Maccus was believed to be a Norse chief who lived in the reign of David I. Sir John Maxwell, Chamberlain of Scotland, died without issue and was succeeded by his brother, Aymer, from whose sons sprang many branches of this family throughout the south-west of Scotland. Sir Herbert Maxwell swore fealty to Edward I of England in the Ragman Roll of 1296. His son, Eustace, held Caerlaverock Castle as a vassal of the English, but later followed Robert the Bruce to Bannockburn in 1314. His descendent, another Sir Herbert, was created Lord Maxwell around 1440, taking his seat as Lord of Parliament. From his second son descended the Maxwells of Monrieth, who were later to be created baronets in 1681. The fifth Lord intrigued with Henry VII of England, although by 1542 James V had appointed him warden of the marches. Maxwell was captured at the Battle of Solway Moss in the same year. John, the seventh Lord, remained a devout Catholic throughout the Reformation, and his name was linked with a number of plots to restore Mary, Queen of Scots to her throne.

    Bishop Otter College Guild Newsletter 2018

    Bishop Otter College Guild Newsletter 2018 Guild Newsletter 2018 | 3 Welcome to the Bishop Otter College Guild Newsletter 2018 We are very excited to announce the return of the Jean Lurçat tapestry to the Chapel of the Ascension after six years. The tapestry had not been taken down since its installation in the early 1960s and although it was in very good condition it showed evidence of dye fading due to over exposure to high light levels, a few areas of abraded weft particularly at shoulder and arm height and it was very dusty. The work undertaken by conservator Zenzie Tinker (pictured below) has addressed the damage caused by dust and abrasion and the tapestry has been raised to reduce the risk of people brushing against it when using the altar. The issue of UV damage remains but the tapestry will now be checked annually by the conservator to assess its condition. The Chapel of the Ascension has played a central role in the life of the University since its creation and we are thrilled to be able to showcase the tapestry once more. We invite our alumni back to campus to view the tapestry either before or during the Bishop Otter Guild Reunion. If you would like to visit please get in touch with the Alumni Team who will be happy to arrange a visit for you. 01243 812171 [email protected] 2 | Guild Newsletter 2018 Bishop Otter College Guild President Professor Clive Behagg Vice-Presidents Dr Colin Greaves Professor Philip E D Robinson Honorary Secretary Mr Marten Lougee 11 Meadow Close Cononley, Keighley West Yorkshire BD20 8LZ 01535 636487

  • Informal Extended Education in Scotland. an Overview of School Age Childcare

    Informal Extended Education in Scotland. an Overview of School Age Childcare

    Informal Extended Education in Scotland. An Overview of School Age Childcare Irene Audain Introduction Scotland has its own devolved Parliament since 1999, and the Scottish educational, legal and cultural context for out of school care has always been unique from the rest of the UK. Hence, in this article I will shed light on the education system and on the school age childcare services in Scotland. In the third part I will give an overview of the Scottish Out of School Care Network (SOSCN) which is the national organi- sation in Scotland that fosters high quality childcare, play and learning for children of school age. In Scotland extended education and school age childcare is most often referred to as “out of school care”, then “after school care”, “holiday club” or breakfast club. There is also some extended education in Scotland in the form of homework support and other activities provided by teachers in schools, as well as summer schools for sports or the arts, however, the focus in this article is on the more prevalent school age childcare, which, although informal learning, is also a type of extended educa- tion. Early Learning and Childcare is the preferred term of the Scottish Government for what might be called pre-school education or early education and care. Learning is used rather than education as this acknowledges what the child brings as an active learner. Care emphasises the relationships involved and that care and learning are part of the same processes. The Education System Children begin primary school at aged 4–5, after usually two years of part time free early learning and childcare, currently 600 hours per annum, with the Scottish Gov- ernment aiming to increase this to 1,140 hours in the next five years.

The Johnstones came into prominence as a powerful Border Clan involved in frequent episodes of Border warfare. In 1633, in the reign of King Charles I, James Johnstone of Johnstone was created Lord Johnstone of Lochwood and in 1643 advanced to be Earl of Hartfell. The extinct Earldom of Annandale was conferred on his heir, the 2nd Earl of Hartfell in 1661, who died in 1672. His son, William, became the first Marquis of Annandale in 1701. The Marquisate, the Earldom of Hartfell and Lord Johnstone became extinct and all the other peerages and titles became dormant in 1792 on the death of William’s grandson, George, 3rd Marquis of Annandale who died unmarried. Nearly 200 years passed without a Chief of Clan Johnstone possibly through confusion that none of the Heads of the Johnstone family had matriculated his or her arms with the Lord Lyon. This should be done at least every second generation. Then in 1983, the Lord Lyon of Scotland officially recognized Percy Wentworth Hope Johnstone of Annandale and of that ilk as Chief of the Name and Arms of Johnstone.

    Victoria County History of Cumbria Project: Work in Progress Interim Draft [Note: This is an incomplete, interim draft and should not be cited without first consulting the VCH Cumbria project: for contact details, see http://www.cumbriacountyhistory.org.uk/] Parish/township: KIRKANDREWS ON ESK Author: Fay V. Winkworth Date of draft: January 2013 KIRKANDREWS ON ESK: INTRODUCTION1 1. Description and location Kirkandrews on Esk is a large rural, sparsely populated parish in the north west of Cumbria bordering on Scotland. It extends nearly 10 miles in a north-east direction from the Solway Firth, with an average breadth of 3 miles. It comprised 10,891 acres (4,407 ha) in 1864 2 and 11,124 acres (4,502 ha) in 1938. 3 Originally part of the barony of Liddel, its history is closely linked with the neighbouring parish of Arthuret. The nearest town is Longtown (just across the River Esk in Arthuret parish). Kirkandrews on Esk, named after the church of St. Andrews 4, lies about 11 miles north of Carlisle. This parish is separated from Scotland by the rivers Sark and Liddel as well as the Scotsdike, a mound of earth erected in 1552 to divide the English Debatable lands from the Scottish. It is bounded on the south and east by Arthuret and Rockcliffe parishes and on the north east by Nicholforest, formerly a chapelry within Kirkandrews which became a separate ecclesiastical parish in 1744. The border with Arthuret is marked by the River Esk and the Carwinley burn. 1 The author thanks the following for their assistance during the preparation of this article: Ian Winkworth, Richard Brockington, William Bundred, Chairman of Kirkandrews Parish Council, Gillian Massiah, publicity officer Kirkandrews on Esk church, Ivor Gray and local residents of Kirkandrews on Esk, David Grisenthwaite for his detailed information on buses in this parish; David Bowcock, Tom Robson and the staff of Cumbria Archive Centre, Carlisle; Stephen White at Carlisle Central Library.
