The resultant moated castle represents an extra- ordinary and enduring piece of Staffordshire’s heritage. Over the years the castle has been occupied by numerous dignitaries and Staffordshire denizens including several High Sheriffs, the MP and first Mayor of Stafford Matthew Cradock, William Holles Vane (2nd Viscount Vane), and the Wedgwood family. It has also been home to three convent orders, most recently from 1965-1978 after which it passed back in to private ownership. In acknowledgment of its medieval origins and historical significance, Caverswall Castle is designated on the National Heritage List for England (NHLE) as a Grade-I listed building(1). As shown in Table 1, Caverswall is one of only a small minority of NHLE entries that meet the Grade-I selection criteria: Table 1: The Designation of Listed Buildings by Grade in England and Staffordshire(1).

For the purposes of the study detailed information has not been collated for the major settlements of Stafford and Stone because of their size and dominance in comparison to the other settlements within the Stafford Borough area. 1.3 The majority of the survey work for the Settlement Assessment was carried out during the Spring and Summer 2007 by officers from the Forward Planning section of Stafford Borough Council. During the site visits local services, their location and opening times were recorded in order to confirm previous desktop based research regarding local services and facilities. This technical work is now available for consideration by the local community and key stakeholders in order to ensure the information collected is accurate.

Barlaston Neighbourhood Plan
BARLASTON NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN Barlaston Neighbourhood Plan Introduction In 2009 the Parish Council undertook to produce a Village Plan and to focus on a number of local issues, this Village Plan is now referred to as the Neighbourhood Plan following the passing of the Localism Act in 2011. A small working group designed a questionnaire that was agreed by the Parish Council in 2010. The Questionnaire was sent out to all households in the Parish and the findings as an executive summary can be found in Appendix 1. A number of specific issues emerged following analysis by the Council. It had been a number of years since the residents were involved in a Village Appraisal in 2002.* Appendix 2 : Here each question is analysed graphically. The executive summary resulted from a careful analysis of the questionnaire returns and led to determining recent policy and action policy particularly in relation to matters relating to the environment, transport and traffic, planning issues and housing and local services. Although the response of 30% returned questionnaires was lower than hoped for it was agreed to look at the major issues raised that residents raised as concerns. It has been agreed to use this information and issues raised as a basis for a second questionnaire to be sent to all households in the Spring of 2014. So…..Progress since 2011. During 2012 & 2013 the Council tried to resolve a number of the issues raised by the residents’ three key areas were identified: *Barlaston Village appraisal by Keele University 2002 BARLASTON NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN • Environmental Issues • Transport and Traffic • Planning concerns An Environmental working group tackled several problems that led to additional voluntary litter picking especially along the canal towpath.

Conservation Bulletin Index
1 CONSERVATION BULLETIN INDEX Index to Conservation Bulletin Issues 1–56 and Supplements (1987 to 2007) by Cherry Lavell and Ann Hudson Issue numbers are given in bold , so that 18 :16–17, 22 indicates pages 16–17 and 22 of issue 18; a reference such as 22 :suppl (with page numbers where they exist) indicates a supplement stapled into, or in one case separate from, the issue noted. STRS 1 , 2 and 3 are the three issues of the Scientific and Technical Review supplement. Figures or tables are denoted by ‘Fig’ or ‘Tab’ following the relevant page number; there may also be textual reference at that point. The filing order is word-by- word. All issues are available electronically from the English Heritage website (http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/server/show/nav.11241); however, issues 1–40 have been scanned from the hard-copy originals and page numbers may not correspond to those in the index. Indexing is not exhaustive, i.e. passing mentions are not normally indexed. Subject entries have been made only for topics that form the main subject of an article or of a substantial section. Aspects of English Heritage policy are to be sought under specific entries, e.g. ‘buildings at risk’. The Corporate Plan supplements in issues 9, 12 and 15 have not been indexed in detail. Book reviews are indexed under title, author, and name of reviewer, and longer reviews also under subject. Notices of books published have title and author entries only, and brief listings have only title entries. It did not appear worth while to break down long ‘strings’ of page references for certain prolific authors, for whom it is quicker to search by the topic written about.
