  • The History of St Andrew's Hall
    The History of St. Andrew's Hall a scrapbook Produced by The Museum of English Rural Life based on research by N. Rosalinde Downing, BA, MA At the heart of the new Museum of English Rural Life is a building of considerable historic interest – St Andrew’s Hall. St Andrew’s Hall was originally designed by the Victorian architect Alfred Waterhouse as a private home for local man Alfred Palmer in 1880. The house was then known as East Thorpe. Alfred Palmer gave the house to the University to become the first women-only hall of residence in Reading. This scrapbook outlines the history of the building that is now proudly reincarnated as the Museum of English Rural Life. Photographs of St. Andrew's Hall shortly after it closed to students in 2001. Who was Alfred Palmer? Alfred Palmer was a member of Reading’s famous Palmer family, held the position of High Sheriff of Berkshire and was deeply involved in the University. Born in 1852 and educated in Tottenham, Alfred spent over fifty years working for the Huntley & Palmers biscuit company, chiefly as the head of the engineering department where he was responsible for the building and maintenance of the biscuit machinery. It is believed that Alfred Palmer was responsible for the variety of biscuits the Alfred Palmer company produced. “Had it not been for Alfred Palmer’s mechanical inventiveness, the firm would have been quite unable to turn out so many different kinds of biscuits of such varying shapes and textures.” T. Corley. Quaker enterprise in biscuits : Huntley and Palmers of Reading, 1822-1972.

  • Rare Plant Register
    1 BSBI RARE PLANT REGISTER Berkshire & South Oxfordshire V.C. 22 MICHAEL J. CRAWLEY FRS UPDATED APRIL 2005 2 Symbols and conventions The Latin binomial (from Stace, 1997) appears on the left of the first line in bold, followed by the authority in Roman font and the English Name in italics. Names on subsequent lines in Roman font are synonyms (including names that appear in Druce’s (1897) or Bowen’s (1964) Flora of Berkshire that are different from the name of the same species in Stace). At the right hand side of the first line is a set of symbols showing - status (if non-native) - growth form - flowering time - trend in abundance (if any) The status is one of three categories: if the plant arrived in Britain after the last ice age without the direct help of humans it is defined as a native, and there is no symbol in this position. If the archaeological or documentary evidence indicates that a plant was brought to Berkshire intentionally of unintentionally by people, then that species is an alien. The alien species are in two categories ● neophytes ○ archaeophytes Neophytes are aliens that were introduced by people in recent times (post-1500 by convention) and for which we typically have precise dates for their first British and first Berkshire records. Neophytes may be naturalized (forming self-replacing populations) or casual (relying on repeated introduction). Archaeophytes are naturalized aliens that were carried about by people in pre-historic times, either intentionally for their utility, or unintentionally as contaminants of crop seeds. Archaeophytes were typically classified as natives in older floras.
