==Early life and family== |
|||
Calthorpe was born in Ampton, Suffolk on 28 December 1648 to [[James Calthorpe (Roundhead)|James Calthorpe (Roundhead)]] 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> |
|||
Her father James was a roundhead serving as [[High Sheriff of Suffolk]], in 1656, during the Protectorate of Oliver Cromwell, by whom he was knighted at Whitehall, 10 December, in the same year. |
|||
She lived her entire life in the village and remained unmarried. |
|||
==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]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Lot 94 the dorothy calthorpe manuscript |url=https://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2006/english-literature-history-fine-bindings-private-press-and-childrens-books-including-the-first-folio-of-shakespeare-l06404/lot.94.html}}</ref> The manuscript was purchased by the [[Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library]] at [[Yale University]] funded by the James Marshall and Marie-Louise Osborn Fund, 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> |
|||
The volume is comprised of the following parts; |
|||
* "Philismena to Philander", 40 lines of verse, in rhymed couplets, beginning "tis not Philander that I disallow". |
|||
* "Philander to Philismena", 62 lines of verse, in rhymed couplets, beginning "oh glorious conquest infenetly aboue". |
|||
* "In commendations of a country Life it being so innocent", 32 lines of verse, in rhymed couplet beginning "oh how I hate the tumults of a Citty". |
|||
* "A Discription of the Garden of Edden", an imaginative prose account. |
|||
* "A Short History of the Life and Death of Sr Ceasor Dappefer / or els a pleasent histtory of Jewlious: and Dorinda the truth of it was so Lately represented that some of those worthy persons are still liueing and ownes what: is here repated", aprose narrative, dated at the end 1677, followed by three pages of explanation about the "designe of this Littell Memoise", which was "to giue a true relation of my owne famely" under assumed names. |
|||
* "A Castell in the aire or the pallace of the man in the moon", a prose, a religious meditation in the first person, apparently lacking ending on one of two excised leaves. |
|||
* "Philismena to Philander" and half of "Philander to Philismena" again, written from the reverse end and heavily deleted with a series of swirling loops. |

Dorothy died on 8th November 1693 and in her will dated 18 May 1693 left a number of bequests to the local poor. |
|||
She left £1,000 to the perpetual endowment of almshouses in Ampton for the use of six old widows or maids. and a further £100 to be used to construct the houses.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Carr-Calthrop |first=Christopher William |url=http://archive.org/details/notesonfamilieso00carr |title=Notes on the families of Calthorpe & Calthrop in the counties of Norfolk and Lincolnshire... comp. from various sources as herein indicated by Colonel Chistopher William Carr-Calthrop. |date=1933 |publisher=London, [F.A. Perry] 1933. |others=Allen County Public Library Genealogy Center}}</ref> The bequest was insufficient and only four almshouses were constructed. |
|||
£500 was given to the local town of [[Bury St Edmunds]] to apprentice poor boys in handicrafts. |
|||
A marble monument is mounted on the south wall of St Peter's Church Ampton depicting her knelling by a bookstand with allegorical carvings including a skull and an hourglass. |

Today the almshouses form a private residence in Ampton known as Park lodge. It is a single storey building of 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 make up the roof. Four 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.' |
