Issues of continuity and gradual evolution of practices as opposed to rupture and sudden replacement form a major theme of funerary archaeological research as well as the broader socio-political context of the 4th to 7th centuries CE in England (e.g. Oosthuizen 2019). For this reason it is worth going the extra mile when interrogating and contextualising the relevant evidence in order to reach conclusions based upon as complete a picture as possible. The main focus of the following paragraphs is the interpretation of some of the items found in Guildown grave 78 put forward by Bird (and others before him) and how, in his words, these ‘must raise speculation about some form of continuity from late Roman arrange- ments in this general area’ (Bird 2018, 6-7).

  • Local Services Parish Letter—November 2016 RECTOR’S LETTER “I Waited for You to Turn to Me” November Is the Month of Remembrance
    Local Services Parish Letter—November 2016 RECTOR’S LETTER “I waited for you to turn to me” November is the month of Remembrance. We start with All the Saints on the 1st November, All Souls on the 2nd, Guy Fawkes on the 5th and then we remember our soldiers on the War Memorials on 11th November with Remembrance Sunday on 13th November. Towards the end of the month in the church calendar we celebrate ‘Christ the King’, when we are reminded that Jesus came into this world as God’s Son and was anointed and crowned with thorns to offer his life as a sacrifice for us on the cross, so that a kingdom could be born of Truth, Life, Justice, Love and Peace. Our world today so desperately needs a kingdom, where our world leaders talk truth, and where people of all faith and cultures can live in peace. What would be our part in all this I wonder? As Christians it is through our prayers, and our living relationship with God that we can make the difference. How we live our lives: giving time to God and showing love for our neighbour. We will also be remembering at the end of the month the first anniversary of the death of Revd Pattie Vigers who gave selflessly to these communities and her life to God. She is now at rest in that heavenly kingdom of Christ the king, where truth, justice and love abounds. For those of us still living our lives and remembering in the earthly kingdom our comfort is in allowing God to surround us with love and open our hearts to receive love in our lives.

  • Since 1998 1
    2017 SINCE 1998 1 1 ‘I had such a good time that I was sorely tempted to jump on stage at the final chorus and join in’ DAILY TELEGRAPH Oliver! at Grange Park Simon Opera Keenlyside 2016. as Fagin with his gang of pickpockets WELCOME FIVE MIRACLES HAVE TAKEN PLACE. The first was finding the magical setting of West Horsley Place. Other marvels were getting planning permission to build a fabulous new opera house in the Surrey Hills, the generosity of contributors (listed later) and the pace at which Martin Smith, our builder, has been making it take shape. How convenient that all this is happening a mile from a railway station – and around the corner from the M25. Of course, the greatest miracle of all has been the exceptional philanthropy of Bamber and Christina Gascoigne. By placing their inheritance into a charitable trust, this bewitching house and grounds can now be enjoyed forever by many people from all walks of life. Such miracles are cause for celebration and I do hope you will join us. Of course, the new can be frightening so it will be blended with familiar old friends: the seats – originally from the Royal Opera House – have come with us, as have the Indian pavilions, the chandeliers and the much-loved train set. At the heart of the experience is music. On June 8, Grange Park Opera will open in its new home with Tosca, and to sing for us we have captured the tenor superstar, Joseph Calleja. Joseph is one of a firmament that will be performing this season: Natalya Romaniw is in the title role of Janacek’s Jenufa (written at the same time as Tosca and with a similarly lavish orchestral palette), while for Wagner’s epic Die Walküre, American tenor Bryan Register will sing Siegmund opposite Rachel Nichols whose performances throughout Europe have been the talk of the EU.

    County of Surrey GUILDFORD DIVISION Register of Electors, 1918 An Alphabetical Index of Naval/Military and/or Absent Voters Surrey History Centre Reference: CC802/27/5 This document contains the names of individuals who were included in the 1918 Electoral Register for the Guildford Parliamentary Division of Surrey, and who were recorded as being either Naval, Military and/or absent voters. Notes: Not all Naval/Military voters may have been correctly designated “NM” (I believe this is especially the case for the Parish of Godalming) and not all absent voters may have been Naval/Military personnel, in which case their entries are highlighted in orange text. Red text denotes a possible error, or information derived from a different source, such as the 1919 Guildford Electoral Register. Some individuals were killed in action, or otherwise died, in the period between when the Register was compiled and the cessation of hostilities in November 1918. Some voters may appear more than once. This Index is therefore intended only as a guide to further research and no guarantee of accuracy is given.
