  • Bosworth at Redemore: Focus and Context
    Bosworth at Redemore: Focus and Context PETER J. FOSS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT local document to come to light in recent years (that is, since my work of the 1980s) relevant to the location of the battle of Bosworth is a demesne terrier belonging to the Abbey of St Mary de Pratis (Leicester Abbey) identified by Professor Barrie Cox in his contribution to the archaeological survey undertaken by the Battlefields Trust in 2005–09. The document1 is dated to between 1467 and 1484 and itemises fields, furlongs and meadows in the township of Stoke Golding (‘Stoke’) at the end of the fifteenth century, on the cusp of the battle of Bosworth. I would like here to offer a brief examination of this document and, together with other local records, show how it helps to focus on the place where the battle of Bosworth was fought, and how this reflects on the context of the archaeological discoveries made in 2009. I would also like to correct and rebal- ance a number of recent misconceptions. A Leicester Abbey Demesne Terrier The document identifies three open fields – Halmorefelde, Garbrodfelde and Whytmorefelde – which can be equated roughly with later named areas (from the early seventeenth century at least) in the same parish; that is, the later-named ‘Crownehillfielde’ with Garbrodfelde, ‘Milnehillfield’ with Whytmorefelde, and Halmorefelde with the area that lay south of the manor-house and its park (the ‘Park’ and ‘Great Pasture’ marked on Trimnell’s map of 1637).2 The inference has been made, reasonably, that the change of name from Garbrodfelde to Crownehillfelde

  • Shackerstone
    Shackerstone Conservation Area Appraisal The early history of the village is uncertain and first reference to the settlement appeared in the Doomsday Book of 1086 when reference was made to “Sacrestone” which means town of robbers. After the Norman Conquest when the Saxon estates were handed over to the Norman overlords, a 12th century castle was built to the north of Station Road, the earthworks of which are still visible. In the Elizabethan era the Halls were the prominent family in the village. They occupied Shackerstone Hall next to the church for over 200 years from around 1630 until they emigrated to Australia in 1829 after selling the estate to Lord Howe. The Hall burned down in 1845 and was replaced by the Gopsall estate workers cottage on Church Walk. At that time, the village was a successful self supporting community and had four farms, two pubs two shops, a bakery, a builder, a carpenter, brickworks, a post office, a coal merchant, a dressmaker, a shoemaker and a blacksmith. It also was the home for a large coach building business until 1935 run by the Insley family which provided employment for a coachbuilder, a wheelwright and up to 30 other people. The coach works supplied wagons and wheelbarrows throughout the country. The farms included Bridge Farm which also housed the village bakery, Church Farm, Arnold Farm and Cattows Farm. To support the 300 residents in the village Earl Howe funded the construction of the village school and school house in 1844. The school closed in the 1930’s and the school house is now the Village Hall.

All British butterflies are active in daylight hours thus separating them from the majority of moths. Additionally, British butterflies (but not necessarily else- where) can be readily distinguished from day-flying moths by the presence of clubbed antennae. The only possible confusion which may arise is with the moth-like skippers but close examination of the antennae will help identification. The taxonomy of the British butterflies varies according to the literature consulted. In the present study the system of nomenclature used by Emmet & Heath in "The Moths and Butterflies of Great Britain and lreland" (MGBGI) has been followed. According to this nomenclature five families of butterflies are found in Britain. Hesperiidae (skippers) grassland insects often associated with woodland edge and hedgerows; moth-Iike when at rest and easily overlooked because of their unobtrusive behaviour. Papilionidae (swallowtails) - the British swallowtail is restricted to parts of East Anglia. Pieridae (whites, sulphurs) perhaps the most familiar of the British butterflies being found in a range of habitats; the clouded yellow is an occasional migrant; it is thought v by some t.hat migratory large whit.es may swell local populations although this is disputed by others.

    Bosworth Battlefield: The Way Forward Final: August 2013 Alison Farmer Associates 29 Montague Road Cambridge CB4 1BU 01223 461444 [email protected] in association with Carolyn Lloyd Brown FTS MAHI and Countryscape 2 Acknowledgements Alison Farmer Associates would like to thank all parties for their contributions to the development and formation of Bosworth Battlefield: The Way Forward. It has been invaluable in helping to shape the production of this document and consider the opportunities for future approaches to caring for and sustaining the wider Battlefield landscape. Leicestershire County Council would also like to thank the Landowners and other partners for their considerable support for the research and development surrounding the archaeological survey and associated activities over the past fifteen years. This support has been significant in helping to create a first class heritage centre with an international audience. As one of many stakeholders in the Battlefield area, we look forward to continuing to work with our partners in understanding and preserving the landscape. English Heritage Leicestershire County Council 44 Derngate County Hall Northampton Glenfield NN1 1UH Leicestershire LE3 8RA 3 Executive Summary Introducing the Bosworth Battlefield Area The Battle of Bosworth is a well-known historical event marking a turning point in English history. The Battle took place on the 22 August 1485 between King Richard III and Henry Tudor, who would later be crowned Henry VII. Arguably it marks the end of the Wars of the Roses. This event has accrued even greater significance following the discovery of the remains of Richard III in Leicester in 2012 and plans for a Richard III Visitor Centre in Leicester, with a re-emphasis on the heritage of the area and the increased interest from tourists, local communities and schools.

  • Response to HS2 Working Draft Environmental Statement 1.0
    NORTH WEST LEICESTERSHIRE DISTRICT COUNCIL – Response to HS2 Working Draft Environmental Statement 1.0 Introduction 1.1 This document and its appendices comprise North West Leicestershire District Council’s (the Council’s) response to the Working Draft Environmental Statement (WDES) for HS2 Phase 2b (the 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. 1.2 There is a sense of disappointment in the paucity of information provided in sections of the WDES, especially in respect of the 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 District will seek to secure written assurances from HS2 Ltd that further work will be carried out to inform the preparation of the Hybrid Bill, including an interim transport assessment, and during the Parliamentary processes. 1.3 HS2 Ltd issued the WDES on 11 October 2018. This material consists of local area reports, four route-wide volumes and a series of map books illustrating over 150 pages of detail for Leicestershire. The consultation period offered by HS2 is 10 weeks, closing on 21 December 2018. The Council wishes to express its disappointment that such a short period of time has been afforded to consulting on such vastly complicated and technical documentation.
