The sale topper was the outstanding young Ram Alpine Caspar, born in August, 2015. By the renowned Ben Lomond, known internationally as Toby, he is Group 2 for Scrapie resistance and had previously been selected for semen collection for New Zealand. After a strong bidding battle between a number of breeders, the winning call of 4,900 guineas came from Remarkable Valais Syndicate, Woodville, New Zealand. ALPINE CASPAR – SOLD FOR 4,900 GUINEAS The next lot in the ring was the outstanding female in the sale, Biner Nancy. Who made 4,000 guineas. A Swiss imported ewe born in March, 2014 and of outstanding breeding and quality, she provoked a fierce bidding war from several breeders, three of whom were on the telephone, resulted in her travelling home to Fife, Scotland with Glen Blacklock of Sanqhahar. BINER NANCY – SOLD FOR 4,000 GUINEAS The following lot in the ring was another outstanding female, this time the June, 2016 born Alpine Dominique, by Toby. With enormous show potential, she sold for 2,650 guineas to M A Jarman, Woonton, Herefordshire. The outstanding brood ewe, Zara who had been on a flushing programme for E T purposes was offered for sale open, and ready to breed again. Strong breeder interest again resulted in keen competition, with her eventually heading to Hampshire for 2,050 guineas, with Abigail Bolt and Emma Childs of New Forest Valais Blacknose Flock who also purchased the stock ram Alpine Rambo for 1150 guineas. There was, once again, an outstanding selection of April born E T ewe lambs sold at the foot of their recipient ewe. Berkshire based breeder Renee Snouckaert beat off all comers to purchase the top priced lamb, Alpine Elegance, a daughter of Highland Montana out the great Zara for 1,700 guineas; with another Scottish breeder Irene Steel of Thornhill, Dumfries taking her full sister, Alpine Enchanted, for 1,350 guineas. Leading the ram lambs at 1,150 guineas was the April born Alpine Elvis, another Montana sired lamb, this time out of Alpine Cindy, taking the journey home to Urmston, Greater Manchester with Miss S Coombes. This sale once again displayed the Valais Blacknose sheep to their full potential, and with customers from all over the UK showing keen interest the breed has undoubtedly established itself on the UK sheep breeding scene.

The day was topped at 1,200 guineas by the May, 2015 bull Ardbeg of Hellifield, from Robert Phillip’s Hellifield fold near Skipton. By Uallach Ruadh 2nd of Pollock, he had been shown successfully several times last year and went home with D M Thorp, Baslow, Derbyshire. Female trade was pretty lively throughout. The Show Championship, judged by Norfolk breeder Jim Ayres, was awarded to Cairistiona Dubh 1st of Stockley from Peter and Sue Smith, Hertfordshire, but sadly, at sale time, bidding failed to live up to their expectations and she was withdrawn. Top price of 1,000 guineas was paid for leading Yearling Heifer, Morag of Marrick Park, from Julia Carr, Richmond, Yorkshire. This January, 2016 born heifer by Emperor Ruadh of Knockendon, went home with N Goodwin, Belper, Derbyshire, who was also in for Julia Carr’s second prize winning Yearling Heifer Kaitlin of Marrick Park another Emperor daughter, this time born in May, 2016. Two outfits shared the leading price for Cows and Calves at 1,000 guineas. Firstly, Diorbhail 1st of West Edmondsley a January, 2011 cow from Edward Halford, County Durham with heifer calf at foot, went to G and M Mault, Denbighshire; followed immediately by Seonag 3rd of Bien Esk, a May, 2013 cow from Arthur and Suzanne Hill, Much Wenlock, who, with her bull calf at foot, went to Simon and Emma Hayley, Eggleston, County Durham. Averages: Two year Old Bulls £1,234 Yearling Bulls £431 Cows and Calves £1,008 Two and Three Year Old Heifers £546 Yearling Heifers £724.50 BEESTON STALL MARKETS Will continue to be held each Wednesday, but there will be NO Stall Markets on Bank Holiday Mondays. 12681 SHUBS, TREES & CONIFERS WEDNESDAY Auctioneer Jonathan Farrall 07796952948 “Another ‘blooming marvellous’ entry of shrubs.....” Trade not just to the dizzy heights of last week, but if it looked good, it sold well once again.

  • Brindley Archer Aug 2011
    William de Brundeley, his brother Hugh de Brundeley and their grandfather John de Brundeley I first discovered William and Hugh (Huchen) Brindley in a book, The Visitation of Cheshire, 1580.1 The visitations contained a collection of pedigrees of families with the right to bear arms. This book detailed the Brindley family back to John Brindley who was born c. 1320, I wanted to find out more! Fortunately, I worked alongside Allan Harley who was from a later Medieval re-enactment group, the ‘Beaufort companye’.2 I asked if his researchers had come across any Brundeley or Brundeleghs, (Medieval, Brindley). He was able to tell me of the soldier database and how he had come across William and Hugh (Huchen) Brundeley, archers. I wondered how I could find out more about these men. The database gave many clues including who their captain was, their commander, the year of service, the type of service and in which country they were campaigning. First Captain Nature of De Surname Rank Commander Year Reference Name Name Activity Buckingham, Calveley, Thomas of 1380- Exped TNA William de Brundeley Archer Hugh, Sir Woodstock, 1381 France E101/39/9 earl of Buckingham, Calveley, Thomas of 1380- Exped TNA Huchen de Brundeley Archer Hugh, Sir Woodstock, 1381 France E101/39/9 earl of According to the medieval soldier database (above), the brothers went to France in 1380-1381 with their Captain, Sir Hugh Calveley as part of the army led by the earl of Buckingham. We can speculate that William and Hugh would have had great respect for Sir Hugh, as he had been described as, ‘a giant of a man, with projecting cheek bones, a receding hair line, red hair and long teeth’.3 It appears that he was a larger than life character and garnered much hyperbole such as having a large appetite, eating as much as four men and drinking as much as ten.

By HEKRY DAWES HAEBOD, Esq., F.8.A. Read 15th February, 1900. THE defence of the liberties of Chester, which I am introducing to your notice to-night, is a defence by what we should call to-day constitutional methods. Herein it is exceptional for those times, which were used rather to the rough-and- ready defensive operations of the sword. For when William the Conqueror granted the earldom of Chester to his nephew Hugh Lupus, he granted it to him " to hold by the sword as freely as he held all England by the crown." And if there is in this grant an allusion to the right of the Earl of Chester to carry the curtana (or sword of justice) at the Eoyal Coronation, there is most assuredly a further and fuller reference to the unceasing vigilance and activity which the earls had to exercise in the defence of their city against the depredations of the Welsh and the protection of the West of England from the incursions of those turbulent people.

As such, it offers an ideal opportunity for a revisionary critique of pre- and early mod- ern English national identity from the vantage point of an explicitly regional literature. The provincial texts under review in this book— pageants, poems, and prose works created in Cheshire and its vicinity from the 1190s to the 1650s—work together to complicate persistent academic binaries of metropole and margin, center and periphery, and nation and region. In addition to the blurring of established spatial categories, the close study of early Cheshire writing and performance also serves to reconfigure England’s literary and social histories as pro- cesses of temporally uneven accretion.

  • Lct 2: Sandstone Ridge
    LCT 2: SANDSTONE RIDGE General Description The Sandstone Ridge stands prominently above the surrounding Plain and is visually one of the most distinctive landmarks in the Cheshire West and Chester landscape. It comprises a spine running roughly north-south from Helsby through Tarporley and on to Duckington for some 30 km, emerging and dropping back down into the plain as a series of scarps and sandstone outcrops. Helsby Hill and Beeston Crag are prominent isolated outliers. There are overlapping characteristics with the Sandstone Fringe character type, but the visual and topographic differences set it apart from this more intermediate landscape. The ridge has a very strong cultural and natural character for example there is a concentration of prehistoric sites, woodland and heathland, sandstone quarries and exposures and sandstone buildings, walls and sunken lanes. Visual Character This landscape exhibits varying degrees of enclosure and contrasting scales, due to the localised ridge and valley features of the undulating topography and a wide variation in woodland cover. At many locations solid blocks of woodland (including conifers) and high hedgerows combine to provide strong enclosure, creating an impression of a small-scale verdant landscape. The sense of enclosure by lush, dense vegetation is further reinforced when travelling along sunken roads between high hedges or valley bottoms below wooded ridge lines. Elsewhere, reduced tree cover leads to a more open landscape with a dominant hedgerow pattern, particularly evident from many elevated positions available along the network of narrow lanes. LCT 2: Sandstone Ridge 47 Expansive, long distance views provide an important element of this landscape type as they are widely available from the higher ground and contribute significantly to the distinctive character of the landscape.
