If the other person wasn’t a Christian they’d just think someone had been doodling.

  • A Sense of Place Horseheath | Cambridge I Use the House As a Holiday Home, So Everything Is Immaculate and Has Hardly Been Used
    A Sense Of Place Horseheath | Cambridge I use the house as a holiday home, so everything is immaculate and has hardly been used. I’ve had the whole place painted in Farrow and Ball and just before lock down, I had a new patio put down and re-turfed the lawn. It’s just waiting for someone to come and put their stamp on it. The house would certainly suit a family, and it’s got so much flexibility and potential.” A Sense Of Place Village Life On the south eastern tip of Cambridgeshire, into a much larger space with plenty of close to the Suffolk and Essex borders, sits storage. Light streams in, emphasising the Horseheath, a pretty village with excellent pale wooden floors and sleek, elegant lines transport links. Situated between Linton of the house. To the right, there is a large and Haverhill, and just half an hour’s drive sitting room with an open fire and French from Cambridge, it’s a friendly community doors opening out on to the patio.

  • The Revolt of the Fields in East Anglia 4/- 50 (Alf Peacock)
    I N M E M O R I A who has been Secretary of the History Group of the Communist Party for several years, died on Tuesday, 19th April. Without his lively interest and constant practical help OUR HISTORY would not have appeared, nor would the other activities of the History Group have taken place. He was typical of the best in the British working-class, a lifelong Communist, educated by the Communist Party and by his own wide experiences and self-study. In recent years he had been responsible for many developments in the educational and cultural work of the Party. His vast knowledge of people and his deep humanism, was always at the service of professional and specialist groups. His modesty was an example to all who worked with him; it cloaked but did not conceal from the perceptive a penetrating mind and considerable learning. We shall miss him greatly,: His monument is in the developing influence of Marxist ideas in many varied aspects of our culture. Page One FOREWORD Mr. Peacock's "Bread or Blood" (Gollancz, 1965) did not receive the attention which it deserved. We suspect because its combination of massive documentation in the local press and local records with unwavering sympathy for the cause of the exploited and oppressed made the academic and reviewing establishment uneasy. Mr. Peacock has now turned his attention from the 'agrarian riots in East Anglia in 1816' to 'the agricultural trade unionism of the 1870s' in the same area. (l) We are pleased to be able to publish this study, although Mr.

  • Newsletter 42
    Friends of the Roman Road and Fleam Dyke November 2013 Newsletter 42 What are we for? This. Fleam Dyke, south of A11 This photograph was taken for us in July 2013 by Henry Stanier, Ecology Groups Officer for the Wildlife Trust BCN along with other views and close up photographs of flowers, which will be added to their files. He plans to return next year and take some long shots of the Roman Road. This photograph shows about half of this section of the Fleam Dyke. The Juniper bushes and the Bedford Gap are behind us. Most of the left hand bank here was cleared of thick scrub in 2001. An early work party of the Friends cleared an area of the right hand bank next to the Silver Birch tree. The reason that this clearance has been so successful is that the top of this bank was kept clear in the seventies and eighties by people such as David Clark, Sean Wylie, Alec Sadler, John Davidson and others. The flowers are classic chalk grassland species, which spread happily down into the pure chalk of the cleared bank: Thyme, Rock-rose. Lady’s Bedstraw, Squinancywort, Horseshoe Vetch, Dwarf Thistle, Carline Thistle and Dropwort.The taller purple flowers are Greater Knapweed, which is followed by Common Knapweed, feeding butterflies and bees all summer. 2 “Route and Branch” – a memoir by Bill Clark Every time I read the Friends’ Newsletter, it reminds me of my own efforts of getting volunteers, raising money and wrestling with officialdom in its many guises - who seem to spend most of their time demanding much paperwork, and saying, ‘You may not!’ but will occasionally swamp you with money, machinery - even more paperwork - and a deadline! This July’s Newsletter announcing that the newest leaflet is dedicated to Dr David Clark - no relative of mine I am sad to say - jogged more memories! I was a member of his Committee during the 1970s - but only managed to do a couple of ‘heavy’ jobs for him.

Scot Many genealogists and family histoinans will be familiar with the Marquis of Ruvigny's famous scries on the Blood Royal of England, both Plantagenet and Tudor. In those volumes he traces mainly indirect descents, and many of the lines end with quite ordinary people rather than just the aristocracy. He extols such genealogical research as equally as important as direct lines. Many, however, will be unaware that there is a Scottish connection and here we begin that with Malcolm Canmore (1031-1093) who is famous for returning to Scotland from exile in 1056/7 and defeating Macbeth, who murdered his father. King Duncan P' in 1040. Malcolm's first wife was Ingibiorg, daughter of Finn Amesson, Jarl of Holland, and by her he had Duncan 11 King of Scots, bom in 1060 and murdered in 1094.
