Any author who may be seduced by delusions of grandeur at this stage should recall the words of the slave whispering in the ear of the successful general during the Roman Triumph – ‘you are but mortal’. Similarly with a book. Though an author takes the credit as the one who puts it all together, he is only as good as the numerous people who have offered help and support during the long hours of its compilation. It is appropriate that these individuals should be thanked and share in the pride rightly felt on the comple- tion of a major undertaking such as this.

  • THE BUILDING of a NEW CHURCH DEDICATED to SAINT JULIAN in 1682 Eugene F
    THE BUILDING OF A NEW CHURCH DEDICATED TO SAINT JULIAN IN 1682 Eugene F. Montanaro When Achille Ferres wrote his Descrizione Storica Delle Chiese Di Malta E Gozo (1866), he recorded of the village of Saint Julians, somewhat summarily: La sua primitiva chiesuola e antichissima, fabbricata verso if 1580. Essa pero venne riedificata nel1682 .1 Though quite remarkably accurate, Ferres' s account does not provide specific source notes, and cannot therefore be regarded as authoritative. In this short study I shall attempt to place on record for the first time, archival material concerning the building of a new church at Saint Julians in 1682. The relevant documentation tends to confirm Achille Ferres's unequivocal assertion that this new church was in fact built on the site of a humble chapel. THE SUPPLICA The licence (called a faculty) to demolish the existing chapel dedicated to St. Julian and to rebuild a larger church, was obtained from the competent ecclesiastical authorities on 2 March 1682. The necessary permit was granted in answer to a supplica, or petition, submitted to the Bishop of Malta by Don Mario Haxixa and Domenico Gat, procuratori della Ven. Chiesa sotto titolo diS. Giuliano, posta nei limiti della Chiesa Parochiale e Collegiata di Birchircara.2 The petition, though perhaps laconic in style and content, is nonetheless revealing and, to a certain extent, anecdotal. The special aim of the petitioners Haxixa and Gat was the consolidation of the ever increasing veneration which the faithful in these islands were manifesting towards the existing chapel dedicated to St. Julian: per maggior culto divino et augmento della devotione che tiene verso detta Chiesa if popolo di questa Isola di ABBREVIATIONS A A M Archiepiscopal Archives, Malta.

  • The Archaeology of the Abbeys and Priories of Leicestershire Pp.1-21
    The Archaeology of the Abbeys and Priories of Leicestershire by Peter Liddle with Lorna O'Brien The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the present state of knowledge of the archaeology of the greater religious houses of Medieval Leicestershire. Secular colleges, hospitals, the military orders, friaries and alien cells are not included. Neither is the impact of the sites on the landscape through their creation of granges etc. covered (for this, see Courtney 1981). The documentary background is only covered in outline. For a fuller account see R A McKinley's article in the Victoria County History of Leicestershire (McKinley 1954). The earliest known monastic house was founded at Breedon in c.675AD within the ramparts of the Iron Age hill fort (Dornier 1977). Nothing is known of its buildings except for the magnificent carvings built into the later church. It seems certain that there were other similar communities at this time. Bringhurst seems likely, while sites producing a range of Middle/Late Anglo-Saxon objects at, for instance, Wymeswold and Melton Mowbray may well prove to be monastic (Liddle, forthcoming).

  • Flanagan's Running Club – Issue 31
    Flanagan's Running Club – Issue 31 Introduction The first rule of Flanagan's Running Club is everyone should be telling everyone they know about Flanagan's Running Club! After all, sharing is caring. Details of how to sign up is in the epilogue. There is no need to panic, there is no actual running involved, it is not a running club in that sense. The title is made up from extending the title of my favourite book – Flanagan’s Run by Tom McNab. So enjoy the read. On This Day – 10th February 1870 - The YWCA is founded in New York City. 1940 - Tom and Jerry make their debut with Puss Gets the Boot. 1996 - IBM supercomputer Deep Blue defeats Garry Kasparov in chess for the first time. It’s Feast of St. Paul's Shipwreck (Malta) Fenkil Day (Eritrea) 365 Reasons To Be Proud To Be A Londoner - Magical Moments in London's History What is the bestselling novel ever, in any language? Thankfully it’s not 50 Shades, but A Tale of Two Cities, by Charles Dickens (200 million copies sold). Dickens created some of the most memorable characters in literary history, including Oliver Twist, Ebenezer Scrooge, Mr Micawber, Miss Havisham and Uriah Heep. ‘Dickensian London’ has entered our imagination as a real place – not that you’d like to go there. And it was today in 1836 that Dickens’ first novel, The Pickwick Papers, was commissioned as a monthly serial. It was an immediate success, bringing the twenty-four-year-old writer instant fame.

Pidgeon Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 15 December 2011 ii iii ABSTRACT Who were the Wydeviles? The family arrived with the Conqueror in 1066. As followers in the Conqueror’s army the Wydeviles rose through service with the Mowbray family. If we accept the definition given by Crouch and Turner for a brief period of time the Wydeviles qualified as barons in the twelfth century. This position was not maintained. By the thirteenth century the family had split into two distinct branches. The senior line settled in Yorkshire while the junior branch settled in Northamptonshire. The junior branch of the family gradually rose to prominence in the county through service as escheator, sheriff and knight of the shire.

The right of Ron Catterall to be identified as author of this work has been asserted by him in accordance with the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. Ron Catterall 1 Robin Hood 1. Introduction Lythe and listin, gentilmen, That be of frebore blode; I shall you tel of a gode yeman, His name was Robyn Hode. —Anonymous, ca.1350, A Gest of Robyn Hode 1-4 It would be very difficult, if not impossible, to find a member of the large Cotterell family who had never heard of Robin Hood, but how many Cotterells are aware that the activities of the Coterel Gang in Sherwood Forest in the early fourteenth century may well have been the original from which the Robin Hood legend derived. I think we all must have absorbed in childhood the links between Robin Hood, the Sheriff of Nottingham and Sherwood Forest, but attempts to identify Robin with a known historical character have never been generally accepted. The traditional picture comes from the work of Anthony Munday, a contemporary of William Shakespeare, in the period 1598-1601. The titles of his work contain almost all the elements of the Robin Hood we know today: “The Downfall of Robert, Earle of Huntington, Afterward called Robin Hood of merrie Sherwodde: with his love to chaste Matilda, the Lord Fitzwaters Daughter, afterwarde his faire Maide Marian” and “The Death of Robert, Earle of Huntington. Otherwise called Robin Hood of merrie Sherwodde: with the lamentable Tragedie of chaste Matilda, his faire maid Marian, poysoned at Dunmowe by King John”.
