  • October 2017 Issue 236
    OCTOBER 2017 ISSUE 236 ON THE EDGE Footpaths, Bridleways and Tracks There are over 9,500 public rights of way (PROWs) in Gloucestershire. Government cuts have resulted in a significant reduction in the capacity of the rights of way team to fulfil their obligations but the Gloucestershire County Council public rights of way team are responsible for: • providing information about the routes of public paths, • recording PROWs on the Definitive Map, • processing 'public path orders' and 'modification orders', • maintaining the surface of PROWs, • maintaining most bridges over natural watercourses, • roadside signposting and way-marking, • making sure that public paths are reasonably convenient for the public to use. Your rights of way include: • public footpaths, • public bridleways, • restricted byways, • Byways open to all traffic. Public footpaths can be used on foot only (with a pram, pushchair or wheelchair where it is practicable to do so *), with a dog under close control. Public bridleways also allow horse riders and cyclists (cyclists must give way to walkers and horse riders). Restricted byways can be used by any transport without a motor. * and mobility scooters and powered wheelchairs. Note: users may take an alternative route around an obstruction or remove enough of the obstruction to get past. Ordnance Survey maps show most public rights of way but may not be up to date. In the parish of North Nibley, as in most of England, public footpaths are way-marked with yellow arrows and bridleways with blue arrows. What may seem to be a single path may be made up of sections with different designations.

  • Introduction the Parish of North Nibley
    Introduction This Parish Plan was developed in response to the government’s proposal that rural communities should produce plans "to indicate how they would like their town or village to develop". It was suggested that funding decisions by the district and county councils should take account of these plans. A Survey Questionnaire was prepared and distributed to all households in the Parish, to which 63% responded. An additional questionnaire was included specifically for 7-18 year olds. Gloucestershire Rural Communities Council analysed the replies and the results were presented to the Annual Parish Meeting in 2009. The results were also made available to parishioners and Parish organisations. The results and additional feedback from Parish consultations, to which all residents were invited, were used by a volunteer Steering Group of North Nibley residents to assist them to develop this Plan. The plan identifies issues and concerns of parishioners highlighted through the Survey and consultation meetings. It provides a guide to future actions by the community, the Parish, District and County Councils and external agencies. The Parish of North Nibley North Nibley is an attractive village on the edge of the Cotswolds, located close to the river Severn between Bristol and Gloucester. Its name means a farm or settlement on a hilltop. The first record is in the register known as Cartularium Saxonicum in 940 AD as 'hnibban lege'. The village is famously associated with William Tyndale who translated much of the Bible into English. The Tyndale Monument, erected in 1866, is a conspicuous feature on the hill above the village. The Parish was also the scene of the last battle fought in England on 20th March 1469/70, between the private armies of Thomas, Lord Lisle and William, Lord Berkeley at Nibley Green with combined forces of more than 1,000 men.

  • Picks Mill, Road Green, North Nibley, GL11 6BA
    Picks Mill, Road Green, North Nibley, GL11 6BA Road Green, North Nibley, Dursley Picks Mill is a beautiful and spacious stone built former mill believed to date back in part to the 12th century. Situated in its own mature grounds, understood to be approaching 1.7 acres approx. set back from the road approached via a private tree lined driveway with Doverte Brook flanking the rear boundary. In addition to the five bedroomed main house, there is a separate charming detached stone cottage providing options for granny annexe, independent teenager or income from rental letting. This is the first time this property has come to the market in 30 years when the current owners acquired the property and they have carried out extensive renovations and improvements, however there is still tremendous potential on offer with basements rooms and outbuildings for conversion or inclusion into the living accommodation (subject to building regulations and approval). Located on the edge of North Nibley close to the Stinchcombe borders, the area is surrounded by scenic farmland forming part of an area of outstanding natural beauty. Although extremely private, the property is not isolated with the village of North Nibley being less than 1 mile approx. away. The gardens and grounds include a paddock area and natural landscaping forming a habitat for wildlife and a haven for birds which can be seen feeding from a balcony area to the rear. It is thought that the mill had stood on this site since the 12th century formerly known as Mundy Mill a wool mill then owned by Giles Pick in the 1870's when it was used as a grist mill.

  • Foxhunting and the Landscape Between 1700 and 1900; with Particular Reference to Norfolk and Shropshire
    Foxhunting and the landscape between 1700 and 1900; with particular reference to Norfolk and Shropshire Jane Bevan Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia School of History October 2011 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on the condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that no quotation from the thesis, nor any information derived from it, may be published without acknowledgement Abstract This thesis explores the history of foxhunting from 1700 to 1900. It examines how perceptions of an ideal hunting country, and what constituted an elite quarry, altered in tandem with alterations to the English lowland countryside. The relationship between the landscape and changes bought about by the upheaval of enclosure and agricultural development are discussed, in the context of the evolution in practice and geographical spread of foxhunting, at a national, regional and county-wide level. Several long-held beliefs are challenged. The social history of foxhunting and the increased participation of both ‘polite’ urban neophytes and prosperous tenant farmers during the two centuries is compared with the declining involvement of women. The impact of hunt clubs and the rise of subscription packs in the two study areas is contrasted. The influence of changes in the landscape on foxhunting is considered alongside the reciprocal impact of foxhunters manipulating the physical surroundings to enhance their sport. A detailed study of the history of hunting and its most iconic feature, the covert, in Norfolk and Shropshire highlights the importance of landowners control over the countryside.
