Fore them need-fere, nænig uuiorðe
thonc snottora thon him thearf sie
to imb-hicgenne, er his hin ionge;
huet his gaaste goodes oððe ifles,
efter death dæge, doemed uuiorðe
Before that necessary journey, none shall [have]
baleful-thought of prudence [any more] than for him duty is
to think about, ere his hence going;
what his spirit of good or evil,
after the day of death, judged shall be.
We also support ENGLAND MONTH
England month begins on the eve of Trafalgar Day on October the 20th and ends on St Edmund’s Day on November the 20th, St Edmund the Martyr was the first patron saint of the English. His saint’s day coincides with the wedding anniversary of the Queen and Prince Phillip.England Month includes St Crispin’s Day on the 25th*, King Alfreds’s Day on the 26th of October and Armistice Day.
* Agincourt, Henry V “ We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile, This day shall gentle his condition; And gentlemen in England now-a-bed Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.”
We are working to raise awareness of the nation’s heroes such as Lord Bill Slim and Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson.
We wish to foster interest in our country’s folk traditions.
We also intend to revive interest in England’s linguistic heritage, for example, by supporting the work of the Yorkshire Dialect Society, the Lakeland Dialect Society, Norfolk Dialect Society, Black Country Dialect Dictionary, and the Northumbrian Language Society.
We seek to introduce the public to the work of the Rev William Barnes, the Dorset dialect poet and polymath, both to his poetry in the dialect and his proposals for National English which are being are being developed today by David Cowley and Father Andrew Phillips.
