The world waits to hear what the next step will mean not only for the peoples of that very troubled part of the world but also for everyone else. Many ask “what can we do”. Part of the Christian response is to pray and that we do in church and in our own pri- vate prayer times. I believe that prayer as someone once said is the most powerful force in the world. What do we pray for though I was asked in the High Street in Malpas. My reply was twofold. Firstly, that a peaceful and right solution can be found not only to the particular situa- tions in Egypt and Syria but also in the other troubled parts of the world and that the hearts of the people of violence can be turned to the creation of a new world order where no one nation preys on another and secondly that that world is a place in which all people have a part to play. We should also pray for those who have much power through out the world and those who, as a result of the position that they hold can influence the course of events in the world. Prayer need not be complicated but should come from the heart. The call is for much prayer to be of- fered as humanity stands at yet another crossroads. The other part of the Christian response (and part of all peoples response of all beliefs and non) is to be peaceable people ourselves and to always look to the good in everyone. We should seek the highest good and work actively as people of peace to do our own bit in our own way to make the society we live in a happy place where everyone feels wanted and valued. Everyone has the right to be happy . I often use these words and perhaps you can make them your own too “ Lord we pray for a peace that is not just the absence of war but the creation of a world in which all have a part to play.” Your friend and Rector, Ian.

  • Crime, Gender and Social Order in Early Modern England
    This page intentionally left blank Crime, Gender and Social Order in Early Modern England This is the first extended study of gender and crime in early modern England. It considers the ways in which criminal behaviour and perceptions of criminality were informed by ideas about gender and order, and explores their practical consequences for the men and women who were brought before the criminal courts. Dr Walker’s innovative approach demonstrates that, contrary to received opinion, the law was often structured so as to make the treatment of women and men before the courts incommensurable. For the first time, early modern criminality is explored in terms of masculinity as well as femininity. The household is shown to have a direct relation to the nature and reception of all sorts of criminal behaviour for men and for women. Illuminating the interactions between gender and other categories such as class and civil war have implications not merely for the historiography of crime but for the social history of early modern England as a whole. This study therefore goes beyond conventional studies of crime, and challenges hitherto accepted views of social interaction in the period. garthine walker is Lecturer in History, School of History and Archaeology, Cardiff University.

  • Northwood Farm Moat
    Audlem and District History Society History Shorts 55 by Elizabeth Huntbach The medieval moated site at Northwoods farm Discovering one day an italic sign saying Moat on an old OS map, I realized that this sign was depicting a place of interest at Northwoods farm in the parish of Dodcott-cum-Wilkesley. This was to be my husband David’s and my home for the next 47 years and I wanted to know more about its history. OS 1” map. Sheet 110 - Stoke on Trent. Published: ca. 1968. Reproduced with the permission of the National Library of Scotland. The site of the moat was a mess with shoulder-high undergrowth, swamp and barbed wire. David wanted to make the area safe and he needed to clear out the moat to its original depth. From studying old maps and speaking to other farmers I was able to trace a cobbled road through to Calverhall with a stop-off inn dated 1666 on the stone door lintel of a farmhouse. I found the track by following the plough turning over the soil. Manchester University Archaeology Department staff had visited to survey the site every four years and informed me that they were interested in doing an excavation. After this I started to investigate the history of the site, making countless visits to Cheshire Records Office and Chester Records Office. I even had to use an ultra- violet light to read the faded latin documents. The first mention of Northwoods was in Chester Court Assizes Papers of 1354 when a murder was committed in a field! At Nantwich Library, I studied James Hall’s History of Nantwich: the margin scribbles to the original notes were a great help.

    Booklet. Cheshire Civil War Centre, Nantwich. 60 pages. 2016. An extract from Hall’s History of the Town and Parish of Nantwich covering the Civil War period from 1642 to 1646. The extract is made up primarily of the text from the diary of Thomas Malbon who lived in Nantwich throughout the war. He covered national events but his main focus was Cheshire and especially Nantwich. These diary entries provide a much greater insight into life in a garrison town than you will get from the usual narrative. Booklet. Cheshire Civil War Centre, Nantwich. 11 pages. 2016. A detailed timeline of all the troop movements into and from the garrison town of Nantwich. Between August 1642 and March1646 thousands of troops moved through the town along with well over 1000 prisoners. The troop movements reflect the military activity in both the local region and wider afield such as the Cheshire troops involvement at the Battle of Montgomery. Booklet. Cheshire Civil War Centre Nantwich. 28 pages. 2016. The Reverend Joseph Partridge was born in what is now the Wilbraham Arms, Welsh Row in 1724. He was ordained in the late 1760s and became a curate at St Michael’s Church, Baddiley and then chaplain of the Woodhey Chapel, Woodhey Hall, Faddiley. He wrote the first history of Nantwich and this booklet is an extract covering the Civil War period. His book was subsequently used as a starting point for two further histories of Nantwich by John Weld Platt and James Hall. Booklet. Cheshire Civil War Centre, Nantwich. 36 pages. 2016. This is one of the earliest attempts to describe the history of the English Civil War and its affects on Nantwich.
