Insert Document Title What's New for Groups in 2015 Insert Document Title Here What’s New for Groups in 2015 and beyond? 1. Information & Resources for Groups Organisers Coach Drivers’ Map and Guide launched for the Lake District, Cumbria Group travel organisers planning a visit to the Lake District, Cumbria now have better access to information including a new bite size guide for coach drivers. Produced by the £6.9million GoLakesTravel programme in conjunction with Cumbria County Council, it’s part of a wider push to reduce carbon emissions and safeguard the environment by influencing people to make fewer car journeys while visiting the region. The refreshed Coach Drivers’ Map and Guide provides essential information to coach operators, from details on coach parking and public toilets across the county, to advice on roads to avoid (due to sharp bends, steep gradients or restricted width). Alongside the handy new guide, GoLakesTravel has re-launched a dedicated website www.cumbria4coaches.co.uk, to bring together all the basic information that group travel organisers need to inspire a diverse range of themed visits – including arts and culture, history and heritage, food and drink, and the great outdoors. The website lists contacts for attractions, accommodation, and food and drink businesses who welcome group visits. 10,000 copies of the Coach Drivers’ Map and Guide have been produced; request your free copy now through www.cumbria4coaches.co.uk Special Help from Visit Oxfordshire Groups Travel Desk Visit Oxfordshire have launched their new helpdesk for group travel to enhance group visits. Providing a free group accommodation booking service, discounted attraction ticketing for groups, a booking service for Blue/Green Badge Official Walking tour guides, itinerary ideas, together with help and advice on planning group visits, the Group Travel Desk will make planning visits to Oxford and Oxfordshire a smooth and seamless procedure. The new group’s pages on the Visit Oxfordshire website are an essential tool for anyone planning a group/educational visit – or group visit programme in Oxford and Oxfordshire. Specific pages of the popular website are dedicated to group-friendly attractions, travel, accommodation and support services as part of the Group Visits Promotion campaign. The aim is both to attract new groups and to encourage repeat visits to less well-known parts of the county. Group organisers will surely find the ‘Downton Locations in Oxfordshire’ map helpful, downloadable free from the Visit Oxfordshire website.

  • Interpreting Poverty and Punishment in British Prison Museums
    Law, Crime and History (2018) 1 INCARCERATING THE POOR: INTERPRETING POVERTY AND PUNISHMENT IN BRITISH PRISON MUSEUMS Dan Johnson1 Abstract This article will seek to understand how and why many prisoners interpreted in prison museums come from lower class backgrounds, and pose questions about how these interpretations contribute to or counter stereotypes about crime and poverty in Victorian England. The article will analyse the Victorian Prison at Lincoln Castle and the York Castle Museum because both sites present the history of punishment without any substantial collections on display, thus utilising creative techniques to present their histories to their visitors. The York Castle Museum presents the history of punishment at the site from 1706 to 1829, while the Victorian Prison at Lincoln Castle showcases its history as a separate system prison from 1848 to 1878. Through primary source material the museums create prison narratives that present the historic prisoners as victims of British society before social welfare. Keywords: museum studies, Lincoln Castle, York Castle, heritage studies, Victorian prison. Introduction Former Director of the Prison Reform Trust, Juliet Lyon asserted in 2016 that, ‘for far too long, prisons have been our most neglected, least visible public service.’2 Due to the invisible nature of the penal system, society relies on cultural representations to shape their views. These representations include literature, film, television, and the news. As people consume these media representations they begin to form their own views and opinions about crime and punishment. Juliet Lyon’s comment on the invisible nature of the current prison service is also true for the history of punishment in the UK.

Lady Nichola de la Haye Early evening on Friday 19th May 2017 Lady Nichola de la Haye greets you as she looks over the battlements of the East Gate of Lincoln Castle. She is the brave sixty year old noble woman and Constable who, just last year, had offered the keys to the castle back to King John. She told him she was too old to continue and thought he would choose someone else to defend the castle in the coming siege. King John refused as he had great faith in her. This proved correct as she gained a truce with the rebel forces in Lincoln in the summer of 1216.

  • Lincoln Cathedral: Building Timeline and Significant Historic Events
    Lincoln Cathedral: Building timeline and significant historic events Pre Conquest AD 60 After the AD43 invasion and occupation of Britain by the Romans under Claudius the 9th Legion, Hispana, built a fort here as their headquarters. 90The fort and subsequent settlement becomes a Colonia, (called Lindum) with forum and other important stone-built buildings. c. 150 Lindum population estimated to be between 6000 and 8000. Around this time the earth and timber city defences were rebuilt in stone, with four gateways. One of these gateways still partially survives as Newport Arch, the oldest surviving arch across a public road in Britain. c. 4th Outline of floorplan of St Paul in the Bail exposed by excavations close to the century forum. Thought to possibly date back to the time of the Roman occupation. 407The last of the Roman soldiers left Britain, by the end of the 5th century most, or all, of the towns inhabitants had fled, leaving the Roman buildings to decay and collapse. 839Fist records of Vikings attacking Lincoln. From 876 the Danes founded a settlement within the former Roman fort. 918Edward the Elder recaptured Lincoln during his successful campaign to reclaim all lands south of the Humber. 1013 Vikings capture Lincoln from the Saxons in a series of Danish and Norse raids, submission made to King Sweyn of Denmark. After the battle of Assundun in 1016 his son Canute becomes ruler of all England. Post Conquest 1068The King moved the Diocese from Dorchester on Thames to Lincoln in 1072. The Normans found Lincoln to be a mixed Saxon and Danish town within a Roman site.

  • Lincoln Castle and Magna Carta~ Here at Lincoln Castle We Have the Privilege to Look After One of the Four Remaining 1215 Magna Cartas
    ~ Lincoln Castle and Magna Carta~ Here at Lincoln Castle we have the privilege to look after one of the four remaining 1215 Magna Cartas. The Magna Carta is a document written in black ink on parchment. Scribes would use feather pens and couldn’t make any mistakes! ~ King John ~ On the 27th May 1199 John became King of England. He was the eighth child of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine. As the youngest boy, John had not expected to be king. His father didn't give him much land to rule so he was often called Lackland. He probably thought he would have a career in the Church and was taught by the Abbot of Reading. However, his elder brothers died young and his sisters were unable to inherit, so John became King. His parents had built up a collection of land called the Angevin Empire. When he became King, John lost nearly half of the Angevin Empire, mainly in France. In an attempt to get the land back, John demanded more and more taxes, men and resources from the English barons. ~ Magna Carta ~ The barons were very unhappy and wanted John to treat them fairly. In 1215, with the help of Stephen Langton the Archbishop of Canterbury, they put together a Charter of Liberties and confronted the King. On 15th June 1215 King John accepted the charter by adding his royal seal to it. On the left you can see John’s seal, showing him on horseback. This charter was sent out to all the cathedral cities in England.

But where else is it done to such wonderful visual effect? Lincoln is one of England’s great historic cities. It is possible to stand in Castle Square and see 900 years of architectural development and detect the influence of a further 1000 years: a Roman city, Lindum Colonia and a medieval city that dates to William the Conqueror’s arrival Couple this with the role that Lincoln took in key national events between 1215- 17 and that its diocese once stretched from the Thames to the Humber.
