St Mary, Huntingfield, Suffolk
Follow these journeys as they happen at Last of England twitter.
It was the first day of the 2019 Easter holidays, and what better way to spend a Monday morning than heading off for a church-exploring bike ride rather than going to work? I caught the train up to Halesworth, and then cycled off out into the hills. The villages and their pretty parish churches come thick and fast around here, and almost all of them are open to pilgrims and strangers daily. There is a good mixture too, round towers, square towers, hardly-any-left towers, reed-thatched roofs, beflinted-porches, and all manner of treasures inside. A fair number of East Anglia's best small churches are in this area. But even given this variety, there is nowhere else in East Anglia quite like Huntingfield church.
This is one of Suffolk's more obscure villages, but the Huntingfield name was that of one of the county's most significant families. Huntingfield is the nearest village to the great pile of Heveningham Hall, with one of the largest Georgian frontages in England. It was rebuilt by the Huntingfields in the 18th Century. Standing on the road and looking across the sheep-scattered lawns to the great building, it is easy to imagine the gulf between the landed gentry and their poor workers in those days. Sandwiched between the traumas of the 17th Century and the energy of the 19th Century, it was the landowners of the 18th Century who had every reason to think that their world was permanent and unchanging, that it would always be as they knew it. Farming sheep, collecting art, patronising musicians, tinkering with primitive science and technology, dispensing benevolent largesse to the poor on their estate - it is a world that is at once attractive and appalling. For them, the Church of England was both an arm of the state dispensing laws, justice and charity, and the setting for the weekly liturgical reinforcement of the puritan-refracted Elizabethan settlement.
But the Industrial Revolution would bring it all to an end, and in more ways than one. In the second half of the latter century, many parish churches were drawn by the excitement of the age into major reconstructions and revisions. Their impulse came from Oxford, where the Tractarians had a vision of the Church of England as a national Church, no longer a protestant sect but restored to the catholicity of its roots, and from Cambridge, where the ecclesiologists decided what a building of the national Church should properly look like. As the young men graduated and were presented to parishes across the country, their ideas spread like wildfire. They had come from their univserities to churches fitted out for protestant worship, with whitewashed walls and box pews focused on the high pulpit, the rarely-used altar gathering dust in the chancel or even discarded. Preaching houses rather than sacramental spaces, and any surviving traces of the building's medieval life survived, perhaps, simply because they were not understood.
Essentially, what happened in England between about 1830 and 1870 was a cultural revolution, a new wave of ideas and the reaction to them. The litugical changes proposed by the Oxford Movement were, at first, objectionable, and then merely controversial. But gradually they seeped into the mainstream, until by about 1890 they had become as natural as the air we breathe. Galvanised by the ferment of ideas and the possibilities of the industrial age, these young men convinced their rich patrons, revolutionised their buildings, and in so doing altered their parishes forever. They often looked to London stars like Scott and Butterfield, or local plodders like Phipson, or else mavericks like Salvin. The demands of the new liturgical arrangements, coupled with a renewed sense of the need to glorify God, led them into what was often a rebuilding rather than a restoration.
Internal decorations were, perhaps, the bespoke work of the architect, Witness Phipson's meticulous attention to detail at St Mary le Tower, Ipswich. Other restorers relied on the big picture, a vision that encompassed walls and floors, but left the fittings to others. By the centenary of the movement in the 1930s, one Anglican clergyman could observe "It is as if the Reformation had never happened". Well, not quite. And now, the pendulum has swung the other way, leaving the ritualists high and dry. But the evidence of the energy of those days survives, especially at Huntingfield, where William Holland, the vicar, drove the Oxford Movement through the heart of the parish, like a motorway through a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
The Hollands were the patrons of the living, which gave them the authority and the money to reimagine Huntingfield church on a grand scale. Oxford and Cambridge universites were exclusively for men, of course, but it so happened that William Holland had an energetic and visionary wife. Between 1859 and 1866, Mrs Mildred Holland planned, designed and executed the most elaborate redecoration of a church this county had seen since the Reformation. For seven years, she lay on her back at the top of scaffolding, first in the chancel (angels) and then in the nave (saints on the ceilure, fine angels on the beam ends), gilding, lettering and painting this most glorious of small church roofs. Her husband kept a journal throughout this period, and there is no suggestion that she had any assistance, beyond that of workmen to raise the scaffolding, and a Mr E.L. Blackburne FSA, who was, apparently, an 'authority on medieval decoration'. J.P. St Aubyn was responsible for the structural restoration of this largely 15th century building, and it is very restrained and merciful. But you come here to see the painted roofs, which are perfectly splendid. You can activate the floodlighting with a pound coin in a box at the west end of the north aisle, and the illuminated work is breath-taking.
What else is there to see? Some 15th Century window borders in the east window of the south aisle depict hares and a little dog with a bell around his neck. And what is that at the bottom, a dragon, or a winged lion? Evidence of the church's continued High Church tradition into the 20th Century is in statues of the Blessed Virgin and child flanked by St Francis and St Dominic in a triple image niche set in a pillar of the north arcade. Was it originally for a rood group, perhaps above an altar? Any church is a palimpsest, history written and rewritten over its skin as a touchstone to changing liturgical imperatives and the long generations of its people. Across this canvas the enthusiasms and Huntingfield in Mildred Holland's time are writ large, and will last long.
And there is something else, and a great curiosity. Ann Owen, the Vicar's wife in the neighbouring parish of Heveningham, is also said to have been responsible for 19th Century work in the church there, this time in the form of stained glass. Visiting Heveningham, I am afraid it is difficult for me to find this convincing, although of course one likes to think it was so, and that the two women artists were friends, or possibly even rivals. But Mildred's story has been brilliantly captured in a recent novel, The Huntingfield Paintress by Pamela Holmes. Pamela tells me that 'it was a comment of yours about Mildred and Ann Owen which sparked my determination to write my first novel' which is very kind of her, although I am sure it was easy to be inspired when one stands here surrounded by Mildred Holland's work.
You might thnk that the towering font cover is also by her, but in fact it is her memorial, placed here by her husband, as is the art nouveau lectern. It is as if her art was a catalyst, inspiring others to acts of beauty. She died in the 1870s, predeceasing her husband by twenty years. They are both now buried by the churchyard gate. How fitting, that they should lie in the graveyard of the church they loved so much, and to which they gave so much of their time, energy and money.

“ENTRE CATEDRALES”
Calle Campo del Sur, entre la “catedral nueva” y la iglesia de la Santa Cruz “catedral vieja”. Cádiz.
Arquitecto: Alberto Campo Baeza.
Colaboradores: Emilio Delgado, Ignacio Aguirre y David Delgado, arquitectos; Miguel Ciria y Juan Yruela estudiantes, Manuel Cebada arquitecto técnico y Andrés Rubio y Jorge Conde, ingenieros
2000-2005 Proyecto 2007-2009 obras
Campo Baeza describe se obra:
El proyecto "Entre Catedrales" trata de crear una pieza de arquitectura capaz de acoger y proteger y poner en valor el lugar más significativo de la historia de Cádiz, la ciudad más antigua de occidente: el espacio vacío que existe entre la catedral nueva y la catedral vieja, frente al mar, y que está siendo motivo de una importante excavación arqueológica.
Los objetivos son los de cubrir y proteger la excavación. Además, querríamos que ese plano con el que se cubre sirviera de base para un espacio de estancia público frente al mar, con una altura tal que la visión sea limpia, sin ver los coches que pasan por la vía de circunvalación.
Se concibe como una blanca plataforma ligera, posada sobre la excavación, como de puntillas, a la que se accede por una rampa lateral. En ese plano se abrirán lucernarios para iluminar y permitir ver la excavación desde arriba. Arriba se construye un umbráculo que nos proteja del sol y de la lluvia, y al fondo, cubriendo la actual medianera, un paramento de piedra capaz de dar continuidad a las fachadas de piedra de las dos catedrales.
Todo ello construido con elementos ligeros, quizás metálicos como si de una construcción naval se tratara, todo pintado de blanco para acentuar su liviandad. La zona transitable se alfombra con mármol blanco.
En la construcción de la base, la memoria de los barcos. En la del umbráculo, como si de un palio con varales se tratara, la memoria de un paso.
Querríamos hacer una pieza de arquitectura bellísima, capaz de poner en valor ese lugar maravilloso, capaz de permanecer en la memoria de Cádiz.
La Estructura esta formada por un entramado de pilares metálicos de 3 x 3 metros, apoyados sobre la excavación para soportar a 2,50 metros de altura un plano horizontal metálico de platabanda gruesa sobre la que se apoyará a modo de alfombra el pavimento de mármol que evidenciará las zonas pisables. El acero está acabado en blanco y tratado como si del casco de un barco se tratara, tanto a efectos del fuego como de la corrosión. La zona situada bajo dicho plano se cierra mediante un cerramiento acristalado para preservar el yacimiento arqueológico que puede ser visitable.
El pavimento del plano horizontal se forma mediante adoquines cúbicos de 10 x 10 x 10 cm de mármol blanco de Macael, con sus bordes biselados de manera que se crean unas acanaladuras antideslizantes. Para recubrir el plano vertical del fondo en él se abren los huecos necesarios, la fachada lateral de la Casa del Obispo, se utiliza la característica piedra ostionera que cubre las dos catedrales, sirviendo para conectarlas visualmente.
En la zona estancial superior, un espacio público de 920 metros cuadrados desde el que se contempla el mar sin la interrupción de los vehículos que pasan por la vía de circunvalación del casco histórico, se incluyen bancos de acero lacado en blanco al igual que las barandillas metálicas. A ella se accede mediante una rampa que nace en la avenida. En el palio metálico, dar una mayor cantidad de sombra cuando fuere conveniente, se colgarán unas cortinas blancas a modo de velas de barco.
El mirador Entre Catedrales ha sido finalista en la LII edición de los Premios FAD de Arquitectura e Interiorismo. El jurado ha destacado la sofisticada naturalidad que consigue el mirador al enclavarse en esta nueva plaza, situada en la parte trasera de la Catedral nueva, mirando al mar. Es un espacio público con un carácter marcadamente sagrado. Además, subrayan, la colocación de la plaza elevada sobre valiosas ruinas permite hacer desaparecer el tránsito rodado entre nuestra mirada y el mar.

ENOCH T. CARSON, president of the Knights Templar Insurance Company, was born September 18, 1822, in Green township, Hamilton county, and was a son of William J. and Margaret (Terry) Carson. His maternal ancestors came from Virginia, and were among the first settlers in Cincinnati.
Our subject remained with his father on the farm until his twenty-third year, when he served three years as collector of tolls on the Cincinnati and Harrison turnpike, during which time he largely made up the deficiencies of his early education by systematic reading during his leisure hours.
In 1848 he was appointed deputy sheriff of Hamilton county, and served for two years. He then entered the employ of the Hamilton & Dayton Railroad Company, where he remained two years, and became their first depot master at the Sixth Street Depot, Cincinnati, In November, 1852, he was appointed chief deputy sheriff of Hamilton county, the duties of which office he faithfully executed for four years, Two years after the expiration of his term of office he engaged in the lamp and gas business, which he followed until 1861, when President Lincoln appointed him United States repository and collector of the Port of Cincinnati, an office which, with the outbreak of the Rebellion, developed from a minor position to one of vital importance.
Cincinnati being the distributing point for the armies South, questions arose of the most perplexing nature, and requiring the soundest. judgment to correctly adjust. During his administration ten million dollars were sometimes received in a single day, and the amount on deposit upon one occasion reached the enormous sum of thirty millions. To stand keeper of such vast stores almost within hearing of the famished Confederacy's cannon certainly required great courage, but he remained in the position until the close of the war, when he retired from office, and the following year made an extensive tour of the Old World.
In 1868, in connection with Mr. John E. Bell, he engaged in the development and sale of a large tract of land in Mill Creek Bottom, which they subdivided into building lots. Three years later he returned to the gas fixture and lamp business, in which he continued some two years. In 1870, being the nominee of both parties, he was almost unanimously elected member of the State Board of Equalization, in which position he rendered signal service to the tax-payers of Cincinnati. The following year he was appointed commissioner of costs and fees of Hamilton county; also a member of the board of park commissioners of Cincinnati.
Mr. Carson became a member of the Masonic Order in 1845, was elected grand commander of Knights Templar of Ohio in 1871, and about the same time lieutenant-commander of the Northern Supreme Council of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, thirty-third degree. Mr. Carson had one of the largest private libraries of English, French and German works on secret societies in the world; it is also especially rich in illustrated Shakespearean literature.
His home in Cheviot is now Harvest Home Park.
Enoch and Ashsah Carson had settled on 20 acres of Green Township land in 1806 with their eight children. When their first harvest was abundant out of this fertile land, they invited the other settlers to rejoice and give thanks for the harvest, and in a grove outside of their cabin they held the first of many annual "festivals."
The Green Township Agricultural Society was organized to hold the annual festival on Carson's ranch from 1855-1859. Then the newly organized Green Township Harvest Home Association continued the Festival in Cheviot beginning on Friday, August 17, 1860 in Carson's beautiful grove and yearly after that until 1939, when the young men of the infant Kiwanis Club of Cheviot-Westwood took over the reigns for the 79th annual one day festival.
The Green Township Agricultural Society held the deed for the Harvest Home Park and this ownership was transferred to the City of Cheviot with the stipulation that the City of Cheviot permit the Kiwanis Club of Cheviot-Westwood to use the Harvest Home Park for the Fair.
The Harvest Home Fair, as it is now billed, has come to be known as "the biggest littie fair in Ohio," and probably the single largest Kiwanis project in the State and one of the largest in the nation.
In 1995. Harvest Home Fair profits went over the one million mark in 1988 and the 1997 Fair brought the profits to $1,695,507.66.

Here is the screen capture of the Windows version of my IRG transformation program, written in Visual Basic 2010 Express. This is a very early beta version 1.0. Not bad since I only started learning VB only a week ago. This program runs much much faster than my QBasic version.
I wanted the screen to be user friendly as well as informative, so the background explains what is being done to the image and the mathematical principles behind the software.
I also wanted to show all the channels before and after the mathematical transformation, so one could see (almost) instantaneously the changes to the matrices and the final image by applying different values for the gamma parameters, RX, RY, GX, GY.
I will post an "executable" of the program for others to test after I learn how to do that.
The text of the equations in the picture is a bit too small to read, so here it is.
MATHEMATICAL PRINCIPLES:
Original full-spectrum image is (R,G,B) = (Z1,Z2,Y)
Let Z1=(1-(1-X1)^(1/RX))*(1-Y)+(1-(1-Y)^(1/RY))*(1-X1)+X1*Y
To extract the Red channel, solve for X1 from known values of Y, Z1, RX, RY.
Let Z2=(1-(1-X2)^(1/GX))*(1-Y)+(1-(1-Y)^(1/GY))*(1-X2)+X2*Y
To extract the Green channel, solve for X2 from known values of Y, Z2, GX, GY
Derived IRG image is (R,G,B) = (Y,X1,X2)
To use these equations, reduce your pixels values to between 0 and 1. That is, divide Y, Z1, Z2 by 255 before plugging them into the equation. Multiply the derived X1 and X2 values by 255 to get your pixel value. RX, RY, GX, GY are somewhere between 1.0 and 5.0.
UPDATE September 5, 2010
I have a Version 1.2 using a new formula that I think is a better model.

CAMP HUMPHREYS – The first Hallelujah Night, a community alternative to the normal activities of Halloween, took place in the Super Gym, Oct.31.
Chaplain (Maj.) John Chun, the garrison command chaplain, has had the idea to organize the Hallelujah Night for the last three years.
“Some people may not want to participate in an event with scary costumes,” he said. “This is an alternative program (Hallelujah Night) for people who want to just come and have fun with nothing scary. We were going to start something like this before, but we just didn’t have enough personnel or time. Hopefully, the next garrison chaplain will continue the tradition.”
“The main thing is to just enjoy and have fun and make sure your kids don’t eat too many candies,” Chun said to those who attended the event.
Instead of scary costumes, smoke effects and traditional trick-or-treat, at the Hallelujah Night kids and their parents had a peaceful atmosphere, a variety of Bible thematic activities and games with sweets and candies for prizes, free treats and the prizes for the Best Dressed Bible Character contest.
Staff Sgt. Scott Peters, assigned to 568th Medical Company, was glad to spend time with his family at the event.
“This is our first Halloween here and I’m glad they did Hallelujah Night,” he said. “I think it is really nice and the kids really like it. They have a lot of activities for them to do. They definitely should do it again. My daughter went around, did all the activities, and got her face painted so it was a lot of fun for her.”

St. Louis is an independent city and inland port in the U.S. state of Missouri. It is situated along the western bank of the Mississippi River, which marks Missouri's border with Illinois. The Missouri River merges with the Mississippi River just north of the city. These two rivers combined form the fourth longest river system in the world. The city had an estimated 2017 population of 308,626 and is the cultural and economic center of the St. Louis metropolitan area (home to nearly 3,000,000 people), which is the largest metropolitan area in Missouri, the second-largest in Illinois (after Chicago), and the 22nd-largest in the United States.
Before European settlement, the area was a regional center of Native American Mississippian culture. The city of St. Louis was founded in 1764 by French fur traders Pierre Laclède and Auguste Chouteau, and named after Louis IX of France. In 1764, following France's defeat in the Seven Years' War, the area was ceded to Spain and retroceded back to France in 1800. In 1803, the United States acquired the territory as part of the Louisiana Purchase. During the 19th century, St. Louis became a major port on the Mississippi River; at the time of the 1870 Census it was the fourth-largest city in the country. It separated from St. Louis County in 1877, becoming an independent city and limiting its own political boundaries. In 1904, it hosted the Louisiana Purchase Exposition and the Summer Olympics.
The economy of metropolitan St. Louis relies on service, manufacturing, trade, transportation of goods, and tourism. Its metro area is home to major corporations, including Anheuser-Busch, Express Scripts, Centene, Boeing Defense, Emerson, Energizer, Panera, Enterprise, Peabody Energy, Ameren, Post Holdings, Monsanto, Edward Jones, Go Jet, Purina and Sigma-Aldrich. Nine of the ten Fortune 500 companies based in Missouri are located within the St. Louis metropolitan area. The city has also become known for its growing medical, pharmaceutical, and research presence due to institutions such as Washington University in St. Louis and Barnes-Jewish Hospital. St. Louis has two professional sports teams: the St. Louis Cardinals of Major League Baseball and the St. Louis Blues of the National Hockey League. One of the city's iconic sights is the 630-foot (192 m) tall Gateway Arch in the downtown area.

In 1969 and 1970, Heyerdahl built two boats from papyrus and attempted to cross the Atlantic Ocean from Morocco in Africa. Based on drawings and models from ancient Egypt, the first boat, named Ra (after the Egyptian Sun god), was constructed by boat builders from Lake Chad using papyrus reed obtained from Lake Tana in Ethiopia and launched into the Atlantic Ocean from the coast of Morocco. The Ra crew included Thor Heyerdahl (Norway), Norman Baker (USA), Carlo Mauri (Italy), Yuri Senkevich (USSR), Santiago Genoves (Mexico), Georges Sourial (Egypt), Abdullah Djibrine (Chad). After a number of weeks, Ra took on water after its crew made modifications to the vessel that caused it to sag and break apart. The ship was abandoned and the following year, another similar vessel, Ra II, was built of totora by Demetrio, Juan and Jose Limachi from Lake Titicaca in Bolivia and likewise set sail across the Atlantic from Morocco, this time with great success. The crew was mostly the same, only Djibrine had been replaced by Japanese Kei Ohara and Madani Ait Ouhanni (from Morocco). The boat reached Barbados, thus demonstrating that mariners could have dealt with trans-Atlantic voyages by sailing with the Canary Current.

This week the Sunday Club members Dave K and I visited the Bleanavon Heritage Railway.
Locomotive details-
Builder: R. Stephenson & Hawthorn Ltd., Newcastle-on-Tyne.
Built: 1945, works no.7169
Wheel Arrangement: 0-6-0ST
Wheel diameter: 4’ 3”
Boiler Pressure: 170psi.
Weight : 48 tons 5 cwt.
71515 was commissioned by the War Department in 1945 from Robert Stevenson and Hawthorns as WD71515, but, with WW2 all but over, was quickly put to work at the Swalwell Disposal Point in what was then the county of Durham, but is now Tyne & Wear. At the time the opencast disposal point was worked by Mechanical Navvies Limited, and it is in that company’s livery that the loco now appears.
It was taken into preservation by 1974 to the East Somerset Railway, where shortly after arrival she was was liveried in BR black with the spurious running number 68005.
By 1995 she was in service at the Bolton and Embsay Railway, still in BR black and where she was nicknamed ‘The Mog’. She was overhauled in 2004, but burst a boiler tube two years later and was laid aside.
Three years later, following interest shown by a PBR member, she was purchased in August 2009, and in the following month, taken to the Flour Mill works in the Forest of Dean for repair, and repainting into her original colour. She arrived at Furnace Sidings on 28 April 2010, and has worked the majority of services scheduled for steam haulage since. Her sure-footed bark as she tackles the steep grade between bridge 16 and Whistle Inn, and mournful Midland-style hooter is a familiar sound over Blaenavon.

The core of the Love London range is my book Love London, which came out last year, with 180 photographs of London, teamed up with over 100 quotes about the capital.
www.amazon.co.uk/Love-London-Barbara-Chandler/dp/1849940118
The Love London range present photographs from the book Love London. It's made possible by the fine detail of modern digital printing at the printing works of Digetex in Manchester and The New English in Stoke-on-Trent. Wherever possible the quotes about London are with the photographs on the products. The quotes are on the backs of the cushions for example, and on the backs of the mugs.
Love London is in six London branches of John Lewis, including ground floor at Westfield, Stratford; and second floor in gifts department at John Lewis Oxford Street. Also in Peter Jones and Kingston gifts departments.
All merchandise is on line at
www.johnlewis.com/337414/Product.aspx - some items are currently sold out, but new stock has been ordered. All products are currently available in stores.
Three designs of cushions cost £30 each.
"Ring ring" is a rather battered phone box in Chiswick - scrawled with a "ring ring" slogan.
"Police helmets" was taken in Whitehall at a tourist booth selling helmets for £1.50
"Eros" dates back to the early 90s, when the statue was silhouetted against a particularly beautiful evening sky.
There are two designs of zip-up make-up/wash bags - police helmets, again, and a beautiful little angel head on the drinking fountain of St Paul's Churchyard. This little angel is very versatile as she also appears as a wallpaper mural and is currently on show, over 4m high, in the SCIN gallery in Old Street, Clerkenwell.
Then there are three designs of tea towels, at £10 each. My favourite is the "Pearly Queens", who also appear on a tote bag (£12). All my profits from Pearly Queens merchandise will go to their charities. I am also sending the Pearlies some merchandise to sell for their good causes..
There are also three designs of bone china mug at £10 each - including "Eros", and graffiti in "Abbey Road" (again form the early 90s). The "bulldog" mug, and the large "bulldog" floor cushions feature the dog of a musician in Portobello Road, photographed in the 90s when I was there with my stall selling my photos and handmade cards.
There are also three designs of bone china plates. The black-and-white picture of Tower Bridge is an early one, but Piccadilly Circus at night, and the Millennium Bridge are clearly more recent.
A selection of canvases complete the range at present . These are varied, from the Routemaster buses to the Scary mural which many will recognise from Rivington Street.
I'd like to thank Debbie at Digetex and Paul at The New English for all their design work and product development on this range. Basically, I just want to have the chance to show 25 years of photography to more people.

This is the "Punch" end of the buffet table . . . the floating apples are frozen. These are used instead of ice or a frozen punch ring (hard to make as far as *I* am concerned - I quit doing it years ago and use apples of "seasonal" colors - - - green and yellow in the spring, and red or green (depending on what color the punch is) for Christmas, yellow or red for fall, etc. I used green in the white-cranberry-grape-juice punch for my daughter's wedding. (Picture of THAT punch bowl is in the first comment below . . . it wouldn't "stick" here!
My mom taught me this trick and people love it. The apples can be "trash apples" - things you don't particularly enjoy eating . . . small ones, etc., as long as they are good and clean without bruises or "bad" places since they get quite mushy when they thaw out over several hours time.
They're festive and they make WONDERFUL "ice cubes" - - - keep it very cold without diluting the punch at *all*!!!!
In the immortal words of Mikey, the Life Cereal kid, "Try it! You'll LIKE it!" :)
Okene is the birthplace of American Hockey League player and National Hockey League prospect Akim Aliu. People in Okene are predominantly ebira. Inhabitants of the areas northeast and southwest of the confluence of the Niger and Benue rivers in central Nigeria. Their language is usually classified as a Nupoid variety within the Benue-Congo branch of the Niger-Congo language family.
The two main habitats within the Igbira area are a dense, deciduous forest along the Niger and Benue rivers and a hilly savanna region away from the rivers. Most Igbira have traditionally engaged in agriculture; they grow mainly yams but also such crops as beans, millet, and corn (maize). The rivers are used for both fishing and transport. Women do most of the trading and sell both their own and their husbands' produce.
Igbira households were traditionally based on extended families composed of close patrilineal relatives under the authority of the oldest male member. Inheritance and clan membership were reckoned patrilineally. Igbira could marry outside their clans, which were kinship groups represented by totemic animals such as the lion, the crocodile, the leopard, and the python. A key institution of social control was the iregba, a shrine where decisions on religious matters or social offenses were made.
Groups of Igbira villages (wards) drew their chiefs in alternation from branches of ruling families. Village councils could settle disputes, sometimes in collaboration with the chiefs or with councils of other villages involved in the cases. The specifics of chief selection or succession varied between areas within the Igbira region. The Igbira kingdoms of Panda and Koton Karifi were small independent states for about 100 years, until their conquest in the mid-19th century by the Fulani. British administration through traditional rulers began in the early 20th century.
The traditional beliefs of the Igbira centre on Hinegba, the supreme god, who is benevolent, resides in the sky, and controls the universe. Hinegba is approached through intermediary spirits, who are connected with such natural objects as trees. Igbira ancestors are also viewed as agents of Hinegba. Since the early 20th century many Igbira have been converted to Islam and Christianity.
