Nodyn | Note

Egerton Grenville Bagot Phillimore, an antiquarian who specialised in Welsh and Celtic history,languages and literature, was born in 1856, the only son of John George Phillimore, Q.C., and RosalindKnight Bruce. The family moved to Shiplake House near Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, in 1859,but for financial reasons they were unable to remain there after J. G. Phillimore's death in 1865. WhenEgerton's mother died in 1871, he was taken under the guardianship of his uncle, the lawyer Sir RobertJoseph Phillimore, and he finally sold Shiplake to his cousin Walter, later Lord Phillimore, shortly afterhis uncle's death in 1885.Egerton Phillimore inherited from his parents a strong resistance to conformity, as a result of whichfamily relations were sometimes strained. He married and was widowed twice: firstly in 1880 to SusanElise Roscow, by whom he had a son and three daughters; and then, after Elise died in 1893, to MarionOwen in 1897, a marriage which he kept secret even from his own children. He encountered considerablefinancial problems throughout his life, especially after Marion died in 1904.Phillimore was educated at Westminster Boys' School and Christ Church, Oxford, where he graduatedB.A. in 1879 and M.A. in 1883. While at Oxford, he developed a profound interest in antiquarianism,particularly in Wales. He became familiar with a number of prominent Celtic scholars, including Sir JohnRhys and Whitley Stokes, and began to learn Welsh in 1880. He taught for some time at Oxford, andbecame an avid collector of manuscripts and rare books, travelling widely in Wales and eventually settlingin Corris, Merionethshire, around 1903, where he lived until his death in 1937.Even though he only published a single work under his own name, Egerton Phillimore contributedextensively to contemporary literary and historical publications. From 1886, he published scholarlyarticles on early Welsh history, literature, topography, genealogy and place-names in journals includingBye Gones, Archaeologia Cambrensis and Y Cymmrodor, the latter of which he edited between 1889and 1891, his most significant article being 'The publications of Welsh historical records' (Cymmrodorxi [1877]). He also provided detailed footnotes on Welsh place-names and traditions for Henry Owen'sedition of George Owen's Description of Pembrokeshire (4 vols, 1892-1936).Egerton Phillimore was never fully respected by his scholarly contemporaries, probably because of hiseccentric nature. He was disorganised; his handwriting was often barely legible; he was perennially infinancial crisis; he married against the better judgement of his family; and he acquired a reputation forhaving an interest in erotic and ribald texts, largely because of his article 'Welsh aedoeology', whichwas published in the journal Kryptadia in 1884. It was in fact a scholarly work on Welsh etymology, butthe misrepresentation stuck because it contained a degree of truth about Phillimore's puerile interest ingenitalia, sex and toilet humour.

Hanes Gwarchodol | Custodial history

It appears that most of the papers in the archive arrived at the National Library of Wales shortly afterEgerton Phillimore's death in 1937. It is not clear whether they were donated by his daughter or bought by



the Library through the offices of Galloway and Sons, Aberystwyth; there is, however, enough survivingcorrespondence between his daughter, the Library and Galloway and Sons to suggest that they weretransferred at this time. Furthermore, there is no formal record of their receipt in the National Library'sAnnual Report, and there are many conflicting reports (based entirely on dated hearsay) of Libraryofficials driving to Corris to 'save' what was left of Phillimore's collections, and others of the collectionbeing 'censored' for unsavoury material before being transferred to the Library.Another two small deposits were made at later dates. The first donation was made by Mr A. O. Jones,Corris, in December 1958, and consisted of letters, 1912-1929, sent by Egerton Phillimore to the ownersof Bryn Awel, Corris, relating to his tenancy of the house. These have now been incorporated into thearchive. The second donation was made by Mrs Millicent Gregory, Comins Coch, Aberystwyth, 1991,and included notes, press-cuttings and six letters, 1885-1911, sent to Phillimore by Llywarch Reynolds, A.E. Lawson Lowe and John Fisher; these have also been incorporated into the archive.

Archives relating to the extended Phillimore family are kept at a number of repositories; for details, seeThe Phillimore Papers 1798-1945: an illustrated guide to a naval, political, country house and estatearchive (Ashford Press : Botley, 1997). In particular, letters from Egerton Phillimore to his uncle,Augustus Phillimore, are Hampshire Record Office C 80/1/1-14. Much of Phillimore's collection ofmanuscripts now forms part of the NLW manuscript collection, having been sold to Sir John Williamsin 1894, and NLW also holds the 'Phillimore Deeds', which were similarly collected by him.

Galley proofs, with corrections in Egerton Phillimore's hand, of his 'Welsh Aedoeology', the firstpart of which was published in the second volume of a German journal entitled Kryptadia in 1884,pp. 323-97. It was widely believed to have been a collection of erotic Welsh literature, and it earnedhim an unfortunate reputation, but it was in fact a scholarly etymological work. The remainder of the'Aedoeology' was never published, although it was meant to be continued in Volume III.
