Lagonda V12 Rapide Drophead Coupe (1939) One of only two James Young bodied Lagondas, this stunning drophead is shown at the 2024 Heveningham Hall Concours d'Elegance, where it won the event's "The Stylish Years 1886-1945" class. The V12 Lagodas were developed by W.O. Bentley, after being sidelined when his company was acquired by Rolls-Royce, and this car holds the rare distinction of Bentley's fabled performance clad in James Young refinement. The onset of WWII curtailed further development of the promising program.

Ferrari Enzo 

"". .In-keeping with the previous "special-series" production cars, the Enzo's production was limited to just 399 examples, with the 400th example being gifted to Pope John Paul II. Naturally all cars were instantly accounted for, with values of Enzos never dropping to anywhere near the original sales price of less than £500,000. "

P. 4/?, Mary Shelton and Mary Fitzroy

One of Anne Boleyn’s maids of honor, and cousin, was Mary Shelton, the daughter of Sir John Shelton and Lady Anne Boleyn, the aunt of Queen Anne Boleyn. She was one of 10 children, although she largely overshadowed them. She was born around 1510-1515, although her birth date is unknown. She became Anne’s maid of honor at an unknown date, although it is known she was her maid. Evidence of this is from when Anne apparently lightly chided Mary for writing poetry in her prayer book. She was also said to be a great beauty, one ambassador saying that Christina of Denmark was beautiful and looked like “Mistress Shelton”, who was probably Mary. She was engaged to Thomas Clere, a close friend of Henry Howard, but he died before they were married. She then married Anthony Heveningham, and after he died, Philip Appleyard. She was one of the main contributors of the Devonshire Manuscript, a manuscript of poems in the 16th century. She was a proto feminist, changing lyrics of poetry to a more feminine slant, according to Elizabeth Norton. She was a close friend of Mary Fitzroy, nee Howard.

Mary Fitzroy, Duchess of Richmond, maiden name Howard, was the daughter of the Duke of Norfolk, Thomas Howard, and Elizabeth Stafford, daughter of the Duke of Buckingham. She was born in 1519 and was a cousin of Anne Boleyn, through her father and Anne’s mom, as they were siblings. Anne Boleyn negotiated a marriage between Mary Howard and Henry Fitzroy, the illegitimate son of Henry VIII. She was close to Margaret Douglas, Henry VIII’s niece, and Mary Shelton, another cousin of Anne Boleyn. She, Margaret and Mary were the main contributors of the Devonshire Manuscript. Mary Fitzroy had been a part of Anne Boleyn’s household before her ascent to Queenhood, surprisingly. After her husband’s and Anne Boleyn’s death, she mostly fell into obscurity, but it’s known she served Anne of Cleves. After the death of her brother, Henry Howard, she took care of his children, living an isolated life until she died in 1557.

If music be the food of love, Sing on till I am fill’d with joy; For then my list’ning soul you move To pleasures that can never cloy. Your eyes, your mien, your tongue declare That you are music ev’rywhere. Pleasures invade both eye and ear, So fierce the transports are, they wound, And all my senses feasted are, Tho’ yet the treat is only sound, Sure I must perish by your charms, Unless you save me in your arms.

Henry Heveningham for a song by Henry Purcell

Celebrating female engineers

By Idha Valeur  It is 100 years ago since the Women’s Engineering Society formed and to mark the occasion, the group is launching a 100 years – 100 Women Engineers list as part of a project to celebrate and pay tribute to women’s achievements in various engineering fields. The aim is to let the spotlight shine bright on these extraordinary achievements that were accomplished in professional environments that were not women-friendly nor inclusive.  

The list was created via an online site open for nominations from the public, while a panel of judges consisting of Dawn Bonfield FIMMM, Nina Baker, Henrietta Heald, Anne Locker, Gordon Masterton and Will Whittow, edited the top 100 list. 

‘It has been inspiring to learn more about these magnificnet women who were pioneers in their field and had to contend with not only a legal system which prevented their participation, but an engineering profession which made it very difficult for women to succeed in the workplace. Depite these hostile conditions, many women did thrive, and that makes their stories even more compelling,’ Dawn Bonfield said. 

Included in the list are eight members of the Institute. These are: Cleone de Heveningham Benest (1880-1963), Marie Gayler (1891-1976), Monica Maurice (1908-1995), Marion McQuillan (1922-1998), Dorothy Pile (1902-1993), Jane Plant (1945-2016), Jean Taylor (1924-1999) and Constance Tipper (1894-1995). 

Two of these women were past IOM3 presidents. Materials World featured their bios in our anniversary issue earlier this year. And in light of the release of the list, we celebrate them and their achievements once again.

JANE ANN PLANT (1945-2016)

Credit: IOM3

Professor Jane Plant was the first female President of the Institution of Mining and Metallurgy (IMM) in 2000-2002, immediately before its merger with the Institute of Materials to form IOM3.

Plant graduated in geology from Liverpool University, UK, and subsequently worked for the British Geological Survey (BGS) developing methods for geochemical mapping of the UK. As she progressed through BGS, she was awarded a PhD in geochemistry and later took a sabbatical to work for Middleton Exploration in North America on mineral exploration programmes. She was promoted to Chief Scientist of the BGS in 2000. Among her other appointments, she was a member of the Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution, Chair of the Government’s Advisory Committee on Hazardous Substances, a visiting professor at Liverpool University and Joint Leader of the US Global Geochemical Baselines programme. Plant was a Fellow of the Institution of Mining and Metallurgy and of the Royal Society of Arts, and a Freeman of the City of London. She was awarded a CBE in 1997 for services to geosciences and the minerals industry. In 2000 she published a book titled Your Life in Your Hands about her successful battle with breast cancer, which became a best seller.

JEAN MARION TAYLOR (1924-1999)

Credit: IOM3

Jean Taylor served as President of the Institute of Wood Science (IWSc) from 1986-1988 and was probably the first woman member of IWSc. Taylor served in the WRAF during WWII working on airframe maintenance and graduated from Cardiff University, UK, with a degree in Zoology. She joined the Forest Products Research Laboratory (FPRL) under R C Fisher in 1949 and was part of the post-war intake who spent much of their careers at FPRL and made major contributions to wood science. Taylor’s work was concerned with the development of laboratory testing technology and prediction of real-life performance. 20 years later she became Technical Director at Protim, where she stayed until retirement.

IWSc played a large part in Taylor’s life – she was elected a Fellow in 1962 and served on various committees before becoming President at a time of considerable change for the Institute. Her clear analytical approach and gift for enthusing people was put to good use during this time.

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Featured on the list were also the unnamed women of the construction group that re-built Waterloo Bridge in London during WWII, now commonly known as the Ladies’ Bridge. Also featured were Rachel Parsons and Laura Annie Willson MBE who founded the Women’s Engineering Society and the developer of the ‘Lyon Shape’ which was adopted by both airship R101 and submarine USS Albacore, Hilda Lyon, amongst many others.

The list accompanies the release of the book Magnificent Women and their Revolutionary Machines written by Henrietta Heald. The book tells the stories of several women in the engineering world and highlights their influence on the industry in a male-dominated profession. The title will also be listed in the October issue of Materials World and can be requested to review for the magazine.
