The Times on March 18, 2006 Holy Grail ‘Clue’ at Stately Home
Magnum Opus: the search for the Heart (Cardo) or real Self. by Peter Welsford. INTRODUCTION Shugborough Hall, Lichfield The enigma of Shugborough Hall originally surfaced in 1982, grabbing the attention of the same very large public as had been originally alerted, through the publication of The Holy Blood & Holy Grail by Henry Lincoln and others ~ the first international best-seller to introduce seriously, the mystery of Rennes le-Chateau the little village in the South of France ~ as a direct result of the discovery of the strange parchments in that church by Saunière, the French Catholic priest. There is a brief reference in that book to „the imposing marble bas-relief‟ in the grounds of Shugborough and a full page photograph (p.158), showing the engraving of a copy of the ancient Nicholas Poussin painting in the marble, bearing the following caption: “„The Shepherds‟ Monument, Shugborough Hall, Staffs. This is an eighteenth century copy of Poussin‟s „Les Bergers d‟Arcadia‟ reversed, mirror fashion. The inscription has never been deciphered‟. Yet carrying the mysterious motif with its: Et In Arcadia Ego, ~ written on the tomb, ~ the same as had been seen on the ground, near Rennes le-Chateau. For those unfamiliar with this saga ~it is briefly stated in the book that „formerly a bishop‟s residence, Shugborough (close to Lichfield Cathedral) was purchased by the Ansons in 1697 (the Lichfield line having become extinct, it was bought in the early nineteenth century by the Anson family: now the present Earls of Lichfield.)‟ When a member of that family died in 1762, it was reported that an elegiac poem was read aloud in Parliamenthaving these first and last lines, in a stanza of the poem: Upon that storied marble cast thine eye .

Final Draft Rugeley Town Centre
Conservation Area Appraisal Rugeley Town Centre 1. Introduction This document seeks to provide a clear definition of the special architectural or historic interest that warranted designation of Rugeley town centre as a Conservation Area through a written appraisal of its character and appearance – what matters and why. It is intended as a guide upon which to base the form and style of future development in the area as it continues to evolve. An Appraisal was produced for Rugeley following Conservation Area designation in 1973, and updated in 2000. The current document again updates its predecessors, making use of some information contained therein. Rugeley Town Centre Conservation Area was designated in December 1973 and covers the historic core of this market town. Its boundary is shown on Plan 1. Rugeley stands between Lichfield and Stafford on the south bank of the River Trent on ground rising from the valley to the forest and heath of Cannock Chase. The Rising Brook flows down from the Chase through the centre of the town. The town was first documented at the time of the Domesday Survey, and its development has focussed on the main Lichfield-Stafford road along Horsefair, Upper and Lower Brook Street and Market Street. Rugeley’s prosperity has been based on its mining and industrial history with water power an important asset and its first market charter dating from 1259. The Trent and Mersey Canal (formerly Grand Trunk Canal) to the east of the town opened in 1777 and provided the means of bulk transport of goods. Coal, power and electronics dominated during the 20th century and today’s built environment continues to provide evidence of this development with the cooling towers of Rugeley power station featuring in town centre views.

Thomas Anson of Shugborough
Thomas Anson of Shugborough and The Greek Revival Andrew Baker October 2019 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My interest in Thomas Anson began in 1982, when I found myself living in a cottage which had formerly been occupied by a seamstress on the Shugborough estate. In those days very little was known about him, just enough to suggest he was a person worth investigating, and little enough material available to give plenty of space for fantasy. In the early days, I was given a great deal of information about the background to 18th- century England by the late Michael Baigent, and encouragement by his friend and colleague Henry Lincoln (whose 1974 film for BBC’s “Chronicle” series, The Priest the Painter and the Devil introduced me to Shugborough) and the late Richard Leigh. I was grateful to Patrick, Earl of Lichfield, and Leonora, Countess of Lichfield, for their enthusiastic support. I presented my early researches at a “Holy Blood and Holy Grail” weekend at Shugborough. Patrick Lichfield’s step-grandmother, Margaret, Countess of Lichfield, provided comments on a particularly puzzling red-herring. Over the next twenty years the fantasies were deflated, but Thomas Anson remained an intriguing figure. I have Dr Kerry Bristol of Leeds University to thank for revealing that Thomas really was a kind of “eminence grise”, an influential figure behind the scenes of the 18th-century Greek Revival. Her 2006 conference at Shugborough was the turning point. The time was ripe for new discoveries. I wish to thank several researchers in different fields who provided important revelations along the way: Paul Smith, for the English translation from Chris Lovegrove, (former editor of the Journal of the Pendragon Society) of the first portion of Lady Anson’s letter referring to Honoré d’Urfé’s pastoral novel L’Astrée, written in French.

Thomas Anson and Shugborough
Andrew Baker Thomas Anson and the Greek Revival 1 1 Thomas Anson and Shugborough Shugborough, the house and its estate, sits in the valley of the Trent in Staffordshire. The vale has the air of being a world of its own, somehow managing to be serene and beautiful in spite of the two main line railways which pass through it. In the 18th century the park became studded with monuments, partly fanciful and partly serious reproductions of Ancient Greek architecture, as its owner, Thomas Anson, transformed his patch of England into his own ideal Arcadia These “improved” landscapes often have an air of mystery about them, of some kind of hidden meaning, or simply a haunting air of unreality. Shugborough, more than most, has a mystery at its heart. Most famously it has its Shepherds Monument, an enigmatic structure with a unique cryptic inscription. This presents an answered question to the visitor, made more curious by the lack of information about its creators, Thomas Anson himself and his architects. Thomas is virtually an invisible man, as if he has deliberately covered his traces. As the fragmentary clues are assembled both the meaning of Shugborough and its puzzling monument and the story of Thomas Anson, a man with secrets, begin to emerge. There is no better description of the place as it was in the 18th century than Thomas Pennant’s in his “Journey to Chester,” published in 1811. Pennant was a close friend of Thomas Anson in his later years and, as he says himself, used Shugborough as a base from which to explore the wide variety of natural and historic features in the area.

Cannock Chase SAC Visitor Survey. Unpublished report, Footprint Ecology. 3 Cannock Chase AONB Visitor Survey Summary This report sets out the results of a visitor survey undertaken at Cannock Chase between autumn 2010 and summer 2011. Visitor survey work involved counts of people entering/passing at the same locations (tally data); counts (‘snapshots’) of the number of cars parked at parking locations; and face-to-face interviews (1430 hours) conducted by volunteers and Local Authority staff at a range of survey points. The survey work and questionnaire was designed and implemented by the Local Authority/Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Most of the survey work was focused around the Special Area of Conservation (SAC) within the AONB. Tally Data Across all survey locations, visitor rate was 19 people per hour Birches Valley, Marquis Drive and Moors Gorse were the busiest sites Across all sites, 33% of visitors were walking, 26% dog walking, 24% cycling. There were significant differences in the proportions of users undertaking different activities at different survey locations: walkers made up a high proportion of visitors at Oldacre Lane; Moors Gorse accounted for the majority (93%) of cyclists and at Abraham’s Valley horse riders accounted for nearly a third (31%) of users. Weekends were significantly busier than weekdays There was no significant difference between visitor numbers at surveyed locations in the spring/summer and autumn/winter. In fact some autumn/winter weekend days appeared particularly busy, suggesting that access levels are relatively high throughout the year.

2021 PRODUCER INFORMATION and WOOL VALUES British Wool, Your Trusted Partner
2021 PRODUCER INFORMATION AND WOOL VALUES British Wool, Your Trusted Partner. britishwool.org.uk PRODUCER INFORMATION AND WOOL VALUES Welcome to British Wool’s Producer Information and Wool Values booklet. As a cooperative, we firmly believe that the collaborative marketing of the UK wool clip by British Wool is the best way to deliver value for wool producers. If anything, the principal of collaborative marketing is even more essential today than it was when British Wool was established in 1950. The wool clip needs to be sorted and amalgamated into commercial weights if it is to be used by manufacturers and achieve value for producers. The average clip size in the UK is around 500kg and this typically comprises 10 grades of wool. The UK is fortunate to still have two commercial scouring plants but these typically process wool in 50,000kg batches. Export to other markets such as China is in 24,000kg shipping containers where all lots must be core tested. Without our scale, grading and testing the clip would have lower value and the viability of UK wool processing would be jeopardised. With 35,000 members we are able to both aggregate the clip into commercial weights and offer a true nationwide service handling the wool from all UK wool producers, no matter what type of wool, or how much wool they have. The more wool we handle the more cost effective our operations become, which in turn allows us to return more value to all producers. If an additional 1000 farmers each delivered 500kg, our operating costs for all producers would fall by 1p per kilo.
