Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our Old Nobility The Earl of Shaftesbury, whose seat is at St. Giles´s House, near Wimborne, Dorset, owns in Dorset ... 15,579 acres. Hants ... 3,057 ,, Total 18,636 ,, With a rentroll of £14,617. The Peerage dates from the Restoration, and, though the Ashleys were persons of considerable estate long ere that time, Anthony Ashley-Cooper, first Earl of Shaftesbury, was the real founder of the greatness of the house. The estates seem to have been acquired, for the most part, by purchase or marriage. In the time of the Plantagenets, Wimborne St. Giles belonged to the Plessy family. It was brought by a Plessy heiress to the Hamelyns, and by a Hamelyn heiress to the Ashleys. Sir Anthony Ashley, who was knighted in the taking of Cadiz, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, rendered a useful service to his country by introducing cabbages from Holland. He appears to have purchased Hinton Martel, in Dorset, in the reign of James I. It was the heiress of Sir Anthony who brought the Ashley estates into the Cooper family.
