  • John Corbett Way (6¾ - 7¼ Miles Linear Walk)
    Walk H - John Corbett Way (6¾ - 7¼ miles linear walk) Probably more than anyone else, the "Salt King" changed the character and landscape of both Stoke and Droitwich. The John Corbett Way starts at Avoncroft Arts Centre (close to his matrimonial home at Stoke Grange), goes past Stoke Prior Church where he is buried, through Stoke Works where his fortune was made, on to Wychbold with its Almshouses, then alongside his magnificent Chateau Impney and finally into Droitwich. Most of the farmland was owned by him. Whilst the walk can be done in the day, breaking it into sections makes it easier to describe. Keep a lookout along the Way for the signs of the Raven, his trademark. Parking is available at the start of the walk and in Shaw Lane (points 5, 6 & 8). The Navigation, Ewe & Lamb and The Crown will probably allow walkers to park but please check. Parking at the end of the walk in the public car park outside Waitrose (point 16). Note: large parties must make prior arrangements with Avoncroft Arts Centre if using their car park (tel. 01527 833829, e-mail: [email protected] ). SECTION 1 Stoke Heath / Avoncroft Arts Centre - Stoke Works Easy no stiles. Reasonable footwear. About 2 miles. 1. Avoncroft Arts Centre. From the Avoncroft Arts Centre car park, return down the driveway to the A38 and turn left almost on yourself through the gate onto the enclosed path. Cross the driveway leading to Stoke Grange (Corbett's matrimonial home, now occupied by Bromsgrove School). Previously, it had many interesting associations as Avoncroft with the Cadbury family, adult education and farming improvements.

  • 14. East Wychavon
    Environmental Character Area Profile for the Minerals Local Plan: 14. East Wychavon 1. Introduction 1.1. Minerals development usually takes place on previously undeveloped land and can therefore result in permanent change to the natural environment and green spaces in Worcestershire. The impacts of both the working and the restoration of mineral sites need to be considered in detail in the development of the Worcestershire Minerals Local Plan (the MLP). 1.2. The Council will take a 'green infrastructure' (GI) approach to considering these impacts. The GI approach is a different way of thinking about the green spaces in Worcestershire. It moves beyond solely considering the environmental benefits of green spaces and integrates the consideration of economic, health and social benefits in the planning and management of green spaces. Rather than considering each green space in isolation it looks at the ways in which individual sites and corridors of green space collectively form the distinctive character of Worcestershire that attracts both visitors and business to the County. 1.3. The components of GI include biodiversity, landscape, historic environment, access and recreation and water (also know as blue infrastructure). The GI approach requires thinking about the environment as an integrated system of stepping stones or nodes in a wider network1. Green infrastructure and mineral workings and restoration 1.4. There is significant potential for mineral workings to destroy existing networks of green infrastructure if the nature and character of these networks is not taken into account. However there is also significant potential to contribute positively to green infrastructure through the restoration of mineral workings.

  • Charles Paget Wade
    Charles Paget Wade This is Charles Paget Wade, a gentleman I came across whilst on holiday in the Cotswolds in 2014 near the picturesque village of Snowshill in Gloucestershire, which is noted for its extensive lavender fields and for its Manor which is where Charles Wade spent much of his life. Its name may be familiar to National Trust members. So what did he do and why is he of local interest? Well first let’s have a look at his family tree: Wade Family Tree As a teenager, Wade’s paternal grandfather, Solomon Abraham Wade (1806-1881), moved with his family from St Martin, an island in the north east of the West Indies archipelago to St. Kitts, about 50 miles to the south. Solomon set himself up as a merchant and by the early1860s had built a thriving business with four stores on St Kitts. Initially it was as S. A. Wade & Co and then, with a trusted employee, Samuel Abbott, he formed the partnership of Wade & Abbott. Through his business as a supplier and increasingly as an agent for the island ‘plantocracy’, Solomon gained knowledge and profits he used independent of Wade and Abbott to diversify and acquire property (including sugar cane plantations) in St Kitts and in nearby Nevis and Montserrat. His success established the fortune of the family into which Charles Wade was later born. Between 1844 and 1855 Solomon had seven children with Mary James (1817-1914), his housekeeper, who was of Afro-Caribbean descent, finally marrying in 1855. I do not have full details of the family and their birth dates but the names shown here are correct.

  • Inscriptions in the Abbey Church
    The Monumental Inscriptions in the Abbey Church The earliest document to record any of the monumental inscriptions in Tewkesbury Abbey is “History in Marble” by Thomas Dingley, compiled during the reign of Charles II (1660 – 1685). This volume is in manuscript, and was published in facsimile in two volumes by the Campden Society in 1868. Tewkesbury is to be found in Volume Two. In 1750 Ralph Bigland commenced his monumental work “Historical, Monumental and Genealogical Collections relative to the County of Gloucestershire”. This recorded the monumental inscriptions in most of the parish churches in Gloucestershire, but by the time of Bigland’s death in 1784, none of his work had been published. His son and two colleagues continued his work, and it was published in instalments between 1791 and 1899. They visited Tewkesbury during Scott’s work of restoration (1875 – 1879), but were unable to check the inscriptions on the stones in the floor of the nave as it was “entirely covered with Matting and Chairs”. They make the comment that “In the course of this Work [of restoration] much of the flagging has been removed in the Choir, Transepts and Chancel, and thus the means of verifying Bigland’s account of the flat stone Inscriptions taken away”. They also refer to a Notice for a Faculty regarding the removal and re-erection of monuments, and the placing of upright head stones flat on the ground. This citation, which is in the Gloucestershire Archives, is dated 30 th April 1878, and was affixed to the door of the church on 5 th May 1878.
