THE GREENWAY BENEFICE in the Severn Vale Deanery, Diocese of Gloucester: The parishes of Holy Trinity, Badgeworth St. Paul’s St . Mary the Virgin, Shurdington Witcombe with Bentham Our Benefice Profile January 2017 MAP SHOWING THE THREE CHURCHES Our Vacancy Prayer Heavenly Father, during this time we pray for a new vicar who is a person of prayer inspired by the Holy Spirit with a prophetic vision for God’s mission of our benefice churches. We welcome a priest unknown to us, whose pastoral heart will kindle God’s loving kind- ness amongst us, beyond us, and through us, as we reach out to those in need. We welcome a priest known to God, praying that the light of God’s love may grow in the hearts of the congregation and that its warmth may be felt in our communities transforming lives as the gospel of Christ breaks new boundaries. So we pray for our new vicar to be called to our churches and local communities, to be stirred by God during this time as we wait with patience and excitement. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 2 CONTENTS Map of the Benefice …….…………………… page 2 Our Vacancy Prayer ….……………………… page 2 Where we are and Our Vision …….………… page 5 Present development Plan ………………….. page 7 Benefice Structure ……….…….…………….. page 8 Present Pattern of Worship ……….………… page 9 Benefice-wide groups & organisations …….. page 10 Working with Children ….……….…….…….. page 12 The Parishes Badgeworth …………………….…………….. page 14 Shurdington ….………………….……………. page 16 Witcombe with Bentham ….…….….….……. page 18 The Vicarage ………….……….……….…….. page 20 The Area ….…….….….….….….….………… page 20 Website Links …….….….….…….….………. page 20 Appendix 1 - Person Specification…….….… page 21 Appendix 2 - Annual Report Finance……….. pages 22 -28 3 INTRODUCTION The Greenway Benefice, comprising Holy Trinity Church, Badgeworth, the Church of St Mary the Virgin, Witcombe with Bentham, and St Paul's Church, Shurdington, lies to the south-west of Cheltenham, close to J11A of the M5, with the A46 passing through Shurdington and the A417 dividing Witcombe and Bentham (See map). The Benefice takes its name from The Greenway, the ancient drovers' road by which the sheep of Saint Peter’s Abbey, now Gloucester Cathedral, were driven from their winter quarters at Badgeworth to their summer pastures at Coberly and Cowley on the escarpment. The track goes up the slopes of Shurdington Hill from the A46 opposite the junction with Badgeworth Lane to the edge of the Barrow Piece Plantation and on towards Ullenwood. Most of The Greenway lies in the Parish of Witcombe with Bentham, but its lower reaches are in what most people would naturally think of as Shurdington, whilst its north-westerly continuation is Badgeworth Lane. Ancient history is revealed in the fort and a number of iron age sites on Crickley Hill and the occupation of the Romans by part of the important Ermin Street from Cirencester to Gloucester and remains of villas. The limestone escarpment and its lower slopes form part of the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and land surrounding the villages is mainly Green Belt. As a result there has been little development in the Benefice in recent years, although this is looking to be changed in the near future to meet some of the county's present housing needs. The Benefice is within the Severn Vale Deanery, formed in 2009 from the former Gloucester North and most of Forest North, and is prayer linked with the Benefice of Westbury-on-Severn with Flaxley, Blaisdon and Minsterworth. The Deanery is within the Archdeaconry of Gloucester. There is a great variety of life in our parishes but a strong sense of unity and common purpose in the Benefice. Shared leadership is exercised by the Local Ministry Team and Benefice Council. 4 WHERE WE ARE AND OUR VISION Collected thoughts from members of congregations and parishes Our Thanksgiving for the past Building on solid foundations We are grateful for: We seek to maintain: our previous incumbents who a welcome for all, places of have been “people-people” rest, solace and refreshment and provided stability and and a centre of the community strong leadership; for all our villages; our churches being there for a full interpretation of the their communities; phrase “cure of souls”, fellowship and support during particularly appreciated in times of crisis; uplifting and personal funerals our variety of worship, music broad, middle-of-the-road and the Benefice Choir; churchmanship with a variety our church buildings and a of services; legacy of good maintenance; traditional services, especially involvement and interest of at Christmas; many parishioners, not all a variety of music and regular church-goers; musicians; the partnership with the links with the school; school; lay leadership; lay ministry; the ecumenical partnership of church-community events; Christians Together. growing unity – seen in benefice-wide groups, such as the Mothers' Union. 5 WHERE WE ARE AND OUR VISION cont’d Vision for the future, linking with LIFE, the Diocese's Vision, we seek: to maintain the traditional, but be open to the need for change so as to encourage new membership, particularly via the links with the Primary School; to develop outreach to the elderly, particularly provision for those with dementia, via the care homes; to enable young people to hear the Gospel and to find a place of faith to belong and then believe; to encourage belonging with local Baptismal families and wedding couples; to find and encourage good leadership in both ordained and lay; to find the energy and inspiration, the human and financial resources to both maintain and develop our ministry, particularly to be able to take the church to the people.

    In 1968. the Report Consists of the Following Parts: L the Northgate Turnpike Roads 2 Early Administration and the Turnpike Trust

    Reprinted from: Gloucestershire Society for Industrial Archaeology Journal for 1971 pages 1-58 [This edition was reprinted in 1987 by the Author in Hong Kong with corrections and revised pagination] THE NQRIH§AIE.IHBNBlKE N SPRY For more than one hundred and seventy years the road from the city of Gloucester to the top of Birdlip Hill, and the road which branched eastwards from it up Crickley Hill towards Oxford and later London, was maintained from the proceeds of the various turnpikes or toll gates along it. This report examines the history and administration of these roads from their earliest period to the demise of the Turnpike Trust in l87l and also details excavations across the road at Wotton undertaken in 1968. The report consists of the following Parts: l The Northgate Turnpike roads 2 Early administration and the Turnpike Trust 3 Tolls, exemptions and traffic 4 Road materials 5 Excavations at Wotton 1968 I Summary II The Excavations III Discussion References 1 IHE.NQBIH§AIE.BQADfi The road to Gloucester from Cirencester and the east is a section of the Roman road known as Ermine Street. The line of this road from Brockworth to Wotton has been considered to indicate a Severn crossing at Kingsholm one Km north of Gloucester, where, as late as the seventeenth century, a major branch of the river flowed slightly west of modern Kingsholm. The extent of early Roman archaeological material from Kingsholm makes it likely to have been a military site early in the Roman period. (l) Between Wotton Hill and Kingsholm this presumed line is lost; the road possibly passed through the grounds of Hillfield House and along the ridge, now marked by Denmark Road, towards the river.

    Communications Roads Cheltenham Lies on Routes Connecting the Upper Severn Vale with the Cotswolds to the East and Midlands to the North

    DRAFT – VCH Gloucestershire 15 [Cheltenham] Communications Roads Cheltenham lies on routes connecting the upper Severn Vale with the Cotswolds to the east and Midlands to the north. Several major ancient routes passed nearby, including the Fosse Way, White Way and Salt Way, and the town was linked into this important network of roads by more local, minor routes. Cheltenham may have been joined to the Salt Way running from Droitwich to Lechlade1 by Saleweistrete,2 or by the old coach road to London, the Cheltenham end of which was known as Greenway Lane;3 the White Way running north from Cirencester passed through Sandford.4 The medieval settlement of Cheltenham was largely ranged along a single high street running south-east and north-west, with its church and manorial complex adjacent to the south, and burgage plots (some still traceable in modern boundaries) running back from both frontages.5 Documents produced in the course of administering the liberty of Cheltenham refer to the via regis, the king’s highway, which is likely to be a reference to this public road running through the liberty. 6 Other forms include ‘the royal way at Herstret’ and ‘the royal way in the way of Cheltenham’ (in via de Cheltenham). Infringements recorded upon the via regis included digging and ploughing, obstruction with timbers and dungheaps, the growth of trees and building of houses.7 The most important local roads were those running from Cheltenham to Gloucester, and Cheltenham to Winchcombe, where the liberty administrators were frequently engaged in defending their lords’ rights. Leland described the roads around Cheltenham, Gloucester and Tewkesbury as ‘subject to al sodeyne risings of Syverne, so that aftar reignes it is very foule to 1 W.S.

    STRATEGY, MISSION AND PEOPLE IN A RURAL DIOCESE A CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF THE DIOCESE OF GLOUCESTER 1863-1923 BRIAN KNIGHT A thesis submitted to the University of Gloucestershire in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities August, 2002 11 Strategy, Mission and People in a Rural Diocese A critical examination of the Diocese of Gloucester 1863-1923 Abstract A study of the relationship between the people of Gloucestershire and the Church of England diocese of Gloucester under two bishops, Charles John Ellicott and Edgar Charles Sumner Gibson who presided over a mainly rural diocese, predominantly of small parishes with populations under 2,000. Drawing largely on reports and statistics from individual parishes, the study recalls an era in which the class structure was a dominant factor. The framework of the diocese, with its small villages, many of them presided over by a squire, helped to perpetuate a quasi-feudal system which made sharp distinctions between leaders and led. It is shown how for most of this period Church leaders deliberately chose to ally themselves with the power and influence of the wealthy and cultured levels of society and ostensibly to further their interests. The consequence was that they failed to understand and alienated a large proportion of the lower orders, who were effectively excluded from any involvement in the Church's affairs. Both bishops over-estimated the influence of the Church on the general population but with the twentieth century came the realisation that the working man and women of all classes had qualities which could be adapted to the Church's service and a wider lay involvement was strongly encouraged.

In that report, we stated that we had made no proposals to deal with the electoral conseguences of the proposed boundary changes, and that our final proposals for consequential changes to electoral arrangements would be the subject of a separate report. In view of the nature and extent of the electoral consequences, we decided that they ought to be advertised separately in order to give local authorities and residents affected by them a full opportunity to comment. 3. In your Department's letter of 13 June 1989, we were informed of the then Minister for Local Government's decision, on behalf of the Secretary of State, to modify the proposals made in our Report No 547.
