Skillington (Executive Secretary) Miss Veronica Wykes 9 NINETY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT, 1953 Six general meetings of the Society were held, at five of which papers were read: 30 January Rev. S. E. Copp: "The Document in the Bottle". 27 March J. Walton, Esq., M.A.; "The Development of Industry and Trade Combination in Eighteenth-Century Leicester". 17 April Annual General Meeting, at the Newarke Houses Museum. 8 May Rev. T. M. Parker, M.A.: "William of Ockham and English Kingship". 25 September C. R. Clinker, Esq.: "The Leicester and Swannington Railway". 27 November Norman Searle, Esq., M.A.: "The Brothers Freer in the Peninsular War". Three excursions were held. The first, on 16 June, was attended by some thirty members and their friends, and was to Castle Ashby and Wellingborough. The party first inspected Castle Ashby House, which, by the courtesy of the Marquess of Northampton, was open specially for them that afternoon. So this exceptionally fine and interesting house was seen to the best advantage. The company then proceeded to the Hind hotel, Wellingborough, where Mrs. Muriel Duncan entertained them to tea. Afterwards members saw Miss Rowlett's beautiful garden and viewed the parish church under the guidance of the vicar, the Rev. M. M. Clarke. Mr. Anthony Herbert proposed a vote of thanks to Mrs. Duncan for her hospitality and to Mr. Clarke and others concerned in organising this very pleasant outing. The second excursion, on 15 July to Melton Mowbray, took a more unusual form. Members assembled at Melton church, where Mr. P. C. Shelbourn gave a detailed account of the building. He then showed the members the sevententh-century Bede Houses. Tea was served at the Brownlow Primary School, and afterwards the Society was joined in the school hall by a large number of guests from the Melton area. Sir Robert Martin gave one of his delightful addresses on the history and work of the Society and Mr. J. E. Brownlow delivered an informed and lively talk on the Melton Mowbray Town Lands. Votes of thanks to the speakers, the chairman, and the organisers, were proposed and cordially endorsed. On 3 September the members visited Stapleford Park and were shown over the house and the church by Lord and Lady Gretton, to whom Mr. C. L. Wykes expressed the Society's gratitude. After tea, at the Crown hotel, Oakham, members were received at the Chapel of St. John and St. Anne, Oakham, by the Rev. Canon G. E. Britten on behalf of the vicar of Oakham, and a short time was spent looking over this remnant of the medieval hospital. Col. Packe voiced the company's thanks to Canon Britten and the organisers. 10 LEICESTERSHIRE ARCH£0LOGICAL SOCIETY At the Annual General Meeting Sir Robert Martin was elected President of the Society in succession to the late Professor A. Hamilton Thompson. Later in the year Miss R. Bennett found it necessary to resign the office of Librarian, which she kindly undertook as a temporary measure when Capt. Irvine left Leicester in 1950. The Committee has recorded its appreciation of her services. Among those who resigned their membership of the Society was the Right Rev. Dr. Guy Vernon Smith, on his resignation of the see of Leicester. Ten other members resigned or died. On the other hand 21 new members were elected, two associate members, and one associated institution. In the late summer, the Committee of the Society sponsored a local appeal for funds to assist the restoration of Staunton Harold church. A sum of £56 7s. was collected. The Committee has been considering the arrangements to be made for celebrating the centenary of the Society's foundation in 1955. A specially­ appointed Centenary Sub-Committee has drawn up a programme, which has been approved by the main Committee, and the detailed arrangements are now in course of preparation.

Work on electrifying the Midland Main Line, the vital long-distance corridor that serves the UK’s industrial heartland, will continue alongside the line-speed and capacity improvement works that were already in hand. Electrification of the line north of Bedford to Kettering and Corby is scheduled to be completed by 2019, and the line north of Kettering to Leicester, Derby/Nottingham and Sheffield by 2023. Outputs The Midland Main line Electrification Programme known as the MMLe is split into two key output dates, the first running from 2014-2019 (known as CP5) and the second, 2019-2023 (CP6). There are a number of sub projects running under the main MMLe programme which are delivering various improvements in the Leicestershire area. Each sub project has dependencies with each other to enable the full ES001- Midland Main Line electrification programme to be achieved A number of interfaces and assumptions link to these programmes and their sub projects will affect Leicestershire.

  • Records Ofearfvq English Drama
    1980 :1 A newsletter published by University of Toronto Press in association with Erindale College, University of Toronto and Manchester University Press . JoAnna Dutka, editor Records ofEarfvq English Drama In this issue are Ian Lancashire's biennial bibliography of books and articles on records of drama and minstrelsy, and A .F. Johnston's list of errata and disputed readings of names in the York volumes. IAN LANCASHIRE Annotated bibliography of printed records of early British drama and minstrelsy for 1978-9 This list includes publications up to 1980 that concern records of performers and performance, but it does not notice material treating play-texts or music as such, and general or unannotated bibliographies . Works on musical, antiquarian, local, and even archaeological history figure as large here as those on theatre history . The format of this biennial bibliography is similar to that of Harrison T . Meserole's computerized Shakespeare bibliography. Literary journal titles are abbreviated as they appear in the annual MLA bibliography . My annotations are not intended to be evaluative ; they aim to abstract concisely records information or arguments and tend to be fuller for items presenting fresh evidence than for items analyzing already published records . I have tried to render faithfully the essentials of each publica- tion, but at times I will have missed the point or misstated it: for these errors I ask the indulgence of both author and user . Inevitably I will also have failed to notice some relevant publications, for interesting information is to be found in the most unlikely titles; my search could not be complete, and I was limited practically in the materials available to me up to January 1980.

  • Capability Brown at Castle Ashby
    Capability Brown at Castle Ashby Capability Brown Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown (1716-1783) was born in the Northumberland village of Kirkharle, and went on to popularise the English landscape style, advising on over 250 large country estates throughout England and Wales. Formal gardens gave way to naturalistic parkland of trees, expanses of water and rolling grass. He also designed great houses, churches and garden buildings, and was skilled in engineering, especially with water. This guide was created as part of a festival celebrating the 300th Aerial view of the landscape at Castle Ashby © Northamptonshire Gardens Trust anniversary of his birth.
