  • Single Finds of Anglo-Saxon and Norman Coins - 2
    SINGLE FINDS OF ANGLO-SAXON AND NORMAN COINS - 2 M. A. S. BLACKBURN AND M. J. BONSER THIS article is a sequel to that which appeared in volume 54 of this Journal. Information about the seventy-five coins published here was gathered mainly during 1985 and early 1986. Some fifty coins, single finds from a major site near Royston, have been reserved for separate publication. As in the first article, there is a bias towards finds from the eastern counties, which partly reflects the strength of our contacts with metal-detector users there (this is particularly true of Lincolnshire and Leicestershire), although the eastern region is perhaps the most productive part of the country for single finds. The finds are arranged by site alphabetically, and numbered in sequence. The issues or issuers represented are as follows: Sceattas 3-5, 10, 15, 17, Edmund 55? 20-1, 27-8, 30, Eadred 55? 35-6, 47, 61-2, Edgar 33 65, 74 Edward the Martyr 60 Eadbert Praen of Kent 71 /Ethelred II 2,11,34,46,53 Archbishop /Ethelheard 73 Cnut 52 Eadwald of East Anglia 51, 66 Harthacnut 24, 57 Offa of Mercia 19, 67 Harold I 9, 25, 37 Coenwulf of Mercia 48, 72 Edward the Confessor 1, 13, 18, 31, Beornwulf of Mercia 75 38, 41 Berhtwulf of Mercia 32 William I 8, 54, 70 /Ethelred II of Northumbria 68-9 William II 6 Cnut, Viking k. of York 63 Henry I 14, 26, 45, 58 St Peter coinage 29 Stephen 7, 16, 39, 40, Egbert of Wessex 23 42, 59, 64 Edward the Elder 49 Henry II 12, 22, 43-4 Athelstan 50 French feudal 56 The coins illustrated on the accompanying plates are indicated by an asterisk before the number.

  • The Wembley Park Story – Part 1 Philip Grant, of Wembley History Society, Begins a New Weekly Series
    The Wembley Park Story – Part 1 Philip Grant, of Wembley History Society, begins a new weekly series. Long before Wembley Park, there was Wembley. Wemba lea (Wemba’s clearing) was first recorded in a document in AD825. My fellow local historian, Len Snow, enjoyed saying that football fans, with their chants when going to the Stadium, were singing its correct name. The clearing is thought to have been just north of the Harrow Road (in the Triangle / Wembley Hill Road area). But who was Wemba? Probably one of the many immigrants, known as Saxons, who crossed the North Sea in the 7th or 8th century. Although some were invaders, most came with their families to start a new life as farmers in southern England. Wemba’s lea was in Middlesex (the land of the middle Saxons), and in 825 was part of around 12,000 acres in Harrow given by King Beornwulf of Mercia to Wulfred, Archbishop of Canterbury. This was to make up for land that had been stolen from him by the previous King! 1. A Saxon farmer, and extract from a map depicting this area in Saxon times. (Images from the internet) As Wembley was just a tiny settlement then, within the much larger Parish of Harrow, there is little in the way of records about it for the next few centuries. By the 1100s, there was a slightly larger number of people living nearby in Tokyngton (the farm of Tocca’s sons), and it had a chapel. The parish church was at Harrow-on-the-Hill, so Wembley’s farmers were saved the longer walk to Sunday services.

    Ellandun Trophy in partnership with Advance 2016 Summer Programme Insta @oxoncb Oxfordshire Cricket oxfordshirecricket Oxfordshire Cricket www.oxfordshire.cricket Welcome to the 2016 summer programme The Ellandun Festival represents the start of the summer fixtures programme for the Wessex and Mercia Development squads. It is a long awaited opportunity for players to express the cricketing skills that they have dedicated the winter to developing under the passionate guidance of their coaches. We are incredibly proud of the festival and the role it plays in the development of our players. The diversity of formats forces players to adapt their skills in a variety of contexts and the Wessex/ Mercia split brings with it a competitive rivalry. It also provides a platform for players to put together performances as they push for selection for the Saxons (best of development) tours and County Squads. We hope you all have a fantastic week, enjoying your cricket whilst developing your game in a match environment. I look forward to seeing some of you throughout the week.

The more we examine the numerous references to be found concerning the Lost Literature of Medieval England, the more we recognise their importance in any general survey of the literature of this period. The point has been stressed by Professor Chambers and further research on the subject has but justified his words. In the following article further examples of works in the vernacular are noted which, for the most part, have disappeared leaving little trace of their existence. But it can be definitely proved that these works once existed and their existence may throw a new light on many of the problems of Medieval vernacular literature. The work of Alfred the Great in the sphere of literature is usually regarded as being amongst the earliest of its kind in English, and Professor Chambers has shown conclusively that it is from the prose of Alfred that modern English prose is descended. But it is as well to remember that, in his use of vernacular prose as a means towards the education of his people, Alfred had been anticipated by an earlier and a greater scholar. In the account of the death of Bede, written by one of his disciples, we read how, on the day of his death, he was engaged in the translation of the Gospel of St.

    Celt and Saxon: Interaction in pre-Viking Britain, c.600-800 Volume II by Martin R. Grimmer, B.Sc. (Hons), M.Psych.Org . Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Tasmania November 2003 368 Part 3 Mercia and the Britons of Wales 369 Chapter 10 Mapping the Territory of the Mercians and Britons of Wales Mercians and Angles of the West Midlands In contrast to the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of Wessex and Northumbria, there exists no early medieval origin legend for the formation of the kingdom of Mercia, nor even one for the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons in the West Midlands. I Later kings of Mercia claimed descent from semi-legendary figures who hailed from the Continent — as exemplified in the genealogy of /Ethelred found in the Anglian Collection, 2 and in Felix's Life of St Guthlac. 3 However, no surviving narrative provides any basis for explaining when and in what circumstances Anglo-Saxons made their way into the region. This is a result of the general lack of primary source material that has survived from Mercia.4 There are no native annals or narrative histories. Though the Anglo- Saxon Chronicle and Bede's Historia ecclesiastica provide some information, neither displays much interest in, or knowledge of, the early history of the region. 5 Bede did not list a single Mercian amongst his informants, 6 and appears to have gained his information indirectly through the Northumbrian monastery of Lastingham, which had supplied an early bishop for Mercia. 7 I P.
