Fenni
The Fenni were an ancient people of northeastern Europe, first described by Cornelius Tacitus in '' Germania'' in AD 98. Ancient accounts The Fenni are first mentioned by Cornelius Tacitus in '' Germania'' in 98 A.D. Their location is uncertain, due to the vagueness of Tacitus' account: ''"they (Venedi) overrun in their predatory excursions all the woody and mountainous tracts between the Peucini and the Fenni"''.Tacitus G.46 The Greco-Roman geographer Ptolemy, who produced his '' Geographia'' in ca. 150 AD, mentions a people called the ''Phinnoi'' (Φιννοι), generally believed to be synonymous with the Fenni. He locates them in two different areas: a northern group in northern ''Scandia'' ( Scandinavia), then believed to be an island; and a southern group, apparently dwelling to the East of the upper Vistula river (SE Poland). It remains unclear what was the relationship between the two groups. The next ancient mention of the Fenni/Finni is in the '' Getica'' of 6th-c ...

Feni (liquor)
Feni (misspelt fenno or fenny, Indo-Portuguese; fénnim) is a spiritous liquor indigenous to the state of Goa, India. The two most popular types of feni are Cashew feni and Coconut feni, depending on the ingredients; however, other varieties and newer blends are also sold by distillaries. The small-batch distillation of feni has a fundamental effect on its final character, which still retains some of the delicate aromatics, congeners, and flavour elements of the juice from which it was produced. The word ''feni'' is derived from the Sanskrit word , in Naagri Konkani; '' फेन'' or ''फेण'' & in Romi Konkani; ''fenn''; which means "froth"; thought to come from the bubbles that form when the liquor is shaken inside a bottle or poured into a glass. It is generally accepted that coconut feni (palm toddy) was produced before it, and feni followed the same process until distillation was introduced by Europeans. Coconut palms are abundant along the western coastline of the Ko ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Fenny Compton West Railway Station
Fenny Compton West railway station was a railway station serving Fenny Compton in the English county of Warwickshire. History It was opened by East and West Junction Railway between Stratford upon Avon and . The first section of the line to open was the Fenny Compton to Kineton section on 1 June 1871 followed by the Kineton to Stratford upon Avon section on 1 July 1873. There were two platforms to serve the passing loop on the otherwise single line. It was built side by side with the GWR's Fenny Compton station on the Birmingham & Oxford Junction Railway which had opened in 1852. The up platform was directly next to the GWR down, but because the latter's goods yard was in between, the E&W one tapered down to less than 3 feet instead of the required six - something which the Board of Trade inspector ordered should be rectified but which was never done. In fact the Board of Trade had been extremely critical of the impecunious line. On the first visit of its inspector f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cymreigyddion Y Fenni
Cymdeithas Cymreigyddion y Fenni, which translates as the Abergavenny Welsh Society, is a Welsh language society in Abergavenny. Early in its history it was very influential in the survival of the language in Monmouthshire, and in Welsh intellectual life more broadly. Motto The society's motto is Oes y byd i'r iaith Gymraeg, which translates as "long live the Welsh language", or more literally "the age of the world to the Welsh language". Founding The society was founded on 2 November 1833, in the Sun Inn, Abergavenny, with the purpose of providing its members with the opportunity to socialise in Welsh, and to secure the use of the language more broadly in the town. It was one of several Welsh societies in this period to adopt the name "Cymreigyddion", seemingly in imitation of the London-based Cymreigyddion Society. The society's founding members were: :President: Rev. John Evans, the vicar of Llanover :Vice-President: William Price, a solicitor in Abergavenny :Secretary: T ...

Fenny Castle
Fenny Castle is the remains of a motte and bailey castle in the parish of Wookey, Somerset, England. It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument, but not accessible to the public. It is sited on a natural hillock of Lias approximately above the surrounding flat land on the edge of the Somerset Levels. Such sites were typically chosen for castles in low-lying areas. The original builder of the castle is unknown, but it may be associated with the Anarchy, 1135–1153, a period of English history during the reign of King Stephen which was marked by a succession crisis between the supporters of Stephen and those of his cousin, the Empress Matilda. In 1327 the owner was William atte Castle. By 1480 it was described as a ruin by William Worcestre who saw the plan of "all the houses and offices there".
