Ten trenches were excavated. The evaluation identified a number of archaeological features within the proposed development area. These included ditches and a pond associated with a post-medieval, and possibly earlier, fulling mill and a number of gullies possibly associated with a field system of unknown date. 2 © Cotswold Archaeology Land off Bath Road, Leonard Stanley, Gloucestershire: Archaeological Evaluation 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 In September 2015 Cotswold Archaeology (CA) carried out an archaeological evaluation for Hunter Page Planning on land off Bath Road, Leonard Stanley, Gloucestershire (centred on NGR: ST 8017 0358; Fig. 1). The evaluation was undertaken, at the request of Charles Parry, Archaeologist, Gloucestershire County Council (GCC), the archaeological advisor to Stroud District Council (SDC), to inform a forthcoming planning application for residential development. 1.2 The evaluation was carried out in accordance with a detailed Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) produced by CA (2015) and approved by Mr Parry. The fieldwork also followed Standard and guidance: Archaeological field evaluation (CIfA 2014), the Management of Archaeological Projects (English Heritage 1991) and the Management of Research Projects in the Historic Environment (MORPHE): Project Manager’s Guide (English Heritage 2006). The site 1.3 The proposed development area is approximately 3.4ha in extent, and comprises land within a single field to the north of Bath Road, Leonard Stanley. The site is bordered to the south by Bath Road itself, and to the east, west and north by field boundaries. The site is situated on a gentle north-facing slope which descends to the River Frome approximately 700m to the north, and lies between 35m and 45m AOD 1.4 The underlying solid geology of the area is mapped as Blue Lias Formation and Charmouth Mudstone, laid down during the Jurassic and Triassic periods. No drift deposits are recorded within the site (BGS 2015). The natural substrate identified during the course of the current works varied between clay, silty clay and clay with gravel patches. 2. ARCHAEOLOGICAL BACKGROUND 2.1 The application area has been subject to a Heritage Desk-Based Assessment and geophysical survey (CA 2014 and GSB 2015 respectively). The assessment established that no archaeological heritage assets of the highest significance 3 © Cotswold Archaeology Land off Bath Road, Leonard Stanley, Gloucestershire: Archaeological Evaluation (designated or nationally important) are currently recorded within the current site or its immediate proximity (CA 2014). 2.2 The assessment noted that substantial quantities of worked Mesolithic and Neolithic flint have previously been recorded during gravel extraction 500m to the north-west of the site. A large cropmark complex, indicative of a prehistoric settlement, has also been recorded 500m to the north-west of the site. Although no evidence of associated cropmarks was revealed extending into the proposed development site, the assessment did conclude that there was the potential for peripheral features associated with this settlement, such as field systems, to extend into the current site (ibid.). 2.3 Evidence of Romano-British occupation from the 3rd and 4th centuries, tentatively interpreted as a possible villa, was identified during archaeological excavations at The Priory Church, 350m to the south of the site. The church itself originated in the Saxon period before developing in the medieval period as an ecclesiastical centre (ibid.). 2.4 Leonard Stanley is recorded in the Domesday Book, and was a significant local centre. A market was granted to the town by Edward II, which was recorded as the only market within the Hundred. The ‘Seven Waters’, a complex of fishponds and dams to the west of Leonard Stanley, is of medieval date and lies 500m to the south-west of the site (ibid.). It has been suggested that a post-medieval, and possibly earlier, fulling mill was founded in, or in close proximity to, the site on the lowest pond of Seven Waters (Ortzen 1980, 11). 2.5 The proposed development site lies outside of the historic core of Leonard Stanley, and there is no evidence for any medieval settlement remains to lie within it. Rather, it may have formed part of the agricultural hinterland of the settlement during the medieval period (CA 2014). 2.6 The geophysical survey identified no anomalies of archaeological origin. Responses of uncertain origin were interpreted as probable drainage installations associated with the adjacent river, although they coincide with an enclosure shown on historic mapping before 1902. A former field boundary and a footpath were also detected, and a ridge and furrow agricultural regime identified. Some weak trends are likely to be of agricultural origin (GSB 2015) 4 © Cotswold Archaeology Land off Bath Road, Leonard Stanley, Gloucestershire: Archaeological Evaluation 3. AIM S AN D O B JEC T IVES 3.1 The objectives of the evaluation were to provide information about the archaeological resource within the site, including its presence/absence, character, extent, date, integrity, state of preservation and quality. In accordance with Standard and guidance: Archaeological field evaluation (CIfA 2014), the evaluation has been designed to be minimally intrusive and minimally destructive to archaeological remains. The information gathered will enable SDC to identify and assess the particular significance of any heritage asset, consider the impact of the proposed development upon it, and to avoid or minimise conflict between the heritage asset’s conservation and any aspect of the development proposal, in line with the National Planning Policy Framework (DCLG 2012). 4. METHODOLOGY 4.1 The fieldwork comprised the excavation of 10 trenches (Trenches 1-10), in the locations shown on the attached plan (Fig. 2). Originally the trenches were each to measure 40m in length, however, the presence of live overhead power lines necessitated the repositioning and/or the shortening of Trenches 1-3, 5, 6 and 9, with the approval of Mr Parry. Each trench measured 1.6m in width and was set out on OS National Grid (NGR) co-ordinates using Leica GPS and surveyed in accordance with CA Technical Manual 4 Survey Manual. 4.2 All trenches were excavated by mechanical excavator equipped with a toothless grading bucket. All machine excavation was undertaken under constant archaeological supervision to the top of the first significant archaeological horizon

These representations have been prepared by Savills on behalf of The Berkeley Estate (TBE) in response to the consultation on the Draft Stroud District Local Plan (Draft LP) which ends on 22 January 2020. 2. The Berkeley family, who remain integral to TBE, has been associated with Berkeley since the 12th Century. The family’s long term commitment to the area, its community and the rural economy means that the use/development of its land is important to its legacy. For the same reason, TBE also engages with the development of the wider District, and takes an active interest in the Development Plan process. 3. TBE land interest is focused in the south western part of the District, extending to approximately 6,000 acres in Gloucestershire’s Berkeley Vale. It includes a mediaeval Deer Park, a number of farms let to farming tenants (where the families have often been on the land for generations), cottages, offices, a hotel and two pubs. TBE also owns the New Grounds at Slimbridge, where the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust is based, and about five miles of the bed of the River Severn. It is a vibrant business providing employment and business opportunities. 4. Specific comments within these representations are made in respect of the proposed allocations relating to the ‘land at Focus School, Wanswell’, ‘Sharpness Garden Village’ and ‘Wisloe Garden Village’.

  • 00052 Leonard Stanley Parish Council
    LEONARD STANLEY PARISH COUNCIL To the Local Plan Review Team Stroud District Council Ebley Mill Stroud GL5 4UB 7th January 2020 Local Plan Review - Draft Plan for Consultation November 2019 LSPC is extremely disappointed that little has been done to address their concerns raised in their response (dated 15th January 2019) to the previous consultation for the ‘Emerging Strategy’ and has several objections to the approach now being put forward. 1) According to page 33 (2.48) states: “Modest housing allocations will also be delivered at the local service centres of Berkeley, Minchinhampton, Nailsworth and Painswick and lesser levels of housing will be allocated at the Tier 3a villages of Brimscombe and Thrupp, Frampton-on-Severn, Kings Stanley, Kingswood, Leonard Stanley and Whitminster.” However, this is contradicted on Page 51 under Core Policy CP2 where the key service centres are allocated housing of between 20 and 120; whereas Tier 3a villages of Brimscombe and Thrupp, Kingswood, Leonard Stanley and Whitminster have been allocated between 40 and 190! As the statement on page 33 is mis-leading, this needs to be removed and replaced by a statement that reflects the true situation. 2) Page 50 under the description for Tier 3a – Accessible Settlement with Local Facilities “Further development will be focused inside the settlement development limits or (exceptionally) on the edge of settlements, subject to meeting criteria set out in the Plan’s Core and Delivery policies, and will principally meet specific local housing, employment and community infrastructure needs, with a view to safeguarding or enhancing each settlement’s current role, function and accessibility.” The statement of ‘exceptionally’ permitting development outside the SDL is a green light for developers to manipulate and is open to misinterpretation and therefore is a great risk to villages like Leonard Stanley.

  • The Fleece Medical Society
    Bristol Medico-Chirurgical Journal January/April 1983 The Fleece Medical Society H. J. Eastes, M.B., B.S., F.R.C.G.P. General Practitioner, Marshfield The Bristol Medico-Chirurgical Society was formed in 1874 and 9 years later a hundred years ago its journal first appeared. However, some 84 years ear- lier, on 21st May 1788, five members of our pro- fession all school friends or fellow students met in the parlour of the Fleece Inn at Rodborough, in the valley between Stroud and Nailsworth and resolved to set up the Gloucestershire Medical Society, better known as the Fleece Medical Society. The Fleece Inn, built in 1753, was patronised by members of the woollen trade which flourished in the valley. In 1853 the licence seems to have been transferred to a building nearer Stroud and known as the Old Fleece Inn. The original building in which Jenner and his friends met is now a private residence Hillgrove House on the A46 (Figure 1). Two of the five members founding the Fleece Medical Society, Edward Jenner of Berkeley and John Hickes of Gloucester, were already members of the Convivio-Medical Society meeting at the Ship Inn at Alveston near Bristol, a largely social club whose members were threatening to expel Jenner for his insistence on the importance of Coxpox as a protection against Smallpox. This may have been the spur that brought these five friends together to form what was, I believe, the oldest provincial medical society of which records still exist. The minutes are preserved, thanks to Sir William Osier The original Fleece Inn who bought them from Dr.
