We hope that this fully illustrated volume from the Uppingham Local History Study Group will be of great interest to Rutland residents and historians alike and will open up to a wider audience the life of this small market town during one of the most challenging periods of the twentieth century. The aim of our new series is to provide an insight into the life of the town in the twentieth century. Unlike our previous publications, which relied solely on written records, this volume is supported by recollections of local residents. Our interviews with them have either been transcribed or recorded onto cassette tape, and are stored in a filing cabinet belonging to Uppingham Local History Study Group and kept in Uppingham Library. We offer Uppingham at War, the first part of the series, in the sixtieth anniversary year of the end of the Second World War. We have by no means sought to give an exhaustive account of all elements of wartime Uppingham in the present publication. The topics chosen for study were those which appealed most to the group as well as to individual researchers, and which were felt to be of interest to a broad cross-section of the local community. Chapter 1 therefore gives us an overview of how Uppingham responded to the war over the six-year period. Chapters 2-5, whilst principally based on schools in Uppingham, shed light on wider issues of life in wartime. Changes in the life and work of the Church in Uppingham are the focus of Chapter 6. The final chapter stands alone; though not connected to the war in Uppingham itself, it is included here to give a fascinating glimpse of one current Uppingham resident' s experience of the Second World War.

Our focus is on young people classed as being under the age of 35 with a local connection (residence, family or employment) to the Rutland parishes of Preston, Wing, Glaston, Bisbrooke, Seaton, Lyddington, Thorpe By Water, Caldecott, Stoke Dry, Belton, Wardley, Ridlington, Ayston and Uppingham. This policy supports UHCLT obligations relating to sales allocations in accordance with the Homes England Capital Funding Guide. 2. Aims • To establish a sales process that is non-discriminatory and responsive to demand, while contributing to the need to be inclusive and ensure sustainable communities. • To establish an efficient, transparent, fair and effectively controlled basis for the acceptance and processing of applications for low cost home ownership. • To provide a system of prioritising applicants ensuring that homes are allocated to people in housing need and to those whom shared ownership is an appropriate solution. • To ensure UHCLT meets its social objectives whilst recognising the financial importance of selling properties promptly.

  • BRONZE AGE SETTLEMENT at RIDLINGTON, RUTLAND Matthew Beamish
    01 Ridlington - Beamish 30/9/05 3:19 pm Page 1 BRONZE AGE SETTLEMENT AT RIDLINGTON, RUTLAND Matthew Beamish with contributions from Lynden Cooper, Alan Hogg, Patrick Marsden, and Angela Monckton A post-ring roundhouse and adjacent structure were recorded by University of Leicester Archaeological Services, during archaeological recording preceding laying of the Wing to Whatborough Hill trunk main in 1996 by Anglian Water plc. The form of the roundhouse together with the radiocarbon dating of charred grains and finds of pottery and flint indicate that the remains stemmed from occupation toward the end of the second millennium B.C. The distribution of charred cereal remains within the postholes indicates that grain including barley was processed and stored on site. A pit containing a small quantity of Beaker style pottery was also recorded to the east, whilst a palaeolith was recovered from the infill of a cryogenic fissure. The remains were discovered on the northern edge of a flat plateau of Northamptonshire Sand Ironstone at between 176 and 177m ODSK832023). The plateau forms a widening of a west–east ridge, a natural route way, above northern slopes down into the Chater Valley, and abrupt escarpments above the parishes of Ayston and Belton to the south (illus. 2). Near to the site, springs issue from just below the 160m and 130m contours to the north and south east respectively and ponds exist to the east corresponding with a boulder clay cap. The area was targeted for investigation as it lay on the northern fringe of a substantial Mesolithic/Early Neolithic flint scatter (LE5661, 5662, 5663) (illus.

    LIST OF SCHEDULED MONUMENTS IN LEICESTERSHIRE AND RUTLAND (to 31 March 1956) This list has been compiled with the co-operation of the Ancient Monuments Division of the Ministry of Works. A Monument under Guardianship is one for the conservation of which the Ministry accepts responsibility. A Scheduled Monument is protected in that no alterations of any kind may be made to it (including ploughing and excavation) without three months' notice being given to the Ministry. It is then open to the Ministry to take steps to secure the permanent preservation of the monument, or alternatively to allow its destruction after suitable excavation or recording has been carried out. It is emphasised that scheduling implies no right of access to the general public, and permission should always be sought before entering any property. The Hon. Secretary of the Leicestershire Arch::eological and Historical Society will be grateful for suggestions regarding suitable additions to this list. The Act excludes churches and chapels in regular use and houses in occupation. In the list below, all monuments (other than those in Leicester itself) =1r.e referred to by the civil parishes in which they are located, the name of the c1V1l parish being given in italics: e.g., Lockingion-Hemington.

  • Barrowden School Was Built in 1862 by the Marquess of Exeter
    Barrowden School was built in 1862 by the Marquess of Exeter. Within a year up to 120 pupils were attending. The school was extended in 1872 with the addition of an infants room. The first report by the Head in 1872 was hardly complimentary: ‘The intelligence of the Upper classes requires much cultivation.’ In 1880 the Inspector is scathing and considers that the spelling throughout the school might be better. In 1895 Mr Brittiff Tidd and his wife Agnes were appointed as Headmaster and Mistress. Their eight years of service Barrowden School, now a private house ’greatly improved the village school, and the discipline (and) efficiency.’ Following their departure in 1903, standards declined almost overnight. However by 1905 the Inspector was able to report ‘a decided improvement in the tone, discipline and efficiency of the school.’ In 1973 the children of junior school age were moved to North Luffenham Primary School. For several years, the building continued to be run as an Infant School for three and four year olds. Grantham Journal, 9 May 1903 Bisbrooke (later Bisbrooke and Glaston) School opened in 1872 in the grounds of Bisbrooke Hall. The school could accommodate 64 seniors and 24 infants. A constant concern was over the number of pupils attending as funding was dependent on this. Frequently the attendance officer would be called in to see the parents of absent pupils. Often the reason was illness: ‘A few of the children have been away with blister pox’ (May 1892). ‘Coughing among the children is, at times, most distressing’ (Feb 1901). The School in around 1911 ‘2 or 3 cases of ringworm’ (June 1903).
