  • Brian Knight
    STRATEGY, MISSION AND PEOPLE IN A RURAL DIOCESE A CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF THE DIOCESE OF GLOUCESTER 1863-1923 BRIAN KNIGHT A thesis submitted to the University of Gloucestershire in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities August, 2002 11 Strategy, Mission and People in a Rural Diocese A critical examination of the Diocese of Gloucester 1863-1923 Abstract A study of the relationship between the people of Gloucestershire and the Church of England diocese of Gloucester under two bishops, Charles John Ellicott and Edgar Charles Sumner Gibson who presided over a mainly rural diocese, predominantly of small parishes with populations under 2,000. Drawing largely on reports and statistics from individual parishes, the study recalls an era in which the class structure was a dominant factor. The framework of the diocese, with its small villages, many of them presided over by a squire, helped to perpetuate a quasi-feudal system which made sharp distinctions between leaders and led. It is shown how for most of this period Church leaders deliberately chose to ally themselves with the power and influence of the wealthy and cultured levels of society and ostensibly to further their interests. The consequence was that they failed to understand and alienated a large proportion of the lower orders, who were effectively excluded from any involvement in the Church's affairs. Both bishops over-estimated the influence of the Church on the general population but with the twentieth century came the realisation that the working man and women of all classes had qualities which could be adapted to the Church's service and a wider lay involvement was strongly encouraged.

  • BUTLINS - Get to Know Us
    BUTLINS - Get To Know Us A lot of things have changed since Sir Billy Butlin opened our first resort in Skegness, Lincolnshire, in 1936 (he wouldn’t even recognise the resorts these days!), but the reason that we’re here remains the same. During the 1930s and the post-war years, Billy could see that Britain had become a stressful place and that families were weighed down with the burden of rebuilding a country. Life had become routine and mundane, words that Billy didn’t like very much at all. He knew that families needed a place where they could get away from it all and just spend some time together – having a laugh and rediscovering those little things that make their family special. He imagined a place of sparkling fun and relaxation for families. That place was our first Butlins resort. Today we know that families work harder and for longer hours than ever. The time we put aside for each other often gets lost in the daily grind – it’s easily done. Our three Butlins Resorts in Bognor Regis, Minehead and Skegness, offer the perfect place for families to unwind, have a great time together and they leave chock-full of precious memories. Yes, a lot has changed over the years, but our purpose remains the same. Generation X vs. Generation Y – A decade of online shopping. Online shopping is among the most popular internet activities and about 80% of the U. S. population buys online, with electronics and tourism (flights, travel, hotels) as the leading categories for online shopping.

    Historical Sites Butlin’s Skegness Butlin’s Skegness The Butlin’s brand name was to define the family holiday experience, and in doing so it was to change the face of the British leisure industry. The historical context Holiday trends in Britain in the early 20th century By the late 19th century, the railways had opened up most of the country to tourism and holidays in the countryside or, for most people, at the seaside. The initial beneficiaries of cheaper transport were the middle classes, but by the turn of the century the tradition of the British working-class holiday was firmly established, especially to seaside resorts, whether as a long stay visit or a daytrip. Resorts such as Blackpool, Scarborough and Southend became popular, and a whole entertainment industry sprung up to cater to tourists. The census of 1911 reveals that 55% of English people were visiting the seaside on day excursions, while 20% were talking holidays requiring accommodation. Many of the visitors could not afford to stay at expensive seafront hotels and sought out cheaper accommodation in guesthouses and “bed and breakfast” houses. The first guesthouses had a reputation for being run-down places, ruled by tyrannical landladies with lists of rules and regulations. As standards improved, families often returned to the same guesthouses year after year. Camping became popular in the late 19th century, and after the First World War, “pioneer camps” opened, offering basic accommodation with a “hands on” approach. Life under canvas increased in popularity in the inter-war period in line with the trend towards healthy outdoor living.

  • The Long Walk
    1 The Long Walk The Long Walk Introduction In February 1960, I had only been a member of Birchfield Harriers a few months and was still at school. In that short time I had the privilege of seeing and meeting many athletes who were at the time, ‘stars’. The word ‘superstar’ hadn’t yet been invented. I was in awe of athletes like Peter Radford; Mike Rawson; Mike Farrell and John Salisbury who all trained regularly at the old Alexander Stadium in Perry Barr. But who was that woman walking round the boards with a group of girls? She was one athlete that was soon to become a “superstar”, to me at least, even though the word at that stage wasn’t in my vocabulary. She was a 31 year old International Race Walker, holder of the British Mile record of 7 minutes 38.4 seconds set in 1954, had recently led a team of four to victory in the very first women’s walking international against Denmark in Copenhagen. She had been six times Midland mile track champion, four times British mile track champion, three times Midland road walking champion and the current British road walking champion. Her name was Beryl Randle. Before the days of the running boom in the late 70’s early 80’s and the advent of the fun run prompted by a certain James Fixx, there was an equivalent called the sponsored walk. This sprung from the efforts of a rather eccentric vegetarian by the name of Dr Barbara Moore who walked from John O’Groats to Land’s End amidst a blaze of publicity.
