    hereward and the Barony of Bourne file:///C:/EDrive/Medieval Texts/Articles/Geneaology/hereward.htm Lincolnshire History and Archaeology, 29 (1994), 7-10. Hereward 'the Wake' and the Barony of Bourne: a Reassessment of a Fenland Legend [1] Hereward, generally known as 'the Wake', is second only to Robin Hood in the pantheon of English heroes. From at least the early twelfth century his deeds were celebrated in Anglo-Norman aristocratic circles, and he was no doubt the subject of many a popular tale and song from an early period. [2] But throughout the Middle Ages Hereward's fame was local, being confined to the East Midlands and East Anglia. [3] It was only in the nineteenth century that the rebel became a truly national icon with the publication of Charles Kingsley novel Hereward the Wake .[4] The transformation was particularly Victorian: Hereward is portrayed as a prototype John Bull, a champion of the English nation. The assessment of historians has generally been more sober. Racial overtones have persisted in many accounts, but it has been tacitly accepted that Hereward expressed the fears and frustrations of a landed community under threat. Paradoxically, however, in the light of the nature of that community, the high social standing that the tradition has accorded him has been denied. [5] The earliest recorded notice of Hereward is the almost contemporary annal for 1071 in the D version of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. A Northern recension probably produced at York,[6] its account of the events in the fenland are terse. It records the plunder of Peterborough in 1070 'by the men that Bishop Æthelric [late of Durham] had excommunicated because they had taken there all that he had', and the rebellion of Earls Edwin and Morcar in the following year.

    LowC making low carbon communities happen Ofgem 9, Millbank, London SW1P 3GE You ref : 71/10 14th June 2010 Our ref : For Attention : Mr G Evans Head of Profession – Engineering Dear Sirs, 71/10 : Long Term Development Statements for Electricity Distribution Networks- Consultation on the Form of Statement. Background We thank you for the opportunity to respond to the above consultation document. LowC Communities is actively involved in CHP, distributed generation and the load connections market and also operates within both the consultancy and installation/connection environs. LowC also participate in the ongoing electricity connections debates and are active within both the Electricity Connections Steering Group (ECSG) and Metered Customers Connections Group (MCCG). Preamble 1) In the first instance it would be useful to clarify that most, if not all the DNO’s have actually separated their SLC25 Documents into 2 sections (Part 1 and Part 2). Whilst Part 1 relates to general and generic connection parameters, and is generally available on a free of charge basis from each of the DNO’s, we would point out that it actually contains little technical information that is of value to any potential network user. We would confirm that it is the Part 2 Document that is of value and actually contains the technical information that defines the system parameters and the appropriate and relevant information to enable the recipient to investigate and review the network and any associated system constraints. It is of relevance that it is the Part 2 Document that has, in the past, not always been placed in the public domain.

  • V O I C E One of the Most Beautiful Easter Hymns Is Now the Green of SOUTH LAFFORD Blade Riseth from the Buried Grain
    A very Happy Easter The Christ is risen! V O I C E One of the most beautiful Easter hymns is Now the green OF SOUTH LAFFORD blade riseth from the buried grain. It reminds us that Jesus appeared from the empty tomb, just as at this time of the year grain springs up from the ground after apparently dying in the winter earth. And it finishes by addressing Jesus: When our hearts are saddened, grieving or in pain, April/May 2015 By your touch you call us back to life again; Issue No. 125 Fields of our hearts that dead and bare have been: for and from the communities of Love is come again, like wheat that springs up green.

That’s why we are inviting everyone in the parish to a party after 10 o’clock Easter Day service at Newton – for Easter is the happiest and most hopeful day of the year for Christians. But Jesus’ victory over the forces of death were bought at a price. Our Maundy Thursday service will remember the Last Supper, when Jesus dined with his friends the last night before he died. And we shall remember the way he washed the feet of his disciples – the Lord of all acting as a servant to his people and doing a menial task.
