Section I Tumuli 1843. The 30th of June 1843 was occupied in examining the middle part of a large barrow on Brassington Moor, usually called Galley Lowe [Map], but formerly written Callidge Lowe, which is probably more correct. About two feet from the surface were found a few human bones mixed with rats' bones and horses' teeth; amongst these bones (which had been disturbed by a labourer digging in search of treasure) the following highly interesting and valuable articles were discovered: several pieces of iron, some in the form of rivets, others quite shapeless, having been broken on the occasion above referred to, two arrow-heads of the same metal, a piece of coarse sandstone, which was rubbed into the form of a whetstone; an ivory pin or bodkin, of very neat execution; the fragments of a large urn of well-baked earthenware, which was glazed in the interior for about an inch above the bottom; two beads, one of green glass, the other of white enamel, with a coil of blue running through it, and fourteen beautiful pendant ornaments of pure, gold, eleven of which are encircled by settings of large and brilliantly coloured garnets, two are of gold without setting, and the remaining one is of gold wire twisted in a spiral manner, from the centre towards each extremity (a gold loop of identical pattern is affixed to a barbaric copy of a gold coin of Honorius in the writer's possession); they have evidently been intended to form one ornament only, most probably a necklace, for which use their form peculiarly adapts them. It will here not be out of place to borrow some quotations relative to a remarkable superstition connected with glass beads similar to those discovered in Galley Lowe, particularly the one having "two circular lines of opaque sky-blue and white," which seem to represent a serpent entwined round a centre, which is perforated. "This was certainly one of the Glain Neidyr of the Britons, derived from glain, which is pure and holy, and neidyr, a snake. Under the word glain, Mr. Owen, in his Welsh Dictionary, has given the following article: "The Nair Glain, transparent stones, or adder stones, were worn by the different orders of the Bards, each exhibiting its appropriate colour. There is no certainty that they were worn from superstition originally; perhaps that was the circumstance which gave rise to it. Whatever might have been the cause, the notion of their rare virtues was universal in all places where the Bardic religion was taught."

These beads are thus noticed by Bishop Gibson, in his improved edition of Camden's Britannia: "In most parts of Wales, and throughout all Scotland, and in Cornwall, we find it a common opinion of the vulgar, that about Midsummer-eve (though in the time they do not all agree) it is usual for snakes to meet in companies, and that by joining heads together and hissing, a kind of bubble is formed, like a ring, about the head of one of them, which the rest, by continual hissing, blow on, until it comes off at the tail, when it immediately hardens, and resembles a glass ring, which whoever finds shall prosper in all his undertakings: the rings they supposed to be thus generated are called gleinen nadroeth, namely, gemma anguinum. They are small glass annulets, commonly about half as wide as our finger-rings, but much thicker, of a green colour usually, though some of them are blue, and others curiously waved with blue, red, and white.'' There seems to be some connexion between the glain neidyr of the Britons and the ovum anguinnm, mentioned by Pliny as being held in veneration by the Druids of Gaul and to the formation of which he gives nearly the same origin. They were probably worn as a mark of distinction, and suspended round the neck as the perforations are not large enough to admit the finger. A large portion of this barrow still remaining untouched on the south-east side, which was but little elevated above the natural soil, yet extending farther from the centre, it offered a larger area, in which interments were more likely to be found than any other part of the tumulus, it was decided on resuming the search on the 3d of July, 1843, by digging from the outside until the former excavation in the centre was reached. In carrying out this design the following interments were discovered, all of which seem to pertain to a much more remote era than the interment whose discovery has been before recorded. First, the skeleton of a child, in a state of great decay; a little farther on a lengthy skeleton, the femur of which measures nineteen and a half inches, with a rudely ornamented urn of coarse clay deposited near the head; a small article of ivory, perforated with six holes, as though for the purpose of being sewn into some article of dress or ornament (a larger one of the same kind was found in a barrow at Gristhorpe, near Scarborough, in 1832); a small arrow-head of gray flint, a piece of iron-stone, and a piece of stag's horn, artificially pointed at the thicker end, were found in the immediate neighbourhood of the urn. Between this skeleton and the centre of the barrow four more skeletons were exhumed, two of which were of young persons; there was no mode of arrangement perceptible in the positions of the bodies, excepting that the heads seemed to lie nearest to the urn before mentioned. Amongst the bones of these four skeletons a small rude incense cup was found, which is of rather unusual form, being perforated with two holes on each side, opposite each other.

News Report Adelaide 'Advertiser' of 10 August 1914:

The tragic deaths of the young baronet, Sir Denis Anson (age 25) and Mr. William Mitchell, who were drowned in the Thames in the early hours of last Friday morning [3 July], were, it seems, brought about by sheer folly born of natural high spirits, stimulated by champagne. Sir Denis, who was only 26 [25] years of age, was the son of the late Mr. Frederick Arthur Anson, of Piraki, New Zealand, and spent the early part of his boyhood in New Zealand. He came to England to be educated at Eton, and later went to Oxford University. He studied law, and a short time ago was called to the bar, and began practice in chambers in Mitre Court, Temple, in the same building where his uncle, the late Sir William Anson (deceased), to whose baronetcy Sir Denis only succeeded about a month ago, had chambers. Sir Denis was the only son of his parents, and the youngest of a family of five. At the time of the tragedy he was living in Half Union-street with his mother and sister.The tragedy had its origin in one of the now fashionable "midnight picnics" up the river. Sir Denis Anson was one of a party of 12 or 14 ladies and gentlemen who boarded a steam launch at Westminster Pier shortly after midnight on Thursday. The party included Count Constantine Beckendorff, a son of the Russian Ambassador, Miss Iris Tree, daughter of the famous actor [Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree], the Hon. Kasper Ridley (brother of Viscount Ridley), Mr. Raymond Asquith (son of the Prime Minister) and Lady Diana Manners, daughter of the Duke of Rutland, and there were also a number of musicians on board to discourse sweet music during the trip. The party, it appears, took supper whilst the launch was making its way up the river to Hampton Court, and nothing untoward happened until the homeward journey was nearing completion. It seems to have been a very merry party, and Sir Denis appears to have endeavoured to add to the merriment by what schoolboys term "playing the goat" - climbing about the superstructure of the launch and the like. Presently, when the launch was nearing Battersea Bridge Sir Denis announced his intention of diving overboard, and climbed on to the bridge to do so. Captain White, who was in charge of the launch, appears to have prevented him carrying out his intention, and to have cautioned Sir Denis as to his conduct. What actually happened thereafter has produced half a dozen stories, differing materially in detail, but the main facts are clear. Sir Denis was chaffed by some of his companionsabout his threat to dive overboard, and to prove his courage took a header into the river. The ebb tide was running very fast at the time, and the River Thames at this point is full of swirls and eddies, against which a strong swimmer in nature's garb would find it almost useless to struggle. For a man hampered by clothing - even light evening dress, minus coat - it was courting disaster to do what Sir Denis did, even if his swimming abilities were above the ordinary. The unfortunate young fellow seems to have realised the fact that he had over-estimated his powers very quickly, for he called out something which those on the launch who heard his cries took to be an indication that the baronet was in difficulties. Bandsman Mitchell was the first to act. Without waiting to remove his clothing he plunged overboard to the rescue. It was gallant madness, for, clothed was he was, Mitchell could make no sort of fight against the fast running tide, and was carried away. A few seconds after Mitchell's plunge there was another splash, and Count Beckendorff had followed Mitchell's lead. But neither Mitchell nor the Count had gone far before a strangled cry arose from Sir Denis, and a moment later the waters had closed over his head. That was the last seen of the young baronet. Meanwhile the launch had been stopped and put about, and a waterman, who had heard Sir Denis' cry of distress, came upon the scene in a rowing boat. By that tine, however, poor Mitchell had also disappeared, and Count Beckendorff was indire distress, when the waterman came to his rescue and pulled him into the boat. The Count was in an exhausted condition, and but for the timely arrival of the waterman there would have been a triple tragedy. As it was, two men lost their lives. The launch and the rowing-boat cruised about the place where Sir Denis and Mitchell had disappeared for a long time, but of the two poor fellows not a trace could be found. Mitchell's body was washed up by the tide near Battersea Bridge on Saturday morning, but several days elapsed before the mortal remains of Sir Denis Anson were discovered lying beneath a raft of timbers near Lambeth Bridge, some three miles away from the scene of the tragedy. At the inquest a large amount of attention was paid to the question of Sir Denis' sobriety. It was admitted that the young baronet had partaken of wine, but it was strenuously denied by every witness that he was inebriated in any sense of the word. "He was merry and full of life," said the captain of the launch, but was certainly not intoxicated, in the opinion of the skipper. And that was the burden of all the witnesses' testimony. Sir Denis was, as always, full of life and fun, and was the life and soul of the party, but he had not had too much drink. So the jury found a verdict of accidental death, and added thereto the rider tha they found that Sir Denis was "quite sober, but full of fun."
