Pidgeon Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 15 December 2011 ii iii ABSTRACT Who were the Wydeviles? The family arrived with the Conqueror in 1066. As followers in the Conqueror’s army the Wydeviles rose through service with the Mowbray family. If we accept the definition given by Crouch and Turner for a brief period of time the Wydeviles qualified as barons in the twelfth century. This position was not maintained. By the thirteenth century the family had split into two distinct branches. The senior line settled in Yorkshire while the junior branch settled in Northamptonshire. The junior branch of the family gradually rose to prominence in the county through service as escheator, sheriff and knight of the shire.

    Places in Leicester Associated with Wartime

    Places in Leicester associated with wartime Start location: Town Hall Square, Horsefair Street, Leicester, LE1 9BG Time taken: 60 minutes (approximately)* Distance: 2 miles 3.2 km Circular route Allow additional time for information stops. Description: This walk jumps between different periods of history to take in some city-centre locations associated with Leicester’s wartime past, including the English Civil War, Boer War and the World Wars. Data CC-By-SA by OpenStreetMap www.openstreetmap.org/copyright Created in QGIS-CC-0 Main route Alternative route Stage / waypoint A Point of interest *Time is calculated at a steady pace of 2mph, if walked without stopping. Allow extra time to look at points of interest and read the information. This route was developed by staff and volunteers for Leicester City Council: www.choosehowyoumove.co.uk/walks Walk starts: From Town Hall Square, Horsefair Street, Leicester, LE1 9BG Safety tips: Take care crossing roads, use pedestrian crossings where present. There are some uneven sections, including the cobbles in Castle View. Watch for cyclists throughout the city centre, including pedestrianised spaces, pavements and cycle lanes. Remember to observe the guidance on social distancing. Route directions: 1. Take a moment in Town Hall Square to reflect on its wartime associations. (A) Town Hall Square When the First World War (1914-1918) broke out, the part-time soldiers of the Leicestershire Regiment Territorial Force and the Leicestershire Yeomanry were mobilised. However, many more men were needed. The Town Hall was used as a recruitment centre to enlist soldiers. Recruitment parades were organised and public meetings well attended.

According to a narrative concerning the early years of Holy Trinity priory in Aldgate, London, known only from fifteenth-century manuscripts, Bernard prior of Dunstaple, John prior of Launde (Landa), Geoffrey de Clinton, the (king’s) chamberlain (Gaufridus camerarius de Clinton), and others named, witnessed the gift of the Cnihtengild in London to Holy Trinity in that year. It is unsurprising that the priors of two recently founded Augustinian houses should witness a gift to Holy Trinity, thought to be the first Augustinian house in England. Their names were presumably taken from a contemporary deed or other record which has not been preserved (Hodgett, Cartulary of Holy Trinity, 168, no. 871; R. R. Sharpe, Calendar of Letter Books, C, 220). The king’s confirmation of the gift, 000, Regesta 1467, also witnessed by Geoffrey de Clinton, is apparently authentic and datable 1123 × 1127, so the narrative’s date of 1125 may well be accurate. Launde priory was founded at Loddington, ‘in cuius territorio abbatia fundata est’, according to Henry II’s general confirmation of 1155 × 1158 (H2/1456).

    The Bretons and Normans of England 1066-1154: the Family, the Fief and the Feudal Monarchy*

    © K.S.B. Keats-Rohan 1991. Published Nottingham Mediaeval Studies 36 (1992), 42-78 The Bretons and Normans of England 1066-1154: the family, the fief and the feudal monarchy* In memoriam R.H.C.Davis 1. The Problem (i) the non-Norman Conquest Of all the available studies of the Norman Conquest none has been more than tangentially concerned with the fact, acknowledged by all, that the regional origin of those who participated in or benefited from that conquest was not exclusively Norman. The non-Norman element has generally been regarded as too small to warrant more than isolated comment. No more than a handful of Angevins and Poitevins remained to hold land in England from the new English king; only slightly greater was the number of Flemish mercenaries, while the presence of Germans and Danes can be counted in ones and twos. More striking is the existence of the fief of the count of Boulogne in eastern England. But it is the size of the Breton contingent that is generally agreed to be the most significant. Stenton devoted several illuminating pages of his English Feudalism to the Bretons, suggesting for them an importance which he was uncertain how to define.1 To be sure, isolated studies of these minority groups have appeared, such as that of George Beech on the Poitevins, or those of J.H.Round and more recently Michael Jones on the Bretons.2 But, invaluable as such studies undoubtedly are, they tend to achieve no more for their subjects than the status of feudal curiosities, because they detach their subjects from the wider question of just what was the nature of the post-1066 ruling class of which they formed an integral part.

Leicester North Station is the southernmost station. It is on the route of the original railway that linked Manchester, Sheffield, Nottingham and Leicester with London Marylebone. It was originally called Belgrave and Birstall Station.

Up until about the middle of the 1800's those who died in urban areas such as Belgrave were buried in urban churchyards and had been for about 850 years since the Norman Conquest.

    The Leicestershire Law Society 1860 to 2017

    The Leicestershire Law Society 1860 to 2017 Law The Leicestershire Professor David Hughes intended when young to pursue a career in the Law, and to that The Leicestershire end he undertook his undergraduate studies at the University of Liverpool between 1964 and 1967. Vacation placements with solicitors in his home town of Dudley, however, convinced him that, not having the ability to suffer fools gladly, he was not suited to be a practitioner, and on the advice of his family solicitor he pursued further academic study at Law Society Emmanuel College, Cambridge as a postgraduate student. (His wife, herself a solicitor of over thirty years standing and a former President of the Leicestershire Law Society concurs that his decision not to practise was the correct one--” He would have been awful with 1860 to 2017 clients, and would have shouted at anyone who did not follow his advice!”) In 1969 he was appointed to a lectureship in the then very new Law Department of Leicester A local portrait University, and went on there to develop research interests in the Law relating to Housing, Town and Country Planning and the Environment. He authored many books,including the first textbook on Environmental Law, and other monographs on issues as diverse as complaints procedures for housing organisations, and the inability of the Law to control the seemingly inexorable rise of the giant supermarket chains. He also collaborated in interdisciplinary studies with colleagues in the areas of housing, planning and atmospheric pollution. For many years a consultant to the erstwhile National Housing and Town Planning Council, he became involved with drawing up the first set of national standards for the operation of owner occupied retirement housing in the 1980’s, working there with the National Housebuilders’ Federation, and later worked on standards for the operation of waste disposal sites with the former Department of the Environment.
