Martineau, who had died the previous year, had published numerous sketches of the recently dead for the Daily News between 1852 and 1863, many of which were collected in Biographical Sketches (1869).1 For Morley, these were “masterpieces in the style of the vignette. Their conciseness, their clearness in fact, their definiteness in judgment, and above all the rightly-graduated impression of the writer’s own personality in the background, make them perfect in their kind.”2 In reviewing Martineau’s work, Morley was himself writing a biographical sketch, a genre that was widespread in periodical literature by the middle of the nineteenth century. Accounts of recently dead editors and contributors ranged from obituaries and memoirs to reviews of books (especially biographies, memoirs, and autobiographies), but many were simply brief sketches of recent or earlier nineteenth century journalistic figures.

  • EHS NL February 2011
    February 2011 Volume 1, Issue 3 Elham in the Snow There has certainly been an excellent opportunity during the beginning and end of 2010 to go out and snap a few pictures of our lovely village in the snow. Therefore the EHS Committee feel that it would be a good time for you to send us your own favourite photographs that you have taken. They need not be from 2010, in fact the older the better, so here are a few to get you thinking. Ideally we would prefer you to email them to us, making them no bigger than 5 MB in size – Thank You. Elham, March 1909 Elham, Dec 2010 Move to formally become the Elham Historical Society The members of the EHS committee cannot believe that twelve months have gone by since they “volunteered ” to help set up the Elham Historical Study and the sight of over 40 prospective members at the first public meeting in May 2010 was very encouraging. Since then we have gone from strength to strength and now have over 80 members, therefore your committee are keen to ensure the ongoing success of the group. From the outset it has always been the aim of the committee to seek to formally become a society and with the upcoming first birthday event in April of this year we feel that the time is right for that move. We have now drafted a constitution and have determined a small number of elected roles so that members can vote for their favoured candidate at the April meeting.

  • Joint Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Council Landscape Guidance August 2015
    Joint Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Council Landscape Guidance August 2015 Joint Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Council Landscape Guidance 2015 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The landscape of Babergh and Mid Suffolk (South and North Suffolk) is acknowledged as being attractive and an important part of why people choose to live and work here. However current pressures for development in the countryside, and the changing agricultural and recreational practices and pressures, are resulting in changes that in some instances have been damaging to the local character and distinctiveness of the landscape. 1.1.1 Some development is necessary within the countryside, in order to promote a sustainable prosperous and vibrant rural economy. However, such development would be counterproductive if it were to harm the quality of the countryside/landscape it is set within and therefore the quality of life benefits, in terms of health and wellbeing that come from a rural landscape in good condition.1 1.1.2 The Council takes the view that there is a need to safeguard the character of both districts countryside by ensuring new development integrates positively with the existing character. Therefore, a Landscape Guidance has been produced to outline the main elements of the existing character and to outline broad principles that all development in the countryside will be required to follow. 1.1.3 Well designed and appropriately located development in the countryside can capture the benefits of sustainable economic development whilst still retaining and enhancing valuable landscape characteristics, which are so important to Babergh and Mid Suffolk. 1.1.4 The protection and enhancement of both districts landscape is essential not only for the intrinsic aesthetic and historic value that supports tourism and the economy for the area but also to maintain the quality of life for the communities that live in the countryside.

  • The Jurats of Maidstone, 1549 -1660
    KENT ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY ON-LINE e-BOOK For the Good of This Town: The Jurats of Maidstone, 1549 -1660 Judy Buckley Photograph of 1640 memorial in All Saints Church by the Author Text 2009 ©Judy Buckley Foreword You shall True Faith bear to our Sovereign Lady, the Queen's Majesty that now is, Her Heirs and Successors, Kings and Queens of this realm. You shall have that regard and respect unto the Mayor that governeth this Town and Parish for the time being as is fit. And the lawful Franchises, Usages and Customs of the same Town and Parish, advance and maintain to the utmost of your power. And the same (as much as in you is) from unlawful grievance and damage shall keep. And as a Freeman of this Town and Parish, you shall bear yourself for the good of this Town, as it is fit and convenient. So help you God. Amen The freeman's oath, anciently administered in Maidstone. (Gilbert, Antiquities, 1865, p.126) This book is about the mayors and other jurats (aldermen) who led Maidstone from the granting of the first Borough Charter by Edward VI in 1549 until the end of the Commonwealth and the Restoration of Charles I in 1660. The period has been chosen to match Chapter III of The History of Maidstone (1995) by Peter Clark and Lynn Murfin. In that chapter they covered all aspects of Maidstone life, but this study will focus on the closely knit group of ninety seven men chosen by the common council - a traditional Tudor oligarchy - who influenced Maidstone during those years.

The churchwardens have secured their churches against the winter weather to keep damage to a minimum. They have now started the dif- ficult and lengthy process of seeking funding to repair their roofs. RTCS is providing some financial support for these churches but the income we have from members’ subscriptions necessarily limits what we are able to do. We are therefore making a special appeal to mem- bers to help these and other round tower churches who lose their lead.

  • REPONSE to LGBCE DRAFT PROPOSALS Mid Suffolk District
    REPONSE TO LGBCE DRAFT PROPOSALS Mid Suffolk District Council is pleased to have this opportunity to respond to the draft recommendations of the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) during this second consultation period. In general, we are content with those draft recommendations however, there are two ward areas in which we would like to propose alternative warding patterns for consideration by the LGBCE. The changes we are proposing in one of those areas do also have minor ‘ripple‐on’ effects into two neighbouring wards. The fact that the counter‐proposals we are now submitting only have a significant effect on three wards out of the twenty six wards proposed in the draft consultation indicates our high level of support for the LGBCE draft proposals. We feel that a good level of electoral equality has been achieved by the LGBCE in these draft proposals whilst reflecting real community interests and identities. For these reasons we feel it is important that we give our observations on all areas and not just comment on those few instances where we would like to see alternative solutions. Western parishes (but referred to as ‘Eastern’ in draft report) We have some reservations about the new two‐member ward of Elmswell & Woolpit. However, we have not been able to devise a workable alternative which does not have extensive and unwelcomed repercussions elsewhere. At our Full Council meeting a number of Members raised concern about the Haughley & Wetherden ward. The concern relates to area in the south of the Haughley ward which fall within Stowmarket Town boundaries.
