Murphy
Major Ernest Gambier-Parry OBE (25 October 1853 - 15 April 1936) was a British military officer who participated in an expedition to the Sudan to avenge the grisly death of a renowned general in 1885. However, the wounds he sustained in that campaign ended his military career. Gambier-Parry was also known for his work as an author, musician, and artist. He succeeded to the manor at Highnam Court following the death of the composer Sir Hubert Parry. In addition, he preserved and archived the art collection that had been amassed by his father Thomas Gambier Parry; the masterpieces were eventually bequeathed to the Courtauld Institute of Art.
Murphy
Major Gambier-Parry (1853-1936) was the author of: Annals of an Eton House with Some Notes on the Evans Family (1907), Spirit of the Old Folk (1913), "Murphy" A Message to Dog- Lovers (1913) and Ainslie Gore (1914). "Yes. He was born in the first week of June, in the year 1906. Quite a short while ago, as you see-that is, as we men count time-but long enough, just as a child's life is occasionally long enough, to affect the lives-ay, more, the characters- of some who claimed to be his betters on this present earth, with certainties in some dim and distant heaven that might or might not have a corner here or there for dogs.

'murphy' a Message to Dog Lovers
'Murphy' A Message to Dog Lovers by Ernest Gambier-Parry Yes. He was born in the first week of June, in the year 1906. Quite a short while ago, as you see-that is, as we men count time-but long enough, just as a child's life is occasionally long enough, to affect the lives-ay, more, the characters-of some who claimed to be his betters on this present earth, with certainties in some dim and distant heaven that might or might not have a corner here or there for dogs. His parentage was that of a royal house in purity of strain and length of pedigree, and he first saw the light in the yard of a mill upon the river, where the old wheel had groaned for generations or dripped in silence, according ...

Parry Before Jerusalem
First published in 1997, this volume demonstrates that through his activities as a composer, historian, lecturer and administrator, Sir Hubert Parry (1848-1918) played a significant role in British music during the latter half of the nineteenth century. Yet despite his achievements, this century has for the most part neglected both Parry’s writings and his compositions; his name is remembered by the general public for one work alone – Jerusalem. In this collection of essays, Bernard Benoliel examines some of the reasons for this neglect and reassesses some of Parry’s most important works. These essays show that it was due to the large number and diversity of his public engagements (bot...

Medieval and Later Ivories in the Courtauld Gallery
In 1966 Mark Gambier Parry bequeathed to the Courtauld Gallery the art collection formed by his grandfather Thomas Gambier Parry, who died in 1888. In addition to important paintings, Renaissance glass and ceramics, and Islamic metalwork, this included 28 medieval and Renaissance ivories. Since 1967 about half of the ivories have been on permanent display at The Courtauld, yet they have remained largely unknown, even to experts. This catalogue is the first publication dedicated solely to the collection. There are examples of the highest quality of ivory carving, both secular and religious in content, and a number of the objects are of outstanding interest. They are a revealing tribute to the...
