Although the term ‘Anglo-Catholicism’ is anachronistic in discussions about Victorian religion, as it did not pass into common usage until the twentieth century, I have followed the modern practice of referring to the Catholic party in the Church of England as ‘Tractarian’ until about 1860 and ‘Anglo-Catholic’ thereafter.

16 The most reliable of various accounts of Hugo Meynell Ingram’s accident and death appears to be that in Randall, J. L., A History of the Meynell Hounds and Country 1780-1901, 11 (London, 1901), pp. 298–300 CrossRefGoogle Scholar, which was published in EMI’s lifetime. According to the death certificate, the cause of death was ‘General internal morbid complications, which had for some time been destroying his health’.

17 The information about Hugo Francis Meynell Ingram’s income is derived from his probate records, Temple Newsam Add. MSS, Ace. no. 4317, 5/1-30, West Yorkshire Record Office.

18 The principal sources for the story of EMI’s marriage and her relationship with her husband’s family are Meynell, Lady Mary, Sunshine and Shadows Over a Long Life (London, 1933), especially at pp. 145-49Google Scholar, and Lockhart, J. G., Viscount Halifax, I. 1839-1885 (London, 1935), pp. 216-18Google Scholar. It may be helpful to summarize the changes of title and surname in the Wood family. Emily’s father, Charles Wood, the first Viscount Halifax, was succeeded in 1885 by her brother Charles, the second viscount, who died in 1934, when he was succeeded by his only surviving son, the third viscount, the distinguished politician, who subsequently became the first Earl of Halifax. When EMI died in 1904, she bequeathed her Yorkshire estates, including Temple Newsam, to her nephew, the future third viscount; the Staffordshire estates were inherited by her brother the Hon. Frederick Wood, who in 1905 changed his name to Meynell. He had married Lady Mary Lindsay, a daughter of the twenty-fifth Earl of Crawford, who therefore became Lady Mary Meynell, the name under which she wrote her guidebook to Holy Angels.

19 EMI diary, 16 January 1872, BIY, A7.7. See also the annotated transcript of EMI’s diaries by Francis Meynell, SRO, D861/P/3/6, vol. 32, p. 107. EMI kept her diary very intermittently; there are, for example, no entries for the period when Holy Angels was under construction.

20 This is my interpretation of the evidence. The local obituaries, for example that in the Burton-on-Trent Times (27 May 1871), state that Hugo Meynell Ingram had one son, who predeceased him. Since there is neither birth nor death certificate, a still birth seems the most likely explanation. The first Earl of Halifax records a family story that EMI miscarried after a riding accident: the Earl of Halifax, op. cit. [note 15], p. 26.

23 Her position was not, however, as uncommon as has sometimes been assumed. K. D. Reynolds, op. cit. [note 11], p. 43, notes that Bateman, John, in the fourth edition of the Great Landowners of Great Britain and Ireland (London, 1883)Google Scholar, records 412 estates owned by women outright.

24 Probate records for EMI, Temple Newsam Additional MSS, Ace. no. 4162, 8, West Yorkshire Record Office. Although probate was granted at £105,095, the Inland Revenue forms record personalty of £886,342, of which £704,778 was vested in securities producing an income of £167,844 in 1903-04. EMI’s real estate was valued at £1.25 million, giving a total value for her estate of £2.148 million. I am grateful to James Lomax for help with these papers.

34 One likely link between them was the Hon. Colin Lindsay, a son of the twenty-fourth Earl of Crawford. Lindsay was a close friend of Charles Beanlands, first vicar of St Michael, Brighton, which Beanlands had commissioned Bodley to design in 1858. Lindsay almost certainly introduced Bodley to another patron, Alexander Forbes, Bishop of Brechin, who commissioned the chapel-cum-school of St Salvador’s, Dundee in 1858 and the permanent church in 1865. By the mid-186os, Charles Wood was friendly both with Lindsay, his predecessor as president of the English Church Union, and with Forbes.

The sequence of these letters [notes 69 and 70] is not entirely clear, and it may be that both refer to a chapel behind the chancel, but the reference in EMI’s letter to the ‘enormously long’ chancel suggests to me that as an alternative to a ‘Lady Chapel’ she tried to persuade GFB to bring the altar forward and place the tomb behind it, in the customary position of a medieval shrine.

Mrs Reade’s aesthetic indifference to what Bodley and Garner and her husband had achieved at Tue Brook can perhaps be deduced from her choice in 1876 of the local architects W. & J. Hay to design a new chancel and side chapel for St James, West Derby, in memory of her mother, who had paid for the church to be built and endowed in 1847.
