Leverington House Peatlings Lane | Wisbech | Cambridgeshire | PE13 1PS HISTORIC GEM Leverington House Peatlings Lane | Wisbech | Cambridgeshire | PE13 1PS HISTORIC GEM Leverington House is a fabulously unique family home that combines the charms of the Georgian and Victorian eras with the more modern architecture at the back. It is full of original features and bursting with character, both inside and out. Sitting centrally within landscaped gardens and grounds, and surrounded by mature trees that, unusually, includes a Giant Redwood, the house feels very secluded and private. However, less than a mile away you have the thriving Georgian market town of Wisbech, which easily fulfils you every day needs, as well as having reputable primary and secondary schools including the highly sought after Wisbech Grammar School. • An Impressive Grade II Listed House located in the pretty village of Leverington • Beautiful Period Features found throughout • Sitting Room, Dining Room, Snug and Study • Spacious Kitchen/Breakfast Room plus Utility Room • 4 Bedrooms with En-suite to Master plus Family Bathroom • Basement Level with 2 Basement Rooms, Good Storage Spaces and Utility Room • Garden is Mainly Laid to Lawn with a Variety of Trees and Barbeque Area • The Accommodation extends to 4,394sq.ft A Journey Through Time This home is a wonderful amalgamation of architectural design. From the expansive hallway you can literally take a stroll through the different eras and enjoy the distinguishing features that defined these periods. The Georgian dining room boasts ornate wood panelled walls, high ceilings and a beautiful marble fireplace with original tiled surround. In here, the light streams in through a pair of full height, arched, stone windows, as well as a glazed arched doorway that leads out to the garden. The room was originally part of an old church that was literally lifted and added to the house, giving from the outside a definite gothic feel to this quarter, with castellated ramparts along the roofline. Moving down the hallway you enter the Victorian era, where the large sitting room is graced with a wonderful coved ceiling, and big windows that still have their original shutters in place. Finally, up a few steps at the back of the house, is the newest addition to this fabulous home, an enormous modern but sympathetically styled kitchen/breakfast room. The Heart of The Home The kitchen is an amazing room. Built onto the rear of the house and with an elevated position, the big bay windows offer sweeping views out across the garden, ideal for keeping an eye on young children at play. The bespoke units are hand-made, and the curved hardwood work surfaces offer plenty of space for anyone with culinary ambition. It is a wonderfully generous room with space for a large kitchen table, and makes for a very social room perfect for a family. Leading down from the kitchen you also have the snug which, with its gas log-burner, is a cosy retreat, especially during the winter months, as well as a large, fully equipped utility that then leads out to the garden. Upstairs Downstairs A further set of steps takes you into the expansive basement that incorporates a large wine cellar, and has endless opportunities for a multitude of uses such as a gym, a workshop, teenage den or a ‘man cave’. These cellar rooms run under whole of the house, and are again a mix of the different styles. You discover Victorian flagstone floors as well as Georgian panelling, and, rather excitingly, there is supposed to be a hidden tunnel that leads to the village church. Back in the entrance hallway a beautiful Georgian staircase leads up to the first floor where you find the first of the four large double bedrooms, and then up again to the remaining bedrooms and the master suite. In here a huge bay window allows natural light to stream in, and the views out across the garden are spectacular. Having a Wild Time The grounds have been beautifully landscaped creating the perfect outside space to appreciate nature, as some areas have been left to grow wild where several bumble bee colonies have developed, as well as attracting a huge variety of birds and regularly visiting animals. Close to the house, planted borders provide vibrancy and colour throughout the year, and the large lawns are bordered by a mix of mature trees including oak, ash, beech, walnut and a variety of fruit trees that give a frothy display in Spring. You enter into the property via a wooden five bar gate and are immediately greeted by the sight of a giant Redwood tree, with the boundary of the property incredibly secluded by large specimen trees of all different varieties. A large shingle driveway extends across the front of the property and towards the rear you then have block steps taking you towards the car port. There is a quiet walled part of the garden which is paved and has a built-in barbecue area, perfect for summer dining, and to the rear, the old vegetable plot is ripe for resurrection. The garden is predominately laid to lawn but has very attractive, well stocked beds with shrubs and perennials. The rear part of the garden is fenced off to encourage wildlife into the wild flower meadow.

  • Just As the Priests Have Their Wives”: Priests and Concubines in England, 1375-1549
    “JUST AS THE PRIESTS HAVE THEIR WIVES”: PRIESTS AND CONCUBINES IN ENGLAND, 1375-1549 Janelle Werner A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Advisor: Professor Judith M. Bennett Reader: Professor Stanley Chojnacki Reader: Professor Barbara J. Harris Reader: Cynthia B. Herrup Reader: Brett Whalen © 2009 Janelle Werner ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT JANELLE WERNER: “Just As the Priests Have Their Wives”: Priests and Concubines in England, 1375-1549 (Under the direction of Judith M. Bennett) This project – the first in-depth analysis of clerical concubinage in medieval England – examines cultural perceptions of clerical sexual misbehavior as well as the lived experiences of priests, concubines, and their children. Although much has been written on the imposition of priestly celibacy during the Gregorian Reform and on its rejection during the Reformation, the history of clerical concubinage between these two watersheds has remained largely unstudied. My analysis is based primarily on archival records from Hereford, a diocese in the West Midlands that incorporated both English- and Welsh-speaking parishes and combines the quantitative analysis of documentary evidence with a close reading of pastoral and popular literature. Drawing on an episcopal visitation from 1397, the act books of the consistory court, and bishops’ registers, I argue that clerical concubinage occurred as frequently in England as elsewhere in late medieval Europe and that priests and their concubines were, to some extent, socially and culturally accepted in late medieval England.

    RE-EVALUATING MAPS OF DOMESDAY POPULATION DENSITIES: A case study from the Cambridgeshire fenland By SUSAN OOSTHUIZEN Abstract Professor Sir Clifford Darby’s county, regional and national maps of a range of data drawn from the Domesday Book revolutionized scholarship on the social and economic history of late Anglo-Saxon England (e.g. 1935, 1936a, 1936b, 1971, 1977). While this paper does not seek to challenge Darby’s general conclusions, a case study re-examination of the inter-relationship between population density and physical geography in the Cambridgeshire fenland in 1086 suggests the regional usefulness of methodological adjustments to his mapping. It indicates that the population density of the peat and silt fens in the late eleventh century may have been significantly higher than that shown in Darby’s original maps, with implications for the contemporary social and economic history of eastern England. Introduction The magnificence of many fenland churches allows even a complete stranger to infer the large numbers of inhabitants in and general prosperity of the region during the middle ages (Illustration 1, Figure 1). Its affluence is confirmed in the lay subsidies of 1327, 1332 and 1334. Settlements on the silt fens (for which there is the most information) were so prosperous that they generated among the highest returns per square mile and per vill in England, as well as some of the highest rates per taxpayer (Campbell and Bartley 2006: Maps 18.3, 18.13). Although only 20% of English settlements paid more than £225 in 1334, that select group includes not only Ely (paying £358), Leverington (paying £360), and Wisbech (paying £410) but almost every other silt fen vill (Glasscock 1973: 181-3; 1975: 28, 107, 168-9).

  • Review of Secondary School Provision in the Fenland District
    REVIEW OF SECONDARY SCHOOL PROVISION IN THE FENLAND DISTRICT PROPOSAL FOR A NEW SECONDARY SCHOOL IN WISBECH BACKGROUND CONSULTATION DOCUMENT 1 PURPOSE The purpose of this document is to: • Draw attention to the rising number of primary aged pupils across Fenland, the impact of proposed new housing and the resultant pressure to provide additional places in secondary schools in the District. • Outline the conclusions of the Council’s review of secondary school provision in Fenland and its recommendations in respect of each of the four market towns within the District; Wisbech, Chatteris, March and Whittlesey. • Seek, in principle support for the proposal to provide a new secondary school in Wisbech in response to the forecast demand for places and expand provision in March, Chatteris and Whittlesey when required. • Obtain the views of parents and the local community on the Council’s early site search work, which identified the site of the former College of West Anglia (CWA) horticultural and equine facility adjacent to Meadowgate School, as having the potential to be developed for a secondary school (location plan included). OR • For respondents to identify and consider whether there are any alternative sites within Wisbech that may provide a better site for a secondary school and which the Council should consider 1 2. BACKGROUND Demography There are four secondary schools in Fenland: Neale-Wade Academy (March), Thomas Clarkson Academy (Wisbech), Sir Harry Smith Community College (Whittlesey) and Cromwell Community College (Chatteris). There is a distance of between 6-13 miles separating each school (measured in a straight line). A review of secondary school provision in Fenland was undertaken in response to: • demographic change (the population of the District has grown by 13.9% to 95,300 since 2001) • rising pupil numbers in the primary schools and • the proposed levels of housing development (11,000 homes across the District in the period up to 2031) included in the Fenland District Local Plan (2014).
