  • Redbourn, Rothamsted, Harpenden and Redbournbury Mill
    Redbourn, Rothamsted, Harpenden and Redbournbury Mill Start: Redbourn Common Author: Chris & Lynda Abbott Nearest Post Code: AL3 7NG OS Map Ref: TL 102119 Distance: 8 miles (13 km) Ascent 350 feet (108m) Parking: Redbourn Common next to the cricket pavilion. Facing the cricket pavilion, turn right and follow the path, lined with trees, to the end of the common, ignoring the left-hand fork. Cross the road and follow the alleyway to the right of Cumberland House (large red brick building). It leads to the High Street. Turn right and first left down Waterend Lane. Follow this windy lane to the Nicky Line footpath, which runs beside the bypass. Turn left along the footpath and continue to the roundabout, where cross two roads to the continuation of the Nicky Line. Go along the Nicky Line towards Harpenden. After half a mile, continue past Knott Wood, which is on your right. At the corner of Knott Wood (waymark but no signpost) turn right and walk eastwards along its northern edge. When you come to a gate into the wood, turn right into it. Make a circuit of the wood, leave by the same gate and turn right so you continue walking eastwards. There are lots of paths but it is a small wood. You can use a different exit on the northern edge but don’t exit the wood on its eastern edge because that path does not connect to the route. After a quarter mile broad path bends sharp left and right. Further on it makes a sharp left turn just before some buildings.

  • Verulamium—The First Twenty-One Years
    i Verulamium—the first twenty-one years DR. I. ANTHONY, M.A., Ph.D., F.S.A. Director of the Verulamium Museum THE opening of the Verulamium Museum in 1939 was the culmination of almost a decade of inspired planning and tireless excavation both within the Roman settle- ment and in the neighbourhood. The museum was to be the centre for future research work and a source of information for both students and visitors as well as a storehouse for the objects discovered. Though the first six years were hampered by wartime conditions, 148,711 visitors came to the museum. In the last three years the figure has varied between 85 and 89,000, a quarter being schoolchildren. The inspiration which caused the citizens of St. Albans to embark on the venture of laying out one- half of the Roman town as a park for visitors and erecting the museum in the grounds, could not have succeeded without the vigorous work and far-sighted policy of its first Curator, Dr. Corder. He established the administration of the museum, laid out the exhibits, supervised the work of laying out the visible monu- ments, promoted the status of the museum and defined its function through his writings. In this way he extended and crystallised for the general public the results of the excavations carried out by, the then, Dr. Mortimer Wheeler, the late Mrs. T. V. Wheeler, Miss K. M. Richardson, Dr. Kenyon and others. When Dr. Corder left, the same policy was followed by his successor, Mrs. Audrey Williams, who carried out much necessary but unspectacular work in the museum, documenting the reserve material from all the excavations.

    UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER FACULTY OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES The significance of the place-name element *funta in the early middle ages. JILLIAN PATRICIA HAWKINS Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2011 UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER ABSTRACT FACULTY OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The significance of the place-name element *funta in the early middle ages. Jillian Patricia Hawkins The Old English place-name element *funta derives from Late Latin fontāna, “spring”, and is found today in 21 place-names in England. It is one of a small group of such Latin-derived elements, which testify to a strand of linguistic continuity between Roman Britain and early Anglo- Saxon England. *funta has never previously been the subject of this type of detailed study. The continued use of the element indicates that it had a special significance in the interaction, during the fifth and sixth centuries, between speakers of British Latin and speakers of Old English, and this study sets out to assess this significance by examining the composition of each name and the area around each *funta site. Any combined element is always Old English. The distribution of the element is in the central part of the south- east lowland region of England. It does not occur in East Anglia, East Kent, west of Warwickshire or mid-Wiltshire or north of Peterborough. Seven of the places whose names contain the element occur singly, the remaining fourteen appearing to lie in groups. The areas where *funta names occur may also have other pre-English names close by.
