Spalding Gentlemen's Society
The Spalding Gentlemen's Society (or "The Gentlemen's Club at Spalding"), a learned society of the United Kingdom, was founded in 1710 by Maurice Johnson, (1688–1755), of Ayscoughfee Hall, Spalding, Lincolnshire, England, and is still active.
The Society's museum on Broad Street, Spalding opened in 1911 with additions in 1925 and again in 1960.〔http://www.spalding-gentlemens-society.org/the_museum_building.html〕 The carved panels on the exterior were the work of Jules Tuerlinckx of Malines, a Belgian refugee during the First World War.
==History==
The Spalding Gentlemen’s Society started in 1710 with informal meetings of a few gentlemen at a local coffee house in Spalding called 'Youngers'. Many gentlemen's clubs formed in this way. They talked about local antiquities and discussed the popular London newspaper ''The Tatler''. In 1712 the society was organised in more formal way as a ''Society of Gentlemen, for the supporting of mutual benevolence, and their improvement in the liberal sciences and in polite learning''. Officers were appointed and minutes were kept. Francis Scott, 2nd Duke of Buccleuch (1695–1751), became Patron of the Society in 1732.
Records of the society's functions were issued as ''The Correspondence of the Spalding Gentlemen's Society, 1710-1761'' and ''Minute-Books of The Spalding Gentlemen's Society, 1712-1755''. Later works appear in catalogues as produced by "Spalding Gentleman's Society" in 1892, 1893.
