  • Lower and Middle Palaeolithic Leicestershire and Rutland: Progress and Potential by Anne Graf
    Leic.Arch. Sept 2002 11/10/02 7:54 AM Page 1 Lower and Middle Palaeolithic Leicestershire and Rutland: progress and potential by Anne Graf Drawing on archaeological and geological research, recent finds, museum collections and borehole evidence, this paper describes the changing local landscape and environment round the Cromerian-period Bytham river valley, possibly the major early entry route to Britain from Europe; the succeeding pro-glacial Lake Harrison and present-day post-glacial rivers; and highlights deposits with Palaeolithic archaeological potential. Palaeolithic tools of quartzite, comparable with other Midlands raw materials, and of andesitic and Charnian tuff may suggest occupation from around 600,000 BC, while flint tools suggest at least intermittent post-Anglian occupation, followed by probable abandonment from after 160,000 BC until possible Devensian re-occupation by Neanderthalers post- 60,000 BC. Introduction The last twenty years have seen very exciting results for the Palaeolithic period in Leicestershire and Rutland. This paper discusses these results, which are placed in the contexts both of the local landscape changes, and of the growing national understanding of key Palaeolithic issues. The paper aims to provide a summary of current knowledge of the Lower and Middle Palaeolithic occupants and their environments and landscapes in these two counties, and to highlight potential for further investigation. The local, and many national, sites, to which references can be found in the bibliography, are presented in the timechart in illus. 1, with their relative positions within current archaeological and geological divisions and phases. Throughout the timechart and the rest of this paper ‘thousand [years] ago’ will be abbreviated to ‘ka’, while the oxygen isotope stages now used for international date correlations (see below) will also be abbreviated, so that, for example, OIS-16 indicates oxygen isotope stage 16.

    NEWS RELEASE FOURTH STREET AT CONSTITUTION AVENUE NW WASHINGTON DC 20565 . 737-4215/842-6353 EXHBITION FACT SHEET Title; THE TREASURE HOUSES OF BRITAIN: FIVE HUNDRED YEARS OF PRIVATE PATRONAGE AND ART COLLECTING Patrons: Their Royal Highnesses The Prince and Princess of Wales Dates; November 3, 1985 through March 16, 1986, exactly one week later than previously announced. (This exhibition will not travel. Loans from houses open to view are expected to remain in place until the late summer of 1985 and to be returned before many of the houses open for their visitors in the spring of 1986.) Credits; This exhibition is made possible by a generous grant from the Ford Motor Company. The exhibition was organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, in collaboration v\n.th the British Council and is supported by indemnities from Her Majesty's Treasury and the U.S. Federal Council on the Arts and Humanities. Further British assistance was supplied by the National Trust and the Historic Houses Association. History of the exhibition; The suggestion that the National Gallery of Art consider holding a major exhibition devoted to British art was made by the British Council in 1979. J. Carter Brown, Director of the National Gallery, responded with the idea of an exhibition on the British Country House as a "vessel of civilization," bringing together works of art illustrating the extraordinary achievement of collecting and patronage throughout Britain over the past five hundred years. As this concept carried with it the additional, contemporary advantage of stimulating greater interest in and support of those houses open to public viewing, it was enthusiastically endorsed by the late Lord Howard of Henderskelfe, then-Chairman of the Historic Houses Association, Julian Andrews, Director of the Fine Arts Department of the British Council, and Lord Gibson, Chairman of the National Trust.

  • Hertfordshire Gardens Trust
    HERTFORDSHIRE GARDENS TRUST SPRING NEWSLETTER 2016 THE ‘CAPABILITY’ BROWN FESTIVAL EDITION 1 From the Chairman: CB300 is finally here. This special newsletter represents the spread and depth of erudition that we are lucky to have amongst our members and it is a captivating picture of Hertfordshire’s landscapes. Once we have read about them the special HGT CB300 committee have mapped out some wonderful walks which allow us to experience these landscapes first hand. Then a series of enticing events throughout the year let us explore key places in more depth. I know you will all find something to enjoy and I want to congratulate those who have contributed and worked so hard to put this together. It is a collaboration of so many, including those who have read pages of type, trudged the footpaths on cold wet days, spent hours bent over maps and books, and owners who have generously let us research and explore. They have shown us all it is an anniversary really worth celebrating. Thank you so much.

  • Memories of Colfe's the War and Evacuation
    COLFE'S SCHOOL MEMORIES OF COLFE'S THE WAR AND EVACUATION WRITTEN BY COLFEIANS Revised edition 2006 COLIN H TAYLOR (1939-1947) Only once do I remember going to the 'School on the Hill' and that was some years after my school days. I started at Colfe's in September 1939 when I joined a friend at his 'billet' in Southwood Avenue, only a few yards from 'Skinners'. He stayed for about a year. I remained until moving with Colfe's to Frome in 1944. I was one of the lucky ones. The Burtons with whom I was billeted treated me like the son they never had - probably better. H e was a Director of Strange Electrical on Mount Pleasant and a great gardener (I've rewired several houses over the years and I still grow my own fruit & veg). She had been Head Housekeeper at the Metropole Hotel in Brighton and was a wonderful cook. Moreover she had a brother who owned the family pub on Dartmoor: every few weeks throughout the war a pair of rabbits (or the like) would arrive by post (within 24 hours of posting), their back legs tied together and a label round a neck. At a time of rationing and shortage a commentary on the honesty of the times. What with the home-grown fruit and vegetables we really lived well! In the September and October of 1939 we did no actual schooling. We met each morning on the Common, near Wellington Rocks, and played games until lunchtime: that was it for the day! In later days we got down to work but how we covered the syllabus I do not know because we spent so much time going between the classrooms spread around the town.

  • The Impact of Agricultural Depression and Land
    THE IMPACT OF AGRICULTURAL DEPRESSION AND LAND OWNERSHIP CHANGE ON THE COUNTY OF HERTFORDSHIRE, c.1870-1914 Julie Patricia Moore Submitted to the University of Hertfordshire in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of PhD September 2010 2 ABSTRACT The focus of this research has been on how the county of Hertfordshire negotiated the economic, social and political changes of the late nineteenth century. A rural county sitting within just twenty miles of the nation’s capital, Hertfordshire experienced agricultural depression and a falling rural population, whilst at the same time seeing the arrival of growing numbers of wealthy, professional people whose economic focus was on London but who sought their own little patch of the rural experience. The question of just what constituted that rural experience was played out in the local newspapers and these give a valuable insight into how the farmers of the county sought to establish their own claim to be at the heart of the rural, in the face of an alternative interpretation which was grounded in urban assumptions of the social value of the countryside as the stable heart of the nation. The widening of the franchise, increased levels of food imports and fears over the depopulation of the villages reduced the influence of farmers in directing the debate over the future of the countryside. This study is unusual in that it builds a comprehensive picture of how agricultural depression was experienced in one farming community, before considering how farmers’ attempts to claim ownership of the ‘special’ place of the rural were unsuccessful economically, socially and politically.

Introduction 1.1 The aim of this Topic Paper is to assess the potential of a number of areas to identify whether they should be designated as a green wedge. The Topic Paper will inform the preparation of the Site Allocations and Development Management Policies Development Plan Document (DPD). 1.2 The areas to be investigated have been identified through the site allocations process.
