| Description | 'In Memory of the Sounds of Shelford Parva in Cambridge' by Fanny Lucretia Wale A history of Little Shelford, c.1908-1919
A painstakingly compiled history and description of Little Shelford contained in large volume with wooden covers, leather binding and metal buckle.
Folios as foliated 29 November 2010; versos are blank unless stated. Pages as page numbers assigned by Fanny Wale. Following the description of each page is the folio number of the photographic copy (R105/081) on which the page occurs. As that photographic copy was made when the book was still in separate sheets the sequence is often different, several additions to pages are not in the photographic copy, and there are 22 pages not photographed at all.
There is some suggestion that when originally conceived it may have been as loose sheets. This would explain the use of stiff picture mounts for five pages (fos. 15, 32, 38, 39 and 57 - see list below) and the labels 'Group I From Shelford Hole to Durnford Dale at the foot of the title page (fo.2) and 'Group IV' at the foot of fo.38. The same five mounts, and three others that is not found in the book, actually occur repeatedly in the photographic copy, showing that they were then loose and moved around when photographed. In two cases (fos.21 and 55) full size photographic copies of the mounts have themselves been cut out and pasted as borders to the pages.
I have identified the mounts as follows:
A fo. 15 Simple lattice work and foliage in black, with the title The Sain Foins at the top (making it particular to this page
B fo.32 Drawn floral decoration, meeting at the top with the compass arms of a weather vane and directing the reader to pages for Shelford, Newton, Hauxton, The Terrace and Camping Close, with at the bottom a poem, 'The Hare in pastures + in plains t'is found,…'.
C fo.38 Drawn floral decoration, meeting at the top with a label 'Little Shelford High Street' and either side 'From Westfields to Blackm…. and ….g the Entrance to the Terrace' [sic]
D fo.39 Lattice work with restrained floral decoration with at the top 'Entrance to Shelford Parva', below this a label containing 'All Saints' Church & Village Street' and either side 'A Record from Saxon Times… continued until AD 1915'.
E fo.57 Plain lattice work on three sides with at the top a label containing 'History by Louisa Wale written A.D. 1843 about All Saints Church and Rectory in [Shelfo]rd Parva illustrated by F.L. Wa[le] A.D. 1914'.
F [found in the photographic copy only] Intertwined aquatic plants on either side supporting at the top on bended fronds a label 'The Bridge and winding of the Granta to Durnford Mill', with at the foot an underwater view of carp swimming.
G [found in the photographic copy only] A painted and coloured decoration of flowers and leaves, with birds (upper border) and fox, fieldmouse and rabbit in lower.
H [found in the photographic copy only] A border of four intersecting larch sprigs with cones.
The absence of the last three highly imaginative mounts is curious and regrettable. Perhaps they have been used for pictures on a wall somewhere.
The most common technique or these pages is for the record to have been typed direct on to watercolour art paper (supplied and embossed by the Royal Watercolour Society) which then have been painted and otherwise decorated with sketches and watercolours around them, usually signed with a FLW monogram, five of the pages (as described above) being then placed within mounts that are bound into the book with textile hinges, the rest directly sewn in. In two cases (fos. 3, 78) a typed panel is inserted within decorated pages, and in one case (fo.30) the page is made up of two sheets joined horizontally about half-way. Watercolour sketches (including those by Malcolm Wale c.1830-50 (fo.9), RG Wale c.1853 and c.1850-90 (fo.10v, 53), and Marion Clay 1888 (fo.75, 76), prints, tracings of maps and photographs, etc. have also been pasted to the pages. Two of the drawings are copies by F.L. Wale from the sketchbook of her cousin Louisa S. Wale of Bagshot (d.1910), an electronic copy of the contents of which is also in Cambridgeshire Archives (R110/091).
Binding: bound within wooden boards with an elaborately-tooled leather spine. The spine divided by raised bands into eight compartments tooled with gold Tudor roses. Within the second and fourth compartments respectively 'A Record of Shelford Parva' and 'F.L. Wale'. Binding recorded inside back cover with dated monogram '19?FG?21'. Metalwork clasps on the front cover contain enamels of the armorial crests of West (F.L. Wale's mother's family) and Wale and on the back the names of West and Wale in capitals. The clasps retain half-inch-wide red leather straps with buckles. One buckle is detached and the pin of the other is missing. The leather is decayed.
