EAST SHROPSHIRE CHURCH TRAIL I SPY SHEET (1 of 2) Tick the Boxes on the Left As You Find Them!
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.

Like so many, I arrived to help on that night. Now, unexpectedly, I find myself still here, helping to plan the salvage operation. It was a grim experience for so many of us to have to stand by and watch the destruc- tion of Clandon Park, at once a home, an architectural masterpiece, a repository of so many remarkable artefacts, and an extraordinary workplace. The rapaciousness of fire, its ability to consume so quickly and so completely the artistry and craft skills of centuries, is millar / john images nt terrifying, mesmerising and astounding.
