Barnwell, Alberta
Barnwell is a village in southern Alberta, Canada. It is located west of Taber and east of Lethbridge on Highway 3, in the Municipal District of Taber. History In the late 19th century, a boxcar was located on a rail siding in what is now Barnwell. It was used as a telegraph office for local settlers and the railroad, and the area was named Woodpecker. In 1908, the area was renamed Bountiful to correspond to the local school district. A short while later, it was renamed to Barnwell because another community already had the name of Bountiful. The name Barnwell came from William Barnwell, a longtime employee of the Canadian Pacific Railway. In the early 1900s migrating members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, colonized Barnwell as well as other Southern Alberta areas. "By 1911 Latter-day Saints had established eighteen new communities in southern Alberta, and 10,000 Saints, mostly farmers and their families, lived in the area of southwest Alberta alon ...

Barnwell Chronicler
The ''Barnwell Chronicle'' is a thirteenth-century Latin chronicle named after Barnwell Priory, near Cambridge, where the manuscript was kept. Its anonymous author is well-regarded by historians. J. C. Holt described the Chronicler as "The most intelligent and valuable" and "perceptive" writer of his time. The Chronicler gives the fairest account of the reign of King John of England of any contemporaries describing him as a "great prince". He indicates that John's reforms of 1213 were worthy of being remembered. The Chronicler disliked foreigners and regrets John's use of foreign mercenaries, blaming them for the initial failures against the French invasion in 1215. The Chronicle implies John's failure was due to bad luck. The Chronicler also wrote of the reign of Henry III, regarding the struggle against the rebel barons as a crusade against infidels, and comments upon the increasing French acculturation in Scotland.
