An Anglo-Saxon gentlewoman, patron of the arts, equestrienne, and tax protester, etc. All the historians say that she "flourished, circa 1040 - 1080 A.D."
Leofric, earl of Mercia, and husband of Lady Godiva, was a man of broad but obscure interests; a religious man thoroughly Christian, and an entrepreneur, raconteur, and general all around good sport. At the same time, he did have an avaricious streak in him, and it is for this rea ...

NORTH SHIELDS HISTORY
The North part of North Shields derives from its position on the north side of the River Tyne, opposite South Shields. The Shields part of North and South Shields may be a corruption of shiels. "William Garson, in The Origin of North Shields and it's Growth (1926), says this was the old word for a kind of turf shelter constructed on the riverbank by fishermen. He says North Shields grew from a community of shiels built at the mouth of the Pow Burn, where the Fish Qua ...

The History of Skipton Castle
Soon after 1090 Robert de Romille, a Norman baron, built a primitive fort here but its timber ramparts did little to stop rampaging Scots during their frequent raids into northern England. It was replaced with a more formidable stone castle which stood on top of a rocky bluff with rising ground to the front and a sheer precipice falling to the Eller Beck behind.
The history of the castle is inseparable from that of the Clifford ...

The name of the village is almost certainly derived from the German word Storch, meaning stork and it is possibly connected with the Saxon word 'Stor' meaning strong. The bird was a very common visitor to our shores centuries ago. It's meaning could also be loosely connected to the herons which still nest in Parham Park on the western border of Storrington - one of the few heronries still existing in England.
