I enjoyed my time here so much I didn’t want to leave and last year I was fortunate enough to get a position in the Alumni and Development team. When I’m not at Keele I spend my time with my horses, dogs and family. P8 P10 John Easom: I studied at Keele back in 1980-1981. After twenty years in the Civil Service I moved on to international trade development and then finally got back to Keele in P12 P14 2005. This is the best job of my life. If I could do it wearing skates my joy would be complete. Union Square Lives Fireworks and lasers lit up the Students’ Union Building and the sky above as alumni, students, staff and local residents gathered on 28 November 2012 to witness the official lighting of the ‘Forest of Light’ P18 P32 at the heart of the campus.

Maybe it was the thrall of the place, or maybe the strange Forest airs, but in no time at all our Master at Arms had assembled a Committee quorum and secured its endorsement for the purchase of a Chapter Sword! Strangely, the reasons put forward for such a purchase evaporated from our collective Committee brain seconds after the till rang.

  • Elizabeth and Ffrancis Trentham of Rocester Abbey by Jeremy Crick
    Elizabeth and ffrancis Trentham of Rocester Abbey by Jeremy Crick Part Three of the family history of Edward de Vere Earl of Oxford’s second wife and the strategic importance of the Trentham archive in the search for Oxford’s literary fragments. Introduction When the thirty-four year old Sir Thomas Trentham (1592-1628) inherited the manors of Rocester Abbey and Castle Hedingham upon the death of his father ffrancis in 1626, there seemed every likelihood that the fortunes of the Trentham family would continue to prosper. Their wealth and influence had grown with each succeeding generation and, being the first member of the family to be knighted (at the age of just twenty-four), Sir Thomas’ future and that of his family must have seemed very bright indeed as he stepped into his father’s shoes as lord of the manor. How tragic, then, that Sir Thomas’ untimely death only two years after coming into his inheritance began a process of decline that would see the complete extinction of his family barely a generation later. The fall of the Trentham family was so sudden and complete that their very name has passed out of all knowledge among today’s inhabitants of the village of Rocester. Within thirty years of Sir Thomas’ death, the Trentham family residence of Rocester Abbey over the previous hundred and twenty years would be demolished with no vestige of it remaining today. And it’s particularly tragic that when the parish church was completely rebuilt in the early Victorian period, leaving only the tower, all of the many tombs of the Trentham family were destroyed.

It classifies the material and allots a permanent reference number to each item. The Sneyd Papers were at Keele Hall after the Second World War, when they were purchased by Mr Raymond Richards, of Gawswcrth, from Cci« Balph Sneyd (1863-1949), the family’ s last direct descendant. After adding the rescued papers to his collection Mr Richards placed the bulk of it in the John Rylands Library, on deposit. The University of Keele (then the University College of North Staffordshire) purchased most of the collection in 1957 and the Sneyd Papers therefore returned to Keele, where they are now housed in the University Library.
