It follows research undertaken by John Siblon (2005)1 where teachers identifi ed the need for resources and teaching materials in order to promote this dimension in the curriculum. Each of the key packs has consciously used local experiences to explore wider issues. We hope that by focusing on major themes such as slavery to emancipation, oral testimonies of people from Black communities in Northamptonshire, representations of empire through museum objects, and the experiences of Walter Tull, who was clearly a signifi cant local and national fi gure, that the project provides a range of opportunities to promote diversity within the curriculum. However, selected topics by themselves run the risk of leaving Black History as a bolt-on feature of the curriculum rather than a natural part of children’s learning experiences. The Shaping the Future Project seeks to go some way towards addressing this issue by providing contextual support by the publication of a Black History book, entitled Sharing the Past: Northamptonshire Black History and three mini-teaching resource packs which can be integrated into wider studies and themes within your programme of study. Sharing the Past: Northamptonshire Black History, published in 2008, was written by local historians in the Northamptonshire Black History Association and provides valuable contextual knowledge and understanding for the teachers. The fl avour is demonstrated in this extract from the book’s introduction: Did you know that Northamptonshire was home to a Saracen crossbow-maker in the thirteenth century? Did you know that parish registers record the baptisms and deaths of named Black individuals, from the sixteenth century onwards? Have you ever come across a Black servant’s grave in a country churchyard? Does your knowledge of famous visitors to Northamptonshire include the stories of Susi and Chuma, guides to the African missionary David Livingstone, and of Dadabhai Naoroji, the fi rst Black British Member of Parliament? Supported by the famous “Member for India”, Charles Bradlaugh, Naoroji denounced the suff ering infl icted by imperial rule at Northampton Guildhall in 1888. With hindsight, we can 1 Siblon, J. (2005) Black is also interpret this event as a warning of the future dismantling of the British: An investigation into the needs and opportunities British Empire. It is very unlikely that the appreciative local audience for developing Black History either expected or wished for such an outcome. Northamptonshire within the schools curriculum people played a brave role in various imperialist wars during the in Northamptonshire: A following decades, before fi nally accepting the inevitable. Report commissioned by Northamptonshire Black History NHBA (2008) Sharing the Past: Northamptonshire Black History. Project and University College Northampton. Northampton: Northampton: Northamptonshire Black History Association. Northamptonshire Black History Project and University College Northampton. 3 Northamptonshire in a Global Context This teaching resource explores three different topics covered within Sharing the Past. These mini-teaching packs are intended to provide materials for one or two lessons either as a lead into or as part of a wider general topic. The packs relate to different periods in the past in order to promote the integration of a black dimension in both the recent and distant past as part of out multicultural society and wider world. The three packs include suggested activities and ways in which the exercise can be mainstreamed. We hope that you will build on this, to use other local black history resources in other areas of your programme of study. 1 James Chapple and the Daring Deed.

  • A History of All Saints Church Stradbally, Castleconnell, Co
    A History of All Saints Church Stradbally, Castleconnell, Co. Limerick East Window “The Ascension” www.gloine.ie Early Days The Parish of Castleconnell is located on the picturesque banks of the River Shannon in County Limerick and it is here that there is supposed to have been a small church built as early as the 6th Century. In the 8th Century AD the Vikings began to raid the coasts of Ireland. At first they attacked the monasteries along the coast, but soon they began raiding inland as the ‘superior technology’ of their boats which allowed them to traverse the open seas also allowed them to navigate the rivers of Ireland. Stradbally or Stráid Bháile (the town of one street) was not immune to their quick and efficient escapades where they most probably kidnapped the natives, using them as slaves, and attacked the little church, looting and burning it in their wake. Between 1400 and 1410 a church was erected once again at Stradbally. The first priest was Dermit O’Hanrachayn.1 It is interesting to note that he served only one year in Stradbally Church as he “vacated [the] Vicarage [of] Stradbally (Killaloe) in 1411 by not being ordained priest in a year”. He was followed in 1411 by Donald O’Mulluyn who remained on until c 1436. Part of the walls of this old church can still be seen to the rear of the present All Saints Church. This original building was first used for Church of Ireland worship in 16152 (though it is listed as “vacant” of clergy at this time) However, by 1618 the vicar was one William Jannes who remained on until 1621.

  • Classic Commonwealth: Virginia Architecture from the Colonial Era
    Prepared by Published by Chris Novelli, The Virginia Melina Bezirdjian, Department of Calder Loth, and Historic Resources, Lena Sweeten McDonald Richmond, Virginia 2015 Classic Commonwealth: Virginia Architecture from the Colonial Era to 1940 Introduction The Department of Historic Resources (DHR) is pleased to present Classic Commonwealth: Virginia Architecture from the Colonial Era through 1940. Our new publication is designed to aid professionals, students, and the interested public in identifying and documenting the numerous types and styles of historic buildings in the Commonwealth. The guide first provides an overview of Virginia’s architectural heritage within the context of larger historic trends, from its colonial era settlement and role in the founding of the United States, to the elimination of its slavery-based economy, and on through the economic, technological and cultural innovations of the early twentieth century. We have compiled the architectural styles and forms discussed herein based on terminology used by DHR’s Virginia Cultural Resources Information System (VCRIS) database (public portal available at https://vcris.dhr.virginia.gov/vcris/Mapviewer/), and guidance for using the system is provided as well. The majority of this publication consists of Style and Form information sheets that provide basic information about and character-defining aspects of the many historic architectural styles that have shaped Virginia’s public and private spaces across more than three centuries. Weaving architectural design trends together with larger historic patterns provides for a more holistic understanding of how Virginia’s built environment came to be. Thus, in addition to images and a bulleted list of character-defining features, each style is given a brief history to provide context.
