At first a chapel in the parish of St John it was consecrated as a church in 1850. The church has been well used and much loved for over 750 years.

Appeal Decision
Appendix 1 Appeal Decision Site visit made on 14 August 2013 by George Arrowsmith BA, MCD, MRTPI an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government Decision date: 24 September 2013 Appeal Ref: APP/J0540/A/13/2196127 Land to the rear of Firwood, First Drift, Wothorpe, Stamford. Lincolnshire, PE9 3JL • The appeal is made under section 78 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 against a refusal to grant planning permission. • The appeal is made by Kelland Developments against the decision of Peterborough City Council. • The application Ref 13/00087/FUL, dated 18 January 2013, was refused by notice dated 25 March 2013. • The development proposed is a detached house and replacement garage. Decision 1. The appeal is dismissed. Main Issue 2. The main issue is whether the proposed development would be detrimental to the character of this part of Wothorpe and to that of the nearby open countryside. Reasons 3. Wothorpe is an area of low density residential development set in mature grounds. As such it has a semi-rural character which shades easily into the open countryside surrounding the village. Because of its distinct character the village has been designated as a Special Character Area (SCA) in the Peterborough Site Allocations DPD. Policy SA19 in that document sets out specific criteria for assessing proposals for development in SCAs. The first of these criteria, which says that there should be no subdivision of gardens if this adversely affects the character of the area, is particularly relevant. 4. The officer’s report on the application describes the site and its surroundings as follows: “Wothorpe is a village of two streets, First Drift and Second Drift.

(2) RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Corporate Head of Sustainable Communities be authorised to submit comments to Peterborough City Council raising concern about: the amount of land which is being considered for development in villages of Deeping Gate, identified as “Small Village”, and in Northborough identified as a “Limited Growth Village”. The amount of land being considered far exceeds that envisaged in the Peterborough Core Strategy and would compromise the Spatial Strategy set out within. They could also have serious implications for the provision of local services and infrastructure within South Kesteven.

The Praetorium of Edmund Artis: a Summary of Excavations and Surveys of the Palatial Roman Structure at Castor, Cambridgeshire 1828–2010 by STEPHEN G
Britannia 42 (2011), 23–112 doi:10.1017/S0068113X11000614 The Praetorium of Edmund Artis: A Summary of Excavations and Surveys of the Palatial Roman Structure at Castor, Cambridgeshire 1828–2010 By STEPHEN G. UPEX With contributions by ADRIAN CHALLANDS, JACKIE HALL, RALPH JACKSON, DAVID PEACOCK and FELICITY C. WILD ABSTRACT Antiquarian and modern excavations at Castor, Cambs., have been taking place since the seventeenth century. The site, which lies under the modern village, has been variously described as a Roman villa, a guild centre and a palace, while Edmund Artis working in the 1820s termed it the ‘Praetorium’. The Roman buildings covered an area of 3.77 ha (9.4 acres) and appear to have had two main phases, the latter of which formed a single uniﬁed structure some 130 by 90 m. This article attempts to draw together all of the previous work at the site and provide a comprehensive plan, a set of suggested dates, and options on how the remains could be interpreted. INTRODUCTION his article provides a summary of various excavations and surveys of a large group of Roman buildings found beneath Castor village, Cambs. (centred on TL 124 984). The village of Castor T lies 8 km to the west of Peterborough (FIG. 1) and rises on a slope above the ﬁrst terrace gravel soils of the River Nene to the south. The underlying geology is mixed, with the lower part of the village (8 m AOD) sitting on both terrace gravel and Lower Lincolnshire limestone, while further up the valley side the Upper Estuarine Series and Blisworth Limestone are encountered, with a capping of Blisworth Clay at the top of the slope (23 m AOD).1 The slope of the ground on which the Roman buildings have been arranged has not been emphasised enough or even mentioned in earlier accounts of the site.2 The current evidence suggests that substantial Roman terracing and the construction of revetment or retaining walls was required to consolidate the underlying geology.

Executive Summary and Overview by the Chief Executive
Appendix 1: Proposed Vivacity Business Plan 24.2.1 Executive Summary and Overview By The Chief Executive The next five years is a story with two themes. The first is one of business as usual. Given the nature of our work this is not surprising. The day to day work of Vivacity remains unchanged- lending almost 1 million items through our libraries; teaching 1500 children a week to swim; providing 1million people the opportunity to take part in sport; approaching 100,000 people learning about their local heritage and 55,000 theatre tickets sold each year. The second theme is one of change brought about by opportunities. Most significantly: Development of Hampton Leisure Facilities - It is probable that the management of two new leisure facilities will be offered to Vivacity in the summer of 2013. This will generate fantastic new opportunities for people to take part and increase our turnover dramatically and hence make a significant contribution to our central support costs. This must be balanced by the knowledge that it will bring tangible risks- the business model is primarily based on the selling of gym memberships in other words a non- fixed income. It is crucial that we approach the opportunity presented by these facilities with business focus rather than being attracted by the opportunity of growth for its own sake. If these projects move forward they will become the main focus of effort in 2013 and 2014. Must Farm Finds - The long term future for the Must Farm find is far from clear. What is known is that Flag Fen offers up a medium and perhaps longer term opportunity for the preservation and presentation of these fantastic artefacts.

Flag Fen: a Natural History
Flag Fen: A natural history �� working today �� for nature tomorrow Flag Fen booklet.indd 1 16/3/05 3:23:24 pm Nature and wildlife is all around us. Wherever you go, from the remotest islands to the busiest cities, you will find plants and animals in some of the most unlikely places. A world without wildlife would be quite impossible for us to live on. As all forms of life on Earth follow natural cycles, so we humans depend on our plants and animals for food, clothing, medicines and even building materials. All our fruit, vegetables and meat come originally from a natural source, but in this country we are used to buying these products from supermarkets, carefully prepared and packaged. It’s sometimes hard to imagine that the perfectly-formed apples and carrots we see actually grew in an orchard or field! Imagine how much harder it would be if we had to find food for ourselves. Would you be able to find your next meal, or sufficient food to feed your family? Three thousand years ago, long before supermarkets, the people who lived around Flag Fen had to solve these problems every day. Flag Fen is an internationally important archaeological site, which has provided valuable information about Bronze Age people and their environment. Although they were farmers, wild plants and animals played an important part in the day-to- day survival of those early fen folk. 2 Flag Fen booklet.indd 2 16/3/05 3:23:31 pm Scabious flowers at Flag Fen: this former home to ancient Britons is right next to modern houses and modern life – and wildlife thrives here.
