But my wife, Maple, is from Hong Kong, and so we’ve decided to start a new chapter over there with our young children.” Managing Director, Laurie Riley, said: “Chris has such a friendly and outgoing personality, and he’s always been very passionate about his work, going the extra mile to deliver excellent service. He will definitely be missed by everyone here at Dyke Yaxley.” KAREN HAYNES, RICH MORRIS (PAYROLL MANAGER), LAUREN GORMAN, GEORGE POWIS AND TRACEY YOUNG Stepping into Chris’ shoes is Rich Morris, who is already a familiar face having worked for “I’m very proud to be taking on the role of “It’s an incredibly busy area of the business, Dyke Yaxley for the past 14 years.

The county was contested during the First Civil War of 1642-6 and also saw armed conflict on a smaller scale during the Second Civil War of 1648. This detailed study provides a comprehensive bipartisan analysis of military endeavour, in terms of organisation and of the engagements fought. Drawing on numerous primary sources, it explores: leadership and administration; recruitment and the armed forces; military finance; supply and logistics; and the nature and conduct of the fighting.

    Parish Magazine for Wem, Lee Brockhurst and Weston-under-Redcastle February 2021 In response to reaching the terrible milestone of 100,000 deaths from COVID-19, the Archbishops invite all to call on God in Prayer. Starting on 1 February we invite you to set aside time every evening to pray, particularly at 6pm each day. More than ever, this is a time when we need to love each other. Prayer is an expression of love.

Each number is a person: someone we loved and someone who loved us. We also believe that each of these people was known to God and cherished by God. We write to you then in consolation, but also in encouragement, and ultimately in the hope of Jesus Christ. The God who comes to us in Jesus knew grief and suffering himself. On the cross, Jesus shares the weight of our sadness. We therefore encourage everyone who is feeling scared, or lost or isolated to cast their fears on God.

We are putting together Council Tax Bill plans for Shropshire that are bold and far-reaching to ensure Shropshire remains a 2019 to 2020 great place to visit, to work and to do business. Since taking over as Leader of the Council two years ago, my priority has been to focus on economic regeneration, raising income, becoming more commercial and efficient and ensuring Shropshire gets its fair share of funding. Creating a sustainable future for Shropshire is not something that can be achieved overnight, this is a long-term strategy involving some difficult decisions and dealing 2 with changes that are beyond our control. 2019/20 is the second year of a five-year plan set out in our Financial Strategy. The years ahead are expected to provide many challenges for the Council. We know our population is aging with needs growing ever more complex as time goes on, yet we understand our duty to provide the best care that we can afford for the people of Shropshire. We estimate that the cost of Adult Social Care will rise by £8.8m in 2019/20. Demographic demands in Children’s Services have seen a step change over the last two years and safeguarding our younger population has proved difficult to manage financially since 2017/18.

Building Recording and Documentary Research Hislop, M Edgbaston : Birmingham Archaeology, 2007, 40pp, colour pls, figs, refs Work undertaken by: Birmingham Archaeology The study area, together with the adjacent No. 31 Commercial Street, appeared to have been developed as a saw mill and timber yard c.1862. Amongst the principal components of the complex was a late 19th century sawmill building, in existence by 1888, and possibly to be identified with some of the additions made to the works in 1878 and 1882. The ground storey of this building was open to the north, south and east, the west side forming the boundary with No. 31 and containing blocked carriage and pedestrian entrances. The other main building was the street range of 1899, a mainly three-storey structure of open-plan shopping and first-floor office, designed by the Birmingham architect, G.R. Faulkner. At the east end of this building was a small cellar with early concrete ceiling reminiscent of contemporary construction techniques recorded in 2006 at the former Adamant Works at Nos. 37-45 Commercial Street.
