Chester Cathedral is a Church of England cathedral in the city of Chester in Cheshire. It was formerly the abbey church of a Benedictine monastery dedicated to Saint Werburgh. Since 1541 it has been the seat of the Bishop of Chester.

The cathedral, is typical of English cathedrals and has been modified many times. It dates from between 1093 and the early 16th century, although the site itself may have been used for Christian worship since Roman times. All the major styles of English medieval architecture, from Norman to Perpendicular, are represented in the present building.

Newham 7 Defence Campaign

May 11, 2016

In 1985 7 Asian youths from Newham were arrested by the police and charged with conspiracy to cause criminal damage and affray. At the same time a series of racist attacks had occured which the police did virtually nothing about. As a result, on 15 June 1984, the Newham 7 Defence Campaign was officially launched at a packed local public meeting. On 11 May 1985, over 2000 people participated in a peaceful demonstration that completed its route to Plashet Park. “In a tense atmosphere, the manhandling by police of one black youth led to confrontation, the emergence of officers on horseback and riot officers who charged into the park. It appeared that this had been deliberately engineered: three to four white men in ordinary clothes were seen throwing sticks at the police; but were later seen behind police lines with police radios. Later, riot officers paraded along Green Street and East ham High Street North in a show of strength” (Newham Montoring Project).You can read all about the Newham 7 here: http://www.nmp.org.uk/timeline/newham-7-and-the-pryce-family/
