In October 1544 he gave Johanne “ii kyne, one called misse, the In the hole, Go on Stan! old chap! A Hedge other called youthe”, whereas Annes was to have two red-coloured cows “one called Monster! fylpale & the other called pet”. Even an oxe was named in Joan Holborowe’s will of May 1571: her son Christopher was bequeathed “one oxe called whytthorne” and her son Henry was given “a cowe called gentle”. Towards the end of the century, in April 1596, John White wished his son Edward to have what we assume was a pale-brownish coloured animal “my fallowe cowe called cheerie” and his daughter Margaret “three kine that is to say by name, Burnett, Starlet & Nutte”. He failed to name his “blacke heifer of two yeres olde” or his “baye mare” - both bequeathed to Edward. [NB not only was spelling irregular, but also the use of capital letters.

Jimmy's Hall Cert 12A Running time: 109 mins In 1921 Jimmy Gralton's sin was to build a dance hall on a rural crossroads in Ireland where young people could come to learn, to argue, to dream... but above all to dance and have fun. Jimmy's Hall celebrates the spirit of these free thinkers. The film is set in 1932 and follows events when Jimmy returned from a decade in New York and re-opened the hall. The film is freely inspired by Jimmy's life and turbulent times. Saturday, 28th June 16:30 Sunday, 29th June 19:30 Tuesday, 1st July 19:30 Wednesday, 2nd July 20:30 Thursday, 3rd July 19:30 Thursday, 10th July 14:00 Maleficent 2D Cert PG Running time: 97 mins The "Sleeping Beauty" tale is told from the perspective of the villainous Maleficent and looks at the events that hardened her heart and drove her to curse young Princess Aurora. . Saturday, 28th June 14:00 Sunday, 29th June 15:00 Monday, 30th June 20:15 Thursday, 3rd July 14:00 Saturday, 5th July 10:30 15:00 GOS: The Tempest Running time: 169 mins Prospero, Duke of Milan, usurped and exiled by his own brother, holds sway over an enchanted island. He is comforted by his daughter Miranda and served by his spirit Ariel and the deformed slave Caliban. When Prospero raises a storm to wreck this perfidious brother and his confederates on the island, his long contemplated revenge at last seems within reach. Imbued with a spirit of magic and the supernatural, The Tempest is Shakespeare's late great masterpiece of forgiveness, generosity and enlightenment. Jeremy Herrin's previous work for Shakespeare's Globe includes 2011's much loved Much Ado About Nothing. Roger Allam won the Olivier Award for best actor for his role as Falstaff in Henry IV parts 1 & 2 at the Globe in 2010. Friday, 4th July 19:30 Tuesday, 8th July 19:30 Belle Cert 12A Running time: 104 mins Answers to the June quizzes:- BELLE is inspired by the true story of Dido Elizabeth Belle (Gugu Mabatha-Raw), the illegitimate mixed race daughter of a Royal Navy Admiral. Raised by her aristocratic great-uncle Lord Mansfield (Tom Wilkinson) and his wife (Emily Watson), Belleas lineage affords her certain privileges, yet the color of her skin prevents her from fully participating in the traditions of her social standing. Left to wonder if she will ever find love, Belle falls for an idealistic young vicaras son bent on change who, ‘Easy’ ‘Not so Easy’ with her help, shapes Lord Mansfieldas role as Lord Chief Justice to end slavery in England. Saturday, 5th July 19:30 Sunday, 6th July 17:00 Monday, 7th July 20:15 Tuesday, 8th July 17:00 Wednesday, 9th July 20:30 Sunday, 13th July 19:30 Tuesday, 15th July 19:30 Thursday, 17th July 14:00 The Past (2013) Running time: 130 mins Following a four year separation, Ahmad (Ali Mosaffa) returns to Paris from Tehran, upon his estranged French wife Marie (Bérénice Bejo)'s request, in order to finalize their divorce procedure so she can marry her new boyfriend Samir (Tahar Rahim). During his tense brief stay, Ahmad discovers the conflicting nature of Marie's relationship with her teenage daughter Lucie (Pauline Burlet). Ahmad's efforts to improve this relationship soon unveil a secret from their past. Sunday, 6th July 19:30 The Fault in Our Stars Running time: 126 mins Hazel and Gus are two extraordinary teenagers who share an acerbic wit, a disdain for the conventional, and a love that sweeps them - and us - on an unforgettable journey. Their relationship is all the more miraculous, given that they met and fell in love at a cancer support group. THE FAULT IN OUR STARS, based upon the number-one bestselling novel by John Green, explores the funny, thrilling and tragic business of being alive and in love.
