Designed by Exposed Design Consultants The Companion • The magazine for the College of St George 1 FEATURE Bringing the past alive From crocodiles of uniform-clad children visiting Windsor Castle and St George’s Chapel with their schools to individual children coming with parents at weekends and school holidays, how do you ensure their visit is both a memorable learning experience and an enjoyable day out? That’s the role of the Royal Collection Education team at Windsor who, along with colleagues at Buckingham Palace and the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh, deliver engaging learning programmes for schools and families at the occupied royal residences. The education service at Windsor began in early 1996 with the opening of the Education Centre just outside the Castle walls, where we could meet and greet school groups, give information about the history of the Castle and the Chapel in the form of a teachers’ pack, and offer a warm, dry space to eat picnic lunches. Take up was brisk and the development of teaching sessions linked to school studies and of activity sheets and trails to support the children’s learning soon followed, largely at the request of teachers themselves. With nearly a thousand years of history, the Castle relates to every historical period from the Norman Conquest onwards. The topic of Knights and Castles is a popular theme for primary age children and the association between Windsor and the Order of the Garter is a firm attraction for school groups. The Castle is also an ideal environment for linking a visit to Geography (why is the Castle sited here?), to Religious Education (the role of St George’s Chapel as a Christian place of worship), to Science (the study of materials) and to Art and Design (the paintings and works of art on display in the State Apartments). With nearly a thousand years In response to this we now deliver of history, the Castle relates to a wide variety of learning sessions for primary and secondary schools every historical period from the linked to the National Curriculum Norman Conquest onwards. and other studies. These include costume and armour handling sessions, roleplay activities, 2 Bringing the past alive All photographs: The Royal Collection © Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II All photographs: The guided walks of the Castle Precincts, storytelling sessions, this year will include exploring the Castle’s formidable art workshops, guided tours of the State Apartments and defences and investigating royal portraiture. seminars about visitor management for travel and tourism Both school and family groups use a range of activity trails on students.

  • 1 a Summary of Recommendations
    A SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS (Figures in parenthesis refer to paragraphs of the Report dealing with these issues). General Synod 1. The overall size of the General Synod should be in the region of 470 to 480. (14-21) 2. The current formula for calculating the number of elected proctors and lay members should remain. (20) 3. The balance of elected proctors and lay members between the two provinces should be moved from 68/32 to 70/30. (21) 4. The representation of suffragan bishops should be seven (four from Canterbury and three from York). (22-23) 5. When a See is vacant, and provided that a suffragan bishop from that diocese is not already an elected member of the Synod, the bishop charged with responsibility for the diocese during the vacancy should be entitled to attend and speak, but not vote. (24-26) 6. Majority: There should be new special constituencies for archdeacons of eight from Canterbury and four from York, to be elected from all archdeacons in the respective provinces. (32-40) 7. There should be a national constituency for cathedral deans of five. (41-42) 8. Majority : The electorate for proctorial elections to the General Synod should be expanded to include clergy with permission to officiate (who would substantially comprise retired clergy) elected to a diocesan synod, who should also be eligible to stand for election to the General Synod. (43-49) 9. The seat on the Synod for the Chaplain General of Prisons should be retained. (50-51) 10. There should be a constituency of seven for the armed forces: at least three to be clergy and at least three to be lay.

    “Powerful Arms and Fertile Soil” English Identity and the Law of Arms in Early Modern England Claire Renée Kennedy A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History and Philosophy of Science University of Sydney 2017 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My greatest thanks and appreciation to Ofer Gal, who supervised my PhD with constant interest, insightfulness and support. This thesis owes so much to his helpful conversation and encouraging supervision and guidance. I have benefitted immensely from the suggestions and criticisms of my examiners, John Sutton, Nick Wilding, and Anthony Grafton, to whom I owe a particular debt. Grafton’s suggestion during the very early stages of my candidature that the quarrel between William Camden and Ralph Brooke might provide a promising avenue for research provided much inspiration for the larger project. I am greatly indebted to the staff in the Unit for History and Philosophy of Science: in particular, Hans Pols for his unwavering support and encouragement; Daniela Helbig, for providing some much-needed motivation during the home-stretch; and Debbie Castle, for her encouraging and reassuring presence. I have benefitted immensely from conversations with friends, in and outside the Unit for HPS. This includes, (but is not limited to): Megan Baumhammer, Sahar Tavakoli, Ian Lawson, Nick Bozic, Gemma Lucy Smart, Georg Repnikov, Anson Fehross, Caitrin Donovan, Stefan Gawronski, Angus Cornwell, Brenda Rosales and Carrie Hardie. My particular thanks to Kathryn Ticehurst and Laura Sumrall, for their willingness to read drafts, to listen, and to help me clarify my thoughts and ideas. My thanks also to the Centre for Editing Lives and Letters, University College London, and the History of Science Program, Princeton University, where I benefitted from spending time as a visiting research student.

  • Radcliffean Romance Jacqueline Howard 1
    Radcliffean Romance Jacqueline Howard 1 Topic One: On some 'Radcliffe' genealogies November 2000 William Radcliffe---Rouge Croix? À propos Rictor Norton's amazing Mistress of Udolpho, a query regarding the identity of Ann Radcliffe's husband, William Radcliffe: W. L Renwick, in his English Literature 1789-1815 (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1963) pp. 85-6, writes of Gaston de Blondeville: ‘This was written to amuse her husband, now Rouge Croix Pursuivant in the College of Heralds and Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries …’. Bonamy Dobrée, in his introduction to his 1966 edition of Udolpho, also mentions these distinctions, as well as William’s proprietorship of the English Chronicle. Although Norton alludes to William's ‘antiquarian’ interests in his chapter on Gaston, he doesn't mention the Rouge Croix – not even to dismiss it out of hand as erroneous, as he does with the 'farago of nonsense' that William had given up his employment in the British Embassy in Italy to enter journalism. There's no mention of the Rouge Croix & Society of Antiquaries in Robert Miles' The Great Enchantress either, or in Deborah Rogers' books on Radcliffe. Why has reference to these alleged offices held by William apparently disappeared into oblivion? January 2001 William Radcliffe Rouge Croix – a horrid mystery? A report of William Radcliffe's initial appointment by King George III to the office of Rouge Croix appears in Cobbett's Weekly Political Register, Vol. III, No. 22, Sat. June 4. 1803, p. 861, as having been announced at Whitehall on May 12. This Radcliffe is said to be 'of Barnsley in the County of York'.

Clare Four times each year, at our quarterly ‘Obit’ services in St David George’s Chapel, we commemorate and give thanks for the Founder and Benefactors of the College of St George. As we do Photographs: so, we remember all those “who helped to create and establish St George’s House as a centre of learning and study”. We are reminded at each ‘Obit’ observation of the significant part that St George’s House has played in the history of the College. During 2016, as you will see from what follows in this Review, we were delighted to mark the 50th anniversary of the founding of the House by HRH The Duke of Edinburgh and Dean Robin Woods. During the past year, we have been especially mindful of the vision, imagination, and profound concern to help build a better world that were at the beginning, and have remained through the years, the inspiration of the architects of the St George’s House wide-ranging programme.

    COVENTRY DIOCESAN BOARD OF FINANCE LIMITED REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 December 2014 Company Registered Number: 319482 Registered Charity Number: 247828 COVENTRY DIOCESAN BOARD OF FINANCE LIMITED REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 December 2014 Coventry Diocesan Board of Finance Limited: serving the Diocese of Coventry The Diocese of Coventry is one of 42 dioceses in the Church of England. Re-founded in 1918 but with a history dating back to 658, the diocese has an overall population of approximately 820,000 and covers an area of just under 700 square miles, covering Coventry, most of Warwickshire and a small part of Solihull. The diocese is sub-divided into 11 areas called deaneries and, overall, includes 199 parishes. Some parishes have more than one church - the diocese has 238 churches open for public worship. The diocese has one Cathedral – The Cathedral Church of St Michael, Coventry. Each diocese is led by a Diocesan Bishop. The Right Reverend Doctor Christopher Cocksworth became Bishop of Coventry in 2008. Shortly after his installation he re-affirmed the diocesan mission as one of worshipping God, making new disciples and transforming communities. The diocesan strategy to achieve this is by focussing on eight essential qualities of healthy growing churches: empowering leadership; gift-orientated ministry; passionate spirituality; inspiring worship; holistic small groups; need-orientated outreach; loving relationships; and functional structures. The Coventry Diocesan Board of Finance Limited (“the DBF”) was established under the Diocesan Boards of Finance Measure 1925 and is both a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity.

  • Sir Thomas Lawrence
    Devizes One of Wiltshire’s Illustrious Sons Sir Thomas Lawrence by Ann Russell Sir Thomas Lawrence, the most successful English portrait painter of his day, is particularly remembered as a “society” painter. His subjects included kings, queens and princes, great diplomats and famous generals, and even the Pope himself sat for him. Thomas Lawrence was born at Bristol on the 4th May, 1769. His father was an innkeeper and when his son was four years old the family moved to Devises, where Mr. Lawrence became “mine host” at the Black Bear. Very soon everyone was aware of the great gift which Thomas possessed. His earliest works were mainly profiles, done in pencil, and his first subjects were doubtless the worthy Wiltshiremen of Devizes, sitting in meditation or conversation as the slaked their thirst with his father‟s ale. By the time he was ten he had won a reputation as a prodigy and become accepted as a serious portraitist. He was still only thirteen cars old when his family moved to Bath, and yet despite very little conventional education or artistic training, he now felt competent to set up as a professional. By this time he was working in pastels but it was not until he moved to London, in 1786, that he began to experiment with oils. In London he spent a short time studying at the Royal Academy schools and here he first met the famous Devonian, Sir Joshua Reynolds, who helped and encouraged him and into whose shoes he was ultimately destined to step. Lawrence, although still very young, was not only exceptionally gifted but handsome in looks and manners and charming to all around him.
