AD 400-1250) By Amanda Louise Grieve This thesis aims to explore the human-dog relationship in early medieval England and Ireland (c. AD 400-1250) and so develop an improved understanding of how people perceived and utilised their dogs. In 1974, Ralph Harcourt published a seminal paper reviewing the metrical data for archaeological dog remains excavated from British antiquity. Nearly forty years on, many more dog bones have been excavated and recorded.

  • `The Landscape' – North Wootton, South Wootton and Castle Rising
    1 `The Landscape’ – North Wootton, South Wootton and Castle Rising The Context North Wootton, South Wootton and Castle Rising occupy a substantial portion of the area of modest, but in the context of Norfolk quite prominent, upland, defined by the lower courses of the Babingley and Gaywood Rivers. Parts of King’s Lynn (the ‘absorbed’ parish of Gaywood), Roydon and Hillington extend into this upland area. Parish boundaries have been modified from time to time. For example South Wootton acquired a small strip of Roydon parish when the A149 bypass was constructed. More significantly both South and North Wootton were expanded when the outflow of the River Great Ouse was diverted by the ‘Estuary Cut’ in the mid nineteenth century. The eastern limit of the area is further defined by the ‘lowland mire’ of Roydon Common. There is clearly contrast between the landscape of the substantially sub-urbanised, but still distinctive parish of South Wootton, and that of the essentially rural village of Castle Rising. Here modern development has been limited to three small estates. The character of North Wootton, also with considerable estate development, has more in common with South Wootton than it does with Castle Rising. However, both Woottons retain significant areas of agrarian landscape as yet unaffected by the amorphous and undistinguished sprawl that largely defines Gaywood. One part of South Wootton’s present southern boundary abuts Reffley Wood, or rather a large disused clay pit on its edge. The habitat of this area of semi-natural yet still, in part, ancient woodland would be particularly under threat of engulfment from any further development on or close to its boundaries.

  • Register of Lords' Interests Session 2010-12
    HOUSE OF LORDS SESSION 2010-11 REGISTER OF LORDS’ FINANCIAL AND OTHER INTERESTS AS AT 18 JUNE 2010 Ordered to be printed 25 May 2010 PUBLISHED BY AUTHORITY OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS LONDON — THE STATIONERY OFFICE LIMITED HL Paper 3 (session 2010-11) £21.50 FOREWORD By the Registrar of Lords’ Interests The Code of Conduct adopted by the House on 30 November 2009 established a new Register of Lords’ Interests. The application of the Code is explained in the Guide to the Code adopted by the House on 30 March 2010. The Guide sets out that the purpose of the Register is “to assist in openness and accountability by enabling Members to make clear what are the interests that might be thought by a reasonable Member of the public to influence their actions, speeches or votes in Parliament, or actions taken in their capacity as Members of the House of Lords” and established the ten categories of registerable interest. Publication and up-dating This Register is printed and published in book form soon after the beginning of a new Parliament, and annually thereafter. The Code says that “Members are responsible for ensuring that their registered interests are accurate and up-to-date. They should register any change in their relevant interests within one month of the change.” The Register in book form thus quickly goes out of date, so the Register is updated daily when the House is sitting, and is published online at www.parliament.uk. This up-to-date online edition of the Register is also available in loose-leaf form for inspection by Members at the Table of the House, in the Table Office, and in the Library; and by the public in the Search Room of the Parliamentary Archives.
