Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod for King Charles .11
The Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, generally shortened to Black Rod, is an official in the parliaments of several Commonwealth countries. The position originates in the House of Lords of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
The office was created in 1350 by royal letter of patent, though the current title dates from 1522. The position was adopted by other members of the Commonwealth when they adopted the British Westminster system. The title is derived from the staff of office, an ebony staff topped with a golden lion, which is the main symbol of the office's authority.
Black Rod is formally appointed by the Crown based on a recruitment search performed by the Clerk of the Parliaments, to whom he reports. Prior to 2002 the office rotated among retired senior officers from the Royal Navy, the British Army and the Royal Air Force. It is now advertised openly. Black Rod is one of six officers of the English Order of the Garter, the noblest and oldest order of chivalry, and is usually appointed knight bachelor if not already knighted. His deputy is the Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod.

He is responsible, as the representative of the Administration and Works Committee, for maintaining the buildings, services, and security of the Palace of Westminster. Black Rod's official duties also include responsibility as the usher and doorkeeper at meetings of the Most Noble Order of the Garter; the personal attendant of the Sovereign in the Lords; as secretary to the Lord Great Chamberlain and as the Sergeant-at-Arms and Keeper of the Doors of the House, in charge of the admission of strangers to the House of Lords. Either Black Rod or his deputy, the Yeoman Usher, is required to be present when the House of Lords, the upper house of Parliament, is in session, and plays a role in the introduction of all new Lords Temporal in the House (but not of bishops as new Lords Spiritual). Black Rod also arrests any Lord guilty of breach of privilege or other Parliamentary offence, such as contempt or disorder, or the disturbance of the House's proceedings. His equivalent for security in the House of Commons is the Sergeant at Arms.
The Black Rod, along with his deputy, is responsible for organizing ceremonial events within the Palace of Westminster, providing leadership in guiding the significant logistics of running such events.
Black Rod is best known for his part in the ceremonies surrounding the State Opening of Parliament and the Throne Speech. He summons the Commons to attend the speech and leads them to the Lords. As part of the ritual, as Black Rod approaches the doors to the chamber of the House of Commons to make his summons, they are slammed in his face. This is to symbolize the Commons' independence of the Sovereign. Black Rod then strikes the door three times with his staff, and is then admitted and issues the summons of the monarch to attend. This ritual is derived from the attempt by King Charles I to arrest the Five Members in 1642, in what was seen as a breach of the constitution. This and prior actions of the King led to the Civil War. After that incident, the House of Commons has maintained its right to question the right of the monarch's representative to enter their chamber, though they cannot bar him from entering with lawful authority.

Ven House Gardens, Melbourne Port HISTORIC LANDSCAPE REGISTER:The Home Park, previously known as the Little Park (and originally Lydecroft Park), is a private 655 acres (265 ha) Royal park, administered by the Crown Estate. It lies on the eastern side of Windsor Castle in the town and former civil parish of Windsor in the English county of Berkshire.
The Home Park is divided from the main Windsor Great Park by the high volume Albert Road (A308) to Old Windsor. It is the private estate of the castle and, as well as beautiful parkland, gardens and avenues of fine trees, contains much farmland (cattle grazing and winter feed), a golf course, a bowling green (for the Royal Household Bowling Club), a cricket field (for the Royal Household Cricket Club), tennis courts, the playing fields of St. George's School, Adelaide Cottage (on the site of the old Keeper's Lodge) and the Frogmore Estate, including Frogmore House and gardens with its large lake, the Royal Mausolea and the Royal Burial Ground. Also attached are Shaw Farm, the Prince Consort's Home Farm and the Windsor Farm Shop. The grave of Dash the favourite spaniel of Queen Victoria can be found on the grounds.
Originally in the manor of Orton and not a Royal possession, part of the area was first emparked (for deer hunting) by King Edward III in 1368 and expansion continued over many centuries. Areas of the Home Park are mentioned in Shakespeare’s Merry Wives of Windsor and show that the main road to Datchet then ran through it. The famous Herne’s Oak stood nearby. Oliver Cromwell trained his New model Army in the Park. George III removed the deer in 1785. The modern boundaries of the Park were set by the Windsor Improvement Act in 1846 when the road to Datchet through the Park was closed and public access denied. Frogmore House and gardens alone are open on a few specific days in the spring and summer. The Royal Windsor Horse Show and the Windsor Rose Show also take place within the Park.
Edward preceded his King in death by two years.
The St Lawrence Church Register declares:
"He was buried with the pomp and splendour that his dignity deserved".
Tradition says that all arrangements had been made to bury him in St. Ouen's Church, but, as the procession was about to start, a terrific thunderstorm frightened the six horses that drew the hearse, and they could not be reined in, till they stopped of their own accord at the gate of Trinity Church. The mourners who had followed this mad stampede took this as a sign that he wished to be buried in his native parish.
The coffin was taken to the Manor, while a new grave was dug beside his family pew, and the funeral was finished by torch-light. No contemporary evidence for the bolting horses can be found, but it is a fact that he was buried in Trinity Church, where the finest mural monument in the island proclaims in Latin that:
“No juster man ever lived on earth or one more loving to a friend.”

Ven, or Fenn, existed as a hamlet in the mid C13 (VCH, 1999). By the C16, the manor belonged to the Care of Currentness family, who sold it to Sir Edward Carteret in 1679. When Sir Edward died c 1683, his son, Sir Charles Carteret first mortgaged the property to Thomas Medlycot and subsequently sold it to Thomas' brother, James Medlycot, the son of a lawyer and politician, and grandson of a City of London dyer (Bond, 1998; VCH, 1999). James Medlycot commissioned Nathaniel Ireson of Wincanton to build a new house at Ven in the early 1720s.

Edward Carteret
Dame Elizabeth's brother has a monument nearby. He was son of Sir Edward and his wife Elizabeth (Johnson). The inscription on his monument reads:

His body lieth under the stone beneath. He dyed the thirtieth day of October MDCLXXVII [1677] aged seaven yeares and nine months."
