TITLE Whitehall - the road to power and glory
DATE Thursday 14 March 2019
SPEAKER Mr Peter Lawrence
From Palace to Political Engine Room - how Whitehall has evolved from Tudor times to be the focus of present day Political Power.
February 2019Talk - The History of the Romany People
“Cushti atchin tan”
In the Romany language those words mean “a good place to draw up the van”. Blakeney Village Hall was very cushti on 21 February, when Charlotte Paton spoke at our monthly meeting about “1000 years of Romany History”. Originating in northern India and what is now Pakistan in about 1000BC the people we know as Romany, Gypsies or Roma began to disperse across Europe. They settled as far as Egypt (from where the name “Gypsies” derived) and in Mediterranean and northern Europe. The earliest known Romanies in Britain travelled to Scotland from Finland and remained in the Borders area for 200 - 300 years, where they became established as entertainers for wealthy landowners.
Charlotte told us how the Romanies accepted the religion of the countries they were in, and were generally Christian. In Britain, travelling Romanies were, contrary to myth, preoccupied with cleanliness and hygiene, and were expert in herbal treatment of illnesses, because they had no access to medical services. They were also driven by a strong moral code that, for example, did not tolerate adultery or licentiousness. Disputes were usually settled by fist fights.
