It revealed an incomplete skeleton of a baby but contained no dateable finds. From its form, it is likely that the structure is a house of Iron Age date but is possibly a small levelled round barrow of Bronze Age date.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indica+ion that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs” if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

    The Parish Church of St

    The Parish Church of St. Michael the Archangel, Mere Meeting of the Parochial Church Council with Archdeacon Alan Jeans held on Tuesday 6 July at 3pm in The Grove Buildings 1. Opening: Jean opened the meeting with a prayer. 2. Present: Archdeacon Alan Jeans, Hamish Bell, Judy Bickerstaff, Barry Clarke, Sherry Dixon, Derek Fisher, Jane Hurd, Pat Isom, Jean Knapp, Isabel Page, John Page, Julia Rankin, Nicky Ravenhill (notes), Kit Stallard, Lesley Traves, Richard Wilson. Apologies: Christine Marsh. 3. Jean Knapp welcomed The Venerable Alan Jeans, Archdeacon of Sarum to the meeting and congratulated him on his recent award of the MBE. Archdeacon Alan Jeans outlined his work with the Bishops of Salisbury and Ramsbury and his pastoral oversight over 100 parishes and 60 clergy across a large area of the Diocese. Archdeacon Jeans welcomed an open agenda and explained he was very happy to discuss Mere and PCC business, and would be dealing with the vacancy/future options as a whole Benefice as he was legally obliged to do. He will be meeting with the PCC of Maiden Bradley next week and is to get a meeting with the West Knoyle PCC in the diary. There is also an aspiration to meet with the Churchwardens and possibly the Treasurers of the three PCC’s in the future. Archdeacon Jeans thanked the PCC for the paper sent to him in advance, which included some helpful information for him and also some assumptions to address. With a potential deficit of £3.5m following a £1.5m deficit at the end of 2020, alongside a £2.5m Covid-19 loan drawn down to start to repay in September, there is no option to “do nothing”.
  • Coin Register 2010

    Coin Register 2010

    Available online at http://britnumsoc.org/publications/Digital%20BNJ/2010.shtml COIN REGISTER 2010 EDITED BY MARTIN ALLEN AND SAM MOORHEAD THE Coin Register provides a platform for the publication of unusual and remarkable single coin fi nds from Britain and Ireland. All Celtic, pre-conquest Roman, Roman silver prior to AD 64, Roman gold and late Roman silver coins from the fourth century onwards are welcomed, as are Anglo-Saxon, Norman or Plantagenet coins and their continental contem- poraries (down to and including the Cross-and-Crosslets (Tealby) type of Henry II), and most later medieval continental coins. However, coins outside these categories will still be consid- ered for their numismatic interest. As always, the essential criterion for inclusion will be that the coin is new, by virtue of either being newly found or (if previously discovered) being hitherto unpublished. Single fi nds from archaeological excavations may be included if it seems that there would otherwise be a considerable delay in publication. Celtic material should be sent in the fi rst instance to Ian Leins, Department of Coins and Medals, British Museum, London WC1B 3DG ([email protected]). Finds of Greek and Roman coins should be notifi ed to Sam Moorhead, Finds Adviser, Iron Age and Roman coins, Portable Antiquities Scheme, c/o Department of Coins and Medals, British Museum, London WC1B 3DG ([email protected]). Other material should be sent to Dr Martin Allen, Department of Coins and Medals, Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge CB2 1RB ([email protected]). Contributors K.H. Katie Hinds D.H. David Holman R.A.A.
