On the eve of WWI the well-known explorer and writer Sir Clements
Markham decided to pay tribute to his father, the Reverend David
Markham, by putting pen to paper. In tracing his father's life
story he provided a detailed account of his life and work at
Stillingfleet, Great Horkesley, and Windsor, and his interactions
with an extensive list of friends and family. As a well-connected,
highly-educated and wealthy individual, David Markham was able to
indulge his passion for travelling, collecting, and painting. The
family home was filled with cabinets of coins, fossils, shells and
other curiosities, as well as many fine works of art. His keen
interest in heraldry and family history meant a great deal of time
being devoted to tracing the rich history of the family. Clements
Markham's story of his father's life provides the reader with a
rich depiction of a true Victorian antiquarian: someone with a
lifelong passion for learning and interest in a broad spectrum of
fields. In doing so he has provided the reader with a rich source
of Victorian local, family and social history.
