  • 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Arts and Law University of Birmingham January 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

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.

  • An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: with a Catalogue of Artefacts
    An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: With a catalogue of artefacts By Esme Nadine Hookway A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MRes Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham March 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.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 Anglo-Saxon period spanned over 600 years, beginning in the fifth century with migrations into the Roman province of Britannia by peoples’ from the Continent, witnessing the arrival of Scandinavian raiders and settlers from the ninth century and ending with the Norman Conquest of a unified England in 1066. This was a period of immense cultural, political, economic and religious change. The archaeological evidence for this period is however sparse in comparison with the preceding Roman period and the following medieval period. This is particularly apparent in regions of western England, and our understanding of Shropshire, a county with a notable lack of Anglo-Saxon archaeological or historical evidence, remains obscure. This research aims to enhance our understanding of the Anglo-Saxon period in Shropshire by combining multiple sources of evidence, including the growing body of artefacts recorded by the Portable Antiquity Scheme, to produce an over-view of Shropshire during the Anglo-Saxon period.

  • The Murder of St. Wistan Pp.30-41
    THE MURDER OF ST. WIST AN by D. J. Bott I There is more than one ghost story connected with the quiet hamlet of Wistow, which lies off the London road about seven miles south from Leicester. As a resuln of the enclosure and depopulation which appear to have taken place in the early seventeenth century/ Wistow today is little more than the solitary church and the Elizabethan Hall, with its memories of the flight from Naseby, by their lake among the trees. On a summer's day one feels that, if the spot indeed be haunted, it must be by a gentle and tranquil spirit in spite of the scenes of violence said to have been enacted there. It is in keeping with this that Wistow Hall is now a Centre for International Christian Friendship and Service. The suffix -stow usually indicates a holy place, and Wistow in 1086 was known as Wistanestov, and in 1254 as Wystanstowe, 2 the holy place of Wistan. Behind that name lies a story of murder over one thousand years ago. It also gives rise to a problem of identification, and an attempt is made to establish an answer below. Before dealing with the story of Wistan, it is necessary to outline the background.3 The ninth century saw the decline of Mercia and the rise of Wessex. The last king of the Mercian line would appear to have been Ceolwulf I, and he was deposed in 823. The three succeeding kings, Beornwulf, Ludeca,4 and Wiglaf, who reigned in rapid succession, had been ealdormen of minor importance until they obtained power, and the Mercian defeat at Ellendun in 825 had left them rulers of a greatly reduced area.

  • L J'y Welcome to the Parish Church of the Holy Trinity, Wistanstow in the Diocese of Hereford
    .l j'Y Welcome to the Parish Church of the Holy Trinity, Wistanstow in the diocese of Hereford. The visitor enters the Church of the Holy tinity through the South'West door. The present South'West doorway is clearly pre-reformation as there is the remains of a Holy'Water Stoop in the inner door jam. Facing you as you enter the church is the Font. The font is a somewhat small round basin on an octagonal stem, which rests on two steps. The little moulding around the font corresponds with that on the tower piers and is probabiy of the same period i.e. the 14th century. Although the present church of the Holy Tiinity was mostly erected from 1180 - 1200 A.D. it is a Saxon foundation. Before the Norman conquest of 1066 it was one of the ancient possessions of St Alkmund Church, Shrewsbury. King Edgar the Peaceable (959- 975) endowed St. Alkmund's with ten Prebends (Cathedral benefice - revenue) one of which was the church of the Holy Tiinity, 'lTistanstowe (old spelling). King Edward the Confessor (1042 - 1066) gave this prebend to Godric'Wiffesume on whose death Earl Roger gave it to his physician Nigel. The Doomsday Book states that Nigel holds Wistanstowe of the King. '!7hen eventually the possessions of St. Alkmund's church went to found Lilleshall Abbey (east of Shrewsbury) in King Stephen's time (1135 - ll5$'STistanstowe passed to the abbey, under which it long continued to be held. The present church dates from the latter part ofthe 12th century, and is cruciform in shape: a form of church architecture introduced into Britain by the Normans.
