SAVILLS CIRENCESTER 1 Castle Street, Market Place, Cirencester, Gloucestershire, GL7 1QD 01285 627550 [email protected] Your attention is drawn to the Important Notice on the last page of the text SITUATION Compton Abdale is a tranquil and unspoilt village, located on the old ‘salt way’, which ran across the Cotswolds; traditionally the salt was used for curing meat to store in the winter. The village is a conservation area and within an official area of outstanding natural beauty. Enjoying glorious views across the surrounding countryside, there are many footpaths and bridleways throughout the area. The parish church, St Oswald’s, dates back to the 13th century and features unusual gargoyles. The focal point in the centre of the village is a spring-fed brook which emerges from a “crocodile” head constructed from stone by a local mason in the mid-19th century. This pretty brook flows through the village before eventually joining the River Coln. Northleach is the nearest centre and is an attractive market town, which offers excellent day to day facilities including a highly regarded pub, The Wheatsheaf Inn. There is an active community within the town and arranged around the market place are a number of shops including a wine bar, a post office, a butcher, a chemist and a bakery. The town also benefits from a doctor’s surgery, a junior school and nursery, and a magnificent perpendicular style wool church known by some as The cathedral of the Cotswolds. Cheltenham is about 11 miles to the west and offers a wide range of shops, along with theatres and a cinema. The town hosts many popular events including an annual cricket festival, horse racing including the Gold Cup, and music, food and literary festivals. The historic Roman town of Cirencester, often referred to as the Capital of the Cotswolds, can be reached via the nearby Fosse Way (A429), which also provides direct access to Stow-on- the-Wold and the Midlands. The A40 links Cheltenham and Oxford and provides access to the M40 at Junction 8 for London, the M25 and the national motorway network. There are also regular train services to London Paddington from Kemble, Kingham and Charlbury. Private schools in the area include Hatherop Castle, Rendcomb College, Beaudesert Park as well as the many schools and colleges in Cheltenham and Oxford. DIRECTIONS (GL54 4DR) From Cirencester, take the A429 Fosse Way north towards Stow-on-the-Wold. Continue for approximately 10 miles and, upon reaching the A40 roundabout, turn left and carry on along the A40 Westbound for around 2.4 miles. Bear left at the sign for Compton Abdale the right after 0.3 miles. On entering the centre of the village, follow the signpost in the direction of Hazelton/Salperton and 300m up this road on the right, turn into the drive of the property. This is not the quickest route from Cirencester but the easiest on a first visit.

    STRATEGY, MISSION AND PEOPLE IN A RURAL DIOCESE A CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF THE DIOCESE OF GLOUCESTER 1863-1923 BRIAN KNIGHT A thesis submitted to the University of Gloucestershire in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities August, 2002 11 Strategy, Mission and People in a Rural Diocese A critical examination of the Diocese of Gloucester 1863-1923 Abstract A study of the relationship between the people of Gloucestershire and the Church of England diocese of Gloucester under two bishops, Charles John Ellicott and Edgar Charles Sumner Gibson who presided over a mainly rural diocese, predominantly of small parishes with populations under 2,000. Drawing largely on reports and statistics from individual parishes, the study recalls an era in which the class structure was a dominant factor. The framework of the diocese, with its small villages, many of them presided over by a squire, helped to perpetuate a quasi-feudal system which made sharp distinctions between leaders and led. It is shown how for most of this period Church leaders deliberately chose to ally themselves with the power and influence of the wealthy and cultured levels of society and ostensibly to further their interests. The consequence was that they failed to understand and alienated a large proportion of the lower orders, who were effectively excluded from any involvement in the Church's affairs. Both bishops over-estimated the influence of the Church on the general population but with the twentieth century came the realisation that the working man and women of all classes had qualities which could be adapted to the Church's service and a wider lay involvement was strongly encouraged.

  • Feasibility Study Into the Future Use and Management of Broadway Quarry
    Feasibility Study into the future use and management of Broadway Quarry In partnership with: Summary This feasibility study has been supported with funding from Natural England through DEFRA‟s Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund (ALSF). It has been managed by the Herefordshire and Worcestershire Earth Heritage Trust, in collaboration with the Steering Group, as well as additional parties that have become engaged in the process. The co-operation and support from the landowners should also be acknowledged, as without them, this study would not have been possible. The aim of the study has been to identify, in consultation with a wide number of stakeholders, the issues and options regarding the post-restoration management and use of Broadway Quarry. The study has sought to identify a clear framework to guide future development and management in a sustainable way to the advantage and needs of the landowners, nature conservation, industry and the local community. This report covers all the issues identified during the course of the study. These include the landowner interests, geological and wildlife interest, industrial heritage, managed access, local community needs and ensuring that the benefits of the Quarry Restoration are secured on a permanent basis past the Quarry Operator‟s 5 year duty of after-care. The study also aimed to provide generic guidance and advice on the restoration of aggregate sites with a potential high nature conservation value and educational interest. This included looking at provisions for long term management of restored sites and their access arrangements. Contents Page 1.
