The plans for the forecourt aim to open up the area to provide a transition between the busy main road, and the tranquil and respect- ful area within the Cemetery itself. The new roadway and planting scheme will still provide for services to be held at the War Memorial, of course a 20th Century addition to the area, and will enhance the setting of the Tite Arch and its accompanying Bramah railings. On other fronts, there is at last progress towards our long-term aim of working with Lambeth to develop a process whereby the conflicting aims of conservation, including nature conservation, heritage, and use of the cemetery for new burials might be reconciled within the complex legal framework that applies at Norwood. We did seem to be on the point of agreement on all this until the upheavals in Lambeth a couple of years The newly-revealed railings in the ago. Let us hope we are not yet again frustrated. Cemetery forecourt The crucial thing in all the discussions is to agree a way forward on the difficult question of re-use of burial space in the Cemetery whilst conserving pre-Lambeth era monuments (and in time removing more recent time- expired gravestones). We see this as the only way in which funds to preserve and enhance what remains of the Cemetery can be obtained, whilst at the same time opening the way towards a Heritage Lottery Fund bid to help with monument conservation. As regards actual progress with conservat- ion issues, work has started on the Grade II* listed Berens mausoleum, as reported in the last Newsletter, and the long-awaited repair to the monument at the top of the hill lead- ing to the crematorium (grave 1,425, square 66) demolished in 2009 is in hand thanks to Alastair Johnston and his team at Lambeth. Unfortunately the ever-deepening trench in the road up from the Greek Cemetery still awaits attention. Our own contributions continue, and in addition to more scrub clearance work in areas near to Ship Path, we have funded repairs to the tomb of Sir William Dunn and his wife (grave 33,242, square 43) and to the Maddick mausoleum (grave 37,450, square 124). Let us hope this Work in progress: tomb of Otto Alexander rate of progress can be sustained. Berens (grave 5,408, square 63) - 2 - Councillor Mark Bennett It is with great personal sadness that I record the sudden and un- expected death of the Mayor of Lambeth, Cllr Mark Bennett on 4 February this year at the age of 43. It is thought that he suffered a heart attack. Mark visited the Cemetery in the company of HRH the Duke of Gloucester in June last year (see Newsletter 78, September 2013) and expressed great interest in our work, he himself having family burials here. He was Labour Councilor for Streatham South. Before his election to Lambeth Council, Mark had worked for Alastair Campbell at 10 Downing Street and later he helped edit his diaries for publication. Alastair Campbell read the oration at his funeral, and Tony Blair was in attendance. Cllr Bennett was known throughout the Borough for his enthusiasm for, and interest in, local history. I’m sure he would have supported our efforts to preserve and enhance the cemetery by ensuring an income stream via provision of burial space for Lambeth residents, whilst at the same time keeping within the law and ensuring that surviving historic monuments are safeguarded. The English Heritage At Risk Register Bob Flanagan The English Heritage Heritage at Risk programme every year publishes a list of the sites most at risk of being lost through neglect, decay, or inappropriate development (www.english-heritage.org.uk/caring/heritage-at-risk/). The entry for Norwood makes sad reading. In addition to the Catacombs beneath the site of the former Episcopal Chapel, the 17 monuments listed below feature on the Register at present. A 4- or 5-year rolling conservation programme, for example, could see all these significant monuments restored given that work on the Berens monument is already in hand. This must be a priority if our negotiations with Lambeth as to the future of the Cemetery prove fruitful.

    RESEARCH GUIDE Cemetery Records Research Guide 5: Cemetery Records CONTENTS Introduction Main cemetery records held at LMA Bunhill Fields (CLC/271) New Bunhill Fields, Islington (B/NBF) The City of London Cemetery, Little Ilford (CLA/052) The City of London and Tower Hamlets Cemetery (CTHC) Other cemetery records at LMA Indexes and Transcripts in the LMA Library Records held elsewhere Introduction Before the mid-19th century most burials in London took place in churchyards and from the mid-16th century were recorded in parish registers. Some hospitals and other institutions had their own burial grounds. From the time of the Black Death special burial grounds outside the City walls were provided for people who died from the periodic epidemics of plague which afflicted London. Land to the north of the Artillery Ground known as Bunhill Fields was set aside in 1665 as a plague burial ground, but was not used for this purpose. It then became a burial ground for nonconformists. After 1690 many nonconformist meeting houses and chapels were established in London some of which had their own burial grounds. By the late 18th century the London churchyards were becoming overcrowded. New cemeteries were established as private speculations generally offering slightly lower charges for burials than the churchyards. Some of these burial grounds were originally connected to chapels adjoining them, but were subsequently bought by private individuals. By 1835 there were at least fourteen such burial grounds in London including Spa Fields, Clerkenwell, opposite London Metropolitan Archives (LMA) where about 80, 000 people were buried. An enquiry in 1843 discovered that about 40 burials were taking place each day.

  • The Norman Conquest: Ten Centuries of Interpretation (1975)
    CARTER, JOHN MARSHALL. The Norman Conquest: Ten Centuries of Interpretation (1975). Directed by: Prof. John H. Beeler. The purpose of this study was to investigate the historical accounts of the Norman Conquest and its results. A select group of historians and works, primarily English, were investigated, beginning with the chronicles of medieval writers and continuing chronologically to the works of twentieth century historians. The majority of the texts that were examined pertained to the major problems of the Norman Conquest: the introduction of English feudalism, whether or not the Norman Conquest was an aristocratic revolution, and, how it affected the English church. However, other important areas such as the Conquest's effects on literature, language, economics, and architecture were observed through the "eyes" of past and present historians. A seconday purpose was to assemble for the student of English medieval history, and particularly the Norman Conquest, a variety of primary and secondary sources. Each new generation writes its own histories, seeking to add to the existing cache of material or to reinterpret the existing material in the light of the present. The future study of history will be significantly advanced by historiographic surveys of all major historical events. Professor Wallace K. Ferguson produced an indispensable work for students of the Italian Renaissance, tracing the development of historical thought from the fifteenth to the twentieth century. V Professor Bryce Lyon performed a similar task,if not on as epic a scale, with his essay on the diversity of thought in regard to the history of the origins of the Middle Ages.

  • Band's Former Manager and Creative Consultant, De- "We Were Just 'Watch and See,' " He Says
    "When we put the last record out, iTunes were prob- ably the fifth or sixth account," he says. "To come back on this record and have them be the No. 1 account in America, that's probably one of the biggest, most sig- nificant differences." At iTunes, digital album pre- orders began May 6, when "Violet Hill" became available as a download, with consumers able to secure a bonus track to be de- livered with it on album release day. The street date version of the album via iTunes will have a different exclusive bonus track, plus an exclusive music video. Holmes also cites the growth of YouTube as a new factor. "So that's a part of your marketing plan now, which it wouldn't have been three -and -a -half years ago. I was cleaning my desk out recently and found an old MySpace marketing plan when they'd come to us on the last record, [when] they had about 400,000 members. We did a big promotion with them, but it's funny looking back that that was a new platform, and social networking in general was not part of your mar- keting plan. Now it's a major part." But the Coldplay manager regards the retail arena as no less vital. "It's just as important to me. People still buy CDs, and Coldplay are one of those artists where a lot of the fans want to own the CD, they want We all had our corner office in a big tower block, but the whole package." there was no vibe.

  • Richard Wilbur's 'Junk'
    15 Recycling Anglo-Saxon Poetry: Richard Wilbur’s ‘Junk’ and a Self Study Chris Jones University of St Andrews Ever since scraps, both literal and metaphorical, of Anglo-Saxon (also called Old English) verse began to be recovered and edited in more systematic fashion, modern poets have tried to imagine and recreate its sounds in their own work.1 Often the manuscript materials in which Anglo-Saxon poetry survives show signs of having been uncared for and even mistreated; the tenth-century Exeter Book of poetry, for example, which preserves many of the texts now taught in universities as canonical, is scarred with the stains of having had some kind of vessel laid on it, as if it were a drinks mat, with knife-scores, as if it were a chopping board, and with singe marks, as if some red-hot object was temporarily rested on its back (Muir 2000: II, 2). Such treatment is scarce wonder, given that changes in both language and handwriting must have made such manuscripts unintelligible to all but a few until the studies of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century antiquarians began to render them legible again. But it is salutary to remember that fragments of the past which we hold valuable now have often been the junk of intervening ages, waste materials for which only some alternative function might save them from disposal. Recycled, however, fresh uses may be found for Anglo-Saxon poetry, uses that generate for it new currency, in addition to whatever independent value its stock possesses. This essay sets out to examine some of the generative possibilities of recycling Anglo-Saxon poetry, both from a critic’s perspective and a practitioner’s.
