  • Stroud Labour Party
    Gloucestershire County Council single member ward review Response from Stroud Constituency Labour Party Introduction On 30 November the Local Government Boundary Commission started its second period of consultation for a pattern of divisions for Gloucestershire. Between 30 November and 21 February the Commission is inviting comments on the division boundaries for GCC. Following the completion of its initial consultation, the Commission has proposed that the number of county councillors should be reduced from 63 to 53. The districts have provided the estimated numbers for the electorate in their areas in 2016; the total number for the county is 490,674 so that the average electorate per councillor would be 9258 (cf. 7431 in 2010). The main purpose of this note is to draw attention to the constraints imposed on proposals for a new pattern of divisions in Stroud district, which could lead to anomalies, particularly in ‘bolting together’ dissimilar district wards and parishes in order to meet purely numerical constraints. In it own words ‘the Commission aims to recommend a pattern of divisions that achieves good electoral equality, reflects community identities and interests and provides for effective and convenient local government. It will also seek to use strong, easily-identifiable boundaries. ‘Proposals should demonstrate how any pattern of divisions aids the provision of effective and convenient local government and why any deterioration in equality of representation or community identity should be accepted. Representations that are supported by evidence and argument will carry more weight with the Commission than those which merely assert a point of view.’ While a new pattern of ten county council divisions is suggested in this note, it is not regarded as definitive but does contain ways of avoiding some possible major anomalies.

Essentially as built. 2 The East range of the Mansion, showing the chapel, from a twentieth century postcard. All visitors to Woodchester Park and the Mansion realise that the focal point of the house is the chapel. In William Leigh’s time the main entrance to the Park was at the eastern end of the valley in South Woodchester. If the house had been completed visitors would have trundled up the long drive in their carriages and would then have been confronted by the chapel’s beautiful eastern elevation. The eyes of those entering the house would be drawn down the length of the vaulted great corridor towards its entrance. Today the lovely chapel is still incomplete, and to modern (and especially non-Catholic) audiences the question arises; how was it going to be used? Between 1846 and 1849, well before he started work on the Mansion, William Leigh had erected the Church of Our Lady of the Annunciation at South Woodchester.

    7 HE C OTSWOLD MANOR HOUSE and its setting assumed iconic status in the late nineteenth and early T twentieth centuries. At its most potent, it became a symbol of Edwardian nationalism, of the enduring values of ‘Old’ English civilisation itself, and of the unquestioned legiti- macy of a benevolent gentry class whose values were rooted in the land. This ideal was fostered from the start by Country Life, which was founded in 1897, and the magazine occupies a central place as a pioneer interpreter and forceful advocate of the Cotswold house and its landscape. Country Life Inspired by the dominant critique of William Morris, who urged the revival of vernacular styles, Country Life did much to discover and popularise the Cotswolds and to raise its fine houses to cult status. The first issues of the magazine featured tectural record. early manor houses, such as Chavenage, Chastleton, Stanway, Owlpen, Burford Priory, Cold Ashton Manor, and Daneway, Cotswold landscape some of them houses little known at that time, which The Cotswolds have never been a political or administrative reflected the emphasis of Edwardian taste on the Arcadian territory. They are geophysical: a chain of limestone hills setting, the authentic surface, and the unrestored slanting obliquely from north east to south west, on average ‘Tudorbethan’ interior.

Today it is generally accepted that as Norman Shaw, Philip Webb and later Sir Edwin Lutyens, the Cotswolds extend fifty odd miles from the mound of the appeal broadened to include the Georgian vernacular of Meon Hill by Chipping Campden, in the north, to Lansdown houses such as Nether Lypiatt and Lyegrove.

    Visit to Owlpen Manor Wednesday 15th September 2021 Join us for a summer outing to Owlpen, a Tudor Manor House of the Mander family, situated in a deep, secluded valley in the Stroud district of Gloucestershire. The Manor is surrounded by breath-taking terraced gardens. Owlpen has been described as ‘a remote and beautiful place from a bygone age’ and we are very fortunate to have the opportunity of this private visit for the Friends. Since the 1970’s, Owlpen has been owned by Sir Nicholas and Lady Mander and our tour will be undertaken by a member of the family, possibly by Sir Nicholas himself. Owlpen was sympathetically restored, in 1926, by the outstanding Cotswold Arts and Crafts architect, Norman Jewson. Hence, the house also boasts a famous collection of Arts and Crafts furniture and fittings, together with the Mander family portraits and collections. Practical details: Independent travel – approx. 50 minutes by car from Bath. Please advise if you can offer car spaces, or would need a lift. Arrive 10.45am for coffee/tea in the Cyder House Restaurant. 11.30am tour of House and Garden, followed by lunch (included in ticket price) and free time to further explore the gardens and visit the Church of the Holy Cross. Flexible leaving time around 3.00pm. Nearer the time we will contact Friends who book with travel details/directions and will also ask for menu choices for lunch. —————————————————————————————————————— Application Form Owlpen Visit Tickets are £40.00 for Friends and £45.00 for Guests, and include coffee, tour, lunch.
