Introduction This Neighbourhood Profile for the North area of the city covers the following wards: Kings Hedges, Arbury, East Chesterton and West Chesterton. The profiles have been collated by the City Council’s Neighbourhood Community Development Team (NCDT) as a tool to developing work plans for the coming year and beyond. The profiles aim to capture key facts and statistics about the area, services that are delivered by the Council and other statutory and voluntary sector partners, key community groups and activities in the area as well as what are perceived to be gaps in provision. Focus groups were held with residents and community groups in each area to identify both positive perceptions of the community as well as identifying issues and gaps from a resident’s perspective. The NCDT has recently realigned its community development resources to work in the areas of highest need in the city.

  • The Livery Collar: Politics and Identity in Fifteenth-Century England
    The Livery Collar: Politics and Identity in Fifteenth-Century England MATTHEW WARD, SA (Hons), MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy AUGUST 2013 IMAGING SERVICES NORTH Boston Spa, Wetherby West Yorkshire, lS23 7BQ www.bl.uk ANY MAPS, PAGES, TABLES, FIGURES, GRAPHS OR PHOTOGRAPHS, MISSING FROM THIS DIGITAL COPY, HAVE BEEN EXCLUDED AT THE REQUEST OF THE UNIVERSITY Abstract This study examines the social, cultural and political significance and utility of the livery collar during the fifteenth century, in particular 1450 to 1500, the period associated with the Wars of the Roses in England. References to the item abound in government records, in contemporary chronicles and gentry correspondence, in illuminated manuscripts and, not least, on church monuments. From the fifteenth century the collar was regarded as a potent symbol of royal power and dignity, the artefact associating the recipient with the king. The thesis argues that the collar was a significant aspect of late-medieval visual and material culture, and played a significant function in the construction and articulation of political and other group identities during the period. The thesis seeks to draw out the nuances involved in this process. It explores the not infrequently juxtaposed motives which lay behind the king distributing livery collars, and the motives behind recipients choosing to depict them on their church monuments, and proposes that its interpretation as a symbol of political or dynastic conviction should be re-appraised. After addressing the principal functions and meanings bestowed on the collar, the thesis moves on to examine the item in its various political contexts.

  • The Pentrich Rebellion – a Nottingham Affair?
    1 The Pentrich Rebellion – A Nottingham Affair? Richard A. Gaunt Department of History, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, UK Department of History, School of Humanities, University Park, Nottingham, NG7 2RD [email protected] Richard A. Gaunt is Associate Professor in Modern British History at the University of Nottingham. 2 The Pentrich Rebellion – A Nottingham Affair? This article re-considers Nottingham’s role in the events immediately preceding the Pentrich Rebellion of 9-10 June 1817, as well as its reaction on the night of the Rebellion and during its aftermath. It does so in light of two continuing areas of historiographical debate: Nottingham’s status as a radical, potentially revolutionary, town, and the Rebellion’s links to Luddism. Nottingham loomed large in the planning and course of the Rebellion; it was heavily influenced by the work of a secret committee centred on Nottingham, the North Midlands Committee, which provided essential points of contact with the villages at the heart of the Rebellion. It was also a Rebellion led by a Nottingham man, Jeremiah Brandreth, ‘the Nottingham Captain’. However, the effective role played by Nottingham Corporation, in treading the fine line between revolution and reaction, the inability of the radicals to persuade would-be rebels that they had an effective plan, and the ability of the local magistrates and the Home Office to gather intelligence about the Rebellion, all worked against it. The chances of a successful reception in Nottingham were always much lower than the Rebels anticipated. Keywords: Nottingham: Jeremiah Brandreth: Luddism: Duke of Newcastle: Oliver the Spy Late in the evening of Monday 9 June 1817, some 50-60 men set out from the villages of Pentrich and South Wingfield in Derbyshire on a fourteen-mile march towards Nottingham.
