That legacy is now by so much the greater, and this volume was from the first conceived as a tribute to Dr Betttey’s services to the history of the region. For a start, he has written more of it than any one else, work which goes on to this day. And he has done much more. As Reader in Local History at the University of Bristol, he not only taught and inspired other local historians, but also helped to establish the study as a full and proper form of historical discipline. As Editor of this Society for many years he brought other people’s work to the public; and he did the same in helping Peter Harris with that other remarkable series by which Bristol is distinguished, the BBHA booklets. He has always been ready to encourage and to assist other historians; and one could fill pages with the titles of the works in which his help has been acknowledged. His Presidency of the British Association for Local History (2000–2005) was indeed richly deserved. His own work has been particularly focussed on religious history, and the theme of this volume has been chosen to reflect this. Indeed it has benefitted from his advice. If it is still not quite the volume that he might have made it, yet there is nothing lacking in the respect and affection which have inspired it. I must here pay tribute to Professor Jonathan Barry. He has throughout been a most valuable colleague, always ready with comment, suggestion and detailed proof- reading; but never imposing his authority as il miglior fabbro. He has supplied much more of the material than my attributions would indicate. But that he should not be held responsible for the errors of commission wand omission which remain, he should be named as co-author. Much of the research for this volume was done at the Bristol Record Office. Now renamed Bristol Archives, nothing else has changed, and all the staff are as helpful and friendly as ever. I have also made full use of the on-line access to the ODNB, to EEBO (Early Engish Books on Line) and State Papers, all by virtue of the hospitality of the University of the West of England. I and the Society thank Mr D Bond, Dr G Gibbons, Miss M Parker, Mr J Rhodes and Mr R Starr for their generous donations which have been allocated to the publication of this work. Finally I must thank my wife who has born my pre-occupied deafness with considerable patience; and my daughters who have always been ready to read drafts on topics not close to their own interests, and let me know when I do not make myself clear. vii 00-BRS69-Prelims-i-xii.indd 7 16/08/2017 09:17 00-BRS69-Prelims-i-xii.indd 8 16/08/2017 09:17 SHORT REFERENCES & ABBREVIATIONS Books listed here should be included in list of sources for Further Reading.

  • Agenda Item 11 Bristol City
    AGENDA ITEM 11 BRISTOL CITY COUNCIL CABINET 4 October 2012 REPORT TITLE: Governance Options Appraisal, Bristol Museums, Galleries & Archives Ward(s) affected by this report: Citywide Strategic Director: Graham Sims, Interim Chief Executive Rick Palmer, Interim Strategic Director Neighbourhoods and City Development Report author: Julie Finch, Head of Museums, Galleries & Archives Contact telephone no. 0117 9224804 & e-mail address: [email protected] Report signed off by Simon Cook executive member: Leader Purpose of the report: This report outlines the governance option proposed for the Bristol Museums, Galleries & Archives Services (BMGA). This report is led by the recommendations of the Select Committee Report that gained all party support in November 2009. The report identifies the most suitable model of governance for BMGA to support an improvement strategy and optimise enterprise activity creating a more sustainable future for the service and meet demand. RECOMMENDATION for Cabinet approval: 1. To agree in principle to the transfer of the BMGA to an independent trust at the existing funding levels of £3.7m subject to an agreed business case. 2. To adopt the governance model that will be a single independent museums trust, closely bound into the BCC family through specified interfaces and trustee compositions. Staff would become employees of the new organisation. The major assets will remain the property of the Council. 3. To agree to the implementation of phased approach to a change in governance 1 whereby Bristol City Council (BCC) delivers BMGA activities through a company limited by guarantee with charitable status. 4. To develop the business plan that will frame the transfer and all associated interfaces, service level agreements and entrustment agreements.

  • Youth Culture and Nightlife in Bristol
    Youth culture and nightlife in Bristol A report by: Meg Aubrey Paul Chatterton Robert Hollands Centre for Urban and Regional Development Studies and Department of Sociology and Social Policy University of Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 7RU, UK In 1982 there were pubs and a smattering of (God help us) cocktail bars. The middle-aged middle classes drank in wine bars. By 1992 there were theme pubs and theme bars, many of them dumping their old traditional names in favour of ‘humorous’ names like The Slug and Lettuce, The Spaceman and Chips or the Pestilence and Sausages (actually we’ve made the last two up). In 2001 we have a fair few pubs left, but the big news is bars, bright, shiny chic places which are designed to appeal to women rather more than blokes with swelling guts. In 1982 they shut in the afternoons and at 11pm weekdays and 10.30pm Sundays. In 2001 most drinking places open all day and many late into the night as well. In 1982 we had Whiteladies Road and in 2001 we have The Strip (Eugene Byrne, Venue Magazine July, 2001 p23). Bristol has suddenly become this cosmopolitan Paris of the South West. That is the aspiration of the council anyhow. For years it was a very boring provincial city to live in and that’s why the music that’s come out of it is so exciting. Cos it’s the product of people doing it for themselves. That’s a real punk-rock ethic. (Ian, music goer, Bristol). Contents Contents 2 List of Tables 5 Introduction 6 Chapter 1.

Introduction Bristol wants to become an age friendly city. Bristol Ageing Better, a partnership of over 100 local organisations, (www.bristolageingbetter.org.uk) and Bristol City Council are signed up to making this happen. The World Health Organisation sets out some steps that a city needs to take, if it is to achieve its age friendly objectives. One of the most important is to do a baseline assessment of the age-friendliness of the city in eight key areas: o outdoor spaces and buildings o transport o housing o social participation o respect and social inclusion o civic participation and employment o communication and information o community support and health services. This report starts that process. It is not intended to be comprehensive but rather to start a conversation. What are Bristol’s strengths and areas for improvement, where are the opportunities and challenges that will help and hinder? What progress have we already made, what learning can be shared and what successes can be built on? Although an ageing population will pose challenges for health and care systems, there will also be opportunities to improve the quality of life for Bristol’s citizens as they age.

Sadly, during August, a large branch fell off in the middle of the night, victim so the experts said to the phenomenon of ’summer drop’. Much to our relief we have been assured that the tree is otherwise in good health, subject to some pruning to balance what remains. So far as I’m aware that is the only negative change in the physical aspect of the College that I need to report. Work has continued on aspects of the fabric to ensure that the original Butterfield buildings are preserved and, where appropriate, enhanced. This has included a further phase of refurbishment of the rooms in Liddon Quad and of some of the floor tiling in the Hall. The main elements of a new lighting scheme in the Chapel have also been completed and, as a result, three valuable outcomes have been achieved: the mosaics are now visible,The Light of the World is lit to much better effect and the choir is able to read the music its members so ably perform.

  • News from the Diocese of Bristol Revd Canon Michael Johnson Appointed Acting Dean at Bristol Cathedral
    News from the Diocese of Bristol Monday 7 October 2019 Revd Canon Michael Johnson appointed Acting Dean at Bristol Cathedral The Bishop of Bristol, Rt Revd Vivienne Faull, is delighted to announce the appointment of Revd Canon Michael Johnson as the Acting Dean of Bristol Cathedral. It follows the appointment of Very Revd David Hoyle to the Deanery of Westminster. He will conclude his time as Dean on 31 October. Michael, who was formerly Acting Archdeacon of Bristol, will be licensed in his new role by Bishop Viv at Evensong on 1 November. The process for nominating the next Dean of Bristol has begun. The Archbishop of Canterbury has appointed Richard Bacon Chair of the Selection Panel. He will be supported by the Crown and Archbishops’ appointment secretaries. The Selection Panel includes the Bishop of Bristol and a representative of the College of Canons and of the Bishop’s Council. Very Revd Jane Hedges, Dean of Norwich, has been nominated by the Archbishop of Canterbury to be the Cathedrals’ Representative on the panel. The post will be advertised and it is anticipated that the appointment, which is subject to the approval of the Prime Minister and the Queen, will be announced later in 2020. Bishop Viv said: “I am delighted that Michael has been appointed as the Acting Dean. He displayed considerable knowledge, experience and wisdom in his role as Acting Archdeacon and I am confident he will bring the necessary leadership and support to the Chapter and Cathedral team during this time of transition. “I am particularly pleased at the appointment of Richard as Chair of the Selection Committee.
