Feral Muntjac Deer (Muntiacus spp.) in the West Midlands, with special reference to Warwickshire. By T. J. PrcKvANcE and J. S. R. CHARD INTRODUCTION Two species of muntjac deer, the Chinese (Muntiacus reevesi) and the Indian (M. rnuntjac), were introduced into England at Woburn Park, Bedfordshire, about the beginning of this century, according to P. Stainer, the present Steward at Woburn Park. Later they were kept at Whipsnade and at least twO' private zoos (Crowland Abbey, near Wellingborough and at Broxbourne, Herts.). During the last half-century, muntjac have been reported in Bedfordshire, Northants., Warwickshire, Bucks., Herts., Berks., Cambridgeshire, Huntingdonshire, Essex, Leicestershire, Middlesex, Norfolk, Oxon., Staffordshire and Suffolk. Only in the first five counties named can it be stated as certain that the deer are established as a regularly breeding species at the present time. The muntjac's successful colonisation of a wide area of the country has taken place very largely without the knowledge of its human inhabitants. Our purpose in writing this article is to draw the attention of naturalists and others to the presence of this small deer, and to indicate some of the problems involved in recording the muntjac's distribution and habits. The muntjac is unlikely to become the obj ect of measures of extermination. Unlike the larger species of deer it does no harm to trees, and from places where it sometimes becomes a nuisance, such as market gardens and allotments, it can be excluded by wire netting.

Long Canal Frontage with its own Mooring and Canalside Patio This Grade II* Listed property offers good access to all major Midlands Towns and Cities via the M42 Motorway and overlooks the surrounding village of Polesworth. Pooley Hall Farmhouse Pooley Lane, Polesworth, Tamworth, B78 1JA BRIEF HISTORY The present Hall was built in 1509 by Sir Thomas Cockayne "The Magnificent" who was knighted at the Battle of Tournai by King Henry VII. Built on the site of an earlier Hall, and was one of the first examples in the country of a castellated brick built Manor House. The House was considerably larger than it is today and has been repeatedly altered. Once the original house was demolished, the Cockayne family split their time between Pooley Hall and their estate at Ashbourne Hall in Derbyshire. Sir Aston Cockayne, 1st Baronet Cockayne, lived quietly at Pooley Hall for most of the English Interregnum and was a famous Cavalier and Catholic. During the Civil War he took the Royalists side and in 1642 Charles I elevated him to Baronet. Sir Aston joined the future Charles II in exile for a time and chose to return to Pooley Hall to lie low.

Page | I Abstract This thesis examines the development of health and safety in the British coalmining industry in the period of rapid expansion 1840 to 1913 through a case study of the Warwickshire coalfield. It will assess the contribution of the miner, the coalowners and the State to improvements to mine safety. Although historians have been attracted to this period of coalfield expansion, they have tended to concentrate upon the complex economics necessary for success or the fractious record of industrial relations, with health and safety marginalised to the periphery. They have also mainly taken their exemplars from the important coal exporting activities of the North-East and South Wales, together with the larger coalfields of Scotland, Lancashire, Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire.
