Speedy deletion nomination of Sir Hugh Cubitt
A tag has been placed on Sir Hugh Cubitt requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. —Largo Plazo (talk) 04:14, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Understood, I'd meant to write it out first and then submit but it doesn't matter. --PorgeHR (talk) 21:35, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

The Hendre
Great to see that someone else even knows the mansion, let alone likes it enough to write about it here. I shall try to add some more myself.

We're editing it virtually simultaneously! I'm conscious the article is important to you and I hope you're ok with the edits. It's really not easy as, despite an internet trawl, I can't find much outside of the Buildings of Wales. Have you got this? The house doesn't seem to have been seriously studied at all, a great opportunity for someone with direct knowledge, and archives? KJP1 (talk) 20:24, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

They look great. The woodcut I know but the first landscape (oils?) is new to me. The fountain in the lower right was still there, in a pretty dilapidated state, when I last went about five years ago.

Best regards KJP1 (talk) 08:23, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Your grandmother must have stayed there when I first knew the house, in the late seventies/early eighties. I used to cycle round it as a schoolboy from Monmouth but you couldn't get in then. When it became the golf club, I went a number of times, including an unauthorised internal visit before I was thrown out. I recall the forecourt, with the grandly carved mottos, a very large hall, the orangery (conservatory?), which the club used for lunches/dinners, a very masonic study (?), which reminded me of the oratory at Cardiff Castle, much stained glass and, best of all, the Cedar Library, with a, not very good, portrait of the Queen, and the marvellous secret room above the fireplace from which you could look down into the library. Since then, I regularly visit when I'm down in Wales. It's a fascinating house, not in my view a beautiful one, but fabulous if you love Victorian gothic, my passion, and a superb exemplar of a Victorian landed estate.

Why don't you do something substantial on the house? I made contact with another Wikipedian who'd done an unpublished thesis on T H Wyatt and I'm sure that there's a really great article to be made here. But the secondary resources, from books and the net, are very slim and it really needs people with knowledge of, and access to, primary sources. And there aren't many of those!

The Hendre
Hi, sorry been away and not done much Wikiing for a bit. But I have found a rather marvellous photo, I would guess the 1900's, of Charles Rolls landing a balloon on the lawn. Perhaps taken at the time of the 1909 trip Flight Magazine described. Now I just have to work out how to load it. How's your searching going at your grandmother's? KJP1 (talk) 18:33, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Very well indeed, I see. The two photos look fantastic. Best regards KJP1 (talk) 07:59, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi Again

Page continues to get better and better. Try pasting the below into google, it should get you a playbill for "The Hendre Theatre". I found it whilst googling "The Hendre" but don't really know what to make of it. It's obviously satirical, as the reference at the bottom to shooting people without a ticket makes clear, and the constant references to The Rolls family, and to T H Wyatt as the Stage Manager, are intriguing but its very odd. An early Chartist propaganda sheet? I'm not sure anyone will be able to make sense of it now.

Hi, you still wiki'ing? Went to the church yesterday and took some great photos. Lucky enough to meet the vicar (?) who let me in. He said they've got a family wedding coming up. Yours? All the best. KJP1 (talk) 12:33, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Source information needed for File:Llangattock Crest.jpg
Hello, !

It was really helpful of you to upload File:Llangattock Crest.jpg. However, in order to keep and use new images, we need to know their original source.

If you can edit the description page and add this information, that would be great. If you're not sure how or need help, please ask at the media copyright questions page and we'll be happy to assist you.

Thanks again! --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 19:07, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

The Hendre
Article's getting a lot of interest on the back of MonmouthpediA. What do you think about the suggestion on the talk page that the history of the family should be moved to a Rolls article and "The Hendre" focus on the building and estate?

Went down last weekend and took a load of photos, including one I've used. A magical place. Best regards. KJP1 (talk) 21:16, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

Really good to see you're back. Yes, the Hendre, and the Rolls family, have received a lot of wikipedia attention, partly, of course, because of Monmouthpedia. I think the suggestion that the history of the family takes it's own page - perhaps, Lords Llangattock? - with subsidiary articles for the notable members of the family; whilst The Hendre focuses on the house and grounds; is a good one. Now it just needs someone to do it. I think a contributer with a close and detailed knowledge of the family would be best!!!!!!!!!!! Regards. KJP1 (talk) 17:23, 4 April 2012 (UTC)


 * There's a discussion going on here that may interest you.  I think you'll see an over-arching article on the family appearing shortly, to which you may wish to contribute!  Best regards. KJP1 (talk) 06:34, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
