In this issue, we have an article that makes a link between the series and Richard III. Read Richard van Allen’s piece entitled ‘Richard III and “You-Know-Who”’ to find out more. If there has to be a link, I would rather have hoped that J.K. Rowling had modelled Voldemort on a certain Cardinal Mor- ton! This is another issue with a wide selection of articles and reviews, showing the quality of our home grown writers and the range and depth of our activities. I particularly like ‘The Man Him- self’, in which Richard’s very poignant concern for the fallen of Towton, tells us so much about the real man and his recognition of loyalty and concern for others – something that the Tudor myth-makers were not able to erase from history, thank heaven. Our Annual Report can be found in the centre of this issue – it provides a concise account of our activities over the year 2006/2007, and also looks forward to some of the initiatives planned for the future. Having got our house well and truly in order, we can now plan for the longer term with more confidence. I hope members will recognise that we are now reaping the benefits of the reforms and changes made over recent years. However, the subscription increases made in 2001 and 2004 provided us with the income to maintain our existing services and activities, but they didn’t provide a working capital for investment in the future. In consequence, it’s inevitable that we will be seeking to increase subscription rates at this year’s Annual General Meeting. By tradition, the weather dominates conversations in the British Isles and this has certainly been the case recently. Serious flooding has hit many parts of the country and the picture of Tewkesbury Abbey sitting like an island will be difficult to forget. We have a report on how the floods have affected Ricardian sites and impacted on summer events associated with them, and we all send our sympathy to members who have suffered as a result of the floods. With this Bulletin, you will find Ricardian bookmarks designed by Geoffrey Wheeler. The idea is that you can leave them in library books, borrowed books or indeed anywhere else, in the hope that whoever picks them up next might be enticed to find out more about King Richard, and, maybe, even join the Society. Alternatively, you may want to keep them for your own use. Thanks to Geoff as always for his excellent work on this project. Looking ahead to next year, we are due for our triennial conference, the 10th, and, with its Princes in the Tower theme, the 2008 one looks set to be very popular. This is a subject that nev- er ceases to both fascinate and frustrate, no matter how often we talk about it. The conference aims for a comprehensive approach to the subject in the hope of shedding new light on the con- troversy. Book early to avoid disappointment. With some substantial business to cover concerning subscription rates and voting procedures, this year’s AGM is an especially important one. Please read the motions carefully and, if you are able to make the meeting, we look forward to hearing your views. We are back in London this year returning to the Staple Inn Hall, and if anyone is wondering why we are not at the Scientific Society’s Lecture Theatre, I am afraid it has fallen to the bulldozer, along with the rest of For- tress House. As far as we know, Staple Inn Hall stands firm and I look forward to meeting mem- bers there on 29 September. Phil Stone 2 Society News and Notices Richard III Society Members’ Day and Annual General Meeting Saturday 29 September 2007 As the heading states, Saturday 29 September is both the AGM and a day for members to get involved and will follow a similar pattern to recent London AGMs. Further to the official notification in the summer Bulletin, the start time for the Members’ Day has been changed from 12:00 to 11:30 and this time we will start proceedings with the lec- ture.

The Latin inscription actively involved in London archaeology as attached to the top of the coffin identified its occupant part of Dr Francis Celoria’s digging team.1 as Anne Mowbray, Duchess of York. She was the child Naturally all the members of the group bride of Richard, Duke of York, the younger son of were very interested in such an important Edward IV. Anne died in November 1481, shortly discovery, and when Anne Mowbray was before her ninth birthday. As the opportunity to study identified we were all impressed (possibly scientifically a named individual from the medieval no-one more so than James). When the day period is extremely rare, the London Museum quickly came for Anne Mowbray to be reburied in organised a comprehensive programme of analysis, Westminster Abbey, the BBC wanted to which included the study of Anne’s life, her hair, teeth, interview Celoria, but he could not be found, skeletal remains and the metallurgy of her coffin.
  • The Sun King and the Merry Monarch

    The Sun King and the Merry Monarch

    The Sun King and the Merry 1678 Monarch Explores the religious backdrop to one of the largest threats to England's throne - the Popish Plot. Aggravated by the murder of the magistrate Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey, the Plot reflected religious beliefs and insecurities at the By Calum time. Sir Godfrey was my ancestor (of some 11 generations). A visit to his Johnson grave in Westminster Abbey in 2014 inspired me to explore his role in this religious turmoil which hit hard in 17th Century England... The Clergyman and the King of England Leaving for his morning stroll on the 13th of August 1678, Charles II, King of England and Defender of the Faith heard for the first time of a plot to kill him. This was far from unusual. Indeed, just months earlier, a woman in Newcastle had been subjected to a large investigation after stating, "the King deserves the curse of all good and faithful wives for his bad example”. And yet, when Mr Kirkby (his lab assistant) brought Dr Israel Tonge to him at 8 o’clock that evening, the king listened impatiently before handing the matter over to his first minister…. The Religious Pendulum: Change of Faith in England To truly examine the tumult about to hit England in the 17th Century, it is important that we look first at the Religious scene in Europe some 150 years earlier. In the previous century the Reformation began and Protestantism gathered momentum, fuelled by a desire to reduce the exuberance of the Church in Rome with its elaborate sculptures, paintings and stained-glass windows.

    The CAMRA Regional Inventory for London Pub Interiors of Special Historic Interest Using the Regional Inventory

    C THE CAMPAIGN FOR REAL ALE The CAMRA Regional Inventory for London Pub Interiors of Special Historic Interest Using the Regional Inventory The information The Regional Inventory listings are found on pages 13–47, where the entries are arranged alphabetically by postal districts and, within these, by pub names. The exceptions are outer London districts which are listed towards the end. Key Listed status Statutory listing: whether a pub building is statutorily listed or not is spelled out, together with the grade at which it is listed LPA Local planning authority: giving the name of the London borough responsible for local planning and listed building matters ✩ National Inventory: pubs which are also on CAMRA’s National Inventory of Pub interiors of Outstanding Historic Interest Public transport London is well served by public transport and few of the pubs listed are far from a bus stop, Underground or rail station. The choice is often considerable and users will have no di≤culty in easily reaching almost every pub with the aid of a street map and a transport guide. A few cautionary words The sole concern of this Regional Inventory is with the internal historic fabric of pubs – not with qualities like their atmosphere, friendliness or availability of real ale that are featured in other CAMRA pub guides. Many Regional Inventory pubs are rich in these qualities too, of course, and most of them, but by no means all, serve real ale. But inclusion in this booklet is for a pub’s physical attributes only, and is not to be construed as a recommendation in any other sense.

    A Royal Tragedy

    William Shakespeare's Richard III A Royal Tragedy Acts Three, Four, and Five Notes Provided by WISDOM Home Schooling's Online Socratic Dialogue Progra Dramatis Personae KING EDWARD IV – The leader of the Yorkists, who beat the Lancastrian king, Henry VI, and took his throne. During the final battle that beat the Lancastrians, King Edward was one of the three men who dishonourably stabbed Lady Anne’s husband when he was already down. Edward used to be a great warrior, but has now become sickly, and is more interested in entertainment and women than in feats of courage. Sons to the King: EDWARD, PRINCE OF WALES – About thirteen years old. King Edward IV and Queen Elizabeth’s older son, and heir to the throne of England. Wise beyond his years, and protective of his brother. RICHARD, DUKE OF YORK – About ten years old. Prince Edward’s younger brother, he is second in line to inherit the throne. Less serious than his brother, he is given to joking around and making fun of adults. Brothers to the King: GEORGE, DUKE OF CLARENCE – Clarence is a conflicted man. During the war between the Yorkists and the Lancastrians, he fought on whichever side seemed to be winning at the time. He was one of the three who stabbed Lady Anne’s husband. Despite his shifting alliances, Clarence nonetheless has a deep love for his wife and children. RICHARD, DUKE OF GLOUCESTER (pronounced “Gloss-ter”), who will one day become KING RICHARD III – Gloucester is a hunchback with a withered arm and a limp.
