Civil Parish
In England, a civil parish is a type of administrative parish used for local government. It is a territorial designation which is the lowest tier of local government. Civil parishes can trace their origin to the ancient system of parishes, which for centuries were the principal unit of secular and religious administration in most of England and Wales. Civil and religious parishes were formally split into two types in the 19th century and are now entirely separate. Civil parishes in their modern form came into being through the Local Government Act 1894 ( 56 & 57 Vict. c. 73), which established elected parish councils to take on the secular functions of the parish vestry. A civil parish can range in size from a sparsely populated rural area with fewer than a hundred inhabitants, to a large town with a population in excess of 100,000. This scope is similar to that of municipalities in continental Europe, such as the communes of France. However, unlike their continental Euro ...

He was knighted in 1569 and was chosen member of parliament for Southampton in 1572. His connection with Ireland, began in 1579, when he was appointed vice-treasurer of that country.

However, Sir Henry reached Dublin and was soon immersed in the troubles caused by the rebellion of Gerald FitzGerald, 15th Earl of Desmond, finding, in his own words, it was "easier to talk at home of Irish wars than to be in them". In July 1582, he and Adam Loftus, archbishop of Dublin, were appointed Lord Justices for Ireland. They were responsible f ...

English Array
English Array was a British fascist group and offshoot of the English Mistery founded and led by Lord Lymington. Foundation In 1930, the English Mistery was founded by William Sanderson. Sanderson was by all accounts a 'difficult' man to deal with, and by 1935 the Mistery was being divided into two factions, one loyal to Sanderson and another to Lymington. The breaking point occurred when Lymington's first marriage ended in divorce in 1936 on the grounds of unfaithfulness on his part and he promptly married his mistress. Sanderson felt that Lymington's behaviour was not proper for the "chief syndic" of the Mistery and asked him to resign. The majority of the members of the Mistery followed Lymington who founded the English Array in December 1936 while Sanderson remained the leader of a rump Mistery that soon faded into irrelevance. The ideology of the English Array was precisely the same as that of English Mistery, while the difference was that the new leader was Lymington. The En ...
