  • Geoffrey of Dutton, the Fifth Crusade, and the Holy Cross of Norton
    A Transformed Life? Geoffrey of Dutton, the Fifth Crusade, and the Holy Cross of Norton. Despite the volume of scholarship dedicated to crusade motivation, comparative little has been said on how the crusades affected the lives of individuals, and how this played out once the returned home. Taking as a case study a Cheshire landholder, Geoffrey of Dutton, this article looks at the reasons for his crusade participation and his actions once he returned to Cheshire, arguing that he was changed by his experiences to the extent that he was concerned with remembering and conveying his own status as a returned pilgrim. It also looks at the impact of a relic of the True Cross he brought back and gave to the Augustinian priory of Norton. Keywords: crusade; relic; Norton Priory; burial; seal An extensive body of scholarship has considered what motivated people to go on crusade in the middle ages (piety, obligation and service, family connections and ties of lordship, punishment and escape), as well as what impact that had across Europe in terms of recruitment, funding and organisation. Far less has been said about the more personal impact of crusading for individuals who took part. This is largely due to the nature of the sources from which, according to Housley, ‘not much can be inferred…about the response of the majority of crusaders to what they’d gone through in the East.’1 With the exception of accounts of the post-crusading careers of the most important individuals, notably Louis IX of France, very little was written about how crusaders responded to taking part in an overseas campaign which mixed the height of spiritual endeavour with extreme violence.

  • Wirral Archives Service Workshop Medieval Wirral (11Th to 15Th Centuries)
    Wirral Archives Service Workshop Medieval Wirral (11th to 15th centuries) The Norman Conquest The Norman Conquest was followed by rebellions in the north. In the summer of 1069 Norman armies laid waste to Yorkshire and Northumbria, and then crossed the Pennines into Cheshire where a rebellion had broken out in the autumn – they devastated the eastern lowlands, especially Macclesfield, and then moved on to Chester, which was ‘greatly wasted’ according to Domesday Book – the number of houses paying tax had been reduced from 487 to 282 (by 42 per cent). The Wirral too has a line of wasted manors running through the middle of the peninsula. Frequently the tax valuations for 1086 in the Domesday Book are only a fraction of that for 1066. Castles After the occupation of Chester in 1070 William built a motte and bailey castle next to the city, which was rebuilt in stone in the twelfth century and became the major royal castle in the region. The walls of Chester were reconstructed in the twelfth century. Other castles were built across Cheshire, as military strongholds and as headquarters for local administration and the management of landed estates. Many were small and temporary motte and bailey castles, while the more important were rebuilt in stone, e.g. at Halton and Frodsham [?] . The castle at Shotwick, originally on the Dee estuary, protecting a quay which was an embarkation point for Ireland and a ford across the Dee sands. Beeston castle, built on a huge crag over the plain, was built in 1220 by the earl of Chester, Ranulf de Blondeville.

The proposal includes subdivision of the property to create four apartments at third, fourth and attic level, creating a rooftop terrace at third floor level, enhancing an existing rooftop terrace at fifth floor level and separating the Rows shop to create a separate entity. The site is within Chester City Conservation Area. It is located on the north side of Eastgate, opposite the Browns Department store building, abutting Godstall Lane, in an area that is predominantly retail and commercial. It is in the vicinity of several heritage assets, including scheduled ancient monuments, listed buildings and other buildings that are considered non-designated heritage assets. Collectively these have group value that contribute to the conservation area’s special architectural and historic character and interest. This Heritage Impact Assessment has been written to identify the impact of the proposed development on the significance of the heritage assets on the proposed alteration to The Rows walkway and stall board.

  • Radiocarbon Dates 1993-1998
    RADIOCARBONDATES RADIOCARBONDATES RADIOCARBON DATES This volume holds a datelist of 1063 radiocarbon determinations carried out between 1993 and 1998 on behalf of the Ancient Monuments Laboratory of English Heritage. It contains supporting information about the samples and the sites producing them, a comprehensive bibliography, and two indexes for reference from samples funded by English Heritage and analysis. An introduction provides discussion of the character and taphonomy between 1993 and 1998 of the dated samples and information about the methods used for the analyses reported and their calibration. The datelist has been collated from information provided by the submitters of the samples and the dating laboratories. Many of the sites and projects from which dates have been obtained are now published, although developments in statistical methodologies for the interpretation of radiocarbon dates since these measurements were made may allow revised chronological models to be constructed on the basis of these dates. The purpose of this volume is to provide easy access to the raw scientific and contextual data which may be used in further research.

    CHESHIRE OBSERVER 1 August 5 1854 Runcorn POLICE COURT 28TH ULT John Hatton, a boatman, of Winsford, was charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of himself on the previous night, and was locked up for safety. Discharged with a reprimand. 2 October 7 1854 Runcorn ROBBERY BY A SERVANT Mary Clarke, lately in the service of Mrs Greener, beerhouse keeper, Alcock Street, was, on Wednesday, charged before Philip Whiteway Esq, at the Town Hall, with stealing a small box, containing 15s 6d, the property of her late mistress. The prisoner, on Monday evening, left Mrs Greener's service, and the property in question was missed shortly afterwards. Early on Tuesday morning she was met by Davis, assistant constable, in the company of John Bradshaw, a boatman. She had then only 3 1/2d in her possession, but she subsequently acknowledged that she had taken the box and money, and said she had given the money to a young man. She was committed to trial for the theft, and Bradshaw, the boatman, was committed as a participator in the offence, but was allowed to find bail for his appearance. 3 April 14 1855 Cheshire Assizes BURGLARY William Gaskell, boatman, aged 24, for feloniously breaking into the dwelling house of Thomas Hughes, clerk, on the night of the 8th August last, and stealing therefrom a silver salver and various other articles.

  • Medieval Chester
    Medieval Chester Our Guide Chester Visitor Information Centre Team VIC Team In this guide, we'll be taking a look at Chester in the Norman and later medieval periods, from around 1070 to 1500. But please excuse us if we don't stick too rigidly to these dates.... Chester’s history often isn’t that neat, and you are in a city where Roman, Medieval, Tudor, Stuart, Georgian & Victorian influences jostle for position along streets nearly 2000 years old. Sometimes they happily rub shoulders in the same building! Medieval Chester was an important port, merchant city, religious centre, military stronghold, and administrative centre. This walk of a little over 2 miles/3 km will help you discover more about the city in this important period in its long history. Our Walk Our Walk starts at the Visitor Information Centre and we begin by heading across the Town Hall Square towards the Cathedral. As you walk towards the Cathedral, look a little to your left, where you will see the red sandstone arch called the Abbey Gateway. Dating from around 1300 (the upper storey was rebuilt around 1800) its name gives away its original use. In the medi- eval period, what we now call Chester Cathedral was in fact the Benedictine Abbey of St Werburgh. Chester did have a Cathedral for at least some of the middle ages, but that was across the city at the church of St John the Baptist, which we will visit a little later. The abbey was established in the late 11th century, fol- lowing the Norman conquest and the present cathedral VIC Team was built as the abbey's church.
