In August 991, Ealdorman Byrhtnoth and his English ‘levies’ met a Viking force that had first sacked Ipswich. Details of the battle are provided by the old English Poem ‘The Battle of Maldon with survives in an eighteenth century transcription.
The Vikings had presumably beached their long ships on the Northsea Island and attempted to cross to the mainland by the causeway.
Byrhtnoth chivalrously allowed them to cross before attacking them. Things did not go well – Byrthnoth was slain and though his men fought on to the last – they were defeated.

The Delaware Trust Building, a Classical Revival style commercial/office tower, stands prominently at the northeast corner of E. 9th and N. Market Streets. The building is significant under National Register criterion "C" in the area of architecture for its outstanding example of the Classical Revival style with Renaissance elements in the local context, and as a major work by the architecture firm of Dennison and Hirons, with later large additions modeled after the original design. The period of significance begins in 1921 with the completion of the construction of the Delaware Trust Building and ends in 1930 with the construction of the wings that completed the U-shaped plan.
The National Trust is a heritage and nature conservation charity and membership organisation in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The Trust was founded in 1895 by Octavia Hill, Sir Robert Hunter and Hardwicke Rawnsley to "promote the permanent preservation for the benefit of the Nation of lands and tenements (including buildings) of beauty or historic interest". It has since been given statutory powers, starting with the National Trust Act 1907. Historically, the Trust acquired land by gift and sometimes by public subscription and appeal, but after World War II the loss of country houses resulted in many such properties being acquired either by gift from the former owners or through the National Land Fund.
One of the largest landowners in the United Kingdom, the Trust owns almost 250,000 hectares (620,000 acres; 2,500 km2; 970 sq mi) of land and 780 miles (1,260 km) of coast. Its properties include more than 500 historic houses, castles, archaeological and industrial monuments, gardens, parks, and nature reserves. Most properties are open to the public for a charge (members have free entry), while open spaces are free to all. The Trust had an annual income of nearly £724 million in 2023/24, largely from membership subscriptions, donations and legacies, direct property income, profits from its shops and restaurants, and investments. It also receives grants from a variety of organisations including other charities, government departments, local authorities, and the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
Stourhead is famous for once housing the most magnificent Pelargonium collection on the planet. The National Trust is now trying to restore as many varieties as possible. The Pelargonium House itself is gorgeous to any Horticulturalist!

Stella was in dogs trust for 6 weeks, in this time I fell in love with her. She had a terrible skin condition which has now fully cleared up after living in a comfortable home and eating a good diet! Stella brightens up my world, she is always so happy to greet us and loves going out for walks which gets me out of the house and exercising. How can you resist that waggy tail which brings a smile to your face no matter what kind of day you have had!
