England
England is a country that is part of the United Kingdom. It shares land borders with Wales to its west and Scotland to its north. The Irish Sea lies northwest and the Celtic Sea to the southwest. It is separated from continental Europe by the North Sea to the east and the English Channel to the south. The country covers five-eighths of the island of Great Britain, which lies in the North Atlantic, and includes over 100 smaller islands, such as the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight. The area now called England was first inhabited by modern humans during the Upper Paleolithic period, but takes its name from the Angles, a Germanic tribe deriving its name from the Anglia peninsula, who settled during the 5th and 6th centuries. England became a unified state in the 10th century and has had a significant cultural and legal impact on the wider world since the Age of Discovery, which began during the 15th century. The English language, the Anglican Church, and Engli ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Year Of Death Missing
A year or annus is the orbital period of a planetary body, for example, the Earth, moving in its orbit around the Sun. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by change in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar regions around the planet, four seasons are generally recognized: spring, summer, autumn and winter. In tropical and subtropical regions, several geographical sectors do not present defined seasons; but in the seasonal tropics, the annual wet and dry seasons are recognized and tracked. A calendar year is an approximation of the number of days of the Earth's orbital period, as counted in a given calendar. The Gregorian calendar, or modern calendar, presents its calendar year to be either a common year of 365 days or a leap year of 366 days, as do the Julian calendars. For the Gregorian calendar, the average length of the calendar year (the me ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Timothy Halton
Timothy Halton D.D. (1632?–1704) was an English churchman and academic, Provost of Queen's College, Oxford, from 1677. Life He has been identified with the Timothy Halton, son of Miles Halton of Greenthwaite Hall, Cumberland, northern England, who was baptised at Greystoke Church 19 September 1633, and in that case he was a younger brother of Immanuel Halton. He entered Queen's College as batler 9 March 1649, and was elected Fellow in April 1657. He proceeded B.D. 30 April 1662, D.D. 27 June 1674. On 17 March 1661, Halton wrote to Joseph Williamson that he had offers of chaplaincies from William Lucy, bishop of St. David's, and from Elisabeth of Bohemia. Eventually he refused them both, preferring to retain his position at Oxford. The first offer, however, led to a Welsh connection: he became archdeacon of Brecon on 8 February 1672, and was canon of St David's (his epitaph). He was made archdeacon of Oxford on 10 July 1675, and Provost of Queen's College on 7 April 16 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
