Bury Church of England High School Greetings
Easter Bury Church of England High School Greetings Sponsored by: BUTCHER & BARLOW, Solicitors & Notaries APRIL 2014 HEADTEACHER’S EASTER SEASON As we celebrate this Easter season, I want to thank all our friends who support the work we do in Christ‟s name as a school. Your support for our work is very much appreciated and the Easter story shows how Christ‟s followers, working together with the wider community can bring about positive change in the world. As we approach the examination period, let us seek to help our Year 11 pupils in particular to embrace the future with hope that God will use them to make a real difference for good in His world. Our new look self-service restaurant has now opened. The feedback from pupils, staff and visitors to the school has been very positive. Pupils have commented on the better quality of the food on offer and the staff agreed. Indeed, one colleague commented that the meal she had was every bit as good as anything she might buy in a good pub. The ID cards have made school a safer place as we are now able to identify anyone who is not meant to be here instantly, even if they are in a school uniform that may look a bit like our own. Please ensure that you remind your child to always bring their ID badge to school, to wear it in school, and to put it in their blazer pocket when travelling to and from school. It will take a little time for this to become routine but we will see it established by September. -
Coin-Loss and the Roman Occupation of North-West England
COIN-LOSS AND THE ROMAN OCCUPATION OF NORTH-WEST ENGLAND DAVID SHOTTER FOR more than half a century the recording and publication of Roman coin-finds in Scotland has provided a body of evidence of immeasurable importance to all who are concerned with the study of the Roman occupation of Scottish sites.1 Elsewhere in Britain, however, whilst such work may have been undertaken with respect to individual sites, it has rarely been published on a regional basis. Over the last two decades an attempt has been made to collect all information on Roman coins found in north-west England - an area covered by the historic counties of Cumberland, Westmorland and Lancashire.2 The purpose of this compilation has been to maximise the contribution of the coin-evidence to our understanding of the Roman occupation of north-west England through which we may hope to see not just the chronology of occupation of individual sites, but also the nature of that occupation, and look further afield for evidence of the social and economic effects on the region of the concentrations of Romanised activity in the forts and their extra-mural settlements. It is, however, important to recognise the shortcomings in the evidence itself and the difficulties inherent in its interpretation. It is self-evident that we need site-samples which are as large as possible and to achieve this, we must call upon coins found at different times and in a variety of circumstances, and which have been recorded with variable levels of completeness, and even of accuracy. At most sites in north-west England, the number of coins recovered during controlled excavations has been relatively small, although Carlisle, probably the most significant site in the region, is an exception to this, with the majority of its sample of two thousand coins deriving from the work undertaken since the mid-1970s by the city's Archaeological Unit. -
Proceedings Wesley Historical Society
Proceedings OFTHE Wesley Historical Society Editor: E. ALAN ROSE, B.A. Volume 57 Part 4 February 2010 THE LONG COURTSHIP: METHODIST UNION IN THE WHITBY AREA Introduction rom the point of view of research into Methodism the twentieth century is under represented in comparison with the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This is despite the fact that this was a period during which some of its most significant developments took place, including the union of three of Methodism's smaller branches in 1907 to form 'The United Methodist Church' and the Methodist Union itself in 1932 which brought together the Wesleyan Methodists, the Primitive Methodists and the United Methodists as 'The Methodist Church', which is what it remains today. Much of what has been written about the Methodist Union of 1932 concentrates on the 'big picture' with a view of what was happening at the top of the organisation (Davies1, KenF, Turner3,) and although there is reference to the responses at lower levels (district, circuit, chapel) there is not a great deal which is concerned with looking at Union from below rather than from above. Yet, as Turner4 has pointed out, Methodists 'tend to be local rather than cosmopolitan' . This purpose of this article is to consider in outline the process by which Union took place in the Whitby area of what was then the North I Davies., R., Methodism, (1963) 2 Kent, J., The Age of Disunity, (1966) 3 Turner, J.M., Methodism in England 1900-1932, in Davies, R., George, A.R.. and Rupp, G.

Bury – Intro – Resurgent Town
Resurgent Town The site of an ancient settlement, Bury is strategically located at a commanding vantage point on a promontory overlooking the mouth of the Irwell Valley. Built upon a plateau, against the picturesque silhouette of Holcombe Hill above the confluence of two substantial rivers, the town grew organically according to the local Pennine topology. Situated along an old Roman Road between Manchester and Ribchester It became an important junction linking Bolton and Rochdale. The original village initially grew around Market Place, the meeting point of the main artery highways. Early inhabitants lived in humble abodes amongst a cluster of coaching inns, merchant stores and workshops huddled around a Georgian Parish Church. In the 19th Century, along with cheap labour, vast resources and energy were poured into the town. Construction boomed; the palatial mills, banks, civic buildings, schools, and hospitals, with infrastructure; the canals, railways, cobbled roads, and public sanitation were remarkable. The flow of investment and capital was considerable leading to architectural bravado in the form of grandiose edifices in Market Place and along the aptly named Silver Street. Most notably the neo-gothic Parish Church and the eccentric Bury Armoury, a romantic castellated Norman fortress led the way. The materials for this fantasy were recycled from the historic Tudor Bury Castle which once graced the site. Among the other gems in the town which adorn the opulent “Cultural Centre” are the Derby Hall, Bury Art Museum and Library, the former Bury and Manchester Union Banks and the Renaissance Style Technical School in Broad Street. For the most part Bury was a typical Lancashire town of terrace houses, rows of shops, tearooms, local pubs and “chippies” gathered around giant cotton and paper mills.
