  • Country Iioijs1 of Greater Mancheste
    COUNTRY IIOIJS1 OF GREATER MANCHESTE * P .•» I COUNTRY HOUSES OF GREATER MANCHESTER EDITORS :J.S.F. WALKER & A.S.TINDALL (;itiL\n<it MANCHESTER ARCHAEOLOGICAL UNIT 1985 osi CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT The country house is part of the diverse and rich heritage of Greater Manchester. This volume follows the development of the country house from the Middle Ages to the present day, using a combination of .archaeological excavation, documentary research and survey to present a coherent study of a building type which reflects the social and economic development of the community in a singularly direct way. By their survival they .demonstrate the entrepreneurial skills of the owner and the abilities of those artisans who built and maintained them. The form and function of the country house change over the centuries, and the fabric of individual buildings mirrors these changes and encapsulates much of the history of the time. Many of our country houses are in good hands, well maintained and with a secure future. Many others described in this volume are already lost, and even the land upon which they stood has been so disturbed as to allow no further site investigation. Their loss, in many cases, was inevitable but I hope that this publication will create an awareness that others, too valuable to be allowed to disappear, are at risk. The protection and refurbishment of old buildings is costly, but I am confident that present conservation policies, allied with improving public and private attitudes towards preservation, have created a strong body of opinion in favour of the constructive re-use of the best of those which survive.

  • AUGUST 2020 Stay Safe
    AUGUST 2020 St Mary's Church is the oldest parish church in Stockport. It stands in Churchgate overlooking the market place. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building. Cover photo courtesy of David Pechey Stay Safe - Stay in Touch Photo-montage courtesy of Bramhall U3A Photography Group August was named in honour of the Roman Emperor, Caesar Augustus (27BC to AD14). After Julius Caesar’s grandnephew Augustus defeated Marc Antony and Cleopatra, and became emperor of Rome, the Roman Senate decided that he too should have a month named after him. The month Sextillus (sex = six) was chosen. Not only did the Senate name a month after Augustus, but it decided that since Julius Caesar’s month, July, had 31 days, Augustus's month should equal it, as under the Roman, or Julian calendar, the months alternated evenly between 30 and 31 days (with the exception of February), which made August 30 days long. So, instead of August having a mere 30 days, it was lengthened to 31, preventing anyone from claiming that Emperor Augustus was saddled with an inferior month.

    THE ALKAN SOCIETY President: RONALD SMITH Secretary: PETER J. GROVE 21 Heronswood, SALISBURY, Wiltshire SP28DH Tel/fax +44-[0]-1722-325771 BULLETIN NO.56: NOVEMBER 1999 I begin too often with an apology for the long delay of our Bulletin. There was a shortage of news at the beginning of the year, and since the summer there has been a shortage of time and efficiency. As my French counterpart has reminded me in no uncertain terms, our Bulletins are our only contact with most of our members. Please be assured that the Society is still running; our bank account is well in the black; and we can look forward to some exciting events in the year 2000. I must thank all the members who kept the faith by sending subscriptions or donations during this fallow year. Your contributions have all been recorded, and if you wish I will carry them over for 2000. If, in the usual rush to fill envelopes once the bulletin is printed and ready for dispatch, I enclose a form for subscriptions or donations which you feel is unnecessary, then please be assured that I will keep your name on the mailing list. As you will read later, we can certainly use some new funds, so any donations or subscriptions for 2000 will be welcomed and acknowledged. I intend to issue a receipt or membership card for the coming year, with each paid-up member allocated a reference number. This will enable you to obtain discounts on some products such as the new CDs of the chamber music and the CD from Symposium Records containing Nicholas King's organ recital.
