Sir Gabriel Goldney, Bart. Died May 8th, 1900, aged 87. 



Buried at Corsham. Born July 25th, 1813. Eldest son of Harry 

 Goldney and Elizabeth Beade, 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. 

 [The Goldneys have been Mayors or Bailiffs of Chippenham in each 

 successive generation since the first John Goldney, son of Henry Goldney, 

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

 M.P. for the Borough in 1865, an election signalised by the historical 

 " 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 

 Wilts. He was a J. P. and D.L. for Wilts, and served the office of High
