  • Leicestershire Sustainable Community Strategy
    LEICESTERSHIRE SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY STRATEGY FINAL DRAFT MARCH 2008 1 Introduction I am pleased to present our Sustainable Community Strategy to you on behalf of Leicestershire Together, the Local Strategic Partnership for Leicestershire. Leicestershire Together includes all of the organisations and partnerships that deliver public services in Leicestershire, and we seek to improve the quality of life and of public services in the County. This draft Sustainable Community Strategy proposes priorities for improvement in Leicestershire over the next 5 years. These are largely based upon two draft evidence base reports ‘This is Leicestershire’ and ‘Places in Leicestershire’. The structure of the new Sustainable Community Strategy is quite different to that of the previous Community Strategy in that it focuses on what we are going to do rather than how we are going to do it. Our second Local Area Agreement (LAA2) is the key delivery framework for the strategy (the ‘how’ bit) – and more details on the LAA can be found later in this document. The challenge that faces us now is to deliver the ambitions outlined in this Strategy, making a real and measurable difference to the lives of Leicestershire people. David Parsons Chair, Leicestershire Together Contact details: Telephone: 0116 305 6977/8137 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.leicestershiretogether.org Write to us: Policy Team, Chief Executives Department, Leicestershire County Council, County Hall, Glenfield, Leicestershire LE3 8RA 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Leicestershire Together Leicestershire Together is the Local Strategic Partnership for Leicestershire and includes all of the organisations and partnerships that deliver public services in the County.

  • Newtown Linford & Anstey
    JIM’S JAUNT Bradgate, Newtown Linford by Jim Reay Starting on a Saturday morning at St. Margaret’s Bus Station, Bay 7, I boarded the 11.13 Roberts Coaches 120 and alighted in Newtown Linford, directly opposite The Bradgate, at 11.36. As this pub doesn’t open until noon, I had time to walk down to the park entrance to see Leicestershire’s only surviving police box still used by the local constabulary where PCSOs Fiona Lacey and Tom Lloyd were sporting enough to pose for a photograph, Fiona confessing to being a big Dr. Who fan and delighted to have her very own TARDIS. Newtown Linford’s history is closely entwined with that of Bradgate Park and owes its very existence Leicestershire Constabulary to the park which was established as a deer park suitable for the chase by the 13th century, providing Snug. Another small intimate dining area, with one the gentry with both sport and food. At that time table to seat eight, is to the front of house, set in the land was in the ownership of the Ferrers family the large bay window. Towards the rear of house who decided to re-house tenants living within is a spacious Restaurant adjacent to which is a the park enclosure to a nearby purpose built new homely area called the Drawing Room. Yet another town situated at the ford over the River Lin; hence dining room is situated to the left of the front the name Newtown Linford. The Bradgate Estate, entrance and this in turn leads to a staircase taking including Newtown Linford, was bought by the one to the Loft Room furnished with one large Grey family in 1445, the villagers remaining their table able to seat up to twenty people for a meal tenants for 480 years when, in 1925, the estate was or conference.

  • Names in the First Parish Register from Markfield St Michael's Church, 1571 to 1784
    Names in the first Parish Register from Markfield St Michael’s Church, 1571 to 1784 The purpose of this publication is to allow those with a family history, linked to the village of Markfield, a chance to view the names in the very first Parish Register from St Michael’s Church, which dates from 1571 to 1784. Information has been compiled after scanning through innumerable fiches of the original leather-bound register at the County Record Office at Wigston. This booklet can in no way claim to give accurate information as to when families first came into the village. It is hoped that this compilation will though be as accurate as possible for the written records. An often semi- literate village parson, had to cope with what were then illiterate villagers, whose probably only chance to see their name in written form was in the Parish Church register. Strange accents and the complexities of names such as ‘Cicely Jecombottomly’ or ‘Marah Wainwrite’ made it even more difficult to put pen to paper. The present day scribe was herself briefly flummoxed by the surname ‘†ian’, until it dawned that the name was of course Christian. Many of the entries have suffered the ravages of time and some names have vanished in faded page edges, whilst others suffered events of the time and drowned in ink blodges. There are 354 marriage, 1399 baptism and 1125 burial entries included within the surname charts. Only about twenty names made so little sense that they were omitted, and others have a question mark after them.

  • THE LEICESTERSHIRE LIN: a RIVER THROUGH TIME Ernest Miller and Anthony Squires
    230487 05c-131-154 18/10/09 10:57 Page 131 THE LEICESTERSHIRE LIN: A RIVER THROUGH TIME Ernest Miller and Anthony Squires The River Lin rises at Ulverscroft in the uplands of Charnwood Forest and follows a U-shaped course before emptying into the River Soar at Quorn (Quorndon). This distance is only a little over 17km and nowhere could the Lin be regarded as more than a modest brook. The purpose of this paper is to examine the many different ways the river has been harnessed to serve the needs and demands of generations of local people through almost a thousand years. In addition the writers hope that their researches and fieldwork may point the way to other local studies along similar lines. INTRODUCTION Along its natural course the river seldom encounters a feature which interrupts its slow, steady and even sluggish flow. Only in Bradgate Park and at a few other places does the surface break into ripples and the speed quicken (Fig. 1). At different places along its length the Lin is known by at least four local names. These vary according to whom one speaks and which maps are used. For present purposes, from its source to Ulverscroft mill it is the Ulverscroft brook. From there to the dam of Cropston Reservoir it is the River Lin. Thereafter, as far as the dam of Swithland Reservoir it is the Bybrook and on the final leg of its journey to the Soar it is the Buddon brook. Although we employ these names the term ‘River Lin’ recognises the water course in its entirety.
