All members of staff at MGS work together to serve the interests of our pupils. The School does its best to provide a good working environment for its entire staff and we are all responsible for creating a happy and purposeful working atmosphere. Our network of around 100 non-teaching staff ranges from administrators, librarians, cleaners, groundsmen, nurses, secretaries, caterers, technicians, etc. The roles of our non-teaching staff are vital in ensuring the smooth day to day running of our School and each individual enjoys working as part of a small team which work well together and take part in a number of joint activities for the benefit of pupils. For example, in recent years several members of the non- teaching staff have joined teachers in school camps and visits with the pupils. We aim to encourage professional development for all staff, by providing training in the school or sending people on courses elsewhere. A number of staff have obtained promotions recently. Where did MGS come from? The School was founded in 1515, by Hugh Oldham, Bishop of Exeter, to prepare able boys from the Manchester area, regardless of their background, to go to Oxford or Cambridge. We take our motto Sapere Aude (Dare to be Wise) as meaning that we must challenge our pupils, and expect to be challenged by them. The owl is the symbol of the School – not because of its association with wisdom, but because those who sought to make a heraldic crest for Bishop Hugh Oldham made a pun on the old Lancashire pronunciation of “Owldom”. For most of our life we were situated in the centre of Manchester, in Long Millgate, the site now occupied by Chetham’s School of Music. In 1931 we moved out to a new, purpose-built 28 acre site in the Fallowfield area of the city, adjacent to the halls of residence of The University of Manchester.

  • The College and Canons of St Stephen's, Westminster, 1348
    The College and Canons of St Stephen’s, Westminster, 1348 - 1548 Volume I of II Elizabeth Biggs PhD University of York History October 2016 Abstract This thesis is concerned with the college founded by Edward III in his principal palace of Westminster in 1348 and dissolved by Edward VI in 1548 in order to examine issues of royal patronage, the relationships of the Church to the Crown, and institutional networks across the later Middle Ages. As no internal archive survives from St Stephen’s College, this thesis depends on comparison with and reconstruction from royal records and the archives of other institutions, including those of its sister college, St George’s, Windsor. In so doing, it has two main aims: to place St Stephen’s College back into its place at the heart of Westminster’s political, religious and administrative life; and to develop a method for institutional history that is concerned more with connections than solely with the internal workings of a single institution. As there has been no full scholarly study of St Stephen’s College, this thesis provides a complete institutional history of the college from foundation to dissolution before turning to thematic consideration of its place in royal administration, music and worship, and the manor of Westminster. The circumstances and processes surrounding its foundation are compared with other such colleges to understand the multiple agencies that formed St Stephen’s, including that of the canons themselves. Kings and their relatives used St Stephen’s for their private worship and as a site of visible royal piety.

  • Exeter Civic Society
    Exeter Civic Society Founded in 1961 Newsletter - Summer 2017 THE BOMBING OF EXETER It is now just over 75 years since Exeter suffered its most devastating air raid of WW2. However what is not known by many people is that Exeter suffered some 19 raids. This was one of the many interesting facts which Dr Todd Gray told packed audiences in the Guildhall on 4th May. Organised by Exeter C.C. the originally planned two illustrated talks had to be extended to three, such was the demand. Perhaps the most important thought left after the talk is how much is still unknown about the blitz. For instance the number of dead left after the raids is not known with any exactitude and while written records of the time are available, it is obvious that many persons staying in Exeter that night, for example commercial travellers, would not necessarily be noticed as missing, Controversially a lot of damaged and architecturally important buildings were demolished, even though the council had guarantees from the government that money and men would be made available for the repair of some of them. Amongst the audience, apparent at the subsequent question and discussion sessions, were a few who had memories of the blitz and this added yet more fascinating details to end this thought-provoking talk. (Reviewed by Peter Caspar) Three days after the talk at the Guildhall Peter Thomas presented an audio-visual event at the Phoenix, which illustrated in pictures and accompanying commentary the impact of the Exeter Blitz. This started with a considerable number of pictures from the early 20th century, showing the Victorian streets of old Exeter city centre which most of us were unfamiliar with.

  • John Bradford and William Turner
    TWO SIXTEENTH-CENTURY NORTHERN PROTESTANTS : JOHN BRADFORD AND WILLIAM TURNER by CELIA HUGHES, B.A., B.D., Ph.D. LECTURER IN ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF MANCHESTER John Bradford (c. 15 10-55) was a Manchester man and William Turner (c. 1510-68) was born at Morpeth in Northumberland. Both were educated at Pembroke Hall, Cambridge, though at different periods, and spent the greater part of their lives as laymen. Eventually both were ordained by Ridley when he was Bishop of London in the reign of Edward VI. They shared a common zeal for the Protestant cause, which they expressed by preaching, writing and translating. Both were involved in controversy with a group of Freewillers, who were regarded as heretics by Catholic and Protestant alike. Their careers differ in that Turner's interest in theology began in the 1530s and continued alongside his scientific studies until he died, still protesting the need for reform, in the reign of Elizabeth. Bradford moved between extremes, beginning as a young man seeking his fortune in high places, and ending, as befitted a disciple of Ridley, at the stake. JOHN BRADFORD "In Manchester was I born", said John Bradford, and there is a strong local tradition that this event took place in Blackley. His mother was living there at the time of his imprisonment, and he had connections with two local families, the Oldhams and the Beswicks, who had residences there. However, a suggestion that he was born literally within the township of Manchester is to be found in Croston's account of Old Manchester and its Worthies,' based on the evidence of a deed of conveyance referring to a house in Old Millgate standing "between the tenement of John Bradford and Richard Platt".
