    JOURNAL OF THE ENGLISH PLACE-NAME SOCIETY Volume 44 (2012) ISSN 1351–3095 ______________________________________________________________ The riddle of Salthrop Ann Cole (pp. 33–35) ______________________________________________________________ This article is from the Journal of the English Place-Name Society, an annual peer-reviewed journal issued free to members of the Society. The Journal welcomes contributions of articles and notes on subjects of relevance to English place-names. The English Place-Name Society (EPNS) was established in 1923 to conduct a county-by-county survey of the place-names of England. To date, the Survey has produced 90 volumes. Almost all English counties have been surveyed, at least in part, and work to complete the Survey is ongoing. The Survey is used by researchers, academics, and those interested in the origins, meaning, and significance of English place-names. The research work and the publication of the Survey are financed by the annual subscriptions of members of the Society, with the help of grants from the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the British Academy. Since the progress and success of the Survey depend largely upon the strength of the membership, the Society always welcomes new members, both personal and institutional. In return for the annual subscription, members receive free of charge the current issue of the Journal as well as the volume of the Survey allocated to that year’s subscription. They are entitled to order, in addition, any available volume of the Survey at a concessionary price. Associate Members pay a reduced subscription, for which they receive the Journal. Annual subscription prices (correct as of April 2017): Within the UK Outside the UK £40 (full) £45 (full)* £15 (associate) £18 (associate* *increased prices reflect increased postage cost.

  • Malmesbury, Wiltshire: Archaeology and History (Notes for Visitors, Prepared by the Royal Archaeological Institute, 2017) Malmes
    Malmesbury, Wiltshire: archaeology and history (notes for visitors, prepared by the Royal Archaeological Institute, 2017) Malmesbury is in the small part of Wiltshire that is in the Cotswolds and therefore is on oolitic limestone that provides excellent building stone (see also Bradford-on-Avon on-line entry). The town is sited on a natural peninsula, above where streams meet to form the second of the two rivers called Avon that flow through the county (plan from Haslam 1976, 82). Despite its height, it does not lack springs, so can easily be used for settlement. A medieval tradition that it had long been an ancient fortress was justified recently when excavations on the east side defences showed definitively that, like Chisbury (see on-line entry), it had been an early Iron Age hill-fort, using the natural topography and strengthened with ramparts (Longman 2006; Collard and Havard 2011). Sites in the vicinity suggest that the hill-top could have remained a focus into the Roman period, although the Bath-Cirencester Fosse Way runs to the west and attracted settlements; an important Roman site lies to the north at Brokenborough, and to the west is a seventh-/eighth-century Anglo-Saxon complex that has only been partly excavated. Malmesbury became the site of an important monastery in the later seventh century, and in the late ninth was one of Wiltshire’s four ‘burhs’. It was probably then that the Iron Age wall was overlain by a Saxon limestone rubble wall on an earth bank, with an intra-mural lane inside and a ditch outside.

  • A Study of the English Parchment Industry Between 1650 and 1850
    A Study of the English Parchment Industry between 1650 and 1850 Stuart Henderson MA by Research University of York Archaeology October 2018 1 Abstract This project will examine, in detail, the English parchment industry between 1650 and 1850, locating the main centres of production, reconstructing the process of parchment manufacturing both locally and nationally, as well as assessing whether it is possible to conclude the origins of the materials used in its manufacture. The results of this project should prove vital in providing context to the results of a number of post-medieval hDNA studies on parchment as well as providing historical data on a previously unstudied industry in history. 2 Contents: Abstract 2 Contents: 3 List of Tables: 6 List of Figures: 7 Acknowledgements 8 Declaration 9 Chapter 1: Introduction 10 1.1 Aims 10 1.2 The Research Question 12 1.3 Objectives 12 1.4 Chaîne Opératoire 15 Chapter 2: Literature Review 16 2.1 Primary Sources on the Parchment Industry between 1650 and 1850 16 2.2 Modern Literature on the Parchment Industry 18 2.3 New Areas of Research 22 Chapter 3: Overview of the Industry 24 3.1 Uses for Parchment 24 3.2 Who was Selling the Skins? 24 3.3 How was Parchment Manufactured? 28 3.4 The Socio-Economic Position of the Parchment-Maker 31 3.5 Effects of the Growing Paper Industry 33 3.6 The Price of Parchment 35 3.6.1 J.E.T.
