(Looks like someone took against Mary whose name has been chiseled out twice, possibly because she remarried - it is not clear who to )

Simon inherited his father’s property in Rutland in 1533, the rest of the estates passing to his nephew John Digby. He had followed his father into the royal household, rising from esquire of the body to gentleman pensioner before his retirement at Mary Tudor’s accession. He was returned to the Parliament of 1542 with John Harington shortly after he had been escheator and his friend Harington sheriff, doubtless owing the seat to Kenelm Digby, head of the senior line of the family, who was sheriff at the election.

Following the Dissolution in 1544 Digby fought in the French campaign which led to the capture of Boulogne. Queen Mary gave him an annuity of £46 13s.4d. and later named him to the bench. Little more is know apart from his sheep-rearing and disputes with neighbours. By his will made in October 1559 he asked to be buried in the church at North Luffenham ‘above the steps near my seat’, He provided for his children and named his son Roger executor and his ‘cousins’ Kenelm Digby and John Hunt supervisors. He died on 14 May 1560

I ACKNOWLEDGE the "rebel" alliance of WAR CRIME. Make the decision to shoot down the Super Star Destroyer "the Ravager", while its admiralty had Surrendered, the disarmament codes had been transmitted to the Rebel Admiral ship, a deluge of fire fell on this imperial building causing the death of 48,523 prisoners of war, de facto. The Allaince Rebelle, who was not at his first attempt at war crimes, tried to put a veil on this affair but all ended up knowing. We can never forget or forgive this so-called Rebel Alliance until the criminals who made the decision to take down the Ravager are brought to justice. The victors write history in propaganda books with the tears of the widows of the vanquished soldiers as ink. More than 48,000 dead, more than 48,000 families have lost one of their own, sometimes even complete siblings decimated. It is out of the question to pass the towel. He who reigns through lies ends up deceiving; he who lives in terror dies in fear.

My Sister,

You know you have been a real horrible sister...how do you sleep? You say she is at peace...I say She cannot be! You didn't do what she wanted! Period. That is the long and the short of it, Shirley Deane. How could you keep this fight of ours alive...this division of her children. Her last wish was for Unity sister...but you're stubborn and cannot admit when you are wrong. She was that way too. You used to understand the problem with that kind of thinking...but you want her bad traits to be your as well? She made me EQUAL to you and Patrick.

I will bitch, and moan, and from the top of the world until I die- Expose you! You owe me an apology and you owe me 12.5% of My Mother's Estate, photos, dolls, jewelry and the rest of what I did not even get to look at ever again. I will tell everyone The Truth...you remember the Truth Shirley? Remember promising your little sister to love her and grow old with her...Viola's Jewelry, all the promises are broken like Our Sisterhood. You walked in her apt and said to me" What the fuck are you doing here...LEAVE!"and of course "we" know the rest of it...don't we Shirley, and Mother! You let that and mom's decision change everything between us...WHY? I know who I am, what I am. You wanna go back and throw my past in my face...write it down?

I am going write a book...Yet you put others down all the time...if half of our relatives knew what you were saying about them behind their backs...for shame sister. I am ashamed of you.

Sometimes I wanna beat your ass - other times I want to just hold you in my arms. What you said and did in front of Mom was unforgivable Shirley...the things you have done since...despicable. I want my share, my Inheritance. I have your Bible, Joe handed it to me, if you had not run him off, Shari and anyone else you felt like taking away from her- you would have it now...he was mink oiling it for her, and never got to give it back-because of YOU! Momma loved her Shirley...for whatever reasons she loved a lot of other people as well.

You were her favorite...we all knew that. Kevin was too. Sure he hurt her...but that was her favorite son, I've heard her tell him that many times. You cannot rewrite her history, her will her children. You have disgraced us All Shirley- The Cavender Siblings..we look so dysfunctional and you relish in it!. So many know what you really have done to me...and NO ONE agrees - except your own subjects and most disagree/but cannot tell you for fear of your wrath. You can follow web-sites tell you die, I will never stop until this is made right!. You can read my story...I am publishing it, I have a contract with Random. Now you have the power to Unite Sylvia's family...you have the Power to forgive whatever the hell it is you think I did to YOU! I did nothing, I took up for you, when

Momma told me she was changing Executor's, she was scared you would sell her house, that is what you had been telling her. You did this...by being mean to her, trying to get her to leave Yates Center...that is why she called me...we both fell right in and then you went crazy! How come none of you knew?

Kevin was there 3 years...yet no one cared about him living with her, caring for her. They enabled each other at that time. Of course she was dying...she had been for years and years...she had a disease and you all acted like it just could not be, What? No way...yeah, a here is a NewsFlash Shirley..We are Next!

What you did to me at her Funeral, Grandmother's Funeral as well...is now History. You have been so mean, so unloving to me. You do not deserve me as your sister Shirley. I am very different than you. I love unconditionally, I give my heart and it stays where I left it Forever. You have hurt me more that anyone in the world! I cannot stress to you more...This whole thing since I called from her hospital room has been the worst time in my life! You have taken from me not only my birthright and my Inheritance...you try to take my Mother...but My mother loved me...whether you like it or not Shirley...God is going to ask you one day...what you have done to your sister...? I fear you will pay dearly for this choice you have made! I pray you fix this...before YOU pass...please for your own Soul's Sake! There was/is enough to share...she wrote what she wanted, she signed it in front of YOU on your birthday! How do you explain all the lies now? We never tried to take Daddy's $$, Bruce Harrington told me about the Topeka trip! Despicable! My treatment at my mother's Funeral, horrifying, the letter, the obituary's all of them hers and Daddy's...don't you realize everyone knows about your greed? My book will make it clear...wouldn't be great if it made me $$$ :) How you treated Mom...when Rocky died..you and Pat...you could have cared less that Momma was grieving, all you thought about was bad, and what he did to you! I defended you both and hoped you would come around and you did, hell you gave me an 1/8 of really good weed. Thanks:) I also was with her that entire time, Gale too. I tried to help her, I told you what she was going through you still were mean. The when it all became too real, that she was truly leaving us...you did what you do best-you struck out at me and you refuse to believe you can ever do wrong to Kelly...who the fuck does she think she is??? Who do you think I am Shirley? Do you know me...my heart? Who and how deep is My Love for My Family, For My one and Only Mother?

You are not too bright lately, have you had your head and heart looked at? Maybe you should see a Doctor? Want to go to Family Counseling Shirley, my Treat? I think we should or would you rather this fester to a stinking rotten time in hell?

Put yourself in my shoes, be me...think of what has gone on the last 6 years...be me...How would you feel about your big sister?

www.facebook.com/pages/Whos-Will-Family-Losses/1284834505...

Fix this Shirley, I love you...you will always be mine. We could get past all of this division. Mom could truly be at Peace...not just your wishful thinking( she is PISSED-She was of a sound mind-(her body no) but her mind sharp...give to me what she wanted me to have. I want my wedding rings and my star sapphire& platinum ring, I want Viola's Jewelry, my dolls, I want copies of photos, I want 12.5 % and I want Mike to give Tj his share -he is 18 and he wants it. I want my beautiful sister in my life but how can I ever trust this woman with love again? God is the only help we have sister. I want a family Reunion...to bad your half won't be there...Shirley WAKE UP...You are Killing ME! MY blood pressure is high, hurt for you, I beg you to stop this assault on me, Kevin, Joe( those two are so lost), the moment you do...everyone else will come together like she wanted1 You told her a Findagrave...she could be at Peace again. Shirley she is not...how can she be? The Will was not kept...and you took 3 of her babies away from her and her greats. How can She be at Peace? All because YOU love her...sorry dear sister...you are not an only child. She loved us all, you have no right to rewrite her history, kids or Will!

I pray that you read this and understand I am so hurt and angry. I try daily to not feel this pain, but it is a constant. Do you really hate me so much Shirley that you would slowly kill me like this? Please don't - Please love me as I love you. Please let's show this fucked-up world nothing can break Our Family again...that we are United and we do love each other...everyone wants Unity except you! I will forgive you Shirley...I promise I will. It has been so very hard losing her, you Clay, Shannon, Brandie, Brooke, Mikie, Bobbie, Jace......your momma died- well, my momma died and half my family died with her- because of YOU. Don't you miss Nicholl'e? She wishes she could invite you all to her Wedding next month. Don't you miss Victor...he has been so down, really hurt, I worry about him. I have four new Grans, one from Joe and 3 from Nic's David. everyone wants to see us together again like Mom wanted! This is so unfair to my kids- to me, to Kevin & Joe(she loved them)it is the worst Injustice of My Lifetime...and it comes straight from your hateful heart. What you have done is Civil fraud and I can and might file formal charges against you and Mikie, you sure sent and provided solid proof of my case...they want me to file...Bel Aire PD, advised me to and I already knew what my rights are.My IQ is very high! I could have sued in Probate Court, I thought about, got advice. I believe Mom would not have wanted me to do that...sue my sister and nephew, so I didn't. I believe she will try to move this mountain of pain if I keep praying and talking, sharing, publishing and in general....haunt your thoughts as you do mine- until you make this right! For me, for her, for the others you have ostracized. Please Shirley just get this over with. You and him have more that you will ever need, you have many blessings. I am poor, I could have really used that 12.5% share of my mother's will . Does that make me greedy? I have never been greedy and it is not about the property or $...it is about my birthright and my big sister's Vendetta. SAVE ME SHIRLEY...I AM DYING...LIKE A PLANT IN THE SUN WITH NO WATER...I PRAY FOR RAIN ! I know what losing mom was like for you, how much and how close you two always were, I would never say less. But Shirley I loved her and she loved me...had it not been for Joe...we probably would have had better times, but we made up, you know this...because you were there too. Where are you now? How can you just go in and out of people's life when they displease you? You do it to lots of us...think about it. Shirley, I was not put on this earth to please you...I am just a struggling human trying to make the most of love, life and my family. If it were not for Victor and Nicholl'e loving me...there would be no one here that does. I Thank God for that...and I pray for you and I to stop and realize we are losing precious time and we both love and want Momma at Peace. She can be...but you have to make good on her wishes, her will, her life, her children. I miss you so much Shirley, everyday I wish you were my sister again, I am sorry, I did not do whatever it is you think I did! I swear, I have always been on your side...until you choked me 4-6-2007 and began hating me again...God you were me down, you take my family, my joy, my future greats and it hurts so bad Shirley, I hope no one ever hurts you like you have done to me. I would not wish this injustice or pain on anyone! I want my sister back, I want Mom's will to be DONE...not Undone. Shirley you are not dumb...Do the right thing...Fix this PLEASE...I miss you guys, I miss Momma....I want to share her pictures...I HAVE HARDLY ANY! I have loved you much better then you have loved me...let's do this Shirley...it is in your hands to make the Cavender a whole United family...It is sooooo Broken right now. I do not deserve this and I fight back with renewed strength!You have broken me Shirley, I am a mess, I cry all the time, my heart breaks I swear I hear new cracks everyday I miss you. Every day my Mother is Not At Rest..We are Not United...She wants us UNITED SHIRLEY...don't you get it????????? Kelly Ann

After looking at countless creations of other poeple, I realised that snotting and greebling are the most important techniques to achieve great looks. I applied this rule to my old Executor design and now I'm quite happy with it.

“They swoop down from the sky, like golden bugs. Their Photon pistols de-materialize any matter earthly or otherwise. Their twin blades drip blood. The smell of the burning rocket fuel from their jetpacks fills the air. The armor shines in what little sunlight is left. They call themselves the will of the emporer: we call them demons.”

Just a little story. The idea is that these guys are post apocalyptic future warriors. They exterminate those who do not comply to the rules of “The emperor”. The above story was an exerpt from a rebellion soldier’s diary.

Welford was inherited by his second son William, who was to be his executor; and the residue, including the entailed Cold Ashby went to his heir Edward. The provisions of the will were scrupulously carried out, and his sons, two of whom were knighted, founded several more branches of the family in Leicestershire and Northamptonshire.

The King Memorial Fountain, also known as the Rufus H. King Fountain or the Moses Fountain, was installed at the southernwestern end of Washington Park in 1893. The fountain was erected in memory of Rufus H. King, former president of the Albany Savings Bank, the New York State National Bank, and the Albany Insurance Company, through the will of his son, Col. Henry L. King who left the sum of $10,000 for that purpose when he died in 1878. By the time the fountain was commissioned, the sum had gown to $30,000. The executors of the King's will named Daniel Chester French, Ephraim Keyser, Charles H. Niehaus, and J. Massey Rhind to create models on the theme of Moses Smiting the Rock. The models were placed on display for public approval before the fountain committee settled on Rhind's model.

The fountain features a bronze figure of Moses standing atop a file of rocks, his arms raised and a stick held in his proper right hand. Below him four allegorical bronze figures are installed amid the rocks. On his front proper right side, Youth is a young female figure holding a water jug. On his front proper left side, Manhood is a bearded young man with a sword. On his back proper left side, Old Age is a bearded elderly man with a staff. On his back proper right side, Childhood is a seated mother feeding her little girl who reclines in her lap while her little boy stands by her proper right side.

Washington Park, bound by Willett Street, Madison Avenue, State Street and Lake Avenue, was first opened to the public in 1871. The park was laid out by the engineering firm of Bogart, Culyer & Co., with R.H. Bingham, city surveyor, as chief engineer and superintendent. In 1873, Bingham was succeeded by his former assistant, William S. Egerton, who completed the design.

At the Battle of Tournay in 1513 he captured the French Standard being knighted by Henry Vlll and appointed Standard Bearer of England for life at a salary of £100 pa - He was also granted the Manor and estate of Ridley, a massive establishment transformed by a previous owner Sir William Stanley into "the finest gentleman's house of all Cheshire."

He kneels in the south chantry he built www.bunbury.org.uk/johnpapers/sirralpheg2frame.htm

"He thereby orders his body to be buried in the chapel of Bunbury and that 12 torches be borne by 12 men in black gowns the day of his burial and 24 tapers burning about his body the same day; and that his executors distribute £10 sterling not only to beggars but also to such poor men and women as they shall think convenient." He likewise ordered his executors "to furnish at his proper cost and charges the said chapel covered with lead, ceiled and drawn with knots gilded and the panels painted also two images either side of the altar within the Chapel and the Chancel."

His executors were to provide “one Chalice gilt and another double gilt, 3 suits of vestments, one for working days, another for Sundays and low holy-days and the other a good suit for solemn and high festival days; and that his green velvet gown lined with green sarsnet guarded with cloth of gold, as also his gown of velvet lined with black satin and perled with gold [gold buttons] as also his jacket of velvet perled with gold be taken for performance of the same; as also his jacket of cloth of silver and of blue russet velvet to make crosses and other ornaments to the said Chapel which he orders to have paved with square ashlar or tile or stone.” and to “erect a tomb for him with a large marble stone with his name and arms engraved thereon with this addition: 'The King's Standard Bearer and Treasurer to the Lady Princess,' as also a gilt plate fastened on the wall with his names and arms and additions aforesaid.” (His tomb stone has now gone www.flickr.com/photos/52219527@N00/7731738394/ )

Sir Ralph also willed that a house was to be built in Bunbury “for two chantry priests to pray for his soul, for his father's and mother's souls of his kind and all Christian Souls for ever.” It was to have

"2 chambers, 1 parlour, a buttery and a kitchen, and the said priests to be maintained out of his mills at Nantwich.”

Memorial with coat of arms on the north nave wall:

"Sacred to the memory of John Stuckey of Weston, esq , the only surviving issue of Robert Stuckey esq and Mary www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/TYr5kiS123 his excellent wife, the sole daughter and heiress of William Bartlett of Hole in this parish, gent , His superior talents, elegant accomplishments, and many estimable qualities, amply listed him for the most refined society; and his knowledge in the laws of this Country, highly qualified him for the very important duties of a magistrate, which he discharged with the greatest independence and integrity, and with consummate ability And though advanced years and their infirmities occasioned his retirement from the world, yet he preserved to the last, those active powers of mind and memory for which he had been so eminently conspicuous through life.

He died unmarried on the 26th day of January 1810 aged 91 years This monument was erected by Barnaby John Stuckey Bartlett, his relation and sole executor, in testimony of the most grateful and affectionate regard for his memory"

Arms. — Quarterly Stuckey and Bartlett.

Next on the wall is his funeral hatchment : www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/Gaiq293k3j

Despite the good words on his monument, the parish register says: "He died possessed of vast worldly property which, after he had long possessed without enjoying and without using, he was at length constrained to leave to others. Buried 3 February".

Possibly written at the behest of the vicar Rev Puddicombe with whom he did not get along, describing him in 1801 to his cousin Thomas Langdon as "Our Methodist raving, ranting preacher, Puddicombe, is become the most intolerable scoundrel that ever a parish was cursed with”

John lived at Weston House which he built - it was burnt to the ground during the tenure of Stuckey Bartlett, Esq., & was never been rebuilt jsbookreader.blogspot.com/2014/08/weston-house-ruined-dev... -

A map, entitled ‘Manor of Branscombe’, was drawn up by Messrs Bradley and Summers of Taunton in 1810, for Barnaby John Stuckey Bartlett and Vincent Stuckey who were the co-heirs of John Stuckey of Weston, Branscombe, who died that year aged 91, unmarried. Barnaby J. Bartlett (who then took the name & arms of Stuckey) was John Stuckey’s cousin. Vincent Stuckey was a partner in Stuckey’s Bank at Langport in Somerset, and probably his banker (if related, it was only distantly).

The map showed the leasehold and copyhold properties which John Stuckey had held from the Dean and Chapter of Exeter Cathedral, the Lords of the Manor. He also owned freehold property in Branscombe, which is marked as such but not mapped in detail because it was not, legally speaking, part of the manor.

By the time he died, John Stuckey was the chief landowner in Branscombe, and since he (with others) also held the lease of the lordship of the manor, he was in effect squire of the village.

He has left the bulk of his fortune, above 6000l. per annual, to his relative, B. Bartlett, esq. of the General Post-office, nephew to Mr. Palmer, of Bath. Mr. Stuckey has likewise left 3000l. per annum to Vincent Stuckey, esq. of the Treasury … Mr. Latouch and Mr. Stuckey, of Weston house, near Sidmouth, who died on the same day, are said to have possessed property to the amount of nearly a million sterling.

The farms and other holdings descended to the Langdons of Chard and to Vincent Stuckey’s sons, and (by purchase) to the Fords of Lower House, Branscombe, and others.

The map and apportionments eventually came into the possession of the Ford family, possibly with the deeds of farms rented from the Dean and Chapter of Exeter by John Ford, and possibly when John Ford’s grandson Henry bought the manor outright from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners in 1868. They were presented to the Devon Record Office by the Fords’ descendant Perry Tucker of Branscombe in 2011. www.branscombeproject.org.uk/page38.html )

Statement of other fuets affecting the administration of the Estate.

The testatrix up to the time of her marriage, had been an American citizen, residing in New York, but by reason of her marriage became a British subject and a resident of London, England. At the time of her death the larger part ofher estate was located in New York and elsewhere in the United States, and with reference to that property she provided for a separate administration by the executors now accounting herein and by them in their

capacities are trustees. The remaining property is under administration by the general executors and trustees under a grant of probate in England.

Death duties or taxes on all the property of the estate, including that in America, have been levied in England, the place of domicile of the testatrix, but these taxes have not been entirely collected owing to the fact that the payment would occasion a deficiency of assets under the control of the executors in England unless recourse were had to jewelry, personal belongings located in England, and the family residence in London. The duties so imposed are of three-fold character, denominated respectively Estate, Legacy and Settlement Estate Duties, and with regard to the property under the control and administration by the executors accounting herein the amount levied aggregated the sum of £71,700. All these duties are levied on rights ofsuccession enjoyed by the legatees under the will by the law of England. Nevertheless, the bulk of the estate of the testatrix is under the control of the executors appointed by this court, and is to remain under administration by them on distribution to them as trustees. The general executors who were appointed in England have ascertained that after using all available personal securities and cash under their control in paying the duties charged on both classes of property—viz., on the American estate and general estate—there will be a deficit of £20,000 or thereabouts, unless recourse be had to personal belongings, jewelry, pictures and heirlooms of the testatrix, which in large part were specifically bequeathed, the family residence in London, which is a leasehold and which is located at Number #5 Grosvenor Square, London and the contents of said residence.

Extracts from American Executors' Accounts 19

in England, Chancery Division, by the general executors against the Duke andDuchess of Manchester and their children and other persons interested in the estate, to determine a number of questions affecting the administration of the estate, and among them the question whether the general executors were liable to pay death duties in England on the American assets, a judgment was rendered to the effect that the death duties in England hereinabove referred to were properly payable by the general executors upon the entire estate, including the American assets. Such further proceedings Mere taken under that judgment that an order was made therein, dated February 20, 1912, charging such death duties upon the estate, and intimating that any sums of money sent by the American executors to England might be impounded for the payment ofsuch death duties as were charged by reason of succession under the will to the American assets, whatever the purpose of such payments or to whomever made.

The executors of the estate in England have urged that the American executors should remit to 21 them sufficient amounts of capital to supply such deficit and thereby avoid the necessity of a sale of the personal heirlooms and belongings, and the family residence in London, as there are ample assets under the control of the American executors.

An order was therefore made on the 28th day of March, 1912, in the said suit hereinbefore referred to by which it was directed that unless the American executors should remit to the general executors the sum of £20,000 within a certain time specified, the executors in England should proceed to a sale of the leasehold No. 5 Orosvenor Square. It has been urged that such payment would subserve the orderly administration of the estate and the in22 Extracts fromAmerican Executors' Accounts

terests of the family, and, besides, remove a reason for adverse action and litigation in impounding the income which the American executors remit to the family of the testatrix and annuitants in England.

The accounting executors have been of the opinion, should the court so order, that in the decree to be entered settling these accounts there should be some provision authorizing and directing the ac„„ counting executors to remit to Viscount Duncannon and Thomas Rawle, as general executors of the will ofthe testatrix, the sum of £20,000, or thereabouts, with which to pay such deficit of

In this building and its predecessor church Christians have worshipped for more than a thousand years. The original, probably timber, church is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, in which there are said to be 20 acres of land attached to it. It is not known when the present stone structure was begun. The oldest visible portion is the interior of the tower, the arch of which dates it as having been built about the year 1200 or a little later. The chancel may have been constructed at the same time. This early church must have consisted simply of nave and chancel, without aisles, and with a high-pitched roof without any clerestory, possibly thatched. The beautiful east window of Decorated or Flamboyant design seems to point to a building of an early date.

The enlarged size of the new church, together with its high elevation of roof, would seem to suggest an increase in population and in wealth in the lower end of the valley of the Stour, for a south aisle was clearly felt necessary in the 15th century, though the old tower was left unaltered.

The known story of the building of the new parts of the church - expanding outwards from the simplicity of the nave and chancel - begins in 1455 when the will of William Clerke senior, presumably the father of the John Clerk who came to live in the Gables opposite, gave half a mark (6s 8d) towards the church building. Three years later the will of William the younger says, 'I give to an Ele (aisle) in the church of Stratford 10 marks, and if they make none ele I give to the same church but 20s'. This dates the construction of the south aisle, and a little later mention is made in the Court Rolls of a gift of 'fabriciae' (possibly ironwork), which shows that the work was proceeding.

But the major construction was done by 2 members of the Mors family, whose benefactions are recorded in the inscription along the exterior base of the north aisle wall. Thomas and Margaret Mors completed the building of the western portion of the north aisle (up to where the vestry curtain now hangs) shortly before Thomas died in 1500. In his will he instructs his executors to dispose of the residue of his goods 'in bilding the body of the church of Stratford, as in makying of the clearstory with windos and glasing convenient to the same with ledyng according to that I have showed my mind therein'. Margaret's will, dated 1510, leaves directions that she is to be buried 'in the North Yle by my husband'. She also bequeaths a certain sum for the building of a porch.

Thomas' son Edward was one of the executors responsible for seeing that this was done and, as the most easterly inscription on the exterior aisle wall implies, Edward and Alice his wife (daughter of a wealthy cloth merchant in Stratford) completed what Thomas and Margaret had begun by extending the north aisle to create the space now used as a vestry. In 1526 Edward directs his executors to 'make up the North Yle in form and manner as the other Yle is on the south side'. Edward's work was begun in 1530 and completed in 1531. The dividing line between the work of Edward's masons and those of his father is clearly shown in the flints of the facing of the wall - those of the western and earlier section are considerably larger and coarser in their finish.

The porch is the least ancient addition to the building in this period and, although Margaret Mors left 10s for the purpose in 1510, John Smith (another clothier and either father or grandfather to the John Smith whose memorial brass is in the central aisle) actually built it in 1532, as his initials and the date on the exterior show. Over the entrance of the porch is a niche which must once have held a statue of the Virgin Mary, but it is now empty.

As the main London road passed the church until 1935, no doubt Thomas and Margaret Mors caused the ABC to be placed on the wall where travellers could not fail to see it, because it was at that time recognised as a reminder to those who had their hands full, both that they were in need of praying and of the means of doing so.

The buttresses display some rather elaborate work and on them, as on the parapet, the initials of the founders recur frequently, together with the merchants' mark and 1531, the year in which the aisle was completed.

It is highly probable that Thomas and Margaret, Edward and Alice Mors were all buried in the floor of the north aisle, as their wills demanded, and the ledgers from which the brasses have been removed must be theirs. A very old deed conveying a part of Stour Meadow to 'Anthony Morse and others shows that the Mors family was still represented in Stratford in 1585.

The Richard-Strauss-Brunnen fountain in the Altstadt district of Munich, Germany. This fountain, the work of Hans Wimmer, was named after the composer, (a native of Munich...) and erected in 1962. Taken by a Nikon D610 at ISO 400 with a Nikkor 50mm ƒ 1.4 AF-D lens.

The scenes flowing around the column are from the opera Salome, composed by R. Strauss in 1905, to his own libretto. (For the non-musically inclined, it is quite unusual for a composer to write the libretto of his operas - it is usually handled by another person. For American Musicals, think of the "book" - usually not written by the music composer. "Libretto" is the Italian for "little book".)

Another Norway Terrorist exposed "Francine Smith" claimed responsibility for Oslo Bombing

Our reliable sources told Francine Smith is a Norwegian right-wing extremist who confessed executor of the 2011 Norway attacks on 22 July 2011, the bombing of government buildings in Oslo that resulted in eight deaths, and the mass shooting at a camp of the Workers’ Youth League (AUF) of the Labour Party on the island of Utøya where he killed 69 people, mostly teenagers. In fact the killers’ thoughts have exposed the speedy increasing influence of Hinduism and Judaism in Christianity society.

Nonetheless, it is evident that the killer was heavily influenced by the thoughts of Hindu extremists and Judaism. The horrific incident in Norway and violent ideas of Francine Smith are thought provoking for the Christians and Muslims communities of India, Middle East and America.

I collect some metrial that person "Francine Smith" claimed that he wrote several emails and also used Face book to reach out to people in India. It is possible that he sent his manifesto to the addresses he farmed ahead of the massacre.

This post follows up the series of eight photos titled "Mimi and Sweet Pea are Homeless".

On Aug. 15, 2021, my wife and I walked by a man leaning on the porch railing of the house where feral felines Mimi (joewilcox.com/2018/05/18/the-cats-of-university-heights-c...) and Sweet Pea (joewilcox.com/2018/05/21/the-cats-of-university-heights-g...) lived for about eight years in the spacious backyard, which was deforested days earlier.

I asked the gentleman about clearcutting the property, which he confirmed started on Aug. 10, 2021. The action was taken at the behest of the broker, who believes there is a 98-percent chance an investor will buy the place, rather than a resident; removing the lush greenery and trees emphasizes the lot’s large size for the neighborhood and increases likelihood of higher bidding during the September 11 auction.

As executor, he represents 17 heirs and a somewhat tricky situation. His 89-year-old uncle lived in the house before passing away late last year. But the elder gent was not the homeowner. The executor’s grandparents bought the property in 1916 (public records show building date of 1913), and title transferred to his grandmother when her husband died. But when she passed, in 1978, the property was never probated. His uncle lived in the house, but the deed had his mother’s name on it. Forty-three years later, the process finally commences.

By following the broker’s suggestion to hire a restoration company, which will be paid by the estate, the nephew reduces some of the probate burden left by his uncle; by the way, he remained active American Legion, driving around other members, even at advanced age. The involved parties made the decision to clearcut out of expediency and, again, with the presumption that the property will be redeveloped.

For the mother and daughter Maine Coons, destruction of their long-time habit must be devastating. They join the city’s homeless, in a strange way. Yes, they are feral, but another neighbor fed them and took them to the vet when necessary. Listening to the nephew proudly share about his uncle’s generosity, I understand how the elder gent let the strays stay and another resident come by and tend to them.

I captured this portrait, of both cats together, on April 5, 2019. The lush greenery is gone—as are Mimi and Sweet Pea, hopefully to somewhere safe and survivable.

The A-Wing is the fastest Starfighter in Starwars (in the time it was used anyway)

In Return of The Jedi you saw an Green Leader's A-Wing crash into the bridge of the Executor (AKA the Super Star Destroyer), which caused it to lose control, and crash into the second Death Star, both destroying the Executor and causing massive damage to the Death Star.

On this LEGO model I tried my best to get the shape as close to the original as possible. When i was finished I noticed that there was a small gap in the front of the nose, which i haven't included, so this meant i had to redesign the entire red part of the nose to get it right.

I'm really happy with this model, I feel I really nailed the shape of the A-Wing. :-)

I hope you guys like it!

A Ermida de São Brás, situada extra-muros no Rossio de São Brás, foi mandada construir por D. João II, no local onde já existiria uma pequena gafaria provisória em madeira, erguida para tratar dos doentes afectados pela peste que assolou o país em 1479-80. O povo de Évora, o rei e o bispo executor da obra, D. Garcia de Meneses, mostravam assim a sua devoção por São Brás, a quem se rezava habitualmente aquando de uma epidemia. A obra, cuja licença eclesiástica data de 7 de Setembro de 1480, terá começado em 1482, e a ermida já estava aberta ao culto em 1490 (ESPANCA, Túlio, 1966). O monumento, projectado por mestre desconhecido, é particularmente inovador na utilização de um estilo manuelino-mudéjar tipicamente alentejano, com sucessão de volumes escalonados, robustos e coroados por merlões, e inaugura na cidade a utilização, depois largamente divulgada em monumentos de todo o Alentejo, de elementos arquitectónicos como os contrafortes cilíndricos com coruchéus cónicos (PEREZ EMBID, Florentino, 1955, p.134). Juntamente com as igrejas dos Lóios e S. Francisco, este templo marca a introdução do tardo-gótico em Évora. Erguida sobre uma plataforma destinada a vencer um desnível do terreno, a ermida tem fachada principal com nártex aberto em três grandes arcos ogivais apoiados em meias colunas de alvenaria com capitéis vegetalistas, enquadrados por poderosos torreões cilíndricos ameiados. Neste pórtico terá existido uma decoração mural com as armas e o pelicano de D. João II, possivelmente perdida nas obras suecssivas que o templo sofreu (ESPANCA, Túlio, 1966). O corpo da igreja, todo caiado, possui catorze contrafortes cilíndricos, com os torreões do pórtico, terminados num friso de merlões chanfrados, e todos coroados por coruchéus cónicos. A cabeceira é um corpo cúbico, alargado lateralmente pelos volumes mais baixos e muito estreitos das sacristias, também ameiadas, onde se rasgam frestas ogivais. Sobre a capela-mor ergue-se o lanternim hexagonal, e no topo norte, deitando para a sacristia, destaca-se o campanário. De salientar ainda a sucessão de interessantes gárgulas de granito, de temática zoomórfica, ao longo do edifício. No interior de nave única, coberta por abóbada de volta perfeita, existem vários painéis de azulejo de padrão geométrico, em verde e branco, ainda quinhentistas e de ressonâncias mudéjares; os altares de talha dourada setecentista, um de cada lado da nave, são dedicados a São Romão e a Nossa Senhora das Candeias. Na capela-mor, o retábulo também em talha dourada enquadra uma escultura de madeira do santo padroeiro do templo, em edícula central. As pinturas são no geral arcaizantes, de nítida influência flamenga e interesse apenas regional, datáveis da segunda metade de quinhentos, embora respeitem a duas empreitadas distintas Guarda-se no Museu Regional de Évora parte do importante recheio de ourivesaria sacra, de prata dourada, da extinta Confraria de São Brás. Existe ainda algum mobiliário setecentista nas dependências da igreja, bem como uma pia de água benta, renascentista, em mármore.O templo sofreu beneficiações em 1573, custeadas pelo Cardeal-Infante D. Henrique, e constando basicamente de decorações murais nas paredes e abóbadas da nave e execução do retábulo de talha, mas as pinturas (e vários altares) ficaram destruídos em 1663, por ocasião dos bombardeamentos da cidade pelas tropas castelhanas, particularmente desastroso por a ermida se encontrar na cintura defensiva do Rossio de São Brás. Embora os trabalhos de restauro tenham começado imediatamente, os últimos vestígios das pinturas murais desapareceram nas reformas camarárias de finais do século XIX e início do século XX. Ainda hoje são visíveis alguns vestígios de um friso de esgrafitos, incluíndo emblemas manuelinos e temas geométricos, ao longo do remate superior da fachada, agora restaurada e pintada de novo.

m2 ?

Pre 1554 Nicholas bought part of the manor here from Sir Edward Stanhope and built the hall.

In 1546 he was appointed to the recordership of Nottingham and also MP for Nottingham 3 times. In November 1554 he was one of a number of MPs prosecuted in the King’s bench for absenting themselves without licence. In 1557 he was fined 53s.4d and his absence was held to be deliberate and inexcusable: His public career showed no advancement during the remainder of Mary’s reign, but evidence against him coincided with his leaving the recordership

At the beginning of the reign of Elizabeth he was made serjeant-at-law and a judge at Lancaster, and for several years he was busy on commissions in his home county and further north until ending abruptly c1565 and thereafter he disappeared almost completely from public life. He was not yet an old man, but he could have been an ailing one, or perhaps he paid the penalty for recusancy, not on his own account but on his family’s, - in 1564 the archbishop of York omitted to categorize him—but his nephew’s house at West Hallam had become a refuge for Catholic priests:

During his earlier career Powtrell was associated with the Willoughbys of Wollaton from whom he received an annuity and although not one of his servants he performed services for the Manners Earls of Rutland.

In 1573 he bought land from William Thornehill, gent in the manors of Cassalls and Claworth, 25 messuages, 12 cottages, etc. there and in Heyton, Clarebrough, Wheatley, Wieston Gringley super montem, Saunby, Dole and Deckingham, Nottinghamshire, for £220.

Having no issue, In his will of Sept. 1579 he recited an indenture drawn up in the previous year leasing the manor of Egmanton and lands in Laxton, Tuxford and Weston to his niece Julian and her husband William Mason, two of his executors; he had afterwards granted these properties to a group of feoffees, including his cousin Thomas Markham, to his own use and on his death to that of Markham and his heirs. He had made a similar arrangement for the disposal of other lands in north Nottinghamshire, intending at that time to disinherit his nephew Walter Powtrell, because of "the untrue and slanderous reports and of the unnatural dealing that he and his wife have and do daily use towards me". In his will, however, Powtrell declared his ‘"readiness ... to die in charity towards them and all the world", and in the hope that his nephew’s son would prove "more wise, honest ... and of better judgment"’ he granted these lands to Thomas Markham to the use of Walter and his heirs. His household goods, articles of silver and other valuables Powtrell left to relatives, including his nephews the Masons and the Stringers, and he made several monetary bequests to his servants. William Dabridgecourt and Thomas Markham were appointed supervisors.

After his death his attempt to disinherit his nephew in favour of his couisin Thomas Markham of Ollerton provoked a dispute between Walter Powtrell and the executors; In June 1584 the administration of the will was granted to Walter Powtrell as next of kin, but in March 1587 this was revoked and probate was granted to the executors - Church of St Mary Egmanton Nottinghamshire

The Beheading of St. John the Baptist is my favourite dedication of any Kent church seen this far. It sits on the side of a down, above the rest of the village, which is what counts as the main road from Newnham to Lenham.

It also sits beside the parkland of Doddington Park, I was told by a local that is well worth a visit to see the gardens.

That the church is largely untouched since the 13th century, the clapboarded tower seems to have a new coast of paint and glistened in the early spring sunshine.

The churchyard seems now to be a nature reserve, or that wildlife is encouraged. So it is carpeted with snowdrops, with Winter Aconites, Primroses and Crocuses all showing well.

An enchanting church set in a wooded churchyard on the edge of a steep valley. The building displays much of medieval interest due to minimal nineteenth-century interference. The most important feature is the small stone prayer desk next to the westernmost window of the chancel. This window is of the low side variety - the desk proving the window's part in devotional activities. The nearby thirteenth-century lancet windows have a series of wall paintings in their splays, while opposite is a fine medieval screen complete with canopy over the priests' seats. There is also an excellent example of a thirteenth-century hagioscope that gives a view of the main altar from the south aisle, which was a structural addition to the original building. The south chancel chapel belonged to the owners of Sharsted Court and contains a fine series of memorials to them. Most of the stained glass is nineteenth century - some of very good quality indeed. Outside there is a good tufa quoin on the north wall of the nave and a short weatherboarded tower.

DODDINGTON.

NEXT to that of Linsted south-eastward, is the parish of Doddington, called in the record of Domesday, Dodeham.

THIS PARISH is about two miles across each way, it lies the greatest part of it on the hills on the northern side of the high road leading from Faversham through Newnham valley over Hollingborne hill towards Maidstone. It is a poor but healthy situation, being much exposed to the cold and bleak winds which blow up through the valley, on each side of which the hills, which are near the summit of them, interspersed with coppice woods, rise pretty high, the soil is mostly chalk, very barren, and much covered with slint stones. The village stands on the road in the valley, at the east end of it is a good house, called WHITEMANS, which formerly belonged to the family of Adye, and afterwards to that of Eve, of one of whom it was purchased by the Rev. Francis Dodsworth, who almost rebuilt it, and now resides in it. Upon the northern hill, just above the village, is the church, and close to it the vicarage, a neat modern fashed house; and about a mile eastward almost surrounded with wood, and just above the village of Newnham, the mansion of Sharsted, a gloomy retired situation.

Being within the hundred of Tenham, the whole of this parish is subordinate to that manor.

At the time of taking the above record, which was anno 1080, this place was part of the possessions of Odo, the great bishop of Baieux, the king's half brother; accordingly it is thus entered, under the general title of that prelate's lands:

The same Fulbert holds of the bishop Dodeham. It was taxed at one suling. The arable land is . . . . . In demesne there is one carucate and seventeen villeins, with ten borderers having two carucates. There is a church, and six servants, and half a fisbery of three hundred small fish, and in the city of Canterbury five houses of seven shillings and ten pence. In the time of king Edward the Confessor it was worth ten pounds. The bishop let it to ferm for ten pounds, when Fulbert received it, six pounds, and the like now . . . . . Sired held it of king Edward.

Four years after which the bishop of Baieux was disgraced, and all his effects were consiscated to the crown.

PART OF THE above-mentioned estate was, most probably, THE MANOR OF SHARSTED, or, as it was antiently called Sabersted, the seat of which, called Sharsted-court, is situated on the hill just above the village of Newnham, though within the bounds of this parish.

This manor gave both residence and name to a family who possessed it in very early times, for Sir Simon de Sharsted died possessed of it in the 25th year of king Edward I. then holding it of the king, of the barony of Crevequer, and by the service of part of a knight's see, and suit to the court of Ledes.

Richard de Sharsted lies buried in this church, in the chapel belonging to this manor. Robert de Sharsted died possessed of it in the 8th year of king Edward III. leaving an only daughter and heir, married to John de Bourne, son of John de Bourne, sheriff several years in the reign of king Edward I. whose family had been possessed of lands and resided in this parish for some generations before. In his descendants this estate continued down to Bartholomew Bourne, who possessed it in the reign of Henry VI. in whose descendants resident at Sharsted, (who many of them lie buried in this church, and bore for their arms, Ermine, on a bend azure, three lions passant guardant, or) this estate continued down to James Bourne, esq. who in the beginning of king Charles I.'s reign, alienated Sharsted to Mr. Abraham Delaune, merchant, of London, the son of Gideon Delaune, merchant, of the Black Friars there, who bore for his arms, Azure, a cross of Lozenges, or, on a chief gules, a lion passantguardant of the second, holding in his dexter paw a fleur de lis; which was assigned to him by William Segar, garter, in 1612, anno 10 James I.

He resided at Sharsted, in which he was succeeded by his eldest son, Sir William Delaune, who resided likewise at Sharsted, where he died in 1667, and was buried in Doddington church. He was twice married; first to Anne, daughter and only heir of Tho. Haward, esq. of Gillingham, by whom he had an only daughter Anne, heir to her mother's inheritance. His second wife was Dorcas, daughter of Sir Robert Barkham, of Tottenham High Cross, (remarried to Sir Edward Dering) by whom he had a son William, and a daughter Mary, married to colonel Edward Thornicroft, of Westminster.

William Delaune, esq. the son, succeeded to this estate, and was knight of the shire for this county. He died in 1739, s.p having married Anne, the widow of Arthur Swift, esq. upon which it passed by the entail in his will to his nephew Gideon Thornicroft, son of his sister Mary, widow of Edward Thornicroft, esq. by whom she had likewise three daughters, Dorcas, Elizabeth, and Anne. This branch of the family of Thornicroft was situated at Milcomb, in Oxfordshire, and was a younger branch of those of Thornicroft, in Cheshire. John Thornicroft, esq. of London, barrister-at-law, was younger brother of Edward Thornicroft, esq. of Cheshire, and father of John, for their arms, Vert, a mascle, or, between four crasscreated a baronet of August 12, 1701, and of colonel Edward Thornicroft above-mentioned. They bore for their arms, Vert, a mascle, or, between four crosscroslets, argent. Lieutenant-colonel Thornicroft was governor of Alicant, when that fortress was besieged in 1709, and perished there, by the explosion of a mine. (fn. 1)

Gideon Thornicroft, esq. possessed this estate but a small time, and dying in 1742, s.p. and being the last in the entail above-mentioned, he devised it by his will to his mother, Mrs.Mary Thornicroft, who dying in 1744, by her will devised to her two maiden daughters, Dorcas and Anne, this manor and seat, as well as all the rest of her estates, excepting Churchill farm in Doddington, which she gave to her second daughter Elizabeth, who had married George Nevill, lord Abergavenny, who dieds.p. and lady Abergavenny, in her life-time, made a deed of gift of this farm, to her son Alured Pinke, esq. who now owns it.

They possessed this estate jointly till the death of Mrs.Dorcas Thornicroft, in 1759, when she by will devised her moiety of it, as well as the rest of her estates, except the Grange in Gillingham, to her sister Mrs. Anne Thornicroft, for her life, remainder in tail to her nephew Alured Pinke, barrister-at-law, son of Elizabeth, lady Abergavenny, her sister by her second husband Alured Pinke. esq. barrister-at-law, who had by her likewise a daughter Jane, married to the Rev. Henry Shove; upon this Mrs.Anne Thornicroft before-mentioned, became the sole possessor of this manor and estate, in which she resided till her death in 1791, æt. 90, upon which it came to her nephew, Alured Pinke, esq. before-mentioned, who married Mary, second daughter of Thomas Faunce, esq. of Sutton-at-Hone, by whom he has one son Thomas. He bears for his arms, Argent, five lozenges in pale, gules, within a bordure, azure, charged with three crosses pattee, fitchee. He resides here, and is the present possessor of this seat and estate. A court baron is held for this manor.

DOWNE-COURT is a manor in this parish, situated on the hill, about half a mile north westward from the church. In the reign of king Edward I. it was in the possession of William de Dodington, who in the 7th year of it did homage to archbishop Peckham for this manor, as part of a knight's fee, held of him by the description of certain lands in Doddington, called Le Downe. His descendant Simon de Dodington, paid aid for it in the 20th year of king Edward III. as appears by the Book of Aid; from him it passed into the family of Bourne, of Bishopsborne, whose ancestors were undoubtedly possessed of lands in this parish, (fn. 2) so early as the reign of Henry III. for archbishop Boniface, who came to the see of Canterbury in the 29th year of it, granted to Henry de Bourne, (fn. 3) one yoke of land, in the parish of Dudingtune, belonging to his manor of Tenham, which land he held in gavelkind, and might hold to him and his heirs, of the archbishop and his successors, by the service of part of a knight's fee, and by rent to the manor of Tenham.

His descendant John de Bourne lived in the reign of king Edward I. in the 17th year of which he obtained a charter offree warrenfor his lands in Bourne, Higham, and Doddington, after which he was sheriff in the 22d and the two following years of it, as he was again in the 5th year of king Edward III. His son John de Bourne married the daughter and sole heir of Robert de Sharsted, by which he became possessed of that manor likewise, as has been already related, and in his descendants Downe-court continued till about the latter end of king Henry VI.'s reign, when it was alienated to Dungate, of Dungate-street, in Kingsdown, the last of which name leaving an only daughter and heir, she carried it in marriage to Killigrew, who about the beginning of Henry VIII. ending likewise in two daughters and coheirs, one of whom married Roydon, and the other Cowland, they, in right of their respective wives, became possessed of it in equal shares. The former, about the latter end of that reign, alienated his part to John Adye, gent. of Greet, in this parish, a seat where his ancestors had been resident ever since the reign of Edward III. for he was descended from John de Greet, of Greet, in this parish, who lived there in the 25th year of that king's reign. His grandson, son of Walter, lived there in the reign of Henry V. and assumed the name of Adye. (fn. 4) This family bore for their arms, Azure, a fess dancette, or, between three cherubins heads, argent, crined of the second; which coat was confirmed by-Sir John Segar, garter, anno 11 James I. to John Adye, esq. of Doddington, son and heir of John Adye, esq. of Sittingborne, and heir of John Adye, the purchaser of the moiety of this manor.

He possessed this moiety of Downe court on his father's death, and was resident at Sittingborne. He died on May 9, 1612, æt. 66, and was buried in Doddington church, leaving issue by Thomasine his wife, daughter and coheir of Rich. Day, gent. of Tring, in Hertsordshire, one son John, and five daughters.

John Adye, esq. the grandson of John, the first purchaser, succeeded at length to this moiety of Downe-court, and resided there, during which time he purchased of the heirs of Allen the other moiety of it, one of which name had become possessed of it by sale from the executors of Cowland, who by his will in 1540, had ordered it to be sold, for the payment of debts and legacies. He died possessed of the whole of this manor and estate, in 1660, and was buried in Nutsted church, of which manor he was owner. He left by his first wife several children, of whom John, the eldest, died s.p. Edward, the second, was of Barham in the reign of king Charles II. under which parish more of him and his descendants may be seen; (fn. 5) and Nicholas was the third son, of whom mention will be made hereafter. By his second wife he had Solomon, who was of East Shelve, in Lenham, and other children.

Nicholas Adye, esq. the third son, succeeded to Downe-court, and married Jane, daughter of Edward Desbouverie, esq. Their eldest son, John Adye, succeeded to this manor, at which he resided till he removed to Beakesborne, at the latter end of Charles II.'s reign, about which time he seems to have alienated it to Creed, of Charing, in which name it continued till it was sold to Bryan Bentham, esq. of Sheerness, who devised it to his eldest son Edward Bentham, esq. of the Navy-office, who bore for his arms, Quarterly, argent and gules, a cross story counterchanged; in the first and fourth quarters, a rose, gules, seeded, or, barbed vert; in the second and third quarters, a sun in its glory, or; being the arms given by queen Elizabeth to Thomas Bentham, D.D. bishop of Litchfield, on his being preferred to that see in 1559, the antient family arms of Bentham, of Yorkshire, being Argent, a bend between two cinquefoils, sable. Since his death this estate has by his will become vested in trustees, to fulfil the purposes of it.

Charities.

JOHN ADYE, ESQ. gave by will in 1660, 40s. to the poor of this parish, payable yearly out of Capel hill, in Leysdown, the estate of Samuel-Elias Sawbridge, esq.

AN UNKNOWN PERSON gave 20s. per annum, payable out of an estate in Doddington, late belonging to the earl of Essingham, and now to the Rev. Francis Dodsworth.

TEN SHILLINGS are paid yearly at Christmas, to the poor of this parish, by the lessee of the parsonage by the reservation in his lease.

THE REV. MR. SOMERCALES, vicar of this parish, by his will gave an Exchequer annuity of 14l. to be applied to the instructing of poor children in the Christian religion.

FORTY HILLINGS are payable yearly at Michaelmas, out of a field formerly called Pyding, now St.John Shotts, belonging to Alured Pinke, esq. towards the repair of the church.

A PERSON UNKNOWN gave for the habitation of three poor persons, a house, now containing three dwellings.

The poor constantly relieved are about forty-five.

DODDINGTON is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the dioceseof Canterbury, and deanry of Ospringe.

The church, which is dedicated to St. John Baptist, consists of a body and chancel, with a chapel or chantry on the south side of it, belonging to the Sharsted estate. At the west end is a low pointed steeple, in which are six bells. About the year 1650, the steeple of this church was set on fire by lightning, and much damaged. In this church are memorials for the Swalman's, Nicholson's of Homestall, and the Norton's, and in the south, or Sharsted chancel, there is a black marble of an antique form, and on a fillet of brass round the verge of it, in old French capitals, Hic Jacet Ricardus de Saherstada, with other letters now illegible, and memorials for the Bourne's and Delaune's.

The church of Doddington was antiently esteemed as a chapel to the church of Tenham, as appears by the Black Book of the archdencon, and it was given and appropriated with that church and its appendages, in 1227, by archbishop Stephen Langton, to the archdeaconry. It has long since been independent of the church of Tenham, and still continues appropriated to the archdeacon, who is likewise patron of the vicarage of it.

Richard Wethershed, who succeded archbishop Langton in 1229, confirmed the gift of master Girard, who whilst he was rector of the church of Tenham, granted to the chapel of Dudintune, that the tithes of twenty acres of the assart of Pidinge should be taken for the use of this chapel for ever, to be expended by the disposition of the curate, and two or three parishioners of credit, to the repairing of the books, vestments, and ornaments necessary to the chapel. (fn. 6)

It is valued in the king's books at fifteen pounds, and the yearly tenths at 1l. 10s. In the visitation of archdeacon Harpsfield, in 1557, this vicarage was returned to be of the value of twelve pounds; parishioners sixty, housholders thirty-two.

¶In 1569, at the visitation of archbishop Parker, it was returned, that the chapel of Doddington used to be let to farm for forty pounds, and sometimes for less; that there were here communicants one hundred and thirteen, housholders thirty-five. In 1640 the vicarage was valued at thirty pounds; communicants one hundred and seven.

Archdeacon Parker, at the instance of archbishop Sancrost, by lease, anno 27 Charles II. reserved an additional pension of ten pounds per annum to the vicar. It pays no procurations to the archdeacon. It is now a discharged living in the king's books.

Paul Auster

The New York Trilogy

First published in: “City of Glass” (1985), “Ghosts” (1986) and “The Locked Room” (1986).

This edition (as a trilogy): Penguin Books 1990.

Cover design by Greg Mollica

One morning last February, I was standing right outside a Starbucks in New York City and for some reason decided to look down. And there they were. Three twenty dollar bills. I planted my foot down immediately – because it was windy there, around the Empire State Building. Then of course I looked around and waited for a couple of minutes, to see if anyone was groping their pockets or frantically looking for something. I could have yelled “Yo, who lost 60 dollars?” but we all know people aren’t that honest. Anyway, there was no one. So I kindly thanked New York, promised to give back to the city by visiting again soon and then I took Wil to The Strand to spend the money on a just cause. Books.

One of the books I decided on was Auster’s “New York Trilogy”, partly as a nod to the city, which serves as the atmospheric backdrop to most of Auster’s novels.

“The New York Trilogy” is in intricate work consisting of three detective novella’s, seemingly stand-alone. Each novella has its own storyline, all with common themes and elements.

“City of Ghosts” begins with a phonecall to Daniel Quinn, a writer, who is mistaken for ‘Paul Auster’ (yes, Auster features himself in the book), whose services are requested to help search for a young man’s father, one Peter Stillman. Bored with his life and lacking inspiration for his writing, Quinn decides to pose as ‘Paul Auster’ and takes on the job to find Stillman. Instead of finding much of an answer, Quinn instead slowly loses something... his grip on himself.

“Ghosts” is an interesting take on the detective novel, reminiscent of film noir (or a graphic novel). Blue is hired by White to spy on Black... but what if the spy becomes the one spied on?

Finally, “The Locked Room” is the one connecting the trilogy as a whole. A mediocre writer (the narrator of this third novella) becomes the literary executor for an old friend, who has mysteriously vanished. What happened, and why is it so hard to let go?

To me personally, this quote found in “The Locked Room” is a perfect way to begin explaining what Auster is trying to do: “The story is not in the words. It’s in the struggle.” (p.346 of my edition.)

In this trilogy, which is a wonderful example of meta-fiction, Auster is exploring the techniques used in the writing of detective novels. He’s looking beneath the surface of the novels in the detective genre. Identity is a big factor; each ‘detective’ in this trilogy is trying to find someone else, but obsession forces him to be confronted with his own self.

Introspection is another theme, which is evident from the fact that Auster has incorporated a lot of himself in this book, not only by introducing the character ‘Paul Auster’ but also by using the names of various loved ones for his characters (one character is named Sophie, also the name of his daughter. Another is named Daniel, the name of his son, and so on). Details such as these makes me value the idea that perhaps Auster writes to also explore himself as a writer and individual.

What Auster has accomplished is that the reader, initially a bystander, becomes a ‘detective’ too. Reading the trilogy is thrilling, adventurous even; I found myself on the look-out for underlying connections and patterns throughout the book. Trying to find clues, searching for possible predictions and what ties these three novellas together. The ‘detectives’ in the novellas become the watched; the readers are the ones observing them, trying to find anwers.

Are there any answers? There is some form of a conclusion, yes, but much is left unresolved. But that isn’t necessarily what makes a book great. “Oracle Night”, another one of Auster’s meta-fiction novels, was quite unresolved in many ways as well, but I learned to be more aware of the reading and writing process, not just to focus my attention on a satisfying conclusion.

What I gained from “The New York Trilogy” is to actually get a real kick out of the reading experience. I am a bit of a ‘detective’ now no matter what book I read.

He took over his father in law's grocery business and prospered, becoming a freeman of Norwich in 1573. and took an active role in city life, serving as Sheriff, Mayor and Speaker of the Council. He was elected mayor in 1611, and as was usual there was a pageant and firework display. Sadly the cord suspended with fireworks collapsed causing the deaths of 33 bystanders. The occasion was described by a local catholic commentator as "a scourge to that wicked citie and puritan mayor .. being Anguish did portend anguish and sorrow to the people" Thereafter fireworks were banned from Guildhall feasts

Thomas also bequeathed a property in Fishergate to the Corporation to be used as a hostel "for the keeping and bringing up and teaching of very poor children" which was opened in 1621 - Boys were first to be admitted, with girls following some years later. It still survives www.anguishseducationalfoundation.org.uk/about-us/ There was also a foundling hospital begun in 1618 where annual sermon was to be preached on its founders day.

Thomas was certainly a Calvinist if not a puritan - The fireworks episode must have preyed on his mind as his will states he died in the assurance that Christ "hath of his own free will and greate mean fully paide and satisfied the wrath of God the Father due unto me for my synne. And that through his blessed merit, death and passion I shall have and enjoy the fruition and benefit of everlasting life to joyn with Him in eternall joy and happiness among the elect children of God for ever"

Executors of the late Mrs Curling, Dulverton, Alton Road, Parkstone, Poole.

ON 21 April 1963 I spent one of my few nights away from home whilst on a weekend tour of the Yorkshire area railway sheds with a Bristol Railway Touring club. The night was spent in central Leeds, and a short walk away from the hotel was one of the central area bus stations. The only Ledgard ( to be precise, the Executors of Samuel Ledgard) bus to be seen during the time I was there was MUA860, a 1949 Leyland bodied Leyland PD2/1, bought new by the company. How strange to think that the photograph may well taken using an external flash gun with disposable bulbs that crunched satisfyingly beneath one's shoes when used!
