Stratford Upon Avon Visit, Part 24,' The Guildhall Chapel' by Sheila, 26th May 2016
The stain-glass is beautiful within this Guildhall Chapel and shows members of the Clopton and Shakespeare family. Just as amazing is the faded Frescoes that once adorned the walls in colour but after the Reformation and the Puritans and numerous 'whitewashes' much damage has been done and they are now quite faded---In the Early times images were the main method of conveying the stories. The Guildhall was an important meeting place for the aldermen of Stratford and was also used by the boys Grammar School next door which was attended by William Shakespeare and I visit there in later videos. While visiting the chapel the Organist arrived to tune and practice on the Organ--this can be heard on the next video--captured in a moment of time and by pure chance
Ronnie Mulryne at the Guildhall, Stratford upon Avon
This film includes a selection of extracts from a guided tour of the Guildhall in Stratford of Avon given by Professor Ronnie Mulryne. Originally recorded by film-maker James Willetts in 2015-2016, it has been re-edited as a tribute to Professor Mulryne, who died on 28th January 2019.
Professor Mulryne demonstrates that the Guildhall served as the headquarters of the religious Guild of the Holy Cross and that Shakespeare was at school in the same building. His schoolroom, which has been recreated, is directly above the priest’s chapel. He was at school from about 1571 to 1579, a regular period of schooling in those days. Professor Mulryne explains how Shakespeare was inspired to become a playwright in the schoolroom – part of the curriculum were Latin plays by authors such as Plautus and Terence, which the boys performed.
In the room next to the school room, top-level professional players from London and elsewhere came and played on more than 30 occasions while Shakespeare lived in Stratford. The whole story, schoolroom and professional players, hangs together.
Professor Mulryne, Professor Emeritus at the University of Warwick, was the leading expert on the history of Stratford-upon-Avon’s Guildhall. He was editor of 'The Guild and Guild Buildings of Shakespeare’s Stratford' which was published in 2010. He was instrumental in securing the £1.7m Heritage Lottery Funding to restore the Guildhall and open it to the public.
James Ronald Mulryne was born in Belfast on 24th May 1937 and received his early education there. He took his B.A. and Ph.D at Cambridge University and subsequently lectured at the Universities of Birmingham (Shakespeare Institute), Edinburgh and Warwick, where he was Professor of English and Pro-Vice-Chancellor.
As former Director of the Centre for the Study of the Renaissance at Warwick University, he developed and transformed the University’s research base in the European Renaissance and left behind him an important and challenging legacy.
In Stratford he has been a Trustee of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, a Governor of the RSC, and Chairman of Governors at King Edward VI School. At Holy Trinity Church he has been involved in the leadership of services, a church warden, a Chair of the Friends of Shakespeare's Church and a President of the Choral Society, as well as in the restoration of the Becket Chapel and the creation and development of St Peter's Chapel.
Dr Margaret Shewring, a former colleague at Warwick University, writes, His energy, generosity in encouraging others and love of theatre, music, poetry, architecture and history have been an inspiration to many. He will be greatly missed.

Young UK Seafood Chef of the Year 2011
Danielle Heron and Chelsea Taylor from The Manchester College have been announced as the winners of the Young UK Chef of the Year Competition 2011.
The Grand Final has been held at the Grimsby Institute's Gallery Restaurant with the judges and invited guests sampling a three-course meal, produced by the finalists and served by Grimsby Institute students.
The Young Seafood Chef of the Year Competition was originally founded by the Institute in 1997, who have strong ties to the Seafood Industry through its links with Humber Seafood Institute (HSI), and has now grown to become one of the foremost competitions of its kind.
This year the competition has attracted over 50 entries from colleges nationwide and the final saw two teams from each of the competing colleges battle it out for the title. Finalists include teams from the Grimsby Institute, The Manchester College, Nelson & Colne College, City College Norwich, Oxford & Cherwell Valley College, Stratford-upon-Avon College and Yorkshire Coast College in Scarborough.
Competition Manager and the Grimsby Institute's Programme Leader for Hospitality, Paul Robinson, explained why the competition was so important, Paul said:
This competition is a fantastic opportunity for young chefs to compete on a National platform within the educational sector of professional cookery training. The seafood our sponsors supply is sustainable and we therefore feel it is important to promote this in the competition.
The Manchester College, were awarded 1st place, with Oxford and Cherwell Valley College taking 2nd Place and City College Norwich, coming in a close 3rd.
Merits were awarded to the teams from the Grimsby Institute, Yorkshire Coast College in Scarborough, Stratford-upon-Avon College, Nelson & Colne College and City College Norwich.
The winners of this year's competition receive an extensive prize package that includes the Seafood Championship Trophy, one-year membership to the Craft Guild of Chefs, a one-week placement at either Youngs Development Kitchens or Mitch Tonks Restaurant and a day cooking at Jean-Christophe Novelli's Academy.
One half of the winning team, Danielle said:
We cooked smoked haddock risotto with curry oil and crispy skin, and pan-fried scallops for the main course. We wanted to cook foods that went together, forming a classic combination and also that would bring out the flavour of the fish, as much as possible.
We entered because our tutor said it would be fun, so we started off lightheartedly and couldn't believe it when we made it to the final. When we got here we took it very seriously and I'm so happy that we've won, I was literally shaking when they announced it.
Chelsea added:
It's so important that we've got the chance to part in this competition. We've had some amazing feedback from the chefs and judges, and it's really improved our skills.
Judges for the prestigious final of the competition includes Great British Menus' Tom Aikens, Franck Pontais from the Food Channel, TV's Mitch Tonks, Managing Director of Billingsgate Market, Chris Leftwich, and Head Chef at Youngs, Serge Nollent, and they were impressed with the quality of the food they were presented with, Chris said:
It was so close between the top three competitors, but we had to award it to the team from The Manchester College because the standard of the dishes and the presentation was excellent.
Mitch added:
Danielle and Chelsea were also amazing in the kitchen, very much in control, knew exactly what they were doing and were very relaxed. If anyone had eaten their scallop dish, in any restaurant in the country, they would have said wow, it really was incredible.
St Mary Redcliffe, a beautiful Church - located in Bristol, England
St. Mary Redcliffe is an Anglican parish church located in the Redcliffe district of Bristol, England. The church is a short walk from Bristol Temple Meads. The church building was constructed from the 12th to the 15th centuries, and it has been a place of Christian worship for over 900 years. The church is renowned for the beauty of its Gothic architecture and is classed as a Grade I listed building by Historic England.[1][2] It was famously described by Queen Elizabeth I as the fairest, goodliest, and most famous parish church in England.[3][4]
Little remains of the earliest churches on the site although a little of the fabric has been dated to the 12th century. Much of the current building dates from the late 13th and 14th centuries when it was built and decorated by wealthy merchants of the city whose tomb and monuments decorate the church. The spire fell after being struck by lightning in 1446 and was not rebuilt until 1872. Little of the original stained glass remains following damage in the English Civil War with extensive new glass being added during the Victorian era. The tower contains 15 bells designed for full-circle English-Style change ringing. Other music in the church is provided by several choirs and the Harrison & Harrison organ.
Christianity:
Christianity[note 1] is a Abrahamic monotheistic[1] religion based on the life, teachings, and miracles of Jesus of Nazareth, known by Christians as the Christ, or Messiah, who is the focal point of the Christian faiths. It is the world's largest religion,[2][3] with over 2.4 billion followers,[4][5][6] or 33% of the global population, known as Christians.[note 2] Christians make up a majority of the population in 158 countries and territories.[6] They believe that Jesus is the Son of God and the savior of humanity whose coming as the Messiah (the Christ) was prophesied in the Old Testament.[7] Christianity has played a prominent role in the shaping of Western civilization.[8][9][10][11][12]
Christianity grew out of Judaism[13][14][15] and began as a Second Temple Judaic sect in the mid-1st century.[16][17] Originating in the Roman province of Judea, it quickly spread to Europe, Syria, Mesopotamia, Anatolia, Transcaucasia, Egypt, Ethiopia and the Indian subcontinent, and by the end of the 4th century had become the official state church of the Roman Empire.[18][19][20] Following the Age of Discovery, Christianity spread to the Americas, Oceania, sub-Saharan Africa and the rest of the world through missionary work and colonization.[21][22][23]
United States:
The United States of America (USA), commonly known as the United States (U.S.) or America (/əˈmɛrɪkə/), is a federal republic[16][17] composed of 50 states, a federal district, five major self-governing territories, and various possessions.[fn 6] Forty-eight states and the federal district are contiguous and located in North America between Canada and Mexico. The state of Alaska is in the northwest corner of North America, bordered by Canada to the east and across the Bering Strait from Russia to the west. The state of Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific Ocean. The U.S. territories are scattered about the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, stretching across nine official time zones. The extremely diverse geography, climate and wildlife of the United States make it one of the world's 17 megadiverse countries.[19]
At 3.8 million square miles (9.8 million km2)[20] and with over 324 million people, the United States is the world's third- or fourth-largest country by total area,[fn 7] and the third-most populous. The capital is Washington, D.C., and the largest city is New York City; twelve other major metropolitan areas—each with at least 4.5 million inhabitants—are Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Miami, Atlanta, Boston, San Francisco, Phoenix, and Riverside.
Everyday Life in Shakespeare’s England│Professor Catherine Richardson | University of Kent
THINK KENT – INTERNATIONAL THINKERS | GLOBAL IMPACT
Catherine Richardson, Professor of Early Modern Studies at the University of Kent, discusses her research into the everyday lives of the men and women of Elizabethan and Jacobean England. She shows how little we know about the space where most people spent most of their time, the household, and reveals some of the remarkable secrets of the way it was decorated and furnished to aid not only everyday lives and leisure time, but also families’ moral and spiritual practices.
Professor Richardson discusses what this research tells us about the environments within which some of the most famous writers in the English language, such as William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe, lived and wrote, and introduces a new research project into the cultural lives of the group to which they belonged: the ‘middling sort’. This work, a collaborative project between the universities of Kent, Birmingham and King’s College London, will help us better to understand the links between social mobility, enterprise and creativity in a period in which the creative industries as we know them began – with the rise of print culture and the commercial theatre – and to see some of our most famous cultural producers in their early modern context.

ABOUT PROFESSOR CATHERINE RICHARDSON
Catherine Richardson joined the University of Kent in 2007 from the University of Birmingham, where she was lecturer in English and History and Fellow of The Shakespeare Institute. At Kent she is currently Associate Dean for Research in Humanities. She is interested in the relationship between texts and the material circumstances of their production and consumption – for instance the way individuals described objects as they wrote them into probate inventories, or how theatre audiences ‘saw’ spaces in relation to the dialogue of a play, the physical nature of the theatre and their own memories and imaginations. Her research focuses on the movement between living and writing, between experience and narrative.
