Holy Trinity Church, Teigh
Holy Trinity Church is the parish church in Teigh, Rutland. It is a Grade II* listed building. History The current building was built in 1782, having been designed by George Richardson (architect), George Richardson for Robert Sherard, 4th Earl of Harborough who was rector. An earlier church dating from the 12th century was removed except for the base of the tower. The pews face one another rather than towards the altar. The pulpit is triple-decked and is combined with the lectern and prayer desk to form an unusual structure at the western end. Over the altar is a c1600 Flemish painting which could be the work of the Otto van Veen school. The ceiling of the church has the Sherard arms and the Sherard crest at either end. Teigh claims to be a Thankful Village which lost no men in the First World War and a tablet near the altar commemorates this. Anthony Jenkinson of the Muscovy Company was buried here in 1611. He had travelled as far as Bukhara when trying to reach Cat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Holy Trinity
The Christian doctrine of the Trinity (, from 'threefold') is the central dogma concerning the nature of God in most Christian churches, which defines one God existing in three coequal, coeternal, consubstantial divine persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ) and God the Holy Spirit, three distinct persons sharing one ''homoousion'' (essence) "each is God, complete and whole." As the Fourth Lateran Council declared, it is the Father who begets, the Son who is begotten, and the Holy Spirit who proceeds. In this context, the three persons define God is, while the one essence defines God is. This expresses at once their distinction and their indissoluble unity. Thus, the entire process of creation and grace is viewed as a single shared action of the three divine persons, in which each person manifests the attributes unique to them in the Trinity, thereby proving that everything comes "from the Father," "through the Son," and "in the Holy Spirit." This doctrine ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Defence Regulation 18B
Defence Regulation 18B, often referred to as simply 18B, was one of the Defence Regulations used by the British Government during and before the Second World War. The complete name for the rule was Regulation 18B of the Defence (General) Regulations 1939. It allowed the internment without trial of people suspected of being actively opposed to the ongoing war with Germany during the Second World War such as separatist elements (for example Irish republicans suspected of involvement in the Sabotage Campaign) or were otherwise suspected of ideological Nazi-aligned sympathy (this included members of the British Union of Fascists and similar groups). The effect of 18B was to suspend the right of affected individuals to ''habeas corpus''. Preparations for war The Defence Regulations existed in draft form, constantly revised, throughout the years between the world wars. In early 1939 it was decided that since a war might break out without warning or without time to pass an Act of Parli ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Eustace Folville
Eustace Folville (died 1347 aged almost 60) is credited with killing/assassinating the unpopular Sir Roger de Beler, Baron of the Exchequer and henchman of the despised Hugh le Despencer and ineffective King Edward II. He was the most active member of the ''Folville Gang'' who engaged in acts of vigilantism and outlawry in Leicestershire in the early 1300s, often on the behalf of others. Folville family Eustace was the second out of seven sons of Sir John Folville, a respectable member of the gentry who acted on many occasions as a Commissioner or Knighe Shire for both Rutland and Leicestershire. Eustace's elder brother, also Sir John Folville, inherited all of his father's lands in 1309 and kept out of most (but not all) of the law-breaking of his younger brothers. More recent research shows Farnham's Folville pedigree is flawed. Sir John de Folville and Eustace (along with their other siblings) were the issue of Sir Eustace (who died shortly before 1284) by Dame Alice. Backgro ...

Folville Gang
The Folville gang were an armed band operating in Leicestershire in the early 14th century, led by Eustace Folville. Criminal career The Slaying of Roger Beler 1326 In January 1326 Eustace led a band of fifty men to a valley near Rearsby and ambushed and killed the corrupt Baron of the Exchequer and ardent supporter of the Despencers, Sir Roger de Beler, who had previously made threats of violence to Eustace, his family and neighbours. An arrest warrant was issued on 24 January to apprehend those involved in the murder. A further warrant was issued to Henry, Earl of Leicester on 28 February.

Richard Folville
Richard Folville (died 1340–1) was a member of the infamous Folville Gang captained by his older brother Eustace. Biography Richard was the fourth of 7 sons born to Sir John Folville (died 1310) of Ashby Folville, Leicestershire. In 1321 he was created rector to the small country parish of Teigh, about 12 km east of Melton Mowbray. However, like his near-contemporaries Thomas De L'Isle or John Rippinghale, his vocation did not deter him from indulging in vigilantism and outlawry. A warrant for Richard's arrest was issued in March 1326 for his part in connection with the assassination of Sir Roger Bellere, and he was also involved in much of his siblings' later strifes. Richard seems to have masterminded the abduction and ransom of the justice Sir Richard Willoughby, later Chief Justice of the King's Bench. The chronicler Henry Knighton, our principal witness to the activities of the Folvilles, claims that the 'savage, audacious' Richard was in charge of the ''socia ...

Cathay
Cathay (; ) is a historical name for China that was used in Europe. During the early modern period, the term ''Cathay'' initially evolved as a term referring to what is now Northern China, completely separate and distinct from China, which was a reference to southern China. As knowledge of East Asia increased, Cathay came to be seen as the same polity as China as a whole. The term ''Cathay'' became a poetic name for China. The name ''Cathay'' originates from the word '' Khitan'', a name of a para-Mongolic nomadic people who ruled the Liao dynasty in northern China from 916 to 1125, and who later migrated west after they were overthrown by the Jin dynasty to form the Qara Khitai (Western Liao dynasty) for another century thereafter. Originally, this name was the name applied by Central and Western Asians and Europeans to northern China; the name was also used in Marco Polo's book on his travels in Yuan dynasty China (he referred to southern China as '' Mangi'').
