Produced by the West Moors Parish Plan Steering Committee 2007 1. INTRODUCTION Background to Parish Plans The Government’s Rural White Paper “Our Countryside, the Future” (2000) proposed that all rural communities should develop “Town, Village and Parish Plans” to identify key facilities and services and to set out the problems that needed to be tackled with a view to demonstrating how distinctive character and features could be preserved. This was followed by the Countryside Agency launching its “Vital Villages” programme in 2001. The goal of the programme was to achieve socially and economically active rural communities that address their own priorities making them better equipped to shape their own futures. Parish Plans form part of this programme and funding for this initiative came from Dorset Community Action A Parish Plan should address the needs of the entire community and an important aspect of this is that everyone should be given the opportunity to take part in its preparation.

  • Ormans of Dorset
    ORMAN family origins in Dorset Jill Coulthard sent me this document about the origins of the Orman name which is common in Verwood in Dorset. She received it from someone with this surname she met at a family history fair. The story tells of how this family of Ormans derived its name from Ormandy (and other spellings) and in particular Miles Ormandy, the parish clerk of Hampreston, a village about 6 miles from Verwood. A Miles Bowness apparently from Windermere, Westmorland, was appointed Vicar of Hampreston in 1614 and it is believed Miles Ormandy was a kinsman who came down to assist him, but which must have been at a much later stage as the only Miles Ormandy (based on the on IGI) was baptised 1612 in Ulverston. Before too many years the family had dropped the DY and become Orman. First Generation 1. Richard Orman (or Ormundie) We found three children of Richard who we are told came to Dorset. SOURCES I.G.I. on net Supposition Richard Orman (or Ormundie) had the following children: 2 i. Miles Orman, born about 1612, Ulverston, Lancashire; married Anne Orman (nee Stevens), on 4 Apr 1638, Hampreston, Dorset. ii. Ursula (Ursella) Orman(dy) was baptized on 5 Oct 1603 in Ulverston, Lancashire. She was buried on 19 Aug 1638 in Wimborne Minster, Dorset. ANY OTHER INFORMATION 1603 Baptised as Ursula Ormundie 1638 Buried as Ursella Ormandy. We have been told by Nick Orman that she is the sister of Miles and James and a kinswoman of Miles Bowness, vicar of Hampreston. He left her £5 and left other sums to her brothers in his will.
