  • Brian Knight
    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.

  • 7.11 Mid Cotswold Principal Settlements
    COTSWOLD DISTRICT LOCAL PLAN 2011-2031 71 Delivering the Strategy 7 7.11 Mid Cotswold - Principal Settlements (POLICY SA2) 7.11.1 The Mid-Cotswolds sub-area comprises: Andoversford Bourton-on-the-Water Northleach Stow-on-the-Wold Upper Rissington 7.11.2 Together these settlements provide day-to-day infrastructure, services and facilities for local residents and those living in the wider rural areas. Policy SA2 STRATEGIC DELIVERY - MID-COTSWOLDS SUB-AREA Within the context of Policy INF1, the strategic infrastructure requirements for the Mid-Cotswolds Sub-Area are: Highways Improvement of Unicorn junction (A436/B4068), Stow-on-the-Wold 7.12 Andoversford (POLICY S10) 7.12.1 Although Andoversford is not a large settlement, it has an above-average level of services and facilities for a village of its size. Importantly, it also has a well established industrial estate and good employment base. 7.12.2 Self-containment is low. This could be explained by the relatively close proximity of the village to Cheltenham. Also, bus services to neighbouring Cheltenham have improved and are convenient for commuting to work during normal hours. 7.12.3 Andoversford’s role as a local service and employment centre should be enhanced to help enable it to service a number of villages within a few miles’ radius, and reduce reliance on car travel to Cheltenham/ Charlton Kings to the west. Development will also help to enhance Andoversford’s potential role as a local service centre in an otherwise poorly-served part of the District. Additional house building will also address the relatively modest need for affordable housing in the Andoversford area.

  • Benefice Profile
    The Benefice of Bourton on the Water with Clapton & the Rissingtons Benefice Profile Our Benefice The benefice of Bourton on the Water with Clapton & the Rissingtons is part of the North Cotswolds Deanery of the Diocese of Gloucester. The Benefice (which is now 14 years old) consists of 6 village communities, within which are 5 traditional Cotswold churches and a local ecumenical church plant (CUR:ve). Our benefice is ministered to by a full-time Rector, based in Bourton-on-the-Water, and a House for Duty Associate Minister, with special responsibility for the Rissingtons, based in Upper Rissington. There is a Reader, as well as lots of enthusiastic and capable lay involvement. The North Cotswolds Deanery is also home to a vibrant and supportive clergy chapter. Each of our villages has its own sense of community and identity, although we share the aim of making the Gospel of Jesus Christ relevant and accessible to all those who live, work and visit here. We know we live in a beautiful part of the country and readily share it with those who travel to us from all over the world; maybe you have visited! Bourton is the focal point of the benefice with shops, pubs, restaurants, doctors, dentist & Leisure Centre. Both Bourton and Upper Rissington are currently experiencing expansion with much new housing. There are lots of local primary schools (with good and outstanding OFSTED reports) and the Cotswold School in Bourton (our Secondary Academy affiliated to the Diocese) also has an outstanding OFSTED report. Its catchment area is wide, drawing students from within and some miles beyond the benefice.

Matters arising: Update on Thames Water: Following the completion of the work to install new water mains, TS confirmed that 23 out of 25 items on our snagging list had been completed. 6. Maintenance of the Green and Pond Pond: (RM). Having successfully made the first treatment to eradicate the water primrose Jack Smith will be attending once a month under the new arrangement. We are paying him £75/month for 8 months and he has a list of tasks to complete – a job he does for other parishes. He is watching for a recurrence of the water primrose. If necessary, weed killer will be used and a large rake to move the larger reeds. The Environment Agency has contacted the Clerk to enquire about future progress and RM has asked Jack Smith to be in touch with them directly to keep them updated. A letter of complaint had been received from a resident regarding the recent strimming which it was thought had had a detrimental effect on the wild flowers before they had a chance to self seed.
