CHURCHILL ACKNOWLEDGMENTS It is a pleasure to acknowledge the help given to me thirty-three years ago by Dr. E. G. W. Bill, now the Librarian of Lambeth Palace Library. In those distant days Geoffrey Bill provided me with much information concerning Churchill landholdings in the Christ Church Manor of Deddington in the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Equally, I am happy to thank my distant kinsman, Dr. Gerald Tibbitts, Sub-Librarian of University of London Library, for many stimulating discussions on the origins of our common ancestors. Finally, I must record my deep indebtedness to Mr. Colin G. Harris of the Bodleian Library, who has always responded most generously from his vast store of knowledge to any of my frequent enquiries over the past ten years. Thomas B. L. Churchill. IN MEMORIAM PARENTUM" THOMAS BELL LINDSAY CHURCHILL General Tom Churchill comes of an old Oxfordshire yeoman family whose origins go back to the fifteenth century. During the days of Empire representatives of his family served in India and Ceylon as soldiers and civil engineers, and in the two World Wars they fought and died in the service of their king. In 1926, Tom Churchill passed in 7th to the Royal Military College (as it was called then), Sandhurst, thereby gaining a prize cadetship, and he passed out sixth, winning the prize sword for Military History in the following year. He joined The Manchester Regiment in Burma in 1927 and three years later moved to Secunderabad, Deccan, India. In 1931 the Regiment was recalled to Burma because the Burma Rebellion had broken out, and a force of brigade strength was sent to that country to quell the outbreak. Churchill commanded his platoon in an isolated village post a few miles east of Prome in the southern Irrawaddy District, and after a month of ceaseless searching in the paddy fields, villages and jungle by day and night, managed to confront a rebel gang, kill the leader and two of his confederates, and capture the remainder. Churchill was mentioned in Despatches and awarded the Military Cross for his leadership in the hunt. He was aged 24. After being made Adjutant of his Regiment (the youngest in the Army), he moved with his battalion to the Sudan, and then in 1933, returned to England. Two years later Tom Churchill was appointed instructor in the interpretation of air photographs, and in due course became the expert in this form of intelligence. When war was imminent he ran courses to teach RAF Bomber Command intelligence officers how to estimate bomb damage to factories, railway yards and ports. Later he assisted in establishing the inter-service interpretation establishment at Medmenham, where later the German flying bombs were discovered. He was attached to RAF Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain, but, tiring of a job on the staff, he joined the Army Commandos for the invasion of Sicily, and the landing at Salerno in Italy. When his friend Sir Robert Laycock was made Director of Combined Operations, in succession to Lord Louis Mountbatten, Tom succeeded Laycock as commander of the Commando Brigade in Italy. He led it in the landing at Anzio, and then took command of the island of Vis in the Adriatic, which he put in a state of defence, as the Germans were occupying all the other Yugoslav islands lying between Split and Dubrovnik. In June 1944, Marshal Josip Broz Tito was chased out of Yugoslavia by a German parachute raid at Drvar in Montenegro, and was brought by British destroyer to Vis. Churchill and his Commando Brigade guaranteed his safety, and Tom came to know him well. It was also on Vis Island that he met Fitzroy Maclean, later Sir Fitzroy, and made a lasting friend of this outstanding guerrilla leader. In September 1944 he landed with his Commando Brigade in Albania, where, after a hard fight in appalling weather, he defeated the Germans at Sarande (Santa Quaranta), cut off their retreat to Germany, and went on to liberate the island of Corfu. After the war, Churchill commanded the British Zone in Austria He was then appointed as Major General in charge of administration in the Far East Command, with headquarters at Singapore, and then became Vice Quartermaster General to the Forces at the War Office. His final appointment was as Deputy Chief of Staff of the Land Forces in NATO at Fontainebleau. In 1948 Churchill was sent a copy of General Eisenhower's book, Crusade In Europe. On the fly-leaf Ike had written: - For Brigadier T.B.L Churchill For admiration and high esteem to a brilliant leader in World War II. Dwight D Eisenhower. THE MARLBOROUGH CHURCHILLS: AUTHORS REMARKS The first Winston Churchill (1620 - 1688), the father of John Churchill (created 1st Duke of Marlborough) alleged (but without proof) that he was descended from Gitto de Leon (living in 1055) of a noble family in Normandy; and he averred that Gitte’s grandson, Roger de Courcil, attended William, Duke of Normandy in

Washington, D.C. 20036 [TRANSCRIPT PREPARED FROM TAPE RECORDINGS.] 2 PANEL ONE: Moderator: RON HASKINS, Senior Fellow Economic Studies, Brookings Overview: DONALD HERNANDEZ, Professor of Sociology, University at Albany, SUNY MELVIN NEUFELD, Kansas State House of Representatives, Chairman, Kansas House Appropriations Committee RUSSELL PEARCE, Arizona State House of Representatives, Chairman, Arizona House Appropriations Committee FELIX ORTIZ, New York State Assembly 3 THIS IS AN UNCORRECTED TRANSCRIPT. P R O C E E D I N G S MR. HASKINS: Good morning. My name is Ron Haskins. I'm a senior fellow here at Brookings and also a senior consultant at the Annie Casey Foundation. I'd like to welcome you to today's session on children of immigrant families. The logic of the problem that we're dealing with here is straightforward enough, and I think it's pretty interesting for both people left and right of center. It turns out that we have a lot of children who live in immigrant families in the United States, and a large majority of them are already citizens, even if their parents are not. And again, a large majority of them will stay here for the rest of their life. So they are going to contribute greatly to the American economy for four or five decades, once they get to be 18 or 21, whatever the age might be.

    Post-Medieval and Modern Resource Assessment

    THE SOLENT THAMES RESEARCH FRAMEWORK RESOURCE ASSESSMENT POST-MEDIEVAL AND MODERN PERIOD (AD 1540 - ) Jill Hind April 2010 (County contributions by Vicky Basford, Owen Cambridge, Brian Giggins, David Green, David Hopkins, John Rhodes, and Chris Welch; palaeoenvironmental contribution by Mike Allen) Introduction The period from 1540 to the present encompasses a vast amount of change to society, stretching as it does from the end of the feudal medieval system to a multi-cultural, globally oriented state, which increasingly depends on the use of Information Technology. This transition has been punctuated by the protestant reformation of the 16th century, conflicts over religion and power structure, including regicide in the 17th century, the Industrial and Agricultural revolutions of the 18th and early 19th century and a series of major wars. Although land battles have not taken place on British soil since the 18th century, setting aside terrorism, civilians have become increasingly involved in these wars. The period has also seen the development of capitalism, with Britain leading the Industrial Revolution and becoming a major trading nation. Trade was followed by colonisation and by the second half of the 19th century the British Empire included vast areas across the world, despite the independence of the United States in 1783. The second half of the 20th century saw the end of imperialism. London became a centre of global importance as a result of trade and empire, but has maintained its status as a financial centre. The Solent Thames region generally is prosperous, benefiting from relative proximity to London and good communications routes. The Isle of Wight has its own particular issues, but has never been completely isolated from major events.

In his introduction to that volume, moved by a pardonable enthusiasm, he wrote-perhaps not altogether advisedly- " It will some day seem a wonderful thing that men once thought that they could write the history of mediaeval England without using the Year Books." 1 Since then that sentence has been frequently repeated, although it is to be feared that for the most part historians have turned a deaf ear to its warning: and lately Mr.

The job involved checking designs submitted by other architects, and brought him commissions of his own. Also in 1850 he made his first visit to the Continent, touring Northern France. He later published important books on Gothic architecture in Italy and Spain. The Diocese of Oxford is extraordinarily fortunate to possess so much of his work In 1852 he moved to Oxford. Important commissions included Cuddesdon College, in 1853, and All Saints, Boyne Hill, Maidenhead, in 1854. In the next year Street moved to London, but he continued to check designs for the Oxford Diocesan Building Society, and to do extensive work in the Diocese, until his death in 1881. In Berkshire alone he worked on 34 churches, his contribution ranging from minor repairs to complete new buildings, and he built fifteen schools, eight parsonages, and one convent. The figures for Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire are similar. Street’s new churches are generally admired. They include both grand town churches, like All Saints, Boyne Hill, and SS Philip and James, Oxford (no longer in use for worship), and remarkable country churches such as Fawley and Brightwalton in Berkshire, Filkins and Milton- under-Wychwood in Oxfordshire, and Westcott and New Bradwell in Buckinghamshire. There are still some people for whom Victorian church restoration is a matter for disapproval. Whatever one may think about Street’s treatment of post-medieval work, his handling of medieval churches was informed by both scholarship and taste, and it is George Edmund Street (1824–81) Above All Saints, Boyne His connection with the Diocese a substantial asset for any church to was beyond doubt one of the Hill, Maidenhead, originated in his being recommended have been restored by him.

HE publication in four successive numbers of The Whitehall Review of the names of those Protestants who have become Catholics since the Tractarian move ment, led to the almost general suggestion that Rome's Recruits should be permanently embodied in a pamphlet. This has now been done. The lists which appeared in The Whitehall Review have been carefully revised, corrected, and considerably augmented ; and the result is the compilation of what must be regarded as the first List of Converts to Catholicism of a reliable nature. While the idea of issuing such a statement of" Perversions " or " Conversions " was received with unanimous favour — for the silly letter addressed to the Morning Post by Sir Edward Sullivan can only be regarded as the wild effusion of an ultra-Protestant gone very wrong — great curiosity has been manifested as to the sources from whence we derived our information. The modus operandi was very simple. Possessed of a considerable nucleus, our hands were strengthened immediately after the appearance of the first list by 071 XT PREFACE. the co-operation of nearly all the converts themselves, who hastened to beg the addition of their names to the muster-roll.
