==Early life and family== |
|||
Calthorpe was born in Ampton, Suffolk on 28 December 1648 to James Calthorpe and Dorothy Reynolds.<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=fZSNUcPL8AYC&pg=PA109&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false |title=The Gentleman's Magazine |date=1832 |publisher=F. Jefferies |language=en}}</ref> |
|||
==Writings== |
|||
Calthorpe authored a volume containing a variety of texts, including a prose romance about her family, three poems, and two prose narratives with spiritual and political themes: "A Castell in the Aire or the Pallace of the Man in the Moon" and "A Discription of the Garden of Edden." Notations within the volume indicate that it was begun in 1672-73 and completed in 1684, which locates its composition within the immediate context of the [[Exclusion Crisis]] with evidence from the manuscript pointing to suggest that Calthorpe herself had royalist leanings.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Dowd |first=Michelle M. |date=2013 |title=Reimagining Paradise: The Politics of Form in Dorothy Calthorpe's Garden of Eden |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/23617850 |journal=Early Modern Women |volume=8 |pages=181–205 |issn=1933-0065}}</ref> |
|||
The autograph manuscript volume was discovered by scholars when it was sold at a Sotheby's auction in 2006 as part of a sale of property from an estate at [[Shrubland Park]], [[Coddenham]]. The manuscript was purchased by the [[Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library]] at [[Yale University]], where it now resides.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Writings, [1672-1684]. - Yale University Library |url=https://collections.library.yale.edu/catalog/16725254 |access-date=2022-10-17 |website=collections.library.yale.edu |language=en}}</ref> |

Single storey. Colour-washed brick, with chamfered and rusticated red brick quoins and dressings, and a slightly projecting central bay with triangular pediment and brick dentil cornice. Black glazed pantiles and 2 internal chimney-stacks each with 2 round shafts of ornate moulded brick. 4 late C19 canted bay windows in earlier openings, with C20 small-paned casements. Central entrance door with 8 raised fielded panels, and subordinate doors in recessed porches. The range appears to have been considerably restored in the mid C19, when the present roof, the chimney-stacks and dentil cornice were added to the older structure. The Latin inscription, now very faint, reads: 'MDCXCIII DOROTHEA CALTHORPE HOSPITIUM HOC FUNDIT VIRGO IN VIRGINIUM SOLAMEN.' The original foundation was intended for 6 poor women, but the endowment was insufficient. |
