This little onomasticon embodies, I believe, the first at- tempt to treat the etymology of the place-names of the Liverpool district upon a systematic basis. In various local and county histories endeavours have here and there been made to account for the origin of certain place-names, but such endeavours have unfortunately only too frequently been remarkable for anything but philological, and even topographical, accuracy.

Rainford Conservation Area Appraisal.Pdf
Rainford I & II Conservation Area Appraisal July 2008 Rainford I & II Conservation Area Appraisal— Rainford I & II Conservation Area Appraisal Located immediately north of St Helens town, Rainford is well known for its indus- trial past. It was the location of sand mining for the glass factories of St Helens and was a major manufacturer of clay smoking pipes, firebricks and earthenware cruci- bles. Natural resources brought fame and prosperity to the village during the late eight- eenth and early nineteenth centuries. The resulting shops, light industries and sub- sequent dwelling houses contribute to Rainford’s distinct character. In recognition of its historical significance and architectural character, a section of Rainford was originally designated as a conservation area in 1976. Rainford re- mains a ‘typical’ English country village and this review is intended to help preserve and enhance it.

West Derby Hundred Sessions Magistrates Attendance Book, 1902-1935 Covering dates 1885-1962 Administrative history Courts of Petty Sessions evolved from the exercise of summary jurisdiction by justices outside Quarter Sessions. Regular divisional meetings of two or more justices appeared gradually in the eighteenth century. By the end of that century, such meetings were instituted at stated times and places and an act of 1828 required the Quarter Sessions to define Petty Session Districts. The business of the court of petty sessions was both judicial and administrative and the modern magistrates court has inherited these functions. The judicial side deals with minor offences - both adult and juvenile. Magistrates also preside over the Youth Courts which are especially constituted with jurisdiction limited to proceedings for custody, maintenance, adoption, guardianship and family protection orders. Administrative duties of magistrates include the licensing of public houses, licensed victuallers, clubs, restaurants, cinemas, lodging houses, premises licensed for liquor, music, dancing etc. and registered premises (explosives). Before 1974, petty sessions courts (also known as magistrates courts) were of two types: 1.

The Domesday Survey of South Lancashire
THE DOMESDAY SURVEY OF SOUTH LANCASHIRE. By J. H. Lnmby, B.A., Charles IJeard Historical Research Exhibitioner, University College, Liverpool. Read i8ih January, 1900. HE Domesday Survey of South Lancashire is T included in that of Cheshire, under the sub- title Inter Ripam et Mersham. It consists merely of three columns and nine lines of a fourth. Com pared with the treatment afforded to Cheshire this seems scant courtesy, but we may find that the task of the Commissioners and of the scribe who made the final abstract of the original returns, was simplified considerably by the broad lines of the history of the district during the 20 years preceding the accepted date of the Inquest. The first column is wholly concerned with the hundred of " Derbei," of which some 40 vills are enumerated. The second column proceeds with an account of the customs of the same hundred, customs that, in whole or in part, related also to the other hundreds, unless we except " Walintune," which would be rash. Derby Hundred T. R. W., and Newton and Warrington Hundreds T. R. E. and T. R. W., are treated in the PLATE XIII. H. S. OF L& C. NTER RIPAM ET MERSHAM The Idenhficahons of Ohegnmele.

The Sefton Coast Woodlands
The Sefton Coast Woodlands: The history and archaeology Nick Roche, June 2012 Supported by Heritage Lottery Fund IInnttrroodduuccttiiioonn This paper is written as a contribution to the ten year Sefton Coast Woodlands Forest Plan review being carried out in 2012. It is aimed at both the management planners and the interested public, providing a more detailed background than was available in 2002 when the first phase of the Plan was written. It draws on excellent archaeological and historical work, both older and more recent, undertaken on the Sefton Coast by a range of experts and enthusiasts, it extracts from their published material, specifically the information on tree cover on the Coast. The scope of the paper extends only to the area of blown sand―roughly speaking, west of the Liverpool to Southport railway line between Hightown in the south and Ainsdale in the north. The information is presented as an overview from the perspective of an observer in 2012 who is only interested in changes in the one aspect of the coastal vegetation. If the reader has a wider interest than this, then there is extensive material to draw on detailing much more than just the tree cover and which also gives a fuller picture of the history and archaeology of human habitation on the Sefton Coast. Reference should be made to these sources and apart from the references, a limited bibliography is provided at the back. To try to help in the understanding of changes in tree cover, the approach has been to look at how it has altered over time from the end of the last UK ice age (about 10,000 years ago), but only in the context of human habitation of the coastal belt.

THE CHURCH BELLS OF LANCASHIRE. BY F. H . CHEETHAM. FOREWORD. N addressing the members of the Antiquarian Society I on March.r jth, 1914, on the Church Bells of Lanca shire, I mad e no attempt to deal with the subject in detail, but was content, in a general way, to indicate its wide interest by using, perhaps rather casually, a large mass of notes that I had collected from time to time. In putting these notes into shape I found that th ey lacked much in completeness and were not made on a uniform system, consequently it has since been my endeavour to go over nearly all the ground afresh in order to bring something like order and uniformity to the material under my hand and to add to it when necessary. Originally it was my intention to deal only with the bells of the ancient parish churches and chapels of pre Reformation date, but it soon became abundantly clear that to follow this course would rule out a large number of eighteenth century bells and some of earlier date. The system, therefore, that I have gone upon is to include the bells of all churches founded before the year 1800, as well as the bells of this period which have found their way' into modern churches.

Liverpool Under Parliament: the Anatomy of a Civil War Garrison, May 1643 to June 1644
Liverpool under parliament: the anatomy of a civil war garrison, May 1643 to June 1644 Malcolm Gratton Studies of civil war garrisons are few and far between. Coverage is generally restricted to sub-sections of larger works, the prime concern of which is to examine the experience of a town or explore a particular theme, such as military finance.1 The paucity of garrison investigations reflects the scarcity of appropriate source material. Churchwardens’ and constables’ accounts can be helpful but their survival is uneven. Material specific to an individual community such as an assembly book or borough records can be helpful, but these are not plentiful.2 In the case of Liverpool, however, a fortuitous conjunction of sources has made possible a more detailed examination of the workings of the town’s garrison. The period under review runs from May 1643, the time parliament took control of Liverpool, to June 1644, when the town fell to Prince Rupert. The lynch pin of this study is the West Derby hundred sequestration papers, which cover the period July 1643 to May 1644.3 In addition, the deeds and papers relating to the influential 1 M.
