    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).

    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.

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.

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.

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.

[email protected] or telephone: 0116 454 1001 East-West Link Road : A Phoenix from the Ashes The East-West Link Road in its various forms has been an idea since 1916. The most recent serious attempt to build a road bridge across Leicester’s green lungs of Aylestone Meadows was in the early nineties when Bede Island was being regenerated. Fortunately, fierce local opposition and ever increasing costs caused councillors at County Hall who were then responsible for building new roads, to abandon the idea. However, Leicester City Council has been consulting about including it in the next Local Plan. The Local Plan is an attempt by the City Council to meet the needs of its citizens for homes, jobs and leisure for the next 15 years. Another round of consultation on the next stage of the Local Plan will take place later this year. The current proposed route is from Narborough Road along Evesham Road and through Aylestone Meadows to Aylestone Road. It will then cross St. Mary’s to join with Saffron Lane. A local campaign group called “End of the Road LE3” wants the City Council to remove it from any future Local Plan.

    ORM the SERPENT: a Tale of Viking Leicestershire Michael Wood

    ORM THE SERPENT: A taLE OF VIKING LEICESTERSHIRE Michael Wood It is a real pleasure, and a great honour, to be elected President of the Society – an undeserved honour given such distinguished predecessors. Local history is the root of history, and Leicester is the home of local history. Almost at the start of British writing on local history, following Lambarde in Kent, came Burton’s Description of Leicestershire (which went through Ned Blunt’s printing shop at the same time as the First Folio).1 Burton planned no less than three village histories – Lindley, Theddingworth and Dadlington – and his notebooks are a still untapped source of material, including his transcripts of lost Leicestershire Hundred Rolls in the Bodleian Library which would be a very valuable and exciting task for a local historian with Latin, following the model of the Kent Hundred Rolls Project. Later, as local studies burgeoned the London printer John Nichols compiled perhaps the greatest local history ever written, The History and Antiquities of the County of Leicester, which is still a gold mine for the local historian. That impetus continued throughout the nineteenth century when this society was founded in 1855. Then from the 1930s came a new golden age (a long one – for we are still in it!) when Frank Attenborough brought the Devonian Bill Hoskins here (there are photos of young David counting hedgerows around Oadby!). From then on the Transactions contain a roll call of the great historians who have shaped every generation of students since and opened local studies to a far wider public, nationally and internationally.
