The Bulletin  

THE BASIC-WAGE “FREEZE”  

The Bulletin,” Vol. 74-No. 3847  

Wednesday, November 4, 1953  

Price 9d.  

Registered at the General Post Office, Sydney, N.S.W., Australia, for Transmission by Post as Newspaper  

Seppelts  

SIR HENRY PARKES WAS BORN IN THE SHADOW OF STONELEIGH ABBEY  

THE immense and beautiful mansion of Stoneleigh Abbey, standing in  

its spacious parkland beside the River Avon in Warwickshire, was built  

in the regal eighteenth-century style before income tax had been invented.  

The property belongs to Lord Leigh, who lives in part of the mansion which  

stands upon the site formerly occupied by twelfth-century Cistercian  

Abbey Church. Apart from the gatehouse, no external traces of the Abbey  

now remain, but portions of the monastical buildings are incorporated in the  

vaulted undercroft beneath one wing of the house.  

Stoneleigh Abbey was the first of many monasteries destroyed by  

Henry VIII, and it remained ruin until purchased in 1561 by rich mer-  

chant, Thomas Leigh, who built on the site of the monastery spacious  

Elizabethan house. Thomas Leigh became Lord Mayor of London, and it  

was he who welcomed Queen Elizabeth. to the City of London in 1558,  

for which service he was knighted.  

In 1714 Lord Leigh replaced the west wing with the massive and beauti-  

fully proportioned Italianate west block which is one of the most graceful  

and famous of Stoneleigh’s many noble features. It is in this west block  

that are situated the superbly furnished and decorated state rooms which  

are open to the public.  

One of the most magnificent of these rooms is the white and gold  

Saloon conceived on the grandest scale and expressed in plaster work by  

Cipriani. It was the scene of banquet given for Queen Victoria and tne  

Prince Consort on the occasion of their visit to Stoneleigh in 1858. On me  

first floor is suite of rooms, complete even to pincushion, tised by  

Queen Victoria, and in Prince Albert’s Bedroom is the ornate Hapsburg  

Bed which once belonged to Napoleon's second wife, the Empiess Mane  

Louise. Other magnificent apartments are the Velvet Drawing Room,  

upholstered in the original crimson velvet of 1724; the Gilt Hall containing  

remarkable Elizabethan armorial window; and the spacious library in wliicn  

is exhibited, among many other treasures, locket containing lock ot  

Prince Charlie’s hair. Bonnie Prince Charlie, under the assumed name ol  

Mr. Fox, took refuge at Stoneleigh Abbey and is said to have been  

smuggled away in wine barrel.  

Stoneleigh was the birthplace of Sir Henry Parkes (1815-96), known as  

the “Father of the Australian Commonwealth.”
