HORNING REACH the PARISH PAPER for Horning and Ashmanhaugh (Associated with the NIB Magazine) HORNING REACH The PARISH PAPER For Horning and Ashmanhaugh (Associated with the NIB magazine) APRIL 2019 No. 498 From your Parish Priest We tend to associate pilgrimage with major expeditions to some far away holy shrine or perhaps a place of healing. But life itself is also a pilgrimage. We find ourselves drawn to others on that same journey, gathering into communities of companions, those with whom we share bread, for that is the original meaning of the word “companion”. And as we journey on with those companions, we often find ourselves telling our stories, and the stories of our communities, just as Chaucer’s pilgrims did, in his “Canterbury Tales”. That is our pilgrim church – those who journey together, those who share bread together in homes and in Church, those who tell their stories together, stories of both past and present, and those who gather others to their community as they journey onwards. The end of our pilgrimage is in Our Lord’s presence. Jesus said “I go to prepare a place for you . so that where I am, there you may be also”. Yet despite all our inherited wisdom, despite all our knowledge, despite all that is talked and written about God and heaven, we know only in part. Our earthly pilgrimage is but a pale shadow of eternal life in God’s glorious presence, the life now enjoyed by those of our loved ones whose pilgrimage is complete. Each year Lent too is a pilgrimage. We tell our stories, how we worship God through stories of captivity and release. We hear again the stories of Christ’s journeys, and of his final sorrowful journey to the Cross. As Holy Week unfolds, we shall again be companions with Christ as we break bread with him on Maundy Thursday, sharing in the story of the Last Supper, and we shall look on as Christ’s earthly pilgrimage reaches its climax on the Cross on Good Friday. You may perhaps remember the Looney Tunes cartoons which always finished with “That’s all folks”. There were those at the foot of the Cross on that first Good Friday who believed that to be the case. Their own pilgrimage with Jesus seemed to have come to an abrupt and shattering full stop. But although Good Friday is a focal point in our story, it is not of course the end. The joy that breaks through on Easter morning allows us to journey on in faith, trusting in all that that Jesus taught us in his ministry on earth. The joy of Easter morning should re-kindle the hope in all of us, hope that sustains us as we journey on and sustains those around us. As you continue your own pilgrimage, and as we journey on together, may you know God’s love in your hearts and the hope of Easter in your lives. With every blessing.

    Welcome to Worcester College Oxford Dear Guest, Welcome to Worcester College. We are delighted you will be spending some time with us and will endeavour to do everything possible to make your visit both enjoy- able and memorable. We have compiled this directory of services and information, including information on Oxford city centre, which we hope you will find useful during your stay. A Short History There has been an educational establishment on the Worcester College site for over 725 years. In 1277 the General Chapter of the Benedictine Order in England established a house of study at Oxford, but nothing was done until 1283 when Gloucester Abbey founded a monastic house, endowed by Sir John Giffard, for the education of fifteen monks from the Gloucester community. The new foundation, occupying approximately the area around the present Main Quad, was outside the old city walls and adjacent to a Carmelite Friary founded in 1256. It was called Gloucester College, and it was the first and most important of the Benedictine colleges in Oxford. In 1291, the provincial chapter of the Benedictine order arranged for Gloucester College to become the house of study for young monks from Canterbury, and sixteen abbeys are recorded as having sent students here, mostly to study divinity and law. The first monk to graduate at the college, as a Bachelor of Divinity, was Dom William de Brock of Gloucester Abbey in 1298. These thirteenth-century houses were proudly called mansiones and are now referred to as the ‘Cottages’. Each has its own front door, staircase, and arms, or rebus, of the respective ruling abbot.

This book cannot be expected to please everybody, and it makes no attempt to conciliate those who prefer sentiment to truth, or who allow their reading of historical events to be distorted by present-day controversies, whether ecclesiastical or political. In that respect it tries to live up to the dictum of Samuel Butler that 'he excels most who hits the golden mean most exactly in the middle'.

A writ of King Edward the Confessor (S 1162) restated the fact that St Mary’s minster and ‘myne clerkes’ had the usual judicial privileges and forebade interference in these rights by the bishop or by anyone else.1 What threat occasioned their seeking the king’s writ is beyond knowing, but the writ, preserved in a later episcopal register, is evidence that the church was fully independent. A charter of Henry II refers to it as mea dominica capella, and the entry for it in Domesday Book shows that it was a minster church. That it was a royal minster before the Conquest 1 J. H. Denton, English Royal Free Chapels 1100–1300. A constitutional study (Manchester, 1970), 47–8, noted how remarkable was the clause specifying freedom from the bishop and contemplated interpolation, though in the end he concluded that lack of comparable clauses in other writs was not a sufficient reason.

    Emily Mitchell Patronage and Politics at Barking Abbey, c. 950 - c. 1200 Abstract This thesis is a study of the Benedictine abbey of Barking in Essex from the tenth to the twelfth centuries. It is based on a wide range of published and unpublished documentary sources, and on hagiographie texts written at the abbey. It juxtaposes the literary and documentary sources in a new way to show that both are essential for a full understanding of events, and neither can be fully appreciated in isolation. It also deliberately crosses the political boundary of 1066, with the intention of demonstrating that political events were not the most significant determinant of the recipients of benefactors’ religious patronage. It also uses the longer chronological scale to show that patterns of patronage from the Anglo-Saxon era were frequently inherited by the incoming Normans along with their landholdings. Through a detailed discussion of two sets of unpublished charters (Essex Record Office MSS D/DP/Tl and Hatfield, Hatfield House MS Ilford Hospital 1/6) 1 offer new dates and interpretations of several events in the abbey’s history, and identify the abbey’s benefactors from the late tenth century to 1200. As Part III shows, it has been possible to trace patterns of patronage which were passed down through several generations, crossing the political divide of 1066. Royal patronage is shown to have been of great significance to the abbey, and successive kings exploited their power of advowson in different ways according to the political atmosphere o f England. The literary sources are discussed in a separate section, but with full reference to the historical narrative.

  • Cromer Crab” Fishery, UK
    Social resilience, place and identity in the small-scale North Norfolk “Cromer Crab” fishery, UK. Carole Sandrine White September 2015 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the University of East Anglia School of International Development This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Abstract Fishing once defined many coastal community identities around the British Isles. Over recent decades, these communities have faced the decline of their fishing industry in addition to demographic, environmental, economic change and a changing policy context in coastal areas focused on marine conservation and economic growth. Using a qualitative case study of a small- scale crab fishery, in North Norfolk, famous for its iconic ‘Cromer Crab’, I investigate place identity and attachment and their implications for social resilience. Like many coastal fishing towns, Cromer has become less reliant on fishing and the future of the fishery, central to the town’s identity, appears to be in question. Although the fishing community has been reduced, the remaining Cromer crab fishermen could be considered resilient. I identify the different livelihood strategies fishermen have adopted in order to continue fishing and explore the trade-offs each strategy involves. However, given the significant entry barriers new fishermen face, the future of this fishery appears bleak regardless of the strategy selected.
