TitleTebbutt Collection (2)
DescriptionMost of this collection consists of the papers of Charles Prentice Tebbutt of Bluntisham (c1824-1910), of his wife Mary Goodman of Wyton (1829-1891, and of their children, in particular Charles Goodman Tebbutt of Eynesbury and Bluntisham (1860-1944) and Colonel Louis Tebbutt of Cambridge (1862-1947). This collection also contains some earlier records relating to the parents of Charles Prentice Tebbutt, Matthew and Mary Ann Tebbutt (nee Clarke) and to Mary Goodman's parents, Joseph and Rose Goodman (nee Danns).
Both the Tebbutt and Goodman families were prominent nonconformists - Matthew Tebbutt was a lay preacher and supporter of Bluntisham Baptist Chapel, and some of Joseph Goddman's sermons preached at Houghton in the 1840s and 1850s are to be found this collection. Joseph was also a partner with Potto Brown in a flour-milling business at Houghton Mill and later at St Ives.
This collection contains a wide variety of Tebbutt and Goodman correspondence and papers, ranging from sermons, illustrated manuscript magazines produced by the children of the families in the 1840s and 1850s, diaries, papers relating to skating and hockey, to travel abroad and to the drainage of the River Great Ouse . There is also an abundance of genealogical material relating to the Tebbutt and Goodman families.
Charles Goodman Tebbutt was a keen sportsman, but his passion was ice - and speed - skating. In 1887 he won the International Speed Skating Championship in the Netherlands and scattered through the boxes in this collection are his maps, diaries, photographs and correspondence relating to this sport. He was also involved in Ouse drainage in the 1920s, and again many papers related to this topic can be found in the collection.
The papers of Colonel Louis Tebbutt consist mostly of personal correspondence and private papers. These include details of the barographs and thermographs he presented to Cambridge and Bluntisham and of his commissioning of two panels painted by Mr MacDonald Gill for the Palace of Westminster in the 1930s. The collection also contains papers relating to his two sons, Oswald Neville Tebbutt and Roger Joseph Tebbutt, who were both killed in action in the First World War.
