Stevenage began as a Saxon village in 7th Century Hertfordshire. It was called Stith ac, which means strong oak. In those days trees were used as meeting places and perhaps one large oak used in that way gave Stevenage its name. At any rate by the time of the Domesday Book in 1086 Stevenage was a little village. To us it would seem tiny but settlements were very small in those days. At the time of the Domes-day Book Stevenage belonged to the Abbey of Westminster.
Later the settlement moved position to a place closer to a main road, the Great North Road. The shift may have happened suddenly or gradually. At any rate as a result people were able to sell goods and services to travellers and so Stevenage flourished. Perhaps the people deliberately moved to take advantage of the traffic.
In the late 13th century Stevenage be-came a small market town. From 1281 it had weekly markets (in those days there were very few shops and if you wished to buy or sell anything you had to go to market). Stevenage was also granted annual fairs. (In the Middle Ages fairs were like markets but they were held only once a year. They at-tracted buyers and sellers from a wide area).
In the 14th century Stevenage prob-ably had a population of not more than 1,000. To us it would seem very small but towns were tiny in the Middle Ages. Some of the people in the town made their living at least partly from farm-ing. Stevenage had a common where townspeople grazed their livestock.
Then in 1349 disaster struck when the Black Death reached Stevenage. The town lost much of its population. How-ever Stevenage soon recovered.
Thomas Alleyne founded a grammar school in Stevenage in 1558.
Through the centuries life in Steve-nage continued to be much the same. Then in 1720 the road from Stevenage to Biggleswade was turnpiked. In oth-er words it was made a private road owned and maintained by a turnpike trust. Travellers had to pay to use it.

A History of Stevenage,by Tim Lambert
W: yourlocalmag.net E: [email protected] page 7
In 1801, at the time of the first cen-sus Stevenage was a tiny market town with a population of a little over 1,400. (Not much bigger than it was in the Middle Ages). By 1901 it had grown to over 4,000. Meanwhile amenities in the town improved. From 1855 the streets of Stevenage were lit by gas. From 1887 Stevenage had a piped water sup-ply. In 1834 National (Church of Eng-land) schools for boys and girls opened in the town. Holy Trinity Church was built in 1862. In 1894 Stevenage was granted an urban district council.
Then in 1946 the New Town Act was passed. The government planned to move people from Inner London to market towns away from the capital. Stevenage was the first community se-lected to be a new town. In the 1950s and 1960s six new neighbourhoods were created. The Queen opened the town centre in 1959 and a new railway station was built Stevenage in 1973.
Today the population of Stevenage is about 80,000.
From the mid-18th century stage-coaches began to pass through Steve-nage. By the early 19th century about 20 coaches were passing through each day. Naturally passengers spent money in the town and it prospered. However in 1850 the railway reached Stevenage and the stagecoaches ended.

However in 1850 the railway reached Stevenage and the stagecoaches ended.
From 1763 Stevenage had a primi-tive fire engine with a hand-operated pump. It was needed in 1807 and in 1829 when severe fires struck the town.

COMPUTER TIP : BETTER BROWSING
Although your computer will have been delivered with Internet Explorer installed, it’s not the only browser available and not necessarily the best. Mozilla Firefox for example is one of the most widely adopted and is free to download from www.mozilla.com. You can customise the look of the browser by applying a theme of which hundreds of different options are available. Also when you shut down your browser window at night, Firefox can remember each page you were looking at and reopen them all for you the next morning.
It’s also easy to save your favourite sites in Firefox. When you are on a web page that you access frequently e.g. your internet banking, you just drag the tab to the line above and this will then store the icon on a toolbar so you can do a single click to access the page next time.
Safari, Google Chrome and Opera are three other web-site browsers worth taking a look at too.
GARDENING
Mulching provides massive benefits to your gar-den but you do need to investigate which type of mulch material you and your garden require.
Mulch is a layer of material, organic or inor-ganic, that is laid over your planted beds and not dug in. The main benefit of mulching your garden is suppression of weed growth. Also, if you choose the right sort of material it will add nutrients to the ground and improve the texture of the soil as it gradually rots down and incorpo-rates over the year.
Many types of mulch exist and you can either buy it ready made or create your own. Apart from plastics and other matting, all are organic and will add bulk and nutrients to the soil. Con-sideration should be made as to what you want to achieve with your mulch as the material you choose will affect your soil in a number of ways. Each mulch has a different appearance, and this ‘look’ may be more important to you than the benefits.
Bark is a wonderful addition to heavy soils and is one of the most commonly used mulches. It looks good and is sold in different sized chips. It is particularly useful for heavy clays.
Well-rotted manure isn’t the most attractive of mulches but it is the most beneficial to your plants. You could however cover it with chipped bark for an extremely efficient and more aes-thetically appealing mulch.
Cocoa shells are popular but have drawbacks. If you have a dog you may find that Rover is very attracted to the scent of the chips but if he eats them, it will make him sick. Some people find the sweet smell of cocoa shells attractive while others find it repulsive.
Gravel or grit won’t improve your soil, but are useful to spread around small areas such as alpine gardens where plants are prone to rot around their base if in contact with too much water.
Crushed glass, polished pebbles, and crushed shells are being sold now and while attractive, they are expensive so would look good as a deco-ration around the tops of planters and tubs.
So, decide on the effect you want in your garden and get your wheelbarrow and shovel out. Your garden and flowers will thank you for it.
Hints and tips
Neutering or ‘spay-ing’ a female ani-mal involves remov-ing the womb and ovaries. Males are castrated - the tes-ticles are removed. Both operations are stra ightforward. They are carried out under general anaesthetic and the animals recover quickly.
VET’S TIP: CAT NEUTERING
Both male and female cats should be considered for neutering. Female cats may present the problem of an unwanted litter and also, when in season, can attract many male cats to your property.
Unneutered male cats can be aggressive, tend to wan-der from home and also mark their territory by urinat-ing-a smell which is difficult to eliminate.
Despite the popular myth, there is no good reason for allowing a cat to produce a litter and the normal health risks associated with birth and pregnancy can actually be harmful.
Your cat should be neutered as early as possible-ideally between four and five months old.

The story of Rango the chameleon is an animated offering from the special-effects giants Industrial Light & Magic.
The company that gave us the effects for the Star Wars movies has produced an eye-popping epic, reuniting direc-tor Gore Verbinski with his Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp. Industrial Light & Magic are owned by George Lucas’s company Lucasfilm, and are recognised as the industry gold standard. So imagine the visual treat that Rango will provide, with its unique looks and superb effects.
Depp plays Rango, a pet chameleon with a lively imagination. Stranded in the Old West town of Dirt, he finds a population of desert critters who don’t take kindly to strangers - espe-cially strangers who want to protect law-abiding citizens. This promises to be a showcase for the technological wizardry for which Industrial Light & Magic is renowned, as well as a hilarious treat.
You should see it because: It’s a superb visit to the Old West, so good you’ll feel like you’re fighting along-side Rango himself!

Why is St Patricks day celebrated?
St. Patrick, the Patron Saint of Ireland, died on 17 March 461 AD and the day has been cel-ebrated ever since. St. Patrick spent thirty years building and setting up monasteries and places of worship all around Ireland. Since the earliest centuries of Christianity, it has been a custom to celebrate the anniver-sary of saints’ deaths. This allows believers to honor the saint’s accomplishments and cel-ebrate their entry into heaven. A “feast day” is designated for every saint, even when the exact date of death of a saint is not known. St. Patrick was a fifth-century English (or per-haps Scottish) missionary to Ireland. Scholars agree he is a historical figure and that he con-verted many of the pagans on the island to Christianity, but dismiss most of the legend that has developed about him over the centuries.
The feast day of St. Patrick has been ob-served in Ireland on March 17 for hundreds of years. The date falls during the fasting sea-son of Lent, but on St. Patrick’s Day the pro-hibitions against eating meat were lifted, and the Irish would celebrate their patron saint with dancing, drinking, and feasting on the traditional meal of Irish bacon and cabbage.

The First Parade
The first St. Patrick’s Day pa-rade took place not in Ireland but in the United States. Irish soldiers serving in the Eng-lish military marched through New York City on March 17, 1762. Along with their mu-sic, the parade helped the soldiers reconnect with their Irish roots, as well as fellow Irishmen serving in the Eng-lish army. Over the next 35 years, Irish patriotism among Ameri-can immigrants flourished, prompting the rise of so-called “Irish Aid” societies like the Friendly Sons of Saint Patrick and the Hibernian So-ciety. Each group would hold annual parades featuring bagpipes (which actually first became popular in the Scot-tish and British armies) and drums.
In 1848, several New York Irish Aid societies decided to unite their parades to form one New York City St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Today, that pa-rade is the world ‘s oldest civilian parade and the larg-est in the United States, with over 150,000 participants.
Each year, nearly three mil-lion people line the 1.5-mile parade route to watch the procession, which takes more than five hours. Boston, Chi-cago, Philadelphia and Savan-nah also celebrate the day with parades involving be-tween 10,000 and 20,000 par-ticipants.

Mother’s Day is commemorated worldwide although the dates dif-fer from country to country. In the UK, the correct name for Mother’s Day is Mothering Sunday and it always falls on the 4th Sunday of Lent, three weeks before Easter. Because the dates of Easter and Lent vary from year to year, the date of Mothering Sunday also var-ies. This year it falls on 3rd April.
Although mothers have been re-vered since Prehistoric times, this particular tribute day to moth-ers has been recognised since the 17th century. In those days, it was common for children to move away from home at an early age to work in service or on apprentice-ships from as young as ten years old. They lived in their employers’ houses and rarely had time off to see their families.
They would worship regularly in their nearest church, known as their ‘Daughter’ church. Howev-er, it was considered extremely important for everyone to return at least once a year to worship at their ‘Mother’ church, the one in which they were baptised. Serv-ants were given the day off to re-turn home and spend some time with their family and to worship at their Mother church. This day became known as Mothering Sun-
As this would probably be their only holiday of the year they would take gifts for their family. There might have been a Simnel cake (a marzipan covered fruit cake) from a generous employer to save until the end of Lent and posies of wild flowers gathered from the hedge-rows. The luxurious fruit-filled Simnel cake signified an end to the austerity of Lent.
During the 19th century, Mother-ing Sunday celebrations started to wane but after World War 2 the tradition was picked up again, with influence from America, and has continued to be recognised in the fairly original way ever since.Customary Mother’s Day gifts in-clude chocolates, flowers and pampering days, but if you ask any mum, she will probably say that the only present she wants on Mother’s Day is the presence of
