You are a mirror reflecting a noble face.” Look inside yourself; everything that you need to find, you will find there. If you look to others for fulfilment, you will never truly be fulfilled. If your happiness depends on money, you will never be happy with yourself. Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realise there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you. “Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” - Carl Jung Loving God, be with me as I look within, that I may find your divine spark there, along with everything I could need; and in finding the spark, may I rejoice in you. Amen.

  • Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office
    Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office This list summarises the Norfolk Record Office’s (NRO’s) holdings of parish (Church of England) registers and of transcripts and other copies of them. Parish Registers The NRO holds registers of baptisms, marriages, burials and banns of marriage for most parishes in the Diocese of Norwich (including Suffolk parishes in and near Lowestoft in the deanery of Lothingland) and part of the Diocese of Ely in south-west Norfolk (parishes in the deanery of Fincham and Feltwell). Some Norfolk parish records remain in the churches, especially more recent registers, which may be still in use. In the extreme west of the county, records for parishes in the deanery of Wisbech Lynn Marshland are deposited in the Wisbech and Fenland Museum, whilst Welney parish records are at the Cambridgeshire Record Office. The covering dates of registers in the following list do not conceal any gaps of more than ten years; for the populous urban parishes (such as Great Yarmouth) smaller gaps are indicated. Whenever microfiche or microfilm copies are available they must be used in place of the original registers, some of which are unfit for production. A few parish registers have been digitally photographed and the images are available on computers in the NRO's searchroom. The digital images were produced as a result of partnership projects with other groups and organizations, so we are not able to supply copies of whole registers (either as hard copies or on CD or in any other digital format), although in most cases we have permission to provide printout copies of individual entries.

  • Kett's Rebellion 1548
    Jackie Morrallee Revised October 2009 Civil Disturbances Kett’s Rebellion 1549 “It was a time of poverty, uncertainty and shifting fortunes.” These were the comments made by Bruce Robinson1 and seem to accurately sum up the prevailing mood throughout the country during the middle of the sixteenth century. In January 1549 Crammer‟s Book of Common Prayer was introduced and the first full English Church Service was conducted, to further rid the churches of all traces of papal influence, stained glass windows and statues of saints were being smashed, painted walls white-washed and vestments sold. With the increasing resentment felt for the gentry by local agricultural communities due the practice of enclosing common land on which villagers grazed their sheep and cultivated their crops and the upheaval brought about by the Protestant reforms, the country had become a powder keg that was waiting to explode. Though East Anglia seems to have accepted the religious movement towards the Common Prayer Book and all that it entailed, there was anger at the gradual erosion over the years of their right to graze their livestock and grow their crops. In 1520 the villagers of Sculthorpe outside Fakenham, had made representation to the Star Chamber that Sir Henry Fermour had pastured 800 sheep on the whole of the common land when he actually owned only just five acres common land. At Walsingham in 1537, under the cover of an archery competition held at Binham2, a plot was uncovered to organize a protest against what was a local injustice and which later led to the execution of the leaders.

  • The Sheep,Corn Husbandry of Norfolk in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries by K
    The Sheep,Corn Husbandry of Norfolk in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries By K. J. ALLISON I URING the later seventeenth century and throughout the eighteenth, new methods of husbandry were gradually established in Norfolk. The new 'Norfolk Husbandry', developed above all in the north- west of the county, involved crops, rotations, methods of stock feeding, and conditions of land tenure which greatly improved upon earlier practices. In the eighteenth century, Townshend, Coke, L'Estrange, and Walpole were prominent in the systematic development of the new husbandry, but it should be remembered that the various individual practices were being gradually introduced by a multitude of small farmers long before the big estate owners achieved their fame. The object of this paper is to describe the older system which was to be transformed into the new 'Norfolk Husbandry' by the enclosure of open arable fields and commons. If the Broads and Fens are excluded, an open-field, sheep-corn husbandry can be discerned over about two-thirds of the county in the later Middle Ages and the sixteenth century. The other third, distinguished on Fig. I, may appropriately be called the Wood-Pasture Region with its heavier and inherently more fertile soils. The contrast was well appreciated in the past: one seventeenth-century writer noted that the county "is compownded and sorted of soyles apte for grayne and sheepe, and of soyles apt for woode and pasture. ''1 In the area of grain and sheep, with which this paper is princi- pally concerned, the soils were light or medium in character and their sandi- ness made them relatively (and sometimes absolutely) infertile.

Tanja Gradečak Erdeljić Osijek, 2011 Abstract This diploma paper deals with toponyms, also referred to as place names, which can be found on the British Isles as evidence of different linguistic influences that shaped the English language. The aim of this paper is to give a brief overview of naming patterns and affixes that were used in the processes of naming. The toponyms are presented in five groups that are arranged in a chronological order as the settlements on the Isles occurred. Before the groups are discussed, a short overview of a theoretical part concerning toponymy is provided. The first group consists of Celtic settlers, followed by the Roman invasion, the conceiving of the Old English by the Anglo- Saxons, Viking raids and conquering, and the last group being the Normans. A short overview of the peoples’ settlement or colonization is given for every group, as well as place names and their influence on the English language.

  • A Glossary of South Australian Place Names - from Aaron Creek to Zion Hill
    A Glossary of South Australian Place Names - From Aaron Creek to Zion Hill A We are said to be making history, but are we not lacking in courtesy in effacing the history of a less fortunate people whom we have displaced… It surely is not necessary to close the annals of this inoffensive simple race, certainly it is not generous of us to destroy their only records, nor is it wise to exclude from mental view the panorama of their past. (Charles Hope Harrris (1846-1915), (Colonial Surveyor} Aaron Creek - It runs through section 34, Hundred of Waitpinga, and recalls Aaron Bennett, who arrived in the Indian in 1849, aged forty, owned section 111 in the same Hundred which he sold to James Collins for £28/10/0 in January 1857. In December 1920, Mr W. Bennett of Delamere, the second son of Aaron Bennett, celebrated his diamond wedding. He came to South Australia with his parents… following which his father was employed as a wheelwright by Mr J.G. Coulls in Blyth Street. Within a few years he had accumulated sufficient funds to purchase land in southern Fleurieu Peninsula and it was there he engaged in mixed farming. The family travelled from Adelaide in a bullock dray over rough tracks and the journey occupied a fortnight. There were no improvements on the place of any kind - neither house, fencing nor cleared land. The first work was to build a house, of slabs, with thatch roof and earth floor, calico windows and containing three rooms in which the family lived for a number of years.
