The meaning of Penistone is Old English. Tun “farm, village” with an uncertain first element, possibly Celtic penn = “head”, “hill”, similar to Penn. In the West Midlands. Records of the name as Penstun (1143) and Penstone (n.d.) prove the second element is Old English tūn = “farm, village” (not Old English stān =” stone. 8221; as might be suggested). The history of Penistone can be dated back to 1066. When it was known to be owned by Ailric. However, following the Norman Conquest. As ‘wasted’. The town ...

February 5, 2009. A while back I posted some photos of Penistone’s St Johns Church in the fog. They were a dark and brooding set. Tonight, I thought I’d go out in the freezing cold snow and take some more. Strangely enough they came out quite similar. I deliberately didn’t use the flash, but allowed the sodium street lights to illuminate the grave yard. Hope you like. From → Anorak Time. Larr; Don’t mention the “G” word! The new ‘at →.

To Jonathon Swift, Efq. The D of Bolton I hear hath run away with Polly Peachum, having settled 400£ a year upon her during pleasure, and upon disagreement 200£ a year. The first actress to play Polly Peachum, innocent lover of highway-man Macheath in Gay's. The play - arguably the greatest hit of the 18th century stage - had been rejected by Colley Cibber for Drury Lane as being too expensive and too bizarre to be a success; though when it proved to be a hit he was later to stage it there. Our first gre...

St James's Park: the Ton saunters. Thomas Gainsborough, 'The Mall' (1783). A woman marrying a woman according to the rites of the Established Church is something strange and unnatural. Yet did this woman, under the outward garb of a man, marry fourteen of her own sex.'. Great Numbers of people flock to see her in Bridwell. [She] appears very bold and impudent. She seems very gay, with Perriwig, Ruffles, and Breeches.'. Her crime was considered as a form of fraud: the court determined that she was '.

Pullen: Tell it to the Bees
http://drurylanebeat.blogspot.com/2009/06/tell-it-to-bees.html
Tell it to the Bees. It's not often that I descend from the 18thC to the present day, but even I'm willing to make the trip for my friend Fiona's latest novel (her fourth) -. Tell it to the Bees. Told through the eyes of a young boy, Charlie, growing up in the 1950s, it is the story of the dissolution of a marriage and development of a love. It is subtly and gently told, and utterly gripping. I read it in two sittings. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. When they were Young.

Nip through the Park and do a quick dog-leg by way of Spring Garden (an alley), Cockspur, Warwick Street and Pall Mall, and you would find yourself in St. James's Street. Here you could enjoy the company of the gentle sex (for a price) at the Bagnio at number 63. Next door were Fenton's Hotel and the Cocoa Tree coffee shop (no. 64) which catered to the Tory MPs. The Whigs used the St. James coffee house just up the road at number 60. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.
