The official opening of Leamington's new Mental Health Connections program Tuesday addresses mental health needs in the county as well as signals the beginning of an effort to push more healthcare services into rural communities.
Mental Health Connections celebrates opening of Leamington program
The official opening of Leamington's new Mental Health Connections program Tuesday highlights the push locally to boost rural community healthcare.
The program, which has been running for 10 months, offers psychological and social rehabilitation services and supports for adults with mental illness.
"We heard from individuals a demand for these services," said Dawn Maziak, mental health lead for the Erie St. Clair Local Health Integration Network. "We're addressing that need.
"MHC's credibility has grown to where it's valued by psychiatrists who recommend MHC as part of their rehabilitation plans for patients."
Mental Health Connections has had a Windsor office (519-256-4854) at 370 Erie Street since 2004 and serves more than 1,000 clients, currently ranging in age from 16 to 84.
The Erie St. Clair LHIN provided $14,000 in funding to operate the program in Leamington. The service is available Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1-3 p.m at Leamington's new Windsor Essex Community Health Centre, 33 Princess Ave.
"With the Patients' First legislation we needed to broaden our base geographically and in equality of access to services," Maziak said. "Two years ago the LHIN did an addiction engagement plan and we heard we're not doing a good enough job in rural communities.
"This recognizes the importance of health services in rural communities. We hope this is just the beginning of getting into more communities in Essex County."
Having taken 10 months to get the program up and running, MHC executive director Jean Laforge said the emphasis will now be on making people aware of what it offers.
Currently less than 20 people use the program.
"We're hoping being here, on a bus route in central Leamington, will improve the accessibility for people," Laforge said. "Transportation is one of the key issues keeping people in the county from using our Windsor service.
"Also moving from the (Leamington) hospital to this new space in February will help."
The giant windows overlooking Leamington's downtown core flood the fourth-floor multi-purpose room with natural light. Laforge said just the environment alone is more uplifting.
"We're offering people who are recovering from mental illness a reprieve from social isolation," Laforge said. "Isolation can drive them further into depression and make it more costly on the healthcare system. This is a comfortable place for people with similar mental health issues.
"It comes at no cost to them and they can choose what they'd like to participate in."
In addition to simple social opportunities, MHC offers life-skills classes such as cooking, budgeting, nutrition and home repair. There are also personal growth seminars in self-esteem, conflict resolution, anger management, boundaries and communication.
The physical side of rehabilitation offers a variety of exercise programs, art and music.
MHC also offers support for families through group meetings and a 12-week family-to-family education program developed to help families who have a member with mental illness.
Linda Nagle first came into contact with MHC in 2004 when she was seeking support and advice on how to deal with a family member's struggles with mental illness. She was so impressed that she became part of the organization and is now chair of MHC's board of directors.
"MHC has been a lifeline for us," Nagle said. "They helped us with what to do and where to go for support. The organization has been a hugely positive influence on our family."

Most of us couldn't hang with William T. Vollmann's approach to tourism. The man lingers in the poorest slums of the world's poorest nations until he's sampled that region's most devastating drugs, most exotic diseases, and, yes, its most downtrodden women-of-the-evening. He's courted much criticism in the past for his fascination with prostitutes — and, to be sure, prostitutes aplenty pop up in this meandering, intuitive rumination on global poverty — but credit Vollmann with striving to overcome well-intentioned liberal platitudes about the "other" and get down in the trenches, gleaning globs of hard-won wisdom from some of the world's unluckiest people: Chernobyl clean-up crewmen are just the tip of the iceberg. The very human warmth and equally human outrage at the core of it all is shattering — as is the outstanding quality of the writing. Give this guy a Nobel already.

Oddballs Enclave
Oddballs Camp is situated on the edge of Chief's Island, deep in the heart of the Okavango Delta.
The camp is accessible by light aircraft and boat only. On arrival you will be met at the airstrip and welcomed to the island. Oddballs' offers undoubtedly an extraordinary value-for-money experience in the Okavango Delta and caters to the active travelers.
Accommodation is in 15 dome tents, fully equipped, and set on elevated wooden decks shaded by canvas shelters. These tents are the same tents used by most mobile operators in Botswana, with beautiful en-suite bathroom.
Activities are conducted by a professional guide (a maximum of two guests per guide), a man of the swamp, born and bred in the area. The activities at Oddballs' usually start by mokoro, after which you will walk on some of the larger islands in the area. Walking is an integral and significant part of the experience at any time of year. The extent of the walks will depend on your tastes. Guests usually go out in the early morning, having a late breakfast on their return, and again in the afternoon after the midday heat has dissipated, but some elect to go out for the whole day with a packed picnic lunch. It is often said that the very best way to experience the wonders of the African bush is on foot and Oddballs' certainly lives up to that claim.
The camp is booked on an all inclusive basis with accommodation, meals and drinks (no premium brands), activities, park fees and laundry service. Children of any age are very welcomed in Oddballs Camp.
For guests staying for four nights or more, Oddballs' offers camping trails. All equipment and provisions are packed into your mokoro as you set off with your guide for an unforgettable wilderness experience. Camping equipment is provided, though it is suggested that you bring your own sleeping bag.

Although it is not the biggest selling global beer, Budweiser remains one of the most internationally recognised brands. It is outsold by Bud Light in the US but it is the global reach of Budweiser, which has recently started to sell well in the huge beer markets of Brazil and China, that make it the third best selling beer in the world.
Budweiser is sold in over 85 countries around the world and as a result of this worldwide popularity, Budweiser was ranked as the world's most valuable beer brand by the 2012 Global BrandZ Report.
In his letter to shareholders in the 2012 AB InBev annual report, chairman of the board Kees Storm said: "While we expect 2013 to be another year of challenge and uncertainty in the global economic environment, we will continue to work for the long-term growth of our business and shareholder value."
He added: "We will focus on building a vibrant beer industry, expanding our position in the most important markets, strengthening our brands and consumer connections, and generating superior cash flow to be reinvested in growth."

AC/DC sets Sept. 9 Palace show with Axl Rose
Six months after an originally scheduled Palace stop, AC/DC will play the Auburn Hills arena on Sept. 9, part of a round of dates featuring Axl Rose in the front man role.
The Palace concert is one of 10 U.S. shows being announced this morning as AC/DC makes good on dates postponed in the spring because of vocalist Brian Johnson's hearing damage. Other stops include Cleveland's Quicken Loans Arena (Sept. 6), New York's Madison Square Garden (Sept. 14) and Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center (Sept. 20).
In Johnson's place will be Rose, the singer whose busy year already includes a high-profile Guns N' Roses reunion tour that will kick off June 23 at Detroit's Ford Field.
Tickets for the Palace show are $75-$139.95 and are immediately available via Ticketmaster and at the Palace box office. (Existing tickets for the postponed March 20 Palace show will be honored.)
The Axl-fronted AC/DC has already played a handful of European dates, scoring mostly positive reviews and even earning thumbs-up from some skeptical fans for live sets that have included Bon Scott-era material long missing from the band's shows. While Johnson is holding out hope that his hearing issues can be resolved, AC/DC guitarist Angus Young has said that Rose is itching to extend his run with the group.
Full schedule of AC/DC Rock or Bust Tour makeup dates:
Aug. 27, Greensboro, N.C., Greensboro Coliseum
Aug. 30, Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., BB&T Center
Sept. 1, Atlanta, Phillips Arena
Sept. 4 Columbus, Ohio, Nationwide Arena
Sept. 6, Cleveland, Quicken Loans Arena
Sept. 9 The Palace of Auburn Hills
Sept. 11 Buffalo, First Niagara Center
Sept. 14, New York, Madison Square Garden
Sept. 17, Washington, D.C., Verizon Center
Sept. 20, Philadelphia, Wells Fargo Center

It's been a slew of fashion shows across the globe and stars, shoppers, stylists and the average 'Jill' (that's right, you and I) have watched with frenzied breaths as the cream of designer's collections have had us pondering, coveting and everything in between-'ing'. From New York to London, Milan to Paris, we've watched trends – what's in, what's out, what's hot , what's not and what will be.
Then we moved to wishing we could afford some of the items or max out our cards and try to get them added to our wardrobe, but you get a rude reality check when you remember that half the clothes (actually, most) shown in these shows wouldn't fit you anyway because you're not a size zero, four or six, aren't flat chested or without some rear assets. You also remember that you don't have a tummy that has bounced back to being washboard flat after you had your baby (the way Heidi Klum's did, even though you exercised like a mad person for 6 months till you were cross eyed from body contortions and exertion) and you really don't have a body like the ones portrayed in fashion magazines – you know, the very photoshopped bodies – or a body like a runway model, since the idea of eating only 1 leaf of lettuce to stay alive (barely) makes you not want to live.
You may have read my post about Sports Illustrated using a "plus-size" ….ish model on their cover for the very first time in their 60 year history. If you missed it, please check it out here.
You may also have read or heard about leaked pictures showing Beyonce looking less than perfect. They were from a L'Oreal photo-shoot and were supposedly leaked before the usual retouching that takes place prior to final publication.
Yes, Queen-B actually has acne – eeekkk!!!…..who would have 'thunk' it?
Now what's my point in all this you may ask? Well I assure you it's not because misery loves company and I want to make myself feel better by bringing others down, or that exercise and good nutrition aren't important, but rather to share a universal but hitherto very guarded truth: we aren't all created the same and will not, no matter how much we wish or try, be able to fit into generic clothing, make-up or other fashion related enhancers. You've heard it before, "true beauty starts from or is on, the inside". The world generally doesn't advertise that but if they did, they wouldn't sell magazines and be able to make us feel bad enough about ourselves that we want to enhance, cover or completely change who we are to fit some ideal that was set by lord-knows-who.
Looking good is good business, yes, but then the whole concept of looking good is so different for so many people. My awesome, damn-I'm-looking-so-fly-you-can't-touch-this "spooting" could be your idea of the worst wardrobe malfunction ever. If you watch or read commentary by Stylists, Designers, Fashion Police, you see that no two of them seem to agree on what's lovely, ugly, good taste, or poor showing. Makes you wonder then, whose ideal we are trying to live up to. If you don't accept yourself for how you were created and indeed learn to love yourself, you could walk down a road that leads to multiple plastic surgery sessions, depression, dysfunctional relationships and continuous dissatisfaction with your very existence. I'm going to be covering a series of topics in this minefield of an area so I'll kick off with some news for you:
- The Fashion industry is beginning to get some push back from the public, to begin to get real and cover stories that show the diversity of beauty and life; even stars are joining in. Just check out the recent Dolce & Gabbana runway show at Milan Fashion week and all the articles written about it:
- Yes we would all like to be perfect but after you've watched enough plastic surgery botch-up jobs, you soon realize that there is no such thing. Look at Mickey Rourke, Donatella Versace (and she's in the fashion industry) or Jocelyn Wildenstein, to understand just how much so.
- Following trends can be unhealthy and for some body types, skin tones or age groups, a downright dis-service.
- Finding what works for you, the uniquely created 'goddess' that you are, is very key to just enjoying fashion for what it should be – fun, enhancing – instead of what it has become for many – sometimes depressing, in constant comparison with others and often feeling that you haven't quite nailed it.
So the next riddle to solve becomes: Who am I? What's my style sense? What am I comfortable in? What works for me and what doesn't? What I would prefer if I truly didn't care what anyone thought of me and my brand of style. Don't have a clue?
How do you go about finding out then? How do you create a you, that you love in the midst of so many recommendations and so many offerings? Choices, choices! Let's start with the inner you, move to body types and then progress from there through a whole range of related topics in my bid to share what I've researched and learned about building one's personal style, fashion sense and indeed brand. Are you ready? I hope so because it promises to be an interesting journey.
A tout a l'heure!

Someone once told me their three ingredients for success were patience, perseverance and luck. I suppose this can be applied to any profession. But my wish is for readers of The Connect Magazine to challenge and redefine their definitions of success.
I was raised by an incredibly strong single mother. I remember asking myself as a kid, "Why does my mother have to work two or three jobs just so we can eat?" Despite how difficult it was, she always encouraged my siblings and me to make good decisions and "aim for the stars." I recall her telling me that I could do anything – if and only if – I put my mind to it.
While growing up, I didn't realize how powerful her words would prove to be. I made some poor decisions in my youth, but I believe those mistakes were the building blocks to my success. I clearly remember my loving mother repeating her three ingredients for becoming successful: First, she told me to always take care of my children and "Don't be like your daddy." (I heard this one quite often.) Second, she instructed me to secure a respectable job and focus on myself. Third, she told me to take care of my wife so that she would never have to work as hard as my mother did.
Those are all great traits to have and I somehow assumed if I followed them, I would live a "successful" life. I learned it isn't so simple.
My world changed drastically several years ago when a good friend challenged my definition of success. He asked me, "Eric, What's your purpose and passion?" I was so focused on living a "successful" life that I had no idea what I was meant to accomplish while on Earth.
After some thought and more living, I realized success is more than having a certain amount in your bank account or reaching a particular career height. Successful living to me, in the broadest sense, means a life led by my spirit, being unafraid to try for new opportunities, spending time with those I most care about and living without regrets. In the Christian Bible, Matthew 16:26 says: "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?" I live by this concept.
Taking a bold leap of faith while listening to the whisper of my spirit was my first step toward living a successful life. Starting The Connect Magazine has been one of the most rewarding endeavors I've ever been a part of. Changing lives, creating jobs, building communities and speaking to souls are all priceless endeavors, which is why I continue to enjoy working with individuals such as my Managing Editor Lacey Johnson. We both share the same passion and love for believing in the greater good and empowering others. This is invaluable to me.
Looking back, if that same friend were to ask me my three ingredients for success, I would now say to him, with confidence: First, believe in something more powerful than you. Second, trust the process. And, finally, surround yourself with only positive and uplifting people.
I believe it is more important to keep your focus on your long-term goals than to profit immediately by nickel-and-diming your customers to death. I pride myself on giving our readers, who are still becoming acquainted with us, inspiration and valuable information – for free. I am also grateful to my mother, who taught me the importance of loving and respecting others.
I'll conclude this message with a quote by Vincent Van Gogh: "Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well."

Gree Electric Appliances
Industry sector: Household appliances
Headquarters: Zhuhai
On the back of China's burgeoning domestic consumer market, leading home appliance developer and manufacturer Gree Electric Appliances has become the world's largest residential air conditioner manufacturer, with thousands of different products on offer. As it expands internationally, it is making increasing use of the PCT and filing a growing number of applications abroad. The company takes a proactive approach towards intellectual property – its November 2011 patent spat with rival Midea in the Guangdong Provincial Supreme People's Court is a notable example of its robust defence of its patent rights.

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson & His Girlfriend Announced Baby No. 2 with the Most Gorgeous Photo
Dwayne Johnson is officially outnumbered at home.
The Jumanji star revealed on Instagram today that he and his girlfriend of ten years, Lauren Hashian, are expecting their second baby girl together. The couple's 2-year-old daughter, Jasmine Lia, helped her pops spread the news with a stunning photo and a very DIY sign stapled to their Christmas tree.
He captioned the snap: "Our Jasmine Lia would like to make a big announcement—IT'S A GIRL! @laurenhashianofficial and I are boundlessly grateful for this blessing as this spring we'll welcome our second baby. Plus Jazzy is excited to boss around and protect her lil' sis. And once again, big daddy is completely surrounded by beautiful estrogen and loving, powerful female mana. All girls. One dude. And a boy dog. I wouldn't have it any other way. #ItsAGirl #GratefulMan #TequilaTime."
By his use of #TequilaTime, we can only venture to guess how he celebrated the exciting news.

The Elective Assembly in the Diocese of Manicaland, The Church of the Province of Central Africa, has named the Revd Canon Erick Ruwona as bishop-elect of the diocese.
Twenty two electors gathered on Saturday 21 March at Cathedral of St John the Baptist in Mutare, Zimbabwe, to elect a successor to Bishop Julius Tawona Makoni following his resignation on 1 March 2015.

I was just starting to see a guy and I wasn't sure if things were going to get serious so I went on another date. I had no intention of sleeping with the guy I was going on a date with so I wore mismatched underwear and hadn't shaved my legs for a few weeks. The date was really fun but I still liked the other guy more so was I adamant that I wasn't going to sleep with him.
On my way home, I realised that I had missed the train and he offered for me to stay at his. The bus would have taken hours so I agreed to take the short walk to his. At this point, I was still certain that no magic would be happening. However, we got back to his and one thing led to another and in the end, I paused kissing him to confess that I was actually quite hairy and was in the least sexiest underwear I owned. I figured being honest would be less embarrassing that him finding out for himself.
Much to my surprise, he assured me that while it's nice, men aren't really that bothered about hairy legs and underwear so we just carried on as normal.

Today author Loree Lough is my special guest for the very first time.
Loree is the author of the "First Responder" series which she inaugurated with the publication of Ashes to Honor and is following up with Honor Redeemed. On a cold November night, when a jumbo jet crashes on a busy highway, Honor Mackenzie responds to the scene to join the Search and Rescue (SAR) team's search for survivors. Journalist Matt Phillips is determined to "scoop" other news outlets. Unbeknownst to Matt, another reporter published an inaccurate story about Honor that resulted in the end of her career with the local fire department. He is immediately drawn to the beautiful, but sad-eyed redhead.
They soon realize that, in addition to SAR missions, they have other things in common, including the grief of losing a loved one on September 11. Their budding relationship is strained, however. When Matt learns that Honor has gone missing during a search for a lost girl, he personally leads the SAR team in a desperate attempt to locate her before the arrival of a forecast blizzard. Even if he succeeds in saving Honor, can their relationship be saved?
A Writer's Wish for Her Readers
Loree Lough
First, a big and heartfelt thanks to JHSiess for the invite. I'm pleased as punch and proud to be here!
Second, I have some super news about the First Responders series:
1. From Ashes to Honor has earned itself a movie option! Now, everyone knows that most options never become movies, and the few that do rarely make it to the screen, but still . . . it's an honor to have the Hollywood mega-moguls consider it, y'know!
2. Just got a call from my publicist, who said "Are you sitting down?" And then she proceeded to tell me that the prestigious Library Review gave Honor Redeemed a "starred" review. Whoa. That's rare, so, yeah, I was pretty pumped!
3. A producer called me not long ago — and stayed on the phone a whopping 15 minutes — talking about "possibilities." So I was, like, Is there gonna be a bidding war . . . in Tinseltown . . . for something I wrote!? (sigh) Let me tell ya, I've spent a lot of time on my knees thanking God for all these blessings. (And if you get a minute, I wouldn't mind a bit if you'd shoot a prayer toward heaven on my behalf, because, well, wow, this is some crazy stuff, y'know!)
But enough about me. So what do YOU think about me? LOL
I'm kidding. Really. No…I mean it!
Lots of readers write to tell me what they thought of a particular book. All sorts of people. Old, young, men, women, kids . . . Jews and Christians and Buddhists and Muslims. They share things in their own lives that mirror what happened in the story. Or tell me about someone they know who reminds them of one of my characters. They ask me to pray with them, about finances, job situations, missing kids, cancer diagnoses, the death of a loved one. And I write back as quickly as I can and assure them that I will.
To date, there are about 8,100 letters in my "Reader Letters" file drawer, and another 1,000 or so in my email address book. Did any of you have a pen pal when you were kid? Well a whole lot of these folks have become exactly that . . . letters and emails (and in a few rare cases, text messages) float from my house to theirs . . . some as far away as Rwanda!
Yeah, this sure is one wacky business. Where else can a gal hope to meet and interact with people from all around the world!
So this post is supposed to be me, talking about me and my books, right? (shrug) For some unknown reason, I have this feeling that today, it's more important to focus on you. Whether you're in New York, the Midwest, California, or the millions of places between . . . I'm prayin' for you, too. Yeah, okay, that sounds mucho-corny, but with all the fierce weather and tragic accidents and heartbreaking news we're surrounded by every day, I figure it can't hurt to add my tinny voice to the others floating heavenward. So here's hoping your weather is exactly the way you like it. And if you or anyone close to you is sick, well, that's on my "Check this out, God" list, too.
I'd like to share a little something with you . . . a "naggy mom" thing that I used to tell my daughters (both married with daughters of their own now): "There are two things in life that, once they're gone, you can never get back . . . your virginity, and time, so think long and hard about how you choose to spend both."
I know you're busy with work and family and God-knows-what-else, so I'm touched and thankful that you chose to spend a few minutes of your time with me today.
Wishing you and yours only the best that life has to offer.
Meet Loree
There are more than 3,000,000 copies of author Loree Lough's books in circulation! She has penned 82 fiction and nonfiction titles for adults and kids, one in addition to 68 short stories, and over 2,500 articles. She has amassed numerous accolades, including "Readers' Choice" awards and 4- and 5-star reviews.
Loree loves sharing learned-the-hard-way lessons about the craft of writing and the publishing industry. Her comedic approach makes her a favorite and frequent guest of writers' organizations, book clubs, private and government institutions, and college and high school writing programs.
Because she believes in "giving back," Loree dedicates a portion of her income to Soldiers' Angels, Special Operations Warrior Foundation, and other worthwhile organizations.
Loree splits her time between a tiny home in the Baltimore suburbs and an even tinier cabin in the Allegheny Mountains, both of which she shares with her real-life hero, Larry. He rarely complains, even when she adds yet another item to her vast collection of "wolf stuff."
Connect with Loree at her website, or on Facebook or Twitter.
Thank you, Loree!

As much as I love the snow and the cold of Winter here in Great Falls, I have to admit that sensing the arrival of Spring the last few mornings – birds chirping happily, non-freezing temps – has felt wonderful. Which is precisely one of the reasons that I love Great Falls – we get four seasons! So while it will be somewhat sad to bid farewell to Winter, it will be just as enjoyable to welcome Spring. Have you felt it too? Have you felt Spring in the air this week?

WAUWATOSA, WIS. – GE Healthcare, the $17 billion business unit of General Electric Company (NYSE: GE), today introduced the new Venue™ ultrasound product line to the medical market. The Venue 40, the first product launched, provides visualization for needle guidance procedures and rapid diagnostics in real-time at the bedside. These "point of care" settings are the fastest growing in ultrasound around the world. In the U.S., these applications grew an average of 30 percent per year over the past four years, as cited in a recent 2008 industry report issued by Klein Biomedical Consultants, an internationally recognized source of ultrasound market trends.
An intuitive touch screen and streamlined design make Venue 40 easy to use and easy to clean, especially for clinicians who use ultrasound to make immediate care decisions, or guide procedures.
Clinicians can execute all functions through an intuitive touch screen. Annotations and measurements can be entered quickly and precisely with a stylus. The sleek system is free from buttons, knobs or a keyboard on its touchscreen. Its small size and streamlined cart allows for imaging in some of the smallest of clinical spaces, such as at the bedside or in a trauma bay. The lightweight Venue 40 system can be easily transported from room to room. A clinician can quickly dock the compact ultrasound unit in the cart or table dock, without tools.
The Venue comes in five versions for the following procedures:

CP Gurnani, CEO of Tech Mahindra says that 94% of IT graduates are not eligible for jobs in Indian IT companies. Gurnani is laying the foundation for next level development in Tech Mahindra. He is busy preparing a road map of Tech Mahindra's next generation.
Gurnani says that entry into new technology such as Manpower Skilling and Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, Cyber Security, Machine Learning, is a big challenge for Indian IT companies. They think that when it comes to jobs, big IT companies do not consider 94% of IT graduates eligible for this.
Gurnani says that I give you an example of a city like Delhi. Today, a student with 60% marks cannot get admission in English, but he will definitely be admitted into engineering. My point is simple- are we not creating people for unemployment? The Indian IT industry wants skills.
He says that if you come to Tech Mahindra, I have created a five-acre tech & learning centre. Other top companies have also created similar facilities to skilled employees. For learnability, skill development and is ready for the market, the onus is now shifting onto the industry… Despite all this, the top 10 IT companies take only 6% of the engineering graduates. What happens to the remaining 94%?

The question is 'The use of Framlingham Castle has changed a lot over time' to what extent does the site and the sources support the hypothesis. Well in order to answer this question you must first break the question down and define it. So the first important word within this question is use meaning uses meaning how the castle was used. The next one is a lot being that this means more then once. The last two important words are site and sources this being the site of Framlingham castle at the moment and sources about the castle. So in order to answer the question I must use both of these to come to a good conclusion to the hypothesis.

History Of Framlingham Castle
Medieval Period
The site has been used since the sixth century. It was an anglo Saxon Fort. Under the Normans from 1066 onwards the Motte and Bailey were built so therefore the Hill at Framlingham is man made. Until 1101 it was under the control of the King. In 1101 the castle was given to Roger Le Bigod. HE fought with William The Conqueror at the battle of Hastings. He was also given lots of land in Norfolk, he was rewarded by Henry the first. Roger died and was followed by his son William. William however died at a fairly young age sailing back from France. Rogers' second son Hugh then got the estate.
Hugh Bigod
Hugh Bigod inherited the estate in 1120. In 1122 he was made constable of Norwich castle, which meant he looked after the castle for the crown. At this time Henry I only has a daughter called Matilda to take the thrown when he dies. There is a big crisis over gets the thrown. Stephen Of Blois claims the English thrown. Stephen plans to invade England once Henry dies. Henry dies when Matilda is in France so Stephen of Blois invades and is crowned King. Henry Bigod supports Stephens invasion but Hugh had promised Henry that he would help Matilda get the thrown. In the next year Hugh turns against king Stephen, he launches a rebellion from Norwich castle. King Stephen crushes this rebellion but forgives Hugh. In 1153 Hugh supports another invasion this time by Henry of Anjoue. The invasion is successful and Henry is crowned Henry II. In 1157 Hugh turns against Henry and Henry takes his army to Norfolk and defeats Hugh. Hugh however still keeps his estates. In 1173 Hugh then supports Henry the seconds son against Henry. However Hugh doesn't get any support so gives in and bribes other barons so they don't come in and take his estates. In 1174 Hugh attacks Norwich castle, Henry comes into Norwich and Hugh is forced to give in but keeps his land. The Bigods then abandon Framlingham as their base and move to Orford. Hugh Bigod dies in 1177 and the King confiscates Framlingham and the Bigods other estates.
Roger Bigod II
Richard becomes king to become Richard II. Richard likes the Bigod family and returns their estates including Framlingham. Roger Bigod then builds stonewalls around Framlingham castle. Roger remains loyal to King Richard. After Richard dies his cousin John gets the crown. John is forced to sign the Magna Carta in 1215. John had to follow rules like no other King had to do in English history. Bigod was one of the nobles who had to enforce these rules. John doesn't like having to follow these rules. In 1216 John attacks Framlingham. The battle lasts two days before Roger is forced to give in. The castle was defended by the following.
26 knights
20 soldiers and archers
7 crossbowmen
a chaplain
and 3 others (as stated in source D)
This shows that not many men were needed to defend a castle.
John confiscates all the Bigod estates. King John dies in 1221. He is succeeded to the thrown by Henry III and the Bigods are given back all their estates once again.
The next two controllers of Framligham are Hugh and Roger Bigod again but not much is known about these two.
Roger Bigod IV
He leads a rebellion against Edward I in 1297. He did this because the King tried to force barons to fight the war in France. The King threatens with death. In 1307 when roger dies the King confiscates everything.
In the 1300's Framlingham is a royal castle. In 1397 Richard II awards the Thomas Mowbray with title of Duke Of Norfolk and so Mowbray is loyal to him. The Mowbrays control the Framlingham estate until the latter parts of the 15th century.
16th century
In 1485 the war of the roses ended with the battle of Bosworth where Henry Tudor defeats Richard III to become Henry VII. The Howards were loyal to Henry so he awarded them the Dukeship of Norfolk. They then get the Framlingham estate. During there time at the Castle they use it as luxury place to live. They build 13 Tudor style chimneys all along the walls of the castle and only two of these actually work. All the chimneys have a different pattern on them. The chimneys are a sign of status so the better the chimneys are the higher in status you are. The Howard family fall out of favour with Henry the VIII after the reformation of the church as they were strict Catholics and objected to it. Thomas Howard was imprisoned in the tower of London and was going to be executed on the 24th of June 1547 luckily for Thomas, Henry dies before the execution date.
Mary Tudor
Edward VI came to the thrown and gave Framlingham to his sister Mary. She becomes queen in 1553 when Edward dies. But before she becomes queen there is a crisis over the thrown as the powers that be did not want a catholic ruler even if she was the rightful heir. Lady Jane Grey became queen for 9 days during which Mary stayed at Framlingham and 20,000 supporters of hers camped outside to show their support. During her reign Mary does not stay at Framlingham again.
End of 16th century
17th century
Elizabeth I
The castle is held by the crown. During her reign the castle was used as a prison for catholic priests (recusant priests) who refused to change religions. In 1613 the castle is returned to the Howards. The Howards do not live there again though and from then on they live in Kenninghall in Norfolk.
17th century – 19th century
In 1635 they sell the castle to Robert Hitcham a wealthy lawyer and MP. He wants the stone from the castle to be used to build a poorhouse. In 1636 Robert Hitcham died and left the property to Pembroke College. The building of the poorhouse started in 1664.Mainly children live there. They go there to get work, they also get education. 1699+ the poorhouse tended to be adults as the children were apprenticed out. The poorhouse functions until 1839.
19th Century
A Law is passed so each parish didn't have their own poor house but union poor houses were made so there were very large poorhouses for more then 1 parish. So now the poor would go to Wickham market so Framlingham was used very sporadically for a drill hall and fire station.
20th Century
in 1913 Pembroke College handed over Framlingham to the state, when in 1984 it was taken over by the English Heritage and is now used as a music center as it has very good acoustic qualities and also as a tourist center.
National Events And How They Affected Framlingham Castle
Medieval Times
During this time castles were granted to barons for being loyal and supporting the crown militarily. In this time three important families owned Framlingham in turn these being the Bigods, Mowbrays and Howards. The Bigods and Mowbrays both had histories of rebelling against the monarch as used the castle as a base to do this. So if they failed the castle and estates would be taken from the proprietor.
Sixteenth Century
This was the period when the reformation of the churches occurred. This is when the protestant church broke away from the Roman Catholic church and Henry VIII made himself head of the church of England. As a result there was conflicts between catholic and Protestants. The way these two groups were treated depended on the monarch. Where Edward and Elizabeth were protestants so favoured them while Mary was catholic so favoured them. While Elizabeth was in power she used Framlingham as a prison for recusant priest as a result of the reformation of the church.
Also with the reformation the monasteries in England were closed down. Now you may think that this wouldn't be a problem but the monasteries did a lot of work helping the old, sick and poor. The church could no longer help the amount of people they once did. Food prices increased and growing population meant that unemployment increased. Thus it was up to the monarchy to help these people. In 1601 under Elizabeth's reign a law was passed called "The Elizabethan Poor Law" this meant that:
Each Parish had to look after their own poor
A poor rate was to be collected from every household by Overseers of the church (often church wardens)
Each parish had to build a poorhouse where the poor could live and work. There work would be simple like making rope and any money made would go back into the running cost of the poorhouse (this was called indoor relief)
Where no poorhouses were built people would be helped in their homes (this was called outdoor beliefs)
This is why Framlingham had a poorhouse built there.
19th Century
In 1834 a new poor law passed. Saying that parishes had to come together to make 'union' work. This meant more often then not paupers (poor people) would now have to receive help outside their parish. This meant that buildings that were there for the original poor law were now left abandoned. This is why Framingham's poorhouse stopped functioning.
Another important part of this time period was the Victorian attitude to old buildings. During this time Victorians built many new buildings in the gothic style such as the houses of parliament. The Victorians were not very interested in preserving old buildings so many buildings such as castles fell into disrepair. Which is why Framlingham was only used very sparadically
20th Century
In the twentieth century societies with the aims of preserving buildings and sites directly linked with our past were setup. These include "English Heritage" and "National Trust". The tourism industry grew with people becoming paid members of these groups. The profits from the organizations are then used to purchase more sites and restore them thus leading to even bigger growth of the tourism industry. Also at the same time as this history became a larger part in school teaching and so these sites are also used by schools as trip locations and fieldwork.
Uses Of The Castle During The Different Time Periods And How Its Been Adapted For These (conclusion)
Medieval Period
In the medieval period Framlingham castle was used as a basis to attack and defend. There were many things that made Framlingham suited for this. The Anglo Saxons first notices this as they built a fort here. The motte and bailey was added by the Normans to go in keeping with the rest of there castles as the Normans felt this was the best way for quick and easy building of defence positions, you can see the motte and bailey in the site pictures. Roger Bigod II built stonewalls around the site with defence in mind. You can see this for a number of reasons. The walls are very large and thick as stated in source A ' It has walls 4 feet high and 8 feet thick" First off the Crenellation of the top of the wall is a defense feature. The crenellation is made up of merlons and embrasures. A merlon is where there is a gap in the wall and an embrasure is where the wall is raised. You can see this in Sorrel's painting of medieval Framlingham (painted in the 1950's) and also in the site photos I have taken. This was so the crossbowmen or anyone on the wall at a time of attack could hide and then pop out and fire. Another feature is the arrow loops. This was there to add extra protection for the defenders of the castle again you can see this in my site photos. Another feature of Framlingham, which made it a good place of defence, is the landscape. Around the castle there is a natural lake and so the land is a little marshy. So the attackers had a hard time just getting to the castle again the site photos show this. The walls had 13 towers along them, which were each like miniature castles themselves. The attackers would have to come over the wall and take all 13 towers before the castle would be conquered. Once a tower had been taken the defenders would remove a wooden plank bridge cutting off access to the rest of the wall walk. The staircases in the towers went anti clockwise. This was because the attackers would be coming down the stairs after coming over the wall rather then up the stairs from coming in through the main gateway. They were anti clockwise so the defenders had the advantage as because most people were right handed they could have the largest swing on their swords. Also the castle has a natural well which is a good water supply so that the inhabitants could survive a siege, this is shown in the.
16th Century
16th century onwards it was no longer used as a place for attack or defence. Instead in the 16th century it was used by the Howard's as a luxury home. They changed it from a defence base to a home by doing a number of things. They build 13 Tudor style chimneys all along the walls of the castle and only two of these actually work. All the chimneys have a different pattern on them. The chimneys are a sign of status so the better the chimneys are the higher in status you are. You can see this in the site photos. The Howard's also added brickwork around the castle. They did this to maintain safety, as they would have had children around so the made sure the crenellation was high enough so they didn't fall down and also covered the well so the children didn't fall in that. They also added brickwork to maintain the classic shape of the crenellation.
17th Century
During the late 16th century and the early 17th century the castle was owned by the crown and Elizabeth I used it as a prison for recusant priests. She didn't make any changes to the site however for this.
In 1664 stone from the site was used to build a poorhouse there. This was the wish of Robert Hitcham who had bought the property from the Howard's in 1635 but died the next year and left the property to Pembroke College. Once the poorhouse was finished mostly children went there to get work but they also got an education. As stated in source H 'Children were clothed in blew bonnets as at Christ Church Hospital and to have Sir Robert Hitcham's arms upon their coats… The master of the poorhouse was every day to give leave to each child two hours to read, write or cast accounts as the School Master think fittest' The poorhouse was built using stone from the Great Hall and or the Chapel. The poorhouse was built on the site of the Great Hall. The poorhouse functions until 1839.
19th Century
After 1839 Framlingham was used sparadically as a drill hall and firestation but was not lived in.
In 1913 Pembroke College handed over the site to the State. In 1984 it was taken over by English Heritage where it is now used as a tourist center and also a place where concerts are held because of its excellent acoustic qualities. This is shown in source J 'Jazz at Fram'. In source J it gives details of events happening at Framlingham castle. In order for English Heritage to make it into a tourist center they restored some of the stonework and also made the wall walk safe, so basically just made everything safer for the public.
So in conclusion you can see that by using the Site and the sources that Framlingham Castle's use has changed a lot from the time it was built to present day. So in effect I agree with the hypothesis in the question.
