Belgrave Stuart Galloway U3A WTT Belgrave Stuart Galloway Route Summary A circular walk around historic Belgrave. Route Overview Category: Walking Length: 6.430 km / 4.02 mi Parking: The Sidings LE4 3BR Last Modified: 1st March 2017 Difficulty: Medium Rating: Unrated Surface: Average Refreshments: Platform Cafe The Sidings Date Published: 1st March 2017 Description This is an urban walk which crosses several busy roads so care should be taken. Some muddy patches after rain along the river. Waypoints Great Central Railway (52.66658; -1.13374) The Great Central Railway is now a heritage railway which links Leicester and Nottingham. Leicester North Station is the southernmost station. It is on the route of the original railway that linked Manchester, Sheffield, Nottingham and Leicester with London Marylebone. It was originally called Belgrave and Birstall Station. Following Beecham's sentence of death it became derelict but was restored by the Main Line Steam Trust and is now the site of a proposed new heritage railway museum. Backed by £10 million from the Heritage Lottery Fund, it is set to open in 2021 Walk down The Sidings, turn left and proceed a few yards along Redhill Way, turning left into Belgrave Cemetery Belgrave Cemetry (52.66637; -1.13221) 1 / 7 During the 1800's owing to the rapidly expanding towns and cities, sanitation was becoming appalling with diseases; such as cholera becoming mass killers. Up until about the middle of the 1800's those who died in urban areas such as Belgrave were buried in urban churchyards and had been for about 850 years since the Norman Conquest. But these small churchyards were overflowing so something had to be done. In 1848 a private act of Parliament was obtained to build the first Municipal Cemetery in the south of Leicester - Welford Road. Belgrave cemetery Is the smallest of Leicester’s Municipal cemeteries, the other being Gilroes, Saffron Hill and Welford Road. It opened in 1881. It has about 4,500 burial plots and is still a working cemetery, although you can no longer buy a plot. There is a small voluntary group - The Friends of Belgrave Cemetery, dedicated to the history and conservation and who are on site on Sunday mornings. They can provide help and advice for those undertaking family tree research or wishing to track down relatives. Have a walk around and see if you recognise the names of any of the 'residents'. One worth mentioning is Jabez Penn, and his son-in-law, Tom Hoskins, who started brewing at Hope Cottage, Beaumanor Road, later to become Tom Hoskins Brewery. Turn right out of the cemetery and carry on back into The Sidings, taking the first track on your right which will take you over the main road via a road bridge. Turn left on to the old Thurcaston Road (Route 4 on the signpost opposite). Cross the road and walk down to and over the traffic lights over A6. Carry on down Thurcaston Road and over the old bridge to the notice board about Old Belgrave. Medieval Bridge (52.66075; -1.12819) This Medieval Bridge dates from the 15th century, although a bridge has existed since 1357. It was widened sometime around the late 18th century when the unnavigable bits of the River Soar was canalised to the north and south of Belgrave, to enable barges through. It was once on one of the country's most important roads and was shown on an early strip map dated 1675 as part of the route from London to Manchester and Carlisle. It has 6 arches and was originally made from stone rubble (mostly granite). As can be seen, it has undergone considerable ugly alterations and only one of the arches now retains its original stone lining. It now has Grade III listed status. It was the only way to cross the Soar in Belgrave until a new bridge was built to the north in 1834 which diverted the traffic along a less tortuous route (the now Loughborough Road) during the time when the main road from Loughborough to Market Harborough was turnpiked and a toll was set up to cover the costs of repairing the bridge and the upkeep of the roads. This new bridge is still today referred to as 'The New Bridge' Carry on down Thurcaston Road to the Talbot Inn. 2 / 7 Old Belgrave (52.65965; -1.12555) The first settlement of Belgrave is thought to be Saxon when it developed as an agricultural community clustered here around Thurcaston Road, St. Peters Church and Bath Street (which is a sort of continuation of Thurcaston Road over the traffic lights) where the old village green was. The site was well chosen, sitting above the fertile flood plain of the meandering River Soar as did its neighbours, Birstall, Thurmaston and Wanlip. After the Norman conquest, as did most of Leicestershire, it passed to Sir Hugh de Grandmesnil. Most of the neighbouring villages retained their old English names. But Belgrave's old name was Merdegrave - derived from meard meaning 'marten' and graf meaning 'grove', which seems to suggest a comfortable picture of birds swooping around a grove of trees. But 'Merde in Norman French translates as a rather rude word and must have been a bit laughable, so it was renamed with 'Bel' replacing 'Merde' to mean 'fair' or 'beautiful' - so becoming Belgrave. It has 2 entries in the Doomsday Book, one in Hugh's and the other in his wife's Adeliza's name. In 1086 there were 26 male working adults. Women and children brought this figure up to 65. A Mill was also mentioned which yielded 12s per annum. Much of Belgrave changed hands after the dissolution, but the biggest change occurred after the enclosures of land during the 17th century. The development of the roads and building of the canal during the middle 18th century brought greater economic prosperity and attracted the wealthier Leicester tradespeople to the area. The building of Belgrave Hall in 1709 was to mark the beginning of Belgrave as a residential suburb of Leicester for the wealthy merchants that these changes heralded. Until this time it had stayed an agricultural community until by the 1830's framework knitting was gradually taking over. This quiet corner with Belgrave Hall, House, Gardens and Church is all that remains of Old Belgrave and is now a conservation area; more about these buildings a bit later. The Talbot Inn, named after the Talbot (a white hunting dog) dates from the 18th century when Thurcaston Road was the main road through Belgrave. In the parish records of 1784 it is referred to as being 'new built'. A fire in the 1950's resulted in it being reduced from its original 3 stories to 2 stories high. It is said that it was the last place a criminal could get a meal on the way to be executed at the nearby Red Hill Gallows. Their bodies were then returned to the outbuildings, which served as a morgue. Return to the Old Bridge and take the sloping path down to the right and follow the narrower of the two paths, keeping the river immediately on the left. After a few hundred yds or so you will reach the New Bridge mentioned earlier. If not flooded, go under this bridge which carries the Loughborough Road. Otherwise there is an obvious track which takes you over the road and down the other side (could be a bit slippery). Carry on along the side of the river passing over 3 small bridges, marked 13A, 13B and 13C turning right when reaching the Watermead Way Bridge and into Oaklands Nature Reserve. Follow the path round for a few hundred yds or so, keeping well to the perimeter (can be flooded in centre). Turn right directly after crossing a small footbridge and carry on until you get back to the path by the river. Turn left and go back over bridges 13B and 13C 3 / 7 Follow cycle route 1 to the left, following it round until Bath Street is reached (Amusement Depot on your right). Turn right and proceed down Bath Street until you reach some bollards. Old Village Green (52.66278; -1.12102) This is the site of the old Village Green where the old medieval mansions and halls once stood. The Old Workhouse also once stood here. It was built to the same pattern as the one at Birstall and consisted of 3 poor cottages with a larger one on the left for the workhouse master. It was in use until 1837 when the Barrow Union Workhouse was built in Mountsorrel to accommodate the poor of the parishes of Belgrave, Birstall, Wanlip, Syston, Thurmaston along with other villages along the Soar. Carry on down the 2nd part Bath Street and cross over Loughborough Road at the traffic lights. Cross Corners (52.66028; -1.12396) Here is the Cross Corners which was built in 1776 by James Vann. During the 1st World War it served as accommodation for Belgian refugees and later became a home for 'mentally deficient boys'. It is now a community arts centre owned by the City Council. The National School on the other corner was built in 1861 on the original site of the Bulls Head pub. Alfred Ellis, who lived opposite the Cross Corners, didn't like the sordidness, so he bought it, demolished it and gave the land for the new school. A new pub was built a few years later on Bath Street. By 1877 the school had 870 pupils. It closed in 1974 and is now owned by a firm of solicitors.

As followers in the Conqueror’s army the Wydeviles rose through service with the Mowbray family. If we accept the definition given by Crouch and Turner for a brief period of time the Wydeviles qualified as barons in the twelfth century. This position was not maintained. By the thirteenth century the family had split into two distinct branches. The senior line settled in Yorkshire while the junior branch settled in Northamptonshire. The junior branch of the family gradually rose to prominence in the county through service as escheator, sheriff and knight of the shire.

  • Launde Priory 1

According to a narrative concerning the early years of Holy Trinity priory in Aldgate, London, known only from fifteenth-century manuscripts, Bernard prior of Dunstaple, John prior of Launde (Landa), Geoffrey de Clinton, the (king’s) chamberlain (Gaufridus camerarius de Clinton), and others named, witnessed the gift of the Cnihtengild in London to Holy Trinity in that year. It is unsurprising that the priors of two recently founded Augustinian houses should witness a gift to Holy Trinity, thought to be the first Augustinian house in England. Their names were presumably taken from a contemporary deed or other record which has not been preserved (Hodgett, Cartulary of Holy Trinity, 168, no. 871; R. R. Sharpe, Calendar of Letter Books, C, 220). The king’s confirmation of the gift, 000, Regesta 1467, also witnessed by Geoffrey de Clinton, is apparently authentic and datable 1123 × 1127, so the narrative’s date of 1125 may well be accurate. Launde priory was founded at Loddington, ‘in cuius territorio abbatia fundata est’, according to Henry II’s general confirmation of 1155 × 1158 (H2/1456).

  • The Bretons and Normans of England 1066-1154: the Family, the Fief and the Feudal Monarchy*
    © K.S.B. Keats-Rohan 1991. Published Nottingham Mediaeval Studies 36 (1992), 42-78 The Bretons and Normans of England 1066-1154: the family, the fief and the feudal monarchy* In memoriam R.H.C.Davis 1. The Problem (i) the non-Norman Conquest Of all the available studies of the Norman Conquest none has been more than tangentially concerned with the fact, acknowledged by all, that the regional origin of those who participated in or benefited from that conquest was not exclusively Norman. The non-Norman element has generally been regarded as too small to warrant more than isolated comment. No more than a handful of Angevins and Poitevins remained to hold land in England from the new English king; only slightly greater was the number of Flemish mercenaries, while the presence of Germans and Danes can be counted in ones and twos. More striking is the existence of the fief of the count of Boulogne in eastern England. But it is the size of the Breton contingent that is generally agreed to be the most significant. Stenton devoted several illuminating pages of his English Feudalism to the Bretons, suggesting for them an importance which he was uncertain how to define.1 To be sure, isolated studies of these minority groups have appeared, such as that of George Beech on the Poitevins, or those of J.H.Round and more recently Michael Jones on the Bretons.2 But, invaluable as such studies undoubtedly are, they tend to achieve no more for their subjects than the status of feudal curiosities, because they detach their subjects from the wider question of just what was the nature of the post-1066 ruling class of which they formed an integral part.

The Domesday Book records the names of each of three categories of landowners – the tenants‑in‑chief and the tenants in 1086 – TRW = Tempore Regis Guilielmi and the antecessors, the name given to those who held in 1066 – TRE = Tempore Regis Edwardii. Throughout the whole of England about 200 tenants‑in‑chief arc recorded in Domesday Book holding from the King as overlord of whom 15 held in Rutland. About another 5,000 throughout England held as tenants directly of the King or of his tenants‑in‑chief by knight’s fees. Of the latter, there were 16 in Rutland. Sadly the majority of persons referred to in the record are not identified by name. These are people the landowners controlled and who were established in the villages of Rutland. They comprised 10 priests, 142 freemen, 1147 villagers, 244 small holders and 21 slaves (two of whom were women) ‑ a total of 1564. The tenants-in-chief Not unnaturally as Rutland had been the dowry of the Queens of England since 964, King William had in his direct control the largest share of the lands in Rutland – 24 carucates and 39 hides comprising the town of Oakham and 14 manors valued at £193 12s.

  • Packington: Early History - BC to 11Th Century
    Author: Adrian Mongredien Homecroft Drive Packington LE65 1WG 29/02/20 Packington: Early History - BC to 11th Century Packington Village History Group PVHG Packington: Early History - BC to 11th Century by Adrian Mongredien Page 2 of 24 Packington: Early History - BC to 11th Century Author's Foreword My joining the local Village History Group a couple of years ago encouraged me to look at “English” history from a different perspective; that of our local Packington community. How, and when, did it come into existence? How did it fit into the wider world of that era? How did its inhabitants live and survive its turbulent beginnings, and what have we inherited from the various tribes who have lived here before us? The setting up of the Packington Village History Group (PVHG) website at https://pvhg.uk gave impetus to the concept of a written history, as it became clear that a website provided the possibility for the continuous updating of any new local history information as it became available. The final prompt was my recent discovery that, under new government guidelines, history is no longer taught as a compulsory subject, or in a chronological format in the secondary school years. How would the next generation find out about our local ancestors and how they had coped with the huge challenges which faced them? I decided to unfold my laptop and attempt to put some answers to some of these questions on our new website. As I compiled my information. I realised that there are a dwindling number of us left who still think primarily in “imperial measurements”, are comfortable with furlongs, chains, yards, feet and inches, or perhaps struggle with a metrical world, hence the section on Anglo-Saxon measurements.

  • Finding Fulbert in Norman England ©
    FINDING FULBERT IN NORMAN ENGLAND © John F. Polk, PhD Clan Historian Clan Pollock International Fulbert, the progenitor of the Pollok family of Renfrewshire, is known to us as the father of three individuals, Peter, Robert, and Helya (Elias), who were given feudal fee to the lands of Pollok and who appeared in various 12th century Scottish charters. In this paper the possible origin of this family in Norman England will be explored and a specific individual suggested who may in fact have been Fulbert, progenitor of the Pollok family. Background With one exception, Fulbert himself never appeared directly in a Scottish charter but only indirectly in the form of a patronymic with his sons’ signatures, in Latin,1 i.e. Petrus filius Fulberti, Robertus filius Fuberti, Helia filius Fulberti Helya was a cleric and appointed the Canon of Glasgow cathedral. Peter and Robert were invested with lands in the area of Renfrewshire known as Pollok and took that as their title, giving origin to the family name. Robert was also given lands in Steinton (Stenton), East Lothian. The little we know of these sons of Fulbert comes from the few charters on which their names appeared either as a witness or grantor. All we know of Fulbert from Scottish records is that he was identified as their father. Since the lands of Pollok and Steinton were first given by King David I to Walter FitzAlan, his High Steward, we can conclude that Fulbert’s sons were Walter’s followers, and were given their lands as his vassals under the feudal system that David was instituting in Scotland.2 Because of their association with Walter it has also been generally assumed in Pollok family history that they originated from Shropshire in England, as he did, but this is just speculation.
