Duke of Rutland is a title in the Peerage of England, derived from Rutland, a county in the East Midlands of England. Earldoms named after Rutland have been created twice in history, and the ninth earl of the second creation was made a duke in 1703.
A right-handed batsman, Manners made his first-class debut for Hampshire in 1936 against Gloucestershire, scoring 81. He represented Hampshire in four first-class matches during the 1936 season. His next first-class appearance came after the Second World War for the Combined Services against Gloucestershire. During the 1947 County Championship Manners represented Hampshire in a single first-class match against Kent, where he scored 121, his maiden first-class century. In 1948 Manners played his final two first-class matches for Hampshire, against Derbyshire and Essex. In his seven first-class matches for Hampshire he scored 355 runs at a batting average of 32.27 with a high score of 121.
Manners played a further ten first-class matches for the Combined Services, scoring three more centuries, including his highest first-class score of 147 against Gloucestershire in 1948 and 123 against the New Zealanders in 1949. His final first-class match for the Combined Services came against Gloucestershire in the 1953 season. In his twelve first-class matches for the Combined Services, Manners scored 792 runs at an average of 34.43, with three centuries and two half centuries.
John Manners, 3rd Duke of RutlandKGPC (21 October 1696 – 29 May 1779) was an English nobleman, the eldest son of John Manners, 2nd Duke of Rutland and Catherine Russell. Styled Marquess of Granby from 1711, he succeeded to the title in 1721, cutting short a brief career in the House of Commons, where he had represented Rutland as a Whig.
Its greatest length north to south is only 18 miles (29km) and its greatest breadth east to west is 17 miles (27km). It is the smallest historic county in England and the fourth smallest in the UK as a whole. Because of this, the LatinmottoMultum in Parvo or "much in little" was adopted by the county council in 1950. It has the smallest population of any normal unitary authority in mainland England and only the City of London is smaller in terms of area. Among modern ceremonial counties the Isle of Wight, City of London and City of Bristol are smaller in area. The former County of London, in existence 1889 to 1965, also had a smaller area. It is 348th of the 354 districts in population.
The only towns in Rutland are Oakham, the county town, and Uppingham. At the centre of the county is the large artificial reservoir, Rutland Water, which is an important nature reserve serving as an overwintering site for wildfowl and a breeding site for ospreys.
The station, which is located near the former Rutland Railroad yard on the western edge of downtown, opened in 1999. Designed by local firm NBF Architects, the station has walls of red brick that rise from a base of textured gray concrete block. To celebrate Rutland native Jim Jeffords, who represented Vermont in Congress, city leaders renamed the station the “James M. Jeffords Rail Passenger Welcome Center.”
History
Rutland's first railway station was built near Merchants' Row in 1853-54 by the Rutland Railroad. In 1905-06 wings were added to the north and south of the depot. The building served the city of Rutland until passenger service ended in 1953, and two years later it was demolished.
Amtrak service to Rutland commenced on December 2, 1996 with service provided to a temporary station platform.
The place of election for the county was at Oakham. This was where the hustings were held; at which candidates were nominated (before the Ballot Act 1872), polling took place (before the introduction of multiple polling places in county constituencies) and where the result was announced.

The Last Dukes (British Aristocracy Documentary) | Real Stories
On 9th September 2015, Queen Elizabeth II became the longest serving British monarch. One of the most enduring images of her coronation in 1953 is that of Her Majesty surrounded by her dukes.

Only 24 noble dukes now remain and this documentary - with unique access to the dukes of Norfolk, Argyll, Montrose and Marlborough – explores both the fascinating history and function of their great dukedoms in modern day Britain.

第3代ラトランド公爵ジョン・マナーズの紋章 第3代ラトランド公爵ジョン・マナーズ(英語: John Manners, 3rd Duke of Rutland KG PC、1696年10月21日 - 1779年5月29日)は、イギリスの貴族。
1711年から1721年までグランビー侯爵の儀礼称号を使用した。
第2代ラトランド公爵ジョン・マナーズとキャサリン・ラッセルの長男として、1696年10月21日に生まれた。
1719年1月から1721年2月まで、ラトランド選挙区選出の庶民院議員を務めた。
1722年11月13日にガーター勲章を授与され、1727年7月17日に枢密顧問官に任命された。
1721年から死去までレスターシャー統監を、1721年から1727年まで寝室侍従を、1727年から1736年までランカスター公領大臣を、1754年から1761年まで王室家政長官を、1761年から1766年まで主馬頭を務めた。
また、1739年に創設された捨子養育院の初代総裁の1人だった。
米国バーモント州ラトランドは第3代ラトランド公爵に因んで名づけられた。
第3代ラトランド公爵は1742年より美術品を購入しはじめ、以降20年間ロンドンの美術品オークションで絵画を購入し、代理人を通じてほかのオークションで買い入れをしたり、ディーラーを通じて購入したりした。
また、1721年に父である第2代公爵から家族コレクションを継承した。
小さな絵画を好んだため、絵画購入に費やした金額はより高価な大型絵画の収集家より少なかった。
そのため、ジョシュア・レノルズのパトロンである孫第4代ラトランド公爵よりも出費が少なかった。
それでもラファエロ・サンティ、ティツィアーノ・ヴェチェッリオ、ヤコポ・バッサーノ、パオロ・ヴェロネーゼ、グイド・レーニなどヨーロッパにおける主な画家の小型作品を多く購入した。
絵画購入に少なくとも3,210ポンドを費やし、同時期にロンドンのタウンハウス建設の出費である4,432ポンドと比較することができる。
しかし、第3代ラトランド公爵は1758年から1759年にかけて、絵画を200点売却した。
1779年5月29日に死去、長男がすでに死去していたため孫チャールズがラトランド公爵の爵位を継承した。
1717年8月27日、第2代レクシントン男爵ロバート・サットンの娘で相続人のブリジット(1734年6月16日没)と結婚した。
2人は5男6女をもうけたが、うち8人が夭折した。
愛人エリザベス・ドレイク(Elizabeth Drake)との間で庶子2人をもうけた。

Density: 2,147.8/sq mi (829.3/km2)
It began on Otter Creek in the early 19th century as a small hamlet called Mill Village in Rutland, the surrounding town named by Governor Benning Wentworth in 1761 after John Manners, 3rd Duke of Rutland. In the early 19th century, small high-quality marble deposits were discovered in Rutland, and in the 1830s a large deposit of nearly solid marble was found in what is now West Rutland. By the 1840s, small firms had begun excavations, but marble quarries proved profitable only after the railroad arrived in 1851. At the same time, the famous quarries of Carrara in Tuscany, Italy, grew largely unworkable because of their extreme depth, allowing Rutland to become one of the world's leading marble producers.
This fueled enough growth and investment that in 1886 the center of town incorporated as Rutland village. Most of the town was split off as West Rutland and Proctor, which contained the bulk of the marble quarries. Rutland City was incorporated as Vermont's third city on November 18, 1892. The new city's first mayor was John A. Mead, who served only one term in 1893.
In 1894, the nation's first polio outbreak was identified in the Rutland area. 132 people from the Rutland area were affected. Seven died. 110 others suffered some paralysis for life. 55 were from the city itself.
In 1903, a Rutland City ordinance restricting the carrying of firearms led to the Vermont Supreme Court's decision in State v. Rosenthal, thereby establishing protection for the carrying of firearms without permit or license, what has become known as "Vermont Carry". Nonetheless, Rutland had a similar ordinance in place as late as 1998, at which point it was challenged and eventually removed.
The closing of the marble quarries in the area in the 1980s and 1990s led to a loss of jobs in the area.

At the same time, the famous quarries of Carrara in Tuscany, Italy, grew largely unworkable because of their extreme depth, allowing Rutland to become one of the world's leading marble producers.
This fueled enough growth and investment that in 1886 the center of town incorporated as Rutland village. Most of the town was split off as West Rutland and Proctor, which contained the bulk of the marble quarries. Rutland City was incorporated as Vermont's third city on November 18, 1892. The new city's first mayor was John A. Mead, who served only one term in 1893.
In 1894, the nation's first polio outbreak was identified in the Rutland area. 132 people from the Rutland area were affected. Seven died. 110 others suffered some paralysis for life. 55 were from the city itself.
In 1903, a Rutland City ordinance restricting the carrying of firearms led to the Vermont Supreme Court's decision in State v. Rosenthal, thereby establishing protection for the carrying of firearms without permit or license, what has become known as "Vermont Carry". Nonetheless, Rutland had a similar ordinance in place as late as 1998, at which point it was challenged and eventually removed.
The closing of the marble quarries in the area in the 1980s and 1990s led to a loss of jobs in the area.

Emma Manners, Her Grace, the Duchess of Rutland was invited to the National Exhibition Center (NEC) in Birmingham to give a talk on Capability Brown and the Belvoir Castle landscape. But, as she is also about to open a retail village at the foot of Belvoir Castle, she toured the exhibits to get some ideas. This is a 60-second video of the tour made for her Instagram account.
On 9th September 2015, Queen Elizabeth II became the longest serving British monarch. One of the most enduring images of her coronation in 1953 is that of Her Majesty surrounded by her dukes. Their influence once extended beyond the merely ceremonial, they were a crucial part of the architecture that supported the monarchy. Only 24 noble dukes now remain and this documentary - with unique access to the dukes of Norfolk, Argyll, Montrose and Marlborough – explores both the fascinating history and function of their great dukedoms in modern day Britain.
