Planning Wars
February 2019 February 2019 ! Free PLANNING WARS An emotive email about planning applications and how these can become divisive has been circulated by local councillor Heather Kidd. In it she states: “Waging war on individuals, making an application personal helps no one and often divides communities. Shouting at people or threatening them will achieve nothing except bad feeling and long lasting ramifications in communities. They have no effect on Planners and their decisions.” • Heather’s plea: Page 11 Return of the peregrine falcon Natural England has reported sightings of peregrine falcons around the Stiperstones over the Christmas period. The peregrine falcon has survived a government ordered cull in 1940 of some 600 birds, followed by the threat of DDT in pesticides in later years. Simon Cooter writes: “Since the ban of DDT in 1980 this remarkable bird has made an incredible recovery and is now widespread across the UK” • Simon Cooter: Page 27 Snailbeach District News - Issue 355 Page 1 February 2019 Get the latest from us online snailbeachdistrictnews.co.uk Notes from February The Editor CONTENTS I need some HELP!

The Implementation and Impact of the Reformation in Shropshire, 1545-1575
The Implementation and Impact of the Reformation in Shropshire, 1545-1575 Elizabeth Murray A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts United Faculty of Theology The Melbourne College of Divinity October, 2007 Abstract Most English Reformation studies have been about the far north or the wealthier south-east. The poorer areas of the midlands and west have been largely passed over as less well-documented and thus less interesting. This thesis studying the north of the county of Shropshire demonstrates that the generally accepted model of the change from Roman Catholic to English Reformed worship does not adequately describe the experience of parishioners in that county. Acknowledgements I am grateful to Dr Craig D’Alton for his constant support and guidance as my supervisor. Thanks to Dr Dolly Mackinnon for introducing me to historical soundscapes with enthusiasm. Thanks also to the members of the Medieval Early Modern History Cohort for acting as a sounding board for ideas and for their assistance in transcribing the manuscripts in palaeography workshops. I wish to acknowledge the valuable assistance of various Shropshire and Staffordshire clergy, the staff of the Lichfield Heritage Centre and Lichfield Cathedral for permission to photograph churches and church plate. Thanks also to the Victoria & Albert Museum for access to their textiles collection. The staff at the Shropshire Archives, Shrewsbury were very helpful, as were the staff of the State Library of Victoria who retrieved all the volumes of the Transactions of the Shropshire Archaeological Society. I very much appreciate the ongoing support and love of my family. -
