John Haverfield Sr. (1694–1784) was an English gardener.[1][2]

Career

[edit]

John Haverfield was a surveyor at Twickenham; he later moved to a house on Kew Green, which was known as Haverfield House. Lord Bute recommended John Haverfield to Princess Augusta in 1759. At that time there were two royal gardens at Kew, Richmond Gardens to the west and the grounds of Kew House to the east, which had been reconstructed by Capability Brown. John Haverfield was Head Gardener at Kew to Augusta, Dowager Princess of Wales, and superintendent of the Royal Gardens at Richmond Lodge. On the death of George II in 1760, Haverfield was in charge of Richmond Gardens and William Aiton of Kew Gardens. In 1762 his son John joined to assist his father. On Havefield's death in 1784 his son John followed him for a couple of years before concentrating on his own business. Aiton then succeeded to the management of both gardens, so combining the two main gardens.[3][4]

Personal life

[edit]

He married Ann Drew (1717-1769) in 1742 at Higham Ferrers, Northamptonshire.

Their children were

  • Rev William Haverfield (1749-1822)[7]

The three sons of John Snr were members of Kew Masonic Lodge. Johan Zoffany painted "The three brothers Haverfield" (John, Thomas and William).[8]

John Haverfield died 21 November 1784 at Kew, Surrey, and was buried on 29 October 1784 at St Anne's Church, Kew, in the family tomb. There is a cushion for him in St Anne's Church, Kew, which depicts Haverfield House.[9] Haverfield Gardens, Kew, is named after the family.

Albert Atkin Barkas (1861–1921) was a librarian in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames for 30 years. In 1893 he established the Local History Collection. He obtained the fine photographic survey of the town taken c.1900. The ‘Albert Barkas Room for Local Studies’ at the Old Town Hall is named in his memory.[1][2][3]

He was born 1861 in St Helier, Jersey, Channel Islands. He was married 1888 to Anna Julia De Gruchy (1864-1911) in Birmingham.[4] They had a daughter and two sons; another daughter died young.[5] The family moved to Richmond from Bordesley, Birmingham, in 1891 and lived at the Cottage, The Little Green, Richmond.[6] He committed suicide in 1921.[7] He was found in Richmond Park with a bullet wound to his head and died 2 days later on 15 May without regaining consciousness.[8][9] The funeral service took place at the Presbyterian Church and he was buried in Richmond Cemetery.[10]
