Titchfield Carnival

Titchfield Carnival. Source: Southern Daily Echo

During the week of the October half term holiday Titchfield in Hampshire holds its annual autumn Carnival. The carnival’s origins go back four hundred years to when the Earl of Southampton began to charge the local boatmen for use of the newly constructed canal which connected Titchfield to the sea, in 1610. The outrage the townspeople felt at this blatant act of exploitative profiteering led to the Earl being burned in effigy. The protest eventually evolved into the annual burning of the effigy of any hate figure, accompanied by much gleeful merry-making. These days the carnival closes Titchfield for the day and consists of a fancy dress procession, floats, stalls, games and charitable fund raising. In the evening, bonfires are burned and fireworks set off. The event’s political origins are reflected in the commentary that forms part of many of the floats’ decorations and mocking current ludicrous political figures is very much encouraged, which in 2023 probably includes the entire government front bench.

This time of year also saw ploughing matches take place, in which farm workers would make sport out of necessity by competing as to the straightness and depth of their furrows and their ability to control and direct their mighty plough horses. Allegedly the contests were supervised by the mysterious secret society of Horsemen, which apparently still exists.

Looking back on some amazing moments watching owls for International Owl Awareness Day. I saw the Long-eared Owl my first ever at Cley Spy, Glandford in Norfolk earlier this year meaning I've seen five owl species in my life, and I can't help but think back to books in my early birdwatching days especially the sticker book that got me into birds and these were the five British owl species in them and longing to see them and it feels so thrilling that I have now seen all five. Especially over the last few years I have been very fortunate to have amazing times seeing these iconic birds.

Respecto a Titchfield…

Honestamente no sé si mi admiración surgió simplemente porque él era un hombre rebelde, o por poseer una esencia humana especial reflejada en su personalidad, y jovialidad, al momento de vivir su adolescencia. El como determinaba su camino en la vida apegándose más a la libertad y la rebeldía, adoptando así un tipo de anarquismo insurrecionalista como estilo de vida, este fue uno de los factores determinantes para lograr cautivar mi ermitaña energía, así que aquí va mi análisis ante este excéntrico personaje, por más trivial que haya sido esta obra.

Gary Titchfield

Como todo adolescente noventero promedio, soñaba con tener una banda y ser reconocido por su desempeño artístico… o desde mi perspectiva, ser un modelo a seguir para próximas generaciones, tal como Ian Brown, vocalista de Stone Roses lo fue para el. Pero más que artísticamente, Titchfield deseaba ser admirado por lo excéntrico y desafiante que él era al liderar su propia banda “The Palaver” en la cual era Frontman y escritor.

Aunque como yo lo percibí, fue nada más y nada menos que un capricho de un niño el cual sufría de problemas intrafamiliares, y debía lidiar con estos. Tales como su hermano mayor; quien tenía serios problemas de adicción y cleptomanía, su hermano de en medio el cual vivía en una situación de extrema vulnerabilidad, el jefe de hogar que era su padre con una enfermedad terminal, y su madre la que debido a todos estos factores mencionados anteriormente ignoraba por completo la existencia de su hijo menor, Gary.

Esta problemática social no fue desarrollada con mucha profundidad durante el filme, pero si se da a entender de manera superficial el funcionamiento inestable de esta familia casi inexistente a ese punto.

Volviendo al capricho adolescente que sufría Titchfield, él nunca anheló musicalmente hablando el obtener conocimientos que lo convirtieran en una estrella, obteniendo una posible posición escénica en la industria, no así comparado con Dodge (su mejor amigo), el cual dejó Manchester para encaminarse en busca de verdaderamente conseguir desempeñarse como guitarrista, y lograr construir algún movimiento musical importante donde él pudiera ser finalmente oído y valorado por el público del Reino Unido.

Pienso que esto se debe a la forma en que ambos veían la industria, para Dodge era un método de expresión y creación donde podía sentirse confiado y tranquilo, sin temer a ser juzgado por tal como era. En cambio, para Titchfield era un lugar donde por fin podía acaparar toda la atención y la aprovecharía para llevarle la contraria a la autoridad que estimase conveniente. Titchfield era el que se llevaba las críticas y autorías de piezas musicales aveces compuestas completamente por Dodge, Gary tomaba todo el reconocimiento mediático juvenil cuando nunca abrió su corazón dejando registradas sus emociones en la hoja, o no hacía sentir a las personas como él se sentía al tocar la guitarra, porque claro… Titchfield no era el talentoso escritor, ni compositor, ni siquiera era la mente tras las posibles temáticas, siempre fue Dodge.

Fun Facts About “Tytchfell Abbey”

Last week, my story, “Tytchfell Abbey” was published in Black Cat Weekly 115. If you’re interested in reading it, you can buy it here for your Kindle. As with my other stories, this post is about the Fun Facts/Behind-the-Scenes of the creation of “Tytchfell Abbey.”

The title, “Tytchfell Abbey” is both a nod to the show/movies “Downton Abbey” and Austen’s gothic parody, “Northanger Abbey.” I actually based the descriptions of Tytchfell Abbey on Highclere Castle, which is where “Downton Abbey” is filmed. There is also a Titchfield Abbey, that I borrowed from.

The protagonist of this story is named Cassandra Hollingsworth. She was named after Jane Austen’s sister and best friend, Cassandra Austen. Cassandra was an artist in her own right; because of her talents we have the only authenticated portrait of Jane Austen. Hollingsworth was an old friend’s last name. I thought it sounded aristocratic enough to be used for a Regency Era story.

I pictured Cassandra Hollingsworth looking like Charlotte Spencer, who portrayed Esther Denham in Andrew Davies’ Jane Austen fanfic series “Sanditon.”

Methodist Dissenters is mentioned. In the Georgian and Regency Era, many Evangelicals wished to reform the Anglican Church and attempted to do so, and when that didn’t happen, they broke away. They were considered Religious Dissenters. Hannah More, William Wilberforce, the Wesley brothers were Evangelicals, just to name a few. Some who dissented formed their own sect which evolved into the Methodist denomination. A good book to read about the subject is “Fashionable Goodness,” by Brenda S. Cox. I did a review on it a few months back.

“Tytchfell Abbey” is the first Regency Era mystery I wrote. I always wanted to write a Regency Era story and I loved playing around with Austen’s themes and language. I’m due to write another story from that period.

I originally considered doing a series of short stories featuring Cassandra Hollingsworth solving mysteries…I may have to revisit that idea.

The story is set in 1813 – the year “Pride and Prejudice” was published. The novel was released in January and “Tytchfell Abbey” is based in May. It’s safe to say that Cassandra read the book and is waiting for her very own Mr. Darcy to crop up. Otherwise, ladies of her station would have to teach, become a governess, a companion, or they would descend into genteel poverty – like Mrs. Bates in Austen’s “Emma.”

Gothic novels are referenced. 18th century authors such as Ann Radcliffe, Horace Walpole, Matthew Lewis sold their hair-raising novels and the public loved them. Later, in the 19th century, Mary Shelley, Edgar Allen Poe, the Bronte sisters, and Dickens employed Gothicism in their fiction. Austen wrote her gothic parody “Northanger Abbey” (which was originally titled as “Susan”) in the late 1790s and sold it in 1803, but it sat in publication limbo for thirteen years. She had to buy it back; later her brother Henry informed the editor who let it sit in limbo, that the editor missed out on publishing the work by the famed-but anonymous authoress of “Pride and Prejudice.” “Northanger Abbey” was published posthumously, alongside “Persuasion.”
