  • Mapping the Cult of St James the Great in England During the Middle Ages: from the Second Half of the 11Th Century Until the Middle of the 14Th Century1
    MARTA AMEIJEIRAS BARROS Mapping the cult of St James the Great in England… Mapping the cult of St James the Great in England during the Middle Ages: from the second half of the 11th century until the middle of the 14th century1 Marta Ameijeiras Barros The University of Edinburgh Trazando el culto de Santiago el Mayor en Inglaterra durante la Edad Media: desde mediados del siglo XI hasta mediados del siglo XIV Resumen: Este estudio es el resultado de la investigación del impacto que el culto a Santiago el Mayor y la peregrinación a Compostela tuvieron en el paisaje arquitectónico de Inglaterra durante la Edad Media y la relación de las dedicaciones jacobeas inglesas con las vías de comunicación existentes en aquel momento. La cronología en la que se enmarca este trabajo, de la segunda mitad del siglo XI a me- diados del siglo XIV, no significa una acotación exacta, ya que se han tenido en cuenta las fundaciones jacobeas del período anterior, y las fechas de muchos de los edificios estudiados resultan confusas. Los principales objetivos de esta investigación son demostrar de una manera visual la existencia de una devoción compostelana consolidada ya desde época temprana y, además, servir como herramienta que ayude a visualizar los posibles itinerarios de los peregrinos jacobeos a través de la Inglaterra medieval. Palabras clave: Santiago el Mayor, arquitectura, dedicaciones, Inglaterra, Edad Media, mapa, rutas de peregrinaje. 1 This paper is based on a section of my current PhD dissertation at the University of Edinburgh under the supervision of Dr Heather Pulliam and Prof Manuel Castiñeiras.

  • Civilian Evacuation to Devon in the Second World War
    VOLUME 1 OF 2 CIVILIAN EVACUATION TO DEVON IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR Submitted by S.J. HESS as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History, 2006 CIVILIAN EVACUATION TO DEVON IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR Submitted by Susan Jane Hess, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History, July 2006. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. ………………………………………. 1 ABSTRACT Extensive sources have been reviewed and analysed to piece together for the first time a detailed academic study of civilian evacuation to Devon1 viewed against the national backdrop. The primary focus of this thesis is the large number of unaccompanied children who were officially evacuated to the County under the auspices of the Government Evacuation Scheme during the Second World War. However, Chapter Six discusses the evacuation of mothers and accompanying children, unofficial (private) evacuees and private school parties. The majority of evacuated children arriving in Devon originated from the London area and southeastern counties. In addition large numbers of children were also evacuated to the County from Bristol and within the County from Plymouth (Devon) during 1941 and briefly from Exeter in May 1942. Each of the three national evacuation waves is considered individually throughout the text as they are quite distinct in complexion, a fact frequently ignored in generalised accounts which tend to focus on reaction to the initial wave.

In accordance, with the procedure laid down in section 60(1) and (2) of the 1972 Act, notice was given on 23 April 1975 that we were to undertake this review. This was incorporated in a consultation letter addressed to the Torridge District Council, copies of which were circulated to the Devon County Council, Parish Councils and Parish Meetings in the District, the members of Parliament for the constituencies concerned and the headquarters of the main political parties. Copies were also sent to the editors of local newspapers circulating in the area and of the local government press. Notices Inserted in the local press announced the start of the review and invited comments from members of the public and from any interested bodies.
