    Today’s Times (of London) carries an article on John of Westwyk, a monk – working at the end of the 14th century – who carried out calculations on the positions of the planets using an equatorium. Apparently he resided at the local priory for some time.

    David, so you follow in illustrious footsteps! Chelmsford has Calver of course. A more recent connection but not an orbital dynamicist.
