Tuesday 22 November 2016, saw local Greater Manchester Police officers join HMP Manchester Community Team in a visit to St. Edward’s RC Priamry School in Lees, Oldham as part of the ‘Actions Have Consequences’ campaign.
‘Actions Have Consequences’ workshops inform pupils on how their actions can affect them and their local community and the negative outcomes that could occur if they were to stray off the beaten track.
Subjects include nuisance 999 calls, bullying, anti-social behaviour, stranger danger, internet safety as well as others. Although the workshops carry a serious message, they are structured to be fun, informative and engaging.
The HMP Community Team gave the young people an idea of the harsh reality of prison life and the dangers of knife and gang-related crime.

You should call 101, the new national non-emergency number, to report crime and other concerns that do not require an emergency response.
Always call 999 in an emergency, such as when a crime is in progress, violence is being used or threatened or where there is danger to life.
You can also call anonymously with information about crime to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
A hearse, police car, ambulance and taxi lined up along Piccadilly Gardens to remind revellers of the consequences of their decisions.
The vehicles took their place at the busy city centre location on ‘Mad Friday’ to encourage those going out on the busiest night of the year to make responsible choices whilst enjoying the festivities.
Three hundred thousand people are expected to visit the city centre this weekend, and extra officers will be out on patrol throughout to ensure the night is fun and safe for all. Officers will also be patrolling the roads looking for drink drivers.
Chief Superintendent John O’Hare from Greater Manchester Police’s Specialist Operations, said: “Our officers will be on duty throughout the holiday period to ensure people have a safe and peaceful Christmas. However, I urge everyone to consider how they plan to spend their festive period – nobody wants to end up in a police car, ambulance or – in the worst instance – a hearse.
“We want people to come out and enjoy themselves but ask that they take personal responsibility. Alcohol can have devastating consequences and one thoughtless act after too much alcohol can end violently and tragically. Often people don’t realise what they are doing when they have had a drink and it is those split-second actions that result in devastating life-long consequences.
“No police officer wants to have to deliver the message that a loved one has died in an alcohol-fuelled fight or been killed or seriously injured at the hands of a drink or drug driver. Or where they have been the driver deliver the news of their tragic death.
“If you’re out tonight then please look after yourself and your friends. Know your limits, control your temper, walk away from trouble and make sure the only vehicle taking you home tonight is a taxi.”
Steve Hynes, Greater Manchester Head of Service, North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust, said: “We are currently receiving an unprecedented amount of 999 calls. The festive season is always an extremely busy time for the emergency services and is set to place even more demand on our resources this year.
“We want to encourage the public to consider the seriousness associated with this time of year, especially in the week before Christmas. Our staff see first-hand the devastating affect alcohol-related incidents can cause - in some instances, it can result in death.
“Ultimately, we want people to have a safe, enjoyable festive season but it can all change quickly, so please consider your actions as the implications may be life-changing.”

Women-Centered Perspectives (Contemporary Issues in Biomedicine, Ethics, and Society)
Women most fully experience the consequences of human reproductive technologies. Men who convene to evaluate such technologies discuss "them": the women who must accept, avoid, or even resist these technologies; the women who consume technologies they did not devise; the women who are the objects of policies made by men. So often the input of women is neither sought nor listened to. The privileged insights and perspectives that women bring to the consideration of technologies in human reproduction are the subject of these volumes, which constitute the revised and edited record of a Workshop on "Ethical Issues in Human Reproduction Technology: Analysis by Women" (EIRTAW), held in June, 1979, at Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts. Some 80 members of the workshop, 90 percent of them women (from 24 states), represented diverse occupations and personal histories, different races and classes, varied political commitments. They included doctors, nurses, and scientists, lay midwives, consumer advocates, historians, and sociologists, lawyers, policy analysts, and ethicists. Each session, however, made plain that ethics is an everyday concern for women in general, as well as an academic profession for some.

Highway 25 in New Mexico carried us from Albuquerque to Las Cruces on our road trip to Tucson Arizona. The highway provided beautiful views of sky, clouds, and Rocky Mountains as it passed through a town with an unusual history to go along with its unusual name: Truth or Consequences. The town is named after a television game show that was popular in the U.S. in 1950. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth_or_Consequences,_New_Mexico) I couldn't resist spending a half hour driving through town to admire its historic section which looks much like what one sees in cowboy films of the west.
Truth or Consequences is not a large town and near the highway one finds the usual modern gas stations and fast food outlets, but my interest was the historical downtown district. We pulled over for me to take a couple of photos and then realized we were in front of the Visitor's Information Center. I stepped inside to get a bit of information about the town's history and was greeted by a friendly woman at the desk who said she was originally from Minnesota. She was eager to supply me with a bit of information and I noted that she was struggling to walk to the display rack for a brochure. When I expressed concern, she said the space heater didn't reach her desk and the cold was aggravating what I assume was the arthritis that may have prompted her move to the desert climate.
As we were talking this man came through the door carrying a large box which turned out to be an additional space heater which I could tell was a welcome delivery. He was dressed in traditional western wear and my stranger antenna was sparking the moment he entered with his black, western hat and friendly face. I introduced myself and my project immediately and explained that while his western hat may be everyday attire in Truth or Consequences, it was not in Toronto where I come from. We shook hands. Meet Jimmy.
Needless to say, Jimmy was surprised by my request to photograph him for my project, but more than willing. The Information Center was an older building and had a bay window with blinds which I quickly noted would serve as a good location for the portrait. The information lady began opening the blinds but I suggested having them closed would be better for the photo but if she needed the warmth of the sunlight, I would open them for her as soon as the photo was taken.
Jimmy explained that he works for the city, hence his delivering the heater to the Information Center. "So, are you from Truth or Consequences?" I asked. He smiled. "Pretty much." He told me he is 53. He had a warm manner but I could tell he was a man of few words - especially with a complete stranger. I commented that 53 seemed young to me, especially since I just turned 70 a week ago. He smiled and was kind enough to say "Boy, you sure don't look it." After that comment, I consider Jimmy a friend indeed.
I'm sure Jimmy had places to be and we still had miles to go before reaching Tucson so we parted with a friendly handshake and I signed the guest register for the Information Center before leaving.
Thanks for the information about the area and thank you Jimmy for allowing me to photograph you for The Human Family Group.

Thousands of young people will be brought face-to-face with the horrific aftermath of a road traffic collision as part of a brand new road safety initiative, ‘Safe Drive Stay Alive’.
The project is the first of its kind in Greater Manchester and uses real people, including emergency service staff and family members of those lost in collisions, to tell their own personal stories of tragedy and loss.
Students from across Greater Manchester will attend one of 14 performances taking place at Middleton Arena where they’ll be greeted with a party atmosphere before being hit with the harrowing and hard-hitting consequences of driving dangerously.
Greater Manchester Police, Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service, North West Ambulance Service, Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust’s Major Trauma Coordinator’s, the prison service and Drivesafe have joined forces to launch the project and hope it will help reduce the number of young lives being lost on the roads of Greater Manchester.
In the last 10 years (2003-2013), there were 232 young driver related deaths in Greater Manchester. This figure includes young people and people killed by a young driver.
The average cost of young driver collisions in 2011-2013 was more than £72 million per year, which accounts for a quarter of Greater Manchester’s casualty costs.
Young people are more at risk of being involved in a collision, despite a smaller proportion of them holding a driving licence.
Inspector Matt Bailey-Smith from Greater Manchester Police’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit said: “Road safety isn’t a subject to be taken lightly and Safe Drive Stay Alive uses an emotive and hard-hitting approach to make young people sit up and think about the consequences of their decisions.
“It’s easy to switch off when looking at a poster or watching an advert but the impact of a parent stood in front of you talking about the loss of their son or daughter takes it to another level and will make even the most hardened of young people think twice about their actions”.
Dean, Dee and Hannah Wilson lost their 21-year-old son and brother when he crashed into a tree in 2010 and will be sharing their personal stories at Safe Drive Stay Alive. They said: "Although emotionally very difficult, as a family we feel a certain sense of pride in being
invited to be part of Safe Drive Stay Alive. Through our volunteering, our very simple hope is to prevent other families from suffering such a profound loss. In doing this we feel some good will come from the loss of our Matt."
Sister Karen Higham-Deakin, Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust’s Senior Major Trauma Coordinator said: “Working in the Emergency Department I’ve seen countless numbers of lives destroyed every year through dangerous or careless driving. It’s important to remember that collisions don’t just affect the victim who loses their life or sustains life changing injuries.
“As an experienced health professional helping to care for the victims of road accidents, I am still often deeply affected by the cases that I see so I can only imagine how completely devastating this is for the family and friends of the young person who has been involved in the incident.”
Chair of Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Authority, Councillor David Acton, said: "Learning to drive opens up a sense of freedom and opportunity for young people. It also comes with a huge responsibility of keeping themselves, their passengers and other road users safe from becoming casualties.
“The vast majority of young drivers take this responsibility very seriously, and become safe and considerate drivers. However, through lack of experience or peer pressure, too many are still involved in collisions involving fatalities and life changing injuries. Our emergency response crews are all too often dealing with devastating scenes where young people lose their lives.
“Safe Drive Stay Alive will play a vital role in demonstrating to thousands of young people across the county the consequences of risk taking whilst on the roads.
“We are delighted that our colleges have committed to attending, and applaud the bravery of all of our speakers, particularly those family members who will be talking to students about the true impact of losing someone they love in a road traffic collision."
Karen Delaney from Drivesafe said: “Young drivers and passengers in Greater Manchester are at a disproportionately high risk of being killed or seriously injured as a result of road traffic collisions. The Safe Drive Stay Alive project, funded through the Greater Manchester Casualty Reduction Partnership aims at reducing these risks through a powerful mature performance through thought provoking real scenario’s about consequences and posing preventative measures. Decision making skills are an essential part of being a safe road user”.
Steve Hynes, Greater Manchester Head of Service, North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust, welcomed the initiative saying, “Young drivers are much more likely to be involved in a crash on our roads often due to inexperience and lack of knowledge of the risks. Paramedics see first-hand the horrific devastation accidents like this cause and the ongoing effects it has on the people involved and their families, for some, Christmases and birthdays are never the same again.
“This initiative is an excellent way of educating people about the dangers, providing them with a taste of the harsh reality of speeding, together with accurate and suitable information in order to make an informed choice about how they decide to drive”.
Singer-songwriter Mike Dignam has leant his support to the project and his song, Beautiful Tragedy will be played during the performance as well as being offered as a free download to students. He said: "I feel very privileged and humbled to have been asked to be involved in such an important and significant campaign aimed at young people effected by, or involved with, road traffic accidents. It's a fantastic initiative and something that resonates with me, as growing up both my parents were in the road safety police so I know how impactful these accidents can be."

This was meant to take on the world this was, but sadly it didn’t get very far! The Rover 800 had so many possibilities, so many variants could have been derived from it, but unfortunately the management was once again very quick to nip this beautiful car in the bud, and the Rover 800 would join that long line of ‘what-could-have-been’ motors that seem to pave British motoring history.
The origin of the Rover 800 goes back to the late 1970’s, when nationalised British car manufacturer and all around general failure British Leyland was absolutely desperate to fix its seemingly endless list of problems. The company had now garnered a reputation for creating some of the worst, most outdated cars of all time, the likes of the Morris Marina, the Austin Allegro and the Triumph TR7 being derided in both critical and customer reviews. A mixture of strike action by uncontrollable Trade Unions led by the infamous Red Robbo had meant that cars were only put together for a few hours per day on a three day week. As such, reliability was atrocious on a biblical scale, be it mechanical, cosmetic or electrical.
As such, in 1979, British Leyland began talks with Japanese car manufacturer Honda to try and help improve the reliability of their machines. The pioneer of this brave new deal was the Triumph Acclaim of 1980, BL’s first reliable car and not a bad little runabout. Basically a rebadged Honda Ballade, the Acclaim wasn’t meant to set the world ablaze, but it certainly helped get the company back onto people’s driveways, selling reasonably well thanks to its reliable mechanics (even if rust was something of an issue). As such, BL decided that from now on it would give its fleet a complete overhaul, basing their new models on Japanese equivalents. From 1984, the Rover 200 arrived on the scene, again, a rebadged Honda Ballade, while the Maestro and the Montego ranges also took on several tips from their Japanese counterparts, though they were primarily based on British underpinnings.
The Rover 800 however spawned quite early on, in 1981 to be exact. Following the catastrophic failure of the Rover SD1 in the American market, which only sold 774 cars before Rover removed itself from the USA altogether, the company was desperate to get another foothold across the pond. As such, the new project, dubbed project XX, would be the icing on the cake in terms of British Leyland’s fleet overhaul, a smooth and sophisticated executive saloon to conquer the world. However, plans were pushed back after the launch of the Montego and the Maestro, and thus project XX wouldn’t see the light of day again until about 1984.
Still in production and suffering from being long-in-the-tooth, the Rover SD1 was now coming up on 10 years old, and though a sublime car in terms of style and performance, it was now struggling in sales. Rover really needed to replace this golden oldie, and thus project XX was back on. In the usual fashion, Honda was consulted, and it was decided that the car would be based on that company’s own executive saloon, the Honda Legend. Jointly developed at Rover’s Cowley plant and Honda’s Tochigi development centre, both cars shared the same core structure and floorplan, but they each had their own unique exterior bodywork and interior. Under the agreement, Honda would supply the V6 petrol engine, both automatic and manual transmissions and the chassis design, whilst BL would provide the 4-cylinder petrol engine and much of the electrical systems. The agreement also included that UK-market Honda Legends would be built at the Cowley Plant, and the presence of the Legend in the UK would be smaller than that of the Rover 800, with profits from the 800 shared between the two companies.
Launched on July 10th, 1986, the Rover 800 was welcomed with warm reviews regarding its style, its performance and its reliability. Though driving performance was pretty much the same as the Honda Legend, what put the Rover above its Japanese counterpart was its sheer internal elegance and beauty, combined with a differing external design that borrowed cues from the outgoing SD1. The 800 also provided the company with some much-needed optimism, especially following the gradual breakup of British Leyland by the Thatcher Government between 1980 and 1986.
Following her election in 1979, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher took a no nonsense attitude to the striking unions, and the best form of defence was attack. To shave millions from the deficit, she reduced government spending on nationalised companies such as British Airways, British Coal Board, British Steel and British Leyland by selling them to private ownership. For British Leyland, the slow breakup of the company started with the sale of Leyland Trucks and Buses to DAF of Holland and Volvo, respectively. 1984 saw Jaguar made independent and later bought by Ford, but when rumours circulated that the remains of British Leyland would be sold to foreign ownership, share prices crashed, and the company was privatised and put into the hands of British Aerospace on the strict understanding that the company could not be sold again for four years. With this move, British Leyland was renamed Rover Group, the Austin badge being dropped, and the only remaining brands left being the eponymous Rover and sporty MG.
In the light of this tumultuous period, many of Rover and MG’s projects had to be scrapped in light of turbulent share prices and income, these projects including the Austin AR16 family car range (based largely off the Rover 800) and the MG EX-E supercar. The Rover 800 however was the first model to be released by the company following privatisation, and doing well initially in terms of sales, hopes were high that the Rover 800 would herald the end of the company’s troubled spell under British Leyland. The Rover 800 was planned to spearhead multiple Rover ventures, including a return to the US-market in the form of the Sterling, and a coupe concept to beat the world, the sublime Rover CCV.
However, British Leyland may have been gone, but their management and its incompetence remained. Rather than taking the formation of Rover Group as a golden opportunity to clean up the company’s act, to the management it was business as usual, and the Rover 800 began to suffer as a consequence. A lack of proper quality control and a cost-cutting attitude meant that despite all the Japanese reliability that had been layered on these machines in the design stage, the cars were still highly unreliable when they left the factory.
Perhaps the biggest sentiment to the 800’s failure was the Sterling in America. The Sterling had been named as such due to Rover’s reputation being tarnished by the failure of the unreliable SD1. Initial sales were very promising with the Sterling, a simple design with oodles of luxury that was price competitive with family sedan’s such as the Ford LTD and the Chevy Caprice. However, once the problems with reliability and quality began to rear their heads, sales plummeted and the Sterling very quickly fell short of its sales quota, only selling 14,000 of the forecast 30,000 cars per annum. Sales dropped year by year until eventually the Sterling brand was axed in 1991.
With the death of the Sterling came the death of the CCV, a luxury motor that had already won over investors in both Europe and the USA. The fantastic design that had wooed the American market and was ready to go on sale across the States was axed unceremoniously in 1987, and with it any attempt to try and capture the American market ever again.
In 1991, Rover Group, seeing their sales were still tumbling, and with unreliable callbacks to British Leyland like the Maestro and Montego still on sale, the company decided to have yet another shakeup to try and refresh its image. The project, dubbed R17, went back to the company’s roots of grand old England, and the Rover 800 was the first to feel its touch. The R17 facelift saw the 800’s angular lines smoothed with revised light-clusters, a low-smooth body, and the addition of a grille, attempting to harp back to the likes of the luxurious Rover P5 of the 1960’s. Engines were also updated, with the previous M16 Honda engine being replaced by a crisp 2.0L T16, which gave the car some good performance. The car was also made available in a set of additional ranges, including a coupe and the sport Vitesse, complete with a higher performance engine.
Early reviews of the R17 800 were favourable, many critics lauding its design changes and luxurious interior, especially given its price competitiveness against comparable machines such as the Vauxhall Omega and the Ford Mondeo. Even Jeremy Clarkson, a man who fervently hated Rover and everything it stood for, couldn’t help but give it a good review on Top Gear. However, motoring critics were quick to point out the fact that by this time Honda was really starting to sell heavily in the UK and Europe, and people now asked themselves why they’d want to buy the Rover 800, a near carbon-copy of the Honda Legend, for twice the price but equal performance. Wood and leather furnishings are very nice, but not all motorists are interested in that, some are just interested in a reliable and practical machine to run around in.
As such, the Rover 800’s sales domestically were very good, it becoming the best-selling car in the UK for 1992, but in Europe not so much. Though Rover 800’s did make it across the Channel, the BMW 5-Series and other contemporary European models had the market sown up clean, and the Rover 800 never truly made an impact internationally. On average, the car sold well in the early 1990’s, but as time went on the car’s place in the market fell to just over 10,000 per year by 1995. Rover needed another shake-up, and the Rover 75 did just that.
In 1994, Rover Group was sold to BMW, and their brave new star to get the company back in the good books of the motoring public was the Rover 75, an executive saloon to beat the world. With this new face in the company’s showrooms, the Rover 800 and its 10 year old design was put out to grass following its launch in 1998. Selling only around 6,500 cars in its final full year of production, the Rover 800 finished sales in 1999 and disappeared, the last relic of the British Leyland/Honda tie up from the 1980’s.
Today the Rover 800 finds itself under a mixed reception. While some argue that it was the last true Rover before the BMW buyout, others will fervently deride it as a Honda with a Rover badge, a humiliation of a Rover, and truly the point where the company lost its identity. I personally believe it to be a magnificent car, a car with purpose, a car with promise, but none of those promises fulfilled. It could have truly been the face of a new Rover in the late 1980’s, and could have returned the company to the front line of the motoring world, at least in Britain. But sadly, management incompetence won again for the British motor industry, and the Rover 800 ended its days a lukewarm reminder that we really didn’t know a good thing until it was gone.

Military Geneology has Herbert born Guestwick, while Roll of Honour has Age 21 in 1914 living in E Barsham in 1901
On the 1901 Gensus there is a Herbert George, aged 7, born Swanton Morley, who is recorded at “The Cottage near the Bridge”, East Barsham, in the district of Walsingham. This is the household of his parents, Walter, (aged 34 and a Gardener from Streatham, Surrey) and Mary Ann, (aged 36 and from Colton). They also have a daughter, Mildred M, aged 5, born Swanton Morley. Their address seems to put them very near East Barshan Hall, at least on the Census page, so possibly Walter was employed in the grounds.
On the 1901 census there is also a Herbert Baker, aged 16 and a Butcher who was born Stiffkey. He is recorded at Wells Road, Stiffkey, in the District of Walsingham. This is the household of his parents, Charles, (aged 54 and a Fish Hawker from Stiffkey), and Rebecca, (aged 54 and from Stiffkey). Their other children are:-
George………..aged 12.……….born Stiffkey
John J…………aged 18.……….born Stiffkey…..Blacksmith
Osborn………..aged 14.……….born Stiffley…..Bricklayers Labourer
Only Herbert George appears to be on the 1911 census, and is still recorded in the District of Walsingham, along with parents Walter and Mary Ann and sister Mildred.
Given the above, and that father Walter appears to be either itinerant or in demand, then this individual becomes a possibility- right age, right fathers names and mothers first initials. In addition there doesn’t appear to be a Herbert living in Shipdham on the 1901 census, while on the 1911 census, there are two, but one was born circa 1902 at Yaham, and the other circa 1905 at Harringey, London.

The Cologne cemetery was used during the war to bury PoW’s who died in captivity, and after the war it was chosen as the principal cemetery to consolidate the graves of those who had died all over Germany. However, post the armistice, it was also used for the burial of members of the Army of Occupation. Who died. As John doesn’t appear to be on the Roll of Honour for those who died as PoW;s it’s a working assumption that his death came into the latter category.

The 4 year old Percy, born Binham, is recorded on the 1901 census at “Near the Cross” Binham, This is the household of his parents, Sidney, (aged 31 and a Grocer & Draper from Notting Hill, London), and Louisa, (aged 28 and from Burnham.). They also have daughters Sybil, (aged 1, born Binham), and Vera, (aged 3, born Binham). The Curson’s also have a live in servant.
Percy probably died of wounds received in the 9th Battalions first and disastrous taste of action on the 26th September.
The 9th (Service) Battalion was formed at Norwich in September 1914 as part of K3, Kitcheners Third Army. In September 1914 it was attached to the 71st Brigade, 24th Division. The Battalion was assembled around Shoreham during September 1914 and it then spent 11 months in training after formation. Uniforms, equipment and blankets were slow in arriving and they initially wore emergency blue uniforms and carried dummy weapons. The battalion crossed to France between 28th August and 4th September 1915 where they joined X1 Corps and were sent up the line for the developing Battle of Loos. They disembarked at Boulogne almost 1000 strong, but 8 days later were reduced to 16 officers and 555 other ranks. The battalion lost a total of 1,019 men killed during the First World War. It marched from Montcarrel on the 21st September reaching Bethune on the 25th, before moving up to Lonely Tree Hill south of the La Basée Canal. They formed up for an attack in support of 11th Essex but were not engaged. At 03:30 on 26th September orders were received to assist 2nd Brigade on an attack on quarries west of Hulluch. At 05:30 the Battalion were in what had, the day before, been the German front trenches. The attack was launched at 06:45 under heavy fire, especially from snipers, after a full night of marching on empty stomachs and little or no progress was made before the Norfolks sought cover in the trenches. At 16:00 2nd Battalion of the Worcestershire Regiment passed through to attack. At 19:00 the Germans opened fire and the Norfolks were forced to fall back to trenches in the rear to take cover before being relieved by the Grenadier Guards whereupon they returned to Lonely Tree Hill. They had lost 5 officers killed and 9 wounded, with 39 other ranks killed, 122 wounded and 34 missing, a total of 209 casualties sustained in their first action

The only obvious Alfred Flegg of the 5 listed on the Genes Reunited Transciption of the 1901 Census for England and Wales was already aged 36. He was born Little Walsingham, (although could as easily read Gt Walsingham), was single, employed as an Agricultural Labourer, and was recorded at Swan Entry, Little Walsingham,. This was the household of his widowed mother, Phoebe , (aged 77 and from Wighton), plus a Mary Wright, (aged 34 and from Wighton), who has three children including a 1 year old Alfred Wright, (born Little Walsingham). This is speculation on my part but if Alfred the Labourer married Mary Wright, then his step-children may well have taken his surname, and so this could be the Alfred Flegg we are looking for.
Going on to the 1911 census, we do indeed have an Alfred John Flegg, born circa 1900, Little Walsingham, and still recorded in the Walsingham District., living in a household that includes an Alfred (born Great Walsingham) and a Mary Maria Flegg, (born Wighton)
Throughout the latter part of August 1918 the 2nd battalion Essex Regiment (12th Brigade, 4th Division) had been involved in pushing the Germans back to the Drocourt-Queant Line (“Wotanstellung”). This trench was part of the Hindenburg Line and is located halfway between Arras and Cambrai. On the night of 1st September 1918 the 2nd Essex pushed on taking more German trenches with little difficulty but they were then halted by withering machine gun fire which kept them pinned down for several hours.

HMT Royal Edward, 11,117 grt, sunk 13th August 1915 by German submarine SMU UB14, 6 miles W from Kandeliusa, Aegean Sea, carrying goverment stores from Avonmouth & Alexandria to Mudros. Owned by Canadian Northern Steamships Ltd-Toronto. 132 crew died. Out of a total compliment of 1586 (crew and troops) less than 500 were saved.
1/Essex lost 174 O.R's, but 172 of them were volunteers who'd transfer from the Norfolk's (3rd Special Reserve) based at Felixstowe, 100 on 23 June and 200 on 24 July.
A passage from the History of Norfolk Regiment tells the rest of the story: Colonel Tonge refers to the loss of 300 men, the best draft that ever left Felixstowe. These men volunteered to join the Essex Regiment and appear to have constituted the drafts of June 23 and July 24 1915. They were part of the reinforcements carried by the transport "Royal Edward" which was torpedoed and sunk in the Aegean Sea on August 14th 1915. She sank two and a half minutes after the torpedo struck her.Of the 1,400 men she carried only 600 were saved,and the drowned included all but 18 of the 300 Norfolk men. The men who had had a route march just before leaving Alexandria, were waiting on deck for foot inspection at about 9.20 am. Their lifebelts were down below, and when the ship was unexpectedly struck most of them ran below to fetch the belts. Owing to the ship's sudden heeling over and sinking, these never got up again. Those who escaped were picked up by a hospital ship which responded to the s.o.s. signal. To partly replace this sad loss, another draft of 150 men to the Essex Regiment was dispatched on September 29, 1915. Addenda 1994 From: "Men of Gallipoli"(David & Charles,1988) by kind permission of the publishers. One of the features of the Cape Helles monument is the rows of names of men drowned in the torpedoing of the Royal Edward,which sank in the Eastern Mediterranean on 13th August with a loss of over 850 lives.A.T.Fraser in the Border Regiment,was in a deckchair on the afterdeck starboard side when suddenly dozens of men ran past him from port to starboard. The explosion came before he had time to ask what was the matter."The ship had no escort and we had not been ordered to have our life-belts with us.The hundreds on deck ran below to get their life-belts and hundreds below would have met them on their way up.I shared a cabin accessible from the deck I was on and I raced there to get my life-belt and ran to my life-boat station which was on the star- board side.As the men arrived they fell in two ranks. Already the ship was listing and this prevented our boats from being lowered,so we were ordered to jump for it.I saw no panic,but of course one could imagine what was happening on the inside stairs. I swam away from the ship and turned to see the funnels leaning towards me.When they reached the sea,all the soot was belched out,there was a loud whoosh and the ship sank. No explosion,no surge.So I was alone.The little waves were such that in the trough you saw nothing,on the crest you saw a few yards.The water was warm.I wondered if there were sharks". Fraser found some wood to rest on and he was joined by a seaman,an older man who had twice previously been torpedoed.This brought the young Scot confidence.An up turned Royal Edward lifeboat was to provide 17 of the survivors with a little more security though in what Fraser calls half-hourly recurring turbulence,the boat turned over,offering them conventional but completely waterlogged accommodation every alternate half hour but at least providing them with something to do.There was no singing and little conversation. The first ship that passed hailed the scattered men and promised to signal for help. It could not stop as it had high explosives for Lemnos. Some of the men became depressed and showed unwillingness to clamber back in the life boat when it overturned,but on each occasion all were persuaded. Finally the hospital ship SOUDAIN arrived to pick them up in her life-boats,and at 2 o'clock Fraser was safely aboard her after just under five hours in the sea. He remembers that"a large number of men lost their false teeth as we were constantly sick in the sea- and these men were sent back to England.We the younger ones,were clothed and kitted and on another ship three days later for Gallipoli

CWGC: www.cwgc.org/search/casualty_details.aspx?casualty=402551
However, Norlink has a picture of a Francis William Hayler, 2nd Bedfordshire Regiment.
norlink.norfolk.gov.uk/02_Catalogue/02_013_PictureTitleIn...
The accompanying notes read
Francis William Hayler, 2nd Bedfords (War Office Khartoum). Born at Spalding, Lincs, April 27 1878. Educated at Walsingham Grammar School. Enlisted Dec 13 1895. Died from a disease contracted in the Sudan, Jan 31 1918. Buried at parish church, Chiswick.
This individual does not appears on the CWGC database. A check of Chiswick cemeteries in the same database shows there are three. One contains civilian war dead from WW2 only. One was opened after the Great War and the only CWGC maintained graves come from WW2. The old, urban cemetery which is shared with a parish church has 69 graves maintained by the CWGC. None of these are for an individual with a similar sounding surname, (Tayler, Mayler, etc), there are no Francis William’s, (in case he changed his name for whatever reason or used an alias), there is no-one from either unit listed - 2nd Bedfords or War Office Khartoum, and there is no-one who died on the 31/01/1918.
The death of a Francis Hayler, aged 39, was recorded in Brentford in the January to March 1918.
I suspect therefore, as I’ve found with other individuals, that Francis had been discharged prior to death, and while the CWGC probably does maintain his grave, by some bureaucratic rule he is not included on the published CWGC database,
On further investigation, my original thought, F C Hayler is definitely ruled out as he is a Frederick Charles who was born Broadbridge Heath, which is close to where he was buried.
Francis doesn’t appear to be on the 1901 census - presumably because he had already enlisted and was serving overseas, The 2nd Bedfords arrived at Cape Town with 12 Brigade of 6 Division on January 8, 1900. The first thing they did in accordance with Lord Roberts' call for more mounted men was to form two mounted infantry companies.
www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~engbdf/Military/BedsRegtinBoer...
However he doesn’t appear to be on the 1891 or the 1881 census - he certainly seems a man able to disappear from official records ! There also don’t appear to be any Hayler’s recorded in Spalding or Walsingham.

Going back to the 1891 census, Ellen and Lily are at Malt House Yard, Wighton, along with another daughter, Mary Jane, who was then aged 5. Ellen is still head of the household, but is described as wife of a sailor away from home.
The baptism of John James took place at All Saints, Wighton, on the 22nd January 1893. Unfortunately no date of birth is listed. However parents names are listed as Robert Edward and Ellen, with Roberts occupation being listed as Labourer. The baptism of Lily Elizabeth took place in the same church, but her fathers occupation is then listed as “Tailor” - perhaps a transcription error !
In the battalion war diary for the period, the location of the battalion is given as in the trenches opposite the quarries. The Battalion was engaged in the Battle of Loos, which some sources show as ending on the 18th October. The Quarries may also be the same location where the 9th Battalion had its baptism of fire on the 26th September, (see Percival Curson).
The period from the 16th to the 18th is bracketed together with the note that “During these days, nothing of much importance happened, except how shelling continued with much vigour on both sides. A further draft of 17 NCO’s received on the 16th, and on the 17th 146 NCO’s and men joined. Our line was breached in three places but was soon repaired.”
At 5pm on the 18th, there is an additional note. Brigade Bombers took line (poss) of the QUARRIES. This was consolidated by the ESSEX REGT.

As an aside - Lord Blythswood was certainly an interesting character - perhaps not so much for re-invigorating the Conservative Party in Scotland as his contributions to science, both as an amateur scientist in his own right, but also in the Laboratory that he funded at the ancestral home of Blythswood House and made available to the fledgling science of Nuclear Physics.

The 15 year old “Jessie” Mann is recorded , born Walsingham, working as a General Domestic Servant at The Red House, Holkham, (the head of the household is described as Lodging House Proprietor, so presume that was what The Red House was). Going back to the 1891 census, we find Jesse recorded at Knight Street, Little Walsingham. This is the household of his widower grandfather, William, a carpenter from Little Walsingham. Unfortunately, for most of the family their ages are heavily scored, so all I can tell you is that Williams children were all born Little Walsingham and in age order were Rosannah, (a charwoman), William, (aged 14 and a Bricklayers Boy), and Daisy. William also has a grand-daughter, Edith, living with him, who is presumably Jesse‘s sister.

Nothing obvious on the 1901 census. The 1901 census has a Samuel James, born “Norfolk” circa 1885, and now recorded in the District of Westminster,
Samuel does appear on the 1891 census, but as part of an entry that has been carried over from the previous page. While it tells us that he was living at The Market Place, Little Walsingham,and the son of the head of household, there are no details about who the head of the household was. There are three other children shown, but they are listed as grand-children of the head of the household. The writing is far from clear, but they appear to be William Pigg\Pegg\Page, and his sister Clara, and brother Henry.

Ash is a large village, now almost a town, now bypassed by the Canterbury to Sandwich road.
St Nicholas is a large church, and sits on a low mound above the High Street and houses.
The church itself is cruciform in shape, and previously stated, large.
It is furnished with serval monuments and brasses, all of a very high standard.
--------------------------------------------
A large and impressive church of mainly thirteenth century date over restored in 1847 by the irrepressible William Butterfield. The scale of the interior is amazing - particularly in the tower crossing arches which support the enormous spire. They are an obvious insertion into an earlier structure. The best furnishing at Ash is the eighteenth century font which stands on an inscribed base. For the visitor interested in memorials, Ash ahs more than most ranging from the fourteenth century effigy of a knight to two excellent alabaster memorials to Sir Thomas Harfleet (d 1612) and Christopher Toldervy (d 1618). Mrs Toldervy appears twice in the church for she accompanies her husband on his memorial and may also be seen as a `weeper` on her parents` memorial! On that she is one of two survivors of what was once a group of seven daughters - all her weeping brothers have long since disappeared.

ASH
LIES adjoining to the last-described parish of Staple northward. It is written in Domesday, Ece, and in other antient records, Aisse, and is usually called Ash, near Sandwich, to distinguish it from Ash, near Wrotham.
The parish of Ash is very large, extending over a variety of soil and country, of hill, dale, and marsh lands, near four miles across each way, and containing more than six thousand acres of land, of which about one half is marsh, the river Stour being its northern bounday, where it is very wet and unwholesone, but the southern or upland part of the parish is very dary, pleasant and healthy. The soil in general is fertile, and lets on an average at about one pound an acre; notwithstanding, there is a part of it about Ash-street and Gilton town, where it is a deep sand. The village of Ash, commonly called Ash-street, situated in this part of it, on high ground, mostly on the western declivity of a hill, having the church on the brow of it, is built on each side of the road from Canterbury to Sandwich, and contains about fifty houses. On the south side of this road, about half a mile westward, is a Roman burial ground, of which further mention will be taken hereaster, and adjoining to it the hamlet of Gilton town, formerly written Guildanton, in which is Gilton parsonage, a neat stuccoed house, lately inhabited by Mr. Robert Legrand, and now by Mrs. Becker. In the valley southward stands Mote farm, alias Brooke house, formerly the habitation of the Stoughtons, then of the Ptoroude's and now the property of Edward Solly, esq. of London.
There are dispersed throughout this large parish many small hamlets and farms, which have been formerly of more consequence, from the respective owners and in habitants of them, all which, excepting East and New Street, and Great Pedding, (the latter of which was the antient residence of the family of solly, who lie buried in Ash church-yard, and bore for their arms, Vert, a chevron, per pale, or, and gules, between three soles naiant, argent, and being sold by one of them to dean Lynch, is now in the possession of lady Lynch, the widow of Sir William Lynch, K. B.) are situated in the northern part of the parish, and contain together about two hundred and fifty houses, among them is Hoden, formerly the residence of the family of St. Nicholas; Paramour-street, which for many years was the residence of those of that name, and Brook-street, in which is Brook-house, the residence of the Brooke's, one of whom John Brooke, esq. in queen Elizabeth's reign, resided here, and bore for his arms, Per bend, vert and sable, two eagles, counterchanged.
William, lord Latimer, anno 38 Edward III. obtained a market to be held at Ash, on a Thursday; and a fair yearly on Lady-day, and the two following ones. A fair is now held in Ash-street on Lady and Michaelmas days yearly.
In 1473 there was a lazar house for the infirm of the leprosy, at Eche, near Sandwich.
¶The manor of Wingham claims paramount over this parish, subordinate to which there were several manors in it, held of the archbishop, to whom that manor belonged, the mansions of which, being inhabited by families of reputation and of good rank in life, made this parish of much greater account than it has been for many years past, the mansions of them having been converted for a length of time into farmhouses to the lands to which they belong.
f this manor, (viz. Wingham) William de Acris holds one suling in Fletes, and there he has in demesne one carucate and four villeins, and one knight with one carucate, and one fisbery, with a saltpit of thirty pence. The whole is worth forty shillings.
This district or manor was granted by archbishop Lanfranc, soon after this, to one Osberne, (fn. 7) of whom I find no further mention, nor of this place, till king Henry III.'s reign, when it seems to have been separated into two manors, one of which, now known by the name of the manor of Gurson Fleet, though till of late time by that of Fleet only, was held afterwards of the archbishop by knight's service, by the family of Sandwich, and afterwards by the Veres, earls of Oxford, one of whom, Robert de Vere, earl of Oxford, who died anno 3 Edward III. was found by the escheat-rolls of that year, to have died possessed of this manor of Fleet, which continued in his descendants down to John de Vere, earl of Oxford, who for his attachment to the house of Lancaster, was attainted in the first year of king Edward IV. upon which this manor came into the hands of the crown, and was granted the next year to Richard, duke of Gloucester, the king's brother, with whom it staid after his succession to the crown, as king Richard III. on whose death, and the accession of king Henry VII. this manor returned to the possession of John, earl of Oxford, who had been attainted, but was by parliament anno I Henry VII. restored in blood, titles and possessions. After which this manor continued in his name and family till about the middle of queen Elizabeth's reign, when Edward Vere, earl of Oxford, alienated it to Hammond, in whose descendants it continued till one of them, in the middle of king Charles II.'s reign, sold it to Thomas Turner, D. D. who died possessed of it in 1672, and in his name and descendants it continued till the year 1748, when it was sold to John Lynch, D. D. dean of Canterbury, whose son Sir William Lynch, K. B. died possessed of it in 1785, and by his will devised it, with the rest of his estates, to his widow lady Lynch, who is the present possessor of it. A court baron is held for this manor.
Archbishop Lanfranc, on his founding the priory of St. Gregory, in the reign of the Conqueror, gave to it the tithe of the manor of Fleet; which gift was confirmed by archbishop Hubert in Richard I.'s reign. This portion of tithes, which arose principally from Gurson Fleet manor, remained with the priory at its dissolution, and is now part of Goldston parsonage, parcel of the see of Canterbury, of which further mention has been made before.
The other part of the district of Fleet was called, to distinguish it, and from the possessors of it, the manor of Nevills Fleet, though now known by the name of Fleet only, is situated between Gurson and Richborough, adjoining to the former. This manor was held in king John's reign of the archbishop, by knight's service, by Thomas Pincerna, so called probably from his office of chief butler to that prince, whence his successors assumed the name of Butler, or Boteler. His descendant was Robert le Boteler, who possessed this manor in king Ed ward I.'s reign, and from their possession of it, this manor acquired for some time the name of Butlers Fleet; but in the 20th year of king Edward III. William, lord Latimer of Corbie, appears to have been in the possession of it, and from him it acquired the name of Latimers Fleet. He bore for his arms, Gules, a cross flory, or. After having had summons to parliament, (fn. 8) he died in the begening of king Richard II.'s reign, leaving Elizabeth his sole daughter and heir, married to John, lord Nevill, of Raby, whose son John bore the title of lord Latimer, and was summoned to parliament as lord Latimer, till the 9th year of king Henry VI. in which he died, so that the greatest part of his inheritance, among which was this manor, came by an entail made, to Ralph, lord Nevill, and first earl of Westmoreland, his eldest, but half brother, to whom he had sold, after his life, the barony of Latimer, and he, by seoffment, vested it, with this manor and much of the inheritance above-mentioned, in his younger son Sir George Nevill, who was accordingly summoned to parliament as lord Latimer, anno 10 Henry VI. and his grandson Richard, lord Latimer, in the next regin of Edward IV. alienated this manor, which from their length of possession of it, had acquired the name of Nevill's Fleet, to Sir James Cromer, and his son Sir William Cromer, in the 11th year of king Henry VII, sold it to John Isaak, who passed it away to Kendall, and he, in the beginning of king Henry VIII.'s reign, sold it to Sir John Fogge, of Repton, in Ashford, who died possessed of it in 1533, and his son, of the same name, before the end of it, passed it away to Mr. Thomas Rolfe, and he sold it, within a few years afterwards, to Stephen Hougham, gent. of this parish, who by his will in 1555, devised it to his youngest son Rich. Hougham, of Eastry, from one of whose descendants it was alienated to Sir Adam Spracklin, who sold it to one of the family of Septvans, alias Harflete, in which name it continued till within a few years after the death of king Charles I. when by a female heir Elizabeth it went in marriage to Thomas Kitchell, esq. in whose heirs it continued till it was at length, about the year 1720, alienated by one of them to Mr. Thomas Bambridge, warden of the Fleet prison, upon whose death it became vested in his heirs-at-law, Mr. James Bambridge, of the Temple, attorney at-law, and Thomas Bambridge, and they divided this estate, and that part of it allotted to the latter was soon afterwards alienated by him to Mr. Peter Moulson, of London, whose only daughter and heir carried it in marriage to Mr. Geo. Vaughan, of London, and he and the assignees of Mr. James Bambridge last mentioned, have lately joined in the conveyance of the whole fee of this manor to Mr. Joseph Solly, gent. of Sandwich, the present owner of it. There is not any court held for this manor.
In this district, and within this manor of Fleet lastmentioned, there was formerly a chapel of cose to the church of Ash, as that was to the church of Wingham, to which college, on its foundation by archbishop Peckham in 1286, the tithes, rents, obventions, &c of this chapel and district was granted by him, for the support in common of the provost and canons of it, with whom it remained till the suppression of it, anno I king Edward VI. The tithes, arising from this manor of Fleet, and the hamlet of Richborough, are now a part of the rectory of Ash, and of that particular part of it called Gilton parsonage, parcel of the possessions of the see of Canterbury, of which further mention will be made hereafter. There have not been any remains left of it for a long time part.
Richborough is a hamlet and district of land, in the south-east part of this parish, rendered famous from the Roman fort and town built there, and more so formerly, from the port or haven close adjoining to it.
It was in general called by the Romans by the plural name of Rutupiæ; for it must be observed that the æstuary, which at that time separated the Isle of Thanet from the main land of Kent, and was the general passage for shipping,had at each mouth of it, towards the sea, a fort and haven, called jointly Rutupiæ. That at the northern part and of it being now called Reculver, and that at the eastern, being the principal one, this of Richborough.
The name of it is variously spelt in different authors. By Ptolemy it is written [Patapiaia (?)] urbem; by Tacitus, according to the best reading, Portus, Rutupensis; by Antonine, in his Itinerary, Ritupas, and Ritupis Portum; by Ammianus, Ritupiæ statio; afterwards by the Saxons, Reptacester, and now Richborough.
The haven, or Portus Rutupinus, or Richborough, was very eminent in the time of the Romans, and much celebrated in antient history, being a safe and commodious harbour, stationem ex adverso tranquillam, as Ammianus calls it, situated at the entrance of the passage towards then Thamas, and becoming the general place of setting sail from Britain to the continent, and where the Roman fleets arrived, and so large and extensive was the bay of it, that it is supposed to have extended far beyond Sandwich on the one side, almost to Ramsgate cliffs on the other, near five miles in width, covering the whole of that flat of land on which Stonar and Sandwich were afterwards built, and extending from thence up the æstuary between the Isle of Thanet and the main land. So that Antonine might well name it the Port, in his Itinerary, [Kat exochin], from there being no other of like consequence, and from this circumstance the shore for some distance on each side acquired the general name of Littus Rutupinum, the Rutupian shore. (fn. 9) Some have contended that Julius Cæsar landed at Richborough, in his expeditions into Britain; but this opinion is refuted by Dr. Hasley in Phil, Trans. No. 193, who plainly proves his place of landing to have been in the Downs. The fort of Richborough, from the similarity of the remains of it to those of Reculver, seems to have been built about the same time, and by the same emperer, Serveris, about the year 205. It stands on the high hill, close to a deep precipice eastward, at the soot of which was the haven. In this fortress, so peculiarly strengthened by its situation, the Romans had afterwards a stationary garrison, and here they had likewise a pharos, of watch tower, the like as at Reculver and other places on this coast, as well to guide the shipping into the haven, as to give notice of the approach of enemies. It is by most supposed that there was, in the time of the Romans, near the fort, in like manner as at Reculver, a city or town, on the decline of the hill, south-westward from it, according to custom, at which a colony was settled by them. Prolemy, in his geography, reckons the city Rutpia as one of the three principal cities of Kent. (fn. 10) Orosius. and Bede too, expressly mention it as such; but when the haven decayed, and there was no longer a traffic and resort to this place, the town decayed likewise, and there have not been, for many ages since, any remains whatever of it left; though quantities of coins and Roman antiquities have been sound on the spot where it is supposed to have once stood.
During the latter part of the Roman empire, when the Saxons prevented all trade by sea, and insefted these coasts by frequent robberies, the second Roman legion, called Augusta, and likewise Britannica, which had been brought out of Germany by the emperor Claudius, and had resided for many years at the Isca Silurum, in Wales, was removed and stationed here, under a president or commander, præpositus, of its own, who was subordinate to the count of the Saxon shore, and continued so till the final departure of the Romans from Britain, in the year 410, when this fortress was left in the hands of the Britons, who were afterwards dispossessed of it by the Saxons, during whose time the harbour seems to have began to decay and to swerve up, the sea by degrees entirely deserting it at this place, but still leaving one large and commodious at Sandwich, which in process of time became the usual resort for shipping, and arose a flourishing harbour in its stead, as plainly appears by the histories of those times, by all of which, both the royal Saxon fleets, as well as those of the Danes, are said to sail for the port of Sandwich, and there to lie at different times; (fn. 11) and no further mention is made by any of them of this of Rutupiæ, Reptachester, or Richborough; so that the port being thus destroyed, the town became neglected and desolate, and with the castle sunk into a heap of ruins. Leland's description of it in king Henry VIII.'s reign, is very accurate, and gives an exceeding good idea of the progressive state of its decay to that time. He says, "Ratesburg otherwyse Richeboro was, of ever the ryver of Sture dyd turn his botom or old canale, withyn the Isle of the Thanet, and by Iykelyhod the mayn se came to the very foote of the castel. The mayn se ys now of yt a myle by reason of wose, that has there swollen up. The scite of the town or castel ys wonderful fair apon an hille. The walles the wich remayn ther yet be in cumpase almost as much as the tower of London. They have bene very hye thykke stronge and wel embateled. The mater of them is flynt mervelus and long brykes both white and redde after the Britons fascion. The sement was made of se sand and smaul pible. Ther is a great lykelyhod that the goodly hil abowte the castel and especially to Sandwich ward hath bene wel inhabited. Corne groweth on the hille yn bene mervelous plenty and yn going to plowgh ther hath owt of mynde fownd and now is mo antiquities of Romayne money than yn any place els of England surely reason speketh that this should be Rutupinum. For byside that the name sumwhat toucheth, the very near passage fro Cales Clyves or Cales was to Ratesburgh and now is to Sandwich, the which is about a myle of; though now Sandwich be not celebrated by cawse of Goodwine sandes and the decay of the haven. Ther is a good flyte shot of fro Ratesburg toward Sandwich a great dyke caste in a rownd cumpas as yt had bene for sens of menne of warre. The cumpase of the grownd withyn is not much above an acre and yt is very holo by casting up the yerth. They cawle the place there Lytleborough. Withyn the castel is a lytle paroche chirch of St. Augustine and an heremitage. I had antiquities of the heremite the which is an industrious man. Not far fro the hermitage is a cave wher men have sowt and digged for treasure. I saw it by candel withyn, and ther were conys. Yt was so straite that I had no mynd to crepe far yn. In the north side of the castel ys a hedde yn the walle, now fore defaced with wether. They call it queen Bertha hedde. Nere to that place hard by the wal was a pot of Romayne mony sownd."
The ruins of this antient castle stand upon the point of a hill or promontory, about a mile north-west from Sandwich, overlooking on each side, excepting towards the west, a great flat which appears by the lowness of it, and the banks of beach still shewing themselves in different places, to have been all once covered by the sea. The east side of this hill is great part of it so high and perpendicular from the flat at the foot of it, where the river Stour now runs, that ships with the greatest burthen might have lain close to it, and there are no signs of any wall having been there; but at the north end, where the ground rises into a natural terrace, so as to render one necessary, there is about 190 feet of wall left. Those on the other three sides are for the most part standing, and much more entire than could be expected, considering the number of years since they were built, and the most so of any in the kingdom, except Silchester. It is in shape an oblong square, containing within it a space of somewhat less than five acres. They are in general about ten feet high within, but their broken tops shew them to have been still higher. The north wall, on the outside, is about twice as high as it is within, or the other two, having been carried up from the very bottom of the hill, and it seems to have been somewhat longer than it is at present, by some pieces of it sallen down at the east end. The walls are about eleven feet thick. In the middle of the west side is the aperture of an entrance, which probably led to the city or town, and on the north side is another, being an entrance obliquely into the castle. Near the middle of the area are the ruins of some walls, full of bushes and briars, which seem as if some one had dug under ground among them, probably where once stood the prætorium of the Roman general, and where a church or chapel was afterwards erected, dedicated to St. Augustine, and taken notice of by Leland as such in his time. It appears to have been a chapel of ease to the church of Ash, for the few remaining inhabitants of this district, and is mentioned as such in the grant of the rectory of that church, anno 3 Edward VI. at which time it appears to have existed. About a furlong to the south, in a ploughed field, is a large circular work, with a hollow in the middle, the banks of unequal heights, which is supposed to have been an amphitheatre, built of turf, for the use of the garrison, the different heights of the banks having been occasioned by cultivation, and the usual decay, which must have happened from so great a length of time. These stations of the Romans, of which Richborough was one, were strong fortifications, for the most part of no great compass or extent, wherein were barracks for the loding of the soldiers, who had their usual winter quarters in them. Adjoining, or at no great distance from them, there were usually other, buildings forming a town; and such a one was here at Richborough, as has been already mentioned before, to which the station or fort was in the nature of a citadel, where the soldiers kept garrison. To this Tacitus seems to allude, when he says, "the works that in time of peace had been built, like a free town, not far from the camp, were destroyed, left they should be of any service to the enemy." (fn. 12) Which in great measure accounts for there being no kind of trace or remains left, to point out where this town once stood, which had not only the Romans, according to the above observation, but the Saxons and Danes afterwards, to carry forward at different æras the total destruction of it.
The burial ground for this Roman colony and station of Richborough, appears to have been on the hill at the end of Gilton town, in this parish, about two miles south-west from the castle, and the many graves which have been continually dug up there, in different parts of it, shew it to have been of general use for that purpose for several ages.
The scite of the castle at Richborough was part of the antient inheritance of the family of the Veres, earls of Oxford, from which it was alienated in queen Elizabeth's reign to Gaunt; after which it passed, in like manner as Wingham Barton before-described, to Thurbarne, and thence by marriage to Rivett, who sold it to Farrer, from whom it was alienated to Peter Fector, esq. of Dover, the present possessor of it. In the deed of conveyance it is thus described: And also all those the walls and ruins of the antient castle of Rutupium, now known by the name of Richborough castle, with the scite of the antient port and city of Rutupinum, being on and near the lands before-mentioned. About the walls of Richborough grows Fæniculum valgare, common fennel, in great plenty.
It may be learned from the second iter of Antonine's Itinerary, that there was once a Roman road, or highway from Canterbury to the port of Richborough, in which iter the two laft stations are, from Durovernum, Canterbury, to Richborough, ad portum Rutupis, xii miles; in which distance all the different copies of the Itinerary agree. Some parts of this road can be tracted at places at this time with certainty; and by the Roman burial-ground, usually placed near the side of a high road, at Gilton town, and several other Roman vestigia thereabouts, it may well be supposed to have led from Canterbury through that place to Richborough, and there is at this time from Goldston, in Ash, across the low-grounds to it, a road much harder and broader than usual for the apparent use of it, which might perhaps be some part of it.
Charities.
A person unknown gave four acres and an half of land, in Chapman-street, of the annual produce of 5l. towards the church assessments.
Thomas St. Nicholas, esq. of this parish, by deed about the year 1626, gave an annuity of 11. 5s. to be paid from his estate of Hoden, now belonging to the heirs of Nathaniel Elgar, esq. to be distributed yearly, 10s. to the repairing and keeping clean the Toldervey monument in this church, and 15s. on Christmas-day to the poor.
John Proude, the elder, of Ash, yeoman, by his will in 1626, ordered that his executor should erect upon his land adjoining to the church-yard, a house, which should be disposed of in future by the churchwardens and overseers, for a school-house, and for a storehouse, to lay in provision for the church and poor. This house is now let at 1l. per annum, and the produce applied to the use of the poor.
Richard Camden, in 1642, gave by will forty perches of land, for the use of the poor, and of the annual produce of 15s. now vested in the minister and churchwardens.
Gervas Cartwright, esq. and his two sisters, in 1710 and 1721, gave by deed an estate, now of the yearly value of 50l. for teaching fifty poor children to read, write, &c. vested in the minister, churchwardens, and other trustees.
The above two sisters, Eleanor and Anne Cartwright, gave besides 100l. for beautifying the chancel, and for providing two large pieces of plate for the communion service; and Mrs. Susan Robetts added two other pieces of plate for the same purpose.
There is a large and commodious workhouse lately built, for the use of the poor, to discharge the expence of which, 100l. is taken yearly out of the poor's rate, till the whole is discharged. In 1604, the charges of the poor were 29l. 15s. 11d. In 1779. 1000l.
There is a charity school for boys and girls, who are educated, but not cloathed.
The poor constantly relieved are about seventy-five, casually fifty-five.
This parish is within the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the dioceseof Canterbury, and deanry of Bridge.
The church, which is dedicated to St. Nicholas, is a handsome building, of the form of a cross, consisting of two isles and two chancels, and a cross sept, having a tall spire steeple in the middle, in which are eight bells and a clock. It is very neat and handsome in the inside. In the high or south chancel is a monument for the Roberts's, arms, Argent, three pheons, sable, on a chief of the second, a greybound current of the first; another for the Cartwrights, arms, Or, a fess embattled, between three catherine wheels, sable. In the north wall is a monument for one of the family of Leverick, with his effigies, in armour, lying cross-legged on it; and in the same wall, westward, is another like monument for Sir John Goshall, with his effigies on it, in like manner, and in a hollow underneath, the effigies of his wife, in her head-dress, and wimple under her chin. A gravestone, with an inscription, and figure of a woman with a remarkable high high-dress, the middle part like a horseshoe inverted, for Jane Keriell, daughter of Roger Clitherow. A stone for Benjamin Longley, LL. B. minister of Ash twenty-nine years, vicar of Eynsford and Tonge, obt. 1783. A monument for William Brett, esq. and Frances his wife. The north chancel, dedicated to St. Nicholas, belongs to the manor of Molland. Against the north wall is a tomb, having on it the effigies of a man and woman, lying at full length, the former in armour, and sword by his side, but his head bare, a collar of SS about his neck, both seemingly under the middle age, but neither arms nor inscription, but it was for one of the family of Harflete, alias Septvans; and there are monuments and several memorials and brasses likewise for that family. A memorial for Thomas Singleton, M. D. of Molland, obt. 1710. One for John Brooke, of Brookestreet, obt. 1582, s. p. arms, Per bend, two eagles.—Several memorials for the Pekes, of Hills-court, and for Masters, of Goldstone. A monument for Christopher Toldervy, of Chartham, obt. 1618. A memorial for Daniel Hole, who, as well as his ancestors, had lived upwards of one hundred years at Goshall, as occupiers of it. In the north cross, which was called the chapel of St. Thomas the Martyr, was buried the family of St. Nicholas. The brass plates of whom, with their arms, are still to be seen. A tablet for Whittingham Wood, gent. obt. 1656. In the south cross, a monument for Richard Hougham, gent. of Weddington, and Elizabeth his wife, daughter of Edward Sanders, gent. of Norborne. An elegant monument for Mary, wife of Henry Lowman, esq. of Dortnued, in Germany. She died in 1737, and he died in 1743. And for lieutenant colonel Christopher Ernest Kien, obt. 1744, and Jane his wife, their sole daughter and heir, obt. 1762, and for Evert George Cousemaker, esq. obt. 1763, all buried in a vault underneath, arms, Or, on a mount vert, a naked man, bolding a branch in his hand, proper, impaling per bend sinister, argent and gules, a knight armed on borjeback, holding a tilting spear erect, the point downwards, all counterchanged. On the font is inscribed, Robert Minchard, arms, A crescent, between the points of it a mullet. Several of the Harfletes lie buried in the church-yard, near the porch, but their tombs are gone. On each side of the porch are two compartments of stone work, which were once ornamented with brasses, most probably in remembrance of the Harfleets, buried near them. At the corner of the church-yard are two old tombs, supposed for the family of Alday.
In the windows of the church were formerly several coats of arms, and among others, of Septvans, alias Harflete, Notbeame, who married Constance, widow of John Septvans; Brooke, Ellis, Clitherow, Oldcastle, Keriell, and Hougham; and the figures of St. Nicholas, Keriell, and Hougham, kneeling, in their respective surcoats of arms, but there is not any painted glass left in any part of the church or chancels.
John Septvans, about king Henry VII.'s reign, founded a chantry, called the chantry of the upper Hall, as appears by the will of Katherine Martin, of Faversham, sometime his wife, in 1497. There was a chantry of our blessed Lady, and another of St. Stephen likewise, in it; both suppressed in the 1st year of king Edward VI. when the former of them was returned to be of the clear yearly certified value of 15l. 11s. 1½d. (fn. 13)
The church of Ash was antiently a chapel of east to that of Wingham, and was, on the foundation of the college there in 1286, separated from it, and made a distinct parish church of itself, and then given to the college, with the chapels likewise of Overland and Fleet, in this parish, appurtenant to this church; which becoming thus appropriated to the college, continued with it till the suppression of it in king Edward VI.'s reign, when this part of the rectory or parsonage appropriate, called Overland parsonage, with the advowson of the church, came, with the rest of the possessions of the college, into the hands of the crown, where the advowson of the vicarage, or perpetual curacy of it did not remain long, for in the year 1558, queen Mary granted it, among others, to the archbishop. But the above-mentioned part of the rectory, or parsonage appropriate of Ash, with those chapels, remained in the crown, till queen Elizabeth, in her 3d year, granted it in exchange to archbishop Parker, who was before possessed of that part called Goldston parsonage, parcel of the late dissolved priory of St. Gregory, by grant from king Henry VIII. so that now this parish is divided into two distinct parsonages, viz. of Overland and of Goldston, which are demised on separate beneficial leases by the archbishop, the former to the heirs of Parker, and the latter, called Gilton parsonage, from the house and barns of it being situated in that hamlet, to George Gipps, esq. M. P. for Canterbury. The patronage of the perpetual curacy remains parcel of the possessions of the see of Canterbury.
¶At the time this church was appropriated to the college of Wingham, a vicarage was endowed in it, which after the suppression of the college came to be esteemed as a perpetual curacy. It is not valued in the king's books. The antient stipend paid by the provost, &c. to the curate being 16l. 13s. 4d. was in 1660, augmented by archbishop Juxon with the addition of 33l. 6s. 8d. per annum; and it was afterwards further augmented by archbishop Sheldon, anno 28 Charles II. with twenty pounds per annum more, the whole to be paid by the several lessees of these parsonages. Which sum of seventy pounds is now the clear yearly certified value of it. In 1588 here were communicants five hundred; in 1640, eight hundred and fifty. So far as appears by the registers, the increase of births in this parish is almost double to what they were two hundred years ago.

Haus Lange in Krefeld is an address of pilgrimage for architectural studies and those people interested in Ludwig Mies von der Rohe’s style setting early work. Splendid and ageless architecture and garden environment.
Most recently this building became a new home for BREXIT refugee family that felt no longer welcome in England. Has it really become ‘a home’? If you watch the series of photos I took you might feel shocked as I was when I first lingered thru the stylish rooms. The car was still packed. The door was open… I entered as invited, saw valuable furniture, most goods still in boxes, piles of books. The pantechnicon obviously just left. Also very obvious: The landlady, mother and wife also left and will stay absent: ‘You will never see me again’ written on the mirror. That wasn’t a good sign. I felt sorry.
Then to my utmost horror I found the host floating dead in the pool… A husband, a father: dead! And nobody seems to care!
Even more desperate the boy hiding in the dining room – his distressed body language seems to ask: Can this my home? Where is my mother? Who is my mother? Where are my roots?
You may form your own opinion on this photo story – but being uprooted is the worst prerequisite for a new and positive start. Reasons are manifold. But if it comes to politics as a cause: Think before you vote, choose well whom you elect. It might affect your families’ life, too.
The artists Michael Elgreen and Ingar Dragset make us think with their fictive story and installation of an unhappy start in Haus Lange, Krefeld.
I as a photographer tried to transfer this mood and the atmosphre into 17 picture series ‘Die Zugezogenen’.

"Sexual assault in childhood or adulthood impacts not only the victim, but also the victim’s family and friends as well as society as a whole. In this regard, sexual assault is a public health problem that concerns everyone.
Sexual assault has numerous potential consequences that can last a lifetime and span generations, with serious adverse effects on health, education, employment, crime, and the economic well-being of individuals, families, communities and societies."

Berlin boasts two zoological gardens, a consequence of decades of political and administrative division of the city. The older one, called Zoo Berlin, founded in 1844, is situated in what is now called "City West". It is the most species-rich zoo worldwide. The other one, called Tierpark Berlin ("Animal Park"), was established on the long abandoned premises of Friedrichsfelde Palace Park in the eastern borough of Lichtenberg, in 1954. Covering 160 ha, it is the largest landcape zoo in Europe.

I try not to bring politics into Flickr but this image is perhaps timely in many ways - we seem to be moving into a world of extremes where differences have no middle ground. Just as these kids were partying hard and loud, like they were the only ones on an otherwise crowded beach and there was no tomorrow, I think it's dangerous not to think of the consequences. Hopefully, cooler heads will prevail.
I liked Arthur Miller. He was a bloke who got to shag Marilyn Monroe (they were married - what was he thinking?!? Must have been a bit of a luvvie, sadly) and wrote some good stuff. He was something of a moral compass - of a type I don't think we have any more - throughout the last century . He did this book on his life, Timebends, and in it, he says summat about a film star and how things that you might not notice when filming can be massively significant when magnified on the big screen. What I'm getting at, apart from suggesting that I've read a few books, is that little things really can matter, if you can see them.
This was me, on Wednesday, before going in to The Public, in West Bromwich, for what's almost certainly turned out to be the last time. I was doing something with a bunch of lads around some sort of alternative form of social reporting, drawing on journalism and social media. But it didn't work out, so I won't be back.
Good bunch of lads, the place is a cool cultural space, and the people who'd asked me there are the exact type of rarity we should have more of in education. But, it was obvious that what I thought we needed to do and what we needed to do to get there wasn't working at an early stage, so I've walked.
I'm going to have a good think around the lessons of this. One of them, I think, is motivation and indications of what people may need to do to tap into a psychological vibe that'd work in the long-term as well as the short-term with social media.
I keep thinking of these influences that can impact on information, communication and relationships. I think that's important. Where I am while I'm writing this - Caffe Nero in Kidderminster - is a space where the environment's loaded with potential influences that can alter your mindset in quite powerful ways.
Maybe I'm going over-the-top, but I don't think I am on this. The little things really can matter, not in a way to make you stressed, but in ways that should make you at least think. Think butterfly effect, sort of thing.
Before I went in The Public, I was going to post that fact on Foursquare, but I realised a while ago that it's probably time to think about certain things, a bit more seriously, and so I didn't, realising the motivation was all wrong for why I was there.
Even this post is loaded with little clues about the impact of my environment, along with my psychosocial approach to it (that's not necessarily a bad thing).
Maybe I got carried away with what I wanted to do at The Public. I think most people in social media - all over the place - are mainstream to the core and just don't get it. Such people do the potential of the medium harm and some people think it's already too late to do anything about it. I'm not sure about that, but I haven't thought much about it.
The people getting what they can from social media, especially in the UK, have their ration ale - don't they always - but I'm not playing. At all. I think social media is too potential important a technology to enter their vibe and compete on their terms within a framework they'll always default to. So much in society has failed and failed miserably - official politics - for example, but it seems that the motivations and the mindsets they're part of work hard to obscure that, with wide-reaching consequences that could and should be much, much better. This isn't difficult to see when you have some independence from the mainstream mindset, but it is easy to dismiss when you're thinking and living within that mainstream mindset.
Back to Nero's and, earlier, I was having my first coffee of the day, feeling quite fresh while writing to the people at The Public, to tell them that I wouldn't be back. As I was sitting there, Mad Sue, a ridiculously lost, official depressive started asking me if I was all right. Remember what I wrote this morning about abuse and misinformation? This was all to do with the corrosive culture at Kidderminster's Caffe Nero.
Despite what I know groups of people in this town are capable of, I want my coffee without bullshit from official lunatics, like Mad Sue. Mad Sue's approach was all about colluding with the mood and momentum of the neg-regs she's so attracted to. Her eyes lit up when I reacted assertive to all this, because this desperate saddo would have something to talk about with the rest of the psychosocially fucked animals, later. There's a good reason for this. Mad Sue has a tragic track records of being attracted to seriously abusive people. She is a victim who, partly because she's never got on top of it - for whatever reason - is vulnerable to being taken in by other abusive types and so becoming a perpetrator of certain forms of abuse.
Well, I wanted my coffee, I wanted to challenge this rubbish (possibly an indication that my smartphone era vibe needs adjusting, in theatre, perhaps), that's all designed to position and disempower me according to this town's bogus and illogical, naive office politics hierarchy, that taps into and perpetuates the ugly culture, here, so I told her a few home truths. Very publicly. Very honestly.
Mad Sue is clearly a nutter, according to the mainstream mindset she'll probably never know any alternative to, and yet clearly maintains her existence as a nutter, which she's brainwashed herself into thinking she's clearly happy with. Bollocks!
I hope we'll never interact again, partly because it's become amazingly fucking tiresome, when I'm talking in a different psychosocial space to most of the people here, with the occasionally interesting person who probably accidentally landed here after taking a wrong turn or misreading their map, to find Mad Sue butting in - yet again - to change the direction and whole vibe of the chat to reach the information that ahead wants everyone to hear: that her life is shit and that she's anti-depressants. Not-fucking-interested-you-fucking-nut. If she's big on abuse and official lunacy, I'm just not playing. NOT PLAYING.
Anyway, it all tends to come together, when you really are able to think about it, here. Mad Sue's daughter, who I think is similarly lost, though there is hope, came by not long ago. We didn't speak. No need. I've go no reason to associate with most of these people any longer. However, Mad Sue's daughter has a child. She don't come here much, since having her child. I hope she can see it, for her child's sake. I can and that taps into why I'm not playing with the UK social media scene, with its mainstream mindset, or with Mad Sue, with her deep-rooted abusive one.
Maybe I did throw myself into what I was trying to do at The Public, too much, in a way. I need to think about that. What it did give me, at a crucial time, was a degree of focus, motivation and confidence to not be afraid of exploring disruptive ideas and thinking. I think that might be the best thing I take from the experience, partly because it's something that can be developed further.
There's a couple of thirty-something women, talking iPhone 4Gs, here. They're having a laugh about stuff they've worn to social stuff. Good. I'm happy for them. What they're talking about is boring shit, but there's no sense of anything ugly, well, not yet, and they seem like nice, if boring, chicks.
One of the baristas, who thinks that his above-average ability to work the punters points to a great level of intelligence he'll probably never have, partly because of this idea, lied to the one girl, saying she's really pretty and lied when she questioned whether he said that to 'all the girls'. She's not bad, but she's not really pretty. I won't tell her, though. That was a bit ofna chat that had good intentions, to make people feel better. Within hours, the same processes, including the same 'moves' in chat, will say.something very different, suggesting something very different.
Makes me wonder about all those people at the top of mainstream thinking, who benefit from all this. Makes me wonder about open source and proprietary approaches and how far we may be from being open to something genuinely new.
Anyway, although it's a drag having to eat and drink in the Smartphone Era, because there's better things to do, I'm going to have to sort it, somehow. Sushi, I reckon. Fish. Fish can go deep, so I've heard, so maybe, if I'm going to make the most of the Smartphone Era amidst so many conservative, limiting influences, both online and off, to really make this work, maybe fish is the answer. Or just depth. Dunno.
Keep em peeled...

The Castle Church in Saarbrücken
The present castle church was built in 1261 as a chapel of St. Nicholas. Only in 1549 it got the status of an independent parish and became parish church. As a consequence of the Reformation, it was since 1575 a Protestant one.
The church is an asymmetrical construction with a main and a side aisle with choir. There is a tower above the southwest corner of the building. During the devastating fire in Saarbrücken in 1677, the church was severely affected and destroyed the roof, the vaults and the cupola. Therefore, 1683-1686 the roof was replaced by a flat beam ceiling. In 18th century it came to an enclosure construction of the choir of the Church as the castle rock plateau was enlarged and the church in 1743 got a new dome in the Baroque style. This outer shape the Church maintained until the Second World War: on the day of the bombing in Saarbrücken on 5th October 1944, the Castle Church with the exception of the outer walls and the tower was completely bombed to pieces. Only in 1956 to 1958, it came to reconstruction and renovation work, however, the inner workings partly have been changed into some modern forms. It is noteworthy that in this church today the baroque grave monuments, among others, of the prince of Saarbrücken, Wilhelm Heinrich, and his wife, are located.
Die Schlosskirche in Saarbrücken
Die heutige Schlosskirche wurde 1261 als Burgkapelle St. Nikolaus errichtet. Erst im Jahre 1549 bekam sie den Status einer selbstständigen Pfarrei und wurde Stadtpfarrkirche. Als Auswirkung der Reformation war sie seit 1575 evangelisch.
Die Kirche ist ein unsymmetrischer Bau mit einem Haupt- und einem Seitenschiff mit Chor. Über der Südwestecke des Baus befindet sich ein Turm. Während des verheerenden Brandes in Saarbrücken 1677 wurde die Kirche stark in Mitleidenschaft gezogen und das Dach, die Gewölbe und die Turmhaube zerstört. 1683 bis 1686 ersetzte man das Dach daher durch eine flache Balkendecke. Im 18. Jahrhundert kam es zu einer Umbauung des Chores der Kirche als man das Schlossfelsenplateau vergrößerte und die Kirche bekam 1743 eine neue Haube im barocken Stil. Diese äußere Gestalt behielt die Kirche bis zum Zweiten Weltkrieg: am Tage des Bombenangriffs auf Saarbrücken am 05. Oktober 1944 wurde die Schlosskirche bis auf die Außenmauern und den Turm komplett zerbombt. Erst in den Jahren 1956 bis 1958 kam es zur Wiederaufbau- und Renovierungsarbeiten, allerdings veränderte man das Innenleben in teilweise moderne Formen. Bemerkenswert ist, dass sich in dieser Kirche heute noch die barocken Grabdenkmäler, u.a. des Fürsten von Saarbrücken, Wilhelm Heinrich, und seiner Gemahlin, befinden.
