Please note that the list does not provide the contents of the records. Also, although it includes covering dates, the registers may not cover every year and there may be gaps in entries. In particular, there are large gaps in many of the bishop’s transcripts. Church of England records Parish registers We hold registers and records of parishes in the City and Deanery of Bristol (later the Archdeaconry of Bristol) which is part of the Diocese of Bristol. These cover: The city of Bristol Some parishes in southern Gloucestershire, north and east of Bristol A few parishes in north Somerset Some registers date from 1538, when parish registers were first introduced. Bishop’s transcripts We hold bishop’s transcripts for the areas listed above, as well as several Wiltshire parishes. We also hold microfiche copies of bishop’s transcripts for a few parishes in the Diocese of Bath and Wells. Bishop’s transcripts are a useful substitute when original registers have not survived. In particular, records of the following churches were destroyed or damaged in the Blitz during the Second World War: St Peter, St Mary le Port, St Paul Bedminster and Temple.

Engagement purpose, methodology and response Objectives South Gloucestershire Council along with its partners are in the process of developing a masterplan for Yate, which will set out the long-term vision for improving the town. The purpose of this engagement period was to seek views and gather opinions from groups and organisations on the emerging vision and ideas for Yate, including opportunities around six key themes and three focus areas. The feedback will inform the draft Yate Town Improvement Masterplan, which will be put to consultation in early summer 2021. Methodology Process The public engagement process was supported by a dedicated webpage, which hosted all the engagement documents, an online feedback form, and an interactive map at yatefuture.com The engagement period ran between Monday 5th October and Monday 16th November 2020. As part of the engagement period, we welcomed comments made online and by letter, email and over the phone. The feedback methods were promoted within engagement materials available on the dedicated masterplan website, on posters around Yate, and on postcards delivered to residents of Yate.

  • News for January 2012
    News for January 2012 Thursday 5th January 2012 - report from Bill Balchin: Our first Thursday ride of the year after the country had been battered by storms all week with lorries blown over and trees brought down blocking roads (although not in our area). We just had strong winds to deal with - gusts of fifty miles per hour were recorded today. And as five crazies sat in the bus shelter at Ashton bridge a heavy shower started soon after 10am. So we gave it a few minutes and by twenty past Richard, one of our new recruits, arrived and the rain stopped so we were off. John Killick took over the leaders role today as John Bishop needed to take some precious cargo to the Hunters Rest at Clutton Hill and needed to go by car. We got to Wildcountry Lane where a sign indicated that the lane would be closed for three months from mid-January for roadworks by Bristol Water when Richard had a puncture. He was finding the cycling such hard work he decided to turn back leaving John, Bill, Pete, Martyn and JT2 to splash their way to Winford Manor then take the nice but mucky lane down into Chew Stoke. It was not actually raining and the wind was more across us rather than a headwind so not too bad as we went on to Chew Magna then Stanton Drew. Climbing up to Stanton Wick you could actually feel the hand of that nice wind pushing on your back helping you along. Over the big roundabout at Chelwood Bridge then we took the small lane for the final climb up to Clutton Hill.
