Introduction

Richard Hansford Worth died in November 1950 and this page is a tribute to his contribution to our knowledge of Dartmoor. The following text was written by the current author as the basis for a Wikipedia page see Wikipedia: Richard Hansford Worth. The Wikipedia entry will in time hopefully grow and improve. An archive of articles by R H Worth and his father R N Worth, is being put together below see Worth Archive. Some of this material is perhaps beyond the prehistoric remit of this website but he made such a massive contribution to our knowledge of prehistoric Dartmoor and of Dartmoor more generally that it seems only right to pay tribute here. A word on copyright, no claim to copyright is made on any material here it is all thought to be public domain. We also wish to acknowledge that most of this material would not be available if it hadn't been originally published by the Devonshire Association.

Richard Hansford Worth

Richard Hansford Worth

Richard Hansford Worth (5 November 1868 – 11 November 1950) of Plymouth, Devon was a civil engineer, geologist, archaeologist and writer on Dartmoor. He was the author of numerous papers published by the Devonshire Association some of which became the basis of the book Worth’s Dartmoor published posthumously.

Early life

R. Hansford Worth was the son of Lydia Amelia Davies and the geologist, antiquarian and historian Richard Nicholls Worth. He was educated at Plymouth High School for Boys (later called Plymouth College). After leaving school he joined the engineering staff at Great Western Railway at Paddington. He returned to Plymouth in 1890 and set up in private practise as a civil engineer. In 1907 Worth married Miss Annie E. Kingwell of South Brent.

Worth adopted many of the interests of his father including a passion for geology, archaeology and Dartmoor. He was a founding member of the Marine Biological Society, a member of the Institution of Civil Engineers and the Mineralogical Society, and a fellow of the Geological Society of London.

He joined the Plymouth Institution in 1888 and he shortly afterwards presented his first paper to them on Early Western Railways. The following year he presented one of his first papers on archaeology on Dartmoor, The Moorland Plym, a paper detailing cists that had been discovered along the River Plym. In 1904 he became the President of the Plymouth Institution and he was made an Honorary Member in 1937. For many years he was their Curator of Geology and Petrology.

Dartmoor and the Devonshire Association

Worth followed his father in becoming very active in the Devonshire Association which he joined in 1891. In 1893 Robert Burnard and Sabine Baring-Gould started archaeological excavations at Grimspound. The co-option of Richard Nicholls Worth, R. Hansford Worth and Dr Gray led to the formation of the Dartmoor Exploration Committee of the Devonshire Association.Worth drew the plan of Grimspound in the committee's first report. The committee carried out very numerous excavations of prehistoric round houses during the 1890s up until 1906. Worth became the secretary of the Dartmoor Exploration Committee and played a major role in the work of the committee which disbanded after his death in 1950. The committee was responsible for the restoration of many Dartmoor stone rows and stone circles. The restorations being carried out to protect the ancient monuments from being robbed for stone.

In 1879 Worth's father had been involved in forming the Barrow Committee of the Devonshire Association which published annual reports. After his father's death, Worth picked up and continued these annual reports with his own research. This was also the case with a series of reports started by his father on The Stone Rows of Dartmoor that documented the many stone rows that were being discovered on Dartmoor at the time. In 1906 he started his annual Climate Reports which along with the annual Barrow Reports continued until his death in 1950.

In 1930 Worth became President of the Devonshire Association and in that year he submitted a major paper on The Physical Geography of Dartmoor. In the obituary published by the Devonshire Association in 1951 it was estimated that during his time writing for them he had written on more than forty subjects.

Worth's Dartmoor

Worth had intended to gather his writings on Dartmoor into a book and a number of the articles written for the Transactions of the Devonshire Association were written with the intention of becoming chapters for a book on Dartmoor. He died before being able to complete this task but he left a sum of money and instructions in his will for the publication of such a book with the proceeds of the sales to go to the Devonshire Association. The first version was published privately in 1953 and it was re-published in 1967.

R H Worth Award

Another legacy executed at the wishes of Worth as expressed in his will is the annual R H Worth award established by the Geology Society in 1955. It was to confer recognition of achievements in outreach, public engagement and/or education carried out by an individual or an institution. This award is still made annually.[14]

This is an archive of the public domain written material by Richard Hansford Worth and his father Richard Nicholls Worth.

Many of these articles are from the Transactions and Reports of the Devonshire Association (T.D.A.) of the Devonshire Association.

All of this material should be out of copyright after 1st Jan 2021. Some of these articles formed the basis of the book Worths' Dartmoor which is currently out of print. If you can find a copy it is highly recommended. There is a lot of material here and the best efforts have been made to ensure that there are no issues with copyright going forward and no claims are made by the author of this website to copyright - the aim is to put this material in the public domain where it belongs for the benefit of students and enthusiasts of Dartmoor. Most of the pre-1920 material here was originally taken years ago from the Google scanned Internet Archive of books. These PDFs whilst a fabulous resource are often incomplete especially when it comes to plates and "inserts". The articles from 1900-1920 with the exception of 1912 (the author has not yet been able to get hold of that edition) have been rescanned. The pre-1900 articles will hopefully be rescanned before the end of this year.

The Devonshire Association have been doing a superb job of digitizing Worth's Dartmoor. See Worth's Dartmoor - contents

For photos taken by Worth the Dartmoor Trust has digitised the important collection of photos held by the Torquay Natural History museum, see: Dartmooor Trust: Worth Collection
