Early life

It is not known the exact day of Annie Eliza Smith’s birthday, but she was born in September 1841 (Find A Grave memorial website says the 1st of September, but without sources) in Knightsbridge (West London) to George Smith of Harrow Road, a Private, 2nd Battalion of Lifeguards (at the time of his death he was listed as a servant) and Ruth Chapman of Market Street.

Annie’s parents were married on February 22, 1842, 6 months after Annie was born. The marriage took place in Paddington (in the London borough of Westminster). Annie was baptised on the 23rd  April 1842 at Christchurch, St Pancras (London borough of Camden). The church was local to where her father George Smith was stationed at Upper Albany Street by Regents Park, but their address was recorded on the register as Knightsbridge.

She had three younger sisters, Emily Latitia (b.1844), Georgina (b.1856) and Mirium Ruth (b.1858), and a younger brother, Fountain Hamilton (b. 1861). The sisters appeared not to get along with Annie. She had three more siblings, George William Thomas, baptised at the same church as hers, on the 2nd June 1844; Miriam, baptised on 25th January 1852, and William christened on 1st February 1854 at Christchurch, St Pancras, who sadly died after 5 months. He was buried on the 3rd June at Holy Trinity, Brompton. The family lived at Raphael Street at that time and their sadness did not end there. George William Thomas died aged 12 and was buried only thirteen days after his younger brother, and Miriam also sadly died in June 1854, exactly the same quarter that the deaths of George William Thomas and William were recorded. Georgina, Mirium Ruth and Fountain Hamilton were all baptised on the same day in Sept 29 1867 and their dates of birth are given in each entry showing they were aged 11, 9 and 6 at baptism.

Annie married John Chapman, a coachman, on May 1, 1869 at All Saints Church in the Knightsbridge district of London. She was 28. Their residence on the marriage certificate is listed as 29 Montpelier Place, Brompton. This is also where her mother lived until her death in 1893.

In 1870 they moved to 1 Brook Mews in Bayswater (within the City of Westminster and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in central London), and their first daughter Emily Ruth was born. John worked as a Domestic Head Coachman. In 1873 they moved to 17 South Bruton Mews, Berkeley Square (West End, City of Westminster) when their second daughter, Annie Georgina, was born. In 1880 they had a son, John Alfred, who was a cripple and sent to a home or charity school. In 1881 they moved to Windsor where John took a job as a domestic coachman. Sadly, Emily Ruth died of meningitis at the age of twelve. Then John worked for a farm bailiff, Josiah Weeks.

Annie and John separated by mutual consent in 1884 or 1885. The reason is uncertain. A police report says it was because of her “drunken and immoral ways.” She was arrested several times in Windsor for drunkenness and it is believed her husband was also a heavy drinker.

John Chapman semi-regularly paid his wife 10 shillings per week by Post Office order until his death on Christmas day in 1886, aged 44. At the time of his death he was living at Grove Road, Windsor. He died of cirrhosis of the liver and dropsy. Annie found out about his death through her brother-in-law who lived in Oxford Street, Whitechapel. On telling her friend Amelia Palmer about it she cried. Palmer said that even two years later she seemed downcast when speaking of her children and how “since the death of her husband she seemed to have given away all together.”

Later life

Sometime during 1886 she was living with a sieve maker named John “Jack” Sivvey (unknown whether this is a nickname or not) at the common lodging house at 30 Dorset Street, Spitalfields. Although they never did marry, she was by then known as Annie Sivvey or Sievey/Siffey). He left her soon after her husband’s death, probably when the money stopped coming. He moved to Notting Hill.

From May or June 1888, Annie was living consistently at Crossingham’s Lodging House at 35 Dorset Street, Spitalfields, which catered for approximately 300 people. The deputy was Timothy Donovan. She paid 8d (4p) for a double bed.

More recently, Annie had been having a relationship with Edward Stanley, a bricklayer’s mate, known as the Pensioner. At the time of Annie’s murder he was living at 1 Osborn Place, Whitechapel. Stanley and Annie spent weekends together at Crossingham’s. Stanley instructed Donovan to turn Annie away if she tried to enter with another man. He often paid for Annie’s bed as well as that of  fellow lodger Eliza Cooper. They spent Saturdays and Sundays together, parting between 1:00 and 3:00 AM on Sundays. Stanley said that he had known Annie in Windsor.

Annie lived worked doing crochet-work and selling flowers. In mid to late August of 1888 she ran into her brother Fountain Smith on Commercial Road. She said she was hard up but would not tell him where she was living. He gave her 2 shillings.

Spotlight: Danescourt Estate

In the northwest corner of Cardiff, sandwiched between Llandaff and Radyr, sits Danescourt. This 1970s development of c.1,200 houses has at its heart a thirteenth century church, a fifteenth century manor house and, for some inexplicable reason, a postbox dating back to King George V.  Anachronistic postboxes aside, there is a surprising amount of history for an estate which is just 40 years old...

Origin of the name

As previously covered ‘Danescourt’ is an amalgamation of the names of two properties which predate the estate. “Danes” refers to Danesbrook House, a private dwelling built during the Edwardian period and later extended and converted into a private nursing home, while “Court” refers to Radyr Court House (after which the nearby Radyr Court Road is named).

Radyr Court

In the 12th Century to the west of St John’s Church (on what is now Heol Aradur) stood a house called Radyr Isha (Lower Radyr), it had passed into the Mathew family in the 1450s through the marriage of Thomas Mathew (3rd son of Sir David Mathew, Standard Bearer of England under King Edward IV during the Wars of the Roses) to Catherine Ferch Morgan (daughter of Welsh nobleman Morgan Ap Llewellyn and heiress of Radyr). The marriage elevated the Mathew family so significantly that they felt it necessary to replace their grand Radyr Isha property with a larger and far grander manor house.

The new home (known as Cwrt Radur, or Radyr Court) was constructed at about 1469 to the east of St John’s Church alongside an existing track which led to a ford at the River Taff. The property was said to be a grand manor house, similar in size and style to that of the ‘Van House’ in Caerphilly built several years earlier. Radyr Isha had been left to ruin, as noted by Rhys Meurig in the 16th century: 

“ye manor house by the west of ye church, sometime ye house of Morgan Llew ap Jeban, now decay'd"

In subsequent years the derelict house would be removed in its entirety (foundations and all) by David’s grandson Sir George Mathew to make way for a large deer park. Deer were seen a status symbol in Tudor times, but this unnecessary extravagance would signal the beginning of the end for the Mathew dynasty. 

Creation of the deer park required the eviction of several tenant farmers in the manor, this loss of potential income coupled with the high cost of looking after a herd of deer led to significant financial problems. George’s eldest son William attempted to revive his family’s fortune by investing in the Pentyrch Iron Works. By 1625, with crippling debts and very little income, Captain George Mathew was forced to sell what remained of the estate to the Lewis family of Caerphilly ending nearly 200 years of the Mathew family’s reign in Radyr.

By 1830 a large portion of Radyr Court had to be demolished after being ravaged by fire. The remaining wings of the house were renovated and converted into a farmhouse. It remained as a working farm until the 1970s (top picture) when council planners purchased the surrounding lands and set about creating a new estate to satisfy the needs of the expanding city. By 1979 the farmhouse had been extensively renovated and reopened as a pub known as The Radyr Court.

The pub has changed hands a number of times in 40 years and undergone several transformations, including a stint between 2003 and 2013 where the upstairs became an Indian restaurant. The current incarnation is viewed as more of a restaurant than a pub and is owned by three local men who saved it from closure in 2013. It officially reopened in 2015 after an extensive (and no doubt expensive) refurbishment, with a new logo featuring a deer and the year ‘1469′ in reference to the history of the building.

Radyr Chain

In Tudor times the responsibility for maintaining the local road network was that of the Parish. Each parishioner was duty-bound to do one week (6 days) unpaid work on the roads (although records from the time suggest payment in the form of free ale may have been given). As traffic on the roads increased, and parishioners were less willing to give up their free time, it was necessary for the parish to use paid labour. By the 1770s it became apparent that the present system was unsustainable and before the end of the century major roads in the county became turnpikes (an early name for a toll road). The concept worked in much the same way that modern toll roads do where an appointed trust takes control of a section of road and charges road users for using that particular section; the fees collected would then be used for repairs and maintenance.

The main road from Llandaff to Capel Llanilltern (modern day Llantrisant Road) became a turnpike and was operated for profit by the Cardiff Turnpike Trust. A toll booth was built at the junction of modern day Waterhall Road, but road users soon realised they could bypass this toll by instead travelling via Llandaff Bridge and using nearby Radyr Court Road. In a bid to combat this, the Trust installed a chain across the road which was only lowered on receipt of payment. This led to the area being referred to as "Radyr Chain".

One known operator at the Radyr Chain toll booth was an elderly woman by the name of Rachel, also known as "Rachel of the Chain". Little is known of Rachel, though she is mentioned in this 1895 account by the Reverend William David, Rector Of St Fagans:

“Rachel, of the Chain, who lived alone in a comical little cabin about nine or ten feet square which stood at the corner of the adjacent crossroads, where she kept charge of a chain stretched across the road and lowered only on payment of toll by any traveller.”

The turnpikes were never popular, particularly with vendors living north of Radyr wishing to sell their wares in Cardiff. The hostility eventually turned to rioting in the 1840s, and by 1851 the turnpike trusts throughout South Wales were disbanded. Responsibility for the roads initially passed to a Llandaff Highways Board before eventually coming under the jurisdiction of the newly formed Glamorgan County Council in 1888.

With the former turnpikes now in the hands of the local Government, money for road maintenance was collected through taxes instead of individual tolls. This rendered the toll houses surplus to requirements and across the county they were demolished or sold off. Although Radyr Chain had been suggested for demolition in 1864 (and again in 1865) to facilitate the widening of the turnpike road, it is known to still be in place in 1879 as a local government report commented on the poor sanitary conditions and lack of running water at the building. The toll house had certainly been demolished by the early 1890s, and within 10 years the site had been redeveloped and the modern day “Radyr Chain” house (pictured) and lodge house were built.

The tree around which the chain was connected is believed to have been removed when construction of Danescourt began in the 1970s, the stump now sits in the foyer of the the Church Hall in Danescourt.

Surprising street names

Modern housing estates are usually littered with bland street names typically named after arbitrary items such as trees or plants (Pontprennau's Blackberry Way, Greenacre Drive and Acorn Grove immediately spring to mind!). When choosing the names of Danescourt's streets the planners appear to have consulted the history books for some rather more interesting and relevant names.

Radyr Court Road remains in situ (although the section leading north from the Taff through to Llantrisant Road is almost entirely pedestrianised) and off it you can find Mathew Walk (a reference to the Mathew family), Rachel Close (widely believed to be a reference to Rachel of the Chain) and Cadoc Place (an Anglicisation of the Saint Catwg).

Further afield at least 17 of the streets are named after former Deans, Archdeacons and Bishops of Llandaff, the first of which was a cleric by the name of Urban (a Latinised version of his birth name "Gwrgan") who is said to have established the Diocese of Llandaff and served as it's first Bishop in 1107 until his death in 1134. His name lives on as Heol Urban ("Heol" means "Road"). Heol Urban leads to three cul-de-sacs which are also named after former clergymen; Lynch Blosse Close (after Henry Lynch Blosse who served as Archdeacon from 1859 - 1877 and Dean until 1879) Bruce Knight Close (after William Bruce Knight who was Dean between 1843 and 1845 before becoming Chancellor) and Marshall Close (believed to be after John Marshall, Bishop between 1478 and 1496). Elsewhere in the estate the surnames of former Bishops William da Braose (1266-1287), Robert Holgate (1537-1545), Francis Godwin, (1601-1617), Charles Sumner (1826-1827) and Alfred Ollivant (1849-1882) are used as prefixes for the word "Close", as is that of James Rice Buckley the Archdeacon from 1913 - 1924 who has his own statue on the Cathedral Green in Llandaff (pictured).

Other streets named after former Bishops include Richard Lewis Close (1883-1905), Timothy Rees Close (1931-1939), Blethin Close (Anglicised version of William Blethyn, 1575-1590), Herbert March Close (a mis-spelling of Herbert Marsh, 1816-1819) and Hugh's Close (a fairly common name, but believed to be in reference to Hugh Jones, Bishop from 1567-1574). John Morgan Close (1939-1957) and Glyn Simon Close (1957-1971) are particularly significant as they both served as Bishop of Llandaff before becoming Archbishop of Wales.

In addition to the wider Diocese of Llandaff, a number of the streets are named after people who have made a contribution to Llandaff Cathedral. John Prichard and John Pollard Seddon, the Victorian Architects charged with restoring the Cathedral in the late 19th Century, are immortalised by the street names Heol Seddon and Pritchard Close (another spelling mistake).  Jasper Close is named after Jasper Tudor who designed and helped fund the northwest tower of the Cathedral in the 14th Century, while Pace Close is named in reference to George Pace who helped restore the Cathedral in the 1950s following significant damage during World War II.

Other streets are named after artists and sculptors who have created significant pieces of artwork for the Cathedral, including:

Burne Jones Close: after Edward Burne-Jones, artist (Six Days of Creation, c.1893)

Edward Clarke Close: after Edward Clarke, stonemason (Trinity Corbel, 19th C.)

Epstein Close: after Sir Jacob Epstein, artist (Christ in Majesty, 1954)

Piper Close: after John Piper, artist (stained glass window "The Supper at Emmaus" 1959)

Roper Close: after Frank Roper, sculptor (Flowers of the Virgin Mary, 1964)

Rossetti Close: after Dante Gabriel Rossetti, artist (The Seed of David, 1864)

Wyon Close: after Allan G. Wyon, engraver (life size Brass of Timothy Rees)

The artists Thomas Woolner (Moses Before the Glory of God, 1860) and Alan Durst (Scenes From the Bible and the Life of St Teilo, 1952) have also been honoured with street names, but like many in the area they have both been spelt incorrectly as Woolmer Close and Allan Durst Close.

The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for

Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies are delighted to announce the 2020 International

Architecture Awards as the global architecture award for the world’s best new buildings and urban

planning projects from over 38 nations.

Founded in 2005, these Awards for International Excellence demonstrate how buildings and urban

planning projects worldwide stretch the boundaries of architecture, irrespective of style, complexity, and

size of both scheme and budget.

The Awards are regarded internationally as the world’s most important global mark of excellence, recognizing the best international architecture practices, as well as the hundreds of corporate clients, developers, state and local governments, institutions, and general contractors that produced them.

“We are thrilled to recognize and celebrate architectural excellence across the globe,” states Christian Narkiewicz-Laine, Architecture Critic and President of The Chicago Athenaeum.

“It is our intention that these awards uncover the world’s most innovative and visionary architecture and their professional practices, as well as spark local and global debates about the positive impact that well-designed buildings and places can have on local communities and the environment.”

“Each year, we discover how architecture is reacting to and resolving issues posed by the changing demands of a global community.”

“These awards set a standard by which to assess and promote design excellence on a global scale.”

Out of a record number of projects that were entered in 2020, over 400 submissions were shortlisted.

“These successful projects demonstrate the world’s best visionary and innovative thinking and excellence of execution by a global design practice, along with developers and clients,” continues Narkiewicz-Laine.

This year’s selected buildings and urban planning projects are from 38 nations including: Albania, Australia, Brazil, Cambodia, Canada, China, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Denmark, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Japan, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Latvia, México, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Tibet, United Kingdom, The United States, and Vietnam.

Duke of Edinburgh looks back to his best alongside the Queen in Princess Beatrice wedding picture

Prince Philip looked happy and healthy as he smiled alongside the Queen after the secret wedding of Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.

The Duke of Edinburgh, who celebrated his 99th birthday last month, attended the ceremony in Windsor in a rare public appearance since his official retirement in August 2017.

In an official photo released today, Prince Philip stood beside his wife of 73 years in a smart dark coloured suit, white shirt and striped tie, beaming at the newly married couple.

Like her husband, the Queen appeared in excellent spirits as they left the service and looked resplendent in mint green for the occasion. 

The couple posed with Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi outside the Royal Chapel of All Saints, in the grounds of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s home of Royal Lodge, in Windsor Great Park.

Prince Philip looked happy and healthy alongside his wife of 73 years Queen Elizabeth as he beamed at the Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in an official photo released today

Prince Philip looked happy and healthy as he smiled alongside the Queen after the secret wedding of Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi at the Royal Chapel of All Saints

Prince Philip appeared in good health, standing unaided besides Queen Elizabeth despite recent bouts of ill health.

This is just the second official photograph of the Duke since the start of the year, though rumours about his health have persisted since he was hospitalised shortly before Christmas for a pre-existing medical condition.

Prince Philip spent four nights in hospital in December for what royal officials described as ‘observation and treatment’.

The ‘precautionary measure’ and unspecified condition renewed concerns about the duke’s health as he approaches his landmark 100th birthday. 

Philip has made few public appearances since officially retiring from public duties in 2017, though he did release a message thanking the medical community during the COVID pandemic.

Prior to that, the Duke of Edinburgh had a successful hip operation at the private King Edward VII hospital in Marylebone, central London, in 2018 shortly before the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. 

In January 2019, Philip emerged unscathed after his vehicle was involved in a traffic accident that injured two people near the Queen’s Sandringham estate in Norfolk.  

The couple are self-isolating at Windsor and, prior to the wedding, had reportedly not seen members of the family since the lockdown began in mid-March.

Philip enjoyed a quiet celebration for his birthday last month by sharing a special lunch with the Queen.

The Queen has now seen six of her eight grandchildren marry.

The Duke of Edinburgh leaves King Edward VII Hospital in London, after being admitted for observation and treatment in relation to a pre-existing condition on 24 December, 2019

She and Prince Philip have been in isolation at their Windsor residence since the start of lockdown, allowing them to spend more time together than they have done in ‘many years’, one expert noted. 

To mark the duke’s milestone birthday last month, the Royal Family released a photo of released a new photograph of the couple standing side-by-side in the quadrangle at Windsor Castle.

In April Prince Philip came out of retirement to deliver a heartfelt thank you to key workers who are helping to make sure ‘the infrastructure of our life continues’ in the coronavirus pandemic.

The Duke of Edinburgh said he wanted to recognise the ‘vital and urgent’ medical and scientific work taking place to battle the deadly virus.

Like her husband, the Queen appeared in excellent spirits as they left the service and looked resplendent in mint green for the occasion

The monarch and Prince Philip have been in isolation at their Windsor residence since the start of lockdown, allowing them to spend more time together than they have done in ‘many years’, one expert noted 

Sat in the backseat of a green Range Rover beside his wife of 73 years, the prince looked smart in a dark coloured suit, white shirt and striped tie

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams said the country will have been inspired by Philip’s words. 

The Duke of Edinburgh has spent much of his retirement at his cottage, Wood Farm, in the sanctuary of the Sandringham estate, more than 100 miles away from the Queen, who was usually at Buckingham Palace or at Windsor.

But they were reunited at the Berkshire castle four months ago for their safety after Philip was flown there by helicopter on March 19 ahead of lockdown. 

Joe Little, managing editor of Majesty magazine, said: ‘This must be the longest they’ve been under the same roof for many years, I would say. But it’s an opportunity for them in their later years to reconnect.’

The Queen, pictured today leaving her granddaughter Princess Beatrice’s wedding with her husband, has now seen six of her eight grandchildren marry

He added: ‘It is the perfect royal cocooning.’

Royal expert Camilla Tominey agreed it is ‘arguably’ the most amount of time the Queen has spent with her husband in recent years.

Speaking on This Morning she said: ‘They’re there for the foreseeable future. It’s quite nice in a way that they are together when they wouldn’t have normally been this time of year.’

She added that next year the Queen will send Prince Philip a telegram for his 100th birthday. 

‘They are planning tentatively the 100th birthday celebration, of course, she’ll give him a telegram that’s what she does when people turn 100,’ Camilla said.

On the eve of Prince Philip’s 99th birthday the royal family released a new photograph of the Queen, 94, and the Duke of Edinburgh, who have been married for 73 years, standing side-by-side in the quadrangle at Windsor Castle. The photo was taken at the castle a week previously

The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh are staying with a reduced household of around 20 staff, dubbed Operation HMS Bubble, and Mr Little said the monarch and Philip most likely have lunch or dinner together each day while spending other time on their separate interests.

Philip keeps himself busy reading, writing and painting, and even released a rare public statement in April – his first since his retirement – praising key workers and those making sure that essential services are kept running during the coronavirus pandemic.

As well as enjoying riding her fell ponies in Windsor Home Park, the Queen – the nation’s longest reigning monarch – has her official duties to deal with, including her red boxes of papers and regular telephone audiences.

The royal couple have been pictured at Windsor throughout the years including in the grounds of the castle more than 60 years ago in 1959, accompanied by Sugar, one of the many royal corgis.

The success of the Queen and Philip’s long-lasting marriage has often been put down to their differing personalities. 

In 2007, the couple celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary by travelling to Malta, where they had lived for a short time as a young couple.

In 2012, they marked their blue sapphire anniversary – 65 years – and in 2017 passed the rare, personal milestone of 70 years of marriage – their platinum wedding anniversary.
