  • The Canterbury Association

    The Canterbury Association

    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry.

    “It Was the Heart of the Town”: Two Public Monuments, Cultural Memory and Oral Histories in Walkden and Hastings

    “It was the heart of the town”: two public monuments, cultural memory and oral histories in Walkden and Hastings Anthony McIntosh PhD January 2014 The University of Brighton Abstract The importance of the historic built environment to local communities and its ability to foster a sense of place is an issue at the heart of current heritage impact research. This thesis is primarily concerned with how public monuments, as a focus for the localisation of memories and narratives, can contribute to the development of social capital, sense of place, and a sense of community identity. As case studies, the thesis uses two large public monuments significant to the cultural heritage and development of two towns: the Countess of Ellesmere Memorial, Walkden, Greater Manchester, and the Prince Albert Memorial Clock Tower, Hastings, East Sussex. The two monuments were erected on particular sites significant to the history of the towns, sites chosen for their resonance with the development and growth of the local communities. The location of both monuments has been the cause of much controversy and public debate for over a century and their position as objects of local heritage is perhaps as important now as when they were unveiled. As its primary source of data the research study uses oral history interviews in order to analyse how the two monuments are remembered and experienced through accounts of public ceremonials, festivities, and rituals, through specific social norms that have originated in local culture and tradition, and, through the routine activities of everyday life. The analysis of the oral history interviews demonstrates how, through the shaping of kinship and personal narratives, these two public monuments provided a spatial and temporal location for the development of public memory and an associated development of social capital and sense of place.

    Willey Registers

    The Register of Willey Willey Registers. WILLEY is a delightfully situated parish, four miles east from Much Wenlock and six miles north-west from Bridgnorth. It is in the franchise and rural-deanery of Wenlock, archdeaconry of Ludlow, and diocese of Hereford. Its area is 1,397 acres. The population in 1801 was 163 in 1831, 159; in 1851, 144; and in 1911, 154. Willey Park is the magnificent seat of the Right Hon. Lord Forester, who is the lord of the manor and patron of the rectory. The hail is a spacious and handsome mansion of freestone, in the classic style, situated in an extensive and richly wooded park of about 150 acres, which contains several fine pools. The gardens and pleasure grounds are laid out with much taste, and the house is approached by two avenues of trees of great variety and beauty. The principal front of the residence, with its massive portico, is greatly admired for its superb workmanship and architectural effect. The Saxon name was Wililey or Wilileg, the meaning being “the willow lea,” from the Anglo- Saxon welig or wilig, a willow, and leah, ley, pasture. In Domesday Book it is termed Wilit, which Mr. Eyton thinks was probably some scribe’s inaccuracy. At the Domesday Survey it was held of Earl Roger de Montgomery by Turold de Verley, a Norman or an Angevin, who held thirteen manors in Shropshire under the Norman Earl. These were Longford, Chetwynd, Pilson, Sambrook, Howle, Lawley, Bearstone, Little Drayton, Moreton Corbet, Preston Brockhurst, Willey, Pitchford, and Wigwig. The following is the Domesday account of Willey :— “IN ELNOELSTRUI HUNDRED.

Photochrom Co., Ld., Photo. The Cathedral Church Of Hereford A Description Of Its Fabric And A Brief History Of The Episco- pal See By A. Hugh Fisher London George Bell and Sons 1898 [iv] GENERAL PREFACE. This series of monographs has been planned to supply visitors to the great English Cathedrals with accurate and well illustrated guide-books at a popular price. The aim of each writer has been to produce a work compiled with sufficient knowledge and scholarship to be of value to the student of Archæology and History, and yet not too technical in language for the use of an ordinary visitor or tourist. To specify all the authorities which have been made use of in each case would be difficult and tedious in this place.
