Visit to Owlpen Manor Wednesday 15th September 2021 Join us for a summer outing to Owlpen, a Tudor Manor House of the Mander family, situated in a deep, secluded valley in the Stroud district of Gloucestershire. The Manor is surrounded by breath-taking terraced gardens. Owlpen has been described as ‘a remote and beautiful place from a bygone age’ and we are very fortunate to have the opportunity of this private visit for the Friends. Since the 1970’s, Owlpen has been owned by Sir Nicholas and Lady Mander and our tour will be undertaken by a member of the family, possibly by Sir Nicholas himself. Owlpen was sympathetically restored, in 1926, by the outstanding Cotswold Arts and Crafts architect, Norman Jewson. Hence, the house also boasts a famous collection of Arts and Crafts furniture and fittings, together with the Mander family portraits and collections. Practical details: Independent travel – approx. 50 minutes by car from Bath. Please advise if you can offer car spaces, or would need a lift. Arrive 10.45am for coffee/tea in the Cyder House Restaurant. 11.30am tour of House and Garden, followed by lunch (included in ticket price) and free time to further explore the gardens and visit the Church of the Holy Cross. Flexible leaving time around 3.00pm.

Stroud Labour Party
Gloucestershire County Council single member ward review Response from Stroud Constituency Labour Party Introduction On 30 November the Local Government Boundary Commission started its second period of consultation for a pattern of divisions for Gloucestershire. Between 30 November and 21 February the Commission is inviting comments on the division boundaries for GCC. Following the completion of its initial consultation, the Commission has proposed that the number of county councillors should be reduced from 63 to 53. The districts have provided the estimated numbers for the electorate in their areas in 2016; the total number for the county is 490,674 so that the average electorate per councillor would be 9258 (cf. 7431 in 2010). The main purpose of this note is to draw attention to the constraints imposed on proposals for a new pattern of divisions in Stroud district, which could lead to anomalies, particularly in ‘bolting together’ dissimilar district wards and parishes in order to meet purely numerical constraints. In it own words ‘the Commission aims to recommend a pattern of divisions that achieves good electoral equality, reflects community identities and interests and provides for effective and convenient local government. It will also seek to use strong, easily-identifiable boundaries. ‘Proposals should demonstrate how any pattern of divisions aids the provision of effective and convenient local government and why any deterioration in equality of representation or community identity should be accepted. Representations that are supported by evidence and argument will carry more weight with the Commission than those which merely assert a point of view.’ While a new pattern of ten county council divisions is suggested in this note, it is not regarded as definitive but does contain ways of avoiding some possible major anomalies.

Country Houses of the Cotswolds 9

At its most potent, it became a symbol of Edwardian nationalism, of the enduring values of ‘Old’ English civilisation itself, and of the unquestioned legiti- macy of a benevolent gentry class whose values were rooted in the land. This ideal was fostered from the start by Country Life, which was founded in 1897, and the magazine occupies a central place as a pioneer interpreter and forceful advocate of the Cotswold house and its landscape. Country Life Inspired by the dominant critique of William Morris, who urged the revival of vernacular styles, Country Life did much to discover and popularise the Cotswolds and to raise its fine houses to cult status. The first issues of the magazine featured tectural record. early manor houses, such as Chavenage, Chastleton, Stanway, Owlpen, Burford Priory, Cold Ashton Manor, and Daneway, Cotswold landscape some of them houses little known at that time, which The Cotswolds have never been a political or administrative reflected the emphasis of Edwardian taste on the Arcadian territory. They are geophysical: a chain of limestone hills setting, the authentic surface, and the unrestored slanting obliquely from north east to south west, on average ‘Tudorbethan’ interior. Under the influence of architects such some twenty miles wide. Today it is generally accepted that as Norman Shaw, Philip Webb and later Sir Edwin Lutyens, the Cotswolds extend fifty odd miles from the mound of the appeal broadened to include the Georgian vernacular of Meon Hill by Chipping Campden, in the north, to Lansdown houses such as Nether Lypiatt and Lyegrove.

The Arts & Crafts Movement
The Arts & Crafts Movement The craft revival was started in the 1850’s by a group of Oxford University students, known as The Birmingham Set, led by William Morris and Edward Burne‐Jones. Although originally apolitical, the group rapidly became politicised against the “barbarity of contemporary culture” and pursued literary and artistic activities to "wage Holy warfare against the age". They were heavily influenced by the romantic works of Tennyson, Keats and Shelley; later, by the writings of Ruskin and the mediaevalist writings of Mallory’s Morte d'Arthur. Members of the group took up careers as painters, writers, designers, architects and, later, as craftsmen in wood and other materials. In 1861 Morris and some friends founded a company, Morris Marshall Faulkner & Co (later Morris & Co), which designed and made decorative objects for homes, including wallpaper, textiles, furniture and stained glass. In 1891 Morris established the Kelmscott Press, for which he designed a typeface based on 15th‐century letterforms. The press printed fine and de‐luxe editions of contemporary and historical English literature. Morris's ideas spread during the late 19th and early 20th centuries resulting in the establishment of many associations and craft communities, although Morris was not involved because of his preoccupation with promoting socialism. A hundred and thirty Arts and Crafts organisations were formed in Britain between 1895 and 1905. The Arts and Crafts Movement started in the 1880s, and the Art Workers Guild was formed in 1884. In 1885, the Birmingham School of Art, the first Municipal School of Art, became a leading centre for the Arts and Crafts movement.

Village News – May 2017
Page 2 A May Letter from Canon Michael May is possibly my favourite month of the year. Spring has definitely arrived and there is a suggestion of summer on the horizon. I always feel that my garden looks its best in May when the early blossom has given way to the blossom on the fruit trees with their sugges- tion of the fruit that will come later in the year; that sense of anticipation in the air. This year May is a very significant month for our family as our daughter’s wedding takes place at the end of the month. The sense of anticipation has certainly been mounting although thankfully, with just a year between engagement and wedding day, our lives haven’t been too dominated by ‘wedding talk’! Our daughter is getting married in York, where she and her fiancé met, and in the church that they belong to. We worked out that under the Qualifying Connection rules of the Church of England she actually had the choice of more than a dozen possible churches where the wedding could have taken place. These rules have made it much easier for couples to find a church to be married in and it is good to see that church weddings are still a popular choice. This year, between the three churches of St Giles Uley, Holy Cross Owlpen and St Bart- holomew’s Nympsfield, we have 11 weddings booked. The regular members of our churches enjoy seeing the wedding couples in church and getting to know them a little. As a priest it is a real privilege to share something of a couples journey to marriage and, of course, to conduct the service on ‘the big day’.
