The Evaluation of Bedfordshire Burial Registration, L538-L851
The evaluation of Bedfordshire burial registration, L538-L851 Peter Razzell, Christine Spence and Matthew Woollard Abstract This article is based mainly on a digital transcript of burials for 126 Bedfordshire parishes 7538-7851, and a county index of wills for the same period. The comparison of probate with burial register data indicated that there uas little long-term change oaer time in burial tmder-registratiott, with between 21 and 27 per cent of utill entries missing in the registers. There was also little aariation between parishes of dffirent population sizes, suggesting that burial tmder-registratiot'L was predominantly a random process linked to clerical negligence. A comparison of 1841 and L851 census data, linked to the Bedfordshire burial database, reaealed thnt missing burials amongst married couples was 29 per cent, similar to that found in the probatelburial register comparison in the 1840s. These findings on the adequacy of burial registers -saggesf thnt similar resesrch on others counties will be necessary in order to establish reliable conclusions about England's population history. Introduction One of the major issues of historical demography has been the reliability of Anglican parish registers and its relationship to English population history in the period 1538-1850.1 Assumptions about the reliability of registers have had a major effect on the interpretation of population change, and this has had a significant impact on the debate about the nature of population growth during the 'parish register period'. Much of the uncertainty about demographic change is due to the inflation factors used for the correction of missing births and deaths in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

Langford GI Plan, Will Be Used by the Authority in Considering Development Proposals and Assisting with the Creation of Green Infrastructure Assets
Langford Green Infrastructure Plan April 2011 Langford Parish Council LANGFORD’S GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN Introduction: Langford’s Green Infrastructure (GI) Plan is part of a programme of 19 parish and town GI plans across the area funded by Central Bedfordshire Council and facilitated by Bedfordshire Rural Communities Charity, the Greensand Trust and the Marston Vale Trust. BRCC was asked by Central Bedfordshire Council to assist in the production of the GI plans as it is a charity that works with local communities and landowners to conserve and enhance the landscape, wildlife and history in this area. At the heart of BRCC’s work is the belief that the best results are achieved by empowering local communities, giving them a say in issues that affect them. BRCC has over 50 years experience of community development support and facilitating community consultation; and has nearly 20 years experience of planning and delivering green infrastructure projects in east Bedfordshire. What the plan shows The community green infrastructure plan shows information about the existing environment, and identifies aspiration and proposals from community members to enhance the local green infrastructure. These aspirations and proposals include priorities to maintain existing assets, enhance or restore existing assets, and create new green infrastructure. The information is shown on a map, which identifies both existing green infrastructure, and aspirations for improving the green infrastructure network. The plan as a whole is based on a robust approach to making and implementing a high quality green infrastructure network for the existing and future residents of Langford. It should be acknowledged that not all of the aspirations identified will be delivered, because there are many other influencing factors, such as the views of landowners, existing planning permissions and allocations, potential future land use allocations and the cost of enhancements.

O&H control land allocated for development under Policy MA3 of the Central Bedfordshire (North): Site Allocations Document Plan Document (April 2011) (Site Allocations DPD) and have a promotional agreement in respect of Land South of Wixams, which is subject to an outline planning application (reference CB/17/02575/OUT). This representation relates to the Policy MA3 land. Separate submissions – made jointly with Old Road Securities – address Land South of Wixams. Terminology Land allocated under adopted Policy MA3 is referred to in the Site Allocations DPD as ‘Land south of Wixams’. The land south of MA3 was proposed to be allocated under the (now withdrawn) Central Bedfordshire Development Strategy and was identified as draft Policy 63. The emerging Local Plan now uses the name ‘Land South of Wixams’ in relation to the draft Policy 63 land. We recommend that a clearer naming convention is utilised for the next stage of plan-making. For the purpose of this representation, we use ‘Policy MA3 land’ to refer to O&H’s landholding immediately south of Wixams.

Bedfordshire People Past and Present
Bedfordshire People Past and Present 1 Bedfordshire People Past and Present This is just a selection of some of the notable people associated with Bedfordshire. Bedfordshire Borough and Central Bedfordshire libraries offer a wealth of resources, for more detailed information see the Virtual Library: www.bedford.gov.uk or www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk Click on Libraries Click on Local and Family History Click on People The Local Studies section at Bedford Central Library also holds an archive of newspaper cuttings, biography files, an obituary index, local periodicals and books, including A Bedfordshire Bibliography by L.R. Conisbee, which has a large biography section. 2 Bedfordshire People Past Offa (? -796 BC) King Offa, regarded as one of the most powerful kings in early Anglo-Saxon England, ruled for 39 years from 757 to his death in 796. It is traditionally believed that he was buried in Bedford, somewhere near Batts Ford. Falkes De Breaute (1180-1225) A French soldier and adventurer, Falkes's loyalty to King John was rewarded with a number of titles. The king also gave him Bedford Castle, which Falkes held until 1224 when it was besieged and demolished by King Henry III. Falkes escaped and fled to the continent but died on route from food poisoning. Queen Eleanor (1244-1290) The sad death of Queen Eleanor links her to Dunstable. She died in Lincolnshire and King Edward 1st – her husband – wanted her to be buried in Westminster, thus the body was taken back to London and passed through Dunstable. The king ordered memorial crosses to be erected at every place the funeral cortege stopped overnight.

Toddington NP SEA Determination Letter
Clerk to Langford Parish Council Your ref: 75 Wilsheres Road Biggleswade Our ref: LANG/SEA/20 BEDS SG18 0DN Date: 15/01/2020 Dear Ms. Albone SEA Screening Determination of Langford Neighbourhood Plan In accordance with Regulation 9 of the SEA Regulations 2004, Central Bedfordshire Council, as the responsible authority, has determined on 15th December 2020 that a strategic environmental assessment (SEA) of the emerging Langford Neighbourhood Plan is not required as it is unlikely to have significant environmental effects. As part of this SEA screening, Habitat Regulations screening was undertaken because plans that are likely to have significant impact on European Sites require a Strategic Environmental Assessment in addition to an Appropriate Assessment (Habitat Regulation Assessment). This screening concluded that the Langford NP is unlikely to have significant impact on European sites and therefore the Langford NP does not require a full HRA to be undertaken. In making this determination, the Council has had regard to Schedule 1 of the Regulations and has carried out consultation with the statutory consultation bodies. An assessment against Schedule 1 of the Regulations and comments made by the consultation bodies are set out in the attached SEA Screening Determination Statement. The above determination was made based on information provided by Langford Parish Council on the content of the emerging Plan, in this instance: the draft Langford Neighbourhood Plan submitted to the Council on 28th October 2019. Should the content of the Final Submission Plan be revised and/or there is a material change in the environmental characteristics in the locality (e.g. any new or any changes to nature conservation designations), then the screening process will have to be reviewed and determination reconsidered to take account of the changes.
