Arthur Howe Holdsworth, 1780 - 1861

Arthur Howe Holdsworth, whose uniform as Governor of Dartmouth Castle is displayed in Dartmouth Museum, was the last of five members of his family who held this post continuously from 1725 to 1861
Arthur Howe was one of the most talented members of his family in the arts, sciences and politics. He was a good amateur artist - his sketch books can be seen in the Museum. His scientific and architectural skill can be seen at Warfleet Mill, which he rebuilt as a paper mill with a specially designed vaulted roof using the least possible timber to cover the space without central supports. The water wheel to provide the power was the largest west of Bristol. He devised a way of using coloured rags to make fine paper by extracting the colour to make them equal to the more expensive white rags. He also patented an improved rudder for ships, watertight bulkheads and a fireproof magazine. view document

Hayne Family

Letter from Ray Freeman in response to an enquiry about the Hayne Family of Dartmouth from a Mrs Williams
John Hayne, merchant of Dartmouth, who died in 1671, was a man of substance and became the owner c. 1662 of Brownstone Manor near Kingswear, across the other side of the Dart. This passed down in the Hayne family until 1904. Though I have very little information about the man himself, he seems to have been involved in trade with Spain and Portugal, with agents or sons in Cadiz, Opporto and other places. The main trade was in importing wine, but Dartmouth was involved in the Newfoundland fishing industry which took dried fish to sell in Spain, Portugal and the Mediterranean. view document

Health & Housing in Dartmouth 1914

Dartmouth Paper 1
Dr Mivart’s Report on the Public Health &
Housing in Dartmouth 1914
INTRODUCTION
In April 1914, Dartmouth was the subject of an official report of the Local
Government Board, the Whitehall department then entrusted with the supervision
of England's local authorities. The report, written by the Board's
investigator Dr. F. St. George Mivart, criticised extensively the administration
of housing and public health in Dartmouth. Fault was found with the
conduct of both council and its officers with respect to the introduction of
new housing legislation, administration of sanitary laws and regulations,
provision of a water supply, arrangements for isolating victims of infectious
diseases and supervision of trades such as butchers, dairies and bakeries. view document
