# Gottfried Wals

Gottfried Wals, or Goffredo Wals (c. 1595 – 1638) was a German painter who spent most of his career in Italy. He was sometimes referred to as Goffredo Tedesco (Goffredo the German).

## Biography

Little is known about his early life, except that he was born in Cologne. He wandered about through numerous Italian cities, including Naples and Genoa; arriving in Rome around 1615. There, he became an assistant to Agostino Tassi, a harsh master who attacked him with blows from a club and was briefly imprisoned in 1616, when Wals filed a complaint.
The following year, he lived with the newly arrived Massimo Stanzione, in the Roman quarter of Trastevere. From 1620 to 1622, Claude Lorrain was an occasional student of his. In 1623, he was back in Genoa with Antonio Travi as his student.
Most of his works were in small format, often circular and painted on copper. His interest in composition and lighting is very marked and often bears resemblance to the works of Filippo Napoletano, who was in turn a follower of Adam Elsheimer.
Few works of his have come down to us. His Catalogue raisonné contains only twenty-five works that have been definitely identified as painted by him. In comparison, it is known that, in 1634, the Belgian-born merchant, Gaspard De Roomer (c.1600–1674) of Naples, owned sixty of his landscapes and fourteen drawings.
He most probably died in Calabria, during or shortly after the earthquake of 27 March 1638, which killed almost 10,000 people.

Batford is a village in Hertfordshire, England, located on the River Lea on the outskirts of Harpenden. Batford Springs is a local nature reserve alongside the river and the village green, which has a small play area for children. The large red brick building at the southern end of the village between the river and the Lower Luton Road was originally a water mill. It is now used as offices, and the river has been diverted around the building. Batford Methodist Church built in 1905 and shows the distinctive "modern" architecture of that time.
During World War II a large prisoner of war camp was located in Batford, adjoining what is now Common Lane, and prisoners were present there until about 1947. When they had gone, the camp buildings were used to house local people who were waiting for housing, which was in short supply at the time. Within a few years, a large housing estate was built on the site of the POW camp by the local authority.
Batford has a Tesco Express/filling station, a Co-op supermarket, a fish and chip shop, two pubs, an Indian takeaway, and various other shops and small factory units.

# John Punnett Peters

John Punnett Peters (December 16, 1852 – November 10, 1921) was an American Episcopal clergyman and Orientalist.

## Biography

John Punnett Peters was born in New York City on December 16, 1852. He graduated from Hopkins School in 1868 and then from Yale in 1873. He was part of the school's first football team, and continued to play while he pursued graduate studies at Yale Divinity School. He studied at Berlin and at Leipzig. He was professor of Old Testament languages and literature at the Protestant Episcopal Divinity School in Philadelphia (1884–91) and professor of Hebrew at the University of Pennsylvania (1885–93). From 1888 to 1895, he conducted excavations at Nippur with John Henry Haynes and Hermann Volrath Hilprecht. His public criticisms of statements made by Hilprecht in speeches and published works regarding the providence of a number of artifacts presented as discoveries made in Nippur sparked what became known as the "Peters-Hilbrecht Controversy." He became rector of St. Michael's Episcopal Church (Manhattan) in 1893 and served in that role until he retired in 1919. From 1904 to 1910, John Punnett Peters was also canon residentiary of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. He was active in promoting an intellectual approach to religion, social service, and positive relations between labor and management. Peters was an outspoken opponent of municipal corruption and was active in the Excise Reform Association's West Side branch in Manhattan. As chairman of the Committee of Fourteen in New York City from the time of its founding in 1905 to 1910, and again from 1912 to 1916, Peters worked to close down or otherwise manage Raines law hotels while advocating numerous reforms to law enforcement institutions and practices. Combined with his father and grandfather, the Peters served as rectors of St. Michael's for 99 years.
Architect Frazier Forman Peters was his son. Another son, also named John Punnett Peters (December 4, 1887 – December 29, 1955), initially described the cerebral salt-wasting syndrome.
John Punnett Peters died from a heart attack in New York on November 10, 1921.

# John Moyle (surgeon)

John Moyle (died February 1713–14) was a British naval surgeon.

## Biography

Moyle after serving many years at sea in merchant ships and ships of war, and having been "in most of the sea fights that we have had with any nation in my time", was superannuated about 1690 on a pension of apparently £40 a year, and applied himself in his old age to writing his surgical experiences for the benefit of younger sea-surgeons. What he wrote was not, he said, collected out of other authors, but was his own practice, the product of real experience. He nowhere mentions any officer with whom he had served, any ship or any particular battle which he had been in, though he refers some of his experiences to "the last Holland war", to "one of the last fights we had with the Hollanders"—that is to the Third Anglo-Dutch War; or to "before Tripoli in Barbary, when we had wars with that place"—possibly referring to the raid on Tripoli of 24 January 1676, or events of the following Anglo-Algerian War. Similarly he speaks of having been at Newfoundland, and at many places in the Mediterranean; Alexandria, Scanderoon, Smyrna, and Constantinople are incidentally mentioned.
He describes himself in 1693 as "being grown in years and not capable to hold it longer in that employ", as surgeon at sea. He seems to have lived for his remaining years in Westminster, where he died in February 1713–14. His published works are:
* "Abstractum Chirurgiæ Marinæ, or An Abstract of Sea Surgery" (12mo, 1686).
* "Chirurgus Marinus, or The Sea Chirurgion" (12mo, 1693).
* "The Experienced Chirurgion" (12mo, 1703).
* "Chirurgic Memoirs" (12mo, 1708). This last has a portrait in full flowing wig.
He left a widow, Mary, and three children, a son, John, and two daughters, Mary Nozet, and Susanna Willon, apparently by a former marriage. To these he bequeathed one shilling each, "to debar them from claiming any interest in or title to any part of my real or personal estate". To a grandson, James Willon, "now beyond the seas", he left £10 subject to the condition of his demanding it in person within seven years. The rest of the property was left to the widow, "sole and only executrix" (will in Somerset House, Aston, 32, dated 1 March 1702–3, proved 17 Feb. 1713–14). One of the witnesses to the will is Edward Ives, who may probably have been the father of Edward Ives, the naval surgeon and traveller.
