  • An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: with a Catalogue of Artefacts
    An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: With a catalogue of artefacts By Esme Nadine Hookway A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MRes Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham March 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract The Anglo-Saxon period spanned over 600 years, beginning in the fifth century with migrations into the Roman province of Britannia by peoples’ from the Continent, witnessing the arrival of Scandinavian raiders and settlers from the ninth century and ending with the Norman Conquest of a unified England in 1066. This was a period of immense cultural, political, economic and religious change. The archaeological evidence for this period is however sparse in comparison with the preceding Roman period and the following medieval period. This is particularly apparent in regions of western England, and our understanding of Shropshire, a county with a notable lack of Anglo-Saxon archaeological or historical evidence, remains obscure. This research aims to enhance our understanding of the Anglo-Saxon period in Shropshire by combining multiple sources of evidence, including the growing body of artefacts recorded by the Portable Antiquity Scheme, to produce an over-view of Shropshire during the Anglo-Saxon period.

  • Two Lost Place-Names in the West Midlands: Gaia in Lichfield and the Gay in Shrewsbury
    Two lost place-names in the west Midlands: Gaia in Lichfield and The Gay in Shrewsbury Richard Coates University of the West of England, Bristol The purpose of this article is to note the existence of two, or probably three, related unexplained names, to present possible further examples of the element involved, and to review how far it is possible to explain them. * The name of the piece of land called The Gay on the eastern (right) bank of the Severn in Shrewsbury is no longer mapped or in general use, but it survived until recently in the name of the stadium of Shrewsbury Town football club, Gay Meadow, whose land was sold off for housing development in 2007-14.1 Hobbs (1954: 53, 122) reflected the general view when he said that the location of Gay Meadow represented the “lower Gay” whilst the “Gay proper” was adjacent, but in the vicinity of the present Whitehall Street, north-east of Shrewsbury Abbey. He also stated (1954: 53) that “Shrewsbury antiquaries have long argued the respective merits of derivation of this name from the Welsh and French (vide Shropshire Notes and Queries), but it would seem to be due to Norman influence.” This is not quite clear, but I do not think that what it seems to imply can be right, as there is no (Anglo-) Norman word that is plausibly relevant. The documentary record of The Gay, starting around 1237, was set out by Margaret Gelling in PN Shropshire (4: 76-77). She dismissed two earlier connections speculatively made (1) by Ekwall (DEPN: 194 and 207) with names such as Gayton, Gaydon, Guist, and given by him a rather improbable etymology involving an Old English verb gǣgan ‘to turn aside’ or a hypothetical river- or personal name derived from it; and (2) by herself, with two farms called Jay in Shropshire.
