  • Late Anglo-Saxon Finds from the Site of St Edmund's Abbey R. Gem, L. Keen

    Late Anglo-Saxon Finds from the Site of St Edmund's Abbey R. Gem, L. Keen

    LATE ANGLO-SAXON FINDS FROM THE SITE OF ST EDMUND'S ABBEY by RICHARD GEM, M.A., PH.D., F.S.A. AND LAURENCE KEEN, M.PHIL., F.S.A., F.R.HIST.S. DURING SITE CLEARANCE of the eastern parts of the church of St Edmund's Abbey by the then Ministry of Works, followingtheir acceptance of the site into guardianship in 1955, two groups of important Anglo-Saxon material were found, but have remained unpublished until now. These comprise a series of fragments of moulded stone baluster shafts and a number of polychrome relief tiles. These are illustrated' and discussed here; it is concluded that the baluster shafts belong to around the second quarter of the 11th century or shortly thereafter; and that the tiles belong to the same period or, possibly, to the 10th century. HISTORY OF THE BUILDINGS OF ME LATE ANGLO-SAXON ABBEY The Tenth-Centwy Minster Whatever weight may be attached to the tradition that a minster was found at Boedericeswirdein the 7th century by King Sigberct, there can be little doubt that the ecclesiastical establishment there only rose to importance in the 10th century as a direct result of the translation to the royal vill of the relics of King Edmund (ob. 870);2this translation is recorded as having taken place in the reign of King Aethelstan (924 —39).3 Abbo of Fleury, writing in the late 10th century, saysthat the people of the place constructed a 'very large church of wonderful wooden plankwork' (permaxima miro ligneo tabulatu ecclesia) in which the relics were enshrined.' Nothing further is known about this building apart from this one tantalising reference.

Pevensey Levels Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper,1 Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention,3 we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas North (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

    Winter 2020/21 Newsletter

    East Sussex Hearing Winter 2020/21 Newsletter SEASONS GREETINGS! Our lovely new Eastbourne Centre! As winter approaches we are hopeful that the New Year will bring good news for everyone… turn over to find out more about our hopes and plans for 2021 Registered Charity No: 1101140 Hello from your CEO David Rowan Well, what an eventful year it has been. It started off like most New Year’s do, very quiet. Then, in mid-February we started to hear of cases of a new virus in China that was initially thought to be localised and similar to the SARS virus of 2003. It quickly became apparent that this was a completely different virus and far more infectious. Within a matter of weeks, the virus had spread beyond China and we ultimately ended up with the Coronavirus pandemic that has gone on to effect most, if not all countries in the world. We then went into our first 12-week lockdown and our Centre had to close its doors to the public for the very first time. All our outreach activities were cancelled including lipreading and sign language classes, support groups and our hearing aid maintenance service. However, a skeleton staff continued to work from the office providing vital support and information to clients by telephone, text and email. We also started our new “hearing aid batteries by post” service which we have continued to provide ever since, and will carry on doing until a more ‘normal’ life returns. However, this year has not been all doom and gloom. It was towards the end of the first lockdown that we realised we wouldn’t be able to resume our classes and equipment demonstrations from St Leonards Road because of the new covid distancing requirements and so we took the 2 plunge and moved into new, bright, comfortable and spacious premises in Chantry House, just a short walk from St Leonards Road.

  • Black British History Tudors & Stuarts Ad 1485 - 1714

    Black British History Tudors & Stuarts Ad 1485 - 1714

    A TIMELINE OF BLACK BRITISH HISTORY TUDORS & STUARTS AD 1485 - 1714 The Tudor and Stuart periods saw monumental change in the relationship between Europe and their continental neighbours. As the period begins, we see evidence of integrated societies at different levels of local and national life. By the close, Britain is embarked on a frenzied mission to extend their colonial reach and primed to step into an industrial revolution, powered by the outrageous wealth accumulation made possible by the triangular slave trade. THE COURT OF JAMES IV AD 1488 - 1513 King James IV Scotland had numerous qualities and successes; he united the highlands and lowlands; he created a Scottish navy; and maintained alliances with France and England. It is clear that he was also something of a forerunner in regards multi-culturalism. Records show that many black people were present at the court of James IV – servants yes but also invited guests and musicians. Much of what we know comes from the royal treasurers accounts which show that James’ purse paid wages and gifts to numerous ‘moors’. African drummers and choreographers were paid to perform, to have instruments repainted, or bought horses to accompany James on tour. The records also show black women present being gifted clothing, fabric and large sums of money. CATALINA & CATALINA AD 1501 In 1501 ‘la infant’ Catalina, daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain, arrived in Plymouth to begin a new life in England. She came from one royal household and was travelling in preparation to be married into another, the fledgling Tudor dynasty. She was promised to Arthur, heir to the English throne.

    World War One: the Deaths of Those Associated with Battle and District

    WORLD WAR ONE: THE DEATHS OF THOSE ASSOCIATED WITH BATTLE AND DISTRICT This article cannot be more than a simple series of statements, and sometimes speculations, about each member of the forces listed. The Society would very much appreciate having more information, including photographs, particularly from their families. CONTENTS Page Introduction 1 The western front 3 1914 3 1915 8 1916 15 1917 38 1918 59 Post-Armistice 82 Gallipoli and Greece 83 Mesopotamia and the Middle East 85 India 88 Africa 88 At sea 89 In the air 94 Home or unknown theatre 95 Unknown as to identity and place 100 Sources and methodology 101 Appendix: numbers by month and theatre 102 Index 104 INTRODUCTION This article gives as much relevant information as can be found on each man (and one woman) who died in service in the First World War. To go into detail on the various campaigns that led to the deaths would extend an article into a history of the war, and this is avoided here. Here we attempt to identify and to locate the 407 people who died, who are known to have been associated in some way with Battle and its nearby parishes: Ashburnham, Bodiam, Brede, Brightling, Catsfield, Dallington, Ewhurst, Mountfield, Netherfield, Ninfield, Penhurst, Robertsbridge and Salehurst, Sedlescombe, Westfield and Whatlington. Those who died are listed by date of death within each theatre of war. Due note should be taken of the dates of death particularly in the last ten days of March 1918, where several are notional. Home dates may be based on registration data, which means that the year in 1 question may be earlier than that given.
  • Written Evidence Submitted by East Sussex County Council [ASC 021]

    Written Evidence Submitted by East Sussex County Council [ASC 021]

    Written evidence submitted by East Sussex County Council [ASC 021] • How has Covid-19 changed the landscape for long-term funding reform of the adult social care sector? The challenges facing the adult social care market prior to the pandemic are well documented and, in many cases, have been brought into sharp focus over the last 12 months. Local Authority published rates; contract arrangements (e.g. block arrangements); commissioning approaches (e.g. strategic partners) and CCG funding agreements including Better Care Fund allocations are all key funding reform considerations which sit alongside the necessity to offer choice, personalised care and high quality, safe services. Residential and nursing care There are 306 registered care homes in East Sussex – the majority are small independently run homes, which don’t have the wrap-around organisational infrastructure enjoyed by larger / national providers. In East Sussex, Local Authority placements are made across around one-third of the residential and nursing care market. At the peak of the second wave over 100 care homes in East Sussex were closed to admissions due to Covid outbreaks. Week commencing 04/01/21 there were 853 confirmed cases of Covid19 in East Sussex care home settings. During 2021, as of the week ending 19/03/2021, East Sussex has had 2,404 deaths registered in total and 1,110 of these have been attributable to COVID-19, of which 597 have occurred in hospital and 436 have occurred in care homes (LG reform data). In the two years up to April 2019, there were 26 residential and nursing home closures in East Sussex resulting in a loss of 435 beds, across all care groups.
  • Roads in the Battle District: an Introduction and an Essay On

    Roads in the Battle District: an Introduction and an Essay On

    ROADS IN THE BATTLE DISTRICT: AN INTRODUCTION AND AN ESSAY ON TURNPIKES In historic times travel outside one’s own parish was difficult, and yet people did so, moving from place to place in search of work or after marriage. They did so on foot, on horseback or in vehicles drawn by horses, or by water. In some areas, such as almost all of the Battle district, water transport was unavailable. This remained the position until the coming of the railways, which were developed from about 1800, at first very cautiously and in very few districts and then, after proof that steam traction worked well, at an increasing pace. A railway reached the Battle area at the beginning of 1852. Steam and the horse ruled the road shortly before the First World War, when petrol vehicles began to appear; from then on the story was one of increasing road use. In so far as a road differed from a mere track, the first roads were built by the Roman occupiers after 55 AD. In the first place roads were needed for military purposes, to ensure that Roman dominance was unchallenged (as it sometimes was); commercial traffic naturally used them too. A road connected Beauport with Brede bridge and ran further north and east from there, and there may have been a road from Beauport to Pevensey by way of Boreham Street. A Roman road ran from Ore to Westfield and on to Sedlescombe, going north past Cripps Corner. There must have been more. BEFORE THE TURNPIKE It appears that little was done to improve roads for many centuries after the Romans left.
