  • A Review of the Tectonic History of the Shropshire Area
    ISSN 1750-855X (Print) ISSN 1750-8568 (Online) A review of the tectonic history of the Shropshire area 1 James Butler BUTLER, J.B. (1990). A review of the tectonic history of the Shropshire area. Proceedings of the Shropshire Geological Society , 9, 20–34. A review of the tectonic data available for Shropshire, relating this to information which has become available from the exploration of the north-west continental shelf. The tectonic history of Shropshire records short bursts of compression producing folding and wrench faulting as a result of continental collision, followed by longer periods of tension, deposition and reversal of movement along the wrench fault system. The County lies upon the Midland Block, comprising Longmyndian and Charnian rock to which was accreted Island Arc volcanics and related sediments along the line of the Pontesford Lineament in the late Precambrian. The so-called "Caledonian grain" was determined at this time and was reactivated many times subsequently. Sediments were folded during the Taconic pulse in mid-Ordovician, and then continental collision along the Iapetus suture in mid-Devonian intensified the Caledonian grain. At the end of the Devonian, collision occurred to the south of the Midland Block. Pulses during the Carboniferous produced the Hercynian basins and welded the continents into one super-continent: Pangea. Break-up of Pangea was followed by a taphrogenic regime with rifting (Cimmerian) in the Permo-Triassic and early Cretaceous. Compressive forces operated at the end of the Cretaceous with reactivation of old wrench faults. Finally, Styrian compression inverted the Weald-type basins and most likely elevated the Welsh Massif at the same time, some 10 million years ago.

  • An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: with a Catalogue of Artefacts
    An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: With a catalogue of artefacts By Esme Nadine Hookway A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MRes Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham March 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract The Anglo-Saxon period spanned over 600 years, beginning in the fifth century with migrations into the Roman province of Britannia by peoples’ from the Continent, witnessing the arrival of Scandinavian raiders and settlers from the ninth century and ending with the Norman Conquest of a unified England in 1066. This was a period of immense cultural, political, economic and religious change. The archaeological evidence for this period is however sparse in comparison with the preceding Roman period and the following medieval period. This is particularly apparent in regions of western England, and our understanding of Shropshire, a county with a notable lack of Anglo-Saxon archaeological or historical evidence, remains obscure. This research aims to enhance our understanding of the Anglo-Saxon period in Shropshire by combining multiple sources of evidence, including the growing body of artefacts recorded by the Portable Antiquity Scheme, to produce an over-view of Shropshire during the Anglo-Saxon period.

  • Cadwallader, Leonard
    Corporal Leonard Cadwallader Date of death 18 September 1918 Age 22 The Baptismal Register of the Bishop’s Castle Chapel records Leonard’s date of birth as April 22 1896 and date of baptism as 7 June 1896. These dates confirm the accuracy of the entry in the 1901 census taken on 31st March that records his age as 4. Like his father, Edward, he was born in Ratlinghope (colloquially named Ratchup) but on the 1901 census the family is recorded as living at High Park, All Stretton. Edward is described as a farmer on the 1901 census. He, and his wife Elizabeth, had six living children and Leonard had 3 elder brothers and one elder sister and a younger, 2 years old, brother so he had plenty of company whilst growing up but not as much as in some other families at this time. Living at All Stretton the family would have experienced the highs and lows of rural life at this time but would have been able to enjoy the beautiful countryside surrounding them. In 1911 when Leonard was 14 he had returned to his birthplace and was working on the farm of the Rowson family near Ratlinghope. The name of the farm is given as The Coates and was of a size to employ 3 mature male workers as well as Leonard and a 16 years old female servant. Coates Farm April 2018 The Coates Farm – a long way from what came next in Leonard’s life. In 1911 Leonard’s parents and their three youngest children still living at home had moved to Minton Oaks, Hamperley which is part of the Little Stretton division of Church Stretton township.
