  • The Shield Name the Shield Family in Pamington, Ashchurch
    The Shield Name The Shield family have been living in Gloucestershire for at least 500 years. For a large part of that time the name Shield seems to have been interchangeable with the name Shill. The meaning of these names is unclear. In England the name Shield comes either from the occupational name for an armourer from the Middle English scheld meaning a shield, or from the Middle English schele meaning a hut, shed or shelter used by herdsmen as temporary accommodation in summer pastures. The name Shill, which seems to be peculiar to Gloucestershire, is unexplained. In Ireland the name Shield comes from the anglicised form of Ó Siadhail meaning a descendant of Siadhal . The name Shields, with the final ‘s’ is a habitational name for someone coming from North or South Shields in Northern England. The name Shield in Gloucestershire was also found with many alternative spellings. I have come across Shield, Sheild, Sheilde, Shelde, Sheyld, Shelyde, Shild, Shilde, Shyld and Shylde. There are rumours handed down in various branches of the family that the Shield family arrived in Gloucestershire from further north. In one case there is a story that two Shield brothers walked down from Scotland to Bristol. In another, the story is that a Shield farmer drove his cattle down from the north of England to Bristol for sale in the market, started to walk back, stopped in a pub and liked it so much that he used the money from the sale of the cattle to buy the pub and thus remained in Gloucestershire.

  • Little Sodbury Draft Version 1
    VCH Gloucestershire 14, Little Sodbury Draft Version 1 Little Sodbury Little Sodbury is a small rural parish which lies 36 km. (22 miles) south of Gloucester and 19 km. (12 miles) north-east of Bristol. As with its larger neighbour to the south, the landscape is heavily defined by the Cotswold Edge, which runs from north to south through the centre of the parish. The eastern half of the parish, lying above the escarpment, comprises rich arable land, in contrast with the low-lying pastoral landscape of the western half of the parish. The prehistoric hill fort which gives the Sodburys their name lies across the parish boundary with Old Sodbury, overlooking the substantial medieval manor house further down the escarpment. The ancient route called the Port Way, which follows the line of the Cotswold Edge, has carried traffic across the parish since prehistoric times. Despite its proximity to Chipping Sodbury and Yate, which have greatly expanded in the late 20th century, Little Sodbury remains entirely rural in character. Landscape, Settlement and Buildings Boundaries The ancient parish of Little Sodbury was estimated by Rudge to measure 900 a. in 1803,1 but the tithe commissioners found that the parish comprised 1,074 a. in 1839.2 In 1903 the parish was found to measure 1,093 a.3 The parish boundaries were depicted on the tithe award map of 1839,4 and by the Ordnance Survey in 1886.5 For much of their length the boundaries are defined by long established hedges that once separated the open fields and commons of the neighbouring parishes.

  • The Skidmore and Scudamore Families of Frampton Cotterell, Gloucestershire 1650-1915
    Skidmore (Scudamore) Families of Frampton Cotterell Linda Moffatt © 2015 THE SKIDMORE AND SCUDAMORE FAMILIES OF FRAMPTON COTTERELL, GLOUCESTERSHIRE 1650-1915 by Linda Moffatt © 2015 1st edition 2012, published at www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com 2nd edition 2015, published at www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com This is a work in progress. The author is pleased to be informed of errors and to receive additional information for consideration for future updates at [email protected] This file was last updated by Linda Moffatt on 8 March 2016. DATES Prior to 1752 the year began on 25 March (Lady Day). In order to avoid confusion, a date which in the modern calendar would be written 2 February 1714 is written 2 February 1713/4 - i.e. the baptism, marriage or burial occurred in the 3 months (January, February and the first 3 weeks of March) of 1713 which 'rolled over' into what in a modern calendar would be 1714. Civil registration was introduced in England and Wales in 1837 and records were archived quarterly; hence, for example, 'born in 1840Q1' the author here uses to mean that the birth took place in January, February or March of 1840. Where only a baptism date is given for an individual born after 1837, assume the birth was registered in the same quarter. BIRTHS, MARRIAGES AND DEATHS Databases of all known Skidmore and Scudamore bmds can be found at www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com PROBATE A list of all known Skidmore and Scudamore wills - many with full transcription or an abstract of its contents - can be found at www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com in the file Skidmore/Scudamore One-Name Study Probate.

  • Town-And-Parish-Council-Charter-2017
    A Charter between South Gloucestershire Council & Town and Parish Councils Town and Parish Councils Charter Introduction South Gloucestershire was established, following the reorganisation of local government, in 1995. From the outset there was an appreciation of the roles of Parish and Town Councils, and how they and the Unitary Authority should work together to best serve the people. The first version of this Charter was agreed, and adopted by the majority of local councils in 2002. The Charter is a framework for South Gloucestershire Council and the Town & Parish Councils (or Local Councils) to work in partnership in order to improve the well-being of the varied communities that make up South Gloucestershire. Through this Charter the respective councils agree to work in partnership whilst respecting each-other’s rights as separate democratic bodies. Town and Parish Councils are locally elected bodies which play an important role in the lives of communities. They are funded principally by an annual precept collected through the Council Tax on their behalf by South Gloucestershire. They have a wide range of powers, and many of their activities are interlinked with those of South Gloucestershire, and so by working in partnership more can be achieved than by each working alone. The South Gloucestershire Compact is an associated document which focuses on partnership working with the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector, and shares the same fundamental principles as the Charter. Indeed the Parish and Town Councils are all covered by the public sector commitments of the Compact. All Town and Parish Councils are invited to formally adopt the Charter as recognition of the relationship with South Gloucestershire, and also that this relationship is managed in accord with the Compact.
