SIR WINSTON SPENCER CHURCHILL (1874-1965), Typed Letter Signed to Robert Burns Esq., Harrow hat maker, of 52 High Street, Harrow-on-the-Hill, 1p, 8vo, 10 Downing Street, Whitehall headed paper, dated December 23rd, 1953, content re thanking Mr Burns for sending him a miniature Harrow School straw hat "Dear Mr. Burns, I was very pleased to receive your letter and the gift from your wife of a miniature Harrow Straw. Please accept my warm thanks for your kind thought of me at this time. [signed] yours sincerely, Winston S. Churchill", framed and glazed, theo whole approx. size 21 x 14cm, together with a contemporary example of a miniature Harrow School straw hat produced by Robert Burns hat makers, diameter approx. 14cm, and a c.1980's colour post card of Harrow-on-the-Hill high street, with a manuscript note "WAS Robert Burn's (school hat shop)." and arrow pointing to the premises (being No. 52). Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill (30 November 1874 – 24 January 1965) was one of the most influential figures of the 20th century. His indomitable spirit, eloquent speeches, and unwavering leadership during times of crisis earned him a place among the greatest statesmen in history. In April 1888, aged 13, Winston Churchill narrowly passed the entrance exam for Harrow School. His academics proved high but his teachers complained about his lack of discipline. However, Churchill’s ability to memorise lines, which he later used when he first made public speeches, was already apparent. While at Harrow, he entered a competition and won a School prize for reciting from memory 1,200 lines from Thomas Babington Macaulay’s long poem, Lays of Ancient Rome – a quite remarkable achievement. Churchill’s future interest in soldiering was already evident at Harrow. He joined the Harrow Rifle Corps within weeks of entering the School and, following encouragement from his father, was enrolled in the academic programme to prepare students for Sandhurst (the Royal Military College, now called the Royal Military Academy). In a letter from 1889, Churchill writes to ‘Mamma’, telling her that he has joined the ‘Army class’ and that he is learning French and geometrical drawing and studying for the Shakespeare prize. But his mother was very disappointed in her son, feeling he could achieve much more. In 1890, she wrote: ‘I had built up such hopes about you and felt so proud of you – and now all is gone … your work is an insult to your intelligence. If you would only trace out a plan of action for yourself and carry it out and be determined to do so – I am sure you could accomplish anything you wished.’ Churchill was to return to Harrow many times during his life, most memorably in 1941 during the Second World War, when he gave his famous speech to the boys, ‘Never Give In’. The Harrow School Old Speech Room Gallery has an example of a Harrow school straw hat signed by Sir Winston Spencer Churchill on display. E.A. Laborde’s book, ‘Harrow School: Yesterday & Today’ gives us a short introduction on the appearance of the Harrow School straw hat. Its first appearance was on the cricket fields of Harrow. Charles Wordsworth (OH, 1820-1825) recalls his straw hat being broken by a ball after fielding near a batsman. In the 1830s, it became a popular item of dress in the summer term, but it was not until later that they were permitted to be used instead of the top hats, except on Sundays. The famous two-inch low crown dates from the 1860s but the brim length was narrow up to 1873. Between 1873-1877, the brim widened gradually until its present breadth of three inches. Notable makers of Harrow hats include E. Chatham, and her grandson E.A. Burns. It is suspected that E. Chatham, who had established a hatter’s shop on the Hill in 1830, was the ‘inventor’ of the shallow crown boater hat. Robert Burns was presumably the son of E.A. Burns and continued the family business, and was active making hats at 52 Harrow high street in the early to mid C20th. Provenance: by descent. Robert Burns was the Great Uncle (Grandfather's brother) of the vendor

The Land Steward is the public face of the Duchy and is responsible for all aspects of Duchy property and land management.John Hitchings LVO (1929-2020) first became a Land Steward for the Duchy of Cornwall in 1959. At that time King Charles, the then Prince of Wales, was still a minor and John initially worked for Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip who temporarily represented the Duchy.Initially John was based in the Bath office of the Duchy, but in 1978 he moved to Bradninch in Devon, where he established a Central District office which managed over 75, 000 acres, including large areas of Dartmoor and the South West Foreshore.During his time at the Duchy, he and his wife Christina attended the Royal Wedding of Charles and Diana and he managed many Royal visits over the years. King Charles was described as being very ‘hands-on’ and involved in the running of the Duchy and John had regular contact over the years. John was awarded ‘Member of The Victorian Order’ (MVO) & then ‘Lieutenant of The Victorian Order’ (LVO).He went on to give decades of trusted, loyal service and was a valued and respected employee of King Charles whilst he was The Prince of Wales, which is reflected in these many years of cards, gifts and letters that he received from his Royal Highness. A very special collection.

It was designed to penetrate a well defended forward battle area at low altitudes and at very high speeds and then attack high value targets in the rear with nuclear or conventional weapons. The TSR2 was cancelled due to rising costs and inter-service squabbling over Britain's future defence needs which led to the controversial decision to scrap the programme in 1965.
