Suffolk
Suffolk () is a ceremonial county of England in East Anglia. It borders Norfolk to the north, Cambridgeshire to the west and Essex to the south; the North Sea lies to the east. The county town is Ipswich; other important towns include Lowestoft, Bury St Edmunds, Newmarket, and Felixstowe which has one of the largest container ports in Europe.

By the fifth century, they had established control of the region. The Anglo-Saxon inhabitants later b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Civil Parish
In England, a civil parish is a type of administrative parish used for local government. It is a territorial designation which is the lowest tier of local government below districts and counties, or their combined form, the unitary authority. Civil parishes can trace their origin to the ancient system of ecclesiastical parishes, which historically played a role in both secular and religious administration. Civil and religious parishes were formally differentiated in the 19th century and are now entirely separate. Civil parishes in their modern form came into being through the Local Government Act 1894, which established elected parish councils to take on the secular functions of the parish vestry. A civil parish can range in size from a sparsely populated rural area with fewer than a hundred inhabitants, to a large town with a population in the tens of thousands. This scope is similar to that of municipalities in Continental Europe, such as the communes of France. However, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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] |
Chediston
Chediston is a village and a civil parish on the B1123 road, in the East Suffolk district, in the English county of Suffolk. It is located 2 miles west of Halesworth, its post town. The population of the civil parish as of the 2011 census was 195 and in 2018 it was estimated to be 234. Parish church Chediston has a parish church, dedicated to St Mary. The bulk of the current building dates from the 13th century and the 15th century, although there are traces of Norman stonework, and some Victorian restoration features, including much of the glass. History Chediston, mentioned in the Doomsday book 1086 also known as Cedestan, Cheddeston, Sedestane and other variations is thought to take its name from Saint Cedd (Cedd's town). Another possibility is that Cedd preached from a large glacial erattic stone (Cedd's stone) which can still be seen at Rockstone in Chediston. The parish was once administered by the Augustinian Order, based in Pentney, Norfolk, along with four other parishe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Linstead Parva
Linstead Parva is a small village and civil parish in the East Suffolk district of Suffolk in eastern England. It has a small but notable 13th-century parish church, still in regular use. The village pub, The Greyhound, was already established and trading when referenced in 1874, but it closed permanently in March 1955, and is now a private dwelling. Population In 2005 its population was 90. This had increased significantly to 132 at the 2011 Census, a 47% increase, caused by the combination of population statistics in 2011 for both Linsteads (Parva and Magna). In true terms, the population size of the village is stable. Although "Parva" means smaller, Linstead Parva is today significantly larger than neighbouring Linstead Magna, which is now just a satellite hamlet. Ecclesiastical parish The parish church of Linstead (Parva and Magna) is in Linstead Parva, and dedicated to St Margaret of Antioch, an early Christian martyr. The 13th-century church building is well maintaine ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

St Margaret Of Antioch
Margaret, known as Margaret of Antioch in the West, and as Saint Marina the Great Martyr ( grc-gre, Ἁγία Μαρίνα) in the East, is celebrated as a saint on 20 July in the Western Rite Orthodoxy, Roman Catholic Church and Anglicanism, on 17 July (Julian calendar) by the Eastern Orthodox Church and on Epip 23 and Hathor 23 in the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria. She was reputed to have promised very powerful indulgences to those who wrote or read her life, or invoked her intercessions; these no doubt helped the spread of her following. Margaret is one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers, and is one of the saints Joan of Arc claimed to have spoken with. Hagiography According to a 9th-century martyrology of Rabanus Maurus, she suffered at Antioch in Pisidia (in what is now Turkey) in around 304, during the Diocletianic persecution. She was the daughter of a pagan priest named Aedesius. Her mother having died soon after her birth, Margaret was nursed by a Christian woman fi ...
