Henrietta Fraser Mrs Ralph Banks |Noble Jewel History | Palmette Tiara Stomacher Diamonds

Henrietta Jenny Fraser Mrs Walter Ralph Banks 1871-1953

Above in the picture she is wearing a diamond tiara with palmette ornaments, a fine anthemium diadem, a pearl choker, pearl string necklace and a diamond spray ornament. They are probably her wedding gifts and marriage jewels.

On the right side the diamond scrollwork brooch centred with a yellow diamond was given by Sir Joseph Banks to his wife Dorothea at the time of their marriage in 1779, and was a valued heirloom jewel, for all following family members.

The Banks Diamond: A historic jewel passed down through the Knatchbull Baronets which commemorates Sir Joseph Banks A scientist, explorer and botanist, Sir Joseph Banks joined Captain James Cook on his voyage to the Pacific as part of the Royal Society's expedition, collecting thousands of plant specimens previously unknown in Europe. This late 18th century brooch incorporates a cushion-shaped yellow diamond given to Joseph Banks by his sister Sarah around the time of his marriage in 1779, the reverse of the stone featuring a glazed locket with woven hair and their initials JSB. Originally gifted to Sir Joseph Banks' wife Dorothea, it passed to her sister Mary, Lady Knatchbull and thence by descent, until finally to Lord Brabourne and its last wearer, Patricia Countess Mountbatten of Burma.



Although clearly an eligible bachelor, Walter Banks finally met his wife-to-be, Miss Henrietta Fraser, on Monday 14 June 1897. He proposed to her on the following Saturday, 19 June and they were married the following month. He was 44 and she was 29.


The marriage of Miss Fraser, daughter of the late Mr. William Fraser, to Mr. Ralph Banks, of Corte Castle and Kingston Lacy, Dorset, was solemnised at Holy Trinity Church, Sloanestreet in July 1897.
The ceremony was performed by Canon Eldon Bankes, of Corfe Castle Rectory, assisted by the Rev. H. E. Bevan, rector of Holy Trinity.

The bride, who was given away by her brother, Mr. John Fraser, wore a dress of white satin veiled in white mousseline de soie and lace, with long Court train falling from the shoulders, tulle veil, and wreath of natural orange blossom.
She was attended by eight bridesmaids: Miss Jessy Fraser, sister of the bride; Miss Eva Fraser, cousin; the Misses Gladys, Georgina and Cicely Bankes, and Miss Beatrice Scott, cousins of the bridegroom; Miss Seymour and Miss Iris Kingscote. They were attired in costumes of white tulle over white satin, trimmed with guipure lace and sashes of turquoise blue silk; white chiffon hats, with plumes of white ostrich feathers and blue ribbons. The bridegroom's presents to them were bouquets of pink roses aud diamond enamel heart-shaped brooches.



Mr. Henry Weld-Blundell supported the bridegroom as best man. At the conclusion of the ceremony the bridal party drove to the town house of the bride's brother — Mr. John Fraser— in Wilton-crescent, where the wedding reception was held, and later in the afternoon the newly-married couple left town for Folkestone, en route for the Continent.

The wedding presents numbered upwards of 400, and included many costly gifts of jewellery and plate. Mr. Bankes’ Dorset and Wiltshire tenantry sent a handsome piece of plate, accompanied by an illuminated address bound in morocco, containing the names of some 600 subscribers. The inhabitants of Wimborne contributed a piece of plate and an address, which will be presented, together with the tenants' gift, on the home-coming of the bride and bridegroom on the 21st of August, when a garden party will be beld for the occasion at Kingston Lacy.

The reception held at the town house Mr John Fraser in Wilton Crescent was attended a large number the aristocracy. Subsequently the newlv married couple left town for Folkestone, en route for the Continent. The bride’s travelling dress was of fawn coloured poplin, and tulle hat trimmed with forget-me-not.


After a glamorous wedding at Holy Trinity Church, Sloane Street, London, Walter took his bride to the continent for their honeymoon, before bringing her home to Kingston Lacy. Two triumphal arches were erected over their route from Wimborne Minster station to the mansion and a huge crowd of people assembled to welcome them. At the first of the arches, at Hillbutts, the horses were removed from the carriage, which was then pulled for a distance of about a mile to the Kingston Lacy mansion by a team of enthusiastic men.

The Bankes family have lived in Dorset since the 17th century and owned land in east Dorset and Purbeck, including Studland. During this time the Bankes were often considered one of the most powerful families in England, owning both the estates of Corfe Castle and Kingston Lacy. In 1981, when Ralph Bankes died, he left the 16,000 acre estate to the National Trust.

 


Sir Joseph Banks married Dorothea Hugessen (1758-1828) in 1779, and Sarah Sophia was inseparable from the couple, living with them in their house at 32 Soho Square, London for many years.

An extract from Sarah's will conveys this close relationship- "I bequeath to my sister Lady Banks.all my royal presents all my trinkets diamonds seals etc.no two people ever contributed more to the happiness of others than they both have to mine, they are everything to me", and it is assumed that the lock of hair and initials JSB represent the entwined initials of Joseph and Sarah. The scrolled surround is a later addition made to incorporate the yellow diamond.
