The Stoke Edith estate set in its Herefordshire parkland; deer in the foreground. Stoke Edith Park was the seat of Sir Henry Lingen, a Royalist officer in the English Civil War, who was buried in the church in 1662. His widow sold the estate in 1670 to Thomas Foley, who settled it on his second son Paul. Paul rebuilt the timber-framed mansion Stoke Court from 1695, when he became Speaker. The house, renamed Stoke Park, remained in the family until the death of Thomas Lord Foley who, having inherited the Great Witley estate from his distant cousin Thomas 2nd Baron Foley, settled Stoke Edith on his second son Edward Foley (1747-1803). Many of the family were members of Parliament. Stoke Park remained their principal residence until it was burnt down in 1926.

Storm Signals Hoisted at the Coast Guard Stations...
H. Carlisle Lith.
Liverpool Published by Hugh Seddon, 10 Wapping. [n.d., c.1861.]
Steel engraved card. Sheet 90 x 125mm (3½ x 5"). With letterpress explanation. Some surface soiling.
A scarce & interesting item showing a system of warning signals consisting of cones and cylinders hoisted up flagpoles in ports, devised by Vice-Admiral Robert FitzRoy (1805-65), best known as the captain of HMS Beagle during Charles Darwin's famous voyage in 1831-36. He was also governor of New Zealand 1843-8 and from 1854 was 'Meteorological Statist to the Board of Trade', head of what became the Meteorological Office. His mission was to stop the loss of shipping to storms, by 'forecasting the weather', an expression he coined himself. He ordered the distribution of barometers to small fishing communities in 1859 and the following year introduced this storm signal system, keeping fleets in port when the signals were up. The publisher of both card and text, Hugh Seddon, describes himself in the text as a flag maker.
