Birmingham Botany Collections the Herbarium of James Eustace Bagnall Birmingham Museums Birmingham Botany Collections The Herbarium of James Eustace Bagnall Edited by Phil Watson and Emily Gough © Birmingham Museums Version 1.0 October 2014 Birmingham Botany Collections – Herbarium of J E Bagnall 1 Birmingham Botany Collections – Herbarium of J E Bagnall Introduction A brief biography of Bagnall (1830-1918) was given in Birmingham Botany Collections – Mosses (http://www.bmag.org.uk/uploads/fck/file/BBC%20Mosses.pdf ) and there is no need to repeat this here except to reiterate that he was Birmingham’s greatest botanist whose passion was driven by the compilation of his The Flora of Warwickshire (Gurney & Jackson, London and Cornish Brothers, Birmingham, 1891) and, subsequently, The Flora of Staffordshire which was published as a supplement to the Journal of Botany 39 (West, Newman & Co, London 1901). He presented his herbarium in its entirety to Birmingham Museum in 1913. This included 4570 specimens of mosses, 700 liverworts and 180 lichens all of which have already been published in the respective fascicles of Birmingham Botany Collections . The present fascicle covers his collection of vascular plants and contains a little over 6400 specimens. Of these he collected almost 3700 (57%) himself. The remaining 43% (just over 2750 specimens) were collected and passed on to Bagnall by a whole range of different people from across the country. Of these the most prolific was A. Ley who supplied almost 200 items. Only 135 specimens (a mere 2%) have no collector recorded for them and 72 of these are from Warwickshire, Staffordshire or Worcestershire so could well have been collected by Bagnall himself. Geographically the collection as a whole is dominated by England (almost 5600 specimens, 87%). Scotland accounts for 374 specimens (6%), Wales for 242 (4%), Ireland and the Channel Isles less than a hundred each and the 16 foreign specimens are of little importance. Only 59 specimens (a meagre 1%) have no recorded provenance. There is an uneven distribution however, as one might perhaps expect, between the specimens supplied by others and those collected by Bagnall himself. The former group has 73% of specimens from England from 57 vice counties. Few of these are represented in any sizable quantity however. Warwickshire is best represented with 253 specimens (125 of these collected by H Bromwich) followed by Surrey (175 specimens), Hereford (11, many from A Ley), Hampshire (109), Cornwall (106), Norfolk (96) and Derbyshire (95). Scotland accounts for 349 (13% of which a third are from Perthshire) and Wales for 198 (7%, of which over half are from either Carnarvon or Glamorgan). Bagnall’s own collecting breaks down into over 3580 specimens from England (97%) with only 79 specimens from the rest of Britain and Ireland, 2 foreign ones and 10 without provenance. Even more than with his moss collection a local bias towards Warwickshire is evident with nearly 3000 specimens (80%) from his home county. There are 259 specimens from Staffordshire (7%), 103 from Worcestershire (3%) and only 270 (7%) from other English counties; the latter includes 95 specimens from Cornwall. His collecting activities began in the mid 1850s and his last dated specimen is from 1918. The Checklist The collections of vascular plants in Birmingham were re-assessed, and in some cases re-boxed, in the 1980s under the supervision of the then Keeper, Dr Brian Abell Seddon and a team of volunteers. As part of this, specimens were catalogued and arranged according to the taxonomy given in J.E. Dandy List of British Vascular Plants (British Museum, London 1958). Although it is accepted that taxonomy has advanced in the intervening period this arrangement has been retained here as it clearly reflects the storage and labelling of the specimens in the collection. The checklist is arranged in the following columns: 1 The Dandy number consisting of his genus number followed after a decimal point by his species number within each genus. 2 The name 3 The date of collection 4 The Vice-County number 5 More detailed provenance 6 The collector 2 Birmingham Botany Collections – Herbarium of J E Bagnall 1.1 Lycopodium selago 00.08.1846 70 Helvellyn Dr Young 1.1

  • East Molesey Cricket Club
    East Molesey Cricket Club Formal application/proposal to develop a Second Pitch for the EMCC on Hurst Meadow Introduction This document has been produced by East Molesey Cricket Club (EMCC) for presentation to Elmbridge Borough Council. It sets out the Club’s wish to develop a second pitch on Hurst Meadow in order to relieve the pressure on the current pitch and accommodate the future expansion of the Club. The current pitch hosts 1st and 2nd XI matches on Saturdays, Conference matches on Sundays and Colts matches for three age groups (Under 13’s, Under 15’s and Under 17’s) throughout the week. It also has to accommodate mid-week and weekend training sessions for all members – from Under 7’s up to the 1st XI squad. At the moment, the 3rd and 4th XI play their home matches on other local pitches due to lack of capacity. The new pitch is part of a five-year strategy to expand the facilities at the Club in order to support the growing Colts membership, the formation of girls’ and ladies’ teams, as well as accommodate disabled players. The Club will shortly be submitting a Planning Application for a new enlarged pavilion that will not only cater for the increasing number of teams and members within EMCC but also enable a local winter sports club (or clubs) to share the facilities. More details and design concepts for the new pavilion are contained at the rear of this proposal. The Club is seeking permission to develop the pitch on Hurst Meadow and, in order to obtain the considerable funds required for the planned development, secure a minimum lease period of 30 years.

  • The Hand-Book to Boxing;
    FACSIMILE REPRODUCTION NOTES: This document is an attempt at a faithful transcription of the original document. Special effort has been made to ensure that original spelling (this includes what may be typographical errors such as the 1776 reference on pp29 which should, apparently, be 1766 or pp39 where June 10 appears twice and should, at a guess, be July 10 in the second appearance, and, my favorite, July 40, on pp46), line-breaks, and vocabulary are left intact, and when possible, similar fonts have been used. However, it contains original formatting and image scans. All rights are reserved except those specifically granted herein. Of particular note in this reproduction is the unusual (by today’s standards) selection of page and font size. The page size is, in the original 6” x 10” with a font approximately 9 point for large portions of the book. Reproducing it in 6x9 with smaller top and bottom margins with hand tweaked font, paragraph, and line spacings, I have tried to recaptured the original personality of the book. However, this can make it difficult to read. Be assured that this was maintained in order to keep the “flavor” of the original text but it can be taxing on the eyes.

I have moved it here. THE THAMES ABOVE OXFORD. BY THE EDITOR. OXFORD TO CRICKLADE NB: going upstream Oxford LEAVING Folly Bridge, winding along the river past the Oxford Gas-works, and passing under the line of the G.W.R., we soon come to Osney Lock (falls ft. 6 in.), close by which was the once-famous Abbey. There is nothing left to attest its former magnificence and arrest our progress, so we soon come to Botley Bridge, over which passes the western road fro Oxford to Cheltenham , Bath , &c.; and a little higher are four streams, the bathing-place of "Tumbling bay" being on the westward one. Keeping straight on, Medley Weir is reached (falls 2 ft.), and then a long stretch of shallow water succeeds, Godstow Lock until we reach Godstow Lock. Godstow Lock (falls 3 ft. 6 in., pay at Medley Weir) has been rebuilt, and the cut above deepened, the weeds and mud banks cleared out, so as to leave th river good and navigable up to King's Weir.

Its incorporation by statute makes the ferry one of the 10 oldest established companies in the United Kingdom. Our postcard this week is c1950’s (I think). The ferry links Hampton, on the north bank and in the London Borough of Richmond, with Hurst Park, Molesey on the south bank and in the county of Surrey. It is in the reach of the river between Molesey Lock and Sunbury Lock. It is the only Thames crossing on this reach, and the only crossing between Hampton Court Bridge and Walton Bridge. The first crossings were made from Hampton in order for fishermen to be able to catch fish in the then seasonally marshy and reed-laden Moulsey Hurst. Peak ferry usage was as a result of passenger traffic to Hurst Park Racecourse which was first laid out in 1890 .

Most of the world’s biggest cities are located by large rivers. These waterways are so important that they are respected, venerated, even worshipped. While the River Ganges in India is deified as Mother Ganges, a life- giving nurturing goddess, in London the river is personified as Old Father Thames. This walk between Molesey and Kingston explores a short section of the non-tidal river to find out about its physical characteristics – its flow and floods, its islands and meanders. The walk also tells the story of the river’s many roles - as a place to live, a place to work and a place to play.

  • Birmingham Botany Collections the Herbarium of James Eustace Bagnall
    Birmingham Museums Birmingham Botany Collections The Herbarium of James Eustace Bagnall Edited by Phil Watson and Emily Gough © Birmingham Museums Version 1.0 October 2014 Birmingham Botany Collections – Herbarium of J E Bagnall 1 Birmingham Botany Collections – Herbarium of J E Bagnall Introduction A brief biography of Bagnall (1830-1918) was given in Birmingham Botany Collections – Mosses (http://www.bmag.org.uk/uploads/fck/file/BBC%20Mosses.pdf ) and there is no need to repeat this here except to reiterate that he was Birmingham’s greatest botanist whose passion was driven by the compilation of his The Flora of Warwickshire (Gurney & Jackson, London and Cornish Brothers, Birmingham, 1891) and, subsequently, The Flora of Staffordshire which was published as a supplement to the Journal of Botany 39 (West, Newman & Co, London 1901). He presented his herbarium in its entirety to Birmingham Museum in 1913. This included 4570 specimens of mosses, 700 liverworts and 180 lichens all of which have already been published in the respective fascicles of Birmingham Botany Collections . The present fascicle covers his collection of vascular plants and contains a little over 6400 specimens. Of these he collected almost 3700 (57%) himself. The remaining 43% (just over 2750 specimens) were collected and passed on to Bagnall by a whole range of different people from across the country. Of these the most prolific was A. Ley who supplied almost 200 items. Only 135 specimens (a mere 2%) have no collector recorded for them and 72 of these are from Warwickshire, Staffordshire or Worcestershire so could well have been collected by Bagnall himself.

  • Henry Attfield, 18Th Century Cricketer Revised in December 2008 1 by John Attfield
    Henry Attfield, 18th century Cricketer Revised in December 2008 1 by John Attfield Very few Attfields have achieved the distinction of an entry in the online encyclopaedia Wikipedia. Indeed the only historical Attfield entry to be found there refers to an 18th cen- tury English cricketer and reads as follows: Henry Attfield (1756 – c.1829) was an English cricketer who made his first known appearance in the 1773 season. Aged 17 at the time, he must have been a genuine 1773 debutant. He was a native of Bagshot in Surrey. He played frequently for Surrey but was still only 26 when his career ended in 1782 (sic). He seems to have been known as “Field” and this often appeared on old scorecards. 2 A further summary of the published information about Henry Attfield has been kindly provided by cricket’s “Bearded Wonder” Bill Frindall: Henry Attfield was born at Bagshot in 1756 and was only 17 when he first ap- peared for Surrey against Hambledon. He lived most of his life in Chertsey, dying there c1829 when 73. No tombstone was erected to his memory. A sawyer by trade, his name was usually abbreviated to ‘Field’. He was in the Surrey XI (along with ‘Lumpy’ Stevens) that was invited to Paris by the English ambassador, the third Duke of Dorset, a mission aborted by the onset of the French Revolution, luckily before the team sailed from Dover. 3 So this Henry Attfield was apparently a not insignificant figure in the early history of Eng- lish cricket. But which Henry Attfield was he? This article examines the evidence.
