Many thanks to Graeme & Liz for an The first of our major events, the annual excellent day out and for re-introducing me to a Treasure Hunt, took place in April on a lovely part of Ipswich where I haven’t been for many sunny day, though it was a little blustery at times, years. More photographs of the day can be seen mainly depending on which direction the street on the FolkMog Forum under FolkMog Meetings, we were walking down faced. We met at the then Treasure Hunt. Last Anchor, a pleasant restaurant on the quayside in the Ipswich Docks. The whole docks area is being gradually rejuvenated, much of which has been completed, and it is now an attractive, bustling place with a marina and lots of shops, galleries and places to eat, as well as part of the university right on the waterfront. After coffee and a chat we set off to follow a pre-planned route around the area looking for the clues and the extra bits of information which could give us bonus points. I was pleased to see that, despite all the rebuilding and new construction, the 14th century gateway to what was the original building of my old school, Ipswich School, was still intact. Caroline & Celia setting off in determined fashion to win the Treasure Hunt Our meeting on the evening of 22nd April was held at the King’s Head, Letheringsett in north-Norfolk. Thirteen FolkMoggers gathered for an evening meal, Iain Warner in his series one and Simon and Sylvia Rayfield in their three wheeler. There should have been fifteen but unfortunately Peter & Luise Robins’ car broke down on the way so they didn’t make it. Hopefully it wasn’t anything too serious and their car is back on the road by now.

    Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office

    Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office This list summarises the Norfolk Record Office’s (NRO’s) holdings of parish (Church of England) registers and of transcripts and other copies of them. Parish Registers The NRO holds registers of baptisms, marriages, burials and banns of marriage for most parishes in the Diocese of Norwich (including Suffolk parishes in and near Lowestoft in the deanery of Lothingland) and part of the Diocese of Ely in south-west Norfolk (parishes in the deanery of Fincham and Feltwell). Some Norfolk parish records remain in the churches, especially more recent registers, which may be still in use. In the extreme west of the county, records for parishes in the deanery of Wisbech Lynn Marshland are deposited in the Wisbech and Fenland Museum, whilst Welney parish records are at the Cambridgeshire Record Office. The covering dates of registers in the following list do not conceal any gaps of more than ten years; for the populous urban parishes (such as Great Yarmouth) smaller gaps are indicated. Whenever microfiche or microfilm copies are available they must be used in place of the original registers, some of which are unfit for production. A few parish registers have been digitally photographed and the images are available on computers in the NRO's searchroom. The digital images were produced as a result of partnership projects with other groups and organizations, so we are not able to supply copies of whole registers (either as hard copies or on CD or in any other digital format), although in most cases we have permission to provide printout copies of individual entries.

    A Strategy for Identifying Introduced Provenances and Translocations*

    A strategy for identifying introduced provenances and translocations* C. FERRIS1, A. J. DAVY2 AND G. M. HEWITT2 Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/forestry/article/70/3/211/543878 by guest on 29 September 2021 1 Department of Botany, University of Leicester, University Road, Leicester, LEI 7RH, England 2 School of Biological Sciences, University of East Anglia, Norwich, Norfolk, NR4 7TL, England Summary Native species of oak in Britain have been of great importance in our history for their many uses, and have thus been subject to management and planting by man for centuries. Following events such as the Enclosure Acts of the late eighteenth century and the Napoleonic wars, many oaks would have been planted. Translocations and introductions of foreign genotypes were greatly encouraged by early landscape gardeners such as Capability Brown. Britain must, there- fore be a mosaic of native and non-native oaks. A major problem arises when we try to identify non-native trees. Due to their long life-cycle, oaks are of necessity both phenotypically plastic and genetically very variable and it has been virtually impossible to discriminate between native and non-native forms using traditional methods. The advent of new molecular genetic techniques however, now allows us to identify DNA markers that can distinguish between such forms. The geographic patterns for two chloroplast DNA markers will be presented. One clearly differentiates between oaks from eastern Europe versus western Europe and can be used to identify translocations of eastern European oaks into Britain and western Europe. The second identifies genotypes native to East Anglia and can be used to recognize translocations into and out of East Anglia.

  • Electoral Review of Breckland Council Proposal for a Warding Pattern

    Electoral Review of Breckland Council Proposal for a Warding Pattern

    Electoral Review of Breckland Council Proposal for a warding pattern across Breckland Council to support a Council size of 50 Councillors September 2013 Breckland Council Page 1 05/09/13 Introduction The Council was pleased to receive notification from the Local Government Boundary Commission that the Council’s submission for a council size of 50 had been adopted. The Commission has now asked for submissions proposing Warding patterns that reflect this change. Any group or individual is able to put forward suggestions on Warding patterns for the district. The Local Government Boundary Commission for England will consider all submissions and propose a warding pattern for the district. The Council’s proposals follow the process undertaken by the Working Group of six councillors set up for the purpose of in-depth research into the issues relating to council size and warding. This is a cross- party group with members spread across the district. Guidance issued by the Local Government Boundary Commission suggests that three main rules are followed when a new pattern of wards are produced. They are: Delivering electoral equality for local voters – this means ensuring that each local councillor represents roughly the same number of people so that the value of your vote is the same regardless of where you live in the local authority. Reflecting the interests and identities of local communities – this means establishing electoral arrangements which, as far as possible, maintain local ties and where boundaries are easily identifiable. Promoting effective and convenient local government – this means ensuring that the new wards or electoral divisions can be represented effectively by their elected representative(s) and that the new electoral arrangements as a whole allow the local authority to conduct is business effectively.

    RECONSIDERING TUSK and BONE: an ANALYSIS of the FORMS, FUNCTIONS and PERCEPTIONS of ANGLO-SAXON IVORIES, C.500-1066 Three Volumes, Vol

    RECONSIDERING TUSK AND BONE: AN ANALYSIS OF THE FORMS, FUNCTIONS AND PERCEPTIONS OF ANGLO-SAXON IVORIES, c.500-1066 Three Volumes, Vol. I Lyndsey Smith, BA MA PhD University of York History of Art September 2015 Abstract It is the purpose of this thesis to reconsider the ivories of early medieval England with an in-depth analysis drawing on various disciplinary approaches. The last extensive published scholarly work on these ivories was that produced over forty years ago by John Beckwith (Ivory Carvings in Early Medieval England, 1972). Since then there has been little in the way of scholarly investigation of these objects beyond occasional studies of individual ivories in the form of articles or as entries in catalogues of museum collections – or even more rarely, as a passing mention within monographs on Anglo-Saxon art in general. While Beckwith’s publication was, by comparison, comprehensive in its coverage, there were, nevertheless, some ivories that were not included – in some cases because they have come to light since 1972. Generally speaking, however, the scholarly trend has been to consider the ivories of Anglo-Saxon England only in relation to continental workshops (namely, Carolingian, Merovingian or Italian centres of production), and most discussions of them has been from a formalist art historical point of view, concentrating on style rather than materiality or iconography. Such approaches fail to acknowledge the full potential of the ivories. To remedy this situation, this thesis will situate the publication and collection of Anglo-Saxon ivories between 1850-2015 as a means of explaining the nature of the scholarship as it exists today.
