Never more so than the stories of the ‘ordinary’ individuals who risked all they knew - all they loved - in the hope of founding a new life in a distant land.

So begins a decade of celebrating our historic connections that stem from the journeys of intrepid emigrants from England to the United States. 2019 marks the 400th anniversary of Jamestown; 2020, the 400th anniversary of Mayflower’s journey from Plymouth, England; and 2030, the 400th anniversary of the mass departure from Boston, Plymouth England, inspired by Rev John Cotton. Millions of Americans can take this opportunity to explore and experience their ancestral roots. Take a trip back in time: see the same skies, breathe the same air; watch the same seas as those intrepid forebears. And, maybe connect with your own kin. Learn about the English villages, towns and lives your ancestors left behind. Discover your own heritage. Explore the complex history of England and the myriad peoples who shaped this proud island nation, before embarking on adventures that changed our shared history forever.

  • Definition of Chalk
    1.1: Introduction: 1.1.1: Definition of chalk: Chalk is a soft, white, porous sedimentary carbonate rock, a form of limestone composed of the mineral calcite. Calcite is calcium carbonate or CaCO3. It forms under reasonably deep marine conditions from the gradual accumulation of minute calcite shells (coccoliths) shed from micro-organisms called coccolithophores. Flint (a type of chert unique to chalk) is very common as bands parallel to the bedding or as nodules embedded in chalk. It is probably derived from sponge spicules or other siliceous organisms as water is expelled upwards during compaction. Flint is often deposited around larger fossils such as Echinoidea which may be silicified (i.e. replaced molecule by molecule by flint). Chalk as seen in Cretaceous deposits of Western Europe is unusual among sedimentary limestone in the thickness of the beds. Most cliffs of chalk have very few obvious bedding planes unlike most thick sequences of limestone such as the Carboniferous Limestone or the Jurassic oolitic limestones. This presumably indicates very stable conditions over tens of millions of years. Figure (1-1): Calcium sulphate 1 "Nitzana Chalk curves" situated at Western Negev, Israel are chalk deposits formed at the Mesozoic era's Tethys Ocean Chalk has greater resistance to weathering and slumping than the clays with which it is usually associated, thus forming tall steep cliffs where chalk ridges meet the sea. Chalk hills, known as chalk downland, usually form where bands of chalk reach the surface at an angle, so forming a scarp slope. Because chalk is well jointed it can hold a large volume of ground water, providing a natural reservoir that releases water slowly through dry seasons.

The Dean writes: I am delighted to announce that Chelmsford Cathedral is re-opening for personal prayer and reflection on 4th July. The Cathedral will then be open daily from 11 am to 3 pm. This is a great moment, and it is important to stress that is just a first step. Public worship will not resume for some time to come, but it has been wonderful to welcome so many joining us on-line for the daily prayer. That will continue to be streamed live on Facebook at 7.45 am and 5.15 pm every day, with the Eucharist streamed on Sundays at 10.30 am. From 4th July the interior of the Cathedral will be laid out in a different way. This is to comply fully with guidance from the Government and from the Church of England. We are determined to ensure that everyone who visits the Cathedral can do so in full confidence that it is a safe and secure environment. A one-way system will be in operation through the Cathedral, with everyone entering through the South Door and leaving through the North Door. There will be handwash at the door which everyone must use, and certain areas will not accessible, including the vestry block. Any seating in the Cathedral will be appropriately distanced, and every chair will be cleaned after every use, in accordance with the guidelines.

  • 20Th November 2019
    Information Classification: PUBLIC Your ref: My ref: EDG1382-01 Date: 20th November 2019 Dear Sir or Madam Tregorrick, St Austell – Traffic Calming. Cornwall Council is inviting comments on a proposal to reduce vehicle numbers and regulate traffic speeds through the hamlet of Tregorrick by providing a buildout on the western side of the village. In addition, ‘Dragons Teeth’ road markings are being proposed at the eastern approach to alert drivers to the upcoming hamlet (see attached drawing EDG1382-01 for details). This proposal has arisen as a result of concerns raised by residents who consider that the volume and speed of traffic has increased over recent years. Given the rural nature of this road there is limited visibility and substantial narrowing in places to almost a single track. It is anticipated that the above measures will help to discourage those drivers that use Tregorrick as a ‘rat-run’. If you have any comments you would like to make on the proposals I would be grateful to receive them no later than: 11 December 2019 To respond to this consultation, you can either: 1. Use Cornwall Council’s Consultation finder, an on-line facility for viewing and responding to traffic consultations. This can be accessed by visiting www.cornwall.gov.uk/TrafficConsult. Once registered you will be able to submit responses to this and other current traffic consultations. 2. E-mail the Engineering Design Group on [email protected], quoting scheme name and scheme reference and indicating your support or objection to the proposals. 3. Respond in writing using the attached Consultation Response Form, indicating your support or objection to the proposals and return it to the address shown at the foot of the form.
