  • An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: with a Catalogue of Artefacts
    An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: With a catalogue of artefacts By Esme Nadine Hookway A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MRes Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham March 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract The Anglo-Saxon period spanned over 600 years, beginning in the fifth century with migrations into the Roman province of Britannia by peoples’ from the Continent, witnessing the arrival of Scandinavian raiders and settlers from the ninth century and ending with the Norman Conquest of a unified England in 1066. This was a period of immense cultural, political, economic and religious change. The archaeological evidence for this period is however sparse in comparison with the preceding Roman period and the following medieval period. This is particularly apparent in regions of western England, and our understanding of Shropshire, a county with a notable lack of Anglo-Saxon archaeological or historical evidence, remains obscure. This research aims to enhance our understanding of the Anglo-Saxon period in Shropshire by combining multiple sources of evidence, including the growing body of artefacts recorded by the Portable Antiquity Scheme, to produce an over-view of Shropshire during the Anglo-Saxon period.

  • The Parish Post
    Number 100 Number 2019 Feb The Parish Post Welcome to the Hundredth Edition of the Parish Post he Parish Post was set up in 2009 in response to local people’s wishes for better T communication, which had been identified in the Clunbury Parish Plan of 2009. A group of volunteers got together, happily with a range of different skills - including writing, editing, desk -top publishing, local knowledge and contacts (and strong walking shoes!) - and produced a highly professional, black and white, first edition. It did have an email address though, so people had the option of reading it on line (please take this option if you can as it saves money) and, from day one, it had its very own website. One thing was very evident in the first edition – the Parish Post would only succeed with its readers’ help. A clear request went out for ‘content’ – what’s going on in your village, what’s made you laugh, what events are coming up, do you have a story to tell? And if you look at this 100 th edition, you’ll see that the recipe still holds good – only now we fill up 6 or 8 pages, rather than the original four! So what do readers think about the Post? Well, we’re glad to say that nearly 98% of people who responded to questions in the 2015 Parish Plan Review both enjoyed reading it, and thought it was useful. Comments included: “Keeps people in touch with what’s going on in the Parish. It’s got a bit of everything”.

We are very happy that the hall is used almost every day of the week, by either Clunbury Under Fives or Clunbury Primary School. The committee have been meeting regularly, and have discussed plans to start an occasional Youth Club. The hall is very lucky to have been donated a projection screen, and the committee has formulated ideas of hosting the occasional film night. The current favourite idea is a viewing of The Italian Job, with pizza! We are applying for an ‘Awards for All‘ Grant that would pay for the projector that is needed for the film nights. There is no shortage of good ideas on using the hall, but what the committee Clunbury Carol Singers lacks is the time to organise them. All the large group of singers, old & young, members have young families and work A braved the icy weather on commitments. They would welcome any Wednesday evening before Christmas to additional volunteers who would like to sing carols around Clunbury.
