  • Roman Britain
    Roman Britain Hadrian s Wall - History Vallum Hadriani - Historia “ Having completely transformed the soldiers, in royal fashion, he made for Britain, where he set right many things and - the rst to do so - drew a wall along a length of eighty miles to separate barbarians and Romans. (The Augustan History, Hadrian 11.1)” Although we have much epigraphic evidence from the Wall itself, the sole classical literary reference for Hadrian having built the Wall is the passage above, wrien by Aelius Spartianus towards the end of the 3rd century AD. The original concept of a continuous barrier across the Tyne-Solway isthmus, was devised by emperor Hadrian during his visit to Britain in 122AD. His visit had been prompted by the threat of renewed unrest with the Brigantes tribe of northern Britain, and the need was seen to separate this war-like race from the lowland tribes of Scotland, with whom they had allied against Rome during recent troubles. Components of The Wall Hadrian s Wall was a composite military barrier which, in its nal form, comprised six separate elements; 1. A stone wall fronted by a V-shaped ditch. 2. A number of purpose-built stone garrison forti cations; Forts, Milecastles and Turrets. 3. A large earthwork and ditch, built parallel with and to the south of the Wall, known as the Vallum. 4. A metalled road linking the garrison forts, the Roman Military Way . 5. A number of outpost forts built to the north of the Wall and linked to it by road. 6. A series of forts and lookout towers along the Cumbrian coast, the Western Sea Defences .

Working as a PCC The Vicar had previously circulated a paper by Rt.Revd Mark Tanner entitled ‘How to run a perfect PCC’. This provided the basis for discussion about the format for PCC meetings. The role and responsibilities of the PCC was explained for new members. It was agreed the meeting should remain primarily a business meeting with a focus on the MAP groups perhaps in more detail every other month. The opening prayer provides the opportunity to think about ‘Keeping God at the centre of the meeting’ The Standing Committee will link in to the Agenda Setting for PCC meetings. The Vicar will liaise with Haydon Bridge to establish dates for future meetings. The second Thursday of the month was suggested. The idea of joint meetings with Haydon Bridge was raised as there are some issues in common.
