Walmer Castlt.
A
I ? MONO -tl?? nuuierous historical
structures which the British
cherish because in?them, they
feel. Is visibly incorporated
the prestige of England, not the least
picturesque and Interesting is Walmer
^astle, on the coast of Kent, the offi
cial home of the lorfl warden of the*
Oinque ports.
The lord wardenship is an older and
more plctuifesque monument than Wal
mer castle. The office of lord war
den Is far more ancient than his
dwelling. About that office are gath
ered the earliest activities out of
which th? British navy grew, writes
Martin Conway in Country Life. The
present functions of the lord warden
may not be of any executive value as
contributing to national defense, but,
as long as there Is a lord warden liv
ing at Wal?er, the sinful beginnings of
the navy In a remote past remain vis
ibly "memorialised. Such a memorial
Is more efficient than any pile of stone
that the ingenuity of man could raise.
Nothing more vividly brings the past
Into the present or enforces on living
men the amount of their Indebtedness
to those from whom they descend than
a living ceremonial recurrently per
formed In accordance with an ancient
and unbroken tradition.
No one knows when t)ie lord war
denship was founded or by what
enrllest stages it came Into being. Ne
cessity enforced the defense* pf the
southeastern const of England, and to
that end the smalls maritime forces of
the little ports along It had to be co
ordinated. * The Orlglftril* .Ave ports
were Hastings, Romney, Hythe, Dover
and Sandwich; to these others were
added, as well as Inland localities
which had to contribute financial aid.
Ultimately t|ie Jurisdiction extended
round the coast from'Seaford In Sus
sex to near Margate In Kent.
Importance of the Cinque Ports.
Throughout the Middle Ages down
to the time -of Henry VII the Cinque
ports thus enlarged and organized had
to furnish the crown with nearly all
the ships and men needed for naval
purposes.! The oldest existing charter
dates from Edward I, but It refers to
older documents as fiu* back as the
time of Edward the Confessor. Duties
and corresponding prjylleges went on -
accumulating. Such an organization
could not-c?lat without * head, but his
office was of correspondingly gradual
growth. At one time It was an office
of' great power and Importance. H
was generally coupled with the gover
norship of Dover castle. The lord
warden was admiral of the ports. He
had his court of chancery at Dover.
He still retains the duty of appointing
the judge of the admiralty court of the
Oinque ports as well as the Justice#
of the peace la the same areas; but
his most important functions hive be
come decorative, monumental and pic
turesque, not, however, as aforesaid,^
unimportant.
* The maritime activity which led to
the discovery of America and the be
ginnings of a world commerce neces
sarlly made a great change In British
tjiaval affairs. Local levies of ships
and sailors were bound to be replaced
sooner or later by something in the
nature of a national navy. The change
Is already apparent In the days of
Henrv VIII, and from that time the
importance of the Cinque port, as the
nation's naval base Reclined and with
Jt the power of the lord warden. It is
noteworthy that the erection of Wal
, mer castle dates from this period. It
i was built In the reign of Henry VIII
' along with otlter castlea round llie
coast, such as the neighboring Deal
and Sandown and the remote Llndis
farne' on Holy Island In Northumber
land. Previously the cosst had been
protected* by * ' succession of earth
works, the Great and Little Bulwarke,
fer Instance, within the parish of Wal
mer. They had embrasures for guns,
and were connected by communication
trenches.
Puttt by Henry VIII. ;
The Kentish castles built by Henry
VDI were completed about 1M0 and
placed under the control of the Urd
warden. The following description of
them Is compressed from Elgin: In
the center Is the keep?a circular tow
er containing a bomb proof magazine
for ammunition. It is surronnded by
bastions with Jlfty-two port-holes be
tow, commanding the encompassing
modL- Tannels of chimneys were con
trived to <*arry off the smoke of the
guns. There were larger embrasures
for cannon near the upper part of the
bastions. The'entrance from the land*
ward side was by a drawbridge and
strong machlcolated gateway. Within
each castle was a well. The bastion
walls were 20 feet thick below and 11
feet above. Their architect was prob
ably one Steven von Haschenperg.
The garrison of Walmer consisted of
a captain, lieutenant, two porters, ten
gunners and four soldiers.
Leas than a century later we read
of Walmer castle as much decayed and
threatened by the sea at high tides;
moreover, rain drives Into the rooiufi
and powder houses, the gate is decayed
"with loose stones hanging over," and
so forth. It was presumably patched
up. During the Civil war the castles
changed hands more than once. Wal
mer was besieged by Parliament troops
In 1048, and held out for a month be
fore surrendering. It was "much
spoiled with the grnnades," but the
repairs were only estimated to cost
?300. The castles continued to be of
military Importance throughout the
seventeenth century.
Additions by Lord Wardens.
The first lord Warden to make Wal
mer castle his residence was the d^uke
of Dorset, appointed In 1708 and again
In 1727. About 1780 he mado various
alterations and additions to the old
structure to provide the necessary ac
commodation for a household; further
considerable additions were made by
Mr. lMtt, the earl of Liverpool, and
Earl Oranvllie. Apart from certain
.?chamber* belonging to the original
military work and since merely adapt
ed to the uses of domestic service, the
oldest parts of the existing mansion
are the chamber* built by the duke of
Dorset. Buck's view, dated 1785,
shows the general aspect of this build
ing. It is raised over the central mass
of the castle and follows the outlines
of Its walls. There Is nothing remark
able about the architecture or the dec
oration of the rooms. A small central
hall, a long passage leading through It,
with others branching off as con
venience dictated?these are the ele
ments of the plan. The plain stons
?wall is pierced by oblong sash-win
dows and the crest of the wall la
battlemented. ,
The duke of Dorset's additions were
mainly on^the sea front, which re
mains mueh aa he left It? I bollovo
the drawing-room was hla?a pleasant,
sunny chamber?but Lord Grahvllle
added to It Mr. Pitt "built the rooma
over the southern rampart. Finally,
in 1865. Lord Oranville added a stoir
containing thirteen rooms over the
gate-house bastion. He also bnllt the
tower. The stone employed came from
the demolition of Sandown castle. He
added to the drawing-room, as an al
cove, the little room in which it is as
serted that Nelson and Pitt used 14
confer.
There Is nothing atately or Impres
sive about the aspect of the Interior,
but the Irregularity of the plan adds to
the effect of domestic comfort awrprt
vacy which pervades the house. One
can easily understand how successive
families have become attached to It
Externally there are several quite Im
pressive points of view, chiefly those
which command khe massive and pre
cipitous walls rising from the moat
One of the walls, pulled down on the
occasion of Queen Victoria's visit to
make a new dining-room, was soon
afterward rebuilt Talleyrand when
he visited Walmer Insisted on sleeping
In Pitt's room.

The Whole Secret of
A Better lire
Simpfy a Matter of the Maker's Policies
This you will realize-?once you
try a Brunswick?that a super-tire
is possible only when the name
certifies that the maker is follow**
ing the highest standards.
For tire making is chiefly a mat
ter of standards and policies?cost
plus care. Any maker can build a
good tire if he cares to pay per
fection's price.
s
All men know Brunswick stand
ards* for Bruns^Vick products have
been famous for 74 years.
Formulas, f&brics and standards
vaiy vastly in cost. Reinforce
ments, plies arf3 thickness are a
matter of expense. And these vari
ations affect endurance. It rests
with the maker how far he wishes
to go?-how much he can afford
to give.
For there are no secrets nor pat
ents to hold one back.
?
To ascertain what each maker
offers one must analyze and test
some 200 tires?as our laboratories
have done.
. Then it is a matter of combining
the best features and building ac
cording to the highest standards.
Once you try a Brunswick you
will understand how we have built
model tires, regardless of factory
expense.
Yet Brunswick Tires cost you the
same as other like-type tires. Our
saving is on selling cost, through
our nation-wide organization.
We realize that you expect more
from Brunswicks, and we assure
you that you get it. ONE Bruns
wick will tell you the story.
And then youll want ALL
Brunswicks. No other tire, youll
Igree, gives so much foe your
money, #
