II )2 < 7-'/ < INTRODUCTION. ^/^Sn i Chronology, so in Genealogy there are certain landmarks. Thus,n i France, to trace back to Charlemagne is the desideratum ; in England, to the Norman Con quest; and in the New England States, to the Puri tans, or first settlement of the country. The origin of but few nations or individuals can be precisely traced or ascertained. " The lapse of ages is inces santly thickening the veil which is spread over remote objects and events. The light becomes fainter as we proceed, the objects more obscure and uncertain, until Time at length spreads her sable mantle over them, and we behold them no more." Its i stated, among the librarians and officers of historical institutions in the Eastern States, that not two per cent of the inquirers succeed in establishing the connection between their ancestors here and the family abroad. Most of the emigrants 2 I NTROD UCTION. fled f rom religious persecution, and, instead of pro mulgating their derivation or history, rather sup pressed all knowledge of it, so that their descendants had no direct traditions. On this account it be comes almost necessary to give the descendants separately of each of the original emigrants to this country, with a general account of the family abroad, as far as it can be learned from history, without trusting too much to tradition, which however is often the only source of information on these matters.

  • The Materiality of Public Participation: the Case of Community Consultation on Spatial Planning for North Northamptonshire, England Yvonne Rydin and Lucy Natarajan
    The Materiality of Public Participation: the case of community consultation on spatial planning for North Northamptonshire, England Yvonne Rydin and Lucy Natarajan Introduction Within the social sciences, there has been a notable ‘material turn’, particularly within geography, anthropology and sociology, exploring the implications of the materiality of the world for how we live (Miller, 1998) and know (Latour, 1999, 2007). Anderson and Wylie (2009, p. 318) identify three particular clusters of ‘materialising’ activity: the work on material cultures looking at “meaningful practices of use and encounters with objects and environments”; interest in the “varied intertwined” materialities of nature, science and technology; and the materiality associated with “the spatialities of the lived body, practice, touch, emotion, and affect”. Yet the discussion of public participation – one of the most significant issues in urban and planning studies – remains largely divorced from these concerns with the materiality of the world. The work of Nortje Marres (Marres 2011, Marres & Lezaun 2011) is an interesting exception although she focuses on how participation may be understood through technological engagements. Our interest is in considering how the community consultation and engagement activities that take place within current planning processes can be more fully understood through a focus on their materiality. The following analysis, therefore, argues that public participation exercises involve more than just the communicative engagement of social

  • The Royal Hunting Forest
    The Royal Hunting Forest Rockingham Forest was a Royal Hunting Forest – an area of prime hunting land which was reserved for the king and his entourage. The boundaries were determined by the king’s commissioners in a ‘perambulation’ (literally, a walk around) recorded in a document describing natural or man-made features in the landscape which defined the boundary, for example, a ditch, a track, a hedge-line, a stream, or a distance between two landscape features. The earliest known written ‘perambulation’ of Rockingham Forest was recorded in 1286 under Edward I, though the forest area had been established by William I over 200 years before that. The forest stretched from the bridge at Stamford in the north, to the bridge at Northampton in the south – a distance of 33 miles - and from the River Nene in the east to the River Welland and the Maidwell stream on the north-west – an average breadth of 7½ miles. The shape and size of the forest changed with later perambulations, the last of which was in 1641. Cliffe Bailiwick Rockingham Forest was divided into three administrative areas known as ‘bailiwicks’ : Rockingham, Brigstock and Cliffe. Cliffe Bailiwick was centred around King’s Cliffe and was separated from the other two bailiwicks by a broad sweep of four villages not included in the forest area – Blatherwycke, Bulwick, Deenethorpe and Benefield. Cliffe Bailiwick was made up of several ‘walks’: Westhay, Morehay, Sulehay and Shortwood. A ‘walk’ was an area that could be covered by one ‘forester’ or gamekeeper. This would have included woods, ridings, enclosed grazing areas for the deer and open fields for cultivation.

The site is currently occupied by the former Montagu School, now known as the Buccleuch Academy. Many of the current buildings will be demolished and a new academy built to the east of the current school site.The Roman town of Kettering lies just to the west of the site. Much of the town has been destroyed by quarrying and modern housing developments and little is known about the form of the town. Ironworking appears to have been a principal part of the economy and there are numerous quarry pits and ironworking sites, some of which lie adjacent to the current development area. The south-western corner of the site has been identified as having potentially national archaeological importance. The town is not thought to extend much further westwards into the remainder of the site.The Cytringan Saxon Charter Boundary lies to the south of the site and may extend into it; the boundary may have been formed by a double ditch and central bank.
