North Tuddenham Rectory was built in 1852. It’s
prime purpose to be the new home of the' Rev Robert Barry' and
his wife. The Coach House was built the following year in 1853.
Rev Barry was appointed rector of St Mary’s Church in the
parish of North Tuddenham, Norfolk on Friday 28th November 1851
following the death of the 'Rev Thomas Peacock' at the age of
95. Thomas was the father of 'George Peacock' the Dean of Ely
Cathedral appointed in 1839, a position he held for twenty years.
George also held the highest place in the mathematical honour
list at Cambridge. The new building replaced the old parsonage/rectory
where in 1795 the poet 'William Cowper' first stayed when he and
his companion 'Mary Unwin' nee Cawthorne moved to Norfolk on the
recommendation of the 'Revd Johnnie Johnson' of Yaxham who was
Cowper’s cousin. Mary Unwin was the widow of retired clergyman
'Morley Unwin' who had both befriended Cowper after one of his
attacks of depression where he tried to commit suicide.

A sketch of the old parsonage house at North
Tuddenham drawn in the days of William Cowper. The property
was demolished prior to 1851 to make way for the Rev Robert
Barrys new and present day premises. It appears to be closer
to St Mary's then the new building and it looks like it was
built from Wattle and daub. This was before the roof of St
Mary's church was raised, another building project undertaken
by the Rev 'd. |
Cowper left Buckingham on July 28th and arrived
at North Tuddenham (above) three days later. The property had
become available because the rector, Thomas Shelford, had died
in June. From the Parsonage House at North Tuddenham they moved
on to Dunham Lodge near Swaffham then Mundesley before finally
settling in East Dereham where Mary died in 1796 and then Cowper
in 1800. They are both buried in the St Edmunds Chapel (now called
the Cowper Chapel) in St Nicholas Church situated in the heart
of the town. The house in the market place where they lived was
demolished and a church built in its place designed by architect
'Edward Boardman' aptly now called ‘Cowper Memorial Congregational
Church’, which is still there today.
As we are later to discover Rev Barry came from
a very wealthy Yorkshire family. On reaching schooling age he
followed his elder brother John to the Anglican Shrewsbury School
in Shropshire as a boarder under the headmaster 'Samuel Butler'
who retired in 1836 and then 'Benjamin Hall Kennedy' (of Latin
Primer fame). Robert left in 1838. An earlier pupil of the school
having left in 1825 was 'Charles Robert Darwin' the English naturalist
and geologist best know for his contributions to the evolutionary
theory. The next record shows 'Robert Barry' being admitted to
St John’s College Cambridge on 25th January 1844 at the
age of 24. He obtained his Bachelor of Arts in 1848 and his Masters
in 1851. He was ordained on the 19th December 1847 at St Pauls
Cathedral by the Right Honourable and Right Reverend 'Charles
James', Lord Bishop of London. He was first appointed curate at
Whatton near Bingham, Nottinghamshire and then St Pancras London
where he would remain for two years before being appointed to
the Rectory at Hinderwell, Yorkshire. Robert Barry remained at
Hinderwell for just over a year, moving from there to North Tuddenham.

The Old Rectory from
St Mary's Churchyard
Note: For reasons unknown, the Rectory built by Rev Barry
has from about the 1950's been known as the 'Old Rectory'.
|
|
Here he held the living from 1851
till his death on 15th August 1904. In his time here he built
the new rectory, renovated the tithe barn (now demolished), and
oversaw extensive alterations to St Mary’s Church in 1868
which included raising the roof, new windows, tiling of the walls
to keep damp at bay and more, building a new village school in
1871 at his own cost to take 70 pupils under the first mistress
'Elizabeth Webster' and cottages. In all these projects he was
generously supported by his father, also named Robert. The railway
came to Dereham in 1847 opening the line from Wymondham so we
would assume this is how the Barrys travelled to their new home
in this remote rural Norfolk countryside.
'Revd Robert Barry' was born on the December 29,
1820 at Whitby (LDS) - He was baptised at Sy Mary The Virgin Church,
Whitby on January 1, 1821 - although in an obituary in the' Eagle'
University of Cambridge it states December 19th 1821 as his birth
date, which is wrong. Robert was the second son of 'Robert Barry'
(1792) and his wife 'Dorothy Heaviside'. His mother died giving
birth to his sister (Dorothy) named after her when Robert was
just 3 year old, his father never remarried. Robert was baptised/christened
on 1st January 1821 at Whitby. Rev Barry married 'Mary Ann Page'
on the 18th June 1850 at Camberwell London at this time he was
Rector of Hinderwell, Yorkshire. Mary was the eldest daughter
of 'Robert Page' a ship owner and merchant of Peckham Rye, London.
Rev Barry and Mary did not have children.

Historically it was traditional in families for
the first son to be favoured to inherit the family fortune, the
second son often went into the church or military, in the Barrys
case both brothers chose the church. It is not known why; maybe
there father (Robert 1792) was well aware of the pressures of
his trade and that it was a very competitive market and wanted
a more family orientated life for his children. Robert (1792)
had married 'Dorothy Heaviside' on 24th October 1818; the service
was performed by the Very Rev The Dean of York at Stokesley Yorkshire.
Dorothy was a daughter of John and Margaret Heaviside who were
dyers in Stokesley with a branch in London. Robert and Dorothy’s
first child, a boy was born in 1819 they named him John, he was
baptised on the 12th Oct at Whitby, followed by Robert in 1820
and a daughter in 1823 who was named Dorothy after her mother
who sadly died either during birth or shortly after at the early
age of 29.
The Haviside’s family in Stokesley were
dyers in the town for many years, with a branch in London; one
of the family was Captain Tom Havisides of the East India Company,
famous for his presence of mind in saving the cargo of the Royal
George from a fire in 1825, and after whom Heaviside's Dolphin
(Cephalorhynchus heavisidii) is named. Margaret Havisides' sister
Dorothy married Robert Barry of Park Hill, Fylingdale, near
Whitby, and died in 1823 aged 28. Some years later, John Langborne
named her widower (Robert Barry) a trustee of his Will.

John became rector of Great Smeaton, Yorkshire
in 1848 and married 'Letitia Anna Mercer' on 12th Sept 1850. They
had four children, John Warren (Aug 13th 1851), Louisa Dorothy
(1852), Robert Mercer (1853) and Emily Eupatan/Eupetoria Barry
(1854). Rev John Barry died on the 18th Aug 1856 at Great Smeaton,
aged just 36 of Chronic Bronchitis Certified (was he a heavy smoker)
- Sarah Carmela/Cambell Mercer (Letita's mother) of Northallerton
Vicarage was in Attendance.
It is recorded John Warren and his two sisters
were photographed by' Lewis Carroll' ('Charles Lutwidge Dodgson'
1832-1898) who's father was rector of Croft on Tees the neighbouring
parish. Lewis Carroll was a writer, mathematician, Anglican cleric,
photographer and artist. He is most famous for his writings of
'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland', its sequel 'Through the Looking-Glass'.

John Warren Barry had two trips to Corsica a mountainous
Mediterranean island of the coast of Italy. In 1898 a book he
wrote called 'Studies of Corsica' was published. It has recently
been reprinted by the British Library, Historical Print Editions.
John Warren initially spent five months travelling around the
island with the object of studying the ligneous vegetation of
the seaboard region, and so delighted was he by what he saw that
from September 1882 to February 1885 he discovered the area in
a more leisurely manner. His comments, from personal experience,
are concerned with social matters and living conditions.
Taken from: Voice of The Moors - Issue 144
- Winter 2022
Each ten-year census from 1881 to 1911 shows John was a single
man with servants. As memtioned above John travelled a great
deal throughout the Mediterranean in the 1880s, being particularly
captivated by Corsica, about which he wrote a 302-page book:
‘Studies in Corsica, Sylvan and Social’. Local tradition
says he had a disabled Italian lady friend – perhaps he
met her on his Mediterranean travels. He re-routed and improved
the carriage drive from Fyling Hall to the Scarborough road
so that she could travel there more easily than on the very
hilly roads from the Whitby direction, but the story goes she
never actually came to visit him.
Local farmer Tom Morley, whose family moved
when Tom was a small boy to Brock Hall, Fylingdales, becoming
tenants of the Barry estate. John Barry was described by Tom
as:
“a stiff little chap, always rigged
up like a gentleman, white scarf with a gold pin, yellow leather
leggings with a strap around them and buckled at the top;
polished leather boots. He always wore a hard hat and always
had a terrier dog with him which roamed ahead of him as he
went round the estate. A lot of the masons and the workers
– who weren’t over keen on work in them days –
used to keep an eye out and the dog gave them ten minutes’
warning.”
Tom Morley was in no doubt as to Barry’s
influence. “We were still at school and after we finished
about 4 o’clock time, I’ll bet you would meet him
between Gilsom Bank Top and Fyling Hall. You had to raise your
cap and the lasses had to curtsey, and I’ll bet if you
didn’t, the school gaffer would know next morning and
you’d be lucky if you didn’t get the cane. I daren’t
tell father when I got home because he’d say ‘You
deserve it and I’ll give you some more’.”
BARRY FAMILY CREST?
Above the rear porch door (below) of Fyling Hall, (the Barry Yorkshire
Home) is a crest in the form of a Wolfe. These symbols historically
were there to recognise a family's achievements, heritage and
legacy however, there is no evidence to prove this crest's authenticity
to this family or as to when it was installed on the porch. It
has come to light that one of the Barry descendants inherited
some cutlery which has the same crest engraved on the handles
(below) - There is also a signet ring.
The Barry's of the 1600 and 1700s were trades people so it is
unlikely they would have had a family Coat of Arms at that time
- There is also no mention of a crest in any of the archives.
So where did this crest come from - One possibility is John Warren
Barry was very much into the Barry family genealogy, he was convinced
his ancestors came from top Irish stock. He spent many years exploring
every avenue to prove this but eventually all his ambitions failed
and this remains so today.
It is also worth noting nether of the two direct male Barry lines,
Rev William Barry (1803-1884) of Blisworth and Rev Robert Barry
(1820-1904) of North Tuddenham ever used this crest.

As virtually all projects were financed by either
Robert Barry (1792) or his father John (1759) before him it is
worth taking a look at how the Barrys obtained their vast wealth
which ultimately financed and benefited many of their offspring,
many parishes and parishioners.
The Barrys were very prominent Ship
building/owners of Whitby, moving later to London. Their first
ship was registered in 1787 at Whitby although it is known they
had been active building ships at least twenty years before this
by the founder of the firm another 'Robert Barry' 1725-1793 father
to John (1759).
The firm had been run from a large
town house, the address of which was Bagdale, Whitby. The property
with its late eighteenth century façade stood in what later
became Station Square and was adjacent to the Barry shipyard.
Demolished in the 1920’s to make way for the present ‘bus
station’ it was for a time the residence of the Whitby station
master. John (1759) married 'Hannah Waite' on the 24th April 1788
at Whitby, they had eight children.
In 1819 John (1759) bought a large part of the
Fylingdales, Yorkshire including eleven farmsteads and a water-corn-mill
from' Lord Hotham' in whose family the lands have been since 1634.
At the same time they also had homes in London for after the war
with Napoleon there was a big slump in shipbuilding and Robert
(1792) made the decision that the firm needed to be more in the
heart of the mercantile trade so moved their offices to Bishops
Gate where they were able to concentrate on cargo, this would
later include the transportation of convicts. As the Barrys still
retained their shipyards they were able to refit their ships at
short notice making themselves available for quite a wide range
of assorted cargo's from all parts of the trading world. A large
number of their books, ledgers and letters are now in the National
Archives. Unfortunately quite a few are very faded but they still
give a very comprehensive insight of the mercantile business in
those times. When the railway came to the Whitby area Robert (1792)
was appointed director to the Northern Railways (Whitby to Pickering
line).
Held in the highest esteem by the Barrys was 'Captain
Edward Theaker' who commanded their ships for many years. On his
retirement Captain Theaker was often called upon as their trouble
shooter and was sent all over the world with very little notice.
There is a splendid account of the Rev Barrys
father (Robert 1792 and his grandfather
John 1759) highlighting their business and management skills in
a book called ‘Master Mariner Extraordinary’ by 'John
Howard'. It accounts for ‘The Life and Times of Captain
Edward Theaker of Staithes 1786 – 1865’. Here is some
of the opening page:
“John Barry 1759 – 1837, followed
by his son Robert Barry 1792 – 1871, sensitively tuned
to the changing demands for shipping, had pitted their wits
against events and fluctuations in the mercantile world for
almost half a century, seldom failing to secure freight for
their fleet of ships. When there was a call for transport to
ferry troops, artillery, horses, ammunition and provisions to
various theatres of war in the struggle against Napoleon, Barry
ships were made available. Astute business men that they were,
John and Robert Barry recognised that the risks involved were
high. At the same time, they realised that the rich rewards
would be worthwhile. Their ships were adapted to meet the needs
of the war effort and the resultant income carefully husbanded,
would be available to finance future ventures. In 1813, when
the East India Charter was renewed and revised the Barry ships
were among the first to seize the opportunities offered for
trade with the Indies. As well as developing and efficient organisation
as ship managers, the Barry family had a reputation for building
stoutly constructed vassals in their shipyard. In 1845, Robert
was also elected director of North Pickering Midland Railway
Company who had bought the site occupied by the Barry shipyard
and there built the station and its approaches. For almost eighty
years, the Barry shipyard had been kept busy, not only in constructing,
but in repairing vessels of all description".
North Tuddenham was not alone in Robert’s
(1792) generosity for he set in motion a large rebuilding programme
to update the 11 farmsteads on his estate including the watermill.
The Barrys carried out major works to 'Fyling Old Hall', they
lowered it a storey and ‘georgianised’ its appearance,
though original mullion windows survive within the gable walls.
'George Young', writing in 1817 described it as having been in
a ruinous state for a number of years previously, and this may
still have been the case as late as 1843. John Warren Barry lived
in the house later in the 19thC, before moving to Park Hill after
1871.

'Low Farm', Fylingdales, was another
model farmstead commissioned by Robert Barry, across the valley
from Park Hill and probably its ‘home farm’, tenanted
by 'Thomas Barry' Esq in 1843 who was the local agent for Lloyds
of London through which all the Barry ships were insured. The
outbuildings, around a fold-yard, are well-preserved and substantially
intact. The elegant facade forms part of the view from 'Park Hill',
now 'Fyling Hall School'. The fold-yard elevation is notably less
detailed and more functional.
Robert (1792) also set aside by gift
some of his land and together with the present rector 'Robert
Jermyn Cooper' (who was Vicar for 57 years)
financed the building of the new church ‘St Stephens’
at Hawsker-cum-Stainsacre on the Fylingdales, Robin Hood Bay,
Yorkshire. It was designed by 'George Edmund Street' of Woodford
perhaps best known for his design of the Royal Courts of Justice.
Robert (1792) also built the family home
named 'Park Hill' now 'Fyling Hall' a private school. In 1871.

John Warren Barrys Famous
Pigsty |
After Robert's (1792) death in 1871
his grandson by his late son John inherited a considerable amount
of his estate at the age of 19. He was later known as Squire John
Warren Barry who became a local eccentric. As well as his writings
(mentioned above) he was also famous for building the now historical
pigsty (owned now and let as a holiday home by The Landmark Trust)
in the style of a Roman Villa. Squire Barry also took over the
Patronage of North Tuddenham after his grandfather died. The title
of the north Tuddenham Rectory land and buildings were left to
his second son Rev Robert Barry as was property and lands at Hawsker-cum-Stainsacre
on the Fylingdales. His daughter Dorothy inherited her fathers
house, land and stables at Whiby including the use of properties
and lands for riding and her pleasure on the Fylingdales till
her death.
Rev Robert Barrys uncle ('William Barry' 1803,
brother to his father) was the rector of Blisworth Northamptonshire
as was his son (both pictured below) and grandson after him and
with the aid of the families wealth carried out many building
projects in their parish - This could have inspired Rev Robert
as North Tuddenham became virtually a mirror of Blisworth - Below
is Rev William Barry, his son Rev Henry Thomas Barry and a picture
of Blisworth Rectory in the early 1900s.

Rev William Barry was born
February 28th 1803 and baptised on March 7th 1803 at Whitby,
Yorkshire the youngest son of John Barry, Shipbuilder and
Owner and his wife Hannah late Wait.
The Rev William, MA was instituted into the living of Blisworth
in 1839. From records he disapproved of the old Rectory
or maybe being only newly-wed it was more likely his wife
Frances who objected to the old building for in 1842 he
built a fine new Rectory with stables and substantial Coach
House which was demolished about 1962 in order to widen
the High Street.
William attended Burghwallis School Yorkshire
(Mr Ewbank) - admitted pensioner to Trinity College Cambridge
on February 27th 1821 at the age of 19 (Tutor Proof Monk)
- BA in 1825 and MA in 1828 - Ordained Deacon 1827 - Priest
(York) 1828 - Rector of Longstowe Cambridge 1836-9 - Rector
of Blisworth Northants 1839-84 - Rural Dean 1853-74 - Rev
William died December 10th 1884 only a few months after
his wife.
During the Rev William's 45 years
as Rector of Blisworth he oversaw many alterations and made
many gifts to the church, for example three pieces of plate;
an 1845 silver paten, an 1845 silver cup and an 1846 silver
Alms dish - each bears the words “Presented to the
Church of Blisworth by the Rector A.D. 1846”. The
remaining and largest piece of Church Silver is a fine Flagon
made in 1870 which bears the text: “Christus est immollatus
nostram pascha”. The donor of this is not recorded.
There was also some pewter plate which was thought to have
been lost before the coming of the Rev William.
Rev William Barry married Frances Amelia
Finniss on January 7th 1841 at Calne, Wiltshire - Frances
was born July 9th 1809 in Bombay Maharashtra India although
she was baptised Dec 12th 1812 at Rochester, Kent. She was
the daughter of John Finniss, Army Captain & Chief of
Police (Mauritius) and his wife Susanna late Major - In
the 1881 census it mentioned Frances was blind - She died
March 13th 1884.
The Rev. William Barry, MA Trinity College,
Cambridge, was instituted into the old Tudaor rectory standing
alongside the church at Blisworth in 1839. He evidently
disapproved of the old Rectory for in 1842 he built a fine
new Rectory with stables and substantial Coach House which
have just been demolished (~1964) in order to widen the
High Street. During the Rev. Barry’s 45 years as Rector
he oversaw many alterations and made many gifts to the church,
for example three pieces of plate; an 1845 silver paten,
an 1845 silver cup and an 1846 silver Alms dish - each bears
the words “Presented to the Church of Blisworth by
the Rectore A.D. 1846”. The remaining and largest
piece of Church Silver is a fine Flagon made in 1870 which
bears the text: “Christus est immollatus nostram pascha”.
The donor of this is not recorded. There was also some pewter
plate which was thought to have been lost before the coming
of the Rev. Barry.
Rev William had plans drawn up to carry
out major restoration work to the church in May 1855 - soon
the great flat lead covered roof, together with the medieval
timbers, was removed from chancel and nave. The north aisle
and porch were similarly treated. Inside, the singing gallery
was removed and the tower arch was thrown open. The west-end
doorway was restored with the present window, the seats
were remodelled, and the dark paint was removed from the
stone pillars and arches. The total wall area was treated
with a coat of stucco - During those forty-five years, and
apart from brief holidays, he appears to have been on duty
for most occasions of Church and Village. He conducted approximately
1000 baptisms, 248 marriages and 460 burials. It became
necessary to acquire a new burial ground, and this half
acre of land, situated on the opposite side of the road
to the Church, was consecrated in I863.
More on Blisworth by George Freeston can be found HERE
The Rev. Barry resigned in April of 1884
but he did not live long after, for he died on December
10th of the same year and was buried in Blisworth church
yard, aged 81 years. There is also had a collection of pewter
plate up to the coming of the Rev. W. Barry, but in 1843
it is recorded that this plate “appears to be lost”.
It might interest readers to know the value of the silver
plate. |

Rev Henry Thomas
Barry M.A. resigned in 1904, after which he went on a two
year world cruise. As customary, a
presentation was made which comprised a silver tray suitably

REV. WILLIAM
HENRY (HARRY) BARRY - son of Rev Henry Thomas Barry's
(1839-1914)
William (Harry) married
Winifred Gertrude Bucknall on Dec 11th 1902 in St Jude,
Kensington. - Winifred was born Feb 10th 1880 in Epsom.
- The daughter of Henry Corfield Bucknall (1833-1903) and
Isabella Cole (1840-1892)
William and Winifred had two children:
[1] Beatrice Gertrude Barry born Mar quarter
of 1904 at Towcester – (3b 13)
[2] David Allen Barry born Dec quarter of 1906 at Towcester
(13b 11)
Rev William Henry Barry became the 49th
recorded Rector of Blisworth in 1904. He was born at Burrough
on the Hill in Leicestershire and christened William Henry,
but was destined to be called "Harry" from an
early age. Harry Barry's juvenile days were passed at Winchester
College. Later, when at Cambridge, his attention was turned
seriously to the Church. He took his BA in 1898, but his
ordination did not take place until three years later. His
MA followed in 1902 when he was made Priest by Bishop Mitchinson
in the absence of Bishop Glyn, who was suffering from the
effects of a serious riding accident. There is no doubt
at all that the Rev. Harry Barry was a keen horseman and
follower of the hounds, and I am prompted to think that
the "Quorn", as well as the Church, attracted
him to Melton Mowbrey, where for two years he spent a busy
time ministering to the needs of 8,000 parishioners. He
worked hard with all the enthusiasm of his fervent nature
which won him golden opinions. Regretfully, in 1903, he
left the bustling atmosphere of Melton Mowbrey and returned
to the tranquility of the family parish at Blisworth, complete
with its "pretty little Church and slumbrous serenity".
When in the course of a few months he had
familiarised himself with the people and parochial ways,
the Rector (his Father) who was also the Patron, handed
over the Living to his son "Harry". Soon, the
new Rector, together with his wife, took the family place
in the affections of the people. He followed in the traditions
of his family as a Conservative in the field of Politics.
It is still remembered that he never attempted to conceal
his views an questions of the day. The Rev. Harry Barry,
like his Father had been, soon became a notable hunting
parson. The "Grafton Field" we are told, consisted
of a large number of farmers, a few resident Squires, and
a "nice sprinkling of Parsons," for whom all seemingly
had the greatest regard, and of whom it was thought that
one of their greatest duties on earth was to countenance
and encourage good fellowship via the hunting field !! Of
our Rector it was reported that "he had a rider's cheery
disposition, and infectious geniality, fully enjoying a
smart run with the Grafton on a cold and frosty morning."
It was also reported that during much of the last century
it was not easy for the village people (and the Grafton
supporters) to imagine Blisworth Rectory without a Barry
in occupation in the dual capacity of Priest and Squire.
The sands of time, however, were running
out for the Barry family. In 1914 the Rev. Harry Barry resigned
from the Living at Blisworth and thus ended three quarters
of a century of successive Barry Rectors and Residents of
Blisworth Rectory, which had been built by the first Barry
in 1841.

issue comes from a privately published book of 1900 entitled
"Northamptonshire Leaders Social and Political"

Back to North Tuddenham:
When Rev Barry died in 1904 his executor was his nephew, Squire
Barry and it is he I believe who robbed us of all the paperwork,
files and pictures of the Barrys including two oil paintings of
John (1759) and his father Robert (1792) for he either destroyed
the lot or took everything back to Yorkshire before handing the
rectory over to the 'Rev Armstrong' of East Dereham, famous for
his ‘Norfolk Diaries’ which contain quite a few entries
of his time dining with Rev Barry at the Rectory after shooting
crows in the woods.

* 1834: Mar 1 - Yorkshire Gazette - Saturday
at Whitby - Death of Esther Robson - age 28, Esther, the wife
of Captain Robson, commander of the ship, "John Barry".
Her death is attributed to the following circumstances: - About
a month ago whilst feeding a cat which had been placed in a
basket for the purpose of being conveyed on board of her husbands
ship, she received a deep scratch on the finger, of which she
took little or no notice, until symptoms of inflammation began
to make their appearance, which medical assistance was resorted
to; but the inflammation increased so rapidly as to render every
effort of professional skill abortive; mortification had also
taken place and, after enduring great pain, death shortly afterwards
closed the suffering of this young female.
We have to wonder at what stage of his voyage
Esther's husband got to hear of this sad new as he had earlier
set sail on April 4th taking the 'John Barry' on its third voyage
this time to Hobart Australia transporting 320 male convicts.
She arrived on August 11th 1834, no convicts had died en route.
The John Barry docked in Sydney on Sunday 14th September 1834.
This is a record that Captain John Robson remarried on August
19th 1838 in New South Wales to Martha, eldest daughter of Mr
D Mills Esq, merchant of Liverpool.

WHO were the parents of ROBERT BARRY (1719)
- Shipbuilder of Whitby, Yorkshire?
The likely line seems to be John Barry
of Guisborough, Yorkshire
Robert Barry's memorial stone states he died 1793 at the
age of 75 this gives us a birth year of 1718/19 - We also
know there was an Oliver Barry who was witness to his
Will - another witness was Mark Noble - Oliver (1702 mentioned
below) married into the Noble family (Elizabeth Noble)
in 1728 - The males name Francis also seems quite familiar
in this family so putting all these facts together, John
Barry of Guisborough seems the main contender, more below.

Whitby Literary and Philosophical
Society
A collection was deposited as the Barry Bequest,
per Major H W Smailes, 1950s-1960s. Other items
from this bequest are currently in the North
Yorkshire County Record Office, Northallerton.
John, Francis and Robert Barry commenced shipbuilding
in Whitby in the 1780s. (From
this it appears Robert (1725) and his two sons
John (1759) and Francis (1762) were working
together) Their shipyard was on the west
side of the Esk, being the northern part of
the shipyard previously occupied by the Coates
and later by Thomas Hutchinson. Robert Barry
died in Jan 1793 and the business was continued
by his son John, who in turn was succeeded by
his own son Robert. The yard was sold to the
York and North Midland Railway Company in 1845
and the railway station and approaches to it
built on the site.
Contents:
This collection comprises accounts relating
to Barry's shipbuilding activities 1802-1807,
the bulk contains copy letters of John Barry
covering business subjects 1805-1808; letter
book of Robert Barry covering business matters
including details of ships built 1815-1829,
1815-1843; cash book relating to Barry's ship
owning activities 1818-1835; ledger containing
records of accounts with individuals and of
particular ships 1832-1839; freighting accounts
for Barry ships 1822-1831; pro-forma insurance
policies relating to voyages made by Barry ships
1818-1835; logbook of the Hyperion while on
government service 1812-1815; notes on shipbuilding
apparently kept by Robert Barry while studying
shipbuilding at Northfleet c1840.

By kind permission of Nicky Dunnington-Jefferson
we turn to some letter received by her family written
by the late Rev. Charles Albert Barry (1862-1930)
who in his research express his theory as to when the
Barrys first became Shipbuilders.
Jarvis Coates on about 1740
field TWO shipyards as one, nearest to Bagdale
Beck at Whitby, being succeeded by his son Benjamin
Coates soon after 1750. Robert Barry, in turn,
succeeded Benjamin Coates a to the ONE of the
two shipyards, namely that adjacent to Bagdale
Beck. As Robert Barry is described in the baptismal
registers of his children 1746 onward simply
as "Carpenter" until 1757, when this
is changed to "Ship-Builder" - while
the entry 1760 gives "Ship-Wright",
and after "Ship-Builder"appears regularly
- Robert Barry seems clearly to have succeeded
Benjamin Coates by 1762, if not by 1757 when
he had 'passed through the yard' and finished
his apprenticeship - To change place and avocation
from countryside and country life, so exactly
at the turn of the tide, called for exceptional
gifts of insight and of character.
Then we have a section taken
from A MARITIME HISTORY OF THE PORT OF WHITBY,
1700-1914 by Stephanie Karen Jones in 1982.
Jarvis Coates, established the first Whitby
shipyard, and its success influenced other local
craftsmen and merchants to do likewise. Coates'
name appears in a Whitby rate book of 1697,
but probably the first ship to be built by him
for which details survive was the William &
Jane, of 237 tons, a three masted vessel built
in 1717, which was still afloat when the shipping
of the port was registered in 1786. It is possible
that Coates built ships at Whitby before this
date, which may have been sold to another port
or lost at sea before compulsory registration
was introduced. Young, a prominent local historian,
writing in 1817, dates the establishment of
'regular shipyards' at Whitby from c.1730, made
possible by harbour improvements, and the activities
of Jarvis Coates in shipbuilding as from c.1740.
It is not possible to assess the output of Coates'
yard, as the name of the 8hipbuilder was included
in certificates of registry at Whitby only in
the case of new vessels registered after 1790.
Coates died in 1739, to be succeeded by his
second son, Benjamin Coates, who continued work
in the same shipyard until his death in 1756.
Coates' first son, also named Jarvis, whose
name first appears in a Whitby rate book of
1717, established a second shipyard at Whitby
'just before 17501. The location of these shipyards,
ascertained from contemporary descriptions became
bankrupt in 1759, but the establishment of these
two shipyards was vital to future shipbuilding
at the port, because they were later to be taken
over by three great Whitby shipbuilding families:
the Barricks, Fishburns and Barrys. The first
yard on the east bank of the Esk was established
jointly by William Barker, John Holt, John Reynolds
and John Watson - referring to themselves as
the Dock Company.

Dined with Barrys of Tuddenham. Conversation after dinner
dealt with the subject of belief in ghosts and none of the
company disbelieved in them. Some said that fear of them
in Norfolk is so common that the poor will not walk through
a churchyard alone at night and prefer having a child with
them if they enter the sacred edifice to clean it by day.
I was much interested as I had been reading about some remarkable
cases of supernatural appearances in a memoir of the Rev.
R.H. Barham, the author of the famous Ingoldsby Legends.

To a gentleman’s party at Tuddenham Rectory. A great

Met the Bishop of Norwich and the clergy of the Deanery
at Yaxham Rectory. Where his lordship has been making a
visit. The Bishop proposed “to hold counsel with his
brethren on the subject of advisability of admitting laymen
to our ruridecanal deliberations.” This is a very
modest way of putting it, but in the ‘council’
the Bishop, though stating both sides, always indicates
plainly enough, the way in which he wishes the decision
to go. Then the two Rural Deans, being of his own appointment,
invariably followed suit. The clergy then say nothing, either
through timidity or the desire not to thwart the evident
bias of the Bishop. The result is that the meetings are
useless as an expression of opinion. I had made up my mind
to be silent, but felt, constrained to differ from certain
of the speakers. Though I did so with much respect as possible,
I could see that the Bishop disliked it Du Port, of Mattishall
and Barry, of North Tuddenham, said a word on my side, but
on the whole the clergy were ‘mum’ and seemed
as cowed as schoolboys before their master.
Rev Robert's father was
involved in local politics
1865: - Jun 7th - Whitby
On Monday a meeting was held in St.Hilda's Hall for the
purpose of organizing an opposition to the re-election
of Mr.H.S.Thompson, the present member for that borough.
Mr. Samuel Flintoft moved, and Mr. William Wood seconded,
that Mr. George Hudson be invited to contest the seat.
Mr. Robert Barry moved, and
Mr.J.J.Rigg seconded, that the Hon. Arthur Duncombe be
requested to become a candidate at the next election.
For Mr.Hudson, 30 voted, and 11 for Mr.Duncombe. A requisition
is therefore in course of signature to Mr.Hudson, for
whom many of the people of Whitby prefer a high esteem.
On the other hand, it is hardly probable that the heads
of the Tory party will unanimously support that gentleman.
1869: Rev. Robert’s
father gave £2000 including gifting land for the New
St Stephen’s Church at Fylingdale, Robin Hood Bay.

1871: Sep 30th - Robert Barry (1792) died at Fylingdale
Yorkshire age 79.
What Robert's Will has shown us is that he owned the title
to North Tuddenham Rectory the farm building and land till
his death. This also confirmed that most of the projects
carried out by his son Rev Robert were financed by his father.
It also shows that robert (1792) must have had either a
skill in music or an interest in musical instruments.
Extracts from Robert's Will
I appoint as Executors to
my Will my son the Reverent Robert Barry of North
Tuddenham and my nephew Thomas Brodrick Gentleman
of Salisbury Wilts.
I bequeath my two oil paintings being respectful portraits
of my late father and of myself to my son Robert Barry.
- did these
pictures survive if so where are they????
And I bequeath the rest of my pictures and prints
to my daughter Dorothy Barry
I bequeath all my silver plated articles, books wines
and liquors to my son and daughter to be divided equally
between them.
I bequeath to my son my gold watch but not its chain
of seal this I bequeath to my daughter together with
my jewels, ornaments, personal wear apparel, furniture,
linen, glass china, musical instruments and other
articles of household use together with all my carriages
and horses, stable goods and all my household goods
and provisions including the sum of £100 free
of legacy.
On my late son John Barry who was the incumbent at
the time of Great Smeaton where I sold the Parsonage
of the church, rents, houses and lands annexed or
belonging to the rectory for £6,600 I now instruct
the same amount to be invested with the income and
dividends to his widow Lettita Anna Barry until her
death or she remarry. I she should die or remarry
the sum is to be divided equally between her three
children, Robert Mercer Barry, Louisa Dorothy Barry
and Emily Eupatoria Barry.
I devise that all my parsonage and rectory at North
Tuddenham, tithe, rents, all houses and lands and
all my lands and instruments situated in the township
of Hawsker-cum-Stainsacre purchased by me in 1832
from George Saunders to my son Robert Barry.
I devise my dewlling house outbuildings and gardens
situated in Bagdale Whitby and my pair and seat in
the parish church at Whitby and also in the chaple
of Baxtergate Whitby.
I also direct if my daughter does not marry together
with my two grandsons John Warren Barry and Robert

Dined at Barrys of North Tuddenham to meet the clergy of
the Deanery who have voluntarily associated themselves for
mutual improvement. The dinner was far too good, if not
out of keeping with the occasion, and which, I could not
help thinking at the time, no other clergy in Christendom
could have emulated. But our host is a rich man and has
no children.

The Rector Robert Barry has just put in a splendid East

Went to North Tuddenham to see some beautiful windows which
Robert Barry, the rector had recently put into the church.
He has spent upwards of £5000 on the rectory, church
and schools. He and I are the only two clergy in the diocese
of Norwich who were ordained by the Bishop Bloomfield in
St Paul’s Cathedral.
Footnote…... The glass in the tracery of most of these
windows is ancient. Mr Barry found it lying about in a stone-mason’s
yard at Dereham. It had been removed from another church
during a so-called restoration. It is extremely beautiful
and its preservation is a matter of thankfulness. (It was
removed from the windows for safety during the war of 1939-45).

The Medieval class in North Tuddenham Church was not,
apart from two or three shields of arms painted for
this building. It was bought by the Rev. Robert Barry
who was rector of North Tuddenham from 1851 –
1904 in East Dereham, where it was lying in a builder’s
yard. It was said that the sum of half a guinea was
paid for it. The greater part of it he placed in various
windows in the church. The rest he kept in the rectory.
His successor the Rev. B. J. Armstrong, used most
of what was left to fill the two windows in the porch.
After his death the remainder was presented to the
Rev W. Busby, rector of Welborne, who put it into
the eastern window of the porch of Welborne church.
- The glass was evidently discarded from some Norfolk
church, tradition recalls two places on is Lyng, which
is only a few miles from North Tuddenham, the other
is Billingford near North Elham. Billingford is the
more likely, since that is the place recalled by members
of Mr Armstrong’s family.
More information from the internet
Two consecutive Rectors left their indelible mark
on St Mary. They were Robert Barry and Benjamin Armstrong,
who between them shepherded the parish from 1851 to
1924. As we know, the vast majority of parish churches
were restored to their medieval configuration by the
Victorians after centuries as preaching houses, but
few churches retain quite so much evidence of this
as St Mary. - The story goes that Barry found the
medieval glass in a builder's yard in nearby Dereham
in the early 1880s. There are ideas about where it
came from; half a century later, surviving members
of the Armstrong family recalled Barry mentioning
Billingford, near North Elmham, or perhaps Elsing.
Neither is likely, and perhaps we will never know.
There are twelve panels, but only
the middle eight have figures. They are St Agnes,
St Gregory, St Dorothy and St Jeron on the north side,
and St Catherine, St Sebastian, St Etheldreda and
St Roche on the south side. St Agnes has a dagger
pointed at her neck and her lamb at her foot. St Dorothy
has flowers and fruit, while St Jeron has a falcon
on his arm. St Catherine holds her sword and wheel,
St Sebastian an arrow and St Roche points at the plague
sores on his leg as at Stalham.
There are more panels from a dado
built into the tower arch screen. Mortlock records
that these were bought by Barry from 'a lumber shop'.
They depict two of the four evangelists, Matthew and
Mark, and two of the four Latin doctors, Gregory and
Augustine. I wonder where the other four are?

More on the works carried out by the
Rev. Robert Barry taken from the church leaflet ……
The Chancel has two restored perpendicular
windows on each side. The east window has five lights
and two embattled transoms and affine pair of headstops;
This window is 15th century, but has been removed
and restored from another church by the Rev. Robert
Barry whose grave is marked by a high pointed stone
near the window.
The Screen under the tower arch has
4 panels with painted figers of St Matthew, St Mark,
St Augustine and St Gregory, reading from south to
north (left to right); These were rescued from a lumber
shop and are believed to be part of a larger screen
dated 1390.
The West Window. The Rev. Robert Barry
brought a great collection of early medieval glass
from a builders yard and the lower section of the
window is part of this collection of glass. Here you
see two; The Christian maiden keeping sheep is patron
saint of the wool industry, and the heathen nobleman,
Olybrius, who has rejected Christ, sends his squire
with a golden ring to invite her to marry him. She
refuses and is committed to prison and torture.
The Ceramic Tiles around the nave
are a bold improvement of the 1880’s to counter
damp.
The tiles were made by Minton Hollins
& Co, Patent Tiles Works, Stoke On Trent.
Minton, Hollins & Co. 1840-1868
(1840-1868 as a division of Minton & Co.) bought
by Johnsons in 1868 who still use the name. The
most famed and prolific manufacturer for most of
the Victorian era its tiles were used in The Palace
of Westminster (i.e. The Houses of Parliament),
US Capitol, Victoria & Albert Museum and many
other prestigious buildings.

Chancel Screen. The Rev. Robert Barry
who was Rector here from 1851-1904 made many alterations
to the church, such as the East Window, the tiles,
the tower arch screen and the stained glass. How he
was particularly interested in the details of the
screens can be seen by the dragons in the spandrels
above the front door of the Rectory which he built
in 1852. He also gave the village its school and some
cottages.

thought that it was uncalled for and a specimen of that

John Warren Barry wrote a book in 1893
called 'Studies in Corsica' (346 pages) it is now held
by the British Library, Historical Print Editions. Oridginally
published by Sampson Low, Marston & Company in 1893.
Advertised as - Consisting of frontispice,
1 folding map, 5 plates including 1 map. Olive green publisher's
cloth with gilt title. Has Corsica ever been described
in such beautiful English and by such an English Squire?
The author initially spent five months travelling around
the island with the object of studying the ligneous vegetation
of the seaboard region, and so delighted was he by what
he saw that from September 1882 to February 1885 he discovered
the area in a more leisurely manner. His comments, from
personal experience, are more concerned with social matters
and living conditions than the usual travel book. John
Warren Barry (1851) was a land owner and Justice of the
Peace at Park Hill Hall, Yorkshire. His first visit to
Corsica was with two ladies in 1880.
Studies in Corsica. By John Warren
Barry, M.A. (London : Sampson Low, Marston, and Co., 1893.)
Mr. Barry has twice visited Corsica, the first visit being
of less than five months' duration, while the second extended
from September 1882 to February 1885. He has thus had
ample opportunities for the study both of the island and
of its people, and in the present volume he sums up his
impressions very brightly and pleasantly. Most readers
will probably like best the chapters on life at Ajaccio,
but they will also find much to interest them in what
the author has to say about the Bush of Corsica and of
the Mediterranean region.
John Warren Barry together with his two sisters, as children,
were photographed by Lewis Carroll - Charles
Lutwidge Dodgson (27 January 1832 – 14 January 1898),
better known by his pen name, Lewis Carroll, was an English
writer, mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon, and
photographer. His most famous writings are 'Alice's Adventures
in Wonderland', its sequel 'Through the Looking-Glass'.

bequeathed a sum to the minister and churchwardens to be
invested in the Government funds, and the income to be applied
in the same manner as her annual subscription—namely,
two-fifths to the schools, one-fifth to widows, one-fifth
to the clothing club and one-fifth to the Society for the
Propagation of the Gospel. The legacy was invested in £90
3s. 10d. consols with the official trustees, of which £36
1s. 6d. consols has been set aside as the Barry Educational
Foundation. Educational Charities.—It appears from
a board in the parish church that in 1825 Watson Farside
gave £50, in 1829 John Watson gave £25, and
that in 1830 the sum of £180 4s. was received in respect
of a legacy of £300 by will of Thomas Strother, there
being an insufficiency of assets. These amounts were invested
in £280 7s. 8d. consols, now held by the official
trustees, and the dividends, amounting to £7 a year,
are, together with 18s. a year received from Miss Barrys
charity, paid to the church schools.

From: North Tuddenham Rectory. East Dereham
Revd and Dear Sir, I am requested to inform you that the
funeral of my uncle the Rev. Robert Barry will take place
in the church on Friday a 3pm, proceeded at 11am by a celebration
of Holy communion. I may also take this opportunity of informing
you although it seems somewhat early that my uncle named
yourself as the clergyman to whom he wished the first refusal
of the nomination to this incumbency to be-made after his
death but as line successor in the procession *****. I thought
that in case you came over to the funeral more time might
be saved in settling this important and responsible matter.
Believe me *****. JW Barry.

The Death is announced of the Rev. Robert Barry, Rector
of North Tuddenham. The Rev Gentleman, who was 83 years
of age passed away on Monday. He was ordained in 1847, and
was appointed curate of St Pancras, a post which he held
for three years. In 1850 he was appointed Rector of Hinderwell,
Yorkshire, but in the following year was presented to the

Sympathetic references ware made on
Sunday not only in North Tuddenham Church but in the neighbouring
pulpits, to the loss sustained in the neighbourhood by the
death of the Rev Robert Barry, who had been incumbent for
the long space of 53 years, and had restored the church,
built the school and presented it to the church by special
deed.
He also built the present Rectory
in the year 1852. Few of the younger generation who have
only known him in later years are aware that he did all
this at his own cost.
The funeral arrangements were carried out by Mr H H Aldiss,
of Dereham.
1904: Aug 29th (another
letter from John Warren Barry to Rev. Benjamin Armstrong).
From: Fyling Hall, Robin Hood Bay
Dear Mr Armstrong, I am much obliged
for your two letters. This a great satisfaction to me and
I am sure would have been to my uncle. Kind ****** accepted
the presentation to North Tuddenham I feel these things
will be continued as nearly as possible upon the lines which
he desired. The speediness also with which you have kindly
decided will also obviate many difficulties. There being
no church warden at the present moment or rather the only
church warden (the Rector’s) being in a Lunatic Asylum.
I had thought when I return to Tuddenham of calling a vestry
meeting to elect one for the parish ; but perhaps this might
be delayed now until you are intentioned when you would
do it yourself. I will do just as you like in the matter.
The Rural Dean Cannon Cowper Johnson is at present arranging
for the services. You will doubtless settle this with him.
The offertories since my uncle’s death have been kept
by me and accounted for, this will be continued until your
wishes are known. Those up to his death I believe *****
distribute or dispose of ………. (The rest
of the letter is missing).
Note: There are some words we cannot read - hopefully they
will be filled in later.

whom the testator left his freehold, copyhold, and leasehold
estates in the county of Norfolk and elsewhere, and the
family portraits and some other pictures; and he
left to his said nephew the advowson (the right to recommend
a member of the Anglican clergy for a vacant benefice, or
to make such an appointment) of North Tuddenham, with directions

residuary estate. He bequeathed to his nephew Robert Mercer

Louisa Dorothy Dunnington-Jefferson and Emily Eupatoria
Barry. The testator left the residue of his property in

one-sixths each to his said two nieces.
This appears to be the path of the
Barry family portraits took - were they cared for and where
they then handed down through Cecil's family or did they
find their way to a London Salesroom?

Thomas Brodrick a Solicitor and his wife Mary Snaith
Haviside, who were married in 1857 at West Ham London.
