  • Gilmorton Settlement Profile Introduction
    Gilmorton Settlement Profile Introduction General Location: Gilmorton village lies 3 miles north-east of Lutterworth. Leicester is 10 miles north, whilst Market Harborough is 15 miles to the east of the parish. Gilmorton is bordered by Ashby Magna and Peatling Parva to the north, Kimcote and Walton to the east, Misterton with Walcote to the south, with Lutterworth, Bitteswell and Ashby Parva to the west The north-east of the parish is occupied by Bruntingthorpe airfield, a now defunct RAF base that is home to an Aircraft museum and is now used for both aviation and non-aviation purposes. The village is broadly linear in form, running for over 1km north-south along Main Street. It is situated in a gently undulating landscape and is of Saxon origin. The parish lies on a watershed with streams rising to the north flowing into the North Sea via the Humber whilst those to the south flow in southwards to the Bristol Channel. Gilmorton always has been, and to some extent still is an agricultural village, but the relative decline of this industry has led to the area increasingly becoming a commuter village. The village has seen a long, steady decline in its public transport provision over the years, leaving only a twice-daily taxi-bus service to Lutterworth in the present day. A similar decline has occurred with the provision of shops/services in the village, but fortunately for many residents Gilmorton has managed to retain its village store, heralded as one of the best in Leicestershire. The village is identified as a Selected Rural Village in the Core Strategy for the District and as such, is outlined as a settlement that would potentially benefit from the support of limited development such as rural housing.

  • Archaeology in Leicestershire and Rutland 1993
    Archaeology in Leicestershire and Rutland 1993 EXCAVATIONS: INTERIM REPORTS The medieval Trent bridges at Lynden Cooper and Susan Ripper Hemington Fields, Castle Donington (SK 459 302) Since the excavation of the Norman mill dam in 1985 by the Leicestershire Archaeological Unit, continued surveillance of the quarry has been undertaken by Dr. C.R. Salisbury (illus.l; see below p.179) . In August 1993 the Leicestershire Archaeological Unit was informed of two substantial timber and stone structures, the pier bases for a bridge. These were revealed during overburden stripping prior to gravel extraction. Subsequent excavation revealed two further pier bases for the bridge, provisionally dated to the mid 13th century. As excavations were being completed on this structure yet more massive timbers were uncovered at the quarry face, some 50m to the north-east. A second programme of excavation was therefore undertaken which revealed an even earlier bridge, of 11 th/12th century date. A third bridge structure was also found, located between the latter bridges, but had to be recorded under watching brief conditions. This structure has a provisional early 13th century date. After three months of excavation and two months of watching brief it is now possible to give some indication of the findings (illus. 2). The 11th/12th century bridge (illus. 2-5) The earliest bridge identified, incorporated the remains of two partially collapsed pier bases, a double row of posts (which may represent a second phase of bridge) and a collapsed trestle structure. The north-western extent of the bridge was quarried away during gravel extraction in 1991, although four upright posts were recorded which undoubtedly represent the continuation of the double row of posts (see below p.160).

  • Planning Committee
    14/00833/FUL – Theddingworth Development of a renewable energy farm, to Abbey Renewables Solar Energy Limited include the installation of solar panels, Target Date: 12.09.2014 transformer rooms and plant, temporary access and on-site tracks, security fencing and cameras, landscaping and other associated works, at Land At Beeches Farm, Mowsley Road, Theddingworth COMMITTEE SITE VISIT Recommendation: REFUSE for the following reasons: 1. The proposal, by virtue of its size, siting and visual prominence, would appear as a dominant and visually intrusive feature in the landscape, and would detrimentally affect the character of this part of the Welland Valley landscape. The proposed development therefore fails to accord with Policies CS9 and CS17 of the Harborough District Core Strategy and paragraph 17 of the National Planning Policy Framework. 2. The proposal, by virtue of its size, location and prominence, would appear as a dominant and intrusive feature, that would detrimentally affect the significance and setting of the Theddingworth Conservation Area and the Husbands Bosworth Conservation Area, the Grade I listed Church of All Saints Church, Theddingworth and the Grade II listed Theddingworth Lodge. The proposed development therefore fails to accord with Policies CS9 and CS11 of the Harborough District Core Strategy and paragraphs 132 and 134 of the National Planning Policy Framework. 3. The applicant has failed to demonstrate that the proposal would not detrimentally affect buried archaeological remains, and the application therefore fails to comply with Core Strategy Policy CS11 and paragraphs 128, 129 and 135 of the National Planning Policy Framework. Note: The decision has been reached taking into account paragraphs 186-187 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

  • Flanagan's Running Club – Issue 31
    Flanagan's Running Club – Issue 31 Introduction The first rule of Flanagan's Running Club is everyone should be telling everyone they know about Flanagan's Running Club! After all, sharing is caring. Details of how to sign up is in the epilogue. There is no need to panic, there is no actual running involved, it is not a running club in that sense. The title is made up from extending the title of my favourite book – Flanagan’s Run by Tom McNab. So enjoy the read. On This Day – 10th February 1870 - The YWCA is founded in New York City. 1940 - Tom and Jerry make their debut with Puss Gets the Boot. 1996 - IBM supercomputer Deep Blue defeats Garry Kasparov in chess for the first time. It’s Feast of St. Paul's Shipwreck (Malta) Fenkil Day (Eritrea) 365 Reasons To Be Proud To Be A Londoner - Magical Moments in London's History What is the bestselling novel ever, in any language? Thankfully it’s not 50 Shades, but A Tale of Two Cities, by Charles Dickens (200 million copies sold). Dickens created some of the most memorable characters in literary history, including Oliver Twist, Ebenezer Scrooge, Mr Micawber, Miss Havisham and Uriah Heep. ‘Dickensian London’ has entered our imagination as a real place – not that you’d like to go there. And it was today in 1836 that Dickens’ first novel, The Pickwick Papers, was commissioned as a monthly serial. It was an immediate success, bringing the twenty-four-year-old writer instant fame.

  • 94: Leicestershire Vales Area Profile: Supporting Documents
    National Character 94: Leicestershire Vales Area profile: Supporting documents www.naturalengland.org.uk 1 National Character 94: Leicestershire Vales Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper1, Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention3, we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future. 1 The Natural Choice: Securing the Value of Nature, Defra NCA profiles are working documents which draw on current evidence and (2011; URL: www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm80/8082/8082.pdf) 2 knowledge.

  • Langtons' and District Newsletter
    Langtons’ and District Newsletter Spring Edition 2020 February Fill Dyke An old saying goes, "February fill dyke, be black or be it white; Be it white, 'tis better to like." This roughly means that rain and snow are both welcome in February, although snow is preferable. Well it’s certainly been black this year. Harborough District Council are encouraging parish councils to put in place Community Response Plans in the event of an incident such as severe weather. Tur Langton Parish Council has theirs and East Langton Parish Council’s is nearly completed (see p 7). The plan provides a guide as to how and where the local community may support the Emergency services in terms of information and providing predetermined resources where appropriate. Let’s hope we never have to use it. Keep safe. Roz Folwell Stonton Wyville taken by G. Devereaux-Batchelor Printed by Omniprint, Market Harborough 1 2 Church Langton CE (AIDED) Primary School Young Voices The pupils in years five and six were very fortunate to have the opportunity to perform as part of a six thousand strong choir at the Young Voices concert at the Birmingham Arena. Supported by a very keen team of teachers, the children sang with a wide range of acts including Tony Hadley and alongside street dance group Urban Sounds. This is part of our ongoing opportunities for the pupils to take part in musical performances to different audiences. As part of the Spark Festival, a celebration of the arts taking place in Leicester during February, we were delighted to welcome an IndoJazz band to perform to the children.
