SUMMARY:Swavesey and District History Society
DESCRIPTION:20 May.  The Spinning House.  How Cambridge University locked up women in their private prison.  Caroline Biggs.  In 1561 the university was granted legal powers to deny the townswomen of Cambridge basic rights.  Josephine Butler (1828–1906) became famous for highlighting the iniquity of the Contagious Diseases Acts (CDAs) of the 1860s\, based on the 1561 powers\, whereby any woman suspected of being a prostitute or even being seen anywhere near a student could be spirited away by a university “bulldog” and imprisoned in the notoriously filthy Spinning House jail\, with no right to appeal or to a trial by jury.   Emma Kemp was sentenced to fourteen days after being “found in the company of members of the university”.  Jane Elsden was given two weeks for “not coming quietly” when hauled off the streets.  Victorian hypocrisy is everywhere in this story. \nAt least half of our members live in Over\, including our Secretary.  The History Society meets at 7.30 p.m. on the third Tuesday of the month in The Carol Shaw Room at Swavesey Village College – through the main entrance then 20 metres along the corridor to the right.  No need to book so you are welcome to just walk in.  If you want further information\, contact our Secretary\, Carolyn on carolyn.redmayne@ntlworld.com or on 01954 230037. \n

SUMMARY:Swavesey and District History Society
DESCRIPTION:22 April.  The Workhouse and Poorhouse – 700 years of old and new Poor Laws.  Colin Chapman.  The Poor Law of 1601 levied a mandatory poor rate on every parish.  Those who were too ill\, old\, destitute\, or who were orphaned children were put into a local ‘workhouse’ or ‘poorhouse’.  These were tax-supported residential institutions started as a method of providing a less expensive (to the taxpayers) alternative to what we would nowadays call “welfare”.  Poor housing conditions included leaking pipes or roofs\, inadequate heating and\, in due course\, dangerous electrical wiring.  In November of 1845 the diet of the inmates consisted primarily of bread\, meat\, potatoes\, sweet milk\, sour milk\, oatmeal and tea. \nAt least half of our members live in Over\, including our Secretary.  The History Society meets at 7.30 p.m. on the third Tuesday of the month in The Carol Shaw Room at Swavesey Village College – through the main entrance then 20 metres along the corridor to the right.  No need to book so you are welcome to just walk in.  If you want further information\, contact our Secretary\, Carolyn on carolyn.redmayne@ntlworld.com or on 01954 230037.

SUMMARY:Swavesey & District History Society - March meeting
DESCRIPTION:18 March.  The History of Toys.  Ken Sneath.  The earliest toys were made from natural materials\, such as sticks and clay.  They became more widespread with changing attitudes towards children and childhood and in the nineteenth century those with an educational purpose\, such as puzzles\, books and board games were prioritised.  In 1903 Beatrix Poter created the first Peter Rabbit soft toy and registered him at the Patent Office\, making Peter the oldest licensed character.  Lego\, Barbie Doll and Action Man were once popular and the Rubik’s Cube became an enormous seller in the 1980s. \nAt least half of our members live in Over\, including our Secretary.  The History Society meets at 7.30 p.m. on the third Tuesday of the month in The Carol Shaw Room at Swavesey Village College – through the main entrance then 20 metres along the corridor to the right.  No need to book so you are welcome to just walk in.
