In contrast, traditional cartographic generalization can be understood as trying to maximise functional detail with task-adequacy (in the form of legibility) as a constraint.

  • The Sites of Ancient Villages in Wirral
    54 THE SITES OF ANCIENT VILLAGES IN WIRRAL. By Eric H. Ridcout, B.Sc. Read March 2bth, 1925. ISTORY has sometimes been defined as the written H record of the life of Man upon the earth. Chroniclers who consciously took notes for posterity share honours as historians with diarists and letter-writers whose spontan­ eous and naif remarks were never meant to be public property, and all these are often less valuable indications of the life of Man in any given period than that expression of emotion and ideals which is called literature. Legend has become ancillary to history, and the shadowy truth concerning ages that lie back on the borderlines of prehistoric days has received illumination even from stones, pieces of metal, carved wood, and pictured papyrus. Until recent years this study of written records was concerned chiefly with the lives of the great and powerful men of any epoch, and it is only with the rise of modern democracy that there has come a desire that history should tell the story of ordinary men and describe their customary thoughts and deeds. As this demand for knowledge of the life of essentially unlettered men increases, a stimulus is given to the study of the evidence that was never written down, and the earth itself begins to be perused as a docu­ ment that will help to reconstruct for us the picture of past ages. There can be few problems so fascinating as the attempt to discover what led a group of people in some far distant time to choose out of a whole area one special site for their abode.

  • Stoak and Stanney 1
    Stoak and Stanney Under this heading are records and recollections of eight townships in or near the Parish of Stoak and from which are drawn the members of the Stoak and Stanney Women’s Institute. Ormerod gives the first recorded date for Stoak as 1316, it being then a part of the Soterlegh estate, but it is thought to have been part of the land given to Hugh Lupus by William the Conqueror, It passed to the Thornton family and in l550, by marriage with the family of De Duttons, to the Bunburys, who held it until 1750. Stoak includes Little Stanney, Croughton and Wervin, and until 1922, parts of Whitby and Ellesemere Port. The Church of St. Lawrence dates from Norman times, although it is thought that a church stood there in Saxon days. In 1349, it was "a sumptuous building of stone and wood with four bells" (Ormerod). It has the not-uncommon legend of the stones prepared for building being repeatedly removed by supernatural hands from the selected site to the present position. A fragment of a drawing of the twelfth century building here has been discovered in the British Museum. The Church was almost entirely rebuilt in I827; the North wall and roof of the nave and the shell of the chancel are all that remain of the earlier Church. The three bells in the tower are the oldest in Wirral (1615-42) and the bells carry the mark of the Clibury branch foundry at Holt. A fourth and older (1598) sanctus bell hung in the Old Village School until the steeple became dangerous and it was removed.
