Anglo-Saxons
Anglo-Saxons is the term usually used to describe the invading Germanic tribes in the south and east of Great Britain from the early 5th century AD, and their creation of the English nation, to the Norman conquest of 1066. The Benedictine monk, Bede, writing three centuries later, identified them as the descendants of three Germanic tribes:

Edith of Wessex
Edith of Wessex (c. 1029 – 19 December 1075) married King Edward the Confessor of England in 1045. The marriage produced no children. Later ecclesiastical writers claimed that this was either because Edward took a vow of celibacy, or because he refused to consummate the marriage because of his antipathy to Edith's family, the Godwins. However, in the view of Edward's biographer, Frank Barlow, "The theory that Edward's childlessness was due to deliberate abstention from sexual relations lacks authority, plausibility and diagnostic value."

Edward I of England
Edward I (17 June 1239 – 7 July 1307), also known as Edward Longshanks and the Hammer of the Scots, was King of England from 1272 to 1307. The first son of Henry III, Edward was involved early in the political intrigues of his father's reign, which included an outright rebellion by the English barons. In 1259, he briefly sided with a baronial reform movement, supporting the Provisions of Oxford. After reconciliation with his father, however, he remained loyal throughout the subsequent armed conflict, known as the Second Barons' War. After the Battle of Lewes, Edward was hostage to the rebellious barons, but escaped after a few months and joined the fight against Simon de Montfort. Montfort was defeated at the Battle of Evesham in 1265, and within two years the rebellion was extinguished. With England pacified, Edward left on a crusade to the Holy Land. The crusade accomplished little, and Edward was on his way home in 1272 when he was informed that his father had died. Making a slow return, he reached England in 1274 and he was crowned king at Westminster on 19 August.

Edward II of England
Edward II (25 April 1284 – 21 September 1327(?)), called Edward of Caernarfon, was King of England from 1307 until he was deposed by his wife Isabella in January 1327. He was the seventh Plantagenet king, in a line that began with the reign of Henry II. Interspersed between the strong reigns of his father Edward I and son Edward III, the reign of Edward II was disastrous for England, marked by incompetence, political squabbling and military defeats.

Edward Leigh
Edward Julian Egerton Leigh (born 20 July 1950) is a British Conservative politician. He has sat in the House of Commons as the Member of Parliament for Gainsborough in Lincolnshire since 1997, and for its predecessor constituency of Gainsborough and Horncastle between 1983 and 1997. He has served as Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee since 2001, and will step down at the end of the parliamentary session in 2010 [http://www.fm-world.co.uk/news/fm-industry-news/leigh-to-step-down-as-head-of-pac/]. Apart from being dubbed "the Viscount" upon his arrival in the Commons, a reference to his landed gentry background, he is next best known for his opposition to abortion, contraception and genetic research, for his support of capital punishment and for his defence of Section 28, which prohibited local authorities from "promot[ing] the teaching in any maintained school of the acceptability of homosexuality as a pretended family relationship". Leigh himself was an opponent of the Civil Partnership Act 2004, and voted against it at the second reading. Once passed Leigh proposed an amendment to the bill to extend the property and pension rights afforded by civil partnerships to siblings who had lived together for more than 12 years. This was opposed by many backers of the bill, such as frontbench conservative MP Alan Duncan, who considered it a wrecking amendment.

Edward the Confessor
Edward the Confessor (; ; c. 1003 – 5 January 1066), son of Æthelred the Unready and Emma of Normandy, was one of the last Anglo-Saxon kings of England and is usually regarded as the last king of the House of Wessex, ruling from 1042 to 1066 (technically the last was Edgar the Ætheling, who was proclaimed king briefly in late 1066, but was deposed after about eight weeks). His reign marked the continuing disintegration of royal power in England and the advancement in power of the earls. It foreshadowed the country's domination by the Normans, whose Duke William of Normandy was to defeat Edward's successor, Harold Godwinson, and seize the crown.

Empress Matilda
Empress Matilda (c. 7 February 1102 – 10 September 1167), also known as Matilda of England or Maude, was the daughter and heir of King Henry I of England. Matilda and her younger brother, William Adelin, were the only legitimate children of King Henry to survive to adulthood. Her brother died in the White ship disaster, making Matilda the last heir from the paternal line of her grandfather William the Conqueror.

Henry I of England
Henry I (c. 1068/1069 – 1 December 1135) was the fourth son of William I of England. He succeeded his elder brother William II as King of England in 1100 and defeated his eldest brother, Robert Curthose, to become Duke of Normandy in 1106. He was called Beauclerc for his scholarly interests and Lion of Justice for refinements which he brought about in the administrative and legislative machinery of the time.

Nettleham

Nettleham is a large village and civil parish within the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England.

Geography

It is located four miles north-east of the city of Lincoln between the A46 and A158, and has a total resident population of 6,514.

Nettleham has won the "Best Kept Village Award" several times and the centre of the village is a conservation area. Large modern housing estates surround the old village centre. Nettleham is also the location of the Lincolnshire Police headquarters to the west of the village near the A46. It was opened by the Queen in 1980. Nettleham's football team have twice played Aston Villa football club in friendlies. No other settlement shares Nettleham's name.

The parish boundary meets Greetwell on the A158 Horncastle/Wragby road. It follows the A15 Wragby Road into Lincoln for about 100 metres where it meets Lincoln, and skirts the edge of the housing estate (Glebe Park) next to the bypass; the Lincoln bypass (A158) from the A46 to the A158 is in the parish. The boundary crosses Nettleham Road (B1182, former A46), south of the bypass roundabout, and follows south of the A46 bypass for about 500 metres and meets Riseholme (south of the bypass). The bypass passes north-wards skirting the edge of the University of Lincoln's Riseholme College. 500 metres north of Nettleham Hall, it meets Grange de Lings, and borders this parish along a farm track until the A46, where it meets Scothern just north of Nettleham Heath Farm. It crosses Scothern Beck north of Skelton House Farm, passes south, and at Nettleham Beck it meets Sudbrooke, crossing Sudbrooke Lane east of Richmond Farm. North of Manor Farm, it meets Reepham on the A158 Roman road and follows the A158 to North Greetwell, where it meets Greetwell.

The parish includes an oil well owned by Star Energy, north of the A158 bypass which has been producing since 1985.

History

The now-demolished Bishop's Manor House at Nettleham was the property of Edith of Wessex, wife of Edward the Confessor and later Empress Matilda, daughter of Henry I of England, before passing into the possession of the Bishops of Lincoln, who enlarged it to create a Bishop's Palace appropriate to one of the country's most important Sees. On 7 February 1301 King Edward I of England was staying in the Bishop's Palace when he created his son Edward (later Edward II of England) as the first Prince of Wales. The building was damaged during the Lincolnshire Rising of 1536 and completely demolished by 1650, only traces of foundations remaining on the site now called Bishop's Palace Field.

The parish church of All Saints dates from the Saxon period, with medieval and 19th century additions. It is in the benefice of Nettleham with Riseholme and Grange de Lings. Village pubs are the Black Horse on Chapel Lane, the Plough on Church Street, and the White Hart on High Street.

The Royal Society for Nature Conservation (RSNC) was based on The Green. It gained its new name in 1981 from the Society for the Promotion of Nature Conservation (SPNC), and had been the Society for the Promotion of Nature Reserves before 1976. The Nature Conservation Trusts became known as Wildlife Trusts. The organisation became known as The Wildlife Trusts in 1996 and has been based in Newark-on-Trent since 1999, being been based on Witham Park in Lincoln from 1990. The site became the home of the WATCH Trust for Environmental Conservation, but this also moved to Newark a few years ago. The Wildlife Trusts had their junior section, known as Wildlife Warch, on Witham Park in Lincoln, until it moved to Newark. Newark is on the East Coast Main Line. In June 2004 the organisation became the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts (RSWT).

JCT Consultancy is based at Deepdale Enterprise Park, off Deepdale Lane (near the police HQ), which makes the much-used LINSIG software for traffic lights originated by Brian Simmonite. It hosts courses on training in the traffic signal control industry.
