This thesis owes much of its existence to her and her comments, recommendations, edits, and support. Thank you also to Ellen Wurtzel for guiding me through my first large-scale research paper in my third year at Oberlin, and for encouraging me to pursue honors. Shelley Lee has been an invaluable resource and advisor in the daunting process of putting together a fifty-some page research paper, while my fellow History honors candidates have been supportive, helpful in their advice, and great to commiserate with.

  • The Last Epidemic of Plague in England? Suffolk 1906-1918
    THE LAST EPIDEMIC OF PLAGUE IN ENGLAND? SUFFOLK 1906-1918 by DAVID VAN ZWANENBERG APART from a single case of plague contracted in a laboratory at Porton in 1962 the last English outbreak of plague occurred in Suffolk. There were several official reports published soon after and there have been a number of short accounts based on these reports. This account of the epidemic was compiled with the aid of contemporary sources such as newspapers, letters, minutes of committees and coroner's depositions, together with information from one of the survivors, from several near relatives of the victims, as well as from official reports. In particular the author was fortunate in discovering a collection of letters, telegrams and other documents belonging to the late Dr. H. P. Sleigh, who was Medical Officer of Health of the Rural District of Samford at the time. THE DIAGNOSIS OF PLAGUE Five miles south of Ipswich, about halfway between the villages of Freston and Holbrook lies a small group of cottages called Latimer Cottages (see Map and Photograph). At the time that plague was first diagnosed this building was divided into three homes. In the middle cottage lived a farmworker, Mr. Chapman, his wife and four of his wife's children of a former marriage. On Tuesday, 13 September 1910, the third of these children, Annie Goodall, aged nine, was taken ill. She had not been away from home since 4 September. Following a bout of vomiting she ran a high temperature. She was seen by Dr. Carey on the following day when her temperature was 105°F, but apart from her general toxaemia he could detect no physical signs.

  • Suffolk's Year of Walking Update
    Suffolk’s Year of Walking Update April 2016 With just over a month until Suffolk’s Year of Walking kicks off, the final plans and preparations are now being put into place. Suffolk’s Year of Walking is a campaign celebrating walking in Suffolk. It provides a platform that will promote walking events and activities, as well as provide inspiration and opportunities for people to walk more often. The Year of Walking will highlight everything from recreational Nordic and long distance walking to the more everyday walking to work and school. Suffolk’s Year of Walking calendar currently has over 300 events scheduled between May 2016 and May 2017. Walking events include everything from wildlife walks and dog walks, to ghost walks and 26 mile ‘Challenge Walks’. There is something for all ages and all abilities! Also, this summer will see wild pigs spring up in and around Ipswich town centre and waterfront as part of the Pigs Gone Wild trail (www.pigsgonewild.co.uk). The interactive sculpture trail will feature more than 40 pigs that have been individually decorated by artists…make sure you don’t miss our Year of Walking pig! Suffolk’s Year of Walking are pleased to present Archant, publishers of the East Anglian Daily Times, Ipswich Star and others, as a media partner. We would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their support. A dedicated Year of Walking website (www.suffolkyearofwalking.co.uk) is currently being developed and will be live in the coming weeks. The website will contain up-to-date information about walking events taking place in Suffolk as well as national health campaigns associated with walking and physical activity.

  • Newsletter Jan 2019
    Ipswich Art Society Registered charity no. 219257 Issue 73 www.ipswich-art-society.org.uk January 2019 newsletter It is sad to relate that we have lost two much loved and respected long standing members of the Society during this last year: Edwin Barritt and Anne Paterson Wallace. You will see this reflected in the affectionate Obituaries. The Winter Talk Series is moving to the Spring and we are experimenting with moving them to the afternoon rather than the evening. Some of the talks last year were more scantily attended than in the past and the committee conjectured that this may be to do with having to venture out on dark winter evenings. So, as a trial this year we are moving later in the year - to what we hope will be more clement weather - and to the afternoon, to see if that might widen the appeal to our membership and the public. We are just holding two this year to see how the experiment works and we have two excellent speakers. See Spring Talks for details. The 2018 Annual Open Exhibition at the Ipswich Art Gallery was a great success as ever. As reported in the last Newsletter we had a larger than ever volume of submissions, which is excellent news. Anticipating a similar response this year we will be making a couple of adjustments. The first is the selection process, which will be amended to help include more works and reduce the number of disappointments. The second concerns the the framing and fixings. We will not be able to handle the volume of works if such a large proportion of works continue to have the wrong fixings.

    Written evidence submitted by News Media Association News Media Association response to the DCMS Select Committee Call for Evidence Inquiry on the impact of Covid-19 on DCMS Sectors [28 April 2020] The News Media Association represents national, regional and local news publishers. It members publish some 1000 titles throughout the United Kingdom. These include national titles, such as The Times, The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph, The Mirror and The Sun and regional and local titles such as the Yorkshire Post, the Monmouthshire Beacon, The Stratford Herald , the East Anglian Daily Times and the Kent Messenger. They reach an audience of some 48 million adult readers each month, in print and online, but this is being driven ever upwards with the public demand for verified accurate information and trusted journalism as a result of the Covid-19 crisis, The NMA and its members have welcomed the Government's acknowledgment of the newspaper industry as the 'fourth emergency service' and appreciate the strong messages of support for regional and local newspapers in particular which have been expressed by many Members of Parliament. The NMA has briefed the Government on the drastic impact of Covid-19 pandemic and consequent measures upon the sector. It has outlined further action necessary to provide the crucial short term support necessary to sustain titles through the initial crisis. Currently, two measures would provide both immediate relief and ongoing help -the extension of 100% business rates relief available to retail, leisure and hospitality to newspaper publishers, especially local publishers, since news suppliers cannot simply 'mothball' their businesses; and the bringing forward and backdating VAT zero rating for e- newspapers, including news websites, to 1 January 2020 instead of 1 December 2020.

  • Dyeing Sutton Hoo Nordic Blonde: an Interpretation of Swedish Influences on the East Anglian Gravesite
    DYEING SUTTON HOO NORDIC BLONDE: AN INTERPRETATION OF SWEDISH INFLUENCES ON THE EAST ANGLIAN GRAVESITE Casandra Vasu A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2008 Committee: Andrew Hershberger, Advisor Charles E. Kanwischer © 2008 Casandra Vasu All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Andrew Hershberger, Advisor Nearly seventy years have passed since the series of tumuli surrounding Edith Pretty’s estate at Sutton Hoo in Eastern Suffolk, England were first excavated, and the site, particularly the magnificent ship-burial and its associated pieces located in Mound 1, remains enigmatic to archaeologists and historians. Dated to approximately the early seventh century, the Sutton Hoo entombment retains its importance by illuminating a period of English history that straddles both myth and historical documentation. The burial also exists in a multicultural context, an era when Scandinavian influences factored heavily upon society in the British Isles, predominantly in the areas of art, religion and literature. Literary works such as the Old English epic of Beowulf, a tale of a Geatish hero and his Danish and Swedish counterparts, offer insight into the cultural background of the custom of ship-burial and the various accoutrements of Norse warrior society. Beowulf may hold an even more specific affinity with Sutton Hoo, in that a character from the tale, Weohstan, is considered to be an ancestor of the man commemorated in the ship- burial in Mound 1. Weohstan, whose allegiance lay with the Geats, was nonetheless a member of the Wægmunding clan, distant relations to the Swedish Scylfing dynasty.

  • Newsletter August 2021 (Pdf)
    Ipswich Art Society Registered charity no. 219257 Issue 77 www.ipswich-art-society.org.uk July 2021 newsletter From the Chair First of all, we all owe each other fulsome thanks and congratulations for persevering, during a rather barren time, with life in general and for our continuing support of the Art Society. The Committee has been using the time to build our position for the future. We are planning to expand the number and range of activities for when the world emerges blinking into the light. These support a dual purpose. First is to make up in some way for our isolation and celebrate (dare we say?) at least a partial release, and reconnect us as a society. Second, with an eye to the future, we wish to provide every opportunity to attract new members. There are many artists and groups that may not have come across the Society, or that have not connected for some reason. As plans are developing towards our 150th Anniversary in 2024, our thoughts turn to the next 150 years. We are looking at ways to connect the valuable legacy Man Up by Honor Giles of the Society with the future, so that we can continue its growth and AAA Exhibition continue its mission. These events should connect us with a wider public. In addition, you will see in the Newsletter details of several more immediate events - some already in train and others in formation - which should attract different styles of participation. For those in the formative stages, we invite all our membership to add comments and suggestions.
