  • Lent Term 2007
    CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY RAMBLING CLUB Lent Term 2007 Welcome back to the Rambling Club. Once again, we invite you to leave the city for a few hours this term, and enjoy the surrounding countryside with us. The pace of our walks is generally easy, as our main aim is to relax and appreciate the local scenery and villages, and we have tried to provide a mixture of walks of different lengths. We usually stop at a village pub en route, but you should bring a packed lunch and a drink anyway as occasionally a walk doesn’t pass a pub, or we find that a pub is closed. Strong boots and waterproof clothing are also recommended. Your only expense is the bus or train fare (given below), plus our £1 annual membership fee. There is no need to sign up in advance to join any of this term’s walks – just turn up at the time and place given. Our meeting points are: Bus/Coach: At the corner of Drummer Street and Emmanuel Street. Train: In the main hall of Cambridge Railway Station. Saturday 20th January: "Swanning around Swavesey" Swavesey Circular 9 miles Contact: Steven For the first walk of term we head to the village of Swavesey, situated close to the River Ouse about 10 miles north-west of Cambridge. From here we'll explore the lakes and waterways of the nearby Fen Drayton Nature Reserve before visiting the village of Fenstanton. After lunch we'll walk along part of the River Ouse on our way back towards Swavesey for the bus home.

These were held in centres that hopefully enable all members to attend at least one gathering and meet the Branch Committee. The average number of attendees last year was 35. Besides members, the general public has been welcomed too. A speaker connected to the railway industry is invited to talk to members as well as the usual business of a meeting being conducted. This year, meetings have been held in Bury St Edmunds, Colchester (jointly with colleagues from the L&SE Eastern Division) Norwich and Peterborough (jointly with colleagues from the Lincolnshire Branch.) The Branch Committee has met on the same day as the above plus a planning meeting in Cambridge at the end of March. Each member of the Committee has a specific and agreed task. Before each meeting, the newsletter, "RailEast", has been produced and either posted or emailed to all members including Corporate Members. This year, in addition to the above, the Branch organised an all day national Summer conference, on behalf of the Board, in Cambridge. This was well attended and was agreed by attendees as a positive experience.

  • Melbourn Village College an Academy of the Cam Academy
    Melbourn Village College An Academy of The Cam Academy Trust Information Pack for the Post of Teacher of Computer Science An Introduction Thank you for requesting this information pack. I hope that it gives you an insight into the school as well as the relevant subject area and vacancy. Melbourn Village College is a successful 11-16 school with a strong community feel. At just over 600 pupils, our size enables all to flourish within a supportive environment, where each feel valued and empowered. Pupils are encouraged to continue their learning outside the classroom and a very high proportion get involved in the wide range of extra-curricular activities available to them. Our most recent OFSTED Inspection in September 2017 confirmed that we are a ‘good’ school which “has continued to improve the quality of education in the school” since our previous ‘Good’ judgement in May 2013. We are committed to improving what we do and aim to be outstanding. I look forward to working with you in the future. Simon Holmes – Principal School History Melbourn is a large village situated on the border of Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire, four miles from Royston and twelve miles from Cambridge. The school first opened in September 1959, the sixth of Henry Morris’s village colleges, from which the worldwide community school movement developed. It is an 11 – 16 community comprehensive school, serving a large area of South Cambridgeshire. Most pupils are drawn from the traditional catchment area, which covers eleven local villages and eight primary schools. Its southern boundary extends to the Hertfordshire border and its northern almost to the city of Cambridge.

  • THE STORY of an ENGLISH SAINT's CULT: an ANALYSIS of the INFLUENCE of ST ÆTHELTHRYTH of ELY, C.670
    THE STORY OF AN ENGLISH SAINT’S CULT: AN ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF ST ÆTHELTHRYTH OF ELY, c.670 – c.1540 by IAN DAVID STYLER A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham August 2019 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. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This thesis charts the history of the cult of St Æthelthryth of Ely, arguing that its longevity and geographical extent were determined by the malleability of her character, as narrated within the hagiographical texts of her life, and the continued promotion of her shrine by parties interested in utilising her saintly power to achieve their goals. Arranged chronologically and divided into five distinct periods, the thesis demonstrates that this symbiotic relationship was key in maintaining and elongating the life of the cult. Employing digital humanities tools to analyse textual, archaeological, material, cartographic, and documentary sources covering the cult’s eight-hundred-year history, the study charts its development firstly within East Anglia, and subsequently across the whole country, and internationally.
