Let us remember those who came home wounded, physically and mentally, and the friends and family who cared for them. Let us remember those who returned to restore their relationships and rebuild their working lives after years of dreadful conflict and turmoil. Let us remember the families that lost husbands, sons and sweethearts. Let us remember the servicemen, merchant seamen, miners, brave civilians and others from Commonwealth and Allied countries - who fought, suffered and died during four years of war. Let us remember those in reserved occupation and the brave people who kept us safe on the home front - the doctors and nurses who cared for the wounded, the women and men who toiled in the fields, those who worked in the factories, who all played such a vital role in the war effort at home.

  • Worship at St. John's Church Forres
    Christmas Fair 20th October 2018 St Leonard’s Church Hall A big thank you to all who helped Photographs by Michael 2 From the Rectory Greetings! Colours of autumn have been well on dis- play and are already giving way for the grey frames of trees. Leaves on the trees and those flying around on roads and in our gar- dens remain visible manifestations of the season we are in. Besides those colours of nature, shades of orange and black are around decorating the windows of some places marking Halloween. Also, the red col- our of poppy flowers is now beginning to appear on coats. Different objects marking the significance of different occasions and sentiments, but all contributing to our visual senses and complementing the colours of autumn. In the worship life of the church, we will soon be ending this liturgical year with the celebration of Christ the King and will enter into Advent – a time of reflection on waiting and preparation. Amidst the vi- brancy of colours and preparations for Christmas, the less vibrant colour of purple and the meaning of the season it signifies in the liturgical calendar around this time of the year can easily be overlooked. Just as there was much waiting and preparation for the coming of Christ child, we are reminded during the season of Advent the need for patient waiting on the revelations of God and preparations that are reflect- ed in our everyday living for the coming of the Kingdom of God. I invite you to use the opportunities provided in our church to reflect upon these themes together as a church community.

  • Part 4: Conclusions and Recommendations & Appendices
    Twentieth Century Naval Dockyards Devonport and Portsmouth: Characterisation Report PART FOUR CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The final focus of this report is to develop the local, national and international contexts of the two dockyards to highlight specific areas of future research. Future discussion of Devonport and Portsmouth as distinct designed landscapes would coherently organise the many strands identified in this report. The Museum of London Archaeology Portsmouth Harbour Hinterland Project carried out for Heritage England (2015) is a promising step in this direction. It is emphasised that this study is just a start. By delivering the aim and objectives, it has indicated areas of further fruitful research. Project aim: to characterise the development of the active naval dockyards at Devonport and Portsmouth, and the facilities within the dockyard boundaries at their maximum extent during the twentieth century, through library, archival and field surveys, presented and analysed in a published report, with a database of documentary and building reports. This has been delivered through Parts 1-4 and Appendices 2-4. Project objectives 1 To provide an overview of the twentieth century development of English naval dockyards, related to historical precedent, national foreign policy and naval strategy. 2 To address the main chronological development phases to accommodate new types of vessels and technologies of the naval dockyards at Devonport and Portsmouth. 3 To identify the major twentieth century naval technological revolutions which affected British naval dockyards. 4 To relate the main chronological phases to topographic development of the yards and changing technological and strategic needs, and identify other significant factors. 5 To distinguish which buildings are typical of the twentieth century naval dockyards and/or of unique interest.

The original idea was to pull together lots of old photographs and postcards and publish a Topcliffe scrapbook. However, it seemed to me to be also an opportunity to have another look at the history of Topcliffe and try to dig a little further into the knowledge than had been written in other histories. This then is the latest in a line of Topcliffe's histories produced by such people as J. B. Jefferson in his history of Thirsk in 1821, Edmund Bogg in his various histories of the Vale of Mowbray and Mary Watson in her Topcliffe Book in the late 1970s.
