  • The Shropshire Enlightenment: a Regional Study of Intellectual Activity in the Late Eighteenth and Early Nineteenth Centuries
    The Shropshire Enlightenment: a regional study of intellectual activity in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries by Roger Neil Bruton A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham January 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract The focus of this study is centred upon intellectual activity in the period from 1750 to c1840 in Shropshire, an area that for a time was synonymous with change and innovation. It examines the importance of personal development and the influence of intellectual communities and networks in the acquisition and dissemination of knowledge. It adds to understanding of how individuals and communities reflected Enlightenment aspirations or carried the mantle of ‘improvement’ and thereby contributes to the debate on the establishment of regional Enlightenment. The acquisition of philosophical knowledge merged into the cultural ethos of the period and its utilitarian characteristics were to influence the onset of Industrial Revolution but Shropshire was essentially a rural location. The thesis examines how those progressive tendencies manifested themselves in that local setting.

  • The Bridges of Scotland
    THE BRIDGES OF SCOTLAND By James Macnaughton INTRODUCTION No one who has visited the country described in Hamish McCunn’s evocative tone poem as “The Land of the Mountain and the Flood” can deny that its spectacular and very varied landscapes prove that it is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. As indicated, the two main elements involved are the ancient mountains and the rainy climate. The latter has resulted in countless thousands of streams and rivers flowing down from the high tops to the sea coasts, and these have had a major effect on the lives of the inhabitants, because trying to cross them, particularly when in spate after heavy rain, could be very dangerous and over the millennia many lives were lost. To ease travel throughout the country fords or ferry boats were used where applicable, but obviously the more permanent and safer alternative was a bridge, and it is these ingenious and vital structures and their effect on Scottish history which I would like to look at in all their varying sizes, shapes and materials, some merely practical, others very beautiful. Bridges were and are so important that many towns and villages were named after them: Carr Bridge, Bridge of Don, Spean Bridge, Bridge of Earn, Coatbridge and most evocative of all – Rumbling Bridge – among many others. Of the thousands existing, I am going to choose a selection of the more interesting, showing how the ingenious and skilful bridge builders overcame seemingly impossible natural obstacles.

    The view from Down St Mary 780 to 2014 DSM timeline © Roger Steer 780 The Saxons reach the Tamar. During the period of the Saxons, the natural forests of Devon are gradually cleared and most of the villages and settlements we take for granted in the countryside are established. 905 Bishop Putta is murdered – some say at the spot where Copplestone cross stands. 909 Diocese of Crediton created. 934-53 Bishop Ethelgar collects funds for the building of St Mary’s Minster at Crediton. 974 Copplestone Cross, at the junction of Down St Mary with two other parishes until 1992, is mentioned in a charter, but is much older than that. It is early Celtic interlaced work such as is not found elsewhere in England except in Northumbria. The cross gives a name to a once noted Devon family which comes in the local rhyme: Crocker, Cruwys, and Coplestone, When the Conqueror came were found at home. Eleventh Century 1018 Buckfast Abbey is founded under the patronage of King Canute. 1040 The Manor of Down(e) named after the Saxon settlement DUN meaning Hill, first recorded as being the gift of King Harthacnut. (Harthacnut was king of Denmark from 1028 to 1042 and of England from 1040 to 1042. Some of the glebe land in the manor originally formed part of the Devon estates of Harthacnut’s father, Canute, king of England 1016-35.) Tenure is granted to Aelfwein, Abbot of Buckfast in support of the ministry of the Abbey Church. Down St Mary is one of six Devon churches held by the Abbot of Buckfast prior to the Norman conquest, the others being Churchstow, Petrockstow, South Brent, Trusham and Zeal Monachorum.
