Kilvert connections with Worcestershire.

The Kilverts were a Shropshire family (from Condover) who had migrated to Bath. The Rev. Robert Kilvert, the father of the Diarist, was himself a son of Francis Kilvert of Condover, whose brother Richard was Chaplain to Bishop Hurd of Worcester [a]. This Reverend Richard Kilvert was a Canon of Worcester and lived in the Close. The records tell us that he was Prebendary of the 4th Stall from 1786 to his death in 1817, and that in 1794 he was Vicar of Hallow & Grimley. We also know that from 1793 to 1801 he was Rector of Alvechurch and from 1801 to 1817 he was Rector of Hartlebury; all in Worcestershire. His wife (Maria) died in 1859 at the age of 95. Their daughter Maria continued to live in the Close (or College Green) right up to her death in 1870.

Now the Reverend Francis Kilvert (the Diarist) was Curate of Clyro in Radnorshire at the time of miss Maria Kilvert's daugther in 1870; he attended the funeral, and his parents came up from Langley Burrell in Wiltshire to attend it. There is Much in Kilvert's Diary about her death and funeral. On page 256 of the first volume you can read of the news of her death. Then on page 268 (and onwards as far as page 276) can be found that most vivid account of her funeral, and the happenings after the funeral. (Most of this is also in the abridged edition, on page 90 and onwards). Kilvert (the Diarist) stayed at the Star Hotel, in Worcester over the funeral; this is still there, not far from Forgate Street station. We also read that Mr. Hobbs was the valuer concerned with probate; that name still persists in Worcester today, the firm of Bentley Hobbs and Mytton in Forgate Street. The Diary tells us that Francis Kilvert thought that Miss Maria Kilvert had not left any of her fortune to his side of the family, for she had been offended (for some obscure reason) because his Uncle Francis had edited the "Memoirs of the Life and Writings of the Rt. Rev. Richard Hurd). This Uncle Francis would have been a nephew of Canon Richard Kilvert (Maria's father). But she must have relented, for in fact the Diary tells us that later on she left some £7,000 to the Rev Robert Kilvert of Langley Burrell.
