The bombings of the Horse and Groom Surrey Walking Club. and the Seven Stars public houses in Guildford by the IRA took place on 5 October 1974. Five people died and at least sixty-five people were In a year of profound economic gloom, some accessions recalled earlier injured. Some 46 people were arrested and four were found guilty of the periods of crisis, when the very survival of the nation appeared to be 5 in question. The Godley Hundred Yeomanry was formed in 1803 by Edgell Wyatt when war with Napoleon’s France had broken out again and at a time when “everything which is dear to us is threatened with annihilation by the implacable enemy of mankind”. This troop of volunteer cavalrymen, decked out in dark blue, silver-trimmed uniforms, aimed to ensure domestic peace and thwart any invasion. A minute and account book document their activities through to their dissolution in 1824. In 1914, when Britain was again faced with global war, many large houses were requisitioned as temporary war hospitals. Clandon Park Military Hospital opened on 14 October 1914 and was equipped by Lord and Lady Onslow as a first line hospital, receiving casualties from the front and staffed by a matron, a theatre sister, five sisters in charge of wards, three staff nurses and members of the Voluntary Aid Detachment. Letters sent to Lord and Lady Onslow document the difficulties of running such an establishment. Local civilians were called on again when war broke out in 1939. Helen Lloyd (1899-1977) of Albury became Women’s Voluntary Service Centre Organiser in Guildford Rural District, overseeing the billeting of evacuated children and the reception of exhausted soldiers returning from Dunkirk. The ten volumes of her diary cover the years 1940 to 1945 and are particularly detailed for the period 1940-41 when the fear of invasion and the possibility of defeat haunted the country. We have also been active in salerooms. In July, with assistance from Surrey Archaeological Society, Surrey History Trust and Guildford Museum, we acquired two beautiful volumes of engravings, printed ephemera and original drawings and watercolours of Guildford and its environs, compiled by the bookseller Thomas Thorp of Guildford. In November, aided by the Friends of the National Libraries and Surrey History Trust, we purchased two 18th century surveys containing meticulous, hand drawn maps of the estates of the Clayton family of Marden Park in Woldingham, covering over 10,000 acres in eastern Surrey. Guildford Bridge, watercolour by anonymous artist, c.1800, SHC: 8877/1/327 6 Archive conservation and preservation Our conservators have also repaired 52 maps relating to the implementation of the 1910 Finance Act. The Act was one of Lloyd George’s measures in his 1909 ‘People’s Budget’ to raise revenue through Ensuring the long term preservation of our collections is one of taxing increases in property value. Detailed maps and schedules were our chief concerns. Damaged documents are repaired by our skilled compiled recording owners, occupiers, property details and values – conservators so they can be consulted. Such work requires scientific rather like a 20th century Domesday Survey. The maps arrived from local knowledge of the composition of paper and other record media over the valuation offices having suffered from decades of rough handling and centuries and superb craft skills. Our work this year included the repair have required extensive repair. of the first male case book for the Manor Hospital in Epsom covering the years 1899 to 1901, which had been badly damaged by damp.

One of the great challenges facing archives internationally is preserving records in digital formats, when software and hardware become obsolete so quickly. This year we have begun working in partnership with The National Archives in a pilot project to preserve through the Internet Memory Foundation websites of significance for the history of the County.

COUNCIL NEWS Moated site, South Parit, Grayswood. Discussions relating to the proposed gift of the Scheduled Ancient Monument by the owner to the Society, first reported in Bulletin 253, are progressing well. Present proposals envisage the Society ultimately acquiring the freehold of the site, part of which would be leased to the Surrey Wildlife Trust. The Society would be responsible for maintaining the site and arranging for limited public access. It now seems probable that this exciting project will become a reality and a small committee has been formed to investigate and advise Council on the complexities involved. Council has expressed sincere and grateful thanks to the owner of South Park for her generosity. Castle Training Dig. Guildford Borough Council has approved a second season of excavation at the Castle, which will take place between the 8th and 28th July 1991. Those interested in taking part should complete the form enclosed with this issue of the Bulletin and return it to the Society.

Between these markers in London’s history, which span some 300 years, we see the arrival, ascendancy and subsequent dominance of Saxon migrants over the indigenous population of Romano-Celts. An important aspect of this event, the mechanics of which have yet to be fully understood and explained, was the replacement of the native language by Anglo-Saxon (Old English). The authority of ‘English’ over the native tongue is most evident in the distribution of Saxon place-names across England, which predominate over names of Roman or Celtic origin. This is well evident in the London region, where few names reflect a Romano-Celtic past. Yet archaeology has shown the abundance of Roman settlement activity around London. On the Surrey side, settlement activity has been located at a number of places, such as Croydon, Merton, Carshalton, Beddington, Putney and Peckham. Most likely these settlements were recognised by their own particular name, along with others places that are suggested by the scatter of Roman pottery, coin and tile etc., found across this part of London.

The first of these, in 1994, was arranged when consideration was being given by Surrey County Council to the possibility of redevelopment of all or part of the area shown as sampled on fig 1. The area was believed to be of high archaeological potential because of the known presence of a major Roman building on the common just to the west (Sibthorpe 1829) and the presence of an 18th century farm at the north end of the site, which was believed to have medieval antecedents (Jones 1995). This initial evaluation found little evidence for the latter, but did find an extensive spread of Roman material. These results were an important consideration in a subsequent review of the development possibilities. There are no current (October 1999) proposals for development of the northern part of the area.
