As the area to be covered is in this instance much smaller than when whole counties are surveyed , I thought it would be well to include some account o f the various religious houses o f the Island which were suppressed at the time o f the general dissolution of the mon t as e rie s . What I have written under this head to vo l is a considerable extent condensed from . 11 . o f Victoria Co um H isto o H am shire the fy ry f p , PREFACE .

I have long known and loved the manifold o f attractions the Island . My earliest visits o f to any its churches go back to 1 862 . After a variety of intervening sojourns , my 1 1 0 memory was refreshed in August , 9 , when all save three o f the o ld parish churches were again inspected . My indebtedness is grea t to Mr . Percy o n Stone, to whose noble volum es the A rchitectural Antiquities of the I s le of PVight I subscribed when issued in 1 891 ; he has recently given m e both viva voce and written information after a generous fashion . I also desire to thank that able ecclesiologist , Rev . o f G . E . Jeans , vicar Shorwell, for kindly help , and also the Rev . T . E . Coverdale , o f . rector St . Laurence , the Rev .

  • REAPPRAISAL of a COLLARED URN and OTHER POTTERY from BARROW 8, ASHEY DOWN, ISLE of WIGHT by DAVID J
    REAPPRAISAL OF A COLLARED URN AND OTHER POTTERY FROM BARROW 8, ASHEY DOWN, ISLE OF WIGHT By DAVID J. TOMALIN INTRODUCTION IN 1969, excavations on Ashey Down revealed some 240 potsherds lying on the buried land surface beneath Barrow 8 and scattered in and beyond the surrounding ditch. Forty-six sherds are of similar fabric and 9 bear impressed decoration which has been described as 'short, wide, whipped, cord, maggots'. At first sight these sherds resemble some Late Neolithic pottery from beneath two other Island round barrows at Niton and Arreton Down (Dunning 1932, 198-210; Alexander and Ozanne i960, 276-281). In the Ashey Down excavation report in these Proceedings (Drewett 1972) the assemblage is reported as Neolithic and described as probably representing simple bag-shaped bowls. In 1973 the writer examined the Ashey Down material while preparing a catalogue at Carisbrooke Castle Museum. This article seeks to record new information showing that at present there is little evidence for Neolithic occupation on Ashey Down. THE BRONZE AGE POTTERY (FIG. 1) In the excavation report 12 sherds illustrate the pre-barrow material from the site and are conveniendy numbered 1-12 (Drewett, Fig. 25). In this article they are prefixed D. Most important are sherds D 1-9 which are here recognised as a single vessel, Fig. 1, no. 1, comprising some 46 fragments. The critical sherds are D5 (upside-down) and D 7, both of which form the overhanging portion of a collar. Breaks in the sherds had occurred flush with the overhang and these details seem to have been misinterpreted in the original study, apparently for a rather unusual reason.

  • HEAP for Isle of Wight Rural Settlement
    Isle of Wight Parks, Gardens & Other Designed Landscapes Historic Environment Action Plan Isle of Wight Gardens Trust: March 2015 2 Foreword The Isle of Wight landscape is recognised as a source of inspiration for the picturesque movement in tourism, art, literature and taste from the late 18th century but the particular significance of designed landscapes (parks and gardens) in this cultural movement is perhaps less widely appreciated. Evidence for ‘picturesque gardens’ still survives on the ground, particularly in the Undercliff. There is also evidence for many other types of designed landscapes including early gardens, landscape parks, 19th century town and suburban gardens and gardens of more recent date. In the 19th century the variety of the Island’s topography and the richness of its scenery, ranging from gentle cultivated landscapes to the picturesque and the sublime with views over both land and sea, resulted in the Isle of Wight being referred to as the ‘Garden of England’ or ‘Garden Isle’. Designed landscapes of all types have played a significant part in shaping the Island’s overall landscape character to the present day even where surviving design elements are fragmentary. Equally, it can be seen that various natural components of the Island’s landscape, in particular downland and coastal scenery, have been key influences on many of the designed landscapes which will be explored in this Historic Environment Action Plan (HEAP). It is therefore fitting that the HEAP is being prepared by the Isle of Wight Gardens Trust as part of the East Wight Landscape Partnership’s Down to the Coast Project, particularly since well over half of all the designed landscapes recorded on the Gardens Trust database fall within or adjacent to the project area.

  • Westminster Abbey ASERVICE to CELEBRATE the 60TH ANNIVERSARY of the CORONATION of HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II
    Westminster Abbey ASERVICE TO CELEBRATE THE 60TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CORONATION OF HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II Tuesday 4th June 2013 at 11.00 am FOREWORD On 2nd June 1953, the Coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II followed a pattern established over the centuries since William the Conqueror was crowned in Westminster Abbey on Christmas Day 1066. Our intention in this Service of Thanksgiving is to evoke and reflect the shape of the Coronation service itself. The Queen’s entrance was marked by the Choirs’ singing Psalm 122—I was glad—set to music for the Coronation of EdwardVII by Sir Hubert Parry. The Queen’s Scholars of Westminster School exercised their historic right to exclaim Vivat Regina Elizabetha! (‘Long live Queen Elizabeth!’); so it will be today. The coronation service begins with the Recognition. The content of this part of the service is, of course, not today what it was in 1953, but the intention is similar: to recognise with thanksgiving the dutiful service offered over the past sixty years by our gracious and noble Queen, and to continue to pray God saveThe Queen. The Anointing is an act of consecration, a setting apart for royal and priestly service, through the gift of the Holy Spirit. The Ampulla from which the oil was poured rests today on the HighAltar as a reminder of that central act. St Edward’s Crown also rests today on the High Altar as a powerful symbol of the moment of Coronation. In today’s Service, a flask of Oil is carried by representatives of the people of the United Kingdom to the Sacrarium, received by theArchbishop and placed by the Dean on the High Altar.
