  • A0638-Shifnal-Matters-Petition.Pdf
    Dear Sir, It is our understanding that it has been past practice for Shropshire Council to delete all and any signatures on petitions that are indicated as from out side Shropshire. At the same time, it is your published policy that responses to the current consultation on the draft local plan are open to all who live, work or are at education in Shropshire. We wish to draw the following to your attention; 1. The change.org site allocates a location to each signatory based on their internet rather than actual location. Thus, while standing in Shifnal the location may show Telford and whilst standing in Albrighton it may show Wolverhampton. 2. Those who live in Shropshire are highly likely to work outside of Shropshire and during their working day a vote will reflect a location outside Shropshire. 3. Those who work or are at education in Shropshire are also potentially residing outside of the county. 4. During the Covid19 restrictions many residents are working from home. It is common practice for work-places to invoke a system of virtual private networks as a security measure. Anyone using a computer with such a network will be assigned a location by change.org that reflects the networks server rather than the users geographic location. In the era of cloud computing this location could be anywhere in the world. We would want to point out that Shifnal Matters has only promoted this petition through adverts in Shifnal and Tong. Our social media posts are also through pages that are specific to Shifnal and Albrighton.

  • An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: with a Catalogue of Artefacts
    An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: With a catalogue of artefacts By Esme Nadine Hookway A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MRes Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham March 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation.

Abstract The Anglo-Saxon period spanned over 600 years, beginning in the fifth century with migrations into the Roman province of Britannia by peoples’ from the Continent, witnessing the arrival of Scandinavian raiders and settlers from the ninth century and ending with the Norman Conquest of a unified England in 1066. This was a period of immense cultural, political, economic and religious change. The archaeological evidence for this period is however sparse in comparison with the preceding Roman period and the following medieval period. This is particularly apparent in regions of western England, and our understanding of Shropshire, a county with a notable lack of Anglo-Saxon archaeological or historical evidence, remains obscure. This research aims to enhance our understanding of the Anglo-Saxon period in Shropshire by combining multiple sources of evidence, including the growing body of artefacts recorded by the Portable Antiquity Scheme, to produce an over-view of Shropshire during the Anglo-Saxon period.
