Northamptonshire Past & Present: Volume 5, No 1, 1974 NORTHAMPTONSHIRE PAST & PRESENT Journal of THE NORTHAMPTONSHIRE RECORD SOCIETY DELAPRE ABBEY, NORTHAMPTON, ENGLAND VoL. V 1974 No. 2 ~n~irnt and MOD ER large or small. Fine building is synonymous with Robert Marriott Ltd., a member of the Robert Marriott Group, famous for quality building since 1890.1n the past 80 years Marriotts have established a reputation for meticulous craftsmanship on the largest and small­ est scales. Whether it is a £7,000,000 housing contract near Bletchley, a new head­ quarters for Buckinghamshire County Council at Aylesbury (right) or restor­ ation and alterations to Easton Maudit Church (left) Marriotts have the experi­ ence, the expertise and the men to carry out work of the most exacting standards and to a strict schedule. In the last century Marriotts made a name for itself by the ski 11 of its crafts­ men employed on restoring buildings of great historical importance. A re­ markable tribute to the firm's founder, the late Mr. Robert Marriott was paid in 1948 by Sir Albert Richardson, later President of the Royal Academy, when he said: "He was a master builder of the calibre of the Grimbolds and other famous country men. He spared no pains and placed ultimate good before financial gain. No mean craftsman him­ self, he demanded similar excellence from his helpers." Three-quarters of a century later Marriotts' highly specialised Special Projects Division displays the same inherent skills in the same delicate work on buildings throughout the Midlands. To date Hatfield House, Long Melford Hall in Suffolk, the Branch Library at Earls Barton, the restoration of Castle Cottage at Higham Ferrers, Fisons Ltd., Cambridge, Greens Norton School, Woburn Abbey restorations and the Falcon Inn, Castle Ashby, al l bear witness to the craftsmanship of Marriotts. While building for the future, Marriotts are maintaining the glories of the past. ~ J-- ROBERT MARRIOTI LTD. ~ r~ RUSHDEN, NORTHAMPTONSHIRE 11 A member of the J. l.

  • 'All Wemen in Thar Degree Shuld to Thar Men Subiectit Be': the Controversial Court Career of Elisabeth Parr, Marchioness Of
    ‘All wemen in thar degree shuld to thar men subiectit be’: The controversial court career of Elisabeth Parr, marchioness of Northampton, c. 1547-1565 Helen Joanne Graham-Matheson, BA, MA. Thesis submitted to UCL for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 1 Declaration I, Helen Joanne Graham-Matheson confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract This thesis reconstructs and analyses the life and agency of Elisabeth Parr, marchioness of Northampton (1526-1565), with the aim of increasing understanding of women’s networks of influence and political engagement at the mid-Tudor courts, c. 1547- 1565. Analysis of Elisabeth’s life highlights that in the absence of a Queen consort the noblewomen of the Edwardian court maintained and utilized access to those in power and those with political significance and authority. During the reign of Mary Tudor, Elisabeth worked with her natal family to undermine Mary’s Queenship and support Elizabeth Tudor, particularly by providing her with foreign intelligence. At the Elizabethan court Elisabeth regained her title (lost under Mary I) and occupied a position as one of the Queen’s most trusted confidantes and influential associates. Her agency merited attention from ambassadors and noblemen as well as from the Emperor Maximilian and King Erik of Sweden, due to the significant role she played in several major contemporary events, such as Elizabeth’s early marriage negotiations. This research is interdisciplinary, incorporating early modern social, political and cultural historiographies, gender studies, social anthropology, sociology and the study of early modern literature.

  • River Soar © Jiri Rezac 2015
    WaterLIFE DEMONSTRATION CATCHMENT FACTSHEET RIVER SOAR © JIRI REZAC 2015 The River Soar is the principle river in Leicestershire, covering a catchment area of approximately 1,380km2 and flowing through Leicester and Loughborough before confluencing with the River Trent. The catchment has a mix of urban and rural land uses, and is home to a wide range of species including the endangered white-clawed crayfish. The Soar Catchment Partnership was established in 2013 by Trent Rivers Trust and has grown considerably in size and strength under WaterLIFE. ISSUES IN THE SOAR Indicative of the industrial heritage of the area, many of the Soar’s watercourses have been modified, with the Grand Union Canal a predominant feature of the catchment. With increasing urbanisation, and due to the modified watercourses being over-wide, over-deep and separated from their flood plain, the Soar is prone to flooding. Soil erosion is also diminishing water quality and exacerbating flooding by blocking pipes and culverts. The sediment also carries particle pollutants such as phosphorus that trigger eutrophication and a further worsening of water quality. Currently, 87% of water bodies in the Soar catchment are failing to meet good ecological status. © JIRI REZAC 2015 RIVER SOAR CATCHMENT AREA © JIRI REZAC 2015 WHAT DID WATERLIFE DO? WHAT DID WATERLIFE ACHIEVE? WaterLIFE has supported Trent Rivers Trust to invest • Secured over £2 million in additional funding time, energy and resources to grow the Soar Catchment from a diverse range of sources.
