The Promptuarium Armorum has been fully described by the late Walter Kendall Watkins in an article which appeared in the Boston Globe of 7 February 1915. The author was an officer of the College of Arms: William Crowne, Rouge Dragon, and the period of production lies between the years 1 602 and 1616. Crowne came to America and must have brought the book with him, for Mr. Watkins has traced its probable ownership through a number of Boston painters until it is found in the hands of the Gore family. That it served as a source-book for the Gore Roll is clear and it would have been gratifying to have been able to examine it with this in mind j but the condition of the manu- script is now so fragile, the ink having in many places eaten completely through the paper, that the present owner is unwilling to have it subjected to further handling.

As a parishioner who has seen Fr Laurence grow and prosper in faith towards his ordination, I feel humbled that he has put his lifelong service for us, the laity of the diocese. It was a magnificent day when he was ordained, since we saw his family there to celebrate his great day. In the book clebrating his ordination at the Mass he paid tribute to his parents Colin and Corina and all those who had helped including Canon Peter Collins, Fr Robert James, Patrick Smalley, Jeffrey Howard, Jakub Jozko and others who had worked behind the scenes for his great day. He also paid tribute to fellow seminarians at Allen Hall, including Fr Roger Taylor and all the staff there. He now goes to All Saints in Newport as priest and I look forward to seeing him say Mass there. As a grandfather of three boys, aged 7, 6 and three months. I really appreciated his tribute to his sister Steph and his nieces Ivy and Emma as he said “For all the joy they bring.” As he continued “She has shown me how praiseworthy the vocation of parenting is.” I am proud of being a parent and a grandparent. I am also proud and grateful that we have a lovely new priest In Father Laurence.

  • UK University Straplines & Slogans
    UK University Straplines & Slogans The Knowledge Partnership www.theknowledgepartnership.com David Roberts [email protected] April 2017 © 2017 The Knowledge Partnership 1 1 The Search for Differentiation In the competitive market that is higher education the use of straplines and slogans on websites, prospectuses, advertising and more formally (I.e. integrated into brand identity schemes), have become commonplace. The use of Mottos, often in Latin, and often a formal component of a heraldic device is centuries old, and is still deployed as a means of projecting historical roots and academic gravitas. However here we are more focussed on the efforts of the communications department in grabbing attention above the noise of HE market, to encapsulate either the personality or some benefit of their institution. We do not claim this as a deep and meaningful piece of research, but more a reference resource for those tempted into the realm of slogan making. If branding is in part a process designed to create differentiation or more often, to amplify difference, the first criterion for a good slogan or strapline is that it is unique. Below we have catalogued all those in use by UK universities and some other HE providers in March 2017. If you spot any others or change yours we would be grateful if you could email us. This resource is part of the development of a higher education market research repository hosted on our website at www.theknowledgepartnership.com. Here we will post some our “free to air” reports, all in the spirit of open access publishing. This report answers three questions: 1.
