I agree with him Thursday 28 February 2019 that it is right that we do not go into the details of those discussions on the Floor of the House, but there have The House met at half-past Nine o’clock been discussions and I think that that is welcome. Both the Chair of the Select Committee, the right hon. Member for Leeds Central (Hilary Benn) and other distinguished PRAYERS Members, such as the right hon. Member for Birkenhead (Frank Field), noted in the debate yesterday that there had been progress. It is important that we continue to [MR SPEAKER in the Chair] have those discussions, but that those of us on the Government Benches stand by our manifesto commitments in respect of not being part of a EU customs union.

  • Newsletter No. 74 Autumn 2008 Editorial
    NEWSLETTER NO. 74 AUTUMN 2008 EDITORIAL Welcome to the latest Newsletter; I hope you have had an enjoyable summer in spite of the dreadful weather, Due to a clash of dates I was unable to attend this year’s AIA Conference which was held in Wiltshire and I look forward to reading the report which will appear in Industrial Archaeology News. I am also looking forward to the forthcoming 2008-2009 Lecture Programme; full details are given on the separate sheet, meeting as usual on Saturday mornings at Claremont. In the past the Section has considered whether midweek evening meetings or Saturday afternoons would attract more members to join and attend but the general view from those who have expressed it, is that Saturday mornings are preferred. However please note that the 2009 AGM will be starting earlier at 10.30am. This is because we will have another local walk in the afternoon starting at 2pm and starting the AGM half an hour earlier gives a little more time for members’ contributions and lunch. I am sure that you will agree with me that our Lecture Secretary, Jane Ellis, has yet again organised an interesting and varied programme and I hope many of you will be able to attend at least a few lectures during the season. Robert Vickers will also lead a walk around Huddersfield on Sunday 10 May 2009, meeting at the Railway Station at 11am with a pub lunch. Let’s hope there is better weather for this than his walk around Bradford, which is reported on later in the Newsletter.

  • Social History
    © University of London – Text by Dr Rosalind Johnson (edited by Mary Siraut) 1 SOCIAL HISTORY SOCIAL CHARACTER Although the medieval parish was dominated by the manor and the lord of the manor retained the advowson until the late 17th century, there is no evidence for a resident lord of the manor until the 1840s when Charles Noel Welman built Norton Manor.1 In 1700 the tenant at Knowle Hill had been able to fell a considerable amount of timber and establish a stone quarry before the lord was able to take any action.2 In 1327 Richard Stapeldon, lord of the manor, was assessed at 10s., substantially the largest assessment in the parish and only eight other taxpayers were assessed at 1s. or more, half of them in Langford.3 Fifteen persons with land or goods in Norton were assessed for the 1581 subsidy, though not all may have been resident. 4 In 1742 the parish was as assessed at 3s. 8d. as its proportion towards the county rate, an average figure for the parishes in the hundred of Taunton and Taunton Deane.5 By 1782 William Hawker, lord of the manor, was the chief landowner in the village, but there were several smaller estates and a number of small freeholders with a single dwelling or plot of land.6 Not until c.1842, There may have been tensions in the parish between more prosperous householders and the labouring classes. In 1849 concerns were expressed about the ‘excess and immorality’ in the village occasioned by labourers frequenting beer houses.7 In 1855 the vestry meeting agreed to offer a reward for information leading to a conviction after a spate of burglaries in the parish.8 1 See landownership.

  • The Economic Development of Sheffield and the Growth of the Town Cl740-Cl820
    The Economic Development of Sheffield and the Growth of the Town cl740-cl820 Neville Flavell PhD The Division of Adult Continuing Education University of Sheffield February 1996 Volume One THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF SHEFFIELD AND THE GROWTH OF THE TOWN cl740-c 1820 Neville Flavell February 1996 SUMMARY In the early eighteenth century Sheffield was a modest industrial town with an established reputation for cutlery and hardware. It was, however, far inland, off the main highway network and twenty miles from the nearest navigation. One might say that with those disadvantages its future looked distinctly unpromising. A century later, Sheffield was a maker of plated goods and silverware of international repute, was en route to world supremacy in steel, and had already become the world's greatest producer of cutlery and edge tools. How did it happen? Internal economies of scale vastly outweighed deficiencies. Skills, innovations and discoveries, entrepreneurs, investment, key local resources (water power, coal, wood and iron), and a rapidly growing labour force swelled largely by immigrants from the region were paramount. Each of these, together with external credit, improved transport and ever-widening markets, played a significant part in the town's metamorphosis. Economic and population growth were accompanied by a series of urban developments which first pushed outward the existing boundaries. Considerable infill of gardens and orchards followed, with further peripheral expansion overspilling into adjacent townships. New industrial, commercial and civic building, most of it within the central area, reinforced this second phase. A period of retrenchment coincided with the French and Napoleonic wars, before a renewed surge of construction restored the impetus.

  • DIO Delivers Critical Rehabilitation Facilities to the Royal Marines
    DIO Delivers Critical Rehabilitation Facilities to the Royal Marines The Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) recently completed a new Physical and Remedial Training Centre for 40 Commando Royal Marines (40 Cdo RM ) at Norton Manor Camp in Somerset. Sarawak Gym, named in recognition of 40 Commando’s involvement in the Indonesia-Malaysia Confrontation from 1962 to 1966, was opened at an official ceremony by Lieutenant Colonel Matt Jackson Royal Marines, Commanding Officer 40 Commando Royal Marines. The new building delivered by DIO, working with regional industry partner Debut Services (South West) Limited, will provide essential modern sports facilities to support the physical well being of unit personnel. Also housed within the new building is a dedicated remedial suite to support the rehabilitation of injured Marines returning from overseas operations as well as those injured through the day to day rigours of training in the UK. These amenities replace the old facilities housed in a drill shed dating from the 1940s, built during the Second Word War. Positioned adjacent to the Medical and Dental Centre, also previously delivered by DIO and Debut in 2009, the new facilities will greatly improve efficiency and support provided to service personnel, allowing a speedy recovery back to operational fitness. This will in turn help improve the operational capability of 40 Cdo RM. Lieutenant Colonel Jackson, Commanding Officer 40 Cdo RM said: “This is a superb facility. 40 Commando, DIO and Debut have worked as a dedicated team to design and deliver a gymnasium from which all personnel serving at the Unit will benefit for many years to come.

  • Economic History
    © University of London – Text by Dr Rosalind Johnson (edited by Mary Siraut) 1 ECONOMIC HISTORY Norton Fitzwarren was primarily an agricultural parish until the early 20th century, although in the 19th century increasing numbers of villagers were employed in other industries, particularly Norton Brewery and the bakery at Norton Mills. Taunton Cider was a major employer for much of the 20th century. AGRICULTURE Medieval Norton Fitzwarren was assessed at 5 hides in 1066 when it was worth £8. By 1086 it was worth £15. It had land for 10 ploughs, and in demesne had 3 ploughs and 6 slaves; and 13 villeins and 8 bordars with 8 ploughs. There were 25 a. of meadow and 40 a. of woodland, with 2 mills rendering 11s. 3d. The hamlet of Ford paid geld for half a hide in 1066 when it was worth 20s.
