W1–43).1 He was already a benefactor of the abbey of La Trinité-du-Mont near Rouen when, apparently before 1086, he and his wife Muriel chose to transform the church of Blyth into a priory of monks dependent on the Norman abbey.2 Building work on a substantial scale began swiftly: most of the nave of the original priory church survives in an austere early Norman style. The location chosen for the priory lies on a high road north from Nottingham, often referred to in deeds as the uia regia, which connects with the Great North Road.3 Tolls were the main component of its revenues, and the so-called foundation charter in Roger de Busli’s name provides for both holding fairs and receiving tolls (Ctl. Blyth, 208, 1 The others were Pontefract, given to Ilbert de Lacy (DB, i. 315a–318b; §§ 9. W1– 144), who founded a priory at Pontefract (0000), and Richmond, given to Count Alan Rufus (DB, i.

This became Dotheboys Hall in Dickens’ “Nicholas Nickleby”. Route Information Outdoor Leisure Map 31 From the free car park opposite the Village Hall, by the crossroads at the eastern end of Bowes, you will walk up through the village past St Giles church and Bowes Castle, built in 1170 on the site of an earlier Roman Fort. From there you descend to the River Greta, cross the bridge, and walk east high up in the valley. The return route is part track and part fields lower down nearer the river.

This paper presents an engineer’s account of the appraisal, investigation, assessment of structural action and the design and execution of repairs for stabilising the structure. The analytical tool employed to interpret the flow of force was a thrust-line graphical equilibrium analysis. It will be demonstrated that this analytical approach accords with the observed structural pathology, thus giving a clear understanding as to where the loads are going, that they may be effectively grappled with. Through thrust-line analysis, continued stability could be demonstrated despite substantial changes in the foundation conditions. It seems fitting that this efficient, robust and confidence-building tool is the same used by the engineers who originally designed many of these bridges.

    https://portal.uea.ac.uk/uea-retirement-association The Newsletter of the UEA Retirement Association No. 62 FEBRUARY 2020 CHAIRMAN’S INTRODUCTION. As this is the first issue of Renaissance this year, I would like to wish you all a satisfying and peaceful 2020. We have three holidays arranged this year. The walking holiday at Sedburgh and the new Gentle walking holiday at Lulworth are already full. However some more rooms have been released for the Discovery Tour at Abingworth near the South Downs (please see the details on page 8). A coach has been booked to take members to Sutton Hoo near Woodbridge where the National Trust has upgraded its facilities to see the Anglo-Saxon ship burials. A History Group outing has been arranged to see the historic library collection at the John Innes Institute and the Garden Group has outings to Hoveton Hall and Gardens plus a return visit to Dale Farm. Please support these outings. You are also welcome at all our other activities. John Johnson A Note from the Treasurer Thank you all for renewing your 2020 memberships so promptly. The exercise is now completed and any members whose membership has lapsed do not receive this Renaissance. A few facts and figures (the figures in brackets are the comparable figures for 2019):- 234 (243) members renewed by 31 st December so it was only necessary to send 33 (37) reminders to jog memories. At 30 th January membership is 250 (262) which represents 100 (104) individual members and 75 (79) joint members. Denis Brown As you see from our Treasurer's note above, our overall membership numbers have gone down again this year, a trend we have seen in recent years.
