WEBVTT 00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:45.900 Are there any examples of the death of Oliver Cromwell noted or recorded in any parish registers? 00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:36.900 Thee ae 3 index entries in Wiltshire record Society's Gleanings from Parish Wiltshire registers for Oliver 00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:49.900 Sorry y keyboard keeps n missing letters 00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:14.900 I got the gist Stuart! Thank you 00:36:56.000 --> 00:36:56.900 wasn't victory over the Spanish Armada regularly celebrated for a century or so. Anyonefound references to this? 00:39:26.000 --> 00:39:26.900 There was a medal struck to commemorate the victory over the Armada unfortunately I don't have a photo of this medal. 00:43:02.000 --> 00:43:02.900 The Armada is, interestingly, not an annual national event - but there are of course various efforts to commemorate it. I think it falls under the heading of 'national' commemorations...unless anyone knows of Armada veterans themselves holding commemorations? (That would be amazing if so!) 00:45:19.000 --> 00:45:19.900 I have looked at hundreds of Chancery cases during the interregnum and it is very rare for the civil war to be mentioned at all. Occasionally there are references to the 'late troubles', one case I remember was brought by a carter who continued his work between Sussex and London paying no heed to the troubles but he did refer to them. 00:46:26.000 --> 00:46:26.900 Thanks, Fiona 00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:22.900 ... and Imogen 00:48:27.000 --> 00:48:27.900 Judging by reactions to another deeply traumatic event in English history (1066 and all that), should we be looking for the emergence of 'memory' only two or three generations later, i.e. after the thread of direct personal continuity has been broken? 00:48:55.000 --> 00:48:55.900 I hope not Chris or that is problematic for memory studies of the 1650s! 00:49:38.000 --> 00:49:38.900 If only we had some records of thegns from the 1070s 00:50:49.000 --> 00:50:49.900 That is something I have been dealing with in my research. Rather than memories, its usually what versions of events have survived, in Colchester's case its the survival of Carters version of the siege and then Morant's use of that. etc.
