Lucy Massey: a Forgotten Poet
Lucy Massey: A Forgotten Poet ACING the Haymarket in Norwich and sheltered on the north F by the great mass of St. Peter's Mancroft Church, where Sir Thomas Browne's statue now sits, contemplating a funerary urn held in his hand, there was formerly a substantial if somewhat ramshackle house, built probably in the seventeenth century, its first floor project ing a little and having an attic story with gabled dormer windows. Here in 1822 Simon Wilkin had opened his bookshop and set up his printing works. Here, after Simon left in 1834, Josiah Fletcher brought his bride, Sarah Williams, and here were born their three children-Benjamin Edgington, Emma, and Lucy, the youngest, in 1842. The premises must have. been a hive of activity for besides housing the growing family in reasonable comfort, they provided for a considerable business enterprise, which after 1845 included the editing and printing' of the Norfolk News. For the children the location had much to commend it. Apart from all the interest pro vided by being in the heart of the city, two or three minutes' walk took them to the Castle mound round which the girls were wont to run with their hoops before breakfast. Benjamin went to school but the girls had a governess, who, Lucy wrote later, "taught us much of thought and poetry, but not the grounding education she was supposed to be giving".* In due course they learned Latin and the early morn ing hoop runs gave way to reading Virgil with father before he started his day's work. -

Elizabeth Fry, Amelia Opie Two Lives Janet Whitney : Elizabeth Fry, Quaker Heroine
Elizabeth Fry, Amelia Opie Two Lives Janet Whitney : Elizabeth Fry, Quaker Heroine. Harrap. 1937, pp. 328, I2S. 6d. Jacobine Menzies-Wilson and Helen Lloyd : Amelia : the Tale of a Plain Friend. Oxford University Press. 1937, PP- xu- + 299> I2S- t is a curious and to some extent a consoling fact, that this year of 1937, which has been dedicated to re-armament I and punctuated by wars, should see the publication of a standard life of Elizabeth Fry. The welcome that the book has met with is evidence, not only of the skill and sym pathy of the author, nor even of the most noble qualities of its subject ; but of the longing with which our country, haunted by fear of war, can still contemplate the achieve ments of applied Christianity. Janet Whitney has performed the service of breathing life into a great figure, who for nearly one hundred years has survived mainly in blue-books, and has only been recalled to memory for purposes of reference. Two years after her death, the pious task of writing the life of Elizabeth Fry was undertaken by two of her daughters, and the two stout volumes which resulted have shared the fate of the majority of standard works. Apart from the fact that, in common with all her children, they failed to understand their mother or sympathize with her nature, their book was doomed to early oblivion, because, after the accepted manner of Victorian biography it set the claims of propriety above those of veraciousness. Filial piety moreover, was at odds with the virtues of selection, and the volumes overflow with extracts from Elizabeth Fry's Journals, and with hortatory epistles, which can never have possessed any but a sentimental interest. -
Of Pendle Hill Pamphlets 1934 - 2014
Index of Pendle Hill Pamphlets 1934 - 2014 Introduction Many remarkable gifts have come out of the Pendle Hill experience, but few are more remarkable than the series of Pendle Hill Pamphlets, ongoing now for eighty years. Conceived as the published equivalent of messages spoken in a Friends’ meeting for worship, these brief essays reflect the range and vision of unprogrammed Quaker religious thought and practice. Among the authors represented here are a handful of famous names, such as Toynbee, Weil, and Buber. But for the most part the pamphlets are the works of a “cloud of witnesses” distinguished primarily for their spirit and expressiveness. And while there are recurring themes among them (peace, worship, art), the four hundred-plus titles cover almost as many topics. Over the years, many readers have commented on the richness of spiritual resources and information represented in these essays. Many have also asked for help in using them in study, reflection, and research. This index is designed to answer that need. It includes four sections: • Section I is an annotated list of the pamphlets. This list is in numerical order, and the pamphlet number serves as a cross-reference tool throughout the index. Each listing includes title, author, date of publication (in parentheses), a brief summary of the essay, and its subjects. • Section II groups the pamphlets alphabetically by author. • Section III lists the pamphlets alphabetically by title. • Section IV offers a subject index for the pamphlets.

Forgotten Heritage: the Landscape History of the Norwich Suburbs
Forgotten Heritage: the landscape history of the Norwich suburbs A pilot study. Rik Hoggett and Tom Williamson, Landscape Group, School of History, University of East Anglia, Norwich. This project was commissioned by the Norwich Heritage, Economic and Regeneration Trust and supported by the East of England Development Agency 1 Introduction Over recent decades, English Heritage and other government bodies have become increasingly concerned with the cultural and historical importance of the ordinary, ‘everyday’ landscape. There has been a growing awareness that the pattern of fields, roads and settlements is as much a part of our heritage as particular archaeological sites, such as ancient barrows or medieval abbeys. The urban landscape of places like Norwich has also begun to be considered as a whole, rather than as a collection of individual buildings, by planning authorities and others. However, little attention has been afforded in such approaches to the kinds of normal, suburban landscapes in which the majority of the British population actually live, areas which remained as countryside until the end of the nineteenth century but which were then progressively built over. For most people, ‘History’ resides in the countryside, or in our ancient towns and cities, not in the streets of suburbia. The landscape history of these ordinary places deserves more attention. Even relatively recent housing developments have a history – are important social documents. But in addition, these developments were not imposed on a blank slate, but on a rural landscape which was in some respects preserved and fossilised by urbanisation: woods, hedges and trees were often retained in some numbers, and their disposition in many cases influenced the layout of the new roads and boundaries; while earlier buildings from the agricultural landscape usually survived. -

THE BUXTONS OF EASNEYE: AN EVANGELICAL VICTORIAN FAMILY AND THEIR SUCCESSORS BY R E DAVIES 2006 (Revised 2007) CONTENTS PREFACE CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION CHAPTER II: SPITALFIELDS AND LEYTONSTONE CHAPTER III: THE MOVE TO EASNEYE CHAPTER IV: THE MINISTRY OF DOING GOOD CHAPTER V: FAMILY LIFE AT EASNEYE OVER THE FIRST FORTY YEARS CHAPTER VI: THE GREAT WAR CHAPTER VII: BETWEEN THE WARS CHAPTER VIII: THE SECOND WORLD WAR CHAPTER IX: 1945 ONWARDS CHAPTER X: A NEW CHAPTER! APPENDIX 1: OWNERS AND INHABITANTS OF EASNEYE PREFACE I first came to Easneye in 1964, when I had been appointed as the Resident Tutor at All Nations Missionary College, which had just moved there from Taplow, near Maidenhead, Berkshire. I lived with my family in North Lodge, one of the cottages on the Easneye estate, for the next four years, but my connection with All Nations and Easneye has continued up to the present. I worked for thirty-four years full-time and for another seven years part-time, and now my son, who was only eighteen months old back in 1964, is a member of the All Nations faculty. I feel, therefore, that my long connection with the place gives me the interest and ability to look into and record something of the past history of Easneye and its inhabitants. Mr David Morris, the Principal of All Nations when it was at Taplow as well as for several years after the move to Easneye, and whose vision and hard work were vital in making the college what it is today, used to give a very informative and entertaining history of the site, the building, the Buxton family and the college (never dull but sometimes bordering on the over-imaginative!) When he retired, the Rev. -
Joseph John Gurney in America HE Gurney Loan Collection of MSS
Joseph John Gurney in America HE Gurney Loan Collection of MSS. contains about 120 of the Journal Letters written by Joseph John Gurney T during his visit to America in the years 1837 to 1840. These were set up in type and a few copies were privately circulated on his return to England, but the more important details were published for general use in the two volumes, A Winter in the West Indies, described in Familiar Letters addressed to Henry Clay of Kentucky ; London, 1840 ; and A Journey in North America, described in Familiar Letters to Amelia Opie ; Norwich, 1841. Two letters written during this period are here printed. The contemporary copy of a letter from E. Warder, of Springfield, Ohio, describes the impression made by one of J. J. Gurney's family visits. The writer has not been identified, and Joseph J. Gurney does not mention the incident in his letters, but the Ohio Yearly Meeting, and other incidents of his ministry in that district are vividly described in the following letter. ARTHUR J. EDDINGTON. E. WARDER'S LETTER Our dear Father and friends left an hour since and having arranged matters and things I gladly sit down to give my dear Mother an account of the delightful visit we have had whose only defect was her absence—How much would thee have enjoyed the pure, holy, Christian spirit, the humility and unbounded love accompanied by polished manners and fine sense—He is one of the most beautiful exemplifications of the Christian gentleman I have ever seen, and instead of this short stay we wished most earnestly he could have remained a week—how great a priveledge to be enabled to enjoy the society of such, but this we could not do in Philadelphia—there we should only have met him in publick —here he was one of us—We had delayed dinner to a late hour when despairing of seeing them we had commenced and, they arrived—Joseph J. -
