Questions and Answers about weddings at Staunton Harold Hall The setting may be splendid, the State Rooms very grand, but we want you to feel that they are yours for your wedding day. Some roles are best left for the professionals but if you have a friend or relative who can make the cake, arrange the flowers, take photographs, play piano, do use them; it all adds to the intimacy of the occasion. Please tell your guests the Staunton Harold Hall is a family home, not some anonymous hotel or conference centre. How many guests can we have? We are limited to a 95 if you are having a civil ceremony, and a hundred is our limit for the wedding breakfast. Up to fifty extra guests can join the party in the evening. Do we allow marquees? Yes, although our state rooms are so large and fine you may not feel it necessary. Who will do the food? We have enclosed a list of recommended caterers, all of whom we know to be good, and who have worked here many times. If you have a preferred caterer, we would be pleased to meet them. What about drinks? A bar is usually set up in the Staircase Hall. Names of bar suppliers can be provided. How about music? We have found that a good disco gets people on the floor and enjoying themselves. A band can also be recommended, plus smaller ensembles for arriving guests and for Civil Ceremonies. If you know a competent pianist the grand piano in the Great Hall is at your service. Music finishes at 11:45pm. Questions and Answers about weddings at Staunton Harold Hall What happens outside the house? Signposts on the day direct guests to our Melbourne Lodge entrance, usually closed to visitors. The bridal party arrives at the front door, and parking is in the Lion Court car park, immediately behind the hall. Guests often spill out onto lawns leading down to the lake. Confetti: please only biodegradable In the evening, some weddings conclude with a fireworks display, however because we are in the countryside we request that no loud fireworks are used. Cars can be left overnight, and collected on Sunday morning. Facilities inside the Hall? Besides the usual rooms associated with a wedding reception we have a room set aside for the bride and her attendants. There is also another room available where a children’s entertainer can be accommodated. If you have a lot of young children attending it is worth considering how they are going to be entertained. We do not provide adult supervision. What are the time constraints? The hall is available for setting up on Friday for a Saturday wedding. Tables and chairs will already be in place early Friday morning. Midnight is the Cinderella hour for the wedding to finish. Early Sunday morning out staff will be here stacking chairs away etc. We would ask the Bridal Party to collect any personal belongings – wedding presents, etc. before midday Sunday when our staff are on duty. You may have other questions. Caroline can help you with these either by telephone on 01332 864435 or email: [email protected] Ann and her team are on duty throughout the day. They will be on hand to make your day run as smoothly as possible, and to deal with any problems should they arise.

    HS2 Ltd ‘2018 Working Draft Environmental Statement’ Consultation Response of Leicestershire County Council December 2018 Structure of this response This Response to the HS2 Ltd Working Draft Environmental Statement (WDES) by is split into four parts. These are as follows: PART 1: Document Introduction and Main areas of Concern PART 2: Response to WDES Vol 2 – Community Areas LA03, LA04 and LA05 PART 3: Response to WDES Vol 2 – Route-wide Effects PART 4: Response to WDES Vol 3 – Off-route Effects PART 5: Appendices For any enquires about this response, please contact: [email protected] 1 | Page PART 1: Document Introduction and Maim areas of Concern i) This document and its appendices comprise Leicestershire County Council’s (the Council’s) response to the Working Draft Environmental Statement (WDES) for HS2 Phase 2b (the proposed scheme). We issue this response in the spirit of contributing to the processes surrounding this vast infrastructure project, but must include the caveat that the Council can only respond to the material to hand and further intensive work with HS2 Ltd is required to fully understand the impacts for Leicestershire and the most appropriate mitigation. ii) The Council recognises that the WDES is a draft document. However, it is disappointing that even in draft; there is a distinct lack of information provided in sections of the WDES, especially regarding the proposed scheme’s constructional and operational impacts and in respect of its design. But, the Council have determined to use this as an opportunity to shape the design and mitigation across the County. Where clear mitigation is not yet defined, the Council will seek to secure assurances from HS2 Ltd that further work will be carried out to inform the preparation of the Hybrid Bill, including HS2 Ltd preparing an Interim Transport Assessment (including sensitivity testing), and during the Parliamentary processes.

  • Leicestershire Staunton Harold Hall North West
    LEICESTERSHIRE STAUNTON HAROLD HALL NORTH WEST LEICESTERSHIRE GD1966 STAUNTON HAROLD II* SK3821 SUMMARY OF HISTORIC INTEREST A landscape park of 1760s associated with a contemporary country house; park incorporates some elements of extensive formal gardens laid out in later C17. HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT The Shirley family held Staunton from the C15 to 1940. They acquired it in 1423, when Ralph Shirley married Margaret, heiress of John de Staunton, whose family had held the manor since the C12. In 1653 Sir Robert Shirley, fourth baronet Ferrers, who had inherited the estate in 1646, built a chapel next to the Hall. Shirley was a royalist, and it has been argued that its construction was an act of political and religious defiance, rather than a purely practical measure intended to avoid the 8km journey to the parish church at Breedon on the Hill. It is one of only a handful of ecclesiastical buildings new-built during the Commonwealth. Shirley’s second son, created Baron Ferrers in 1677 and Earl Ferrers in 1711, added a new north-east front to the Hall and laid out extensive formal gardens around it. A contemporary described him as ‘a great improver of gardening and parking’ (CL 1913, 526). Thereafter, for sixty years, there were few changes; the second and third Earls died as minors, while the fourth Earl ‘led a dissolute life, drank heavily and neglected his estates’ (quoted unsourced, in Chris Burnett Assocs. 1995) before being hanged for the murder of his steward in 1760. In the years after 1763 the fifth Earl, formerly Admiral Washington Shirley, added the eleven-bay Palladian east front to the Hall and the projecting wings which enclose the Lion court.

  • The Lost Village of Andreschurch 1
    THE LOST VILLAGE OF ANDRESCHURCH 1 1 2 The Lost Village of Andreschurch 3 4 A E Brown 5 6 7 8 9 Reasons are given for identifying the deserted village of Andreschurch with the 10 present-day village of Breedon-on-the Hill. An attempt is made to interpret the late 1 10th-century land book relating to the Breedon area (S749) in the light of this 2 identification and to assess its significance for the landscape history of the parish. 3 4 5 6 Since the early years of the 19th century the deserted, and lost, village of Andreschurch has 7 figured in historical and topographical writing about Leicestershire. John Nichols, 8 in volume three of his History and Antiquities of the County of Leicester, published in 9 1804, described Andreskirk, Andreschirch or Andreskirkton as ‘formerly a considerable 10 village, situated on the limits of the two lordships of Bredon and Staunton (Harold)’. 1 Having cited various documents in the cartulary of Breedon Priory, and relying on an 2 unpublished manuscript written by Sir William Dugdale in the 17th century, he accepted 3 the conclusion that the Canons of Breedon, having secured full possession from a series of 4 freeholders, ‘depopulated the village, and converted it to their own demesne, so that for 5 many ages the very name as well as the site of it is lost to oblivion’ (1804, 702). He claimed 6 that the foundations of houses were occasionally discovered in the enclosed fields known 7 as the Scalacres, which lie close to the south-western boundary of Breedon parish (Fig 1).

  • County Councillor Annual Report
    County Councillor Annual Report This report summarises the activities of the following member of the County Council during Name of Councillor Mr N J Rushton CC 1) Electoral Division activities Main Activities and the impact during the past year: The 2018/19 civic year at County Hall has been eventful. We’re now halfway through the current term, preparing for the County elections in 2021. On top of my County Council duties as Leader of the Council representing the strategic interests of all the residents in Leicestershire, I try to attend all my parish councils of Ashby-de-la Zouch, Belton, Breedon on the Hill, Coleorton, Isley cum Langley, Long Whatton, Normanton le Heath, Osgathorpe, Packington, Staunton Harold, Swannington and Worthington, on a regular basis. Most of the issues residents raise with me are planning, environment and development related, but increasingly, I’ve found residents are concerned with housing pressures, speeding traffic, inconsiderate parking, access to local schools, school transport, waste disposal, health and social care issues, infrastructure needed to support development, such as superfast broadband, schools and road improvements. I hold regular meetings with our local MP Andrew Bridgen throughout the year. We work closely together to try and resolve the issues and casework raised. Our work on lobbying Government for a fairer way to fund future local government spending has yielded some results, not only a full Government review on fairer funding, but also a review on business rates distribution and their retention locally. This work is ongoing as uncertainty in Government and Brexit continues to affect the domestic policy agenda.

No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or transmitted in any form or by means, electronic, mechanical or otherwise without first seeking the written permission of the author 2 PART 1 THE HAMLET OF “HEATH END” Heath End was at one time a small hamlet divided east and west by Callan’s Lane between the parishes of Staunton and Ashby de la Zouch in NW Leicestershire. The surrounding area of Heath End has an interesting industrial heritage which the reader will experience later in the book. Presumably, the name of Heath End is related to the adjacent area known as Rough Heath. In the Heath End conservation and appraisal study carried out by NWLDC in 2002, “Ley Farmhouse” on the west side of Callan’s Lane, is listed as being a sixteenth century timber framed house with stone plinth. In J.

Further, it should be noted in some cases properties have been sub-divided and have accordingly acquired new names/numbers and that some properties (NOT included themselves within the index) may have listed status as a result of being - or having been - within the curtilage of a principal listed building at the time of a listing.
