TRANSACTIONS THE LEICESTERSHIRE antr SOCIETY. VOLUME V. LEICESTER: SAMUEL CLARKE 1882. LEICESTER : PRINTED BY SAMUEL CLARKE. - PREFACE. contributor of each Paper is alone responsible for any facts stated, and opinions expressed. Prior to the year 1881 it had been the custom to print in these Transactions all Papers read before this Society relating in any way to Leicestershire, whether such Papers had, or had not, already appeared in the annual volumes of Reports and Papers issued by the Associated Societies. That plan was adopted for two reasons first, that inasmuch as the publication of our Transactions in a separate form was not commenced until some years after the formation of the Society, it appeared desirable that members who had then recently joined, and who, at that time, formed the majority on our list, should possess copies of all local Papers read at an earlier period, and in the second place because the plan then adopted brought all our Leicestershire contributions together in a form most likely to be of use to the future historian of the County. But having now reached the point in our Transactions when Eeports of Meetings held, and of Papers read, are brought down to the present time, it was thought by the Committee of the IV PREFACE. Society, assembled at the Annual Meeting, held in January, 1881, that a change shall be made by your Editorial Secretary with regard to the printing in our separate Transactions of such Papers as shall hereafter be selected for printing in the annual volumes of the Reports and Papers of the Associated Societies. What that change is, is shewn by the following Resolution then passed : " That the Editorial Secretary be requested to observe that when any Paper read before this Society is published in the Volume of the Associated Societies. such Paper shall not be also printed in the Transactions of this Society, but only such a reference to it, or short abstract of it, as he may think desirable, unless the Committee at any time decide otherwise." This Resolution must of course be my guide for the future, and gentlemen contributing Papers will kindly understand that they will be dealt with accordingly.

THE General Summer Meeting for the year 1875 was held at Ashby-de-la-Zouch, on Tuesday and Wednesday, the 10th and the llth of August. Tuesday, Wth August. Having been met by the Vicar of the parish, the members and friends present proceeded to the Parish Church, the details of which—not very interesting—were examined ; but the attention of the visitors was most engaged by the stately tbmb in the Hastings Chapel, on which lie the effigies of Francis, Earl of Huntingdon (who died in 1561) and his Countess—by the figure of a pilgrim in a sepulchral recess in the north wall of the Church —by the bust of a venerable dame at the eastern end of the gallery in the north aisle—and by the curious old finger-pillory still preserved near the western entrance to the fabric.

    Criteria for Identifying Local Heritage Assets

    CRITERIA FOR IDENTIFYING LOCAL HERITAGE ASSETS ADOPTED JUNE 2016 Contents 1 Introduction 1.1 Statutory context 1.2 Statutory criteria 1.3 Planning policy context 2 Criteria for identifying local heritage assets 2.1 Age and rarity 2.2 Architectural interest 2.3 Historic interest 2.4 Field assessment Appendix 1 Key gazetteers Appendix 2 Field assessment checklist Appendix 3 Glossary 1 Introduction The criteria for identifying local heritage assets shall be used by the District Council to determine whether elements of the historic environment in North West Leicestershire should be identified as local heritage assets. For the purposes of these criteria, elements of the historic environment may include areas, buildings, earthworks and gardens. 1.1 Statutory context Section 69 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 defines a conservation area as an area “of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance”. The District Council has a duty to determine periodically which parts of the district meet this definition and to “designate those areas as conservation areas” (Section 69(1)). The council also has a duty to review conservation areas periodically “to determine whether any further parts should be designated” and to “designate those parts accordingly” (Section 69(2)). Under Section 1 of the Act, the Secretary of State “shall compile lists of buildings of special architectural or historic interest, and may amend any list so compiled” (hence referred to as the ‘statutory list’). Under Section 1 of the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979, the Secretary of State “shall compile and maintain a schedule of monuments”.

    Leicestershire

    LEICESTERSHIRE Leicestershire is medium-sized county in the centre of England. It is bordered to the north by Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, to the east by Lincolnshire and Rutland, to the south by Northamptonshire, and to the west by Warwickshire. The county is dominated by the Borough of Leicester, where weights and measures have been controlled by local officials since the middle ages [1]. The county appointed five inspectors in 1834, but the number soon dwindled to one, Samuel Hester, who remained in office until the police took over in 1857/8. The trade too was concentrated in Leicester. James Caparn, a brazier, was working at the Weights and Measures Office around 1820, and numerous local tradesmen were involved in the trade in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Some simply adjusted weights and repaired scales, but others, such as Marshall and Son, and Whitehead and Honey, became specialists.

  • 02 Introduction

    02 Introduction

    1 Introduction The heated and often vitriolic debate, the "Storm over the Gentry", which attempted to explain the origins of the English Civil War, produced much sound and fury. I Like any storm, it eventually abated, leaving in its wake, if not tattered reputations, certainly bruised egos and, no doubt, the belated recognition by some British historians that the age of chivalry is indeed dead. But it would be unfair to suggest that the sound and fury signified nothing beyond the obvious or that, after all, the debate had been little more than a storm in a tea-cup. On the positive side, the controversy soon revealed that theory had overrun the available evidence and that more research was required. A new generation of historians readily accepted the implied challenge, producing county and regional studies which shed light on, as opposed to generating heat about, the economic and political concerns of the sixteenth- and seventeenth- century gentry.2 Interest in the English gentry, however, has not been confined to historians of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. K.13. McFarlane, in his 1945 lecture on bastard feudalism, proposed that late medieval society would "only yield its secrets to the investigator who can base his R.H.

    “Pirates, Robbers and Other Malefactors”

    “Pirates, robbers and other malefactors” The role played by violence at sea in relations between England and the Hanse towns, 1385 – 1420 Submitted by William Marcus Edward Pitcaithly to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Maritime History, February 2011 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgment. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signed: 1 ABSTRACT The period 1385 – 1420 was an eventful and significant one in Anglo-Hanseatic relations. At its beginning, the English mercantile presence in the Hanse towns was only a few years old, and no real basis for a trading and diplomatic relationship had been arrived at, when an English act of aggression brought into play the issue of piracy and other violence at sea, which would henceforth be one of vital importance in Anglo- Hanseatic relations; it saw the heyday of several notorious pirates, and new policies for their suppression on both sides of the North Sea. Hitherto these years have been treated in this context only as part of examinations of much longer periods. I approach the subject thematically, with some chronological divisions within chapters, examining separately violence by English, Hansards, and third parties, non- violent reprisals, regional and social divisions within England and the Hanse, the Vitalienbrüder, the role of the law, and other factors.

    welcome to the 2013 Annual Report of the Abramson Cancer Center. Every researcher, every physician who cares for cancer patients, appreciates the complexity of cancer. We know now that we are confronting hundreds or even thousands of diseases, that every cancer is in some ways unique. We know too that the causes of cancer, the intricate changes that occur when a cell is transformed from normal to malignant, are connected in fundamental ways to what make us living organisms—human beings. At the Abramson Cancer Center, we are using this rapidly emerging understanding of the amazing world within each of us to seek new ways to diagnose, treat and ultimately prevent cancer. Today, cancer research and treatment require teams of experts, working together, sharing ideas about how to use our knowledge of genetics, of the immune system, of cellular biology, to develop new approaches to treating cancer. Each new discovery opens new doors, and leads us to ask new questions about why things work the way they do and what we can today we can achieve better do as individuals, and as a team, to improve the care we offer every single one of our patients. outcomes both in treating many We know that the cures for cancer will come from within—from understanding the biology and genetics of these diseases, from being able to use our defenses to fight them, from the expertise cancers and in assuring a better and commitment of our researchers and clinicians, and from the extraordinary courage and determination of our patients and their families.
