Framing the shift to supported employment
Employment support programs play a crucial role in assisting the unemployed in overcoming challenges to achieve their employment goals. The experiences of participants with multiple challenges provide insights into programme effectiveness in achieving personalised goals of employability, social development, and inclusion. This study contributes to the evaluation of supported employment by presenting a peer-derived framework grounded in participan…
Bringing the arts into socio‐ecological research
Socio‐ecological research collaborations between artists, natural and social scientists, and with the humanities more broadly, have increased significantly in recent years. This has been aided by increased investment by funding bodies such as UK Research and Innovation and others internationally in projects designed to encourage cross‐disciplinary partnerships. Within socio‐ecological research and beyond it, despite some success stories, there is…
A co-design framework for natural resource policy making
Environmental and land use policy literature asserts the need for more holistic, participatory and co-designed forms of governance for the sustainable management of natural resources. Co-design is also increasingly recognised by government as a useful approach but is often applied with varying degrees of success. The purpose of this paper is to assess recent examples of policy co-design across three UK case studies focused on tree/woodland manage…
Participatory assessment of critical thresholds for resilient and sustainable European farming systems
Farming systems in Europe are experiencing multiple stresses and shocks that may push systems beyond critical thresholds after which system change is expected to occur. These critical thresholds may lie in the economic, environmental, social and institutional domain. In this paper we take a participatory approach with involvement of farming system stakeholders to assess the presence of critical thresholds in 11 European farming systems, and the p…
Investigating the Mental Health Impacts of University Campus Green Space Through Perceived Sensory Dimensions and the Mediation Effects of Perceived Restorativeness on Restoration Experience
Introduction: Green spaces support people mentally in their everyday life. Perceived restorativeness and Perceived Sensory Dimension (PSD) have been addressed as optimal environmental related characteristics with regards to psychological restoration. However, relatively little research has investigated how the perception of these characteristics, directly and indirectly, affects restoration experience, particularly in a sample of university stude…
Conceptualising Social Value for the Third Sector and Developing Methods for Its Assessment
Recent legislation in the UK has placed an expectation on social purpose organisations (SPOs) to consider, monitor and evaluate the societal value they generate. However, meaningful engagement with the Social Value Act by the third sector is relatively low, which reflects both conceptual and methodological shortcomings. This paper describes a programme of action research which has developed a user-friendly tool to assist smaller SPOs to explore, …

Post-Medieval Archaeology
Subject definition within any discipline cannot escape the everyday structures and operation of power that exist within that profession. I have therefore set out to express my personal, and undoubtedly biased thoughts, on post-medieval archaeology withno expectation they will be shared. This chapter discusses the definition of the subject and some central issues for the present and future. The ill-defined and fragmented discipline that exists in …
Crossing Paths or Sharing Tracks?
Brings together over thirty of the leading scholars in Post Medieval archaeology and examines how this relatively new discipline has developed and where it is going. The impetus for this volume lies in the expansion of interest in Post Medieval archaeology in university, commercial, and voluntary sectors. The study of Post Medieval archaeology is a relatively new discipline but, within archaeology as a whole, it represents one of the fastest grow…

Spatial Patterns of Production Linkages in the Context of Europe's Small Towns
Courtney P., Lépicier D. and Schmitt B. Spatial patterns of production linkages in the context of Europe's small towns: how are rural firms linked to the local economy?, Regional Studies. Small towns have received increasing attention from policy-makers aiming to stimulate rural development through territorial approaches. However, it cannot be assumed that fostering local business growth will help generate local economic development either throug…

Small towns as ‘sub-poles’ in English rural development
Bridging the gap
This paper reviews briefly the emergence of holistic governance at the strategic and very local levels in rural England before reporting a programme of action research designed to address the need to develop an effective 'bridge' between planning activity at those two levels. Attention is focused particularly upon the recent wave of parish and market town plans on the one hand and local strategic partnerships and community strategies on the other…
The role of natural heritage in rural development
Excavation and Building Recording at Lambeth Palace Chapel Undercroft 1999–2000
Excavations in the courtyard at the east end of Lambeth Palace chapel, and standing fabric recording of the east elevation of the chapel and its undercroft revealed a sequence of structures. The earliest foundations, incorporating the lower levels of the chapel undercroft, probably date to 1199–1200 when the building of a Premonstratensian house of canons was started under Archbishop Hubert Walter. The remainder of the undercroft and the chapel a…

Excavations within the Medieval Town at New Radnor, Powys, 1991–92
Excavations just inside the main West gate of the town, a plantation of probably the later twelfth century, confirm that parts of the town that were intensively occupied in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries were abandoned as the settlement shrank and diminished in status from the later fifteenth century onwards. The earliest buildings, founded on earth-fast posts appear to have been replaced by ones of sill-beam construction during possibly…
In Small Things Forgotten
The publication of The Art and Mystery of Historical Archaeology , a festschrift in honour of James Deetz, makes a useful starting point for assessing the remarkable development of American historical archaeology over the last four decades. The discipline of ‘historical archaeology’ is the New World equivalent of British post-medieval archaeology. It is the study of the material culture of colonial and industrial America. Unlike its highly margin…
Excavations at Caergwrle Castle, Clwyd, North Wales
THE REMAINS of Caergwrle castle in E. Clwyd stand on a hill dominating the modern village of Caergwrle, which lies immediately to the N. (Fig. 1). The castle is situated about half-way between Mold and Wrexham in NE. Clwyd at SJ.306572 (Fig. 2; Pl. VIIl). The castle is very much a border fortification; it stands at an altitude of 135 m OD just to the E. of Hope Mountain. Any defender on the wail-walk of the castle's E. curtain enjoyed extensive v…

Capel Maelog, Llandrindod Wells, Powys
THE FOUNDATIONS of the small parochial church and its associated enclosure and cemetery were extensively excavated between 1984 and 1987. The first evidence of activity is represented by a sub-rectangular enclosure of 4th- to 5th-century date, with other elusive evidence of activity in the 6th to 9th centuries, possibly of a domestic or agricultural nature. A small cemetery dating to a period between the 9th to 12th centuries, but most probably t…
A siege examined
Leicester was besieged twice in 1645, first by the royalists and then by the parliamentarians. Neither siege was especially notable from a military point of view, but the first siege was of considerable political importance. The town’s loss alarmed the parliamentarians into putting their full field army on the move and led to the crucial confrontation at Naseby. This study aims to assess the sieges from an archaeological and topographical perspec…
Excavations in the Outer Precinct of Tintern Abbey
EXCAVATION REVEALED an aisled guest-hall, possibly of 13th-century date, which parallels structures at Kirkstall and Waverley abbeys. This was replaced in the 15th or early 16th century by a new guest range with indications of differing provision for high-status guests. A smithy and non-ferrous industrial activity, notably cupellation and bell founding, are also described

Cledemutha
In A.D. 921 Edward the Elder is recorded as having built the borough or burh at Cledemutha. On the basis of excavations in 1979–82 it is argued that a three-sided earthwork enclosing a large area to the south of modern Rhuddlan, Clwyd (Flintshire), forms the defences of this late Saxon burh. Evidence is presented for the dating, method of construction, original appearance and subsequent slighting of the defences. Comparisons are made with other l…
The Norman invasion of Gwent
Shortly after the Norman conquest of England, William fitz Osbern was created earl of Hereford. Most historians suggest he overran all Gwent east of the Usk before his return to the continent in 1071. This article will argue that his occupation of Gwent was more limited and was possibly confined to the territories claimed by Harold Godwinson, once earl of Hereford, before his death at Hastings. Instead, the accession of William Rufus in 1087 is s…
