  • Year 8 History Homework
    History at Turton We study History to know where we come from, create our identity and share the collective memory that defines us. No (wo) man is an island and everyone is shaped by the world around them. History is over 2000 years of mistakes and progress, lessons learned and forgotten. Through the acquisition of historical knowledge we gain emancipation, and thus endeavour to avoid repeating mistakes, so the world can flourish. Name: Form: Teacher: In this booklet you will find all of your homework for Year 8 History. 1 Week 1 Due date: The Battle of Bosworth The Battle of Bosworth was fought on August 22nd 1485. Henry Tudor had marched with his force from Milford Haven in Wales where he had landed with about 2000 men. The Battle of Bosworth is one of England’s defining battles as it ended the reign of Richard III and led to Henry Tudor becoming Henry VII, the first of the Tudor monarchs, a dynasty that lasted to 1603 and included the reign of two of England’s most famous monarchs – Henry VIII and his daughter Elizabeth I. To launch his campaign against Richard III, Henry needed money. This he got from Charles VIII of France who hoped that a conflict in England would suitably distract any attention away from his wish to take Brittany. Henry sailed from Harfleur on August 1st with a force of between 400 and 500 loyal followers and about 1500 French soldiers. The force landed at Milford Haven on August 7th and marched north along the Cardigan coastline before turning inland towards the Cambrian Mountains and then the River Severn which he followed to the English border.

  • Oliver Cromwell and the Conquest of Ireland
    Published on Reviews in History (https://reviews.history.ac.uk) God’s Executioner: Oliver Cromwell and the Conquest of Ireland Review Number: 777 Publish date: Friday, 31 July, 2009 Author: Micheál Ó Siochrú ISBN: 9780571218462 Date of Publication: 2008 Price: £14.99 Pages: 336pp. Publisher: Faber and Faber Place of Publication: London Reviewer: Jason Peacey The civil wars that engulfed the three kingdoms of England, Ireland and Scotland in the mid-17th century remain a battlefield, and generation after generation they retain a capacity to provoke passionate debate and heated historical controversy. Within this field, however, there is probably no single individual more likely to generate historiographical heat than Oliver Cromwell, utterly convincing analysis of whose complex personality continues to elude even the greatest of scholars. And within scholarship on Cromwell and the Cromwellian period there is no more controversial topic than his attitude towards, and activity in, Ireland. Cromwell’s name retains the capacity to inflame passions, and in at least some quarters he has become synonymous with religiously inspired brutality and atrocity, with something little short of ethnic cleansing, and with tyranny and military dictatorship. At the same time, however, he is capable of making the ‘top ten’ in a 2002 BBC poll of ‘greatest Britons’. It was perhaps inevitable, therefore, that the 350th anniversary of Cromwell’s death in 1658 would be commemorated, and that it would revive questions about his reputation. This book represents one of the most substantial and very best pieces of history to emerge from this latest example of academia’s penchant for anniversaries.

    The Interminable War? Cycles of Violence in Helen Edmundson's The Clearing K. Sarah-Jane Murray Baylor University The Clearing, Helen Edmundson's award-winning 1993 historical drama, explores the roots of the Anglo-Irish conflict by portraying the difficulties faced by a small farming community in County Kildare. Set over a period of three years—from 1652 to 1655—in the midst of Cromwellian Ireland (see Barnard), the narrative follows the gradual breakdown and disintegration of the marriage of Madeleine O'Hart, a spirited Irish girl, and Robert Preston, a Cambridge-educated gentleman. Robert, we learn, inherited an Irish estate from his deceased father a few years ago. Upon his arrival in Ireland, he and Madeleine fell in love despite the ferocious war raging between their two countries. But in The Clearing, it seems, love cannot conquer all. As the play progresses, Robert and Madeleine are forced to confront the political turmoil facing their countrymen and their relationship becomes more and more strained. The characters are literally torn apart by the deeply rooted political divisions fostered by Cromwell's "To Hell or Connaught" policy. Stagings of The Clearing, throughout its international production history, have been well received.1 However no study, to date, has explored the structure and implications of the play.2 Through the careful construction of her characters, Edmundson establishes the image of a deeply divided society, torn between two irreconcilable political extremes. The audience watches, helpless, as Robert and Madeleine become politically invested in a conflict which sets the tone for the ongo- ing tensions between Ireland and England today.

  • The Apprenticeship of George
    The Apprenticeship of George Fox Presidential Address to the Friends' Historical Society, 1965 By JANET PAYNE WHITNEY NE of the most interesting c uestions we can ask about If a great man is "How die. he become that way? What forces played upon his childish years? How did he develop in adolescence? And when manhood brought its major choice of a career, what influenced him? When a great character leaves behind him a detailed diary we are a long way towards answering those questions, and fortunately we have the journal of George Fox of which John Nickalls, one time the Librarian of the Religious Society of Friends, made a neat one-volume edition, carefully culling from all the available manuscripts. This is easy to handle, easy to read and has the benefit of an index. It is the edition to which page references can most readily be made.1 I am also the possessor of a first folio printed in 1694—the one prepared by George Fox's stepson-in-law Dr. Thomas Lower,2 with the long fascinating biographical preface by William Penn, and the testimony of Margaret Fox concerning her late husband George Fox. With all this one might hope not only to have, what we do have, a vivid impression of Fox the man—the leader, the friend, the husband—but also some account of his earliest disposition and development. But of the three witnesses mentioned, Penn, Lower and Margaret Fell all became acquainted with Fox in his maturity. We depend therefore upon George Fox alone to find out about his childhood and earliest youth.

  • CHESHIRE in the GREAT CIVIL WAR. by A. M. Robinson, F.R.G.S
    CHESHIRE IN THE GREAT CIVIL WAR. By A. M. Robinson, F.R.G.S. Read 7 til November, 1895. f^HESHIRE took a prominent part in the great v~^ struggle between King and Parliament, and Cheshire men influenced the course of English history more than would he anticipated from the geographical position of the county, or its size or its population. Whilst the King was at York, at the end of May, 1642, with thirty-two peers against forty-two who remained at Westminster, the Houses passed an ordinance for settling the Militia in such hands as they could confide in. The King, how­ ever, charged this to be against law, and required none should yield obedience thereto. He issued his Commissions of Array to the respective coun­ ties, appointing several persons of quality to array, train, and muster the people. This commission the Houses declared to be unlawful. As Rushworth says, the persons in the counties, acting by these opposite authorities, had many bickerings one with another. The King's proclamation given at York, 20th June, 1642, informed " all our loving subjects " of the lawfulness of our Commissions of Array, " issued into the several counties of our realm of " England and dominion of Whiles, and com- " manding them to obey our commissions therein 138 Cheshire in the great Civil War. " named." Both Houses of Parliament issued, on the ist July, 1642, a long " declaration" to prove the illegality of the King's action. And according to Hallam, the King's Commission of Array, al­ though not strictly conformable to law, was " justi- " fiable, as the means of opposing the Parlia- " merit's ordinance for the militia, at least equally " illegal." It appears that during June, July, and August of that year, " petitions " against the im­ pending resort to arms were addressed to the King by the county palatine of Lancaster, and by other counties, and were all duly and separately acknow­ ledged by his Majesty's order.

  • 1600S in Marston
    1600s in Marston Below are documents showing life in Marston in the 1600s. The Manor House The earliest history of the house now known as the Manor House is quite uncertain, but at least one book speaks of its 16th century character. This would have described the one house which is now in two — the Manor House and Cromwell’s House. What seems definite is that, in the times of James I, a young man called Unton Croke came down from his family home at Studley Priory and married a Marston heiress. He made her house “grander”, although a later writer called it “a heavy stone building, erected without much attention to elegance or regularity”. Croke was shrewd enough to support the Parliamentary cause during the Civil War, so that his house was the headquarters of General Fairfax during the siege of Oxford, was visited by Oliver Cromwell, and may have been used for the signing of the treaty following the siege. Unkton Croke was a lawyer and seems to have prospered during the Protectorate to such an extent that, after the Restoration, he was obliged, and able, to put up a bond of £4000 for the good behaviour of his Round-head son. If you look at the memorial to father and son on the northern side of the chancel in the church, you will see the change in fortune between the two generations. The Croke family interest had ended by 1690, when the house was lived in by Thomas Rowney, another wealthy lawyer who, early in the 18th century, gave the land for the building of the Radcliffe Infirmary.
