Sir Gabriel Goldney, Bart. Died May 8th, 1900, aged 87. 
Buried at Corsham. Born July 25th, 18138. Eldest son of Harry 
Goldney and Elizabeth Reade, d. of M. Burrough, Esq., of Salisbury: 
He served his articles in the office of Mr. John Bayley, at Devizes, and 
began practice as a solicitor in Chippenham in 1837. In conjunction 
with Mr. T. A. Fellowes he founded the firm of ‘‘ Goldney & Fellowes,” 
afterwards ‘‘ Goldney, Keary, & Stokes.” His ability as a lawyer quickly 
built up a large and lucrative business. He purchased ‘ Beechfield,” 
near Corsham, where during the later years of his life he resided, and 
the manor of Bradenstoke and Clack, thus becoming possessed of one | 
of the most interesting monastic remains in the county. In the village 
of Clack he soon after built the existing Church—there was no Church 
there before—at his sole cost. He was Mayor of Chippenham in 1853.

M.P., for Bristol, settled there about 1460], and was elected Conservative

“Chippenham Riots” when the houses of his supporters fared so badly 
that a detachment of Coldstream Guards had to be imported lest worse — 
things still should befall. He continued to represent Chippenham until, — 
in 1885, the borough ceased to return its own Member to Parliament, 
when he retired. He was created a baronet in 1880 under Lord 
Beaconsfield’s Government. During his Parliamentary career he did 
much work on many committees of the House, and up to within a { 
short time of his death he continued to take an active part, as — 
chairman or director, in the management of many important 
railway, assurance, and other commercial companies. He was an ardent 
Freemason, and for many years Deputy Provincial Grand Master of
