    An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: With a catalogue of artefacts By Esme Nadine Hookway A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MRes Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham March 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract The Anglo-Saxon period spanned over 600 years, beginning in the fifth century with migrations into the Roman province of Britannia by peoples’ from the Continent, witnessing the arrival of Scandinavian raiders and settlers from the ninth century and ending with the Norman Conquest of a unified England in 1066. This was a period of immense cultural, political, economic and religious change. The archaeological evidence for this period is however sparse in comparison with the preceding Roman period and the following medieval period. This is particularly apparent in regions of western England, and our understanding of Shropshire, a county with a notable lack of Anglo-Saxon archaeological or historical evidence, remains obscure. This research aims to enhance our understanding of the Anglo-Saxon period in Shropshire by combining multiple sources of evidence, including the growing body of artefacts recorded by the Portable Antiquity Scheme, to produce an over-view of Shropshire during the Anglo-Saxon period.

    World War One ‘Letters Home’ project These fictional letters are based on brief descriptions in The Great War: Devizes District Soldiers, by Richard Broadhead. This book records all known soldiers from Devizes who died during the war. They were kindly written by volunteers of all ages. Most were individuals who responded to a call for help, but two schools also took part. Wiltshire Museum thanks all the volunteers for their help. Almost all the soldiers are commemorated on the War Memorial just down the street from the museum, next to St. John’s Church. The letters were posted around Devizes as part of the WW1 Centenary Commemoration weekend, 2018. This totally fictional letter was written by Hugo, aged 7. It was not inspired by a real soldier and is totally from his imagination. The Western Front Dear Mum, I’m writing this letter to tell you that I am Okay. A couple of tanks have broken through the German border. Hope the weather is better where you are because it’s not going to improve here. We’ve had a few attacks, but not many this week. I really wish the war would end so I can could get out of this horrid trench. There are rats and lice everywhere. I’ve got malaria. I suppose I am going to die soon.

  • Herriard Religious History
    HERRIARD RELIGIOUS HISTORY Herriard was served by a vicar from at least the late 13th century, as the earliest known vicar was recorded in 1284.1 A parson2, a chaplain3 and a former rector of Herriard4 were also recorded in the 13th century. Thereafter Herriard was always served by a vicar, who from the 16th century onwards was often assisted by a curate. In the 18th and 19th centuries the vicars of Herriard were often non-resident and many vicars and curates held other church offices in conjunction with their posts in Herriard. In the 20th and 21st centuries there were a series of amalgamations with neighbouring benefices from the merger with Lasham (St Mary) in 1929,5 to the combination in 2008 into the North Hampshire Downs benefice comprising eight parishes and 12 churches.6 PAROCHIAL ORGANISATION Glebe and Tithes Payments to the church were included as rents in grants during the 13th century. In the 1260s William Buntes was granted a messuage in Herriard for which the rent was one gillyflower and 2s. paid to the church.7 When Henry, son of Henry Faber leased the same messuage from Bunte his rent was one rose to Bunte and 2s. to the church.8 The benefice was assessed at £21 13s. 4d. in 1291, the church valued at £16 13s. 4d. and the vicarage valued at £5.9 In July 1305 the parsonage of the church was valued at £1 13s. 4d. for the purposes of crown dues, a sum that was presumably paid before Michaelmas.10 On 17 March 1334, Thomas de Coudray granted the church, lands, tithes and advowson of Herriard to the nunnery of Hartley Wintney.11 This grant formed the basis of a new manor of Herriard Witney.12 In 1597 the quarterly rent due to the vicar of Herriard was 50s.13 When John Wynne, vicar of Herriard, leased the vicarage to 1 Registrum Johannis de Pontissara, 293.

  • Anglo-Saxon Conceptions of Impairment and Disability
    Unhælu: Anglo-Saxon Conceptions of Impairment and Disability Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Karen Anne Bruce, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee Leslie Lockett, Advisor Brenda Brueggemann Christopher A. Jones 1 Copyright by Karen Anne Bruce 2014 2 Abstract In this dissertation, I provide a reconstruction and analysis of the Anglo-Saxon conceptions of impairment and disability, as they are preserved within the textual record of the period. I develop the Old English lexeme unhælu as the most appropriate term for these conceptions, as it reflects the holism that is central to the Anglo-Saxon understanding of health and ability. Unhælu is a large and fluid category, which covers physical impairment, illness, and injury, and which takes into consideration their impact on both the body’s functionality and appearance. Importantly, it does not seem to cover mental health impairments and other similar conditions. It may perhaps be best understood in terms of Rosemarie Garland-Thomson’s notion of the “extraordinary body,” which brings together various kinds of corporeal otherness, such as impairment, deformity, monstrosity, and mutilation. Consequently, this dissertation focuses on defining the polysemous concept of unhælu, determining how the Anglo-Saxons perceived the concept, and discovering how these beliefs impacted the lives of unhal people. To achieve these aims, I employ rigorous textual and linguistic analysis, and adapt the insights of present-day disability theory to an early medieval context. In the opening chapters, I begin by establishing the linguistic and educational foundations of the Anglo-Saxon conception of unhælu.

  • Dissertation Submitted in Part-Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Department of History, University of Sheffield
    Social Exclusion from Early Medieval Wessex Martha Riddiford Dissertation submitted in part-fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Department of History, University of Sheffield December 2007 For my grandparents, Thomas and Mavis Henshall "ý ý! ýlý" Abstract Over the past twenty years Anglo-Saxonists have become increasingly interested in the mechanismsand processesthrough which West Saxon society was formed into a cohesive and coherent whole. They have focused on the ways in which kings and other figures of authority used their power in attempts to bring their subjects together by providing them with a senseof sharedidentity, purpose and ambitions. To date, however, academicshave failed to recognisethe important role that exclusion played in this processand this thesis servesto redressthis balance. By examining the types of individuals that were excluded from full membership of early medieval West Saxon society and the reasonsfor their exclusion, it offers a new way of exploring the processesthat made this society self-consciously more coherent. The thesis is structured thematically around five separatecategories of people who each in their own way experienced some form of social exclusion from the kingdom of Wessex during the seventh to late-tenth centuries, but focusing most heavily on the ninth and tenth centuries. Chapter one explores the concept of social exclusion as voluntary exile, entailing an investigation into the motivations that prompted Anglo-Saxon missionaries and pilgrims to leave behind their homes and kin. Most importantly, this chapter surveys the networks of support that such travellers exploited in order to help them survive as aliens in foreign territories.
