Additional notes
supplied by Mark Davies, author of "The Abingdon Waterturnpike
Murder" - a book detailing the crime fro which Gyles Freeman
Covington was eventually
hung for committing writes:
"was the first of
the London-based Covington family to move to Abingdon, and must have done so
soon after his marriage, to Elizabeth whose
surname is unknown.
[Yet, could she perhaps have been a Freeman? This information is not in the
book, but the few references to Freeman in the St
Helen's Church, Abingdon’s records are
tantalising. Elizabeth, the d. of Margaret (? - 1761) and Giles (? – 1762, b.
Culham), was c. on 11 May
1707. Both the names
Giles and Freeman (and Elizabeth), and the Culham connection are persuasive.]
The Borough of Abingdon’s
Minutes (Borough of Abingdon Minutes) of 21 May 1773 show that Roger Covington,
taylor, received a loan of £10, with
Bryant Spokes (breeches maker) and John Brewer
(staymaker) as his sureties. He paid back the first instalment of £2 in 1776,
and had paid the whole
loan off by 1784 (Abingdon Chamberlain's
Accounts).
At some point between
1768 (when the property was in the occupancy of someone else) and 1775, the
Covington family lived on the east side of
Butcher Row, Borough of
Abingdon Minutes 24 Mar 1775 showing that Roger had formerly resided there. He
had returned by 1783, Borough of
Abingdon Minutes 1 Jan
1783 showing him to be in occupation of “a messuage or tenement and shop with
the appurtenances in the Butcherow on
the east side” – which
he still occupied at his death in 1798.
In 1780 Roger was elected
to the prestigious post of Bellman (Borough of Abingdon Minutes 21 Jun 1780),
taking the place of the widow Elizabeth
Couling, “who is taken
into hospital”. The role of Bellman was a responsible and varied one. The
duties were listed in full when Richard Gilkes
(Giles’ brother-in-law)
assumed the post in September 1798. The 17 responsibilities, most remunerated
on a case by case basis, included attending
the Mayor at church on
Sundays and other public events; attending the Borough Court; attending the
Quarter Sessions; making public proclamations
in the town and beyond, “to turn all vagrants
out of town, and see they do not return”; to clean and light the corporation
lights; to undertake a
nightly watch, with an
able bodied man; to clean the Corporation’s knives and forks; to clean and oil
the fire engine; to clean and care for the Market
House; to sweep the Bury every Tuesday morning
round the Market House, and “to see that the scavenger do take the filth away”.
When Roger was elected
he signed a declaration agreeing “not to keep a common alehouse or sell ale,
beer or any other strong liquor”, and was
issued with a special
coat, hat, and badge. Indeed, he made the coat himself, for which he was paid
4s (Abingdon Chamberlain's Accounts). The
nature of this uniform
is revealed in Borough of Abingdon Minutes 13 Jun 1783, when he was issued with
“a new laced hat, a new cloke, and new
coat, waistcoat,
breeches and stockings of blue colour as formerly.”
From 1780 (Abingdon
Chamberlain's Accounts) he was paid a salary of £6 as Bellman, plus the £2
formerly paid to Couling, with an additional £1
10s “for turning
vagrants out of town” and £7 10s for himself “and one able bodied man to assist
him in the nightly watch one year and a half.” In
addition through the
1780s he received regular payments of 9s “for grinding knives”, 12s “for
cleaning and oyling an engine” (for use against fires),
£1 10s “for cleaning and
lighting lamps”, and 6s “for cleaning knives and forks”. In Borough of Abingdon
Minutes 1 Dec 1786 he was issued with a
nine gallon bushel, in
order to settle any disputes over measures of grain, the Corporation
authorising him to receive 4d from the party proved to be
in the wrong. The
Bellman’s duties also included procuring various quantities (“assizes”, in the
sense of ‘assessed’ quantities?) of bread every year
(conveniently
distributed by his oldest son, Edward), and payments for arranging bonfires.
In March 1789 it was a
bonfire with a difference. George III was a popular monarch, but subject to
sudden and unpredictable bouts of mental illness.
So JOJ was pleased to record on 14/3/1789 “the
happy restoration of his Majesty’s health … and resumption of his royal
authority”. It was the cue for
celebrations on a national scale, and in
Abingdon the event was marked “by the ringing of bells, bonfires and a general
illumination, with many
curious emblematical
devices and every demonstration of zealous attachment.” Beer was distributed to
the populace, and “that most false and
execrable libel on
Majesty, of Saturday last, in the Morning Herald, was consigned to be burnt
publicly by the Common Cryer in the Marker Place.”
The Cryer in question
would have been Roger Covington, because another important role of the Bellman
was to announce to a largely illiterate
populace any new laws,
borough regulations or other items of public interest. Hence, the various
references in Abingdon Chamberlain's Accounts to
“drawing cry and fair
copy” expounding on such matters as “keeping the Sabbath” (1785), the “suppression
of counterfeit halfpence” (1790), and
“keeping dogs indoors“
and ”destroying mad dogs” (1791).
Even with these
seemingly endless calls on the Bellman’s time, day and night, he still managed
to keep his needle busy, and was paid 10s in 1785
to replace his own “cloaths“
or uniform (Abingdon Chamberlain's Accounts). Roger Covington therefore
obviously truly was the “industrious honest
man” RMOG 10 Jan 1791
called him. But even he was not without a streak of mischief. As “Hall-keeper
of the County Court, Abingdon”, he was
forced to make a public
apology to twelve members of a jury (including the victualler and fellow
tailor, John Giles) whom he had locked up “for the
space of two hours after
they had agreed on their verdict, and also did ridicule and laugh at said jury
under their confinement”. (JOJ 19 Oct 1782).
At the time of Roger’s
death in 1798 (b. Culham 11 Sep 1798), the Covington family collectively owned
numerous properties, including something
called “the toll of the
market”, a privilege presumably deriving from his role as Bellman (D/EP7 166).
Why he chose to be buried in Culham, rather
than St Helens, where he
had worshipped, is not clear.
If Roger hoped that
moving to Abingdon would ensure an honest upbringing for his family, he was
only partially right. His first three sons, Edward
(1755 – 1805), John
(1757 - 1795?), and Thomas (1762 – 1838?) did well for themselves. His youngest
son, Giles (1767 – 1791), of course, did not.
By the time Giles
Freeman, his youngest son, was c. on 12 Apr 1767, Roger seems to have achieved
his freedom, although no record exists, and if
so this no doubt
influenced the choice of Giles’ middle name. Certainly the next year Roger was
included for the first time amongst the 250 people
eligible to vote in the
election of that year (Gough Berks 3, fol. 27). This is the earliest reference
to him being a tailor, and it is worth noting in
passing that his
political allegiances differed at that time from those of the father of his
future daughter-in-law. Ballots were public affairs in those
days, and whereas the
glazier Thomas Gilkes voted for Nathaniel Bayley, Covington plumped for John
Molton, the narrow winner."

Additional notes
supplied by Mark Davies, author of "The Abingdon Waterturnpike
Murder" - a book detailing the crime fro which Gyles Freeman
Covington was eventually
hung for committing writes: "the oldest was c. 30 Jul 1755 (StH), and
became a successful baker. He had a particular
status, being entrusted
to distribute the “bread for the poor” paid for out of Mr Royse’s Gift (a
charitable bequest) from at least 1782, when the sum
was £2 12s (ACA),
through to the early 1800s. Edward was successful enough to be named amongst
the select tradespeople of Abingdon to appear
in the 1796 Universal
British Directory.
He married three times,
or possibly four. His first wife, Elizabeth Stone (m.19 Aug 1781 StH), was b.
at Marcham 4 May 1783 (w. of Edward); his
second, Joanna Crook (m.
20 Feb 1785 StH) was b. StH 4 Dec 1792 (w. of Edward); and another Elizabeth
survived him (ww b. Culham 14 May
1809), Edward himself
having been b. 1 Mar 1805 at Culham (PRO will is dated 1803). Yet there seems
also to have been another wife, Sara
Rounds (m. 25 Nov 1793
StH), before Elizabeth. Presumably she and Edward divorced (assuming she is the
same Sarah Covington “of Abingdon”
who was b. at Culham
aged 85 in 1835 – and whose will at PRO is dated that year) before the
(undated) marriage to the second Elizabeth.
But it is also possible
that another Edward had appeared on the scene too by then. Despite these
multiple marriages Edward had only one child,
John, in 1782 (c. 30 Jun
1782 StH), who went on to have seven children with Ann (of unknown surname, but
presumably the Ann ’’of Abingdon” b. at
Culham aged 73 in 1852) between 1805 and 1814.
These were: Elizabeth (c. 1804), Jane* (c. 1805), Susan (c. 1807, Mary Ann (c.
1809), Edward
(c. 1811), Martha (c.
1812), and James (c. 1814), all at StN.
The family’s recorded
association with Culham begins with the burial of James (of no clear
relationship) in 1785, a year when both Edward and his
father paid rates on
properties in Abingdon.
* When Jane married in
1827, one of the witnesses was Sarah Covington."

"The Abingdon Waterturnpike Murder" - a book
detailing the crime fro which Gyles Freeman
Covington was eventually hung for committing writes: ", the second son of
Roger and Elizabeth
Covington was c. 1 Nov
1757 (St Helen's Church, Abingdon), and was awarded £7 from Mr Mayott’s Charity
to be apprentice to his father (Borough of
Abingdon Minutes 5 Feb 1772). [John Mayott (? –
1703) had been a mercer, whose dyehouse and wharf was acquired by John Tomkins,
founder of
the Tomkins fortune, in
the 17th century (Naylor).
The Charity originated
from the generosity of a descendant, Robert Mayott, and provided funds for
clothing and education as well as
apprenticeships. His
school catered for ten Mayott and ten Provost pupils (both boys and girls),
recommended by the Corporation.] John Covington
married Frances White on
28 Aug 1782 (St Helen's Church, Abingdon), but appears to have had no
offspring. His wife may well have been another
of the White family with
innkeeping connections (see Shury) because John was an alehousekeeper from at
least October 1787 (A/JQ1), and in 1796
was named in the
Universal British Directory as the proprietor of a pub called The Chaise and
Horses.
It is presumably the
same John, “from the Chaise and Pair, Culham” who was b. at St Nicholas Church,
Abingdon in 1795, however".

to Susan 14206. Additional notes supplied by Mark Davies, author of "The
Abingdon Waterturnpike Murder" - a book
detailing the crime fro
which Gyles Freeman Covington was eventually hung for committing writes:
"the third son of Roger and Elizabeth, was c. 30
Nov 1762 (St Helen's
Church, Abingdon). He and Edward ensured the Covington line by having six
children with Susan (of unknown surname)
between 1786 and 1805.
These were James (c. 1786), Susan (c. 1798, b. 1803), Charles (c. 1800),
William (c, 1802), Edward (c.1804), and
Benjamin (c. 1805), all
at StH. A seventh child, Henry s. of Thomas, was b. 1809 (StH).
Like his brother, Thomas
also benefitted from a £7 grant from Mr Mayott’s Charity (son of Roger), to enable
him to take up an apprenticeship (BAM
28 Feb 1775). Presumably
he also trained as a tailor, because he seems certain to be the same Thomas
who, when taking a 21 year lease on
property in East St
Helen’s Street in 1795, was described as a tailor of Shaftesbury Place
(formerly running from 34 Aldersgate Street) Aldersgate,
London (BAM 17 Jun
1795).
Thomas obviously did
well for himself in the family trade. In 1797 he owned six tenements in
Abingdon which were sub-let to tenants (D/EP7 166),
and BAM notes his
possession of premises in Boar Street in 1803 and in Bury Lane in 1810. He
maintained his dual interests till his death, supposed
at 1838 from the date of his will (PRO), his
address then being a London one, yet his description being “gentleman of
Abingdon”.

Died: 7 Mar 1791 at Oxford Castle aged
23. Mar: 5 Feb 1789 at Abingdon to
Gilkes, Ann 4166. Also shown as Giles. Christened 12 April 1767 at St
Helen's Church, Abingdon. Sailor. Spelling of
name shown as Giles Covington on marriage records. Hung on 7 March 1791 at
Oxford Castle for
murder.
"The murder victim,
a Scottish pedlar named David Charteris, was on his way home to Toot Baldon
from the Michaelmas Hiring Fair at Abingdon on
the night of the 8 October 1787, when a bunch
of thugs set about him with a hedge stake as he was climbing over a stile near
Nuneham Wood.
Later that week some
chums from Toot Baldon discovered his body sitting upright in a ditch and when
they pulled off his hat and wig they
uncovered the grisly
evidence of several hefty blows. Despite a reward of 70 guineas (more than most
people earned in a year in those days!),
nothing was heard of the
crime for another three years.
Then Richard Kilby was
caught and flogged at Reading for deserting from the Berkshire Militia. the
whip seems to have loosened his tongue and he
offered to turn King's
Evidence and confessed to his part in the Charteris crime in return for a Royal
Pardon. According to him. it was Charles Evans
Shury who suggested
robbing David Charteris to himself, John Castle and Giles Covington. Shury
struck the first blow, then Covington joined in and
helped finish the poor
pedlar off. After they returned to Abindgon, they went to Shury's house and he
gave them 10 guineas in gold and silver each,
saying: "Now, my
boys, let us be true to each other"
On 16 July 1790, Shury
and Castle were tried at the Midsummer Assizes in Oxford for the pedlar's
murder. A Thames bargeman called Bossom said
Castle "had some
time ago confessed to him that he had no rest, night or day, from the horror of
having been concerned in the murder of the
Scotchman". The
report of the trial in Jackson's Oxford Journal is rather confusing, and the
only evidence concerning Shury, apart from Kilby's
confession, implied he
thought Kilby was out to "do" him by blaming him for the crime.
However the jury had no hesitation in finding both men
guilty and the judge,
after a stern lecture, directed them to be executed and their bodies to be
delivered to the surgeons, to be dissected and
anatomised.
Meanwhile Giles
Covington was at sea. As soon as his ship docked in London at the beginning of
1791, two Bow Street runners brought him to
Oxford and on 4 March he
also stood trial for the pedlar's murder. Clearly he felt the same way about
Kilby as Shury. It was reported that his
behaviour was so
audacious during the trial whilst Kilby was giving evidence, that he made a
sudden spring towards him and attempted a blow at
his head. The jury found him guilty on the same
evidence as the other two and on 7 March 1791, "a prodigiuous multitude of
spectators" watched
his execution from the
tower at the entrance to Oxford Castle, now part of Oxford Prison. He mounted
the scaffold dressed in his sailor's jacket and
trousers with white
gloves and a white hatband and before motioning the hangman to proceed, tossed
down a paper. It was a semi-literate letter
addressed to local
magistrate Christopher Willoughby. "I hope you and your family will live
to find that Giles Freeman Covington died innocent and
then I hope you would
relieve the widow that is left behind if Bedlam is not to be her doom"
His body was cut down
and delivered to the University Reader in Anatomy, Dr Pegge. The following day
he carved it up at a public lecture in the
Anatomy School at Christ
Church College. He then decided that Giles Covington would make a useful
teaching aid. His bones were wired together
and his skeleton
eventually found its way to the University Museum in Parks Road in 1860. It
stood in a glass case for more than 100 years, labelled
simply Englishman,
before being relegated to the Bone Room. It may have stayed there had not a
member of staff spotted the inscription Giles
Covington on the lower
jaw and passed it on to the Museum of Oxford, where it is on display today,
along with Kilby's confession and the letter Giles
Covington tossed down from the gallows.
A detailed dossier on
his case has been compiled by Miss Evelyn Wallace, an attendant at the Museum
of Oxford, and on Thursday 7 March 1991
(the 200th anniversary
of his execution) a petition was launched in an attempt to get the Queen to
grant a royal pardon. Signatures will be sent to
the Royal Prerogative of
Mercy Division at the Home Office. A spokesman for the Home Office has said
"Normally cases like this involve people who
are still alive and in
prison. But the rules are still the same. Miss Wallace will have to produce new
evidence to show the original conviction was
unsafe" (I.G.I
London/Berkshire) (Letter from Miss Evelyn Wallace, March 1991)(Press cuttings
of articles by A.J.McIlroy, Daily Telegraph & Don
Chapman, Oxford).
A further article
appeared in nthe Daily Telegraph on 16 Jul 2001 citing the efforts of the
Oxford Museum's curator, John Lange, to secure a full
Christian burial for
Giles. "He has already secured the agreement in principle of Wolvercote
Cemetery in Oxford to bury Giles, but also hopes to clear
Giles' name by Royal Pardon"

Mavis (b. 30/5/1927)
& Rodney (b.7/8/1933). Her husband was a director of a large building firm,
Comben & Wakeling. They lived in a large house
in Stanmore. They
married at St John's Parish Church, Wembley. He died around 1985.
The following is an
extract from a biographical work by Bob Wallis entitled "The Wallis's -
The Complete Story:
Born on August 6th 1905
at Thelma, Napier Road, Wembley, Constance Beatrice Covington was the youngest
daughter of Fredrick William
Covington - a farrier
and Sarah M. Pass. Her elder sister, Marion Irene had been born on February
28th 1903.
Constance and her sister
Marion had always been very close and spent all their time together. As they
grew up the rivalry between them became
more noticeable. Marion
was a serious person while Constance was good looking and grew into a beautiful
young lady. Despite all these advantages
Constance was envious of her sister and worked
hard to ensure she always held the lime light
When Marion came of age
a party was planned to celebrate her birthday. It was at the party that
Constance chose to grab the limelight by
announcing her
engagement Eric Wakeling, and in so doing took all the attention away from her
sister.
A year later, Constance
was married to Eric Arthur Wakeling of Dagmar House, Park Lane, Wembley. It was
a very wet day on June 2nd 1926 The
wedding took place at St
John’s Anglican Church, in Wembley. The Reverend J.W.P, Sylvester, (father of
Victor Sylvester the well-known dance
bandleader), conducted
the ceremony. Arthur Moore the Bridegroom’s brother in law was the best man.
Her father gave her away.
Constance’s father was
well known as the oldest playing member of the Wembley cricket club. Little
Dorothy Pass was the trainbearer and performed
her duties in a
fascinating manner. She wore a silver dress that matched the bride’s train,
worked with lilies of the valley. A silver crown adorned her
head! In a later chapter
“Dorothy’s Story” Dorothy tells of her own life in Wembley. Marion, the bride’s
sister was the chief bridesmaid and the groom’s
sister; Muriel Wakeling was a bridesmaid.
Horace and Victor (Harold) Comben acted as groom’s men.
Even though the weather
was dreadful the church was full to overflowing. Over one hundred and fifty
guests attended the reception at Dagmar
House. After the
celebrations the couple left by car for their honeymoon in Devon, the bride
wore her white fox fur, a wedding present from the
groom.
After the honeymoon the
couple set up home in a semi-detached house in Park Lane. The house had been a
gift from Eric’s father, William Henry
Wakeling. It was at this
time that Connie Everette joined the couple as a personnel maid.
Connie’s family lived in
Wembley; she had two brothers and a sister. The brothers worked as delivery
boys for the shop in Wembley owned by the
Pass family. Sarah Pass
suggested that Connie should take up service as personnel maid with Eric and
Con Wakeling. Connie accepted the advice
and held the position
for nearly seventy years.
In May 1928 Constance
had a baby daughter, Pamela Mavis.
Nurse Barr joined the staff as Nanny to Pamela and shared her room. It was now
obvious the
semi-detached house was far too small for the growing family and a move was
made to the luxury Spanish style, modern, detached
house. The house in East
Lane, Wembley, was called, ‘Villa d’Este’. William Henry Wakeling had built the
new house for his son Eric it was here in
1933 that Pamela’s
brother, Rodney was born.
Motor bike racing had
become a very popular sport at that time. Bike racing was held at the Wembley
Stadium and this in turn brought great
numbers of supporters to
the area for the races. The supporters usually took a route along East Lane.
And many had motor bikes of their own! The
noise and inconvenience
upset the family and a decision was made to look elsewhere for another house.
In a quieter area.
Eventually they found
their ideal home in Elms Road, Harrow Weald. The Paddocks had almost three
acres of ground with a further nine acres
adjoining the property.
This nine acres was purchased by the company for use in the future but in the
meantimes Eric would manage it and have the
use of the area. This further acreage included
a wood and an old horse pond. Mr. Wakeling modernised the house, extended the
sunroom, and
added a further bedroom
and bathroom.
Wood panelling was put
in the hall and landing, and the whole house was painted white on the outside.
A rose garden and vistas were prepared
and the family moved in
later that year. Constance Wakeling, Pamela’s mother, suffered from agoraphobia
and would never go out alone. When she
did venture out it was usually in a car. Pamela
and myself have felt that Eric’s father designed and built “Villa s’Este” as a
wedding gift to Eric and
Constance but it had not
been suitable. The Paddocks was purchased with what Eric obtained from the sale
of the Wembley house .
The extension and
modifications made to the Paddocks were paid for in part by his father William
but anything else it would seem was to be paid for
by Eric. With Eric joining the company after
his travels to New Zealand he had to make do on an office salary Though he was
given shares and
other income from the
company however he was not made a director until after his father died. His
partners fared better for James Comben died
some twenty years before
and so his sons took over their half of the company. Constance Wakeling had
experience in secretarial work and had picked
up office management ideas before she married
and we feel she backed Eric to become a director and take his turn at the
tiller but William would
not make him a director
until after William died.
From letters and
photographs we have of Eric and Constance marriage to 1951 (when William
died).it is clear the furniture and fitting at the
Paddocks were of a very
cheap quality. It was only after Williams death that the quality furniture and
carpets arrived and these came from what Eric
had been left by his
parents Later Pamela and I realised just why the Wedding Settlement which
William Wakeling had given to Pamela was so
important.
One Sunday morning in
1936 Rodney, Pamela’s young brother, was playing in the garden. His nurse, Anne
Gibbons had gone to church but when
she return she found
Rodney had got himself wet through. Nobody seemed to know whether he had fallen
in the pond or had been splashing about
in puddles. Nurse
Gibbons changed him into dry clothes and everything seemed to return to normal
Rodney showing no ill effects. From his soaking.
The following Wednesday
Rodney awoke tired and was allowed to stay indoors playing with his nurse. As
he was still tired she put him to bed at
teatime.
That day Constance had
been out with her sister Marion and on her return Nurse Gibbons told her that
Rodney was not his usual self and had gone
to bed. Constance did
not see him. Later that evening Rodney awoke crying and nurse found he had been
sick, Constance was called to see him
and she decided to call
Dr. Tudor Edwards the family doctor. The doctor suggested someone should stay
with Rodney through the night. Nurse
Gibbons stayed with him
comforting him on the several occasions he was sick.
Constance visited them a
few times then took over while nurse rested. But she did not get much in the
way of rest for within an hour she was called to
see Rodney who had now become much worse. The
doctor was called again and he arrived with a qualified nurse assistant Who put
Rodney in an
oxygen tent while Pamela
who had woken up was told not to go into Rodney’s room. But she did go in and
Pamela was glad she had defied the
order. She was never to
see her brother again for Rodney died the following morning from pneumonia.
From that moment Constance had all his
photos and clothes taken
away and his name was never mentioned again. Pamela did tell me of him and said
her father attended to his grave
regularly. One day I saw
Mr Wakeling at the grave so joined him but did not discuss his son.
According to Nurse
Gibbons she often heard and saw Eric crying in his room holding his photo or
some part of his clothing. Constance would not talk

Wikepedia entry reads:
Covington was born in Regina and grew up in Vancouver. He showed an early
interest in astronomy, and had built a 5-inch
(130 mm) refractor
telescope after meeting members of the local chapter of the Royal Astronomical
Society of Canada. He was also
interested in
amateur radio and
operated station VE3CC for a time. He started his career as a radio operator on
ships operated by the Canadian National
Railways.
He put himself though
school and eventually earned a bachelor's degree from the University of British
Columbia in 1938, and obtained his master's
degree from the same
institution in 1940 after building an electron microscope. He then moved to
University of California in Berkeley where he
received his doctoral
degree in nuclear physics in 1942. He
was still at Berkeley when he was invited to join the National Research Council
(NRC) in
Ottawa in 1942 as a radar technician, working
at the NRC's Radio Field Station.
Solar observations -
Immediately after the war Covington became interested in radio astronomy, and
built a small telescope out of the electronic
parts from a surplus
SCR-268 radar combined with parts from another receiver originally built to
test silicon crystal radio parts for radar applications.
These electronics were
attached to the 4 ft (1.2 m) parabolic dish from a Type III gun-laying radar.
The system operated at a frequency of 2800
MHz, or a wavelength of
10.7 cm. Initially the instrument was pointed in the direction of various
celestial objects, including Jupiter, the Milky Way,
aurora borealis, and the
Sun, but it proved too insensitive to pick up any source other than the Sun. So
a solar study program was started. As time
passed, Covington and
his colleagues realized that the Sun's emission at 10.7 cm wavelength was
varying, which was unexpected. Thinking at that
time was that the solar
emission at centimeter wavelengths would be simply black body emission from a
ball of hot gas.
Covington became
convinced that the effect was due to sunspots, as the flux appeared to vary
with the number of visible spots. The resolution of the
device, about seven degrees, made it
impossible to "pick out" a spot on the sun's surface for study,
making a demonstration of the claim difficult. An
opportunity to directly measure this
possibility presented itself on November 23, 1946 when a partial solar eclipse
passed over the Ottawa area, and
Covington was able to
conclusively demonstrate that the microwave emissions dropped off precipitously
when the Moon covered a particularly large
sunspot. This also
demonstrated that magnetic fields were instrumental in sunspot activity.
It was entirely by
accident that the original instrument operated on frequencies suitable to
detection of the 10.7 cm signal, and it had never been
intended for
"production" use. As the importance of the sunspot measurements
became obvious, plans were made to continue these observations
over a longer time
period. As the Radio Field Station was still actively being used for radar
development, and causing heavy interference as a result,
a new location was selected about five miles
(8 km) away at Goth Hill. Here they measured the whole-disk flux and averaged
the measurements to
produce three
highly-accurate measurements a day.
He then set about
designing an instrument that could directly resolve portions of the sun's disk.
The new telescope consisted of a 150 ft (46 m) long
section of 3 by 1½ inch
metal waveguide cut with slots in locations to create a simple interferometer
with a fan-shaped area of sensitivity. The
amount of flux gathered
was improved by placing the waveguide in metal trough, and the direction of aim
could be changed slightly by rotating the
waveguide inside the trough, but in general
terms it was used to take measurements as the sun passed through its
"beam". The new telescope
started operation in
1951, allowing them to directly measure the flux from the Sun’s corona and the
temperature of the regions above sunspots
(about 1,500,000 °C).
The Goth Hill observatory also included a number of other instruments for a
variety of measurements.
ARO - Increasing radar
and radio use in the Ottawa area presented interference problems, and Covington
turned his attention to finding a more
suitable "radio
quiet" location for the program. This led to the creation of the Algonquin
Radio Observatory (ARO) in Algonquin Park, about 150 km
northwest of Ottawa but
relatively easy to access on major highways. A new 6 ft (1.8 m) parabolic dish
solar flux telescope was built in 1960,
operating in parallel
before taking over duties from the Goth Hill instrument in 1962. In 1964 an
identical instrument was installed at the Dominion
Astrophysical
Observatory (DAO) in British Columbia. This was followed by a more powerful
version of the waveguide instrument, this time focused
by a series of
thirty-two 10 ft (3 m) dishes arranged over a 700 ft (215 m) waveguide, which
opened in 1966.
The ARO was greatly
expanded in 1966 with the opening of the 150 ft (46 m) deep-space telescope.
This was a major research site through the
1960s and 70s, although
limitations in its design made it see less use in the 1980s. For some time this
instrument was joined by a smaller 18 m
telescope originally
located at the David Dunlap Observatory outside Toronto, operated by the
University of Toronto. The original solar observatories
remained in use until 1990 when funding
drawdowns at the NRC forced the closure of the entire Algonquin site. In 1991
the 1.8 m dish was moved
to the DAO as a backup
instrument.
Covington's work led to
other solar-related discoveries. Observations in 1969 led to the realization
that certain types of major sunspot breakouts were
preceded by a particular
type of radio signal, which allowed advanced prediction of upcoming solar
storms. As other teams also started studying the
solar flux they noticed
that the different teams all came to different conclusions about the total
flux, due to differences in the instruments and other
effects. Covington
worked on an effort to correlate these measurements and solve a single flux
number, which was published in 1972. He also played
a role in the construction of the Indian River
Observatory, an amateur built 200 m interferometer.
Retirement - Covington
remained the director of the ARO until he retired in 1978. He died in 2001 in
Kingston, Ontario, at 88 years old. One of the
buildings at the
Dominion Astrophysical Observatory was named in his honour in 2003

- The
collection was started
by the presentation of two books by Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Covington in 1973. A
Riche-Covington Trust was established in the
same year for the
collection maintenance, and the acquisition of primary materials in the history
of radio science and technology. The collection is
complemented by the
McNicol Collection (see entry 235).
The collection deals
specifically with the development of radio science in Canada. It includes
material on radio astrophysics, radio astronomy, solar
radio astronomy, radar,
and early radio astronomy. Primary source and printed materials gathered by the
donor (pamphlets , correspondence,
newspapers, reports,
posters, journal issues, and books) are included. The chronological emphasis is
from World War II to the present. New titles in
related subjects are
purchased. The donor continues to add personal material to the collection
regularly.
1264 items (including
monographs, serials, pamphlets, correspondence, newspaper items, committee
reports, etc.). The material in the Physics
Library is more general
and supports the Riche-Covington Collection.
The collection is
uncatalogued although a separately published bibliography is available (see
below). The collection is open to the public. Winter
hours are:
Monday-Friday, 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.; and 7:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m. Summer hours are:

2736. Additional notes supplied by Mark Davies, author of "The Abingdon
Waterturnpike
Murder" - a book detailing the crime fro which Gyles Freeman Covington was
eventually hung for committing writes: "Giles
Covington’s future wife
was c. 14 Apr 1768 (StH), the fourth of eight children chistened by Thomas (? -
1787) & Ann (? – 1786) between 1761 and
1779. The name Gilkes
first appears in the Abingdon records about the same time as the Covingtons,
the c. of Thomas’ oldest son, Richard, in 1761
being the earliest
appearance of the name.
Soon after, Thomas’
business expanded. JOJ 24 Dec 1763 carried an advert announcing that Rachel
Gilkes, widow of a Watlington plumber and
glazier, would continue
the business with assistance from the deceased’s brother, Mr Thomas Gilkes,
plumber and glazier of Abingdon.
In 1774 Thomas was
replaced by another plumber and glazier, William Goodluck, to “keep the Market
House windows and leads in repair” at £4 p.a.
(BAM 22 Apr 1774), and
then the year before his death, a notice was issued to Thomas Gilkes and three
others, forbidding them to erect stalls in any
street on market days – a very unusual
measure, suggesting they might have been persistent offenders (BAM 7 Jun 1786).
The notices cost 6d to
print (ACA).
This might suggest that
Thomas had fallen on hard times, but if the trade was a hazardous one, it was
also lucrative. Thomas’ eldest son, Richard,
inherited his father’s
trade, and was named as the owner of a house, implying a building of some
stature, in Lombard Street in the 1797 Land Tax
records (D/EP7 166).
Richard also featured in the British Trade Directory of 1796, when he was
distinguished (as was John Shury) as a Freeman.
There’s a certain
poignancy in the appointment of Richard as Roger Covington’s successor as
Bellman after his death that same month (BAM 21 Sep
1798). Or perhaps a bond had developed. The
two men no doubt felt a joint responsibility for Ann, Giles’ widow, as older
brother and father-in-law
respectively.
Interestingly, a Thomas
Gilkes was one of the jurors at the trial of Shury and Castle. By necessity,
this Gilkes must have lived in Oxfordshire, so
perhaps he was from the
Wallingford branch of the family. Whatever, there would appear to have been a
vested interest!
Ann had lost both her
parents before her 19th birthday (Ann w. of Thomas b. 23 Nov 1786; Thomas b. 10
Apr 1787 – both StH), and it was her
brother, Richard, who
gave her away at her wedding to Giles Covington in 1789. She had acquired
enough education to sign her name on the
wedding certificate, but
seems not to have been quite sane. Why else would Covington, in his death-cell
letter to Christopher Willoughby, express
