	Sir Grenville Louis John Temple, self-styled 12th baronet
	The following article appeared in The Washington Post of 12 December 1919:-
	No little American interest pertained to the pretensions of Grenville Louis Temple, who has just died at Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, as a member of the famous Northwest Mounted Police, to the ancient baronetcy of Temple of Stowe, one of the very first created by James I, dating from the year 1611. A former officer of the Twentieth regiment of infantry of the British army, he succeeded his father as twelfth baronet of his line as a 2-year-old boy in 1860, and bore the title without any interruption until 1910 - that is to say, for exactly half a century - when the warrant, signed by Edward VII only a few weeks before his death, came into force.
	This edict decreed that an official record of the Order of Baronets should be prepared and kept at the home department and that no person whose name was not comprised on the roll should be officially acknowledged or addressed as a baronet. By the same warrant the late king appointed a royal commission for the examination of all claims to inscription on the roll, and this resulted in the disappearance of a number of baronets with doubtful titles from the 1911 edition of Burke's, Debrett's, Lodge's, Whittaker's [sic] and other standard works of reference, more or less semi-official, devoted to the enumeration of peerages, baronetcies and knighthoods.
	Among the baronets who thus disappeared from the scene was 'Sir' Grenville Louis Temple, of Stowe, to whose family three entire pages of "Burke's" were devoted in its volume for 1910 and in its previous issues. The house of Temple is a very ancient one, being descended from Earl Leofric and his countess, the famous Lady Godiva, who is said to have ridden in the garb of Mother Eve through the streets of Coventry, unseen by any man save Peeping Tom.
	Other descendants of Leofric and of the original Lady Godiva have been Robert Temple, lord of the manor of Temple, in Leicestershire, in the reign of Henry III, and Peter Temple, who obtained from Edward VI a grant of the Manor of Stowe, in Buckinghamshire, as well as his grandson, Thomas Temple of Stowe, who was created a baronet by James I in 1611. Sir Thomas had thirteen children, and Fuller, in his "Worthies of England", relates that Lady Temple lived to see no less than 700 of her own descendants.
	When Sir Richard Temple, the 7th baronet, died without issue in 1786, George Temple, Marquis of Buckingham and father of the first Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, as the member of the Temple family highest in rank and as owner of Stowe, addressed a letter to his kinsman John Temple, a native of Boston, Mass., and at the time British consul general for the United States residing in New York, announcing to him formally that the Temple baronetcy had devolved upon him (the consul general) as next in the line of succession and as a descendant of the Rev. Dr. Thomas Temple, third son of the first  baronet.
	The consul general in consequence thereof assumed the title of "Sir John Temple, bart." Lord Buckingham further informing him that he had taken care to convey the news to Lord Carmarthen, then secretary of state, so that the consul general should be addressed as "Sir John" in all official communications.
	Sir John married a daughter of James Bowdoin, governor of the State of Massachusetts, and one of his daughters, Elizabeth, married Thomas Winthrop, also governor of Massachusetts.
	Sir John was succeeded in the baronetcy by his son Grenville, a native of Boston, and who married as his first wife a daughter of Col. George Watson of that city and secondly Maria, daughter of Sir Thomas Rumbold. The tenth baronet married Mary Baring, niece of Lord Ashburton and the "Sir" Grenville Temple who has just passed away at Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, was his grandson and heir.
	Now, if the Marquis of Buckingham insisted upon Consul General John Temple assuming the baronetcy of Temple of Stowe in 1786, it is because he believed that as a descendant of the Rev. Dr. Thomas Temple, third son of the first baronet, the consul general was the senior heir. This would undoubtedly have been correct had the whole issue of the baronet's second son become extinct. This, however, was not the case.
	It was subsequently shown there were several descendants in the male line from the second son of the first baronet, and if the royal commission on the baronetage appointed by King Edward to investigate the rights of baronets to their dignities before placing these on the official register turned down the late "Sir" Grenville Louis Temple, of the Northwest mounted police, in 1910, it was because he could not furnish them with satisfactory proofs that all the male descendants of the second son of the first baronet had become extinct. Being far from rich, he realized it would involve far too costly expenditure to secure proof of the extinction of these Temple descendants whose rights were prior to his own, and so he preferred to abandon the title without any further efforts to retain it.
	During the period 'Sir' Grenville was living in Saskatchewan, an imposter, whose real name was William Runciman, posed as Sir Grenville Temple and married at least two women before being unmasked and sentenced to five years' imprisonment.
	Sir Charles Tennant, 1st baronet
	Sir Charles was the grandson of Charles Tennant (1768‑1838), a Scottish chemist and industrialist who discovered bleaching powder and built a massive industrial empire in Scotland. Sir Charles was reputed to be the richest commoner in Scotland during the nineteenth century. His company dominated the local economy around the St. Rollox area of Glasgow and the huge chimney of his chemical works (known as Tennant's Stalk) was, at 455 feet, one of the tallest structures in the world until it was struck by lightning in 1922 and had to be demolished.
	Sir Charles' virility appears to have matched his business success. He married twice; firstly in 1849 to Emma Winsloe, who died in 1895, and secondly in 1898 to Marguerite Miles. Several of his children became successful in their own right - his eldest son was created Baron Glenconner in 1911; another son, Harold, was a cabinet minister during WW1, a daughter, Margot, married Herbert Asquith, later Prime Minister and Earl of Oxford and Asquith and another daughter was created a life peeress as Baroness Elliot of Harwood in 1958. The time period between the birth of his oldest and youngest children was 49 years, a record that very few would have equalled. The periods between the birthdate of Sir Charles and the date of death of his daughters, Margaret, Baroness Wakehurst of nearly 171 years (4 November 1823 to Aug 1994) and Katherine, Baroness Elliot of Harwood of 170 years (4 November 1823 to 3 January 1994) would also be difficult to beat.
	Sir John Courtenay Throckmorton, 5th baronet
	Sir John won a remarkable wager in 1811. The following version of the wager is taken from the Canterbury (New Zealand) Star of 26 April 1899, reprinted from the Strand Magazine:-
	It is no new thing for us to see records established one day and beaten the next, the top place nowadays being no sooner reached by one individual than challenged by another. The record in the manufacture of cloth, however, with which this article deals, though of eightyὝeight years' standing, has never yet been eclipsed. The scene of this remarkable achievement in the sartorial art is the village of Newbury, Berkshire, and it came about in this way. Mr. John Coxeter, a then well-known cloth manufacturer, the owner of Greenham Mills, at the above-named village, remarked in the course of conversation one day in the year 1811, to Sir John Throckmorton, Bart., of Newbury, "So great are the improvements in machinery which I have lately introduced into my mill, that I believe that in twenty-four hours I could take the coat off your back, reduce it to wool, and turn it back into a coat again." The proverb says. "There's many a true word spoken in jest."
	So great an impression did Mr. Coxeter's boast make upon the Baronet, that shortly afterwards he inquired of Mr. Coxeter if it would really be possible to make a coat from sheep's wool between the sunrise and sunset of a summer's day. That gentleman, after carefully calculating the time required for the various processes, replied that in his opinion it could be done.
	Not long after the above conversation, which took place at a dinner party, Sir John Throckmorton laid a wager of a thousand guineas that at eight o'clock in the evening of June 25, 1811, he would sit down to dinner in a well-woven, properly made coat, the wool of which formed the fleeces of sheep's backs at five o'clock that same morning. Such an achievement appearing practically impossible to his listeners, his bet was eagerly accepted. Sir John entrusted the accomplishment of the feat to Mr. Coxeter, and shortly before five o'clock on the morning stated, the early rising villagers of Newbury were astonished to see their worthy squire, accompanied by his shepherd and two sheep, journeying towards Greenham Mills. Promptly at five o'clock operations commenced, and no time was lost in getting the sheep shorn. All implements to be used were placed in readiness on the field of action, and the smallest actual operations in the making of the coat were performed between the hours mentioned. The sheep being shorn, the wool was washed, stubbed, roved, spun, and woven, the weaving being performed by Mr. Coxeter, jun., who had been found by previous competition to be the most expert workman.
	The cloth thus manufactured was next scoured, fulled, tented, raised, sheared, dyed and dressed, being completed by four o'clock in the afternoon, just eleven hours after the arrival of the two sheep in the mill-yard. In the meantime, the news of the wager had spread abroad among the neighbouring villages, bringing crowds of people eager to witness the conclusion of this extraordinary undertaking. The cloth was now put into the hands of the tailor, Mr. James White, who had already got all the measurements ready during the operations, so that not a moment should be lost; and he, together with nine of his men, with needles all threaded, at once started on it. For the next two hours and a quarter the tailors were busy cutting, stitching, pressing, and sewing on buttons; in fact, generally converting the cloth into a "well-woven, properly made coat," and at twenty minutes past six Mr. Coxeter presented the coat to Sir John Throckmorton, who put the garment on before an assemblage of over five thousand people, and sat down to dinner with it on, together with forty gentlemen, at eight o'clock in the evening.
	The Tichborne Dole
	The "Tichborne Dole" is an annual charity event which takes place on 25 March each year at Tichborne House, when donations of flour are distributed to people living within the local parish. The festival dates from around 1150.
	The following story of the "Tichborne Dole" appeared in The Leisure Hour: an illustrated magazine for home reading on 20 March 1869. The reader will note that it was published at a time when the "Tichborne Claimant" was a household name throughout the United Kingdom.
	The rumours which have been floating during the last few years respecting a returned Australian emigrant claiming the ancient Baronetcy of Tichborne, which have resulted in the present trial in the Court of Common Pleas, recalls to mind a legend which has been current in the family for many generations; the truth of which the writer of this paper can so far vouch for, as it came to him from a member of the family.
	This very ancient house dates the possession of its patrimony, the manor of Tichborne, near Winchester, as far back as two centuries before the Norman Conquest. It is said to have derived its name originally from the river Itchen, at the head of which its possessions were situated, and thence was denominated De Itchenborne, which, in course of time, has been abbreviated into its present appellation of Tichborne.
	About the middle of the twelfth century, the then head of the family, a gallant knight named Sir Roger de Itchenbourne, married Mabel, only daughter and heiress of Sir Ralph de Lamerston, of Lamerston, in the Isle of Wight, by which he acquired considerable estates in that part of England, in addition to his own possessions in Hampshire. After many years of wedded happiness, during which the Lady Mabel became celebrated for her kindness and care of the poor, death now approaching, worn out with age and infirmity, she besought her loving husband, as her last request, that he would grant her the means of leaving behind her a charitable bequest, in the shape of a dole, or measure of bread, to be distributed annually on the 25th of March, the Feast of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, to all needy and indigent people who should apply for it at the hall-door, without respect of persons or excluding any who should make the demand. The said bread was to be the produce of a certain piece of ground situated within the present park palings, containing an area of fifteen acres, and of known value; but should the applicants be greater in number than the produce, the worth of 2d. in money was to be given to each person in its stead.
	The Lady Mabel's husband was induced to consent to his wife's request, only on condition of her being able to crawl or walk round the piece of ground demanded - a condition of apparent impracticability, from the fact of her having been bed-ridden for many years previous; and this was to be done, too, while a certain brand, or billet of wood, was burning on the fire at the hall at Tichborne. The venerable dame, however, nothing daunted, ordered her attendants to carry her to the place she had selected, where, being deposited on the ground, she seemed to receive a renovation of strength, and, to the surprise of her anxious and admiring lord - who began to wonder where this pilgrimage might end - as well as of all who saw her, she succeeded in crawling round several rich and goodly acres within the required time. The field which was the scene of Lady Mabel's extraordinary feat retains the name of "Crawls" to the present day. [Various sources agree that the area around which Lady Mabel crawled contains 23 acres.]
	As soon as her task was complete she was re-conveyed to her chamber, and, summoning the family to her bedside, in order to secure her gift to the poor, for whom it was designed, and to render it binding upon her descendants, she proceeded in a most solemn manner to deliver a prophecy respecting the future inheritors of Tichborne; predicting its prosperity as long as the annual dole existed, and leaving her malediction on any of her descendants who should be so mean or covetous as to discontinue or divert it; declaring that when such should happen,the old house would fall, the family would become extinct, from the failure of heirs male and that, as a final warning of their decay, a generation would appear of seven sons, followed immediately by one with seven daughters and no sons.
	The custom thus founded in the reign of Henry II continued to be observed most regularly for centuries. The 25th of March became the annual festive day of the family, and the friends and different branches of the house of Tichborne came far and near to witness and assist at the performance of Lady Mabel's legacy. In the year 1670 Sir Henry Tichborne, the third baronet of that name, and the direct lineal heir of Sir Roger and Lady Mabel, employed Giles Tilbury, [Gillis van Tilborch (c 1625‑c 1678)] an eminent Flemish painter, to represent the ceremony of distributing the Tichborne Dole. The picture was highly valuable as giving a faithful representation of Old Tichborne House in the time of Charles II, which [William] Camden [in his work "Britannia"] nearly a century previous had declared to be "a very ancient house". This picture passed by marriage into the hands of Michael Blount, Esq., of Maple Durham, in Oxfordshire, who had married Mary Agnes, the eldest daughter of Sir Henry Joseph Tichborne [the 4th baronet], and it was sold by his descendants for the nominal value of £400 to the late Sir Edward Doughty, the 9th baronet of the house of Tichborne, who assumed the name of Doughty on succeeding to the estates of his relative, Miss Doughty, of Snarford Hall, in Lincolnshire.
	The dole continued to be given without a single omission down to the end of the eighteenth century, when, under the pretence of attending the distribution of the Tichborne dole, vagabonds, gypsies, and idlers of every description, assembled from all quarters, pilfering throughout the neighbourhood, and causing many complaints amongst the magistrates and surrounding gentry. It was abolished by Sir Henry Tichborne in 1799, partly on account of the enormous tax it had become on the family, and partly to prevent a recurrence of the disorders which the annual distribution produced.
	Then began the fulfilment of Lady Mabel's prediction. In 1803, four years after the cessation of the gift, a portion of the house fell, and the remainder was pulled down, the materials were sold, and the surrounding moat was filled up. Sir Henry, the seventh baronet of the name of Tichborne, who had abolished the dole, had seven sons - Henry Joseph, who succeeded him in the title and estates, and became the father of seven daughters, but without a son; Benjamin [Edward, born 1780] who died unmarried in 1810; Edward, who became the 9th baronet, but who left no heir as his only son died before him; James Francis, the 10th baronet, of whom presently; John Michael, who was unmarried [born 1788], who was unmarried and slain in the mutiny at Vellore, near Madras, in 1806; George [born 1789] who died unmarried in 1802; and Roger Robert, the seventh and youngest son [born 1792], who married Rebecca, the daughter of A.F. Nunez, Esq., of Belmont Park, but died childless in 1849.
	Sir Henry, the eighth baronet, and eldest of the seven sons, married Anne, daughter of Sir Thomas Burke, Baronet, of Marble Hill, and by her had seven daughters in the following order:- 1. Eliza Anne, married to Joseph [11th] Lord Dormer; 2. Frances Catherine, to Henry Benedict, [11th] Lord Arundell of Wardour; 3. Julia, to Charles Talbot, Esq., who became the mother of Bertram, seventeenth Earl of Shrewsbury [she subsequently married Washington Hibbert]; 4. Mary, who died unmarried in 1827; 5. Catherine Caroline, married to Colonel Greenwood, of the Grenadier Guards; 6. Lucy Ellen, to John Towneley, Esq.; and Emily Blanche, the seventh and youngest, who married John, the eldest son of John Bennett, Esq., M.P. for the county of Wilts [and subsequently to Matthew Higgins].
	In 1826, Sir Henry's second brother, Edward, who eventually became the ninth baronet, having inherited the extensive property of Miss Elizabeth Doughty, of Snarford Hall, was obliged by the strict terms of her will to drop the name of Tichborne entirely, and assume that of Doughty solely; thus fulfilling in some measure that part of Lady Mabel's prediction which foretold that the name would become extinct. Sir Edward Doughty married, in June, 1827, Katherine, daughter of James, ninth Lord Arundell of Wardour, and had an only son, who died before he attained the age of six years. Sir Edward's brother, James, who eventually became the tenth baronet, married Henrietta Felicita, daughter of Henry Seymour, Esq., of Knoyle, in Wiltshire, and had two sons, Roger Charles, who was lost at sea off the coast of South America in 1854 (the recent claimant from Australia calls himself the said Roger), and Alfred Joseph, the eleventh baronet, whose son Henry, a posthumous child of a few years old, is now in possession of the title and estates.
	When the only son of Mr. Edward Doughty (subsequently the ninth baronet) died, May 30th, 1835, the hitherto singular fulfilment of the prophecy struck him so forcibly, that he besought his elder brother, Sir Henry Joseph, to restore the ancient dole, which he agreed to do; and it was again distributed, with certain restrictions, in flour, and confining it to the poor of the parish of Tichborne only, instead of being promiscuously given to all comers as before, on the 25th of the following March, 1836, after a suspension of thirty-seven years, and in this manner it continues to be distributed to the present day.
	The ancient dole measure, in which the bread was weighed out, is still preserved in the family mansion, and has on one side the inscription "Fundatum Henrico Secundo regnante", and on the other, "Tichborne Dole Weight, 1lb. 10oz. avoir". The custom in general every year was to bake about 1,200 loaves, but on one occasion, when the 25th of March fell upon a Sunday, not less than 1,225 loaves were distributed, with sums of 2d. each to the value of £8. Giles Tilbury's fine painting, to which we have before alluded, representing the distribution of the dole in the year 1670, in the courtyard of the old mansion, and including upwards of 100 portraits, is still to be seen at the hall [and can be seen on-line in the Wikipedia entry for Gillis van Tilborch]. An account of Chedecke Tichborne, an ill-fated member of the family who perished on the scaffold in the sixteenth century, may be found is Disraeli's "Curiosities of Literature". Whether the resumption of Lady Mabel's gift may be considered sufficient to ward off the fatal prediction which foretold the failure of the family, time alone will show. The male race may be said to be confined to a single infant two or three years of age - for we are not disposed to give the slightest credence to the story of the Australian claimant, without proofs that be found satisfactory to a court of law.
