Two great bells were given to the church of Our L ady at Stow, in the eleventh century either (for authorities differ) by Alfric, Archbishop of York, or by his successor Archbishop Kinsius. In 1566 the churchwardens reported that "the handbelles,'' which belonged to the church in Queen l\lary's time, had been " broken in peccs and sold to a tincker ano 1562."* There is a rhyme used here comparing the bells wi th those in some neighbouring parishes thus:- Marton's cracked pancheons, And Torksey egg-shells ; Saxilby ding-dong-s, And Stow-~lary bells.

    hereward and the Barony of Bourne file:///C:/EDrive/Medieval Texts/Articles/Geneaology/hereward.htm Lincolnshire History and Archaeology, 29 (1994), 7-10. Hereward 'the Wake' and the Barony of Bourne: a Reassessment of a Fenland Legend [1] Hereward, generally known as 'the Wake', is second only to Robin Hood in the pantheon of English heroes. From at least the early twelfth century his deeds were celebrated in Anglo-Norman aristocratic circles, and he was no doubt the subject of many a popular tale and song from an early period. [2] But throughout the Middle Ages Hereward's fame was local, being confined to the East Midlands and East Anglia. [3] It was only in the nineteenth century that the rebel became a truly national icon with the publication of Charles Kingsley novel Hereward the Wake .[4] The transformation was particularly Victorian: Hereward is portrayed as a prototype John Bull, a champion of the English nation. The assessment of historians has generally been more sober. Racial overtones have persisted in many accounts, but it has been tacitly accepted that Hereward expressed the fears and frustrations of a landed community under threat. Paradoxically, however, in the light of the nature of that community, the high social standing that the tradition has accorded him has been denied. [5] The earliest recorded notice of Hereward is the almost contemporary annal for 1071 in the D version of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. A Northern recension probably produced at York,[6] its account of the events in the fenland are terse. It records the plunder of Peterborough in 1070 'by the men that Bishop Æthelric [late of Durham] had excommunicated because they had taken there all that he had', and the rebellion of Earls Edwin and Morcar in the following year.

  • Large & Medium Size Farms
    VII THE PATTERN OF LAND OWNERSHIP AND FARMING IN GRASBY 1901 TO 1911 As well as the 1901 and 1911 censuses, the Land Tax Survey, made by Commissioners of the Inland Revenue in accordance with the Finance (1909/10) Act, 1910, provides the most detailed information about land ownership for this period since the enclosure records of nearly a century before. Sometimes known as “Lloyd George’s Domesday land-use survey”, its purpose was to raise tax. All properties were surveyed and valued. A 20% tax was then levied on any difference between the initial valuation and any future sale - a capital gains tax. Exemptions included farmland and plots smaller than 50 acres. Working maps, valuation maps, valuation books and field books were produced. Working maps and valuation books are available at the Lincoln Archives, but one has to go to the National Archives in Kew to see the valuation maps and field books. The population of Grasby fell to 355 in 1901, but had increased again slightly to 373 by 1911. The number of farmers resident in the parish, however, fell from 18 to 11 during this time. The land tax assessments not only provide information on the acreages of each farm, but also whether each field was owner-occupied or tenanted in 1910. Farming can be divided into three types in Grasby: large tenanted farms (200 acres+); medium size farms (30-199 acres) with, often, a mixture of owner -occupation and tenancy; and smallholders, also with a mixture of owner -occupation and tenancy. Large & Medium Size Farms By far the largest farm in 1910 was tenanted by Henry Dudding.

  • By NT Wright
    All Saints St. Mary’s NETTLEHAM PARISH CHURCH RISEHOLME PARISH CHURCH The Good News from Nettleham Sunday 9 February 2020 3 Before Lent No 135 Father Richard writes…. Revolution! Some books, today. Several of us are big fans of the theologian NT Wright (when he writes his hard books) or Tom Wright (when he writes his more readable stuff). Former Bishop of Durham, and now one of the world’s leading New Testament scholars he has inspiring ideas about many aspects of our faith, especially how we derive it from our reading of scripture. He has a recurrent theme of the crucifixion, the death of the eternal Word on the cross, being the seal and starting gun for a new creation – a transformed world not somewhere else and in the future, but here and now. “On earth as it is in heaven”. So the title of one of his most recent books is my flag to wave today, as we turn our backs on Christmas and start looking forward to Holy Week and Easter – The Day the Revolution Began. What does the Christ’s death on the cross and his resurrection mean for us? The beginning of a revolution. Not a bit of sympathetic churchgoing tacked onto our lives, but a revolution. There can be no transformation of us and our lives, no transformation of God’s created world and of all people, no triumph of justice and mercy over greed, oppression and selfishness, unless there is a revolution. The rule of God, not of human power – cosmic regime change.

Printed by Cupit Print, The Ropewalk, Horncastle, Lincolnshire, LN9 5ED 2 Introduction by Robert Lawrence Hay Bell aving the same names as his father (and same initials as his grandfather) it was perhaps inevitable that Robert Hay Bell would follow his father Hinto the family business of Land Agency. But by the tender age of 28 he had experienced more than many of us see in the whole of our lives. He was born during the First World War at Lansdowne, Spilsby Road, Horncastle, the fourth child of six and the eldest son. His father was an auctioneer and land agent and came from a family of factors or land agents who had started in Perthshire. His great grandfather, George Bell, had secured the post of resident land agent on the Revesby Estate in 1842 bringing his family to Lincolnshire. His quick open mind fostered an interest in a wide variety of subjects including, centrally, agriculture. It was his perseverance that kept Horncastle cattle market going (perhaps beyond its natural life).
