The Ship, Ship Lane, Lower End, Marsworth

Grade II Listed 17th century former public house and shop. Canal side pubs generate many tales including here rumours of highwaymen bedding down for the evening. Information on the pub is thin on the ground but in 1941 a Bucks Herald obituary refers to a Mr Alfred Bird who had resided with his sister 'of the "Ship" Inn'. Searching directories under Marsworth (aka Masworth) I find no Ship but perhaps it is just listed as beer retailer, 1853 two beer retailers Thomas Lines and Robert Russell (& shopkeeper), 1876 John Jellis beer retailer (& grocer & coal merchant), 1883 two beer retailers George and John Jellis (George is John’s son and pubwiki lists John at the Ship from 1864 to 1891 when he’s shown as a publican in the census), 1899-1903 John Smith beer retailer and 1907-1915 Thomas Chamberlain beer retailer. Before 1853 Ma(r)sworth is not in my directories.

Spiderlings (Araneus diadematus)

This clutch of newly hatched baby spiders (known as "spiderlings") were clinging to a web on one of our water butts. I believe they are one of the many Orb Web/Weaver spider species in the genus Araneus, most probably Araneus diadematus which has several English names, notably European garden spider, diadem spider, cross spider and crowned orb weaver. To give a sense of scale the total area covered by this cluster was perhaps a little bigger than a £2 coin. A few minutes later however they had clumped themselves together into a far tighter bunch - see SP9211 : Spiderlings (Araneus diadematus) - in a bunch If any arachnologists out there would like to confirm or dispute my identification, I would be more than pleased to hear from you! [Update 1st June] All the spiderlings have now disappeared without trace, whether they have dispersed to become solo spiders - or have been predated upon I have no idea. This Link will bring up a selection of other Geograph images of Araneus diadematus, mostly adults.

Spiderlings (Araneus diadematus) - in a bunch

A few minutes after taking SP9211 : Spiderlings (Araneus diadematus) the mass of little spiderlings had grouped themselves tightly together forming a little blob no bigger than a £1 coin. The little fellow top left looks to be the last one to join the scrum! See the linked photo above for more information on these baby spiders. [Update 1st June] All the spiderlings have now disappeared without trace, whether they have dispersed to become solo spiders - or have been predated upon I have no idea. This Link will bring up a selection of other Geograph images of Araneus diadematus, mostly adults.
