  • CNHW Neighbourhood Development Plan | Introduction 2
    CNHW CNHW Neighbourhood NEIGHBOURHOOD Development Plan DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2016 - 2031 Neighbourhood Plan for the Parishes of Cuckney & Norton, Holbeck & Welbeck Final Version January 2017 CNHW Neighbourhood Development Plan | Introduction 2 Welcome! Welcome to the Cuckney, Norton, Holbeck and Welbeck Neighbourhood Plan. We are fortunate to live, and perhaps work, in an historic, attractive and rural part of North Nottinghamshire, but we do not want our area to freeze in time. Our area needs to progress and develop to remain a vibrant community which is attractive for people to live in, as well as providing employment opportunities and leisure activities. Any development in these areas needs to be done sensitively, in a way chosen by the residents rather than dictated to by others and this plan is the vehicle which allows this to happen. The plan covers two Parishes: Norton & Cuckney and Holbeck & Welbeck. It is almost unique in that within the Plan area there is a single large landowner, The Welbeck Estates Company Limited, with whom we have worked with very closely in the development of the plan. At the same time it is very clear that this is a residents’ plan and not a development plan for Welbeck Estate. Although the Steering Group, pictured below, has led the production of this plan, the ideas and thoughts enclosed have been the result of several and varied consultation exercises over an extensive period of time. We have consulted widely with different groups and ages of people in different locations and by different means in order to reach the conclusions described. We have been very ably supported by members of the Planning Team of Bassetlaw District Council.

In Bassetlaw, however, the first sign that spring is just around the corner is heralded by the annual Hodscock Snowdrop Festival. This event attracts visitors from far and wide to see the millions of snowdrops in fragrant winter borders. The height of summer is the time when musical, artistic and cultural activities are staged throughout the district and the rural villages of Bassetlaw abound with summer festivities. Many residents open their gardens to the public and stage spectacular village events. A leisurely walk along the Chesterfield Canal is probably one of the best ways to enjoy a long summer evening, stopping to sample the delights of one the many picturesque pubs along the way. As evenings draw in and the leaves turn to gold, the stunning autumnal displays seen in Clumber Park can easily rival those of America’s New England states.

  • Clumber Park and Lake a Stroll in the Heart of Sherwood Forest

This vast area of forest and parkland is the Dukeries, formerly the ducal estates of Welbeck, Thoresby and Clumber. All three have ‘fallen from their Graces’ but Clumber lives on as the regional H.Q. of the National Trust, with the area taking on a new role as a popular country park. This longer walk encompasses many less frequented parts of the parkland, but includes part of the delightful lake-side track and the self-service cafeteria - of course. It’s mixed tarmac and footpaths. Before you go Look in Google for information on Clumber Park, Hardwick village and the Duke of New- castle. Binoculars are worth taking.

  • The State and the Country House in Nottinghamshire, 1937-1967
    THE STATE AND THE COUNTRY HOUSE IN NOTTINGHAMSHIRE, 1937-1967 Matthew Kempson, BSc. MA. Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy March 2006 Abstract This thesis considers the state preservation and use of Nottinghamshire country houses during the mid-twentieth century, from the initiation of mass requisition in 1937 until 1967 when concerns for architectural preservation moved away from the country house. This thesis reviews literature on the landed estate in the twentieth century and the emergence of preservationist claims on the country house. Three substantive sections follow. The first discusses the declining representation of landowners within local governance in Nottinghamshire and the constitution of the County Council, and considers how estate space was incorporated within broadened concerns for the preservation of the historic environment and additionally provided the focus for the implementation of a variety of modern state and non-state functions. The second section considers how changing policy and aesthetic judgements impacted upon the preservation of country houses. Through discussion of Rufford Abbey, Winkburn Hall and Ossington Hall I consider the complexities of preservationist claims and how these conflicted with the responsibilities of the state and the demands of private landowners. The third section considers how estate space became valued by local authorities in the implementation of a variety of new modern educational uses, including the teacher training college at Eaton Hall and a school campus development at Bramcote Hills. The thesis concludes by considering the status of the country house in Nottinghamshire since 1967, and contemporary demands on the spaces considered historically in this study.
