In many ways the volumes get better and better, and this fourth volume is the best yet. As well as twenty-four churches in the Deanery it covers three houses, with fuller notes on one family (the Jodrells) and Peter le Neve. The illustrations are clear and the information on what is to be found in the individual churches and houses is supplemented with helpful photographs. There is an index of names and blazons at the back which will be of great assistance to researchers seeking a particular coat of arms. The one fault - and a surprising one - to be found is some erroneous descriptions of Royal Arms. James I and VI would be surprised to learn that his innovation of bringing Ireland into the Arms was seen as adding Wales, and Queen Anne would have been surprised to see that she became a Hanoverian following the Act of Union with Scotland. There is also a strange comment about an inn-sign for a hostelry called The Kings Arms showing the current Royal Arms, said to date from 1845: "presumably for King Edward or King George". Perhaps the date should be 1945? MANCHESTER HERALDRY STUDY The Greater Manchester Heraldry Society will be holding their eleventh heraldry study at Worsley Court House on October 14th. Speakers will include Peter Marshall, Diarmid Pattinson, John Titterton and Malcolm Howe - all on a variety of heraldic subjects "with a northern flavour". Tickets, inclusive of a light luncheon, are same as last year at £10 and may be obtained from our Treasurer, Alan Bacon, 17 St Christopher’s Ave, Ashton under Lyne, OL6 9DT ADVERTISING RATES Visit the website at www.theheraldrysociety.com MEMBERSHIP NEWS We welcome the following new members: S C Allan New York N Whyberd W Sussex D Stephens Dublin Anglia Heraldry Group Essex S Cameron Yorkshire J Crowley USA G Ingham Gloucester G Ellis-Hughes Wales N Griffin Lancashire J Houston Beds Lord Norrys Ayrshire We have heard with regret of the death of the following members: Mr. E.

THE 2005 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING The 2005 Annual General Meeting will be held at the Society of Antiquaries, Burlington House, Piccadilly, London W1 at 6.30 pm on Tuesday, December 13th. A formal notice is enclosed with this mailing. The Council members retiring by rotation this year are Mr David White (Deputy Chairman) and Mr Geoff Robson. Both offer themselves for re-election. There is also one vacancy, which Council recommends should not be filled: a Resolution to this effect will be put to the Annual General Meeting. This will result in the Council having eight elected members; the Articles provide for a minimum of four. Experience has shown that working with eight elected and three non-elected members (the President, the Hon. Secretary and the Hon. Treasurer) is efficient and effective. The present intention is for Council to remain at that size. The Articles provide that a member of the Society may nominate another member for election to the Council provided the nomination is made not less than six weeks before the AGM (which this year would be 1st November) and accompanied by written consent to nomination signed by the person concerned. If no nominations are received the retiring members will be declared re-elected. PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPETITION Enclosed with this issue is the entry form for the Heraldry Society Photographic Competition 2005, which was announced in the two previous issues of the "Gazette". Council hopes that the competition will prove popular with members, and generate some striking photographic images of heraldic subjects. Please be sure to note the closing date for entries, which is 30th October 2005. Visit the website at www.theheraldrysociety.com 15
