  • Proceedings Wesley Historical Society
    Proceedings OF THE Wesley Historical Society Editor: REV. JOHN C. BOWMER, M.A., B.D., Ph.D. Volume XXXVI June 1968 WESLEY AND SOCIAL CARE HE problems of the twentieth century are the problems of affluence. The most serious social problem of the nineteenth T century was that of poverty. Beatrice Webb, in her book My Apprenticeship, speaks of the concern felt by middle-class people over this-a concern which amounted to a new consciousness of sin among men of intellect and property. She says: The consciousness of sin was a collective class consciousness; a grow· ing uneasiness, amounting to conviction, that the industrial organisation, which had yielded rent, interest and profits on a stupendous scale, had failed to provide a decent livelihood and tolerable conditions for the majority of the inhabitants of Great Britain. This mood of self-reproach was combined with a fear of the poor and of an uprising similar to that which had disrupted France, and of which the Chartist movement was a vivid reminder. Philanthropy became a means of avoiding disaster. Much of this urge was un­ doubtedly subconscious; Victorian benevolence was not studied hypocrisy. When Lord Brougham demanded a select committee of the House of Lords to examine the widespread poverty in the North­ East in 1842, he did so because he was sorry for the operatives dying in the streets, and not because of any policy of pacifying the dis­ tressed. Nevertheless, the Victorian lady and gentleman did much good through fear of what might be the consequence if their good works were left undone.

  • Examine the Value of Place-Names As Evidence for the History, Landscape and Language(S) of Your Chosen Area
    Volume 4: 2011-2012 ISSN: 2041-6776 School of English Examine the value of place-names as evidence for the history, landscape and language(s) of your chosen area. Rebecca Gregory This corpus contains place-names from an area directly to the south-east of Nottingham, stretching as far as the Lincolnshire and Leicestershire borders. This area is wholly within the Danelaw, and therefore it is expected that there will be a large amount of evidence of Scandinavian influence in the area as well as settlement by other peoples. The only linguistic evidence of British settlement in the place-names of this area is in the naming of the river Trent, with its probable meaning of „trespasser‟. This meaning is just as apt today as it must have been at the time of naming, as the Trent‟s flood plain is very wide, and flooding of the banks has a devastating effect, as can be seen in this photograph taken by the British Geological Survey of flooding in November 2000. Although named in Old English rather than British, the wīg in Wysall possibly shows evidence of Flooding of the Trent in November 2000 pre-Anglo-Saxon culture and <http://www.bgs.ac.uk/science/landUseAndDevelopment/ religion in the area. shallow_geohazards/flooding.html> [accessed 5 Jan 2012]. The Fosse Way (A46) runs straight through this area, but surprisingly there is no linguistic evidence in the corpus which indicates the presence of a Roman road. However, field- and farm names in the area may well contain indicators of the road upon examination.
