  Fosse Way - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fosse Way was a Roman road in England which linked Exeter (Isca Dumnoniorum) in South West England, to Lincoln (Lindum) in the East Midlands, via Bath (Aquae Sulis), Cirencester (Corinium) and Leicester (Ratae Coritanorum).
The Fosse Way is the only Roman road in Britain to retain its original Latin name, most others were named by the Saxons, centuries after the Romans left Britain.
Between Bath and Exeter, the Fosse Way's route is roughly followed by a number of modern roads, including the A367, A37 and A303.

Newark's position as one of the few bridges on the Trent in the area, its location along the Great North Road (the A1), and later with the advance of rail transport being at the junction between the East Coast Main Line, and the route from Nottingham to Lincoln has informed its growth and development.
In a document which purports to be a charter of 664 Newark is mentioned as having been granted to the abbey of Peterborough by Wulfhere.
In the reign of Edward the Confessor it belonged to Godiva and her husband Leofric, Earl of Mercia, who granted it to the monastery of Stow in 1055, who retained its incomes even after the Norman Conquest as came under the control of the Norman Bishop Remigious.

Fosse's distinctive choreography came from studying a variety of dance and theatrical sources.

 Fosse Coat of Arms
The name Fosse is of Anglo-Saxon origin and came from when the family lived in Doultin and Shepton Mallet on either side of Fosse Way.
The surname Fosse is a topographic surname, which was given to a person who resided near a physical feature such as a hill, stream, church, or type of tree.
For example, a person who only moved to another parish would be known by the name of their original village, while people who migrated to a different country were often known by the name of a region or country from which they came.

 ROMAN FRONTIERS IN BRITAIN   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
This is based upon the Fosse Way Roman road (Margary #5) which linked two legionary fortresses and probably delimits the territory gained during the tenure of Aulus Plautius, the first governor of Britain.
Indeed, the "Fosse Way frontier" itself, was to last only until the second governor of Britain, Ostorius Scapula arrived in 47, who immediately abandoned it to campaign against tribes in North Wales (Annales XII.xxxii).
The idea that the Fosse Way constituted a Roman "frontier" in any real sense has since been discredited, and it was not until the coming of Gnaeus Julius Agricola that Britain was endowed with the first planned frontier works.

In rehearsals, Fosse was a cruel taskmaster, insisting that the tiniest detail (for example, the crook of a finger) must be as precise as the high kick of a dancer's leg.
Fosse wanted shows as low as the Chicago strip joints that pointed him to a life (see his autobiographical movie, "All That Jazz"), but he wanted to do things nobody had ever seen before, too.

Professional recognition is obviously important to Fosse "You have to have a certain amount of success and a pretty good track record for them to give you the money to do something like Dancin' " but he no longer craves the public's recognition the way he did when he was hungrier.
While Fosse's ego is, in all likelihood, as large and as fragile as the egos of others in his business, a sense of irony keeps him from being mortally wounded by setbacks.

Much of the Fosse Way is now the A46 trunk road, but sections of it around here have reverted to no more than a lane, a farm track or even a simple path.

 Reva Rice has skated her way to 'Fosse' role   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
When her revival of Fosse's staging of the musical "Chicago" was here two years ago, Reinking was putting the finishing touches on "Fosse." It went on to win the 1999 Tony for best musical.
Rather than having the fluid look of ballet-influenced choreography, Fosse set distinct parts of the body moving in isolation: the back slouched, then erect, the shoulders rotating this way, the hands rotating that way, knees knocked and, most sensational of all, the pelvis undulating lethargically and then lurching into a savage grind.
In "Fosse," Rice is called upon to be not only a smoldering dancer but also a suggestive actress and a torchy singer.

At one point in the recent past so much traffic thundered through the town, situated close to the junction of the A.40 and Fosse Way, that buildings were being shaken to pieces and people were finding somewhere else to live.
The town has now been bypassed so effectively that all you see of Northleach as you fly down a steep hill on the Fosse Way is a glimpse of a sign saying "Northleach - Historic Wool Town", and by the time the thought has registered you are passing the turn-off to Bourton.
