Two polished stone axe heads found at Leigh cricket ground and Boar’s Head Railway Station; a bronze age battle axe found in Walkden Avenue Swinley, Wigan; a flint spear head found in New Springs, Wigan and a flint scraper found in Winstanley. A large prehistoric ditch has been unearthed by Manchester University archeologists at Gadbury Fold, Atherton. In the bottom of the ditch was a large prehistoric flint scraper. These items are stored at Wigan History Shop. Before the Roman invasion, Wigan was in the province known as Brigantes and occupied by the Britanni Celtic tribes. Celtic place names still exist today, Bryn meaning hill, Makerfield and Ince meaning water meadow or island. The Britanni did not build towns or cultivate the land, but lived by hunting and gathering the fruit of the trees. Wigan was an area of forest and marshland and the wild animals would have been bears, wolves, wild boars and beavers. The dark area shows the Brigantes province and looks almost the same as Lancashire today. 5 RROOMMAANNSS IINN WWIIGGAANN -- CCoocccciiuumm Roman Remains Found in Wigan In 2005, during the excavations for the foundations of The Grand Arcade, Millgate, Wigan, extensive Roman remains were found. Oxford Archeology North uncovered a huge 2nd century colonnaded building which was thought to be a Mansio (a Roman hotel). This contained a hypocaust (Roman central heating system) and a bath house. Nearby they found hearths where lead was processed and 2000 pieces of Roman pottery and 1½ tons of Roman building material. In 1982 the remains of several Roman buildings were found in the Wiend. These buildings date from the first century A.D. The Wigan Children’s Library has since been built on this site. In 2007 further Roman remains have been found behind the children’s library in the Wiend. Other Roman ‘artefacts’ have been found in Wigan, ‘pagan idols’ were found under the parish church in 155l and part of an altar to the Roman god Mithras is now built into a wall of the church tower. It was traditional for Christian churches to be built on the site of pagan temples. Roman coins were found in the Market Place in 1837 and in 1850 a very rare gold coin of the emperor Vitellius (who only reigned for a few months in AD69) was found in Mesnes Park. In 1822 Roman Cremation urns were discovered during the building of the gas works in Chapel Lane and archaeologists believe this to be the site of a Roman cemetery. Coccium The Romans first visited Britain peacefully in 43 BC, but in AD 43 Emperor Claudius invaded Britain. In about AD70 the Romans arrived in the North West and decided to erect a fort near a river. They called the settlement Coccium. This name is mentioned by Antonius, in his book of the second century AD, as being 17 Roman miles from Manchester. It was an important military station. Wigan was chosen for the site of a Roman fort because it had hills and the River Douglas, which would have been wider than it is now. Other reasons for choosing Wigan were the natural resources such as cannel coal and iron ore. The Romans were the first to mine coal in Wigan. Wigan was also important

The historical documents are few, and the surviving evidence of the past with regard to our smallest cathedral is scanty at the best. The chief books of reference have been Browne Willis's valuable "Survey of St. Asaph,'' published in 1720, also Edwards' edition of the same published at Wrexham in 1801, and the learned work by the Ven. Archdeacon Thomas, M.A., F.S.A., on " The Diocese of St. Asaph." " Storer's Cathedrals," pub- lished in i8ig, together with similar works, have also been consulted.

  • DISSERTATION-Submission Reformatted
    The Dilemma of Obedience: Persecution, Dissimulation, and Memory in Early Modern England, 1553-1603 By Robert Lee Harkins A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Ethan Shagan, Chair Professor Jonathan Sheehan Professor David Bates Fall 2013 © Robert Lee Harkins 2013 All Rights Reserved 1 Abstract The Dilemma of Obedience: Persecution, Dissimulation, and Memory in Early Modern England, 1553-1603 by Robert Lee Harkins Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Ethan Shagan, Chair This study examines the problem of religious and political obedience in early modern England. Drawing upon extensive manuscript research, it focuses on the reign of Mary I (1553-1558), when the official return to Roman Catholicism was accompanied by the prosecution of Protestants for heresy, and the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603), when the state religion again shifted to Protestantism. I argue that the cognitive dissonance created by these seesaw changes of official doctrine necessitated a society in which religious mutability became standard operating procedure. For most early modern men and women it was impossible to navigate between the competing and contradictory dictates of Tudor religion and politics without conforming, dissimulating, or changing important points of conscience and belief. Although early modern theologians and polemicists widely declared religious conformists to be shameless apostates, when we examine specific cases in context it becomes apparent that most individuals found ways to positively rationalize and justify their respective actions. This fraught history continued to have long-term effects on England’s religious, political, and intellectual culture.

  • The Story of a Man Called Daltone
    - The Story of a Man called Daltone - “A semi-fictional tale about my Dalton family, with history and some true facts told; or what may have been” This story starts out as a fictional piece that tries to tell about the beginnings of my Dalton family. We can never know how far back in time this Dalton line started, but I have started this when the Celtic tribes inhabited Britain many yeas ago. Later on in the narrative, you will read factual information I and other Dalton researchers have found and published with much embellishment. There also is a lot of old English history that I have copied that are in the public domain. From this fictional tale we continue down to a man by the name of le Sieur de Dalton, who is my first documented ancestor, then there is a short history about each successive descendant of my Dalton direct line, with others, down to myself, Garth Rodney Dalton; (my birth name) Most of this later material was copied from my research of my Dalton roots. If you like to read about early British history; Celtic, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Normans, Knight's, Kings, English, American and family history, then this is the book for you! Some of you will say i am full of it but remember this, “What may have been!” Give it up you knaves! Researched, complied, formated, indexed, wrote, edited, copied, copy-written, misspelled and filed by Rodney G. Dalton in the comfort of his easy chair at 1111 N – 2000 W Farr West, Utah in the United States of America in the Twenty First-Century A.D.

  • NOTES on the MASOY and LATHOM PEDIGREES. in a Recent
    201 NOTES ON THE MASOY AND LATHOM PEDIGREES. In a recent number· of thiH magazine,1 I shewed that the last baron of Dunham had three daughters hy his wife Mary Beauchamp, who were hii; coheirs; and then di~cussed at some length the repre• sentation of two of them. Not wishing, however, to overload that paper with details, I was content merely to mention Dionysia, the second daughter, whose issue was by inference extinct in 1386, hoping to deal more fully with her upon another occasion, and at the same time to add a few notes, of interrogation chiefly, about her husband's family. Sir Peter Leycester tells us, in reference to her, that "another daughter," whom he does not name, "married Thomas de Latham, and had four daughters, who had issue." Dr. Ormerod, when drawing up a pedigree of T,athom for the Collectanea/ accepted this statement on Leyee8tcr'H authority, and put her down as first wife of Sir Thomas Lathom, the elder. .But evidently he had his doubts; for in a pedigree of Latham, subsequently printed in his Miscellanea Palatina and Parentalia, he relegated the lady to a footnote. Turning to the claims made by Mascy's coheirs in 1344, we find that Dionysia was then dead, and was represented by four daughters• Lucy, wife of Thomas Lestrange of Knokyn ; Alice; Katherine, wife of 'I'homas de Hacford (Hakford or Hakeford); and Cecilia, wife of Richard de Bradeshagh.3 Of the fines with Henry of Lancaster, Earl of Derby, next year, Lucy and Cecilia, with their husbands and Alice, are parties to one, while Katherine and her husband fine separately from the rest.! Bradeshagh and Lestrange, with their wives, the former being described as of Pynynton, join in the bond of 1346, but Katherine and Alice are not there named.P So far we have no clue to Dionysia's husband.
