David Brandon Griffiths (1940-2011) avid Griffiths was born in Conway, North Wales, on 8 November 1940, moving to London D when he was five. Like many expatriates, he became very keen to retain his links with his mother country, and in addition to representing it at athletics in sprint events, he realised how interesting it was to link local history with collecting. Initially he collected Welsh 17th century tokens, triggered by the 1973 publication of George Boon’s book on the subject. But, finding out how much individual 17th century tokens cost and, encouraged by Monica Bussell (1906-74) at Seaby’s, David decided to start collecting Welsh 18th century tokens, principally Anglesey. He put together what is believed to be the largest collection of these pieces ever assembled. David soon expanded his 17th century token interests to cover Hertfordshire, of which county his collection is the largest of its kind ever formed, and other counties, in particular Middlesex, Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire, Lincolnshire, Rutland and Shropshire. His collection of 18th century tokens covers all counties, with a particularly large group of Middlesex tokens, and his smaller 19th century collection includes tickets, checks and medals. Having dispersed his library of token literature in these rooms a year ago, David’s token collection, the subject of 38 years of dedicated collecting, will feature in a group of auctions staged by DNW over the coming years, beginning here with his 18th century tokens of the counties from Bedfordshire to Middlesex, 359 pieces in total. Among them are excellent representations of Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire, his local areas, along with a good run of issues associated with Robert Orchard, the Sawbridgeworth brewer, and David Alves Rebello, the Jewish merchant domiciled in Hackney. There are a number of silver proofs and particularly good groups of the extensive issues made for the quack chemist Basil Burchell from London’s Long Acre and the bookseller James Lackington, based at Finsbury Square.

    Collegiate Churches, Ten Priories, and Six Nunneries, Whilst the Massive Remains of Fourteen Military Strongholds Are Still More Or Less Evident

    ST.AFFORDSRIR~, Collegiate Churches, ten Priories, and six Nunneries, whilst the massive remains of fourteen military strongholds are still more or less evident. The Benedictines early established themselves at Burton Abbey, in 1002, and at the Priory of Lapley a few years afterwards. 1'hey also had foundations at the Abbey of Calwich, and the Priories ofTutbury, Blythe­ bury, Can well, and Sand well, together with the Nunneries of Farewell and Blackladies. The Augustinian Canons built the Abbeys of Ronton and Roccster, and had besides the Priories of Trentham, Stone, Stafford and St. Thomas at Lichfield. The Cistercian Order boasted of the three Abbeys of Croxden, Abbey Hulton, and Dieu la Cresse and they also . had a monastery at Radmore, in the forest of Cannock. The Cluniac monks never gained a footing in the county, but the remains of Dudley Priory, founded in 1140, just outside the border line still assert their near presence. Of the various orders of Friars, the Grey Friars were repre­ sented at Lichfield and Stafford, the Austin Friars at Stafford only. 1'he Knights Templar had a Preceptory at Keele, and also lands at Stoke. In Parish Churches, however, Staffordshire was not so richly endowed as many other counties, the approximate numbers, at the time of "the Domesday Survey, amounting only to about 28 or 30, though during the later Norman period the number increased at a rapid rate. The following were formerly Collegiate Churches, viz., . ·wol verhampton, Tettenhall, Gnosall, Lichfield, Penkridge, Stafford, &c. Tho mcdimval military remains comprise the Castles of Stafford, Wednesbmy, Chartley, Dudley, Alton, 1'utbury, Eccleshall, Caverswall, Heyleigh, Lichfield, Chesterton, N ~w­ castle, Stourton, and Audley, some of which have absolutely disappeared, whilst others frown formidably even in their ruin.

    PLANNING APPLICATION NUMBER:P10/0765 Type of approval sought Conservation Area Consent Ward Castle & Priory Applicant Dudley College Location: KUDOS HOUSE, LAND AT CORNER OF PRIORY ROAD & EDNAM ROAD, DUDLEY, WEST MIDLANDS, DY1 1HL Proposal CONSERVATION AREA CONSENT FOR DEMOLITION OF KUDOS HOUSE, FORMER COACH HOUSE, SPORTS HALL AND BOUNDARY WALLS Recommendation REFUSE Summary: SITE AND SURROUNDINGS 1 The application site is 0.4 hectares in size and encompasses a Locally Listed Historic House (constructed in 1864-5 as Priory Villa but more recently re-named Kudos House) along with its extensive grounds which also contain an associated historic Coach House. These elements with their historic boundary walls all fall within the boundary of the Dudley Town Centre Conservation Area. The application site extends beyond this incorporating a part of the Priory Road Car Park and a building housing a former gymnasium at the rear of no. 2 Ednam Road. The gymnasium and boundary treatment along Priory Road (wall, railings and posts) are vestiges of the former use of this part of the site as Dudley Girls Grammar School. Priory Villa itself is in a good condition and is currently being used as council offices (electoral services office). 2 In the context of the current application for demolition the application site itself needs to be understood in the context of the historic evolution of Dudley Town Centre and of the contribution that the historic buildings and their historic layout make to local distinctiveness and the ‘sense of place’ that makes Dudley special when compared to other towns in the Black Country and beyond.

No archaeological features were discovered during the evaluation; however, it was not possible to evaluate the western edge of site (the area of greatest archaeological potential) due to the presence of a grove of mature beech trees. This report recommends that the clients notify Aberdeen City Council Archaeology Unit prior to any future groundworks within this area, to allow an evaluation trench to be dug (if appropriate) to determine the possible location of the Aberdeenshire canal.. 1.

    EAST SHROPSHIRE CHURCH TRAIL I SPY SHEET (1 OF 2) Tick the boxes on the left as you find them! ALL SAINTS, CLAVERLEY - KNIGHT FALLING OFF HIS HORSE There are a few of these, all of them not very good at jousting! The paintings in the nave (the central part of the church) and the pictures look a bit like the pictures on the Bayeaux Tapestry, but they’re probably not about the Battle of Hastings. They could be about a famous Emperor called Charlemagne who had lots of stories told about him in the Middle Ages. ALL SAINTS, CLAVERLEY - AN ANGEL AND A TREE Near this tree you’ll see a hole in the wall at the bottom. Through the hole you’ll see an older part of the church which has been rebuilt more recently. The church is 800 years old after all and has been made bigger and repaired lots of times since the beginning. ST MARY’S, ALVELEY – SKELETON This image is part of a bigger painting done during the 1300s. It shows a woman, a skeleton and a man with a horn. The woman is supposed to be a portrayal of one of the Seven Deadly Sins (seven of the worst attributes Christians think you can have). The deadly nature of these sins is illustrated by the skeleton… and what he looks like he’s going to do with his spear! ST MARY’S, ALVELEY – SWORD SHARPENING MARKS The area around Bridgnorth saw a lot of fighting during the English Civil War (1642- 1651). The dents are supposed to be from soldiers, getting ready to fight a small battle, sharpening their swords on a wall.

    Foxhunting and the Landscape Between 1700 and 1900; with Particular Reference to Norfolk and Shropshire

    Foxhunting and the landscape between 1700 and 1900; with particular reference to Norfolk and Shropshire Jane Bevan Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia School of History October 2011 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on the condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that no quotation from the thesis, nor any information derived from it, may be published without acknowledgement Abstract This thesis explores the history of foxhunting from 1700 to 1900. It examines how perceptions of an ideal hunting country, and what constituted an elite quarry, altered in tandem with alterations to the English lowland countryside. The relationship between the landscape and changes bought about by the upheaval of enclosure and agricultural development are discussed, in the context of the evolution in practice and geographical spread of foxhunting, at a national, regional and county-wide level. Several long-held beliefs are challenged. The social history of foxhunting and the increased participation of both ‘polite’ urban neophytes and prosperous tenant farmers during the two centuries is compared with the declining involvement of women. The impact of hunt clubs and the rise of subscription packs in the two study areas is contrasted. The influence of changes in the landscape on foxhunting is considered alongside the reciprocal impact of foxhunters manipulating the physical surroundings to enhance their sport. A detailed study of the history of hunting and its most iconic feature, the covert, in Norfolk and Shropshire highlights the importance of landowners control over the countryside.
