  • Earwigs (Dermaptera) from the Mesozoic of England and Australia, Described from Isolated Tegmina, Including the First Species To
    Earth and Environmental Science Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, 107, 129–143, 2017 Earwigs (Dermaptera) from the Mesozoic of England and Australia, described from isolated tegmina, including the first species to be named from the Triassic Richard S. Kelly,1,2 Andrew J. Ross,2,4 and Edmund A. Jarzembowski3,4 1 School of Earth Sciences, University of Bristol, Life Sciences Building, Tyndall Street, Bristol BS8 1TH, UK. 2 Department of Natural Sciences, National Museum of Scotland, Chambers Street, Edinburgh EH1 1JF, UK. 3 State Key Laboratory of Palaeobiology and Stratigraphy, Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Nanjing 210008, China. 4 Department of Earth Sciences, Natural History Museum, London SW7 5BD, UK. ABSTRACT: Dermaptera (earwigs) are described from the Triassic of Australia and England, and from the Jurassic and Cretaceous of England. Phanerogramma heeri (Giebel) is transferred from Coleoptera and it and Brevicula gradus Whalley are re-described. Seven new taxa are named based on tegmina: Phanerogramma australis sp. nov. and P. dunstani sp. nov. from the Late Triassic of Australia; P. gouldsbroughi sp. nov. from the Triassic/Jurassic of England; Brevicula maculata sp. nov. and Trivenapteron moorei gen. et sp. nov. from the Early Jurassic of England; and Dimapteron corami gen et sp.nov.andValdopteron woodi gen. et sp. nov. from the Early Cretaceous of England. Phanerogramma, Dimapteron and Valdopteron are tentatively placed in the family Dermapteridae, and Trivenapteron is incertae sedis. Most of the specimens of Phanerogramma heeri are from the Brodie Collection and labelled ‘Lower Lias’; however, some were collected from the underlying Penarth Group, thus this species spans the Triassic/Jurassic boundary.

  • The Methodist Circuit of Gloucestershire (07/07) Circuit Preaching Plan – Autumn Quarter 2017
    THE METHODIST CIRCUIT OF GLOUCESTERSHIRE (07/07) CIRCUIT PREACHING PLAN – AUTUMN QUARTER 2017 Circuit Office: Northgate Hall, St John’s Lane, Gloucester, GL1 2AN T: 01452 415769 | E: [email protected] PASTORAL LETTER from the Superintendent Dear Friends, Woolaston Methodist Church, a chapel at the southern end of the Forest of Dean, has just celebrated their 150th Anniversary with a wonderful flower festival, which also marked the achievement of updating their premises so as to serve and connect better with their community. Their chapel started perhaps, like many, with a group of local folk inspired by neighbouring or travelling Methodists and their preachers to gather in fellowship, initially in a house, before five members bought some land for £3 18s. On this land in 1867 the chapel was built at a cost of £98 6s, being mostly borrowed money that needed to be paid back at the rate of £3 10s pa. Given the prevailing impetus for mission, the investment and risk paid off, for by the 1890s the chapel had become too small, with by then more than a 100 people were attending on Sunday evenings. They were served by preachers who spent their Sunday hours travelling long distances on foot in order to take the Sunday services within their local Circuit (perhaps putting into context our complaints at times about the distances involved in our present Circuit!). Consequently, more land was bought and stones laid for an extension on May 8th, 1893. The Dean Forest Mercury reported that people gathered at 3 o’clock, for “a most earnest and practical address by Revd R Lush of Pillowell” (hopefully all our preaching is still “earnest and practical”!).

  • Hazleton, Gloucestershire, to C.1600 by Christopher Dyer and David Aldred 2009, Vol
    From the Transactions of the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society Changing Landscape and Society in a Cotswold Village: Hazleton, Gloucestershire, to c.1600 by Christopher Dyer and David Aldred 2009, Vol. 127, 233-268 © The Society and the Author(s) 230524 08 233-268 5/2/10 14:06 Page 233 Trans. Bristol & Gloucestershire Archaeological Society 127 (2009), 233 –268 Changing Landscape and Society in a Cotswold Village: Hazleton, Gloucestershire, to c.1600 By CHRISTOPHER DYER and DAVID ALDRED How and why did past landscapes and settlements change? This study subjects a section of Cotswold countryside to close examination in the expectation that basic questions can be answered about the formation of territories and units of landholding, the origin and decay of settlements (villages, hamlets and farms) in different periods, especially the creation and desertion of medieval villages, and the shifts in the use and management of land. 1 It will describe the changes and put forward some explanations of the choices made, bearing in mind the physical environment and the social and economic constraints and opportunities. The Cotswold village of Hazleton was chosen for study because it offered a means of advancing our knowledge of settlement and landscape in the long term, focussing on the medieval period. Hazleton presents a number of puzzles; for example the lack of a well-defined settlement core suggests a chequered past. The village also offered chances for research, as it contains some old buildings, with patches of earthworks from abandoned structures among its irregularly-spaced groups of houses, while much of the surrounding farmland was cultivated and available for fieldwalking.
