Thankfully our publication has begun to be more settled although we are aware that we still make mistakes. It has been pointed out to us that we have stated, in the past, that we want one off articles of only 300 words but have continued to print articles which are much longer. We have discussed this at our recent committee meeting and have decided 300 words is too prescriptive and would reduce the interest value of many of the articles. However the editors may tactfully ask you to reduce your offering if it is too wordy. This includes the editorial! Most of us are aware of the amount and nature of traffic on our roads. Although I have my own views on this subject, it is not for me to exercise them in the Newsletter but ask you to let us know your views. You will all have differing opinions depending on whether you use the roads as a farmer, horse rider, commuter, shopper, cyclist, pedestrian, or parish councillor. I would like you to let us know how you feel, including any practical solutions, which might be used to solve the problems, as you see them. We will collate them and print some representative views in the Newsletter anonymously. Please sock it to us using [email protected] Don't forget that all articles, ads and entries must be with the editors by the 13�� of every month. It takes about a week to put everything together and another week to print. This leaves very little time to get it to you before the end of the month. We apologise that we did not get it to you before the beginning of January. If you receive your Newsletter more than one week after the beginning of each month or you know of people who do not receive one at all, please let us know. We cannot change things unless you tell us.

You may have noticed/heard that I have recently been unwell - unwell enough in fact to justify some days in the Great Western Hospital in Swindon just after Christmas.

    Bremhill Parish Neighbourhood Plan Strategic Environmental Assessment FINAL DRAFT - June 2016 PLANNING THE FUTURE OF THE PARISH 2016 - 2030 Wiltshire Council Strategic Environmental Assessment - Screening determination for the Bremhill Neighbourhood Plan December 2015 Contents 1. Introduction 2. Legislative requirements 3. The Bremhill Neighbourhood Plan 4. SEA Screening assessment 5. SEA Screening decision 2 1. Introduction 1.1. This document provides a screening determination of the need to carry out a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) of the Bremhill Neighbourhood Plan. 1.2. Wiltshire Council, as the ‘Responsible Authority’1 under the SEA Regulations2, is responsible for undertaking this screening process of the Bremhill Neighbourhood Plan. It will determine if the plan is likely to have significant environmental effects, and hence whether SEA is required. 1.3. This process has been carried out in accordance with the requirements of European Directive 2001/42/EC3, often known as the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Directive, which has been transposed into English law by the SEA Regulations. 2. Legislative requirements 2.1. The Localism Act 2011 requires neighbourhood plans to comply with EU legislation. The screening procedure outlined in this report meets the requirements of the SEA Directive and Regulations, as introduced in Section 1 of this document. 2.2. Regulation 5 of the SEA Regulations requires an environmental assessment of plans which: 1. Are prepared for agriculture, forestry, fisheries, energy, industry, transport, waste management, water management, telecommunications, tourism, town and country planning or land use (Regulation 5, para. (2)(a), and which set the framework for future development consent of projects listed in Annex I or II to Council Directive 85/337/EEC (EIA Directive) on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment (Regulation 5, para.

  • Bremhill Draft (April 2021).Pdf
    [Draft text by Dr Louise Ryland-Epton, completed April 2021 apart from the first section and minor checking to be undertaken when restrictions are lifted] BREMHILL LANDSCAPE, SETTLEMENT AND BUILDINGS [not yet completed] LANDOWNERSHIP Before the Reformation the manors of Bremhill, Foxham and Spirthill were in possession of the monks of Malmesbury abbey. The adjacent manor of Stanley belonged to the Cistercian order of Stanley abbey. At the dissolution of the monasteries, these estates were acquired by Sir Edward Bayntun. From the 16th to the 20th century, they were primarily held by non- resident lords. In the 20th century, these estates were sold off as separate farms and small holdings. Bremhill Manor King Athelstan gifted an estate at Bremhill to Malmesbury abbey c.935.1 However, the authenticity of the charter has been questioned.2 A confirmation of the abbey’s land and privileges by Edward in 1065 is also disputed.3 In 1086 the manor of Bremhill was held by the monks of Malmesbury abbey. It paid geld for 38 hides.4 The estate was surrendered to the crown in 1539 and acquired by Sir Edward Bayntun of Bromham (will pr. 1545), vice- chamberlain to five wives of Henry VIII, the following year.5 Sir Edward Bayntun was succeeded by his son, Andrew (d.1564).6 Andrew briefly lost control of his estates, after which financial difficulties led him to entail them to his brother, Edward (d.1593). However, the financial mismanagement continued, and on Andrew’s death in 1564, his brother was involved in a court action to secure the inheritance.

  • The Montagus and the Great West Doors of Bath Abbey” Online
    The Manor of Lackham Vol 3 : The Montagu family The Manor of Lackham – Volume 3 The Montagus of Lackham and their historical connections by Tony Pratt and Karen Repko Last update : March 23, 2019 Wiltshire College Lackham 2010 1 The Manor of Lackham Vol 3 : The Montagu family This investigation of the history of the manor of Lackham, close to Chippenham and next to Lacock in Wiltshire, started with the current author’s “The Bluets ; a baronial family and their historical connections 1066- 1400 1” and was continued in “The Baynards : a county family and their historical connections 1360 – 1650 2.” This work takes the story through the period of the Civil War and the Enlightenment to Canal Mania and on into the early part of the nineteenth century. For biographies of the authors see the Introduction to Vol. 1 “The Bluets”. Both of the previous volumes in this history, and others, are held by Wiltshire Libraries, the Wiltshire & Swindon History Centre in Chippenham and online at http://www.lackham.co.uk/history/documents.asp As always we owe enormous debts of gratitude to the people who helped by their willingness to give freely of their time, expertise and knowledge, and without whom this volume would not have been possible. Individual credits and thanks are given in the footnotes. Not credited specifically are the archivists and staff at all the record offices and libraries consulted and who were unfailingly helpful above and beyond that which might be expected. We are very lucky to have such dedicated and knowledgeable people around and we would express our very sincere gratitude to everyone who helped.

    Appendix Aii – Representations received on chapter 5 (community area strategies) (TPL14 – TPL59) with officer comments June 2014 Consultee Agent Is the Change Miss Katherine Dawson legally Comment 423 Gleeson Developments Limited Terence O'Rourke Limited compliant? ID: Is the Change No Person ID: 840669 Person ID: 840663 sound? Positively prepared Justified Identified proposed Reasons for TPL14 change unsound Effective Consistent with national policy This amendment to the plan, referencing again indicative requirements, is not positive and is ineffective. It introduces uncertainty about the scale of development to be planned in each of the Community Areas, and, to that extent, fails to meet the guidance in the NPPG (ID 12-002-20140306). Instead of providing flexibility it provides uncertainty and therefore fails to ensure the delivery of sufficient housing supply to meet the objective assessment of need. It is inconsistent with national policy. The justification given is that: Please give details of "The indicative figures also allow a flexible approach which will allow the Council including through the preparation of the Site why you support or Allocations DPD and local communities preparing neighbourhood plans to respond positively to opportunities without being inhibited by do not support the an overly prescriptive, rigid approach which might otherwise prevent sustainable development proposals that can contribute to consultation material. maintaining a deliverable five year housing land supply and delivering the strategic objectives of the plan." (para 4.28) However, the ability to achieve a positive approach and the potential to prevent sustainable development is un-evidenced. Conversely, using minimum targets provides a positive approach, where communities have a clear steer on what they must provide and the ability to introduce additional sustainable sites above the minimum requirement.

  • The Quakers in East Tytherton
    The Quakers in East Tytherton by Nigel Pocock with Andrew Laurence & Terry Benton QuakersOPC 1. Who were the 'Quakers'? The Quakers, properly known as the 'Society of Friends', were founded in the 1640s by George Fox (1624- 1690-1). Fox was from the skilled artisan class, the son of a weaver. He grew up in Leicestershire during the turbulent years of Charles I and the English Republic. Having received a call from God to preach, he travelled all over the country, including Scotland, suffering many persecutions and imprisonments. It may well be that his ministry was a reaction to the poor spiritual state of the established church, for he pointed out many injustices that the church and its 'steeple-houses' were perpetuating through simply going along with them, such as the abuses of power invested in established hierarchies. In his Journals, Fox writes [1649] … when the Lord sent me forth into the world, He forbade me to put off my hat to any, high or low; and I was required to Thee and Thou all men and women, without any respect to rich and poor, great or small … neither might I bow or scrape with my leg to any one …1 This might seem a little strange to us today, but in George Fox's time a whole elaborate ritual had developed as regards how to bow in different sets of circumstances. The curtsey or 'sink', equally for women. The 'scrape' referred to the movement of a foot during the whole ritual, which, as Liza Picard observed, might well require the attentions of a dancing master.
