  • Topic Paper – Settlement Hierarchy Review
    Working Together Babergh and Mid Suffolk Joint Local Plan Regulation 18 Consultation Topic Paper – Settlement Hierarchy Review July 2019 1. Introduction 1.1 This Topic Paper accompanies the Settlement Hierarchy section of the Babergh and Mid Suffolk Joint Draft Local Plan (July 2019). 1.2 The purpose of this Topic Paper is to present additional detail and context behind the new Settlement Hierarchy as proposed by the Joint Local Plan. 1.3 As part of the preparation of the new Joint Local Plan for Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Councils, a review of the settlement hierarchy was carried out to reflect changes that have occurred over recent years and to ensure that the settlements are appropriately categorised in relation to the services and facilities they provide. 1.4 This study collates information on the services and facilities availability of villages in both districts. Comments received during the Joint Local Plan consultation (August – November 2017) have been considered in the production of this Topic Paper and the resulting Settlement Hierarchy in the Babergh and Mid Suffolk Joint Local Plan. 1.5 Babergh and Mid Suffolk currently have different settlement hierarchies as set out in the Babergh Core Strategy (2014) and Mid Suffolk Core Strategy (2008). The Joint Local Plan seeks to provide a single hierarchy across both Districts, and this Topic Paper classifies ‘Core Villages’, ‘Hinterland Villages’ and ‘Hamlets’. The classification is based on the availability of, or access to, facilities and services, to indicate their relative sustainability as locations for development. Settlements that do not have ten or more well related dwellings have not been identified in the settlement hierarchy.

  • The Reduced Population and Wealth of Early Fifteenth
    THE REDUCED POPULATION AND WEALTH OF EARLY FIFTEENTH-CENTURY SUFFOLK by DAVID DYMOND, M.A., F.S.A. and ROGER VIRGOE, PH.D., F.R.HIST.S. IN THE SESSION of Parliament which met between 27 January and 25 March 1428, the Council governing England during Henry VI's minority asked for subsidies to pay for the continuing war in France and for the safe-keeping of the sea. In response the Commons made three grants.' The first was of tunnage and poundage for a year; the second a grant of 6s. 8d. per knight' s fee, a traditional and by now obsolescent feudal aid; the third was a novel, if not quite unprecedented, tax levied on parishes and not, like the normal fifteenth and tenth, on townships.' The last of these grants is the most interesting. Payment had to be made by each rural parish which had ten households or more. If the living of the church was assessed for clerical taxes at less than ten marks, householders were to pay half a mark (6s. 8d.); if it was assessed at ten marks or more, they were to pay at the rate of one mark (13s. 4d.) for each ten marks' valuation. In boroughs the householders of each parish were to pay at the rate of 2s. for every £1 in the valuation of the living. Those parishes which contained fewer than ten households were exempt from payment. It is not the purpose of this paper to examine the reasons for this peculiar hybrid tax, which was not repeated.' For the local historian the most interesting information in the returns is the listing of exempt parishes with small populations.

  • Near Little Finborough Church 1 Battisford Village Hall Management Committee
    November 2016 Near Little Finborough Church 1 Battisford Village Hall Management Committee Anyone who uses the Village Hall on a regular basis will notice that, yet again, during the summer break there have been more changes and improvements to the hall. Stan Winter with help from John Thornton has worked his usual magic and we are now proud owners of a brand new kitchen. Stan had nurtured the old one (which was second hand when he originally fitted it) and the time had come when drawers and door fronts were beyond repair. There have also been improvements to the Committee Room providing the Pre-school with a much more permanent storage arrangement. The next project in the upkeep of the hall is to look at the floor, most of which is the original school floor that undergoes continu- al maintenance to keep it looking good. Also in some places it seems to have a bit more spring than it should have. This will be a major job and will need some serious fund raising to complete. Hopefully you have seen the Christmas Ball advertised with which we are hoping to kick start fundraising for the floor. The event is being held at Ringshall Village Hall (purely because we needed a bit more room for dancing) on the 26th November. Look out for the poster further on in the magazine which contains more details of the event. It would be great to see you there. BATTISFORD VILLAGE HALL LISTINGS Monday – Friday during term time Pre-School morning sessions, lunch clubs and afternoon session.
