Location The Parish of Clifton Campville is situated at the south Tamworth and Burton upon Trent are nearer and more eastern tip of Staffordshire abutting the counties of easily accessible with a result that parishioners make Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Warwickshire. much greater use of the facilities of these towns rather than those in Lichfield for which they pay their council The location of the Parish, whilst in a pleasant rural tax. setting, nevertheless gives rise to two areas of complaint. First parishioners feel that its position in a There is a strong feeling that the County and District corner of the County means that their needs are Councils need to recognise the feelings of alienation overlooked by the County authorities in distant that these geographical quirks generate. Stafford, some of whom do not recognise the names of the villages when telephoned. Second, whilst the 100% agreed that this is a satisfactory statement Parish is governed by Lichfield District Council, 4 Background 2. The Parish Although the Parish is commonly referred to as “Clifton Campville”, it embraces the villages of Clifton Campville, Haunton, Statfold and Thorpe Constantine, each of which has its unique identity. Traditionally an essentially agricultural community, over the last century the population of the Parish expanded as improved methods of transport enabled people to live within its boundaries but travel to work in nearby towns and cities. The M42 makes daily commuting to Birmingham a feasible way of life. Demand for housing for commuters has increased the number of dwellings in the Parish and at the same time the cost of housing has raisen making it more difficult for young people brought up in the Parish to continue to live there. Agricultural employment these days is more mechanised and no other large employers have come into the area, therefore the Parish has become largely a commuter environment with an attendant weakening of social cohesion. Each village in the Parish has its own church. Clifton Campville also has a village hall, a public house and a Millennium Green, the last being both a wildlife habitat 3. Population and an area for leisure activities. and Housing Density Many older people born within the Parish would like to About 1,000 people live in the Parish in about 400 see a return to the way of life of their childhood. Many dwellings, just over half in Clifton Campville itself. newcomers hanker after a rural idyll derived more from Parishioners feel strongly that the density is such that imagination than reality. Most are deeply suspicious of no further housing development should be change. Few however would wish to give up the countenanced other than that already earmarked for telephone, television, and refrigerator. The world is in-fill, which will be on a small scale. Certainly there changing and, if we think about it rationally, this has would be the strongest opposition to any development been largely for the better. Inevitably changes will be outside the current envelope since this would alter the thrust upon the Parish. The purpose of the Parish Plan nature of the villages and be unsupportable by existing is to set out what changes parishioners would welcome, services. what they would wish to avoid, and how they would wish any changes to be introduced and managed. 86% agreed 6% disagreed 100% agreed that this is a satisfactory statement 6% neither agreed nor disagreed Parish Plan - 2013 5 Section two Parishioners’ Quality of Life Parish of Clifton Campville, Haunton, Statfold and Thorpe Constantine Our parishioners demand – and deserve – a high quality 5.

Bridleways Several private landowners have created permissive bridleways such that riders can take a circular route with minimal use of roadways. Bridleways need to be maintained to a satisfactory level so as to allow safe use by walkers, cyclists and horseback riders. At the same time all practicable steps should be taken to prevent motorised vehicles from using these routes. Horse riders welcome gates with fasteners that may be opened and closed without dismounting. 88% agreed none disagreed 12% neither agreed nor disagreed 7. Street Lighting have reached maturity so new plantings are being made to ensure that the area remains well stocked with trees. The provision of street lighting is generally adequate, though some areas could be better lit. Some parishioners have suggested that the Parish Council should be consulted before any trees are felled A common complaint is about excessive light pollution, in the Parish, other than those in managed woodlands, much of which is caused by the increasing number of so that opportunity might be taken to minimise the external lights on houses that shine onto fields and adverse impact on the landscape and to balance any onto neighbouring properties, dazzling drivers and felling with new planting. causing inconvenience to neighbours.

Information provided within the document will inform the preparation of a Core Strategy for the District as part of the Local Development Framework, in particular in the consideration of potential development locations within the District and an overall spatial strategy for longer term development having regard to principles of sustainability. 1.2 In his report on the Public Examination into the District Council’s first submitted Core Strategy (withdrawn 2006), the Inspector concluded that although there were proposed housing allocations within some of the District’s rural settlements, there was a lack of evidence in relation to the suitability of villages in the District to accommodate growth. He considered that the relative sustainability of different settlements should have been assessed as part of the preparation of the Core Strategy. He indicated that an assessment of the sustainability of rural settlements would ensure that the scale and location of development outside the District’s two main towns was driven by overall sustainability considerations, rather than simply the availability of previously developed land.

It should be noted that the information and any recommendations contained within each of the documents is subject to amendment should any new information become available. For further information regarding the Historic Environment Record (HER); Historic Landscape Characterisation (HLC) and designated sites please contact: Cultural Heritage Team Environment & Countryside Development Services Directorate Staffordshire County Council Riverway Stafford ST16 3TJ Tel: 01785 277281/277285/277290 Email: [email protected] Staffordshire County Council February 2009 1 Historic Environment Character Area (HECA) 2a Introduction This document forms an overview of the HECA which specifically addresses the potential impact of medium to large scale development upon the historic environment. The character area covers 5,645ha lies wholly within Lichfield District boundary and to the west of Tamworth. Archaeological and Historic Documentation Archaeological work within the character area has tended to concentrate along the A5 and the M6 (Toll) roads. The information on this character area mostly comes from the HER data, whilst VCH has covered part of the area. Historic Environment Assets Summary The current understanding on the later prehistoric landscape of the character area suggests that it had mostly been heavily wooded until Bronze Age, when some clearance may have begun to take place to support a small scale pastoral economy. The earliest evidence for human activity from the character area dates to the Mesolithic period; however, this comes from flint artefacts and probably represents the presence of mobile hunting groups and transitory occupation.

  • Wills and Religious Change in the Archdeaconry of Stafford, 1532-1580
    WILLS AND RELIGIOUS CHANGE IN THE ARCHDEACONRY OF STAFFORD, 1532 - 1580 by JENNIFER DAVIES A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY Department of (Medieval) History School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham February 2016 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT The entire complement of wills from the deanery of Leek probated between 1532 and 1580, about 1,300, have been examined to assess response of the testators to religious change through the first fifty years of the Reformation, by detailing the impact on their religious sentiments and bequests. While change in this backward agricultural community was late and driven from above, unexpectedly, once initiated, it took hold rapidly. It is suggested that this was due to the actions of the Protestant Bishop Thomas Bentham, anxious to mitigate fears voiced by critics of his weak implementation of government edicts in his diocese. He advanced change through monitoring and resolute control of his clergy. A transition from traditional religious sentiments is observed in the will-writing output of individual clergy: as priests appointed during earlier, Catholic regimes died or resigned, and they were replaced by men supporting the Elizabethan Settlement.
