The entry for Dursley and Berkeley, which also covered Cambridge, Uley and Newport, gave a comprehensive listing of the many trades people in the area together with a good gazetteer of what the town was like at that time. The entry for Dursley and Berkeley is found on pages 105-116. This transcription was carried out by Andrew Barton of Dursley in 2005. All punctuation and spelling of the original is retained. In addition the basic layout of the original work has been kept, although page breaks are likely to have fallen in different places.

  • Conserving the Painswick Valley's Rare Butterflies Project Update June 2013
    CONSERVING THE PAINSWICK VALLEY’S RARE BUTTERFLIES PROJECT UPDATE JUNE 2013 Project Summary Conserving the Painswick Valley’s rare butterflies aims to restore and maintain the limestone grassland areas to help re-establish functioning metapopulations of both Large Blue and Duke of Burgundy butterflies involving 11 sites. The project will address the major conservation challenge of managing habitat for two species at opposite ends of the successional spectrum of habitat in the same landscape. The project secured 18 months funding from the BIFFA Trust and started in October 2012. The management and grazing on the project sites will be carefully targeted using the results of habitat assess- ments, Large Blue and Duke of Burgundy monitoring and Ant surveys. Each site manager and or owner receives detailed advice on where to target the scrub management with a tailored grazing regime according to the live- stock used by their grazier. Project Achievements The volunteer element of the project has continued since October 2012. Work delivered through contractors commenced in January 2013 with some weed control planned for summer 2013. The following is a summary of what the project has achieved so far: Conservation days • An amazing total of 39 volunteer days involving scrub management and clearance over nine sites • Involved 363 individuals who have worked approximately 1568 hours in total Volunteer groups involved in the above include; Butterfly Conservation Gloucestershire Branch volunteers, Cirencester College Students, Cotswolds Wardens volunteers, Cranham Common volunteers (mainly residents) , Gloucestershire Probation Trust cli- ents, Gloucestershire Vale Conservation Volunteers. Hartpury College students, Local residents and volunteers as well as a local mountain bike group, Painswick volunteer group and Stroud Valleys Project volunteers.
