Bucknall, Lincolnshire
Bucknall is a village and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. The village is situated approximately west from Horncastle and north from Woodhall Spa. History A Neolithic stone axe and Roman pottery fragment have been found around the village. The first historical reference to the village is from the Saxon Charters of 806 AD, in which it is referred to as Bokenhale. In the Domesday book of 1086 the name is spelt Buchehale. It seems likely that the village name means remote/hidden place where the goats are. 'Boken-'/'Buche-'/'Buckn-' could stem from 'bucca' an old English word for goat. 'Hale' is an old English word meaning a recess, nook, or remote valley. Other theories are that the village is named after a man with the old English name Bucca, that it's a reference to deer (buc in old English), or that it refers to beech trees (bok in old Norse). It is claimed that the historical figure Lady Godiva was born in Bucknall around 995 AD, however ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Royal Navy
The Royal Navy (RN) is the United Kingdom's naval warfare force. Although warships were used by English and Scottish kings from the early medieval period, the first major maritime engagements were fought in the Hundred Years' War against France. The modern Royal Navy traces its origins to the early 16th century; the oldest of the UK's armed services, it is consequently known as the Senior Service. From the middle decades of the 17th century, and through the 18th century, the Royal Navy vied with the Dutch Navy and later with the French Navy for maritime supremacy. From the mid 18th century, it was the world's most powerful navy until the Second World War. The Royal Navy played a key part in establishing and defending the British Empire, and four Imperial fortress colonies and a string of imperial bases and coaling stations secured the Royal Navy's ability to assert naval superiority globally. Owing to this historical prominence, it is common, even among non-Britons, to ref ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
