In the 11th century, Marlow was ringed by monastic foundations, and the remains of a 12th century chapel and crypt still exist at Widmer Farm. In St. Peter Street you will find The Old Parsonage and Deanery, which form part of the finest 14th century house in Buckinghamshire. Marlow Place, which dates from 1721, formed part of the Royal Military College before it moved to Sandhurst in 1812. The town's fine suspension bridge was built from 1829-1832 and just along the river is the superb 18th century Court Garden House, now part of a leisure complex Read More Go to Site Measham and the Mease Valley to 1300 AD Votes:0 Mease Valley History Home The web site has been reorganised - please click here to go to new site Read More Go to Site Mike Royden's Local History Pages - VIRGIN WEBSPACE Home Page Votes:0 www.roydenhistory.co.uk Mike Royden's Local History Pages Welcome!!

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 Quay stands, today. Garson links the early history of the North Shields to that of Tynemouth , as the land belonged to Tynemouth Priory ". In 1225, the monks drained a large block of marshy riverbank near the shiels, to build houses, wharves and quays.

The old village, by the church and Green Dragon pub, lay along the original Roman road, which has once carried legions of marching soldiers. For centuries, this was the only main road into Essex. During the Dark Ages, after the Romans left, it was lost to brambles and undergrowth. Waves of invaders came from the coast, battling their way through the forest that covered the area.

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. The name of the stream, the Stor or Storr came from the village and not as so often happens the other way round. Besides the three spellings in the Domesday Book, Storrington has had considerable name changes through the centuries. For example Storghton (1334 and 1411) Sterington, Steryngton (153) Sorrington (16th century) Storynton Read More Go to Site Sussex History List Votes:0 Sussex History History Sites Alfriston Chanctonbury Ring Cissbury Ring Combe Hill Highdown Hill Philpots Promontory Camp The Trundle Wilmington (Long Man of) Other History Notes None so far!

I live at the Tower of London in London, England with my mom and dad, and aunt, uncle and baby sister, who are all also ravens. Although my real name is Reginald -- and the name my mom always sternly calls me whenever I have done anything wrong -- my friends have always called me by my nickname, Rascal. I have lived at the Tower of London all of my life, and I know all of its history, and all the good places to hide when my dad wants me to help entertain the tourists and I just want to sit in the warm sunshine and hop about on one foot.

Traces of the early Norman church still exist, and in the tower which was replaced in the reign of Elizabeth 1 after a storm destroyed the original one, an inscription reads "pray for the sowle of William Dobson, Gen.Ussher to Queen Elizabeth who gave unto this work."

Although there were earlier shipbuilders in the eighteenth century such as Thomas Sibson and William Palmer the best known was undoubtedly Daniel Brocklebank (1742-1801). He had started building ships at the age of 28 in America and started building ships there. As the American War of Independence drew to its close it became clear he would have to take sides between the Colonials and Britain, so he decided to return home. Taking command of his last American built ship, the Castor, he sailed her back to Whitehaven in thirty-two days. In 1788 he established a yard in Whitehaven where 27 ships were built before his death Read More Go to Site
