Today very little is remembered of the Revd Robert Barry and all he had done for the parish of North Tuddenham. This was even the case over 100 years ago in 1904 when at his death the Dereham & Fakenham Times printed this - "The Rev Robert Barry who has been incumbent for the long service of 53 years had restored the church, built the school and presented it to the church by a special deed. He also built the Rectory in the year 1852. Few of the young generation who have only known him in the later years are aware that he did this all at his own cost".

North Tuddenham Rectory was built in 1852. It’s prime purpose to be the new home of the' Rev Robert Barry' and his wife. The Coach House was built the following year in 1853. Rev Barry was appointed rector of St Mary’s Church in the parish of North Tuddenham, Norfolk on Friday 28th November 1851 following the death of the 'Rev Thomas Peacock' at the age of 95. Thomas was the father of 'George Peacock' the Dean of Ely Cathedral appointed in 1839, a position he held for twenty years. George also held the highest place in the mathematical honour list at Cambridge. The new building replaced the old parsonage/rectory where in 1795 the poet 'William Cowper' first stayed when he and his companion 'Mary Unwin' nee Cawthorne moved to Norfolk on the recommendation of the 'Revd Johnnie Johnson' of Yaxham who was Cowper’s cousin. Mary Unwin was the widow of retired clergyman 'Morley Unwin' who had both befriended Cowper after one of his attacks of depression where he tried to commit suicide.

A sketch of the old parsonage house at North Tuddenham drawn in the days of William Cowper. The property was demolished prior to 1851 to make way for the Rev Robert Barrys new and present day premises. It appears to be closer to St Mary's then the new building and it looks like it was built from Wattle and daub. This was before the roof of St Mary's church was raised, another building project undertaken by the Rev 'd.

Cowper left Buckingham on July 28th and arrived at North Tuddenham (above) three days later. The property had become available because the rector, Thomas Shelford, had died in June. From the Parsonage House at North Tuddenham they moved on to Dunham Lodge near Swaffham then Mundesley before finally settling in East Dereham where Mary died in 1796 and then Cowper in 1800. They are both buried in the St Edmunds Chapel (now called the Cowper Chapel) in St Nicholas Church situated in the heart of the town. The house in the market place where they lived was demolished and a church built in its place designed by architect 'Edward Boardman' aptly now called ‘Cowper Memorial Congregational Church’, which is still there today.

As we are later to discover Rev Barry came from a very wealthy Yorkshire family. On reaching schooling age he followed his elder brother John to the Anglican Shrewsbury School in Shropshire as a boarder under the headmaster 'Samuel Butler' who retired in 1836 and then 'Benjamin Hall Kennedy' (of Latin Primer fame). Robert left in 1838. An earlier pupil of the school having left in 1825 was 'Charles Robert Darwin' the English naturalist and geologist best know for his contributions to the evolutionary theory. The next record shows 'Robert Barry' being admitted to St John’s College Cambridge on 25th January 1844 at the age of 24. He obtained his Bachelor of Arts in 1848 and his Masters in 1851. He was ordained on the 19th December 1847 at St Pauls Cathedral by the Right Honourable and Right Reverend 'Charles James', Lord Bishop of London. He was first appointed curate at Whatton near Bingham, Nottinghamshire and then St Pancras London where he would remain for two years before being appointed to the Rectory at Hinderwell, Yorkshire. Robert Barry remained at Hinderwell for just over a year, moving from there to North Tuddenham.

The Old Rectory from St Mary's Churchyard
Note: For reasons unknown, the Rectory built by Rev Barry has from about the 1950's been known as the 'Old Rectory'.
 

Here he held the living from 1851 till his death on 15th August 1904. In his time here he built the new rectory, renovated the tithe barn (now demolished), and oversaw extensive alterations to St Mary’s Church in 1868 which included raising the roof, new windows, tiling of the walls to keep damp at bay and more, building a new village school in 1871 at his own cost to take 70 pupils under the first mistress 'Elizabeth Webster' and cottages. In all these projects he was generously supported by his father, also named Robert. The railway came to Dereham in 1847 opening the line from Wymondham so we would assume this is how the Barrys travelled to their new home in this remote rural Norfolk countryside.

'Revd Robert Barry' was born on the December 29, 1820 at Whitby (LDS) - He was baptised at Sy Mary The Virgin Church, Whitby on January 1, 1821 - although in an obituary in the' Eagle' University of Cambridge it states December 19th 1821 as his birth date, which is wrong. Robert was the second son of 'Robert Barry' (1792) and his wife 'Dorothy Heaviside'. His mother died giving birth to his sister (Dorothy) named after her when Robert was just 3 year old, his father never remarried. Robert was baptised/christened on 1st January 1821 at Whitby. Rev Barry married 'Mary Ann Page' on the 18th June 1850 at Camberwell London at this time he was Rector of Hinderwell, Yorkshire. Mary was the eldest daughter of 'Robert Page' a ship owner and merchant of Peckham Rye, London. Rev Barry and Mary did not have children.

Historically it was traditional in families for the first son to be favoured to inherit the family fortune, the second son often went into the church or military, in the Barrys case both brothers chose the church. It is not known why; maybe there father (Robert 1792) was well aware of the pressures of his trade and that it was a very competitive market and wanted a more family orientated life for his children. Robert (1792) had married 'Dorothy Heaviside' on 24th October 1818; the service was performed by the Very Rev The Dean of York at Stokesley Yorkshire. Dorothy was a daughter of John and Margaret Heaviside who were dyers in Stokesley with a branch in London. Robert and Dorothy’s first child, a boy was born in 1819 they named him John, he was baptised on the 12th Oct at Whitby, followed by Robert in 1820 and a daughter in 1823 who was named Dorothy after her mother who sadly died either during birth or shortly after at the early age of 29.

The Haviside’s family in Stokesley were dyers in the town for many years, with a branch in London; one of the family was Captain Tom Havisides of the East India Company, famous for his presence of mind in saving the cargo of the Royal George from a fire in 1825, and after whom Heaviside's Dolphin (Cephalorhynchus heavisidii) is named. Margaret Havisides' sister Dorothy married Robert Barry of Park Hill, Fylingdale, near Whitby, and died in 1823 aged 28. Some years later, John Langborne named her widower (Robert Barry) a trustee of his Will.

John became rector of Great Smeaton, Yorkshire in 1848 and married 'Letitia Anna Mercer' on 12th Sept 1850. They had four children, John Warren (Aug 13th 1851), Louisa Dorothy (1852), Robert Mercer (1853) and Emily Eupatan/Eupetoria Barry (1854). Rev John Barry died on the 18th Aug 1856 at Great Smeaton, aged just 36 of Chronic Bronchitis Certified (was he a heavy smoker) - Sarah Carmela/Cambell Mercer (Letita's mother) of Northallerton Vicarage was in Attendance.

It is recorded John Warren and his two sisters were photographed by' Lewis Carroll' ('Charles Lutwidge Dodgson' 1832-1898) who's father was rector of Croft on Tees the neighbouring parish. Lewis Carroll was a writer, mathematician, Anglican cleric, photographer and artist. He is most famous for his writings of 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland', its sequel 'Through the Looking-Glass'.

John Warren Barry had two trips to Corsica a mountainous Mediterranean island of the coast of Italy. In 1898 a book he wrote called 'Studies of Corsica' was published. It has recently been reprinted by the British Library, Historical Print Editions. John Warren initially spent five months travelling around the island with the object of studying the ligneous vegetation of the seaboard region, and so delighted was he by what he saw that from September 1882 to February 1885 he discovered the area in a more leisurely manner. His comments, from personal experience, are concerned with social matters and living conditions.

Taken from: Voice of The Moors - Issue 144 - Winter 2022
Each ten-year census from 1881 to 1911 shows John was a single man with servants. As memtioned above John travelled a great deal throughout the Mediterranean in the 1880s, being particularly captivated by Corsica, about which he wrote a 302-page book: ‘Studies in Corsica, Sylvan and Social’. Local tradition says he had a disabled Italian lady friend – perhaps he met her on his Mediterranean travels. He re-routed and improved the carriage drive from Fyling Hall to the Scarborough road so that she could travel there more easily than on the very hilly roads from the Whitby direction, but the story goes she never actually came to visit him.

Local farmer Tom Morley, whose family moved when Tom was a small boy to Brock Hall, Fylingdales, becoming tenants of the Barry estate. John Barry was described by Tom as:

“a stiff little chap, always rigged up like a gentleman, white scarf with a gold pin, yellow leather leggings with a strap around them and buckled at the top; polished leather boots. He always wore a hard hat and always had a terrier dog with him which roamed ahead of him as he went round the estate. A lot of the masons and the workers – who weren’t over keen on work in them days – used to keep an eye out and the dog gave them ten minutes’ warning.”

Tom Morley was in no doubt as to Barry’s influence. “We were still at school and after we finished about 4 o’clock time, I’ll bet you would meet him between Gilsom Bank Top and Fyling Hall. You had to raise your cap and the lasses had to curtsey, and I’ll bet if you didn’t, the school gaffer would know next morning and you’d be lucky if you didn’t get the cane. I daren’t tell father when I got home because he’d say ‘You deserve it and I’ll give you some more’.”

BARRY FAMILY CREST?
Above the rear porch door (below) of Fyling Hall, (the Barry Yorkshire Home) is a crest in the form of a Wolfe. These symbols historically were there to recognise a family's achievements, heritage and legacy however, there is no evidence to prove this crest's authenticity to this family or as to when it was installed on the porch. It has come to light that one of the Barry descendants inherited some cutlery which has the same crest engraved on the handles (below) - There is also a signet ring.
The Barry's of the 1600 and 1700s were trades people so it is unlikely they would have had a family Coat of Arms at that time - There is also no mention of a crest in any of the archives. So where did this crest come from - One possibility is John Warren Barry was very much into the Barry family genealogy, he was convinced his ancestors came from top Irish stock. He spent many years exploring every avenue to prove this but eventually all his ambitions failed and this remains so today.
It is also worth noting nether of the two direct male Barry lines, Rev William Barry (1803-1884) of Blisworth and Rev Robert Barry (1820-1904) of North Tuddenham ever used this crest.

As virtually all projects were financed by either Robert Barry (1792) or his father John (1759) before him it is worth taking a look at how the Barrys obtained their vast wealth which ultimately financed and benefited many of their offspring, many parishes and parishioners.

The Barrys were very prominent Ship building/owners of Whitby, moving later to London. Their first ship was registered in 1787 at Whitby although it is known they had been active building ships at least twenty years before this by the founder of the firm another 'Robert Barry' 1725-1793 father to John (1759).

The firm had been run from a large town house, the address of which was Bagdale, Whitby. The property with its late eighteenth century façade stood in what later became Station Square and was adjacent to the Barry shipyard. Demolished in the 1920’s to make way for the present ‘bus station’ it was for a time the residence of the Whitby station master. John (1759) married 'Hannah Waite' on the 24th April 1788 at Whitby, they had eight children.

In 1819 John (1759) bought a large part of the Fylingdales, Yorkshire including eleven farmsteads and a water-corn-mill from' Lord Hotham' in whose family the lands have been since 1634. At the same time they also had homes in London for after the war with Napoleon there was a big slump in shipbuilding and Robert (1792) made the decision that the firm needed to be more in the heart of the mercantile trade so moved their offices to Bishops Gate where they were able to concentrate on cargo, this would later include the transportation of convicts. As the Barrys still retained their shipyards they were able to refit their ships at short notice making themselves available for quite a wide range of assorted cargo's from all parts of the trading world. A large number of their books, ledgers and letters are now in the National Archives. Unfortunately quite a few are very faded but they still give a very comprehensive insight of the mercantile business in those times. When the railway came to the Whitby area Robert (1792) was appointed director to the Northern Railways (Whitby to Pickering line).

Held in the highest esteem by the Barrys was 'Captain Edward Theaker' who commanded their ships for many years. On his retirement Captain Theaker was often called upon as their trouble shooter and was sent all over the world with very little notice. There is a splendid account of the Rev Barrys father (Robert 1792 and his grandfather John 1759) highlighting their business and management skills in a book called ‘Master Mariner Extraordinary’ by 'John Howard'. It accounts for ‘The Life and Times of Captain Edward Theaker of Staithes 1786 – 1865’. Here is some of the opening page:

“John Barry 1759 – 1837, followed by his son Robert Barry 1792 – 1871, sensitively tuned to the changing demands for shipping, had pitted their wits against events and fluctuations in the mercantile world for almost half a century, seldom failing to secure freight for their fleet of ships. When there was a call for transport to ferry troops, artillery, horses, ammunition and provisions to various theatres of war in the struggle against Napoleon, Barry ships were made available. Astute business men that they were, John and Robert Barry recognised that the risks involved were high. At the same time, they realised that the rich rewards would be worthwhile. Their ships were adapted to meet the needs of the war effort and the resultant income carefully husbanded, would be available to finance future ventures. In 1813, when the East India Charter was renewed and revised the Barry ships were among the first to seize the opportunities offered for trade with the Indies. As well as developing and efficient organisation as ship managers, the Barry family had a reputation for building stoutly constructed vassals in their shipyard. In 1845, Robert was also elected director of North Pickering Midland Railway Company who had bought the site occupied by the Barry shipyard and there built the station and its approaches. For almost eighty years, the Barry shipyard had been kept busy, not only in constructing, but in repairing vessels of all description".

North Tuddenham was not alone in Robert’s (1792) generosity for he set in motion a large rebuilding programme to update the 11 farmsteads on his estate including the watermill. The Barrys carried out major works to 'Fyling Old Hall', they lowered it a storey and ‘georgianised’ its appearance, though original mullion windows survive within the gable walls. 'George Young', writing in 1817 described it as having been in a ruinous state for a number of years previously, and this may still have been the case as late as 1843. John Warren Barry lived in the house later in the 19thC, before moving to Park Hill after 1871.

Low Farm Fylingdales
Fyling Hall now Fyling Hall School

'Low Farm', Fylingdales, was another model farmstead commissioned by Robert Barry, across the valley from Park Hill and probably its ‘home farm’, tenanted by 'Thomas Barry' Esq in 1843 who was the local agent for Lloyds of London through which all the Barry ships were insured. The outbuildings, around a fold-yard, are well-preserved and substantially intact. The elegant facade forms part of the view from 'Park Hill', now 'Fyling Hall School'. The fold-yard elevation is notably less detailed and more functional.

Robert (1792) also set aside by gift some of his land and together with the present rector 'Robert Jermyn Cooper' (who was Vicar for 57 years) financed the building of the new church ‘St Stephens’ at Hawsker-cum-Stainsacre on the Fylingdales, Robin Hood Bay, Yorkshire. It was designed by 'George Edmund Street' of Woodford perhaps best known for his design of the Royal Courts of Justice. Robert (1792) also built the family home named 'Park Hill' now 'Fyling Hall' a private school. In 1871.

John Warren Barrys Famous Pigsty

After Robert's (1792) death in 1871 his grandson by his late son John inherited a considerable amount of his estate at the age of 19. He was later known as Squire John Warren Barry who became a local eccentric. As well as his writings (mentioned above) he was also famous for building the now historical pigsty (owned now and let as a holiday home by The Landmark Trust) in the style of a Roman Villa. Squire Barry also took over the Patronage of North Tuddenham after his grandfather died. The title of the north Tuddenham Rectory land and buildings were left to his second son Rev Robert Barry as was property and lands at Hawsker-cum-Stainsacre on the Fylingdales. His daughter Dorothy inherited her fathers house, land and stables at Whiby including the use of properties and lands for riding and her pleasure on the Fylingdales till her death.

Rev Robert Barrys uncle ('William Barry' 1803, brother to his father) was the rector of Blisworth Northamptonshire as was his son (both pictured below) and grandson after him and with the aid of the families wealth carried out many building projects in their parish - This could have inspired Rev Robert as North Tuddenham became virtually a mirror of Blisworth - Below is Rev William Barry, his son Rev Henry Thomas Barry and a picture of Blisworth Rectory in the early 1900s.

Rev William Barry was born February 28th 1803 and baptised on March 7th 1803 at Whitby, Yorkshire the youngest son of John Barry, Shipbuilder and Owner and his wife Hannah late Wait.
The Rev William, MA was instituted into the living of Blisworth in 1839. From records he disapproved of the old Rectory or maybe being only newly-wed it was more likely his wife Frances who objected to the old building for in 1842 he built a fine new Rectory with stables and substantial Coach House which was demolished about 1962 in order to widen the High Street.

William attended Burghwallis School Yorkshire (Mr Ewbank) - admitted pensioner to Trinity College Cambridge on February 27th 1821 at the age of 19 (Tutor Proof Monk) - BA in 1825 and MA in 1828 - Ordained Deacon 1827 - Priest (York) 1828 - Rector of Longstowe Cambridge 1836-9 - Rector of Blisworth Northants 1839-84 - Rural Dean 1853-74 - Rev William died December 10th 1884 only a few months after his wife.
During the Rev William's 45 years as Rector of Blisworth he oversaw many alterations and made many gifts to the church, for example three pieces of plate; an 1845 silver paten, an 1845 silver cup and an 1846 silver Alms dish - each bears the words “Presented to the Church of Blisworth by the Rector A.D. 1846”. The remaining and largest piece of Church Silver is a fine Flagon made in 1870 which bears the text: “Christus est immollatus nostram pascha”. The donor of this is not recorded. There was also some pewter plate which was thought to have been lost before the coming of the Rev William.

Rev William Barry married Frances Amelia Finniss on January 7th 1841 at Calne, Wiltshire - Frances was born July 9th 1809 in Bombay Maharashtra India although she was baptised Dec 12th 1812 at Rochester, Kent. She was the daughter of John Finniss, Army Captain & Chief of Police (Mauritius) and his wife Susanna late Major - In the 1881 census it mentioned Frances was blind - She died March 13th 1884.

The Rev. William Barry, MA Trinity College, Cambridge, was instituted into the old Tudaor rectory standing alongside the church at Blisworth in 1839. He evidently disapproved of the old Rectory for in 1842 he built a fine new Rectory with stables and substantial Coach House which have just been demolished (~1964) in order to widen the High Street. During the Rev. Barry’s 45 years as Rector he oversaw many alterations and made many gifts to the church, for example three pieces of plate; an 1845 silver paten, an 1845 silver cup and an 1846 silver Alms dish - each bears the words “Presented to the Church of Blisworth by the Rectore A.D. 1846”. The remaining and largest piece of Church Silver is a fine Flagon made in 1870 which bears the text: “Christus est immollatus nostram pascha”. The donor of this is not recorded. There was also some pewter plate which was thought to have been lost before the coming of the Rev. Barry.

Rev William had plans drawn up to carry out major restoration work to the church in May 1855 - soon the great flat lead covered roof, together with the medieval timbers, was removed from chancel and nave. The north aisle and porch were similarly treated. Inside, the singing gallery was removed and the tower arch was thrown open. The west-end doorway was restored with the present window, the seats were remodelled, and the dark paint was removed from the stone pillars and arches. The total wall area was treated with a coat of stucco - During those forty-five years, and apart from brief holidays, he appears to have been on duty for most occasions of Church and Village. He conducted approximately 1000 baptisms, 248 marriages and 460 burials. It became necessary to acquire a new burial ground, and this half acre of land, situated on the opposite side of the road to the Church, was consecrated in I863.

The Rev. Barry resigned in April of 1884 but he did not live long after, for he died on December 10th of the same year and was buried in Blisworth church yard, aged 81 years. There is also had a collection of pewter plate up to the coming of the Rev. W. Barry, but in 1843 it is recorded that this plate “appears to be lost”. It might interest readers to know the value of the silver plate.

Rev Henry Thomas Barry M.A. resigned in 1904, after which he went on a two year world cruise. As customary, a presentation was made which comprised a silver tray suitably inscribed, and an illuminated address, which was no doubt written by the village cobbler, Mr. John Green, who lived at No. 20, Stoke Road; the sum of £20 had been collected towards the presentation articles.

REV. WILLIAM HENRY (HARRY) BARRY - son of Rev Henry Thomas Barry's (1839-1914)
William (Harry) married Winifred Gertrude Bucknall on Dec 11th 1902 in St Jude, Kensington. - Winifred was born Feb 10th 1880 in Epsom. - The daughter of Henry Corfield Bucknall (1833-1903) and Isabella Cole (1840-1892)
William and Winifred had two children:

[1] Beatrice Gertrude Barry born Mar quarter of 1904 at Towcester – (3b 13)
[2] David Allen Barry born Dec quarter of 1906 at Towcester (13b 11)

Rev William Henry Barry became the 49th recorded Rector of Blisworth in 1904. He was born at Burrough on the Hill in Leicestershire and christened William Henry, but was destined to be called "Harry" from an early age. Harry Barry's juvenile days were passed at Winchester College. Later, when at Cambridge, his attention was turned seriously to the Church. He took his BA in 1898, but his ordination did not take place until three years later. His MA followed in 1902 when he was made Priest by Bishop Mitchinson in the absence of Bishop Glyn, who was suffering from the effects of a serious riding accident. There is no doubt at all that the Rev. Harry Barry was a keen horseman and follower of the hounds, and I am prompted to think that the "Quorn", as well as the Church, attracted him to Melton Mowbrey, where for two years he spent a busy time ministering to the needs of 8,000 parishioners. He worked hard with all the enthusiasm of his fervent nature which won him golden opinions. Regretfully, in 1903, he left the bustling atmosphere of Melton Mowbrey and returned to the tranquility of the family parish at Blisworth, complete with its "pretty little Church and slumbrous serenity".

When in the course of a few months he had familiarised himself with the people and parochial ways, the Rector (his Father) who was also the Patron, handed over the Living to his son "Harry". Soon, the new Rector, together with his wife, took the family place in the affections of the people. He followed in the traditions of his family as a Conservative in the field of Politics. It is still remembered that he never attempted to conceal his views an questions of the day. The Rev. Harry Barry, like his Father had been, soon became a notable hunting parson. The "Grafton Field" we are told, consisted of a large number of farmers, a few resident Squires, and a "nice sprinkling of Parsons," for whom all seemingly had the greatest regard, and of whom it was thought that one of their greatest duties on earth was to countenance and encourage good fellowship via the hunting field !! Of our Rector it was reported that "he had a rider's cheery disposition, and infectious geniality, fully enjoying a smart run with the Grafton on a cold and frosty morning." It was also reported that during much of the last century it was not easy for the village people (and the Grafton supporters) to imagine Blisworth Rectory without a Barry in occupation in the dual capacity of Priest and Squire.

The sands of time, however, were running out for the Barry family. In 1914 the Rev. Harry Barry resigned from the Living at Blisworth and thus ended three quarters of a century of successive Barry Rectors and Residents of Blisworth Rectory, which had been built by the first Barry in 1841.

(Much of the information contained in this issue comes from a privately published book of 1900 entitled "Northamptonshire Leaders Social and Political" in which two pages are dedicated to the life of the Rev. Harry (W.H.) Barry)

Back to North Tuddenham:
When Rev Barry died in 1904 his executor was his nephew, Squire Barry and it is he I believe who robbed us of all the paperwork, files and pictures of the Barrys including two oil paintings of John (1759) and his father Robert (1792) for he either destroyed the lot or took everything back to Yorkshire before handing the rectory over to the 'Rev Armstrong' of East Dereham, famous for his ‘Norfolk Diaries’ which contain quite a few entries of his time dining with Rev Barry at the Rectory after shooting crows in the woods.

* 1834: Mar 1 - Yorkshire Gazette - Saturday at Whitby - Death of Esther Robson - age 28, Esther, the wife of Captain Robson, commander of the ship, "John Barry". Her death is attributed to the following circumstances: - About a month ago whilst feeding a cat which had been placed in a basket for the purpose of being conveyed on board of her husbands ship, she received a deep scratch on the finger, of which she took little or no notice, until symptoms of inflammation began to make their appearance, which medical assistance was resorted to; but the inflammation increased so rapidly as to render every effort of professional skill abortive; mortification had also taken place and, after enduring great pain, death shortly afterwards closed the suffering of this young female.

We have to wonder at what stage of his voyage Esther's husband got to hear of this sad new as he had earlier set sail on April 4th taking the 'John Barry' on its third voyage this time to Hobart Australia transporting 320 male convicts. She arrived on August 11th 1834, no convicts had died en route. The John Barry docked in Sydney on Sunday 14th September 1834. This is a record that Captain John Robson remarried on August 19th 1838 in New South Wales to Martha, eldest daughter of Mr D Mills Esq, merchant of Liverpool.

I have personalised this timeline to the Revd Robert Barry (1820) referred to as 'Rev Robert'. His timeline appear tight left.
The information off set to the right is infromation gathered of his imediate family which he would no doubt have been involved in.
It goes without saying we can go much deeper but I have kept to just key points

Acknowledgement: Nicky Dunnington-Jefferson (Rev Robert Barry's Gt. Gt. Niece) has very kindly allowed the use of her personal files relating to 'The Barry Family' thay were complied by Rev. Charles Alfred Barry (1862-1930), for Isobel Lady Dunnigton-Jefferson in 1928.

WHO were the parents of ROBERT BARRY (1719) - Shipbuilder of Whitby, Yorkshire?

The likely line seems to be John Barry of Guisborough, Yorkshire
Robert Barry's memorial stone states he died 1793 at the age of 75 this gives us a birth year of 1718/19 - We also know there was an Oliver Barry who was witness to his Will - another witness was Mark Noble - Oliver (1702 mentioned below) married into the Noble family (Elizabeth Noble) in 1728 - The males name Francis also seems quite familiar in this family so putting all these facts together, John Barry of Guisborough seems the main contender, more below.

Whitby Literary and Philosophical Society
A collection was deposited as the Barry Bequest, per Major H W Smailes, 1950s-1960s. Other items from this bequest are currently in the North Yorkshire County Record Office, Northallerton.
John, Francis and Robert Barry commenced shipbuilding in Whitby in the 1780s. (From this it appears Robert (1725) and his two sons John (1759) and Francis (1762) were working together) Their shipyard was on the west side of the Esk, being the northern part of the shipyard previously occupied by the Coates and later by Thomas Hutchinson. Robert Barry died in Jan 1793 and the business was continued by his son John, who in turn was succeeded by his own son Robert. The yard was sold to the York and North Midland Railway Company in 1845 and the railway station and approaches to it built on the site.
Contents:
This collection comprises accounts relating to Barry's shipbuilding activities 1802-1807, the bulk contains copy letters of John Barry covering business subjects 1805-1808; letter book of Robert Barry covering business matters including details of ships built 1815-1829, 1815-1843; cash book relating to Barry's ship owning activities 1818-1835; ledger containing records of accounts with individuals and of particular ships 1832-1839; freighting accounts for Barry ships 1822-1831; pro-forma insurance policies relating to voyages made by Barry ships 1818-1835; logbook of the Hyperion while on government service 1812-1815; notes on shipbuilding apparently kept by Robert Barry while studying shipbuilding at Northfleet c1840.


By kind permission of Nicky Dunnington-Jefferson we turn to some letter received by her family written by the late Rev. Charles Albert Barry (1862-1930) who in his research express his theory as to when the Barrys first became Shipbuilders.

Jarvis Coates on about 1740 field TWO shipyards as one, nearest to Bagdale Beck at Whitby, being succeeded by his son Benjamin Coates soon after 1750. Robert Barry, in turn, succeeded Benjamin Coates a to the ONE of the two shipyards, namely that adjacent to Bagdale Beck. As Robert Barry is described in the baptismal registers of his children 1746 onward simply as "Carpenter" until 1757, when this is changed to "Ship-Builder" - while the entry 1760 gives "Ship-Wright", and after "Ship-Builder"appears regularly - Robert Barry seems clearly to have succeeded Benjamin Coates by 1762, if not by 1757 when he had 'passed through the yard' and finished his apprenticeship - To change place and avocation from countryside and country life, so exactly at the turn of the tide, called for exceptional gifts of insight and of character.

Then we have a section taken from A MARITIME HISTORY OF THE PORT OF WHITBY, 1700-1914 by Stephanie Karen Jones in 1982.
Jarvis Coates, established the first Whitby shipyard, and its success influenced other local craftsmen and merchants to do likewise. Coates' name appears in a Whitby rate book of 1697, but probably the first ship to be built by him for which details survive was the William & Jane, of 237 tons, a three masted vessel built in 1717, which was still afloat when the shipping of the port was registered in 1786. It is possible that Coates built ships at Whitby before this date, which may have been sold to another port or lost at sea before compulsory registration was introduced. Young, a prominent local historian, writing in 1817, dates the establishment of 'regular shipyards' at Whitby from c.1730, made possible by harbour improvements, and the activities of Jarvis Coates in shipbuilding as from c.1740. It is not possible to assess the output of Coates' yard, as the name of the 8hipbuilder was included in certificates of registry at Whitby only in the case of new vessels registered after 1790. Coates died in 1739, to be succeeded by his second son, Benjamin Coates, who continued work in the same shipyard until his death in 1756. Coates' first son, also named Jarvis, whose name first appears in a Whitby rate book of 1717, established a second shipyard at Whitby 'just before 17501. The location of these shipyards, ascertained from contemporary descriptions became bankrupt in 1759, but the establishment of these two shipyards was vital to future shipbuilding at the port, because they were later to be taken over by three great Whitby shipbuilding families: the Barricks, Fishburns and Barrys. The first yard on the east bank of the Esk was established jointly by William Barker, John Holt, John Reynolds and John Watson - referring to themselves as the Dock Company.

Dined with Barrys of Tuddenham. Conversation after dinner dealt with the subject of belief in ghosts and none of the company disbelieved in them. Some said that fear of them in Norfolk is so common that the poor will not walk through a churchyard alone at night and prefer having a child with them if they enter the sacred edifice to clean it by day. I was much interested as I had been reading about some remarkable cases of supernatural appearances in a memoir of the Rev. R.H. Barham, the author of the famous Ingoldsby Legends.

To a gentleman’s party at Tuddenham Rectory. A great deal of “shop” talked to which, in the entire absence of laymen, one did not object. It was edifying to hear the only low churchmen present enlarge on the untenableness of private judgement!

WANTED a SCHOOLMISTRESS, for a small Mixed Church School. She must be a Communicant, able to Teach Singing, and to lead the Singing in the Church if required. The School is not under Government Inspection. Salary £20 a-year, the School Pence, and a small Cottage.
Address, The Rev R Barry, North Tuddenham Rectory, East Dereham.

1863: Oct 13th - Source: A Norfolk Diary (1949) by B.J. Armstrong: page 106.
Met the Bishop of Norwich and the clergy of the Deanery at Yaxham Rectory. Where his lordship has been making a visit. The Bishop proposed “to hold counsel with his brethren on the subject of advisability of admitting laymen to our ruridecanal deliberations.” This is a very modest way of putting it, but in the ‘council’ the Bishop, though stating both sides, always indicates plainly enough, the way in which he wishes the decision to go. Then the two Rural Deans, being of his own appointment, invariably followed suit. The clergy then say nothing, either through timidity or the desire not to thwart the evident bias of the Bishop. The result is that the meetings are useless as an expression of opinion. I had made up my mind to be silent, but felt, constrained to differ from certain of the speakers. Though I did so with much respect as possible, I could see that the Bishop disliked it Du Port, of Mattishall and Barry, of North Tuddenham, said a word on my side, but on the whole the clergy were ‘mum’ and seemed as cowed as schoolboys before their master.

Rev Robert's father was involved in local politics
1865: - Jun 7th - Whitby
On Monday a meeting was held in St.Hilda's Hall for the purpose of organizing an opposition to the re-election of Mr.H.S.Thompson, the present member for that borough. Mr. Samuel Flintoft moved, and Mr. William Wood seconded, that Mr. George Hudson be invited to contest the seat. Mr. Robert Barry moved, and Mr.J.J.Rigg seconded, that the Hon. Arthur Duncombe be requested to become a candidate at the next election. For Mr.Hudson, 30 voted, and 11 for Mr.Duncombe. A requisition is therefore in course of signature to Mr.Hudson, for whom many of the people of Whitby prefer a high esteem. On the other hand, it is hardly probable that the heads of the Tory party will unanimously support that gentleman.

1869: Rev. Robert’s father gave £2000 including gifting land for the New St Stephen’s Church at Fylingdale, Robin Hood Bay.

Rev. Roberts father died.
1871:
Sep 30th - Robert Barry (1792) died at Fylingdale Yorkshire age 79.
What Robert's Will has shown us is that he owned the title to North Tuddenham Rectory the farm building and land till his death. This also confirmed that most of the projects carried out by his son Rev Robert were financed by his father. It also shows that robert (1792) must have had either a skill in music or an interest in musical instruments.

Extracts from Robert's Will
I appoint as Executors to my Will my son the Reverent Robert Barry of North Tuddenham and my nephew Thomas Brodrick Gentleman of Salisbury Wilts.
I bequeath my two oil paintings being respectful portraits of my late father and of myself to my son Robert Barry.
- did these pictures survive if so where are they???? And I bequeath the rest of my pictures and prints to my daughter Dorothy Barry
I bequeath all my silver plated articles, books wines and liquors to my son and daughter to be divided equally between them.
I bequeath to my son my gold watch but not its chain of seal this I bequeath to my daughter together with my jewels, ornaments, personal wear apparel, furniture, linen, glass china, musical instruments and other articles of household use together with all my carriages and horses, stable goods and all my household goods and provisions including the sum of £100 free of legacy.
On my late son John Barry who was the incumbent at the time of Great Smeaton where I sold the Parsonage of the church, rents, houses and lands annexed or belonging to the rectory for £6,600 I now instruct the same amount to be invested with the income and dividends to his widow Lettita Anna Barry until her death or she remarry. I she should die or remarry the sum is to be divided equally between her three children, Robert Mercer Barry, Louisa Dorothy Barry and Emily Eupatoria Barry.

Dined at Barrys of North Tuddenham to meet the clergy of the Deanery who have voluntarily associated themselves for mutual improvement. The dinner was far too good, if not out of keeping with the occasion, and which, I could not help thinking at the time, no other clergy in Christendom could have emulated. But our host is a rich man and has no children.

Preached at North Tuddenham for the S.P.G. Many families from the neighbourhood united with a very good congregation of parishioners, and the collection was £5 0s 1d. The Rector Robert Barry has just put in a splendid East Window and has given a first-rate organ. The music was Gregorian and everything was perfection.

Went to North Tuddenham to see some beautiful windows which Robert Barry, the rector had recently put into the church. He has spent upwards of £5000 on the rectory, church and schools. He and I are the only two clergy in the diocese of Norwich who were ordained by the Bishop Bloomfield in St Paul’s Cathedral.
Footnote…... The glass in the tracery of most of these windows is ancient. Mr Barry found it lying about in a stone-mason’s yard at Dereham. It had been removed from another church during a so-called restoration. It is extremely beautiful and its preservation is a matter of thankfulness. (It was removed from the windows for safety during the war of 1939-45).

The Medieval class in North Tuddenham Church was not, apart from two or three shields of arms painted for this building. It was bought by the Rev. Robert Barry who was rector of North Tuddenham from 1851 – 1904 in East Dereham, where it was lying in a builder’s yard. It was said that the sum of half a guinea was paid for it. The greater part of it he placed in various windows in the church. The rest he kept in the rectory. His successor the Rev. B. J. Armstrong, used most of what was left to fill the two windows in the porch. After his death the remainder was presented to the Rev W. Busby, rector of Welborne, who put it into the eastern window of the porch of Welborne church. - The glass was evidently discarded from some Norfolk church, tradition recalls two places on is Lyng, which is only a few miles from North Tuddenham, the other is Billingford near North Elham. Billingford is the more likely, since that is the place recalled by members of Mr Armstrong’s family.

More information from the internet
Two consecutive Rectors left their indelible mark on St Mary. They were Robert Barry and Benjamin Armstrong, who between them shepherded the parish from 1851 to 1924. As we know, the vast majority of parish churches were restored to their medieval configuration by the Victorians after centuries as preaching houses, but few churches retain quite so much evidence of this as St Mary. - The story goes that Barry found the medieval glass in a builder's yard in nearby Dereham in the early 1880s. There are ideas about where it came from; half a century later, surviving members of the Armstrong family recalled Barry mentioning Billingford, near North Elmham, or perhaps Elsing. Neither is likely, and perhaps we will never know.

There are twelve panels, but only the middle eight have figures. They are St Agnes, St Gregory, St Dorothy and St Jeron on the north side, and St Catherine, St Sebastian, St Etheldreda and St Roche on the south side. St Agnes has a dagger pointed at her neck and her lamb at her foot. St Dorothy has flowers and fruit, while St Jeron has a falcon on his arm. St Catherine holds her sword and wheel, St Sebastian an arrow and St Roche points at the plague sores on his leg as at Stalham.

There are more panels from a dado built into the tower arch screen. Mortlock records that these were bought by Barry from 'a lumber shop'. They depict two of the four evangelists, Matthew and Mark, and two of the four Latin doctors, Gregory and Augustine. I wonder where the other four are?

More on the works carried out by the Rev. Robert Barry taken from the church leaflet ……

The Chancel has two restored perpendicular windows on each side. The east window has five lights and two embattled transoms and affine pair of headstops; This window is 15th century, but has been removed and restored from another church by the Rev. Robert Barry whose grave is marked by a high pointed stone near the window.

The Screen under the tower arch has 4 panels with painted figers of St Matthew, St Mark, St Augustine and St Gregory, reading from south to north (left to right); These were rescued from a lumber shop and are believed to be part of a larger screen dated 1390.

The West Window. The Rev. Robert Barry brought a great collection of early medieval glass from a builders yard and the lower section of the window is part of this collection of glass. Here you see two; The Christian maiden keeping sheep is patron saint of the wool industry, and the heathen nobleman, Olybrius, who has rejected Christ, sends his squire with a golden ring to invite her to marry him. She refuses and is committed to prison and torture.

The Ceramic Tiles around the nave are a bold improvement of the 1880’s to counter damp.

The tiles were made by Minton Hollins & Co, Patent Tiles Works, Stoke On Trent.

Minton, Hollins & Co. 1840-1868 (1840-1868 as a division of Minton & Co.) bought by Johnsons in 1868 who still use the name. The most famed and prolific manufacturer for most of the Victorian era its tiles were used in The Palace of Westminster (i.e. The Houses of Parliament), US Capitol, Victoria & Albert Museum and many other prestigious buildings.

Chancel Screen. The Rev. Robert Barry who was Rector here from 1851-1904 made many alterations to the church, such as the East Window, the tiles, the tower arch screen and the stained glass. How he was particularly interested in the details of the screens can be seen by the dragons in the spandrels above the front door of the Rectory which he built in 1852. He also gave the village its school and some cottages.

Dined at the Barrys. A movement is on foot to present our bishop with his own portrait on attaining the twenty-fifth year of his episcopate. Barry, and Mr Burton and myself thought that it was uncalled for and a specimen of that toadyism which largely affects the Norfolk parsons. At first I was determined to have nothing to do with it but the next day I sent a small sum because Dereham is too important a town to be omitted from the list.

John Warren Barry wrote a book in 1893 called 'Studies in Corsica' (346 pages) it is now held by the British Library, Historical Print Editions. Oridginally published by Sampson Low, Marston & Company in 1893. Advertised as - Consisting of frontispice, 1 folding map, 5 plates including 1 map. Olive green publisher's cloth with gilt title. Has Corsica ever been described in such beautiful English and by such an English Squire? The author initially spent five months travelling around the island with the object of studying the ligneous vegetation of the seaboard region, and so delighted was he by what he saw that from September 1882 to February 1885 he discovered the area in a more leisurely manner. His comments, from personal experience, are more concerned with social matters and living conditions than the usual travel book. John Warren Barry (1851) was a land owner and Justice of the Peace at Park Hill Hall, Yorkshire. His first visit to Corsica was with two ladies in 1880.
Studies in Corsica. By John Warren Barry, M.A. (London : Sampson Low, Marston, and Co., 1893.) Mr. Barry has twice visited Corsica, the first visit being of less than five months' duration, while the second extended from September 1882 to February 1885. He has thus had ample opportunities for the study both of the island and of its people, and in the present volume he sums up his impressions very brightly and pleasantly. Most readers will probably like best the chapters on life at Ajaccio, but they will also find much to interest them in what the author has to say about the Bush of Corsica and of the Mediterranean region.
John Warren Barry together with his two sisters, as children, were photographed by Lewis Carroll -
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (27 January 1832 – 14 January 1898), better known by his pen name, Lewis Carroll, was an English writer, mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon, and photographer. His most famous writings are 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland', its sequel 'Through the Looking-Glass'.

In 1898 Miss Dorothy Barry, by will proved at York 26 July, bequeathed a sum to the minister and churchwardens to be invested in the Government funds, and the income to be applied in the same manner as her annual subscription—namely, two-fifths to the schools, one-fifth to widows, one-fifth to the clothing club and one-fifth to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel. The legacy was invested in £90 3s. 10d. consols with the official trustees, of which £36 1s. 6d. consols has been set aside as the Barry Educational Foundation. Educational Charities.—It appears from a board in the parish church that in 1825 Watson Farside gave £50, in 1829 John Watson gave £25, and that in 1830 the sum of £180 4s. was received in respect of a legacy of £300 by will of Thomas Strother, there being an insufficiency of assets. These amounts were invested in £280 7s. 8d. consols, now held by the official trustees, and the dividends, amounting to £7 a year, are, together with 18s. a year received from Miss Barrys charity, paid to the church schools.

1904: Aug 17th - This is a letter from John Warren Barry (Rev Robert’s nephew) to Rev. Benjamin Armstrong
From: North Tuddenham Rectory. East Dereham
Revd and Dear Sir, I am requested to inform you that the funeral of my uncle the Rev. Robert Barry will take place in the church on Friday a 3pm, proceeded at 11am by a celebration of Holy communion. I may also take this opportunity of informing you although it seems somewhat early that my uncle named yourself as the clergyman to whom he wished the first refusal of the nomination to this incumbency to be-made after his death but as line successor in the procession *****. I thought that in case you came over to the funeral more time might be saved in settling this important and responsible matter. Believe me *****. JW Barry.

FUNERAL OF THE RECTOR, - On Friday afternoon the remains of the late Rev Robert Barry, Rector of North Tuddenham were laid to in the churchyard, with every manifestation of respect. The first part of the service took place on Thursday evening, when the body was brought from the Rectory to the church, and the opening sentences of the Burial Service were chanted by the clergy and choir in procession. After the body had been placed in the church, Psalms cxvi, 121 and 130, were sung, the service concluding with the voluntary, " Blest are the departed," from the " Last, Judgment,” played on the organ by Mr. H. J. Gow, the organist. On Friday morning a Communion service was held in the church, the officiating clergy being the Rev A J Hunter, Rector of Swanton Morley, and Cannon Johnson, of Yaxham. At the burial service, which was held at three o'clock, the church was full. The coffin was of plain oak, and bore the inscription:- “Robert Barry, Rector of North Tuddenham 1951 to 1904. Died August 16th, 1904, aged 83." The following clergy were present at the interment: - Rev Canon Cowper-Johnson, Rural Dean of Mitford, Rev A C Upcher, Rural Dean of Forehoe, Rev Canon Jessopp -
D.D., Rev Canon De Chair, Rev A J Hunter, Rev W J Blake, Rev H Barham Johnson, Rev R Murray Gawne, Rev A J Alpe, Rev H S Clarke, Rev J T Kingsmill, D.D., Rev W H Cooke. Rev H S Gladstone, Rev I Armstrong, Rev H Armstrong, Rev Ii Buchanan, Rev P Norton, and Rev C A Hope.

Sympathetic references ware made on Sunday not only in North Tuddenham Church but in the neighbouring pulpits, to the loss sustained in the neighbourhood by the death of the Rev Robert Barry, who had been incumbent for the long space of 53 years, and had restored the church, built the school and presented it to the church by special deed.
He also built the present Rectory in the year 1852. Few of the younger generation who have only known him in later years are aware that he did all this at his own cost.
The funeral arrangements were carried out by Mr H H Aldiss, of Dereham.

1904: Aug 29th (another letter from John Warren Barry to Rev. Benjamin Armstrong).
From: Fyling Hall, Robin Hood Bay
Dear Mr Armstrong, I am much obliged for your two letters. This a great satisfaction to me and I am sure would have been to my uncle. Kind ****** accepted the presentation to North Tuddenham I feel these things will be continued as nearly as possible upon the lines which he desired. The speediness also with which you have kindly decided will also obviate many difficulties. There being no church warden at the present moment or rather the only church warden (the Rector’s) being in a Lunatic Asylum. I had thought when I return to Tuddenham of calling a vestry meeting to elect one for the parish ; but perhaps this might be delayed now until you are intentioned when you would do it yourself. I will do just as you like in the matter. The Rural Dean Cannon Cowper Johnson is at present arranging for the services. You will doubtless settle this with him. The offertories since my uncle’s death have been kept by me and accounted for, this will be continued until your wishes are known. Those up to his death I believe ***** distribute or dispose of ……….

This appears to be the path of the Barry family portraits took - were they cared for and where they then handed down through Cecil's family or did they find their way to a London Salesroom?

MORE on CECIL BRODRICK born 1864

Cecil was born in 1864 the son of Thomas Brodrick a Solicitor and his wife Mary Snaith Haviside, who were married in 1857 at West Ham London. Mary's father (also Thomas) was the older brother of Dorothy Haviside, the mother of Rev Robert Barry. Therefore making Cecil and Rev Robert Barry second cousins. Overtime the name 'Haviside' is spelt other ways.
Cecil's grandparents parents William Broderick (1784) and his wife Hannah (1790) were both born in Whitby before moving to London to set up a Law practice on Great Ormond Street, Finsbury and profession passed on through the generations to Thomas and then to Cecil.

Thier parents were not on the census so could have been away although no other census return seems to record them.

In 1881 Cecil now age 16 and a solicitors clerk was a visitor at Werter Rd Benfield Putney staying with Henry Herbert a 54 year old Civil Engineer and his wife Grace Anne nee Pollock, together with their two children. In 1891 we then find Cecil now at 29 Holland Park Gardens Kensington, Cecil now 26 was a solicitor and entered as a visitor with the family of Emily England age 50, the wife Russell England, late Captain of the 4th Hussars, although he was not at home at the time, but on the record they had eleven children. By 1901 Cecil was living at his own property of Salesbury Close, Wiltshire. He was a 34 year old solicitor, in his employ was a housekeeper, parlor maid and a groom.

From what we see below Cecil Brodrick inherited the PORTRAITS and other PICTURES of the Rev Robert Barry of North Tuddenham. We assume the family portraits to include those of John Barry and his son (Robert), father to the Rev Robert Barry. What happened to them?

1904: Oct 08 - Norwich Mucury - WILL OF THE REV ROBERT BARRY
The will bears date 24th March, 1901, of the Rev. Robert Barry, of North Tuddenham, Norfolk, rector since 1851 of North Tuddenham, formerly curate of St. Pancras 1847-50, and rector of Hinderwell, Yorkshire, 1850-51, who died on the 15th August last, aged 83 years. His estate has been valued at £20,041 1s gross, (£2.3M in 2016) with a net personalty £17, 176 15s 3d (£1.9M in 2016) gross. The executors are the testators, nephew, Mr. John Warren Barry, of Fyling Hall, Robin Hood Bay, Yorkshire; and Mr Cecil Brodrick, of Ormond House, Queen Victoria Street, solicitor to the former, of whom the testator left his freehold, copyhold, and leasehold estates in the county of Norfolk and elsewhere, and the family portraits and some other pictures; and he left to his said nephew the advowson (the right to recommend a member of the Anglican clergy for a vacant benefice, or to make such an appointment) of North Tuddenham, with directions that the claim for dilapidations should he paid from his residuary estate. He bequeathed to his nephew Robert Mercer Barry £5,000, to his niece Louisa Dorothy Dunnington-Jefferson £2,000, to his servants James William Cobb and Ann Barnes and Ann Berwick £100 (11,000 in 2016) each, and to Thomas William Newell and James Harvey and William Gigley £25 (£2800 in 2016) each. He bequeathed to his wife £500 (£55,000 in2016), the plate and plated ware which came from her family, and his household effects, and the use and enjoyment of his plate and plated ware, which he left subject to her use to his nephews, John Warren Barry, and John Warren Barry, and his nieces Mrs Louisa Dorothy Dunnington-Jefferson and Emily Eupatoria Barry. The testator left the residue of his property in trust as to two-sixths each to his said two nephews, and one-sixths each to his said two nieces.
This appears to be the path of the Barry family portraits took - were they cared for and where they then handed down through Cecil's family or did they find their way to a London Salesroom?
