Garry Porter, e mail- [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robinson Equestrian ‘Requisite’ Horse Trailers – Warning of Potential Floor Failure Robinsons Equestrian retailer has sent out more than 150 letters to all owners of its Requisite trailers with timber flooring, warning of potential problems following a story in Horse & Hound (news, 4 August). It has also temporarily removed the trailers from its website. The letter, dated 2 August, states that Robinsons has "recently been made aware of a small number of instances where the integrity of the wooden floor structure has become compromised". The letter asks owners to check for extra "give" or a "springing feeling" from the floor to assess whether the trailer is at risk and to examine the underside of the floor, which is covered in a fibreglass membrane for signs of weakness. Robinsons started fitting aluminium floors last autumn — the company says the decision was part of a "natural progression". Managing director Jim Bentham said: "We fervently believe this is a bad batch of timber, and we are in conversation with our supplier, who has been on holiday." He added: "I would be happy to travel my horse in a Requisite trailer with an aluminium floor or a well-maintained timber floor." Horse Watch strongly advises anyone who owns any horse trailer or lorry to regularly check the condition of the floor. This check should include not only the floor itself, but also the trailer / vehicle chassis; the newest strongest floor in the world is no good if the supporting structure is weak or rotten.

  • Hawkins Jillian
    UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER FACULTY OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES The significance of the place-name element *funta in the early middle ages. JILLIAN PATRICIA HAWKINS Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2011 UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER ABSTRACT FACULTY OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The significance of the place-name element *funta in the early middle ages. Jillian Patricia Hawkins The Old English place-name element *funta derives from Late Latin fontāna, “spring”, and is found today in 21 place-names in England. It is one of a small group of such Latin-derived elements, which testify to a strand of linguistic continuity between Roman Britain and early Anglo- Saxon England. *funta has never previously been the subject of this type of detailed study. The continued use of the element indicates that it had a special significance in the interaction, during the fifth and sixth centuries, between speakers of British Latin and speakers of Old English, and this study sets out to assess this significance by examining the composition of each name and the area around each *funta site. Any combined element is always Old English. The distribution of the element is in the central part of the south- east lowland region of England. It does not occur in East Anglia, East Kent, west of Warwickshire or mid-Wiltshire or north of Peterborough. Seven of the places whose names contain the element occur singly, the remaining fourteen appearing to lie in groups. The areas where *funta names occur may also have other pre-English names close by.

  • A Place-Name Survey Introduction
    © Kelly Kilpatrick 2014. This research is made freely available and may be used without permission, provided that acknowledgement is made of the author, title and web-address. Saxons in the Meon Valley: A Place-Name Survey Dr Kelly A. Kilpatrick Institute for Name-Studies, University of Nottingham Introduction The Meon Valley in southern Hampshire is defined by the River Meon, a chalk river, which rises at the village of East Meon and flows to the Solent at Titchfield Haven. The Meon Valley area contains the parishes of East and West Meon, Warnford, Exton, Corhampton, Meonstoke, Droxford, Soberton, Wickham and Fareham (for Titchfield); also associated with this region are the parishes of Shedfield, Swanmore, Privett, Froxfield, Steep, Langrish and East and West Tisted. Place-names preserve information about topographic, linguistic and cultural conditions at the time of their formation, and therefore are a useful resource for investigating the past. The toponymic survey presented below is intended to compliment the ‘Story of the Saxons in the Meon Valley’ project, and to provide a general synopsis of the region’s Anglo-Saxon history through place- name evidence. This survey covers the geographical scope of the field-work carried out in the project. Firstly, an introduction to the Jutes of southern Hampshire is presented, followed by a discussion of the Meon River and the Meonware. The following toponymic survey adheres to the structure of the English Place-Name Society county survey volumes. The place-names are organised hierarchically by hundreds, then parishes. Major settlements are discussed first in each parish, followed by minor names of etymological interest arranged alphabetically.
