DESPERATELY NEEDED: SPEAKER SECRETARY GROUP LEADER FOR THE GEOLOGY GROUP Wotton-under -Edge Wotton-under-Edge is a market town within the Stroud district of Gloucestershire which is located near the southern fringe of the Cotswolds. The Cotswold Way long-distance footpath passes through the town. Standing on the B4058, Wotton is about 5 miles (8.0 km) from the M5 road, on the Bristol to Birmingham line. History - The first record of the town is in an Anglo-Saxon Royal Charter of King Edmund I, who in AD 940 leased four hides of land in Wudetun to Eadric. The name Wudetun means the enclosure, homestead or village (tun) in or near the wood (wude).The Edge refers to the limestone escarpment of the Cotswold Edge which includes the hills of Wotton Hill and Tor Hill that flank the town. In the 1086 Domesday Book listing, Wotton was in the hundred of Dudstone. Kingswood Abbey was founded in 1139, but all that remains is a 16th-century Cistercian gatehouse. Nearby historical buildings include the Tudor houses of Newark Park and Owlpen Manor. The medieval former public house - the Ancient Ram Inn dates back to 1145.The map of Wotton- under-Edge shown dates from 1946. The original town was burnt down during the reign of King John (1199-1216). It was rebuilt in 1252 and a charter granted to Johanna de Berkeley authorising her to hold a market and a three-day annual fair on the Feast of the Cross. In 1272 the inhabitants of the borough were authorised to elect one of their members as a Mayor - a practice that continued every year until 1886. The Church of St. Mary the Virgin (illustrated) was consecrated in 1283 and is the oldest and largest church in the town. The Katharine Lady Berkeley’s Grammar School was established in 1384 and is now a comprehensive named Katharine Lady Berkeley’s School - although the present modern building is a little outside of the town on the way to the village of Kingswood. The British School was established in the village in 1835. A battle occurred near the Ancient Ram Inn in 1469, when the building was owned by a Viscount Lisle. William Berkeley led the forces that beat the Viscount and, after the battle, his men sacked the manor. Overlooking the town on the top of Wotton Hill is a collection of trees which were planted in the 19th century to commemorate the Battle of Waterloo. These are situated on the site that housed one of the early warning beacons used to warn England of the approach of the Spanish Armada in 1588. New Mills, founded in 1810, prospered by supplying both sides in the Napoleonic wars but after a century of decline the mill was near to closing when it was acquired by Renishaw plc In 1981. Governance - An electoral ward with the same name exists. The ward mainly covers Wotton-under- Edge but also stretches to North Nibley. The total population of the ward taken at the 2011 census was 6,510. Facilities - The town is relatively well served for a town of its size. It has several pubs, a hotel and a range of takeaways and restaurants. It has several active social groups, such as Scouts, Guides, a gardening club and the Wotton Lions.In 1958, local people and school students built the town swimming pool, which was completed in 1961. Subsequently, the pool had solar and electric heating installed. In 1999 with the fund-raising support of community groups, a retractable enclosure was fitted to prolong the swimming season. In 2002, following the closure of the local cinema, a group of volunteers raised funds for a refurbishment to become one of the first digital cinemas in the UK. It re-opened in 2005 as a 100-seat facility inside an old stable yard, once part of the Crown Inn which closed in 1911. Films were first shown in the old Banqueting Hall of the Inn and moved to the stable yard some years later, due to the popularity of films. The Wotton Electric Picture House (the original name) is now a thriving venue. The town has always lacked a railway station. There was once one at nearby Charfield , which is still on a partly-extant line, and there have been calls for the station to be re-opened. Gallery – showing: Monumental brass of Thomas de Berkeley, 5th Baron of Berkeley (d 1417) Church of St Mary the Virgin, the Ancient Ram Inn, the Falcon and the Tolsey clock which commemorates the Diamond Jubilee (60 years) of Queen Victoria’s reign.

GARDENING GROUP The Gardening Group Blooms Again I am sure you’ll all agree that whether you are a gardener on not, our gardens have kept us going this year. Whilst nothing beats a visit to a garden in person, the Gardening Group will bloom again online until trips out can be organised. An initial series of six talks is being set up on Zoom with at least one talk in before Christmas. Topics will be varied and definitely not just for gardeners. We are also intending to share some events with U3A Cotswold Link Members, Evesham. Gardening Group members who are interested in the talks will pay a subscription of £20 per person. At less than £4 a talk, this is great value. Rather than having a set time and day of the week for meetings, these will be varied so as many people can attend as possible. Talks will be posted on the Gardening Group page on the website, but we do not intend to offer admission to individual talks. Should you not have used Zoom before, we can help you in advance. If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact Danielle Ellis. Malmesbury Abbey & Gardens on a Previous Visit Photos & Write up by Danielle Ellis Well done to Danielle for coming forward to lead this Group and very many thanks to Maggie and Sue for all the Garden Visits they arranged. SCIENCE & ENGINEERING EXTRA BLOODHOUND REPORT Wow, 2020 has been quite a rollercoaster ride! We hope you and your family are well during these extraordinary and challenging times.We wanted you to be the first to know that the prime-time documentary detailing Bloodhound's successful 628mph (1010km/h) High Speed Testing campaign is scheduled to air on Channel 4, in the UK, at 6pm on Saturday, 14th November. Building The World’s Fastest Car, the hour-long programme follows the team’s fortunes as they deployed to the Kalahari Desert in South Africa for six weeks in autumn 2019. Filmed on the Hakskeenpan desert, the programme charts the highs and lows as the team attempts to run the car on the desert racetrack, building speeds, and learning about the destructive impact of supersonic airflow, ahead of a concerted attempt to break the World Land Speed Record. The programme has also been distributed to broadcasters around the world. We'll share the dates and channels as we get them. Watch the trailer! Those of you with a good memory will recall we mentioned that we had a small batch of limited- edition High Speed Testing liveried model cars in production. Well, these are now available in our shop and you guys, our core fans, are able to buy them before the rest of the world. As you may have noticed we've been rather quiet since March. The entire project was put into hibernation to ensure it didn't accrue costs whilst we have been unable to progress both the engineering or fundraising programmes. We will, however, be waking up in the coming weeks, so more news to follow. Courtesy of Graham Ellis CONCERT GROUP CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION WITH JOHN RUTTER & THE RPO Christmas just wouldn’t be Christmas without the world-renowned English composer and conductor, John Rutter, and his ever-popular concerts with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO), which is why this year, we’ve pulled out all the stops to bring you this firm festive favourite directly to you in the comfort of your own home! Join us on Thursday 10 December 2020 at 7.30pm for the online premiere of his specially recorded performance, featuring John Rutter and the RPO, as well as a stellar line-up of special guests, including the acclaimed actor, Simon Callow, and the celebrated vocal group VOCES8.

THORNTON Bilkent University, Ankara E-mail: [email protected] This article evaluates ordination lists preserved in bishops’ registers from late medieval England as evidence for the monastic orders, with special reference to religious houses in the diocese of Worcester, from to . By comparing almost , ordination records collected from registers from Worcester and neighbouring dioceses with ‘conven- tual’ lists, it is concluded that over per cent of monks and canons are not named in the extant ordination lists. Over half of these omissions are arguably due to structural gaps in the surviving ordination lists, but other, non-structural factors may also have contributed. ith the dispersal and destruction of the archives of religious houses following their dissolution in the late s, many docu- W ments that would otherwise facilitate the prosopographical study of the monastic orders in late medieval England and Wales have been irre- trievably lost.

    Players and Performances in Early Modern Gloucester, Tewkesbury and Bristol

    Players and Performances in Early Modern Gloucester, Tewkesbury and Bristol SARAH ELIZABETH LOWE A thesis submitted to The University of Gloucestershire in accordance with the requirements to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Education, Humanities and Sciences February 2008 i ABSTRACT This thesis is an analysis of the responses in the early modern period of civic and church authorities to local and visiting groups of players in Gloucester, Tewkesbury and Bristol. It is also an examination of the venues in which these groups performed. Reactions to these groups varied, and this study explores how these, both positive and negative, were affected by economic, legal and cultural factors. The thesis proceeds chronologically, and is thus divided into twenty-year intervals in order to draw the most effective comparisons between the three urban centres over a number of decades. The first period under examination, the 1560s, records the early reaction of the three settlements to the phenomenon of the Elizabethan travelling company. The relationship between the regional authorities and the patrons comes to the fore in the second period, the 1580s, as the dominance of the ambitious Earl of Leicester grew in the region. Legislation decreeing the withdrawal of mayoral control over itinerant troupes at the close of the sixteenth century, the third period, released civic officials from previous obligations and this influenced the level and character of their hospitality towards the ‘noble’ companies. Although evidence is scarce, the records of Gloucester, Tewkesbury and Bristol contain clues to an attitude towards these entertainers during the reign of James I, the final period under scrutiny.

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'.
