Bosworth Bugle FOR THE COMMUNITY OF HUSBANDS BOSWORTH EST. 1996 BOSWORTH BUGLE ISSUE 271 MARCH 2019 VOLUNTEERS DAZED BY FIND ly-tipping is literally a blot on the landscape and, as we’ve noted Fin the past, Bosworth is not immune to this blight. On a number of occasions in the past Mill Lane, especially, has found favour with the socially irresponsible who don’t feel the need to take their scrap or redundant rubbish to the tip. So, it wasn’t too much of a surprise when the Millennium Woodland work party turned up to carry out maintenance at the community woodland last month to find a van-load of waste and packaging dumped in the car parking area. Certainly, on the face of it this particular deposit was a lot less obnoxious than the rotting food waste, presumably from a failed freezer, that had been dumped a while back... This waste was dry and there was a lot of cardboard and packaging so it was a simple job to build a bonfire to dispose of it. That was until it suddenly became evident that the contents of the sealed packages, thought to be simple garden waste, were in fact a little more suspicious - the residue of a cannabis factory. Not your usual rubbish! In this instance the police felt that there was insufficient evidence to pursue the matter further and it was left to the woodland volunteers to arrange disposal. So, as you go about your business, especially in more remote areas, please keep an eye out for any suspicious activity. If you come across any criminal activity in progress don’t attempt to intervene but phone the police on 999 as soon as it is possible.

  • Neighbourhood Plan, Appendix 4, Affordable
    Wdqwqweqw LeireLeire Parish Parish AffordableAffordable Housing Housing for for sale Sale assessment Assessment NovemberFebruary 2019 2020 [DOCUMENT SUBTITLE] GARY KIRK Affordable housing for sale [COMPANY NAME] | [Company address] Purpose This report provides an assessment of the need for affordable housing for sale in the Parish of Leire within the Harborough District of Leicestershire. Affordable housing is not merely cheaper housing, but planning terminology meaning those forms of housing tenure that fall within the definition of Affordable Housing set out in the current National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), namely: social rent, affordable rent, affordable private rent and forms of affordable housing designed to offer affordable routes to home ownership. This will help to inform the emerging Neighbourhood Plan in relation to the opportunities to both identify the need for affordable housing for sale and to see how the Neighbourhood Plan can address the issue. Context According to the latest annual Halifax Rural Housing Review (Halifax, 2017), homes in rural areas across Great Britain are 20% more expensive on average than in urban areas. In financial terms, this percentage equates to £44,454. However, regionally, these figures increase or decrease dramatically depending on the locality. For example, the West Midlands is the region that commands the highest rural premium across Great Britain. Here, the average house price in rural areas is 47%, or £89,272 higher than the region’s urban areas, and in contrast, the East of England has the lowest rural housing premium of 9% or £27,765. Data from the review shows that first time buyers have more or less found themselves priced out of rural areas.

  • LEIRE Local Government Carol Cambers (2014)
    VCH Leicestershire Draft text Leire: Local Government VCH Leicestershire draft text LEIRE Local Government Carol Cambers (2014) Manor Courts The earliest court rolls to survive are from 1462.1 These recorded that the village stocks were to be repaired and that the lord had custody of a stray animal worth 2d. A court baron of 1585 determined that the smithy house, arable and meadow land were part of the lord’s holding, as were two leys that had been held by the town constable.2 Manor courts continued to be held until at least 1615, but no records survive after that date.3 Constables Originally a manorial office, constables’ accounts between 1806 and 1843 have survived and show the usual range of responsibilities.4 These include payments for the destruction of vermin, organising juries for coroners’ inquests, maintaining the stocks, the pinfold and the wash-pit, giving money to sailors and others with a pass, who were travelling through the parish and ensuring the militia men were sworn in. The stocks were removed in 1813.5 The constables also collected information for the censuses between 1801 and 1821. Churchwardens The earliest named churchwardens were Peter Gallard and Thomas Ince in 1559.6 Accounts survive from 1718 and show that, in addition to the maintenance and repair of the church and its bells, the churchwardens were responsible for meeting costs incurred during visitations, bell-ringers’ fees, travel expenses to attend upon the patron or the bishop and payments for killing two hedgehogs.7 In 1746 the churchwardens paid for a copy of the act to prevent the spread of distemper among horned cattle.

  • LEIRE Sites and Buildings Carol Cambers (2014)
    VCH Leicestershire Draft text Leire: Site and Buildings VCH Leicestershire draft text LEIRE Sites and Buildings Carol Cambers (2014) The manor house The manor appears to have been administered from Burbage from at least 1462, and its lords were prominent nationally and resident elsewhere. A possible manorial site has been identified north west of the church, where fishponds and a building platform have been recorded.1 The rector recorded in 1706 that the Earl of Kent had a house in the parish,2 but that is the first documentary evidence that a manor house existed. A reference to a building of this name occurs in the Highway Book in 1809 when the ‘lane by the Manor House’ was cleaned.3 A thatched and timber-framed building of mostly 16th century post and truss construction north of the Queen’s Arms is known as the Old Manor but there is no evidence to suggest that this was a manor house.4 Domestic buildings The present village has a limited mixture of styles and periods. The last mud house in the village was on the site of Charnwood House and a row of thatched cottages stood along the roadside.5 Of several substantial brick former farmhouses distributed around the south half of the village, the earliest is Elms farm dating from the early 18th century, possibly with an earlier core. Glebe House has a datestone of 1793 in its frontage, but this is thought to date from when the farmhouse was extended.6 One of the older cottages is Rose Cottage, dating from the late 18th century, built of brick with a slate roof replacing the earlier thatch.7 The other surviving thatched cottage is on Little Lane and is of a similar age.
