Prepared by Michael Steer

The Devonshire Association’s Presidential Address was delivered at its July 1897 Kingsbridge meeting. On that occasion Mr Hine used that opportunity to urge Association members by “protest, appeal, and in every possible way” to use their influence against “the further violation of Nature and the destruction or mutilation of prehistoric remains and ancient buildings in Devon”. The Association’s President for 1897, was in his day, Plymouth’s celebrated ecclesiastical and civil architect. His obituary is available on Brian Moseley’s “Who Was Who in Plymouth History" website (archived copy). A record of his several important architectural triumphs appears in E.W. Godwin: Aesthetic Movement Architect and Designers, p. 362, available through New Google Books. Mr. Hine was a prominent figure, for many years, at the Association’s annual meetings, of which he was an original member, having joined in the year of its foundation, 1862, and was as well, a major contributor to the Transactions. His obituary is also available in GENUKI.  Mr. Hine’s Presidential Address, from a copy of a rare journal can be downloaded from the Internet Archive.
