In the World of Narnia - Tree People are wood gods and goddesses who use their trees as their physical bodies. They are described as beautiful giants and giantesses who have branch-like hair and fingers. They have roots for feet and wade in the earth like humans do in water. A whole swarm of trees dance sleepily around Lucy and Aslan when they are reunited, and even aid the Old Narnian Army in defeating the Telmarines. During the Hundred Years' Winter, many tree spirits turned evil and joined the White Witch's side, I think I saw a brightly coloured one handing out tickets and I don’t think they were lucky ones. However generations later, they aid the Old Narnian Army in defeating the Telmarines.
In Our world - Protestant martyrs
In 1555 Mary I, a Roman Catholic, ordered three of the leading Protestant bishops, Cranmer, Latimer and Ridley, to be burned at the stake. These men were the first of the Protestant martyrs in England, who died because of their religious beliefs. Three of the squares in Christchurch were supposed to be named after them, but Ridley Square became Cathedral Square instead.
One of the first stone churches in Christchurch, St John the Baptist Anglican church, was built on the edge of Latimer Square in 1864.
In 1860 Latimar Square was uncultivated. The Tree People arrived here in the 1870’s to 1880’sA letter from secretary of the Albion Cricket Club was sent to the Chairman of the Municipal Council requesting the use of Latimer Square as a cricket pitch, July 1862. The square was not at this time bisected by Worcester Street. The club ploughed up the entire square and sowed English grasses. And in 1885 a band rotunda was in the middle. (and a pie cart until a few year ago).
