travel time from seventy to fifty minutes, and an electric service started on the Hammersmith and City line on 5 November 1906.

The trains had first and third class accommodation with electric lighting and heating. However, it was quickly found that the lattice gates left the coach ends exposed when working in the open and the cars were modified with vestibules from 1906. Having access only from the end of the coaches was a problem on the busy circle line and centre sliding doors were added from 1911. Up to 1918 the motor cars with the more powerful GE69 motors were used on the Circle line with three trailers.

In 1910 two motor cars were modified with driving cabs at both ends. One had 150 BWE equipment and the other 150 BTH, and they started work on the Uxbridge shuttle service, before being transferred to the Addison Road shuttle in 1918. From 1925 to 1934 these vehicles worked between Watford and Rickmansworth.

## GN&C Stock

In 1913 the Metropolitan bought the Great Northern and City Railway which ran from Finsbury Park directly into the City of London at Moorgate. It operated with electric multiple units and the original GN&C Stock operated on the line between 1904 and 1939.

## M and N Stock

Following electrification there were surplus carriages. The Ashbury bogie stock had been built recently and from 1906 some of these carriages were converted into multiple units. Initially two 4-car rakes were converted by fitting control equipment and cabs to run with 150 BWE motor cars. It was found these were underpowered and the carriages were modified to use the more powerful 200 BTH motor cars. In 1907 these motor cars were needed on the inner circle services so four bogie carriages were converted into motor cars using 150 BWE equipment to make 2 x 6-car units. These were known as N stock and used on Uxbridge services until 1932 when they were reduced to four car units and transferred to the Stanmore branch.

Two M stock 7-car units were built from Ashbury bogie stock by fitting control equipment and cabs and 200 BTH and GE 69 motors and these were later lengthened to 8-car by adding another carriage.

## Circle Stock

In 1913 the Metropolitan needed additional stock to serve the East London Railway, and it had introduced through running at Baker Street. An order was placed for 23 motor cars and 20 trailers, saloon cars with sliding doors at the ends and the middle. All motor cars were ordered with 200 BWE equipment, but ten were installed on the electric locomotives and thirteen motor cars entered service with 200 BWE equipment and ten with 200 BTH equipment with GE69 motors, and worked with earlier stock on the circle and mainline services.

In 1921 the electric equipment was replaced on the locomotives and the 200 BWE and 86M traction motors recovered were fitted to 20 new motor cars. These were ordered with 33 trailers and 6 first class driving trailers with three pairs of double sliding doors down both sides, and introduced on circle services.

After London Underground was formed in 1933 the Circle stock was renovated, painted in a red and cream livery and the traction motors replaced a year later at Acton Works. All had been withdrawn by 31 December 1950 after being replaced by O Stock.

## W, MV & MW stock

In 1927–33 multiple unit compartment stock was built in batches by Metropolitan Carriage and Wagon and Birmingham Carriage and Wagon to be used on electric services from Baker Street and the city to Watford and Rickmansworth. The first order was only for motor cars; half had Westinghouse brakes, Metro-Vickers control systems and four MV153 motors rated at 275 horsepower (205 kW); they replaced the motor cars working with bogie stock trailers in the 'W' units. The rest of the motor cars had the same motor equipment but used vacuum brakes instead, and worked with converted Dreadnoughts of the 1920/23 batches to form 'MV' units. The 'MW' stock was ordered in 1929, 30 motor coaches and 25 trailers similar to the 'MV' units, but with Westinghouse brakes to make five 7-car trains. A further batch of 'MW' stock was ordered in 1931, this time from Birmingham Railway Carriage & Wagon Company. This was to make 7 × 8-coach trains, and included additional trailers to increase the previous 'MW' batch to 8-coaches. These had GEC WT545 motors, and although designed to work in multiple with the MV153, this did not work well in practice.

After the Metropolitan Railway became part of London Underground, the MV stock was fitted with Westinghouse brakes and the cars with GEC engines regeared to allow these to work in multiple with the MV153 engined cars. In 1938 9 × 8-coach and 10 × 6-coach MW units were redesignated London Underground T Stock. This was replaced by the A Stock, with the final train running on 5 October 1962. The Spa Valley Railway is home to two T-Stock carriages.

P Stock was ordered to replace the remaining Metropolitan multiple units. A combination of 3-car units and 2-car units to run in six and eight car lengths were delivered from July 1939. Two trailers were included in an eight car formation, but these were designed to allow conversion to motor cars at a later date after improvements to the power supply. F Stock trains had been built for the District Railway in the early 1920s. In the 1950s a number became available for use on the Metropolitan line and mainly worked the semi-fast Harrow and Uxbridge services and ran on the East London line as modified four-car sets.

## Stock transferred to the London Underground

In 1933 when the Metropolitan amalgamated with the other London underground railway companies to form the London Passenger Transport Board it operated with the following stock.

| Class | Number | Formation | Motor cars | Comments |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

# Glenstal Abbey

**Glenstal Abbey** is a Catholic Benedictine monastery of the Congregation of the Annunciation located in Murroe, County Limerick, Ireland. It is dedicated to Saint Joseph and Saint Columba. In July 2024, Columba McCann was elected to serve as the seventh abbot of the community.

## History

The abbey is located in and beside Glenstal Castle, a Normanesque castle. The house was built for Sir Matthew Barrington, who, in 1818, purchased part of Lord Carbery's Limerick estate. Designed as a castle in 12th century style, it was built in the 1830s. The village of Glenstal grew from the construction of the abbey. Many of the builders and craftsmen who came to construct the Abbey ended up settling in the area.

Sir Charles Burton Barrington, 5th Baronet inherited the estate from his father in 1890. In 1921, his daughter, Winifred, was killed in an IRA ambush of a Royal Irish Constabulary inspector with whom she was traveling. The family then decided to relocate to Fairthorne Manor in Hampshire, England.

Barrington first offered the property to the Irish Free State for a presidential residence, but in light of the anticipated cost of maintenance, the government declined. In 1925, at the suggestion of Fr Richard Devane, professor at St Patrick’s College, Thurles and John Harty, Archbishop of Cashel and Emly, Monsignor James J. Ryan, retired president of St. Patrick's College, purchased the estate from the family with the intent to establish a Benedictine school there.

The abbey came into being in 1927 when the chapter of Maredsous Abbey in Belgium accepted the Ryan's offer to donate the estate for a monastery there. Later that year a superior, Fr. Bernard O’Dea, was appointed and the founding monks were chosen. They arrived in Glenstal in May 1927. The abbey was canonically erected on 18 December 1927. The monks became legal owners of the estate in January 1928 after receiving the deeds. The monastery runs an all-boys boarding secondary school on its grounds, Glenstal Abbey School, home to approximately two hundred students.

Like many other religious organisations, Glenstal Abbey was faced with allegations of child abuse. Since 1975 ten accusations against six monks were filed. In a 2014 report The National Board for Safeguarding Children (NBSC) stated that the Benedictine community handled these accusations well with proper action, including removal from monastic life and treatment.

The abbey released commercial Gregorian chant albums in the late 1990s as The Monks of Glenstal Abbey, also contributing to the multi-platinum-selling *Faith of our Fathers* in 1996. The monks of Glenstal Abbey, feature as part of the interval act during the 1995 Eurovision Song Contest, in Dublin, *Lumen*, composed by Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin who has a long association with the Abbey.

## Alumni

## Grounds

The picturesque grounds include lakes, forests and an old walled, terraced garden which features a "bible garden". From 1986 Dr. Brian P. Murphy OSB worked with volunteers, restoring the gardens; he also published a book in 2004 on the history of *Glenstal Abbey Gardens*. The abbey also runs a 250-acre (100 hectare) dairy farm.

## Abbots / Priors

Currently, Abbots are elected for an eight-year period. Before 1957, the superior had the title of prior. From 1927 until 1945 the prior was appointed by the parent abbey Maredsous in Belgium.

* Prior Bede Lebbe OSB (to 1938)
* Prior Idesbald Ryelandt OSB (1938–1945)
* Prior Bernard O’Dea OSB (1945–1952)
* Prior Placid Murray OSB DD (1952–1957)

# Ned Porter

**Edward Porter** (25 April 1912 – 2 May 1978) was an Irish hurler. At club level he played with Brian Dillons, Glen Rovers and Seandún and was also a member of the Cork senior hurling team. Porter usually lined out as a goalkeeper.

## Club career

Born in the Dillon's Cross area on the northside of Cork, Porter first played hurling at juvenile and underage levels with the Brian Dillons club. By 1931 he had progressed onto the club's junior team. Porter quickly established himself as the team's first-choice goalkeeper and won three successive City JHC titles in that position between 1936 and 1938. The last of these victories was converted into a Cork JHC title after a defeat of Cloughduv in the 1938 final. Porter's performances for his club earned a call-up to divisional side Seandún.

Porter transferred to the nearby Glen Rovers club in 1941 and was an unused substitute on the team that beat Ballincollig in that year's senior final. He remained with the club for only a few seasons, lining out in the full-back line due to the dominance of Dave Creedon in goal. Porter eventually ended his club career back with the Brian Dillons club.

## Inter-county career

Porter's performances at club level earned his inclusion on the Cork junior hurling team. He was an unused substitute during Cork's unsuccessful 1934 Munster JHC campaign. After a number of seasons off the team, Porter was back with the junior team as first-choice goalkeeper for the 1939 Munster JHC. AFter the Cork junior team's exit from the championship, he was immediately drafted onto the Cork senior hurling team and was an unused substitute when Cork beat Limerick in the 1939 Munster final. Porter was again listed amongst the substitutes for Cork's 1939 All-Ireland final defeat by Kilkenny.

After missing the 1940 Munster JHC, Porter was once again back with the Cork junior team for the All-Ireland series. He claimed his first national silverware when Cork beat Galway in the 1940 All-Ireland junior final. Porter replaced Jim Buttimer as first-choice goalkeeper with the senior team in advance of the 1942 Munster SHC. After claiming a Munster Championship medal on the field of play, he ended the season by winning an All-Ireland medal following Cork's defeat of Dublin in the 1942 All-Ireland final.

## Death

Porter died at his residence in Dillon's Cross on 2 May 1978, aged 66.

# Margaret Kerry

**Margaret Kerry** (née **Lynch**; born May 11, 1929) is an American screen actress, dancer, voice artist, camera double, radio producer, director and host and media personality, best known for her work as a model for Walt Disney Pictures, where she served as the inspiration and pantomimed the *Peter Pan* character of Tinker Bell.

## Early life

Born as Peggy Lynch, in Springfield, Illinois, she was adopted at three years old and moved to Los Angeles. Her first role was as a fairy in the 1935 film *A Midsummer Night's Dream* directed by Max Reinhardt. She worked under her real name as a dancer and actor in three of the *Our Gang* comedy shorts.

Kerry served as a camera double for Elizabeth Taylor in film *National Velvet* at MGM. She attracted the attention of Eddie Cantor, who cast her in the role of his teenage daughter in the film *If You Knew Susie*. Cantor thought Lynch needed a more theatrical-sounding name to be more noticeable as an actor, so she officially became Margaret Kerry. She graduated from high school with honors while working on the film and would later graduate *cum laude* from Los Angeles City College.

## Career

### Television work/voice artistry

Kerry as a teenager played the role of "Sharon" in the first network sitcom, *The Ruggles*, on ABC-TV. The show's farewell episode at the end of its three-year run featured Sharon's wedding and honeymoon. Kerry also appeared in two episodes of *The Andy Griffith Show*, and in 1950 as 'Jane Carter' in *The Squire* episode of *The Lone Ranger*. A voiceover performer with twenty-one dialects and forty-eight character voices, Kerry provided voices on 52 episodes of the groundbreaking children's television show, *Clutch Cargo*, including characters "Paddlefoot" and "Spinner". She provided numerous voices and live-action lead-ins for *The New Three Stooges* and *Space Angel* animated series for Cambria Productions.

### Work with Disney

Kerry answered an audition call during the planning stages of the animated feature film *Peter Pan*. The audition, supervised by animator Marc Davis, required her to pantomime the motions that would be used as live-action reference for the animation of Tinker Bell. As Tinker Bell was to be non verbal, her movements would be integral, and Davis sought a dancer that could help embody the character. Kerry won the part and spent six months at the Disney Studios on a mostly empty sound stage pantomiming the part. The studios provided props, notably a giant keyhole mounted on a stand as well as a pair of giant scissors, used in the scene where Tinker Bell became trapped in a jewelry box. Kerry also provided the voice and reference movements of the red-haired mermaid in the Neverland lagoon scene.

### Radio

Kerry was a producer, writer and host of *What's Up Weekly - Ministry Loves Company* on KKLA-FM, Los Angeles, from 1992 and 2004, a Christian radio station. Also serving as the station's community services director, she headed an outreach program that connected to more than 200 non-profit service agencies. Kerry is a certified seminar leader by the American Seminar Leaders Association and co-author and facilitator of the FUNdamentals of Speaking Seminars. She continues to meet fans and attends many conventions, events and seminars throughout the country. As a supporter and contributor within the animation community, Kerry served as a board member of ASIFA-Hollywood for a number of years.

### Books

Kerry published her autobiography in 2016 *Tinker Bell Talks: Tales of a Pixie Dusted Life* (ISBN 978-1533500755) with stories and anecdotes from her life and career, and featuring 180 photos and pieces of art. In 2019, Kerry self-published a booklet *They All Look Alike To Me* with short stories detailing her having prosopagnosia, also known as "face blindness".

## Personal life

Kerry has been married 3 times. She was married to Dick Brown from 1951 to 1984 and John Wilcox from 1987 to his death in 1999. She reconnected after 70 years with former boyfriend, WWII veteran Robert Boeke, age 94. The two were married on Valentine's Day, February 14, 2020 in a ceremony at the Little Brown Church in the Valley in Studio City, California. Kerry suffers from prosopagnosia and has spoken and written about coping with it.

## Awards and honors

In 2012 Kerry was the recipient of the Disneyana Fan Club President's award. In 2019, On the occasion of her 90th birthday, Kerry was honored with certificates by Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti on behalf of the City of Los Angeles; the Los Angeles City Council; and the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors via 5th District Supervisor Kathryn Barger. Kerry also received a card from the First Lady of the United States, Melania Trump, who noted Kerry's life as "an important part of the American story and the history of Cinema and Entertainment." On February 15, 2020, Kerry was honored with the Disneyana Fan Club Legends award. On February 16, 2020, Kerry was presented with the Ward Kimball award by the board of Walt Disney's Carolwood Barn.
